INDIANS ARE GAME BETTORs.
VIII Venture Their All on q Horse Race
Their Chief Diversion.

Their Chief Diversion.
"An Indian horse race ia the greatest
and most important G vent of the year to
the tribes who participate in it," said
Ramon Thornton Of Cheyenne to re-
porter. "It is totally unlike our equine
contests, for, to begin with, there is
only one race, for which it takes months
and weeks to arrange the details, and
must tell You that the average Indian is
remarkably good matchmaker. do
not think over saw race that was not
productive Of close, exciting finish.
AS soon as the day is set for the
great contest every man, woman and
papoose Of both tribes assemble at the
appointed place, bringing all their
worldly wealth to- support their cham
pion. When the day of the race arrives,
several large pa,ticolored blankets are
spread upon the ground, at either side
Of which the warriors and chiefs Of the
opposing tribes range themselves, while
behind are the chattering squaws, each
bearing the treasures Of her liege lord.
The head chief of one side generally
makes the first bet. Silently and with
stolid countenance he steps forward and
deposits his furs and other valuables on
the blanket often even going SO far as
to add his much priced rifle to the
whole. The leader Of the other side then
places articles Of a similar value beside
the first heap. A grunt or nod. and it
is bet So it goes down the line, wa
gering being conducted with gravity
that BELTS the occasion, for each tribe
knows that its opponents will bet all
they have got Even little groups Of
ponies are led off to one side and bunch
ed together, and that means that the
loser will walk many weary mile
through binding alkali dust before he
sees the tepees of his people But there
is no haggling, no disputes, no excla
nations Of surprise or chagrin at the re-
gult. 1t is impossible, as far as any out
ward demonstration is concerned, to
distinguish the victor from the van
quished, and in that respect think the
American Indian stands alone among
the nations Of the world Atlanta

In her article on ''The Myth Of the
40O," in Cosmopolitan, Mrs. Burton
Harrison tells of an American calling
upon lady in London and finding her
seated in a big chair by the window en-
gagged in some sort of needlework. A
young man came in ami paid his re-
spects, as it was her day at home, and
then bowed himself out. Three years
later the American was again in Lon-
don, and again he called upon the lady.
It was her day at hdne, and there she
sat Ill the same chair by the same win
dow with the same needlework, or some
very like it, in her hand, and, more re-
markabk still, the same young man
called anC made the samo remarks he
had made three years before. Mrs. Har-
rison tells this anecdote to show how
unchanged things are i'll England and
how you are pretty sure to find people
just about as you left them. The illus
tration is a good one, but I can match
1t with q better one over here.

You have already seen by the school
report in last weee's paper that we
are not having good attendance.
The object OF our public school is to
give such training to the young that
they may become self-relant and
independent in character and well
fitted to assume all the rights and
duties of true citizens. To do this
we must have regular and punctual
attendance. And that this object
may be realized the teacher and
parents must cooperate with each
other in securing the interest, the
correct department and proper efforts
of the pupils. The best results are
rarely obtained il this cooperation
does not exist. We respectfully ask
it of each parent.
The following is the best compost
tion from the third grade, Miss
Prindle teacher:
Rice is kind of grass or grain. 1t
grows to the height Of four feet. The
plant is one long stock with branches
at the top.
1t is cultivated in the southern
states, China and Japan. 1t needs a
low wet soil and a warm climate.
The fields are 80 fixed that they
may be flooded at will. The fields are
protected by banks. Water is drawn
off a few days before the rice is
harvested.
When the grain is ripe it is cut and
put into bundles to dry. Then the
husks are removed from the kernels.
The kernels are white, round and
hard. Rice is used as food and
made into flour. Rice water is used
as a medicine. Rice is fattenins
healthful and nourishing.

BLACK EYE FOR EUREKA.
Four Dry Holes Cause Weeping and
Wailing Among the Talent.

1t is finally settled absolutely that
the Little Venture Oil Company's well
on the Hammett farm at Eureka,
known as the Big Jim, is freak /,
is further settled that the field has a
beautiful black eye and great many
people who bonght in by paying big
fat bonuses are holding the bag. !
Four wells about the Big Jim are
not only dry, but haye failed utterly
to find the sand. Mackey & Bradens
Ruckman No 2, located about 45O feet
south of the Big Jim is down below
the latter well, with no sand in pros
pect. The Union Oil Company's No. 9
on Kester, $50 feet southeast of the
Big Jim is also below the pay and dry
as powder. The Roe well on the Ed.
Hammett place, 900 feet west of the
Big Jim, is a hundred feet below the
spot where the sand should be found,
and is also failure. The South Penn.
well on McTaggart. 1900 feet south
west of The Big Jim, is drilled below
the pay with not drop of grease in
sight.
Great things were expected of some,
if not all of these four wells, and their
failure is one OF the biggest disappoint-
ments ever known in the fields about
Marietta. The statement is freely
made by some operators. that the Big
Jim is not only freak, but that its
production comes from the black shale.
This belief is strengthened by the
actions of the Union Oil Companv's
Ruckman No. /, which made another
flow Monday from the shale.
Speaking of the excitement caused
by the striking of the Big Jim we'll
known oil man said Monday: The
Eureka field is second Finleyvlllc.
In February, 1898, at Finleyville, Pa,
a 300 barrel we'll was struck in what is
called the "5O-foot" sand, which is not
unlike the Berea. The we'll came in
on lease of about 200 acres, and fabu-
lous prices, aggregating 500, 600, We're
paid as bonuses on the surrounding
territory.
Fourteen wells were drilled around
the big one, all of them dry except
one. That one was close up to the
freak" and made ten barrels day.

NOVELTIES AND CCNvENlENCES

Stands for playing cards consist of
a pierced work case of silver, mounted
on end in an oblong silver tray.
This seasons products in hand
carved busts, statuettes and groups, in
ivory, delighted the holiday shoppers.
Mahogany cabinets in Louis XIV.
style attract with the artistic mar
quetry designs with which they are
decorated.
Every traveller is alive to the desira-
bility of large alligator satchel COM
pletely fitted with silver and cut glass
appurtenanccs.
The wearers of glasses appreciate
the convenience and safety afforded
by cases of velvet and leather, with sill
yer trimmings.
Unique among rattles for children
are rings of pearl or ivory, one-half of
which represents the man in the
moon, while the other half is furnished
with tiny silver bells.
In art furniture, nothing exceeds in
popularity, perhaps, the small gilt
tables mounted with Venetian plaques,
which form almost the entire top, there
being just sufficient gilt showing to
provide suitable frame for the plaque.
