A REMARKABLE BELT.
Was Once the Property of a Dead
and-GOne Indian Princess.

Miss Winnifred VIM of Ravenswood
has recently come into the possession of a
beautiful belt that hundreds of years ago
was the wedding gift of Sioux Indian
princess. Later it was captured in a
battle between the Sioux and Chippewas
and was retaken. Finally the princess
herself was captured and she ransomed
herself by giving up the belt and all Of
her other possessions. For generations
it has been known as the Indian ransom
belt.
1t is marvellous bit of work and con-
noisseurs who have examined it affirm
that nothing like it can be found in
either the British or American museums.
The belt is twenty-nine and one-quarter
inches long, two and one-quarter inches
wide and contains II $50 beads. 1t would
take an expert Indian worker six months
of continuous work to make it.
But skillful fingers are unable to re-
produce it now, as the beads are no long
er manufactured. They are about the
size of pin-head and as brilliant as jew.
els. There are nineteen colors and
shades, in blues, reds, pinks, yellows
browns, salmon, amber, and clear glass
but the colors are so tremendously blend.
ed that the effect is as exquisitely rich as
a Persian pattern.
There are seventeen mosaic designs
running through the centre of the belt
and they are surrounded by milk-white
beads. The edge is etched with sharp
pointed pattern, done in tull colors, and
though centuries have passed since it was
fashioned by a mothers loving hand, on.
ly three beads are missing.

He aroused the Indians gratitude by
various humane acts and on Christmas

the San Diego officers, and were re-
ported to have no articles on their per.

thought 1t would be just as well to ap.
ply their methods of Investigation, and
the outcome was a lot of money, mug

The coolies had little packages OF
gold dust carefully packed away be.
tween each toe; others were braided
into the strands Of their queues; bank
notes were cleverly stitched into the
lining Of their hats and the creases of
their clothes. In fact, almost every
place, mentionable and unmentionable,
where coin, bills or gold dust could be
hidden, contained its quota, the total
found amounting to something over $40
in bills, as much more In silver, and no
one knows exactly how much In gold
dust from Lower California mines.
The money of course belongs to the
Chinese, but If they had been allowed
to keep 1t on their persons while locked
up, they would surely have been robbed
of every cent of 1t by the other prison.

THE OLD FARM.

love to dream about the days
! spent upon the farm;
The theme Is rich In memories
That never lose their charm.
Though early lured away by tales
OF trafic's golden rain,
How oft, how oft I've longed to turn
Back to the farm again!
I've toiled for gain in busy marts
And scorned the paths Of ease;
I've wooed with fervor fortunes smiles,
Across the briny seas;
But neither tabled wealth Of Ind
Nor flames ambrosial wine
Could e'er afford the lost delights
OF that old home Of mine.
There every humble duty bore
OF rich reward its need,
And sweet approval gave a smile
For every kindly deed;
There peaceful sleep did wait upon
Each day Of toll and care,
And hope gave strength each dawnins
Its burden new to bear.
There peaceful scenes on every hand
Did e'er beguile the eye;
The woods, the hills; the winding streams
Rejecting azure sky;
The kline, contented, browsing DER
The blossom broidered void;
The ewes and lambs, at wane Of day,
Returning to the fold
All filled my little world with joy
And bade brief sorrows fly,
AS soothes the infants griefs away
A mothers lullaby.
Nor sordid aims did mar the flow
OF innocent delight,
While honor's precepts were instilled
With loves persuasive might.
Then take me back, oh, take me back
To that fair spot once more,
To me more lovely than the famed
Estates of classic lore!
Oh, take me back and let me rest
There, safe from grief and harm,
To spend my brief declining days
Upon the dear old farm!
