Said pretty girl to the writer yes
terday: "Three of us girls happened to
be at my house one night when l read
an article in a newspaper that yellow
garter ON the left limb meant an en-
gagement in six months, and good luck
ever after. So we three decided to
wear them. We put them on the next
night. The six months will be up to-
morrow and not one of us has become
engaged. AS for the good luck which
it is supposed to bring, let me tell you
Of mine. During the six months of ex-
pectancy I have had a fearful case of
la grippe; / have fallen and sprained
my ankle; | have been cut by the
young man / liked best; / was thrown
off horse and badly bruised, and for
the last week have had an liberated
tooth. Tomorrow the yellow garter
will have to go. I'd rather die an old
maid than suffer all the unlucky things
it has brought me while waiting for a
man. The yellow garter is fraud.
1t requires too great stretch of mag
nation. That's all."-Kearney (Neb.)

The Cliff and Cave-Dwellers,

For great number of years in the past
travellers and explorers in the Southwest
ern portion of our country, writes Free
erick Schwatka, in the New York Irt e.
pendent, Colorado, New Mexico al d
Arizona have been astonished by curio us
buildings, perched high up IN the pre-
cipltous cliffs or buried in the deep caves
and caverns of that district, whose build
ers and occupants have long since disap-
peared. These have been figured so often
In prose and even in poet try, in pictures
and in models bv scientific investigating
parties, that Il person must be very far
behind the progress of the age who has
not read or heard in some way of the
ancient cave and if-dwellings of our
far Southwest. The d vellers themselves,
as | have said, had either disappeared by
emigration or had become extinct on the
very ground where their curious homes
had been built; although other evidences
of them besides these homes were still to be
seen in their singularly made pottery and
household utensils, and an occasional
more or less perfect skeleton here and
there.
Still living in the land of the extinct
cliff and cave-dweller were two radically
different kinds of wild savages; but
nothing that could be learned from them,
directly or indirectly, seemed to furnish
key as to what race these curious semi
aerial, cliff-dwelling people could have
belonged. There were many nomadic
races, represented by the Apache Indian
as the best typical case, that never lu,lt
any homes beyond those needed from
day to day, or for a single season ut the
furthest, and that lived by the chase and
plunder of other tribes more industrious
in collecting the comforts of home,
however rude, but probably far less COM
bative as whole. How many tribes of
this warlike, nomadic character there
have been in the past it is hard to judge,
for they, of all others, would have left
no signs of their presence behind them
had they disappeared by extinction or
emigration to other parts. Certain it is
that none of the present nomadic wander
ers of the far Southwest seem to know
anything, either by legend or tradition,
of the ancient cave and cliff-dwellers,
and look on them as having become ex-
tinct, or having disappeared long before
their forefathers came to this common
country.

color partly hides wellformed mouth.
He is more than six feet tall and
straight as grenadier; his shoulders
are square and we'll set, betokening q
physique of large muscular resource /;
in movement he is quick and energetic,
almost to abruptness.
Though his family have long been
the social magnates of the metropolis,
William Waldorf Astor has not cut
much of a figure as q society man" :"
His habits of thought and ways of life
have been those OF the student and
man of affairs. Like his uncle, William
Astor, he has delegated his social du-
ties almost entirely to his wife, very
beautiful woman, the daughter Of a
distinguished Philadelphia family,
whom he married about fifteen years
ago.
The estate left by John Jacob Astor
has been variously valued in the news
papers. Some have placed it at $75,-
O00,000 none lower, while the esti-
mates have climbed to $400, 900, 900,
this latter being the most sanguine
production of all the "guessers, for it
is guesswork pure and simple.
Ihe most reasonable estimate yet
made by an outsider of the Astor hold
ings was given by gentleman whose
reputation is that of the best informed
real estate expert" in New York. II
is his business to know the value of all
properties in the city, and it is his
pleasure to note and store away in his
memory all details pertaining to i'm
portant transfers, or those involving
celebrated people or properties. Thus
he has noted purchases by the Astors
of different tracts which have never
again been associated with the name,
the property continuing to appear on
the public records under the old owner
ship. This gentleman believes the
Astor family hold about ne-twentieth
of the realty values of the city, and on
that basis their holdings are worth
$3.50, 100000. These figures are prob
ably not far from correct.

A Cheap Compromise.

satisfied.-NelU York Sam.

A rugged farmer stallxed into the sanctum

which are literally covered with dainty
frills of mousseline de sole or gauze,
and Others where sections composed of
loops of ribbon alternate with cascades
OF tilmy lace. Surah parasols in plain
colors are edged with puffs of varie-
gated silk; brightly colored horizontal
and perpendicular stripes trim covers
of dark hue, and gorgeously tinted
brocaded satins are also utilized in
these manufactures.
Sun umbrellas, which on occasion
can also be used for rain, have handles
which are decorated with very natural
looking fruit and nuts, such as cher
ries, lady apples, grapes, walnuts, and
hazel nuts. The formation of the
handle shows decided modification in
size, small knobs, balls, and Jagged
crooks apparently being the most in
use, and in the materials employed the
preference is given to the natural
woods. In some instances two or
more kinds of wood are combined to
form a lattice-work handle; others are
beautifully carved, or oftener still
made of the unpolished wood without
decoration.
The same moderation is observed in
the ferrule or stick, which is neither
long nor short, but compromise be-
tween the two.

The one illustrated has twelve ribs,
and the shape is less deep than those
found in other makes. The ribbon bow
matches the plaid, and the handle is OF
buffalo horn. A variation of this style
has fourteen ribs, and resembles in
shape fiat Japanese umbrella.
A distinctive feature of this seasons
designs is the introduction of horizontal
trimmings of Yandyke lace, either as
an applique or an insertion on sill
or satin foundation. Contrasting col
ors are usually employed, although in
some cases the rarest of point ani

satin of the same creamy tint. The

lace in Vandyke points, used as an APP

Old Shah bah-skong, the head chief of
Mile Lac, brought all his warriors to de-
fend Fort Ripley in 1862. The Secre-
tary of the Interior and the Governor and
Legislature of Minnesota promised these
Indians that for this act of bravery they
should have the special care of the Gov
ernment and never be removed. A few
years later special agent was sent from
Washington to ask the Ojibways
to cede their lands and to remove to a
country north of Leech Lake. The agent
asked my help. | said: 81 know that
country. have camped ON it, 1t is the
most worthless strip of land in Minnesota.
The Indians are not fools. Don't at
tempt this folly. You will surely come
to grief He called the Indians in
council and said; "My red brothers,
your great father has heard how you
have been wronged. He said, 4 will
send them an honest man. He looked
in the North, the South, the East and
the West. When he saw me he said L:

years have blown over my head ard sill
vered it over with gray, and in all that
time have never done wrong to any

this treaty.
Old Shah -bah-skong sprang to his feet
and said; "My friend look at me The
winds of more than fifty winters have
blown over my head and silvcred it with
gray; but they have not blown my brains
