STORY OF THE CIVILIZATION
OF MARY LINCOLN.
An Oklahoma Indian Settlement
of To-day-The Eagle
Hotel.

Ollin. the driver, refused TO proceed
He was inabued with q dread of being
.',l,ired down." and we shared his fears
after that last struggle through a sea Of
LIQUID clay, when the horses were lashed
into a frenzy to keep them from sink
ing. We were entering the agency Of
one of the Indian reservations in Okla
homa.
'T'H take you all to the Eagle Hotel" ;"
said O!lin Tough place for women, but
better than this" and he shivered as the
icy wind chilled him.
No che greeted the three cramped
travellers when we drove up, no eager
host, no importunate bell-boy. The fiat,
frscrutable front Of the two-story struc-
ture was inhopitably closed. Ollin
threw open the small front door and we
entered directly into the liVing-room.
Four young Indians gathered around 4
card table continued their game after d
single glance OF indifference; an old
suuaw edged nearer the stove as though
to jsalously guard her place from usurp-
ers. and through an open doorway we
discerned a dark-hued siren combing her
straight black hair. 1t was hotel kept
by the Indians and I'D ans were he only
guests Could there be a greater con-
trast to the wild isolation of an Indian 8
life on the plain, or a stronger example
Of the rapi3ity with which he is adopt
ing the white mans methods? The pity
OF it is that with unframed discrimina-
ton he selects those features for emula-
ton which are the faults OF civiliza-
ticn. With thousands of acres at his
disposal ne builds narrow two-story
hotel and crowds his fellows into it with
metropolitan economy of space The
hving-room is no more than a gambling
resort-for the Indians are inveterate
gambler and the nir groom is sought
in moments Of anger as a place where
missiles ere handy.
No word Of English was spoken. al
though the young men at the table were
graduates Of Carlisle and we turned ap-
pcslingly towards ollin.
Mind what you say" he whispered.
They get mad awful easy. and they
understand English just as we'll as you
do
We We're shown to a room connecting
with the living room, but having no door
save a scant breadth of calico. which
Euttered out horizontally because of the
wintry blast which blew through tie
sheath boards. The room was iade-
scribable for untidiness. although the
necessities of life were there, as well as
decoration in the way of rattlesnake
skins. More young Indians entered the
outer room. and everything grew more
sinister as twilight approached. The
husband of the woman who kept the
house at last appeared with an armful

man, the only bit nf cheerful color in
the gloomy interior; bat. alas, h was the
worst of the lot, fer his temper was rs
lurid as his hair, and at that moment it
was intensified by drink. On his return
to the kitchen we heard sounds Of
breaking china and womsn's screams.
Without a word we seized our valises
ana fed into the dreary outdoors. Ollin

dulgent grin.
There's only one place you can try,

farm buildings, While beyond stretched
the acres of her allotment She stood
in the doorway as we asked her Tor
her hospitality, woman of gracious
but commanding presence, mild light
shining from her eyes and ready
smile showing her pleasure. She was
dressed with excessive care, and with
as much regard for the mode Of the
moment as though her home was in a
city instead of fifty miles from the
nearest railroad.
Supper was served by a neat little
hand-maiden of white blood, and the
cooking was delicious, the service ne
ing better than is found in most pre-
tentious homes in the Territory. The
family were all present. Mrs. Lincoln,
her sister, her son Ga little chap in
sailor costume just like any other boy),
and 4 young daughter, fresh from
boardng-school. After supper, all
gathered in the sitting-room, which at
first sight seemed to contain no clue
to the savage origin of its mistress.
