SMOKING HORSES.
The Strange Way In Which Indin ms
Obtain Their Mounts.

From the Philadelphia Times.
A curious method of obtaining horses is
practiced by some of the Indian tribes 1t Is
called on the plains smoking horses" If q
tribe decides to send out a war party the
first thing to be thought of is whether there
are enough horses at hand to mount the
warriors. If. as is often the case, the horses
of the tribe have been stolen by other In
dams, they decide to smoke enough horses
for present needs and to steal a supply from
their enemies a the first opportunity.
When this decision is reached a runner is
dispatch he'd TO the nearest friendly tribe with
the message that OF certain day they will
be visited by a number of young men, form
ing a war party from his tribe, who require
horses. On the appointed day the warriors
appear. stripped to the waist. They march
silently to the village of their friends. sea-
themselves in circle. light their pipes and
begin to smoke, at the same time making
their wishes known in a sort of droning
chant.
Presently there is seen, far out on the
plain, a band of horsemen riding gayly-
caparisoned steeds fully equipped for war.
These horsemen dash up 10 the village and
wheel about the band of beggarS sitting on
the ground. in circles which constantly grow
smaller. until. at last, they are as close as
they can get to the smokers without riding
over them. Then each rider selects the man
to whom he intends to present his pony and
as he rides around, singing and yelling he
!! lashes the bare back of the man he has Sc
! lected with the heavy rawhide whip until
the blood is seen to trckle down. If one of
the smokers should finch under the blows
he would not get his horse, but would be
sent home on foot and in disgrace.
At last. when the horsemen think their
friends have been made to pay enough in
suffering for their ponies, each dismounts
places the bride in the hand of the smoker
he has selected, and at the same time hands
him the whip. saying:
Here, beggar. is a pony for you to ride.
for which have left my mark"
After all the ponies have been presented
the "beggarj' are invited to a grand feast,
during which they are treated with every
consideration by their hosts. who also load
them with food sufficient for their home
ward journey. The braves depart with full
stomachs and smarting backs, but happy in
the possession of their ponies and in anticf-
patton of the time when their friends shah
be in distress and shall come to smoke
horses with them.

RIOT IN A STATE PRISON
Revolt by Many Conviets Armed With
Bars and Ha ners.

JACKSON. Mich. November pa des-
rerate riot occurred at the state prison
this morning. Deputy Warden Northrup
struck on the head with a hammer,
and is thought to be fatally injured. SUI
perintendent Coffee of the shirt factory
was beaten into inssnsibility with a club,
and Foreman Muller slugged with what
ever the convicts could lay hands on.
The enraged prisoners also smashed a
score of machines with hammers and iron
bars before they were controlled There
were 100 convicts at work in the shirt fac
tory. but only eighty were concerned in the
riot.
The trouble was caused by the foreman
Threatening TO report Dick IIurtley, a
tW enty-year man, for not doing his work
properly.
Huntley secured club. and without
warning knocked Muller down. The other
officers rushed to the foreman's assistance.
when several convicts took a hand and the
riot became general. but on the appearance
of armed keepers, the prisoners ceased
their murderous efforts and were locked
in their cells

Here is another suggestion
for the business man who advcr-
tises or ought to advertise.
Advertising space is valuable
in proportion to the extent and
character of circulation OF the
advertising medium.
The Stars advertising rate
for a given space for three
months or more is less than 5
cents per line, without changes;
for ten thousand lines to be
used within a year, changes at
will, the rate is 7! cents per line.
The Stars circulation rs be-
lieved to be five times that of
any afternoon paper in Wash
lngtOn-no other afternoon pa
per makes public its circulation.
On this basis it is therefore easy
to calculate that fair rate for
space in other afternoon papers
would be one cent a line where
The Star charges five and u
cents line as against The Stars
charge OF j cents.
