Indian Territory. The Indians them
selves request that the Indian Govern
ment should be abolished, as we'll as the
interests OF 800, ,000 white people who had
been allowed and encouraged to 60 in the

lit OF the white Indians"

For Any Boy of Fourteen.

If you can, always play game in pref
erence To simply going through lot of

cises your head, rests your mind and
helps you immensely. Whereas. while
pulley weights help you, they only help
you 10 about half the extent that "A game

else out OF doors, then go to the GYM

the special work of boys In special en-
ployments. Suppose you are not very
strong and you are SO employed during
the day that you have to sit down ali the

OF the kind that will keep your body
moving. l should advise you, then, to
take ten minutes off just at nighlall. Put
on light garments, say pair OF low shoes,
a pair of drawers cut OFT at the knee and
and an notwithstanding more. Then
go out into quiet streets or into the couu-
try roads, and, beginning slowly, run
half a mile. Come In at once, run to
bath-aud every soul on earth in civilized
countries can have a bath If he really
wants one. Then rub yourself down
hard with towel and dress yourself l
say half mile Do that first. Soon you
VIII be able to do five miles if you have
time, but good half-mile run each night
OF your life will save many pain and

many bad fit OF the ''bIues." Don't be
afraid of going out in such clothes-un-
less you're afraid of the policeman-for
I've seen many Il Sickly boy run in Just
such clothes OH cold midwinter nights,
with SIX inches of snow on the ground
and bad snowstorm raging. You can
see the steam come out of your body
when you come i'll. If you sat down OUT
doors i've minutes you very likely would
never go out again; but you will not do
that; you will run all the time you are
out, and as soon as you have had bath
and are dressed you ara less likely to
tax o cold than you were before you went
out to exercise.-Harper's Young People.

Red River of the North. at Drayton. n. d.
AT o'clock Mr.. Gray Dem of Della
ware stated that he had no desire to delay
consideration of the canal bill, but he
considered the tariff bills of greater inn
porsance, and he thought the Senate
snould have an opportunity to say
Whether these bills should be considered.
lie did not think the discussion of the
Diiis would occasion any great delay. he
therefore moved to displace the canal bill
with the sugar bill.
Senator Morgan stated that while he
favored the sugar bill, he should be COM
peIied to vote against its consideration at
The present time, owing to the fact that he
had been placed in charge OF the Nicara-
qua Canal bill.
The bill was then read, after which
Senator Berry (Dem.) of Arkansas de-
manded the ayes and nays on the ques-
tlon. When the announcement came it
showed the defeat of Mr.. Gray's motion

ton 1or an amendment of the Senate
rules with modification, instructing the
Committee on Rules to report by the 18th

the motion. The motion was lost-24

istence or treaties, etc. There could be

nations than to take up the subject and

NEW EVENING WRAP.

and beauty. All sorts of cloth, silk, plush,
brocade, velvet and damasse effects in wool
are used, while the variety of styles is inf
mite.
One, plain full circular Of heavy cloth,
has revers of velvet, edged with ermine
reaching to the bottom, and short double
cape or wide collar, also trimmed with err
mine. The capes being full give the gar
ment high shouldered effect. On the
other hand, an English model shows the
fullness mainly gathered in at the back Of
the neck. A short, rather scant cape falls
over the long cloak as far as the elbow,
bordered with fur, as are the front edges of
the cloak.
Over this again is n sort Of fur pelerinc %
an old fashioned shape, which gives the
shoulders an extreme slope. Delicately
tinted silks of changeable hues are used for
the lining of these luxurious wraps in pref
erence to fur. which adds much to their
weight. Fur bands are used for trimming
almost entirely, however, and the gradu-
ated triple cape, both large and small,
proclaims its popularity here Us plainly as
in street garments.
A particularly pretty opera cloak made
of brocade shows these three capes conspicu-
ously. The first, bordered with band of
sable all around, reaches to the bottom of
the skirt. The second falls below the hips,
while the third ends just above the elbow.
The two shorter capes are edged with sable
tails as we'll as with the fur bands. A cape
like fur collar extends to the shoulders,
while flaring standing collar of the fur,
very high in the back, forms a background
for the wearer's face.
! Where fur is not used deep ruffle of vel
vet lined with silk finishes the edges Of
capes, while short double capes are shown
made Of velvet with frill of lace between
them. JUDO CHOLLET

left side of the five lateral puffs arranged
on the crown. The front hair is parted a
little to the left and curled, and the middle
Is drawn down on the forehead with point
ed effect.
In one new bridal couture the tulle veil
falls full all the way around, covering the
face, and the orange flowers are fastened in
a narrow chaplet, with two or three erect
sprays near or at the front. This is much
prettier arrangement than the late fashion
of leaving the brides face uncovered, and
the tulle veil, although inexpensive, is in
finitely more becoming than those made Of
rich lace.
English modes show tendency 20 carry
the hair back from the face and allow the
forehead to be almost entirely unshaded,
but the French still cling to the softening
effect of fluffy curls and waves. Not one
face in so can bear perfectly plain fiat
arrangement of the hair, although it has
sometimes a quaint look on a very young
girl and is the most dignifed style for an
old lady, since the one is supposed to have
not acquired and the other to have out
grown the frivOlities of the world. From
the hairdresser's point of view it Is de-
cided disadvantage to have very thick or
long hair, as its bulk and weight are a
hindrance to his art His full ingenuity
can be displayed only with short tresses
light enough to not fall from their fasten-
ings by their own weight.
A picture is given Of an 1880 couture. The
back hair is waved and drawn up to the
crown, where it is secured in braided coil,
through the middle Of which is drawn n
projecting loop. The short front hair is
parted in the middle and curled at the sides,

And life in -ke main is fair and sweet
Till selfshness mars and taints 1t.

And don't be one of the scorners,
Don't go about with clouded brow
And a mouth drawn down at the corners
Though fortune seemeth to frown on you.
Be never you disconnected.
If you put your mouth into rainbow shape
Pray let the bow be inverted.
Though you be sighted by fortunes pets,
Though you be scorned by the scornerS,
Still keep heart that is brave and strong
And q mouth curved up at the corners.
Don't look on life through smoky glass.
The world is much as you take it.
Twill yield you back a CLEAN Of light
Or glow of warmth if you make it
However fortune may seem to frown,
However may scorn the scorners,
Still face your fate with fearless eye
And O mouth curved up at the corners.
