Early Rose Sitting Bull, nee Scared

casins, closc-titting cavalry pantaloons
and honeycombed belquilt. Her mer-

her a general fayorite, and she danced
IN many Il set where others with more
pretentious costumes were permitted to
rest, thus showing that it is lovelines
of mind AMI heart, and not beauty OF
apparel alone, which endears us t.
those who set by us the most
Thunder Pealings wore Il sort OF
Turkish trousers made Of bad-ticking
gathered at the ankles. also at the
agencv-while the agent was engaged
in sleep. She wore II sort of basque,

made of striped calico, and had evelet!
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 laprobe.
Her ornaments consisted of tinfoi
bracelets, genuine string of real beaA
ver's teeth about the throat, and moss
agate finger-nails. She wore her own
hair, and apparently without ornament.
Sward New alloper, who has recent
ly 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 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 glazir from up tho
Chugwater three years ago, n 81 per
day and rum. To protect him from the
night air, he wore n necklace consist
ing of a galvanic shield, and the artist
had also put on row of gilt studs
along his breast-bone as mark of es-
teen.
Sward McWalloper s,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 tina.
they would rather die than be of any
use on earth. He says there has not
been drop of perspiration or cake OF
soap in his family MS far back as the eva
can reach. He opposes the admission
of Soiled Dog to the Standing Rock
Social Seek -no-Further, on the ground
that he has drawn a salary as 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 to it.
McWalloper is Il great social pet
among the ouX, and no one would
think of wearing anything at all I'M
less he thought best.
Last year ut the Pocahontas and Pr
nte Patriarch balls young lady from
the Uncompahgre Agency who was a.
the Standing Rock Agency on q visit in
the home of her uncle. Pu-ma-le-at tie
ve-wan ke-gcke. or The Early Dwarf
Cyclone That Pulls Out Artesian Wells
With HIS Teeth, undertook to dress a
little di lcrently from what the rules
had Lem III re, wearing on one occas-
ion complete costume of pink tulle,
simply ga 'hcrel at the throat and fall
ing to hec feet, being only caught back
here and there b. a nail or knot in the
floor. Nothing like it had ever been
heard of by tie Sioux Nation, and tho
beautiful young Utes $, who had been
nelr OraT, where she learned to
Ouray for civilization, babe fair to cap
ture the entire Sioux tribe, so far as
the young men were concerned.
Sward McWalloper sent her note,
written on an old piece of bark with
pokeberry juice and paint brush, in
which by means of various Indian
characters characters which nobody
need feel proud of, either-he said that
he had learned from what he consid-
cred good authority that she had pur-
chased the material for her costume by
selling berries which she had picked
for that purpose,
So she was ostraciZed.
Costumes for autumn, both among
Sioux ladies and gentlemen, are found
TO have undergone little change,
