ST. REGIS INEs.y BASKETS!

Mr.. EDITOR: The St. Regis tribe,
of Indians are located on a Reserva-
ton of14,000 acres in Western Kansas.
The tribe numbers 2,1OO souls, inclu-
ding bucks, squaws and papoose. They
still adhere to their own language, few
Of them being able to speak English.
They, like the red men in general,
never want to be civilized enough to do
much hard work. That Is one Of
the accomplishments of the pale.face
that they regard as unfit for warriors,
and should only be tolerated when per-
formed by squaws. During the hunt
ing and fishing season the bucks are
seldom found at home, as they had
rather hunt deer ten hours a day
for week than hoe half acre-af4
corn. This rambling life, spent on rip
pling streams. mirror lakes and virgin
forests, studying the beautiful foliage,
the exquisite colorings of the forest
leaves, the lovely hues Of the prairie
flowers, and their natural blending and
shading TO produce brilliant and snowy
effects. These dreamy hours, spent in
studying nature, has developed avery
keen conception Of the artistic blend
ing of colors, so as to produce most
gorgeous results. For centuries past
they have studied the making Of bril-
liant and delicate colored dyes, until
at last they have acquired such skill
that they can dye strips of wood that
cannot be distinguished from the finest
colored ribbons. These stripseof ash
are then heated, so that the colors VIII !
be "fast," when they are wound in and
out in the most beautiful styles Of Baa-
kets, and when finished they represent
picture Of color-blending unequalled
