NAVAJO BLANKET
A Wonderful Product of the Primitive
 Looms Used by the Salaws.

Wonderful Product of the Primitive
 Looms Used by the Squaws.
 Americans are a travelling people but how many, outside of army circles, have witnessed Navajo camp or wit messed the manufacture of Navajo blankets? It is a product of the loom really wonderful in design and texture, when the disadvantages under which 1t is made are considered. The Navajoes are peaceful people of the Pueblo type. The squaws weave blankets and the men tend sheep and ponies. Many of them are rich and most of them are self-supporting, deriving their income from their herds, the wool of their focks an dthe manufacture of their blankets. The wool of what is termed "the native wool blanket" Is taken from their own sheep and native dyes, pro- duced from various herbs, give the blanket its peculiar coloring.
 The Navajo blanket belongs to the Navajo and to him alone. In fact it is a part of him. In every hogan or hut you will find these blankets, and a short distance away, among the sage brush or on the windward side of a IOCh, you VIII ste 4NdNdJD SQudW squatted on the ground busily engaged weaving another.
 The outfit Is very simple. Two sticks on which strings are strung, a long flat stick to ram each thread home, @ cy- Undersigned one to keep the threads straight, a small one similar to a comb to prevent any tangles-this is the loom which produces the weird Navajo blanket Yet with these tools a Maya jo squaw manufactures a blanket which may be used as a rug and will last half a century It may seem an easy thing to produce one, but just make the attempt.
 In these days when Navajo blankets have become product fthe market, and when the Indian is surrounded by civilization, with traders stores enab- ling him to exchange his blankets for articles of European make, there has risen a new Navajo blanket made from Germantown wool. It is certainly a work of art, handsome as well as net in appearance. The Indians buy this wool from the traders, and it is a cu- rious fact that of the multitude of

Best was not only hit freely, but was also wild and gave three bases on balls in the eighth inning. In the first inning the Waterburys struck their winning streak by landing four runs on three singles, a double and an error by Delaney and in he eighth inning three passes to first, a single and long two-base hit into right field by White netted four runs more. A hit by Rogers and a wild throw by Kinsella enabled the Hatters to score a run in the first inning Two hits in the fifth resulted in another run and a base or balls and a hit in the ninth resulted in bringing another Dan- burian across the plate.

 New York, Sept 2.-There was a great period of activity on the stock exchange this morning and brisk de- mand manifested for few stocks, but the dealing became more and more per- functory as the day proceeded. The market was under the combined infiu- ence of the existing heat and the tight ening money market and the approach of the Labod day holiday It had fall en into complete lethargy by noon and the governing committee was induced to reconsider its refusal to close the exchange on Saturday and decided to suspend trading from 3 o'clock to-day until 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning The announcement of this decision demonstrated that the weakness of some stocks earlier in the day had been due to speculative short selling, showed by the demand to cover shorts. Manhattan scored an extreme improve ment after marked early weakness of 2A, and Tobacco, after a loss of nearly four points recovered 1%. The early activity centered in the Pacifics, the preferred stocks showing special strength on the decision of the North ern Pacific directors announced later in the day, to put aside a reserve fund of $3 GOO, 900 to insure the continuity of preferred dividends. The common stock fell off a point on selling by holders disappointed in expectations that the surplus would be distributed as a divi dend on the common stock. The com- mon stock rallied only feebly on the presidents statement that the consider alton of the dividend on the common stock would be in order if business con- tinued at it's present level
 General Electric continued to show strength and closed at the best at net gain of 1M. Baltimore and Ohio also renewed it's advance. The market gen. erally drifted to a lower lever in the later dealings due to taking of traders profits in anticipation of the three days | interval of trading. The money mark ct hardened further, call loans general | ly being marked up to per cent. on | the expectation that to-morrow's bank 1 statement would show a still further decline in cash headings and surplus | reserve The higher money rate was not reflected in the exchange market, which was slightly firmr in tone.
