A PARLIAMENTARY STEw.

mary stew, with quite number of.
things in it. Each guest helped him
self, after which each guest helped
herself, if there happened TO be any
left This was followed by course of
treatment. This second course was
followed 10y case of Milwaukee beer
and also one of collie.
Alter the refreshments dancing was
announced, and the guests hoed 1t down
for quite a spell.
Early Rose Sitting Bull, nee Scared
Dog, wore beaded common-sense moe
casius close-ttting cavalry pantalools,
and honeycombed bedquilt. Her mer-
r. laughter and bright bon motj made
her a general favorite, and sine danced
in many set where others with more
pretentious costumes were permitted to
rest, thus showing that it is loneliness
of mind and heart. and not beauty of
apparel alone, which cndears Us to
those who set by us the most.
Thunder Pealings wore sort of
Turkish trousers made Of bed-ticking,
gathered at the ankles, also at the
aGency-while the agent was engaged
in sleep. She wore y sort OF basque,
tern sent by mail together with a years
subscription to the magazine. IL was
made OF striped calico. and had eyelet5
Mt the neck and wrists for collar and
cuff buttons. Over this, while not en-
gagged in dancing, which was most of
the time. she wore linen lap-robe.
Her ornaments consisted of tinfoil
bracelets. genuine string of real bca-
ver's teeth about the throat, and moss
agate fnger-nails. She wore her own
hair, and apparently without ornament.
Sward McWalloper, who has recent
" organized what he calls the Select
and Seek-no- Further Sioux Social
Circle, was dressed in buckskin small
clothes, worn plain in front and thin
behind. Being q social leader, he is
quite sedentary, and has never been
known to get right down to what is
vulgarly called sweat He also wore
alternate pin stripes OF elephants breath
and squashed cranberry down the
front breadth of his bosom, put on by
painter and glazier from up the
Chugwater three years ago, at 81 per
day 9pd rum. To protect him from the
night air, he wore q necklace consist
ing of galvanic shield, and the artist
had also put on n row of gilt studs
along his breast bone as a mark OF es-
TEEN.
Sward McWalloper is, without doubt,
the leader of society among the non
supporting Indians. He Is of noble
birth, for he has confessed to intimate
friends that such is the case. He be-
longs TO noble race of dark-red blood
ed people, who are so naughty that
they would rather die than be of any
use on earth. He says there has not
been a drop Of perspiration or a cake of
soap in his family as far back as the eye
can reach. He opposes the admission
of Soiled Dog to the Standing Rock
Social Seek no Further, on the ground
that he has drawn salary as a SOU
brette or walking gentleman for Buffalo
Bill. Soiled Dog has, however, proved
plainly enough to satisfy any ordinary
mind that he didn't get any salary. and
is, therefore, eligible; but Sward is re-
lentless, and will not hear 10 it.
McWalloper is a great social pet
among the S oux, and no one would
think of wearing anything at all I'M
less he thought best.
Last year at the Pocahontas and Pr
ate Patriarch balls young lady from
the Uncompahgre Agency who was at
the Standing Rock Agency on visit in
the home of her uncle, Pu-ma-le-at-te-
we-wan-kege-ke, or The Early Dwarf
Cyclone That Pulls Out Artesian Wells
With His Teeth, undertook TO dress a
little differently from what the rules
had been there, wearing on one occas-
ion complete costume of pink tulle,
simply gathered at the throat and fall
ing to her feet, being only caught back
here and there by a nail or knot in the
floor Nothing like it had ever been
heard of by the Sioux Nation, and the
beautiful young Utess, who had been
at one time a Sabbath-school scholar
near Ouray, where she learned to
! Ouray for civilization. badc fair to cap
