A MIMIC WAR.

An Educated Indlan's Recollection Of
SI8oylsh sport.
One of our most curious sports was a
war upon the nests of wild bees. We
ina gined ourselves about to make an
attack upon the Chippewas or some
stole cautiously upon the nest; then,
with a rush and war-whoop, sprang
upon the object of our attack and en-
deavored to destroy it. But it seemed
that the bees were already on the alert,
and never entirely surprised; for they
always raised quite as many scalps as
did their bold assailants! After the
onslaught upon the bees was ended. we
usually followed it by a pretended
scalp-dancc.
On the occasion of my first expert
ence in this mode of warfare, there
were two other little boys who also
were novices. One of them. partic-
ularly, was too young to in
duIge in such an exploit. AS it
was the custom of the Indians.
when they killed or wounded an enemy
on the battlefield. to announce the act
in a loud voice, we did the same. My
friend Little Wound (as will call him.
for do not remember his name) being
quite small, was unable to reach the
nest until it had been we'll trampled
upon and broken, and the insects had
made ascounter charge with such vigor
as to repulsc- and scatter our numbers
in every direction. However, he evil
IDENTIFY did not want to retreat without
any honors; SO he bravely jumped upon
the nest and yelled:
II, brave Little Wound. to-day kill
the only fierce cnemy!'
Scarcely was the last word uttered
when he screamed if sta bbed to the
heart. One of his older companions
shouted:
"Dive into the water! Run! Dive into
the watcr!'' for there was lake near
by. This advice was obeycd.
When we had reasse IN bled and were
indulging in our mimic dance, Little
Wound wasnot allowed to dance. He
was not to be in eSistence-he had
been killed by our enemies, the Bee
tribe. Poor little fellow! His tear
stained face was sad and ashamed. as
he sat on a fallen log and watched the
dance Although he might we'll have
styled himself one of the noble dead
who had died for their country. yet he
was not unmindful that he had
screamed, and that this weakness
would be apt to recur to him many
times in the future.--Dr. Charles A.
Eastman, in ST. Nicholas.

His Method.

Doctor Frank, who was the joker of
the family, was visiting his sister. II
dare say you don't approve of that
dish, DOCTOR said a guest, pointing to
some iced cucumbers mot at all, :"

lutely unfit3 to be eaten by anyone
who has not the digestion Of the os-
trich."
Dear me, Frank said his sister,
uneasily, then you wouldn't advise me
to give the children any?''
"Thcy should not be allowed even to
smell them!'
"Well, if you're so serious about it, I
don't believe I shall venture to take
any myself. Mrs. B., will you have
some?''
mo, thank you, I think not said
the guest, in some alarm. Il always
have eaten them, but you know I've a
long journey to take tomorrow. and I
can't afford to be ILL -
''Then, since everybody refuses
said Doctor Frank, It'll take the dish
if you please. I'm extravagantly fond
of cucumbers. and I find this method
usually ensures me a large supply"
And that day everybody took cucum-

THE FASHIONABLE FUR.

Favored by the Wife of Every Cablnes
Omcer In tho Adn,inist RIA ton.
The first state dinner of the season
given by the president and Mrs. C]evc-
land esta blished beyond a shadow of
doubt that ermine is not only the lead
ing fur in the fashionable world, but
that it is a favorite one it'll the vvom-
en- of the administration. Without a
single exception the wife of every
cabinet officer ioices in the possession
of wrap lined or trimmed with this
fur, which but a season ago was the
despair of dealers, as they could not i'm
ducc customers to purchase it even at
the most ridiculously low price. Now,
by the inscrutable caprice of fashion,
it is the furriers turn to dictate, and
the society woman's ignoble part to
meekly succumb, since she must keep
up with the fashion at any cost. Not
to possess some ermine, either as lining,
trimming. muff or collar, is at once to
be counted out of the race.
Not only is this fur used for outside
garments by the elect of society, but it
is cropping up in bathrooms, taking the
place of mink and sa BILE as trim min 9
for gowns of heavy satin, brocades and
even the lighter, f1my materials used
by younger people. It's use is confined
to no especial age, inasmuch as it is
considered in the present season as APP
propriate for the debutante as the
matron. Now that crime is once more
fashionable it has, of course, come to
be looked upon as very effective and
becoming, without the slightest sug-
gcstion of stage properties or hint of
kinship to the robes of l>ingly tragic
characters in trailing garments lined
with royal cat fur, cmbcllished by va
rious devices of the costumer's art to
simulate the costly genuine ermine
tails.-Kate Fields Washington.

the division OF China into three pow

THAT plan was known TO be cherish

he said Certainly the war can no
longer be considered one to establish
the independence OF Corca, since that

as though China would soon be driven
to appeal TO other nations TO Inter

Previous to this announcement, II
was reported here that Japanese

difficult to conjecture the object of this
move on the part of the Japanese, un-
less 1t is 10 protect the right flank and
rear OF the japanese army from the
