to abandon London. Mrs. Aston herself
was long anxious to make foreign
tour that should include pretty much
the entire world, and We're it not that
her illness assumed so sudden change

strong and is being educated under the
supervision of private tutors, while the
little girl was on the point of entering
a girls school in Paris when her mother
died.
Mrs. Aston, during her residence in
New York, was noted among society
women by her passion for skating. She
and her husband or q brother would
be out in Central park every day that
the ice was in proper condition for the
geld pastime. Once she fell on the ice
and severely injured her arm and chest.
This ended her skating for that winter,
and the supposition is ventured here
and there that the fall of that day may
have been the beginning of the illness
that eventually terminated fatally.
Personally the deceased lady was quite
popular and frequently gave dinners to
aer husbands employees.

of its owner. From childhood up he

The Blnckfeet have bows Of bone;
other tribes utilize the horns of the
mountain sheep. The bone bows are
the most valuable and / have known
one to be sold for two ponies and five
pounds of butter.
One of these bows in the hands OF
an Indian on a fleet horse is n most
effective and powerful weapon. 1t is
impossible to estimate the force with
which these arrows are thrown, and
the dreadful effects produced from their
wounds, unless one has been in q fight
or ridden side by side with a party
hunting buffalo, and witnessed the ease
and grace with which the bow and
arrow are handled. Without seeming
effort an arrow can be sent entirely
through buffalo.

"You take re leetle rope and you put

French master, as he beckoned me
with long bony finger toward black
box concern that much resembled the

The professors manner now grew SO
authoritative, his black eyes SO fiery
and his mustache so uneasy that not to
obey was impossible. / grasped the
tube, put it to my ear and looked at
the professor for further orders. His
excitement grew, and bouncing off a
few steps and rubbing his hands with
delight he beamed upon me with sud-
den good nature.

head, thinking at the time will ever
get out of this and report his case to

ear piece into my ear with vigor that
threatened the safety of the drum.
''All re time you hear missing! You

he stepped of to admire me as paint
er would his latest production in oil,
while he gently swayed back and forth
using as pivot his high-heeled shoes.
Then with light step he advanced
and touched a bright button that shone
like an eagles eye from the black sur

Immediately sounded in my ears the

The mysterious voice stopped, and in

French teacher word for word what I
had heard.

his hands ceased their rubbing to find
place behind his back. where they kept
his coat-tails tapping in a manner that
would have made Talmage jealous had

drug propensities in quiet and gen.
Nemsnly way. 1t is an open secret
that at least third of the young men
In New York society are slaves to
seductive drugs of one kind and
another, from opium to absinthe,
and, of course, Lord Randolph
had no difficulty in getting what
he wished. 1t appears that he visited
p famous opium resort in the Tender
holm no less than six times and at last
game near losing his life as a result of
being carried unconscious to his car
riage on q cold and rainy night. The
aristocrat left New York a hopeless
wreck, and yet no one in the inner

his ailment, with the exception of those
who aided in aggravating it. Lord

dams in the Indian territory we find
that they have demonstrated their in
capacity TO govern themselves, and the
report recommends that the trust
which has been reposed in them by the
government should be revoked.
The courts of justice have become
helpless and paralyzed. Murder, vio-
lence and robbery are an everyday &C.
currence. 1t was learned by the COM
mission that ffty-three murders oc-
CURED in the months OF September and
October in one tribe only, and not one
of the culprits was brought to justice,
The Dawes commission recommend
that large portion of the Indian res
ervation be annexed to Oklahoma; this
action to be followed by forming that
country into a territory. But to &C.
complish this it would be necessary
that the consent of the Indians be OBJ
tanned, and this is doubtful
The statement that the Indians have
cast aside their ancient weapons and
adopted more modern ones and that
through the use of them they are grad
ually extending their hunting grounds
beyond the lines of their reservations
is false. The report of the commission
clearly makes this known. Throughout
the west the Indians still trust to their
bows and arrows. On the northwest
coast most of the Indians live by hunt
ing and fishing. They use principally
the bow and arrow, knife, war club
and lance. In the North Pacific ocean
are several islands inhabited wholly by
Indians. In the Queen Charlotte and
the Prince of Wales archipelago are
found one of the most remarkable
races of aborigines on the American
continept--the Haida tribes-and they
consist of strikingly intelligent In
dams. They acquire knowledge read
lily; learn trades and exhibit much in
genuity in following the teachings of
the missionaries and traders. Never.
theless they cling to the primitive
weapons of the race.
During the long winter nights The
old Indians seat themselves before the
fire and carve bows, ornament club
handles, and feather and point arrows.
Perhaps in some of the tepees hang pol
ished guns furnished by the govern
ment, but they are more for ornament
than use. This evening work is ac-
companied by tive low croaking of some
old Indian WI tells over again and

came-cIaIm that tie Sioux and Crows
make the best bows, although the
Apaches come close in the rank. When
the Sioux bow is unstrung it is q
straight piece of wood, while the
Apaches and southern Indians make
perfect Cupid's bow. The Crows often
use elk horns as material and carve
them most beautifully The Sioux, to
make the straight pieces Of wood more
elastic, string the backs with sinews.
Often these are beautifully beaded and
leathered, quite equaling. as a piece
of art, the elaborate ellShorn bows
made by the Crows. The Comanche's
bows are covered with sirew much like
those of the Apaches The objec. of
