Indian Faithfulness.

The land In the Indian Territory
is fertile, but the poor roads prevent
marketing the crops, consequently
cattle raising Is II better occupation
than farming Much Of the farming
Of the Five tribes Is merely for II
livelihood. Ninety per cent, OF the
Indians practice the white mans
ways and follow his customs. The
Greeks and Choctaws still keep up
their ball play, and old Indian dances
are still held in some of the nations.
Some individuals OF the Five tribes
are still classed rs old time Indians
and maintain n sturdy adherence to
old Indian habits.
No distilled spirits are supposed
to be sold in the territory OF the Five
tribes. A villainous moonshine

A Child's Days Journey.

How many miles II day the little
feet OF young children will travel Is
often u source OF wonderment to pa-
rents who lovingly watch them.
This restless activity was never better
illustrated than by very old story,
which may interest readers OF this
column.
A grandfather who had little to do
except to watch the curious antics Of
his grandchildren rs they played
around the house, resolved that for
one day ho would follow one little
fellow who seemed especially restless,
prying into everything from morning
till night.
1t proved much more Of a job than
he had expected. Noon came, and
Il the child was not wearied tho man
was, but he had set out to 20 where
ever the child led and he persevered.
Toward night there came sudden
end to the experiment, when the child
crept through between the rounds oil

Whether the baby turned back and
winked one eye ut its grandfather

ADOBE HOUSES.


SVOVVt VVvVVUO'
Everybody who has ever seen q
picture of a cliff dwellers' town or
of q Pueblo village knows what an
adobe house IL. The adobe brick is
made Of a peculiar sticky mud and
Is always sun dried. The bricks vary
In size, and IRE about four inches
deep, six inches wide and sixteen
inches in length. while the outer
walls Of the adobe building proper
vary from two to four feet In
thickness. One old mission In New
Mexico boasts an outer wall six feet
in thickness.
Curiously enough, the exnct re.
ceipt for mixing this adobe mud Il
held as secret BY the Mexicans and
half breeds. Not even have they
disclosed the necessary amount oil
hay or straw to make up q perfect
adobe brick. Mayhap the Egyptian
told II to the Aztec, and this wonder

present.
The building OF an adobe house
must necessarily be confined tU the
months between May aud August. al

Mexico. for frost Is death to the un
baked brick. The adobe Is prepared
In the old fashioned way-that o.

Palace Trolley Cars.

A palace trolley car which marks
the height OF luxury and convenience
In street CIR construction has been
introduced recently In Boston. The
new cars are designed for the use OF
socalled trolley parties, and will DO
run only when especially chartered.
1t Is thought that they will prove
very popular for carrying theater
parties or parties for other entertain
msnts. The bodies OF tho cars are
20 feet long by Z feet 1 inches wide
and the motors IRE rs horse power

black and gold, with crimson panels,
and the trucks and running gear are

car will be supplied with twenty

the Kendals play. The fact is that
the repertory OF these actors appeals
to playgoers who have had years OF
experience. The drama Is almost a
passion with thousands OF people In
New York, and it Is no unusual
thing for one man to book seats for
every change OF play OF one OF the
visiting companies. With the eX-
ception OF Mr.. Mansfield, American
actors do not seem to have energy or
resources enough to present series
OF dramas with completeness in the
course OF two or three weeks time.
Mr.. Goodwin, for instance, plays
one drama all the year around, and
so do Mr.. Drew, Mr.. Sothern, M.
Crane and other stars Of their mag
nitude. Most of them would start
back aghast at the idea of setting
forth six or eight plays in the course

+ b. Dunn, the forecast official of the

take his residence in the Manhattan
tower, $50 feet above the Broadway
pavement. He will make this rise IN
life that he may get sufficient altitude
to- make accurate observations of the
state of the heavens and take precise
notes of air currents, and temperature

lesser elevation has for long time
sufiiced to keep the observer fairly
well above the smoke from the houses,

turbances caused by the roar and rum

of 100 feet has been found necessary to
get him above the fumes arising from
the LeXOw investigation, and out of the
way of the caloric explosions caused
thereby. Mr. Dunn may find himself in
something of altitudinous isolation in his
new abode. But he will have compen.

will catch no unpleasant and unwhole-
