they all look alike to the stranger. The
public school is one of the unknown
factors of Indian life in this section
and there are few who can read and
write.
The camp has been the most orderly

payments. In former cases there has
been always larger attendance OF the
tough element which has made the
nights hideous. Here the nights be-
come wild about the midnight hour
and then the "fellows" who want to
cut dash are in their element. Then
it is that the Alkali Ikes are ready to
60 out and shoot few holes in the at
mosphere without warning. Girls with
red ribbons in their hair are here and
they "do" the town of tents in the
most approved fashion, while the old
folks are having q shouting prayer
meeting, after the manner Of the COL

from Oklahoma are numerous and they

A
The Usage nation is ruled by q counl
Gil of fourteen members which is
chosen once in two years and which ia
in continuous session. It meets when,
ever there is anything for it to do. The
present council wants to draw from
the fund in the national treasury a.
sum equal to $500 for each member Of
the tribe and spend it in identifying
the lands of the nation, in building
roads and in erectingpublic buildings.
They promise that the money shall be
used to good advantage, but it is.
doubtful if it will be allowed. The!
elections are like those of other states,
except that the electors 60 up to the
judges and announce their choice Of
members OF, the council. No ballots
are used. The lands of the Indiana
are separated by strip of public do
main about a quarter Of q mile wide
and this cannot be titled. This tends
to keep the Indians from quarreling
and makes the courts of the nation
comparatively free from business.
The ambition of many of the from.
tier white men to become rich has led
them to marry squaws of the Osages.
They can do so, if the woman is willing,
without any other formality than the
paying of $40 for license. This does
not give them any part of the trust.

are so entitled and some of the men
thus married are wealthy from the
start that they got in this way. The
whites of course are in favor of draw.
ing out of the National Treasury the
money for improvements, as each mem.
Der of their family will get share.
The fullbloods, on the other had, are
somewhat jealous of the movement,
and prefer to let the United States
keep the cash and pay them only the
interest.
This money came from the sale OF
the Indians former home in Kansas,
which was in the best part of the
State. They seem to have made o
good trade when they took the Gov.
ernment's offer and sold out. Instead
of being paupers they are among the
Nations richest people, and if they
are successful in getting the additional
amounts that they are asking they may
have it within their means to make
great advances in civilization.

tory was opened to the settlers, that
there would be frequent outbreaks OF

1t is Made of Batistc With Insertion of
Cream Lace and Lace Edging to Match
Great Variety of New Ties and
Girdles for the Stylish Summer Girl.
Batiste of the plain, sheer, silky
quality with insertion of cream lace
and lace edging to match, was selected
for this stylish waist that May Manton
says will prove exceedingly becoming
to youthful figures. A glove-ftted
lining that reaches to the waist line
supports the material: The back is
seamless, the additional fulness at the
waist line being drawn we'll to the
centre, while the fronts droop in slight
blouse effect over girdle of Liberty
satin. The fronts separate, showing
a smooth vest or plastron composed OF
batiste decorated by bands of inser-
ton, the whole arranged over petunia-
colored glace silk. The neck is shaped
in low, rounding outline, presenting
the guimpe effect that is exhibited In
many of the newer gowns. The collar
is of the crush order with the usual
frill of lace above. The sleeves are OF
the mousquetaire variety and are
fitting with the exception of the
little puff at the top that is surmounted
by full short epaulette that some

seem to have made up their minds that
they are on honor to behave themselves
and they do so. They keep on theL
reservations and any wrong doings
that are reported are usually OF the
harmless order.
It is plain that they are taking on
the customs of the whites, and some
Kansans who went down to the terri
tory to fleece the poor redskin at one
of the pay days, taking with them
about $500, had to send home for
money to pay return fare. They made
up their minds that the Indian is not
quite such an unsophisticated individ'
ual as he is purported to be in the
pages OF Fenimore Cooper.
The one thing that they cannot break
themselves of is the habit of begging.
At all the stations squaws and chill

Large Waists Fashionable.

Large waists are said to be coming
in fashion again; but, curiously
enough, it seems to be the aim of all
dressmakers and tailors to give the
long, slender lines and as small waist
as it is possible with any breathing
power, and the lines of braid on some
of the new jackets are most cleverly
arranged to taper in at the waist and
broaden out over the shoulders. To
be tightly screwed into waist a
jacket does not make the figure any
smaller, fact it would be we'll for all
women to know, and good fit, which
makes any one look smart, always
gives plenty Of room over the bnst
and is only tight at and below the
true waist line.

Seals and Sand Storms.

You say the sealers on Pribylof
Islands catch the females when they
60 out to sea to feed. That is not 80,
as they never go out to feed. As for
the pups dying on Tolstoi rookeries
from the loss of their mothers being
killed at sea, that is not so; they are
killed by sandstorms. Tolstoi is the
only rookery that is affected by sand
siorms, and only one part of it, and a
this particular part is the only plae
wnere dead pups are found. y
It would be something to the credit
of the company if they would build a
board fence, like snow fence on the
plains, for about 500 yards on Tolstoi
rookery. 1t would save the lives OF
thousands of pups. s.--San Francisco Ex-

CHAPTER v.

1t was with feeling Of gloom that l
awoke the following morning. The ex-
citing scene of the previous evening had
thrown an agitating influence over my
sleep, and had dreamed Of duels, dis
aster, and destruction.
After 1 had dressed, I gazed at myself
in the mirror. Did l stand any chance
in this wild matrimonial scramble Tor
the hand of Agnes Upton? Perhaps so,
Thought, as stroked ny mustache and
noticed with satisfaction that my com
plexion was not quite sallow as usual.
The storm had cl!ared away during
the night, and the sun was shining
brightly. l sauntered forth in better
spirits than had dominated my being
when l awoke. There was sprightly
look to the avenue as l hurried along
toward Delmonico's, anxious to get a
lovers breakfast OF toast and coffee.
1t is striking fact that the man who is
in love and the roysterer who drank
too much champagne the night before
always eat O very light meal IN the
morning. In the present instance 1
played both roles. and the result was
t..at when my coffee and toast reached

thinking Of Agnes Upton. Should l
propose to her at once or wait until my
rivals had had an opportunity to present
their claims? 1t was hard question
to answer. II I went to her immedi-
ately l might gain an advantage by the
priority Of my suit. The tale of Lochin-
var came into my mind, and preferred
to ply his part than that Of the laggard

On the other hard, felt that, as I
had told the club would wait, l was in
honor bound to defer my proposal until
nv rivals had done their worst. All is
fair in love, they say, but the assertion
is barbarous and should have no weight

Tulle iB the Rage.

The prominence of tulle is the sensa-
ton of the season. Everything French
is trimmed with tulle, and colored
tulle is as fashionable as white. A
hat was seen wreathed in lunches Of
tulle, green and brown, in the midst
of which were perched couple of
iridescent plumaged birds, as if
among leaves, and outside Of chem, on
the rim of the hat, wreath of ivy.
But tulle is not only worn on hats.
There are tulle collars, worn with p
bow and paste buckle. And tulle
bodice strings instead of sash.
Tulle belongs by right to the young
and pretty. A white sailor hat, with
two immense tulle rosettes and an
oblong paste buckle and black and
white aigrette between, is designed for
the fairest of the fair.

most enticing devices. for the money
to be paid out. They put up 'sMid-
way Plaisance," where all sorts OF
games were in progress. Then, to
swell the crowd, there were hundreds
of business men who have been sell
ing goods to the freedmen for months
on credit, trusting in the coming OF
this auspicious time for their pay.
The total number of freedmen on the
rolls was over $500, and each share
was worth $1SS.74. The payment was
made by family, and on account of the
tangled relationship of a race that was
so lately slaves, the making OF the
rolls proved to be tremendous task:

White Gloves Again.

Naught completes the diaphanous
summer toilet so we'll as white gloves
really white, of course. Nothing
spoils summer costume so quickly
and effectually as dingy glove. But
then it is so easy to clean white
gloves, and they look so well when
they are cleaned, that there is no ex-
cuse for the woman who puts on q
dirty glove. There is the d ad white
glove, the cream and the ivory glove.
All these are beautiful, and all are
cleaned without diff Guilty.

belt of color to match the costume is
fastened as usual with the large orna-
mental buckle of gold or silver.
For those who are tired of the leather
belts the girdle of silver, set with imi-
tation Jewels, is the favorite. This is
particularly pretty when worn with
gowns of thin texture.
Ties this year are of many varieties.
The narrow string tie, the soft ribbon
bow, the fourth hand and the asco:
are all popular. The number of the
new collars is legion and the summer
girl who cannot find style that is be-
coming to her is to be reckoned unfor-
tunate. New York Journal.

treaty was arranged between them and
the Government that the freedmen
should be received into that Nation as
citizens and hold land in common
with the Cherokees. When the Cher
okee strip was sold the Indians forgot
the provisions of the treaty and wanted
all the money, but the Court Of
Claims gave $500, 900 to the freedmen
and it was the distribution of this
large sum that brought the people
together. ...
