Anoid Alaskan's Views.

Clerk of Court Falconer, of Falconer
was LsADER caller, Wednesday. He is
much interested in the Alaska gold ex-
'citem ent having spent eight years there
as a$g0vernlnent Il revenue officer. How
ever his personal knowledge extends only
along the coast. 1t ia big country and
covers thousands of miles, and he thinks
gold will be found in paying quantities
all over it. But before it ia dug out the
musquetoes-like exact old Shylock-will
have their pound of flesh as we'll as quarts
uf bloods. They are of the New Jersey
yariety-though much larger-size varied
from those of yellow jacket to mus
queto hawk. In fact he thinks the mus.
queto hawk out of business up there. He
further says Billy Winn. Peter Wilcox
Charley Carr and other Bis ma rckers will
swell the Klondyke rush in the spring.
For himself he feels TOO old to buck out
that way now. Young fel ow, with good
ssomach's, no diseases scraping their
bones. and with high pressure imagina-
ton can have a good chance to draw a
royal flush amid Alaska's sterile, snow
clad mountains, within the next few
years.

SHOCKING CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.


SHOCKING CRUELTY TO CHILDREN

al details of cruelty to children are read
The arrest of father and s,epnlother in

this. The starved and beut0n body Of a
child of 10 years was found imprisoned
in granary with life extinct. She had

reatment, which finally resulted in her
death, continued over two years in pop
ulated district where the facts should Sbe
made known to the neighbors. Is
The arrest of these parents should be
followed by the imposition Of q penalay
as full as the lev will permit. 1ts ali %

The fact that such terrible cruelty can
be practiced ON children in country we'll

CATLIN's SUCCESSOR IN INDIAN POR
TRAIT PAINTING.

TRAIT PAINTING.
On recent trip to the Ft. Berthold In
dian Reservation, the LEADER scribe visited
the studio of Miss Angel De Cora at the
home of her friend and old schoolmate-
Miss Dawson, reservation fold natron.
Miss DeCora, is of the Winnebago In
dian tribe now for the most pert located
among the Omahas of Nebraska. While
the wild Indians have always had an apt
titude for hieroglyphic or primitive draw
ing, comparatively few of the educated
ones have excelled in the fine arts. Miss
DeCora is one of these exceptions-and
to.day stands at the head of her race as a
portrait painter. She went first to the
Hampton (va.) school, and after devel-
oping talent for art went to Smith Col
lege, Northampton, Massachusetts, to
give special attention to this branch of
study. She did good work there and
graduated from the Art Department., ore
year ago last June, since which time she
has spent In Art study in the Drexel Insti-
tute of Art. Science and Industry, in Phil
adelphia. Pennsylvania, and will return
there in October. As one of her side epe
cials, she is illustrating Indian character
IL, some of Longfellow's poems. for an
eastern publishing honsc. She has al
ready finished upseveral portraits, emong
them life size face portrait of venerable
old Bull Head, full length portrait Of
Standing Bear, Arlcarree chief, aud some
excellent landscape work. It is but poet
lically fitting that the successor of Cat.
lin the great portrayor on conyass of the
wild Indian should have as his successor
one Of the descendants of those be- had
immortalized-and We shall greet Miss DE-
Cora as one who will line mp worthy ad
ditions to the gallery Of the great. artist
