INDIAN DIVORCES.

Tho problems Of marriage and divorce
have been added to the difficulties Of tho
Indian question, which presents SO many
serious aspects to the United Statos gov
eminent. With most Of the plains Indians
marriage consists simply of packing out the
maiden, leading her to O cabin or wigwap
and installing her as mistress Of tho house
and cornGeld.
Divorces arc quito rs simple. The fact
having been formally announced by the
head man of tho clan, the divorce takes
place when the tribe is gathered nt q
DANCE. When all D-o assembled and thu
cirolo formed, tho dlscontented warrior
strikes dunn used by the reyelers, gives
away fow presents Outlines making a
present to tho squaw he intends to take
ne1t), ana then, in d short, bombastio
speech, no stigmatizes his wife by giving
her over to tho tender mercies OF othBr
braves, while thoy look upon him enyi-
ously and consider TINT no has performed
On act OF bravery In his desertion.
Often as many as half dozen divorces
nrc thus obtained at single dance. No
tedious waising, no courts, no lawyers ans
no trouble about nlimony or the custody of
tho children. And the squaws thus cast
off, as general thing, seem to take 1t us
matter of course, and before the CLOSE of
tho dance arc using the wileS known and
used by women tho world over in an effort
to repair rs speedily us possible tho break

Now and thon, however, there are ex-
captions to this rulo, two notable ones
having occurred in Oklahoma within n
fow years. In ono case, when q young
Ponca brave, who had boen at Hasken
several years, camo homo and attempted to
discard tho wife of his boyhood in order to
wed % girl no had met mt school, the for
saken wife, Comes ut Rain, sprang through
the window of the dahcchouse and, before
she could be checked, stabbed her fnithless
husband to death as he stood in the ring.
Tho other caso was that of Wa-Pa- Be- Shn,
Pawnec bride, who committed suicide
because hor husband had danced what to
her was tho dance of death.
With the taking of land In seyoralty and
putting on OF citizenship, however, the In
dian finds that no has oomented tho tics
that were so loose before, for tho courts
everywhere are deciding that the tribal
marriages aro legal and binding upon tho

Yellow Bonnet, Cheyenne Indian of
some note, living on his allotment near
Guthrie, has applied for blanke, divorce
from four wives. Yellow Bonnet gives
MS reasons for such n sweeping divorce
that ho has embraced tho Christian reli-
gion, and his wives have refused to become
Christians.
1t WAS at first thought 1t was not neces.
sary to ask for u divorce, rs the laws of
Oklahoma forbid polygamy, but few
lawyers held that as no was married to
four wives under tho tribal laws, recoe-
nizod partly by tho government, and before
Tho laws of Oklahoma existed he could
not get separation except by process of tho
laws row prevailing. This opinion finally
prevailed. There is some question whether
tho four divorces can be made in ono. but
that is question tho court must pass on.
The wives will only consent to n blanket
divorce, for they are afraid to allow tho
caser to be taken up separately, Tor foar
that Bonnet, after getting rid of three
would keep the fourth AS there is intense
Jealousy existing among them the ATTORNEYS
could not persuade them to consent to sim

awarded to somebody, and Yellow Bonnet
seems willing to havc them allotted to
him, in spite OF tho fact that no has do

SAVED BY A GLOVE BUTTON.

How much may depend upon q glove

ton (Me.) Journal, at one OF the Monson
slate quarries In an adventure which the
person concerned would not care to repeat.
He was derrick man who stood on the
brink Of ono Of tho great chasms from
which the slate rock is hoisted. His duty
was to catch hold OF big hook depending
from tho end of the boom as it swung over
The bank and attach it to the crate to be
sent back into the pit. Standing upon the
very edge, he reached out to catch tho hoax
which dangled near him. It was winter,
and he woro thick buokskin gloves.
Tho hook slipped from him as no leaned
out, but caught into the fastening of the
glove. Tho swing of the great boom took
him OF his foot In an instant ara carried
him out into giddy space, with his life de.
pending on the gloves holding fast. His
whole weight was hung on that button,
and there was clear 175 feet Of space DO.
tween him and the door of rock below
Tho moments that passed before tho boom
could DO swung over the bank seemed like
hours to him, but he got there at Inst safe
and sound. He explained that ho did not
dare move his hand In the glove to attempt
to catch tho hook with his fingers for fear
the change OF position would loosen tho
button SO 1t would give way. His pres
cnce of mind in keeping MS still as possible
may have helped to keep tho slender thread
from breaking.

I On novelties are even now preparing orr
winter garments. The shirt waists are
OF everything possible to use, even some
are shown of boiling cloth. These have
oyerlaid straps with heavy yak lace
sewed upon them. Yak, maltese and
torchon arc all shown rs among the

only been laid on fat in such Il way
i that their design shows up rs the trim
ming. Where the design is very heavy,
at is often carefully stitched down and

Che prettiest things of the season,
though they arc rather used rs back

From private adYices from Paris
learn that there is to be decided move
ment in favor of first empire styles
I for the coming season, most particular
ly as regards all outdoor garments.
4 These will have the straight lines Of
1 the military habiliments of that day,
and the collars will be high and dou-
bled over. Besides this point of resem-
blance the sleeves will be almost exact
oly like those of that time, and they will
I be trimmed with braiding i'll two and
sometimes three shades and fancy brass
buttons. The coats viii be worn open
over vests, which recall those of the
first empire, and usually there are two
vests made to wear rs occasion de-
mands with tho same coat. One is for
ordinary street wear and is as plain rs
possible, while the other, for visiting or
more ceremonious needs, is richly en-
broidered with fine pattern and has u
! crayat of fine lace Indeed, these arc
4 very beautiful, and may be made to cost
very dear, according to the lace en-
ployed. In some cases great tulle bows
are tied under the chin, the ends hang
ing ont full down to the bust. These
bows are already with us, and are to be
seen on few of tho most advanced
costumes.
Some of the vests arc made of cloth
\ and thickly sewcd with spangles, and
others are of silk, others again of linen
: duck or nnnkeen, and all are ornaluonted
in some way A few have embroidered
pin dots in n widely contrasting color.
: i saw one vest made of mastic faille
franchise, embroidered in two shades
OF brown; worked into the pattern
We're numbers of gold spangles and n
few imitation topaz jewels. The vest
was beautiful, and one which could be
worn with almost any open coat. Some
ladies' have real jewels, such rs garnet
turquoise and topaz, sewed in with the
embroidery, but that is not likely to
become general style.
This peculiar style of vest requires
the finish Of tho fall cravat bow, and
these bows surpass anything of tho kind
ever shown here before The chiffon
ties are lovely. They are made the whole
width of the material, and the ends are
del1cately embroidered i'll soft white

coming an effect as tho tulle and chiffon
