King George has in this country 5oVcO

podes from him. are as Grscian In looks

more numerous, indeed. than the Swed-

large perhaps as the italian or the Span

pursue walks of. life in which they are
not conspicuous These are so import

disappear from this country there
would be a void which could not easily
be filed.
When the subjects Of King George ar
rive in this country they invariably know
where they are going. y great number

Fifty Thousand Greeks Who Supply the
Streets with Candy, Fruit and Flowers.
A NATION WHOSE WOMEN DO NOT WORK..
Dime by Dime They Have Collected Fortune to Send
Home for the Struggle in Crete.


At night the Greek goes home from
his work, and II he ventures out again
it is to visit a nice little back room of a
coffee-house where he plays dominoes
and drinks some very simple beverage
and talks politics. only when there is a
rational disturbance does he become boist-
erous, and then the hidden fire of his
nature leaps out into flame At a pa
triotic greeting in New York a few nights
ago the police had 10 be called IN for fear
of a riot. At the mention Of the name
Turk" the Greek grows blacl-browed,
and one Of the eruptiona Of his peaceful
nature can be looked for.
The Greeks whole aim in life IS 10

Mover a Chinaman thinks more-longing-
" Of his native soil than "a Creek. He
is one Of the few that avowedly come
here only to earn money to take them
home to pay of mortgages and live in
plenty.
When the trouble broke out and King
George declared for the Crctans, the
Greeks rose here as man ana began
to collect money to help him. In two
days q thousand dollars was raised. 1t

Indians And Their Cattle.

Some time ago the Indian police on
Rosebud agency took up 1000 head of
range cattle that were found grazing
on reservation land and held them for
a ransom of 81 a head. The owners of
the cattle sent Il protest to Senator
Kyle, who last week secured their re-
lease. The Indians claimed they were
entitled to damages for tresyass, but
they overlooked the fact that no dam
age was done. and the further fact that
they do not own this land. 1t is a de-
lusion that of the red man that be-
cause the government treats with him
and pays him for his release of all
claim to government land that he
actually owns it. During the past few
years it has been the rule of this agency
to practice this eNtortion and many
small herds have been held on which
charges of this nature have been paid.
1t is stated, also that it has been the
custom for the Indians to drive these
cattle from the ranges to the reservat.
ion that they might more easily ac.
complish their purpose.-SiouN Falls

the notable features of tho Ladies'

It is the prelude to series of interest

Valley papers, in which she will por-
tray the life of an ideal rural commun-
ity.

Black Hills Onyx.

Conductor Bowker of this city, who
runs on the Burlington between Edge
mont and Deadwood, is the owner of
some ground near Pringle upon which
he is developing valuable deposit of
onyx. Not long ago he sent samples of
the stone to an onyx dressing establish
ment in Philadelphia, and was promptly
informed that it was much superior to
the article that can commonly be Sc
cured. a request was sent for Il larger
amount of the stone, and Mr.. Bowker
has some men employed now getting
out 1000 pounds to he sent away for a
further test. Onyx in Il good state is
worth $50 per cubic foot to be dressed
and manufactured into the tops of
