SIOUX SEE THE SHOW
They Fall in Love With the Pretty
Chorus Girls.
After the Performance of ssGayest
Manhattan" They Are Permitted
to Go on the Stage.

Two boxes full of heap big Indians
can laugh at the Academy on Friday
night as they looked and listened to
the fascinations of "Gayest Manhat-
tan" The world did not see what fol-
lowed the show. or that might have
convinced it of another of it's errors
The Indians are highly appreciative of
feminine charms.
Twenty Sioux. with their interpreters
and a few friends and Times re-
porter. went behind the curtain and
held a reception with the scores of
pretty girls of the show in their stage
costumes.
The Indians undoubtedly had one of
the adventures of their lives. There
were a dozen or more chiefs of the
Sioux from the Rosebud and Lower
Brule agencies of South Dakota They
were in their most picturesque cos
tunes, nearly all of them, and they
made their boxes almost as gay in
color as the vivid Gay Manhattan
stage.
They sat with their eyes on the
stage every minute, very seldom ut
tering sound but very clearly mani
Testing their approval as the pretty
creatures in tights and smiles fitted
before them and sang and danced
Grim grins came. too. at times. and
nudges of elbows into each others ribs
at the funny parts
Willie Way, the girl in the mans
dress suit, was one of their favorites.
The quartet of warblers made them
smile. The man with the remarkable
whistle made them laugh out loud. and
so did one or two other attractions
masculine and feminine.
The reception after the curtain went
down was the event of the evening,
however. There were fifty pretty girls,
and the principals Of the company. To
them came Two Strike, Swift Bear, He
Dog. Black Wolf. Hollow Horn Bear.
Big Name, High Hawk and the. others.
They shook hands and smiled and ut
tered compliments. They bent over the
little woman with as much assiduity
as first night chappies.

Bear said to Willie Way"
The former took off his whiskers and
wig and revealed his smooth face to
their great enjoyment.
They remained behind the scenes fif-
teen minutes and didn't want to leave
when they had to.

Poole's Index for Children.

New York Commercial Advertiser.l
The librarians of the children's depart.
ment of Pratt Institute Library, who seem
always TO be doing something for the pleas
ure and education OF their little readers
have recently devised a new feature which
not inaptly might be styled 'Pooles
Index for Little Folks" Every week an
experienced librarian reads carefully all the
best periodicals for children. and then pre-
pareS series of cards, upon each one OF
which is written the title ana author Of
some intereStin juvenile article, its page
reference, whether it is illustrated, and in
some cases what it is about, if the title is
not suggestive enough. These cards are
then arranged by subjects and put on low
bulletin board, where they remain for two
or three weeks or q month at the end of
which time they are filed by topics in
card catalogue made for this purpose. In
this way OH the bulletin children can find
all important articles i'll current papers on
their hobbies, while the catalogue does silH-
liar service with the magazines of some
months hack. These back numbers are kept
in a convenient place and the little bit of
referring thus involved teaches the children
how to use library for reference reading,
an Invaluable knowledge, III be obtained
only by actual experience, and which cOru-
paratively few persons have The index
is also believed to encourage the children
to read their papers, in which many take
very little interest. When these, however,
see references TO sports, inventions, sol
diers or things which they like, they are
generally tempted it is found, to look up
this particular subject, and this leads to
other reading of broadening kind.
Every effort is made 10 bring the bulletin
into the lives of the children by catering
10 their healthy tastes.
