The only kiss worth having is that Of a

it only submits to it, and keeps its sweet,
dainty, perfumy little mouth, shaped like

delightful it is Mems kisses arc like Scotch

kisses are inclined to cover ones entire face;
but Il baby simply exists and lets you AXE q

M idea that their kisses are appreciated
they are most immensely mistaken. The av-

THE AFTERNOON DRIVE
railroad trains now arrive and depart each
day. Tho great hotels are all on one street,
and located in the immediate neighborhood
Of the principal springs. On Broadway,
separated from each other mostly by inter-
sccting Streets are twelve hotels, with a pi-
azza frontage Of half a milo i'll extent The
street is broad; SO also are tho sidewalks, and
they are densely shaded with great trees,
mostly Gins From the north and the south,
III the hotel section, the street inclines to
Monument square, a spacious plateau, from
basement portions of the great piazzas on
these inclincs are numerous stores, closed in
winter, but occupied in summer chiefly by
nonresident merchants from the great cities,
who expose for sale tho choicest of their
wares.
Each of these stores is brilliantly illumi-
mated by electric lights, and there arc many
other electric and gas lights on the streets
and OH the hotels and in the park. The
scene in the evening is one of rare interest
and great beauty. On the piazzas of four of
tho great hotels there are full orchestras fill
ing tho air with music, while the hotels them
selves are swarming with people Crowds of
humanity are constantly passing up and down
the sidewalk and into and out of the park,
whero there are displays Of fireworks aud
more music, while thousands of men and
women stroll along the graveled paths or si1

feebleness. The Shoshones, who were once
estimated at so, 900, are mere handful: the
Blackfeet scarcely figure as O troublesome
tribe; the Bannocks have never done much
since Gen. Connor defeated them in 1868: the
Cheyennes, Arapahoes and Comanches figure
no more in the history and romance Of border
war, and even the untamable Apaches have
found it safest to transfer their operations to
Mexico. The Sioux alone remain resolute
and strong enough to make big war
Fifty years ago the Sioux dominated tho
whole region from the foot of the Rocky
Mountains eastward to the settlements in
Wisconsin, and from latitude 42 degs. to or
beyond the British line-some 400 900 square
miles. In the southwest Of this area were q
few Cheyennes, and on the north scattered
bands of Mandans, Gros Ventres, Blackfeet
and Assineboines, but practically the whole
region belonged to the Sioux. The extent of
their rule is witnessed by the musical names
of lake and stream for 700 miles from east to
west: Minnesota, Minnehaha, Minnetonka.

white man overwhelmed all of them; but as
late as 1856 the Sioux and Chippeways had
bloody fight in sight of Shackopee, MINI.
Near the close of the Seventeenth century
they began a long war with the French.
They maintained tolerable peace with the
English, and furnished them some warriors
in 1925. Except occasional murders they
maintained peace with the United States till
1854, when a bloody war began with the
massacre of Lieut.. Grattan and his COM
