FRAUDS ON INDIANS.
Conspiracy to Cheat the Greeks Out of
Larg Sums.

LtrS sums.
Washington, Nov. 13.-Mr. j. w. Zen
| eley OF the interior department, who
was selected by Secretary Bliss to
make an investigation of the reported
issue of fraudulent warrants by the
Creek Indians, has returned to Wash
lngton after spending a month in the
Indian territory making the inquiry.
The investigation established the fact
that lsparhecher, the principal chief
has no knowledge whatever of the Eng
lish language, and that all the war
rants purporting to have been issued
and signed by him were, in fact, issued
and signed by an under secretary in his
office. Tie investigation also devel-
oped the fact that number of persons
had combined togeaher to defraud the
Greek government out of large sum
of money.
The warrants now known to be
traudnlently issued amount to 500. 7o4. :
%. The parties engaged in the con
spiracy will be prosecuted.
The government of the United States
has lost nothing. and the secretary
says he intends that it shall not. He
expresses no opinion as to the liability
of the Creek government as to the
fraudulent warrents, but proposes to
see that the Creek Indians are fully
protected

A Novel Button Bag.

eff you want to look right, sew

painted in water colors on a novel
button bag that is being finished for
the holidays. The main part of this
bag is one-half yard of two inch rib
bon, and it's construction is quite sim
pie. Fold the ribbon in half, and in
the fold place a spool of patent shot
thread. Above it on the silk lightly.
mark line in order that when row
of machine stitching is run across the
spool will be held in place, but not
so tightly that the thread cannot be
unwound. Above the thread pocket
make a similar pocket for the paper
of needles, then one for the scissors,
and above this join the sides of the
ribbon to form a small bag. Turn
down the rough edges of the ribbon
and make a narrow casing in which
small cord is to be run. This not
only draws up the little ribbon bag,
but serves to hang up the entire arti-
Gle. To the back of the bag attach six
buttonholed leaves of white flannel
for the needlebook. The motto can
first be outlined on the ribbon with a
soft pencil and then embroidered in
with silk. Bright red and olive green
make dainty, pretty bag.

Homemade Christmas Presents.

AS the holidays draw near there is
a great demand for novelties, espec-
tally for those that can be made at
home. Two useful and dainty gifts
which can be easily made by the aver
age bright American girl are here de-
scribed.
At a Japanese store, that home of
pretty things within the reach of the
most slender purses, can be purchased
for the sum of 10 cents lifelike little
head with fringe of wiry black hair
protruding from under a paper disk.
In the center of this is a hole, through
which a buster is intended to be slip
ped, but very fantastic penwiper and
blotter combined may be readily made
instead. Cut two circular pieces of
chamois of two contrasting colors
(every desirable shade can now be OBJ
tanned in this leather; the model was
made of yellow and royal purple),
and, having pinked the edges, gather
in bunch from the center and fasten
with a bit of wire to burned match
Slip the match through the opening
in the top of the head until it rests
crosswise inside, thus fixing the pen
wiper firmly in place. Now cut six
squares of plotting paper of the same
color as the chamois and lay them
alternately one on top of another;
then cut a circle of channels an inch

Holiday Suggestions.

Among homemade Christmas pres
ents set of envelopes for interesting
clippings can be made as elaborate as
one wishes. The essentials are to take
long envelopes and label them for the
various purposes for which they are
intended. For instance, one set con-
tains one envelope each for clippings
rela ting to politics, medicine, society,
stocks, religion, poetry, celebrities
and college news. Such set should
be a very nice present for sister to
give a brother who was prominent in
college journalism. Just the bare en-
velopes tied together with the college
colors would suffice, but to make the
set more fanciful take some chamois
skin and cut it large enough to form
a sort of book cover for the envelopes,
decorate it if possible, but if not sim
ply print the word clippings in gilt
letters On the back. Then lay the en-
velopes together and punch two holes
about 21s inches apart, make holes in
the channels cover to correspond and
run ribbons through envelopes and
cover to tie them together.
Another fancy made after the same
fashion is number of decorated
cards tied together in a book. The
cards are long and tied at the ends
The outside card is decorated with
clover blossoms and labeled in gilt let
ters, "Baby's Progress" The next leaf
has 'Baby's Birthday" next "Baby's
Name,' next "Baby's Weight" with
spaces for weight at birth, at one
month, at two months, at six months,
etc.; next, "What Baby First Said,"
and last, ''When Baby First Walked"
with tiny shoes and slippers for dec
Grafton at the foot of the page. This,
of course, would be a dainty gift for
the fond young mother from her sis
ter or dear friend. These, however,
involve some skill in painting and are
of no use to the ordinary mortal
whose birth was not recognized by the
color muse.-Selected.

A Perfect Bread.

1t does not look nice and dainty like

long ago, referring to whole wheat
or Franklin bread.
'That is nonsense, my DEAR" said
her friend, ''you would not apply the
same rule to cake; indeed your family
like dark spiced cake better than light
colored cakes; it's simply "question
of COLOR" it is not white to be sure
but find the pretty golden brown
just as tempting as the white bread,

every evening for about two weeks
tirely out and will not reappear in
any form. If the turpentine runs on
to the adjoining skin it will cause a
little soreness, but otherwise the rem
edy is as painless as it is efficient.
An excellent food for an invalid
who has grown tired of the beef juice
and beef tea, is beef jelly. Cut
pound of the lean of beef as for beef
tea, and cover it with pint of cold
water. Pour into double boiler and
stand aside half an hour, then put
over the fire and heat to the boiling
the surface to remove any particles of
grease. Soak one-third OF a box OF
gelatine in two tablespoonfuls of cold
water, and pour the hot broth over it.
Season to taste with salt, and pour
into small cups to harden. Do not
strain the broth, though clearer
looking jelly will be the result, as
part of the nutriment is taken out by
straining.
The following recipe has been found
specially effective in stubborn cases
of rheumatism: One new egg well
beaten, half pint of vinegar, an
ounce of spirits of turpentine, half an
ounce of camphor. These ingredients
must first be beaten together thor
oughly, then put in a bottle and shak-
en- for ten minutes, after which it
should be corked tightly to keep out
the air. In half an hour it will be
ready for use. 1t should be applied
three or four times a day, and for
rheumatism in the head it should be
rubbed on the back of the neck and
behind the ears. 1t will keep for an
indefinite time, and, in fact, is rather
improved by age.

and half in diameter and lay in the
center of the topmost piece of blot
ting paper. Take the head, make a
hole in each side of the neck and,
threading a large needle with baby
ribbon, pass it from the chamois on
top through the last sheet of blotting
paper and then back again, this time
passing through the hole in the side
of the neck. Now take the two ends
of the ribbon and tie first in a firm
knot and then in dainty little bow.
Having made a similar bow on the

Another pretty present is Japan
csc ballet dancer shaving paper case.
An ordinary Japanese doll about ten
inches high is used for this novel lit
tie dancer. Having disrobed the VIC
tim of it's native gown, proceed to ar
ray it in Grape tissue paper. The one
in question was dressed in light blue,
the ribbon used being black. The
trousers, which reach just to the end
of the unsightly brown muslin and
the beginning of the pink knee, are
cut from an oblong piece of tissue pa
per, sewed up the center and shirred
at the bottom of each leg to form a
ruffie. A waist is cut from a straight
piece with two holes cut for the arms,
into which is sewed a plain straight
sleeve shirred at the end to form a
ruffle. This is creased around the GEN.
ter to make wheellike effect. The
waist is then shirred around the neck
about half an inch from the top to
form a ruff1ed collar. For the skirt
cut 20 circles about Az inches in d.
ameter and notch their edges, fold in
half and then again in quarters with
out creasing them. Thread these
through the pointed end on a strong
piece of linen cord and, tying the cord
tightly round the waist of the doll,
push the frills until they stand ous
evenly all around. A ribbon is then
passed round the waist, crossed in
front, then in the back and is tied in
a bow in the center. A loop of the rib
bon is then sewed to the crosspiece
by which to hang it up.-Ex.
