largest Indian reservation in tie United
States. the Ki0wa and Comanche reserva-
tions. These Indians are fed. clothed
and educated by the government. Every
effort is being made to cvilize them. Some
OF the cousins will doubtless be surprised
to learn that the Indians have better
chance to get an education than most white
people. great many Indian boys ana
girls are sent east to school every
year, besides they hive many Good Schools
here on the reservation. Yet when they
graduate and come back to their tribe they
don their blankets and moccasins and live
about the same as before. They will not
talk English if they can make themselves
understood by using their own language or
making signs The government has bdllt
nice houses for most of them. Their houses
well built and nicely painted. but are
unoccupied.

A Stranger Ia New York.

"A Stranger In New York" is no strang-

son and partly because OF the close proN-
unity of other worthy attractions Hoyt
& McKees clever musical comedy at the
opera house Tuesday night was not greeted
by quite as many people as on the twp
previous presentations In this city.
Hoyt's plays are ever full of charming
Tits of fun and genuine wit and humor
"A Stranger in New York" Is no excep-
ton to the rule. The lines and situations
are good, and the songs, quite up-to-date
and spicy. The cast Tuesday night was un-
usually good throughout, there being no
weak spots to mar the perfect continuity
of the performance. The scenery was
bright and beautiful and the costumes
were striking in design and coloring.
The role Of "a Stranger in New York"
was played by Mr.. Jos, Coyne, who sus-
tains the comedy throughout, and wins
hearty applause and laughter. Closely
behind was Tom Martin, an aged baron
