HER DECISION.
The Problem Was Perplexlng One, But She
Settled II Speedily.

The Problem Was Perplexlng 0ne, But She
Settled It Speedily.
In charming indecision she gazed at
the two portraits. The uncertainty in
her heart elouded her eyes just enough
to soften and render more bewitching
their splendor.
(Which shall it beY' she murmured.
From one to the other of the pic
lures her glance wandered. Now her
countenance would for moment
beam with the joy Of settled choice,
only to darken again in a moment with
perplexity.
"If l could only say which one"
A sigh futtered within the tender
bosom and escaped from the rosy
lips.
"Wlll is dark. love dark men,"
She clasped her hands and raptur-
ously scrutiniEed the nearest portrait.
But Henry Is noble and good.
A faint flush crept into her cheeks
Her thoughts were with the other pic
ture.
Zone Of them I must marry"
Rising to her feet she paced the
floor nervously. 1t was LIES hap
piness that hung trembling In the bal
ance.
II am sure that both men love me
with all their hearts"
Hand was pressed in hand, until the
blood forsook the taper fingers with
the frantic pressure.
Both Of them-but stay"
1t was startled look that flashed
Eyes, yes 1t Is surely So"
Relief succeeded anxiety, and q
smile Of sweet content filtered about
her lips.
IF marry VIII, Henry"
She leaned forward fondly toward
the portraits.
Henry will give me a wedding
present. If 1 marry Henry, 1 just
know Will would be huffy and never
give me thing"
She pondered a moment IN silence.
EYES," she softly whispered at last,
II shall marry Will"
High resolve invested her personal
ity with a new interest.-R. Apnot In

INDIAN AFFEcHONArHNEss
Ia the Family Relation the Rsdman Shows az
Attractive Side.


Indians are not ashamed to show
their affection for one another, says
George Bird Grlnnell in the Atlantic.
Chums who have been separated for
any length of time are likely, when
they meet, to put their arms around
and hug and kiss one another. Often
two young men will be seen standing
or sitting close together and holding
hands, or with the arm of one about
the neck of the other. My old father
among the Blackfeet always puts his
arms around me and hugs me when
we meet after an absence. The pure
ly social side of life In an Indian camp
could not fail to interest any one who
might be introduced to it.
In the family relation the Indian
shows q side which is attractive. He
loves his wife and family as we love
ours, and he thinks of them before
thinking of himself. But besides the
natural affection that any animal has
for It's young the Indian cares for his
children for another reason. He is In
tensely patriotic. His pride in his
tribe and it's achievements is very
strong. he glories in the prowess of
Its braves and the wisdom of its chiefs;
bis soul thrills as he hears told over
and over again the stories of the vic
tories which his people have won over
their enemies; he rejOices at the return
of successful war party. In the chill
dren growing up In the camp, in the
boys shooting their blunt-headed ar
rows at the blackbirds and ground
squirrels, or yelling and shouting with
excitement In the mimic warfares
which constitute a part of their sport;
in the girls whom he sees nursing
their puppies or helping their mothers
at their work, he recognizes those who
few years hence must bear the re-
sponsibllities of the tribe, uphold its
past glories or protect it from danger,
as he and his ancestors have done.
No wonder he loves them. Indians
seldom punish their children, yet usu-
ally these are well trained, though
chiefly by advice and counsel. When
q tiny little boy, who has Just received
his first bow and arrows, starts out
Of the lodge to play with his fellows,
his mother is likely to say to him, "Be
careful, now, do not do any thing bad,
do not hit any one, do not shoot any
one with your arrows. You may hurt
people with these things, If you are not
careful. Pay attention to what say"

A Kissing Nation.

In no other part Of the world Is kiss
ing so much in vogue as In Russia.
From time immemorial 1t has been the
national salute; indeed, it Is more of
a or .scdng than a caress.
1n'public affairs, as in private, the
kiss Is an established custom. Fathers
and sons kiss; old generals with rusty
mustaches kiss; whole regiments kiss.
The emperor kisses his officers. On
reviewing day there are almost as
many kisses as shots exchanged. If
liltputian corps Of cadets have earned
the imperial approval, the imperial
salute is bestowed upon the head boy,
who passes it on with a hearty report
to his neighbor, he in his turn to the
next, and so on through the whole
Juvenile body.
On a holiday or fete day the young
and delicate mistress of a house will
not only kiss all her maid servants,
but all her men servants, too, and II
the gentleman does not venture above
her hand, she will stoop and kiss his
cheek.
To judge, also, from the number of
salutes, the matrimonial bond in these
high circles must be one Of uninter-
rupted felicity. A gentleman scarcely
enters or leaves the room without kiss
ing his wife, either on her forehead,
cheek or hand.-Tit-Bi

How the Gar Figures It Ont.

The czar sees it all now. He has
come to the very wise conclusion that
the best way in which to induce all the
rest of the world to disarm is to arm
his own government SO heavily and SO
formidably that the others would have
no chance in an armed contest. It is
on the same principle as the keeping
of peace in community by appoint
ing all the troublesome citizens to po-
sitions ON the police force. -Indianap-

FASHIONS IN FURNITURE.
Newest schemes In House Decoration
Jacobean Models.

Jacobean Models.
Red, running through the gamut of
its rich dyes. from Morris scarlet to
the deepest mulberry, is by universal
choice the favorite scheme in house
decoration this season. The steadily
increasing popularity of mahogany in
simple colonial forms has brought this
sanguine color into fashion. and after
long dalllance with French styles and
momentary fancy for delft blues, a
lavish use of gliding and white paint,
the whole inclination of extremely
modern interior ornamentation Is to-
ward the older, darker and severer
English modes. Nothing is more
acutely fashionable, for instance, than
library, hall or even an entire first
floor wholly decorated and furnished
after the best Jacobean models left in
England ireland and Scotland, and
one of the charms of King James
room is that 1t can be done at as lavish
or moderate cost as you please. and it
is like nothing we have had before in
our American homes. In Mrs. Elliott
F. Shepards New York house. only re-

less model for anyone desiring SINH
lar room to copy. The walls are hung
in murrey-colored leather, and the
woodwork Is carved cedar; the floor is
stained black, then waxed, highly pol
ished, and on 1t are laid red rugs. All
the furniture and this motif in decora-
ton come from an ancient manor
house on the border between England
and Scotland. Carved fumed oak, so
called trom being bIackened by age and
the smoke from slow peat fires, forms
the presses that hold the books, and
the wooden portion of the quaint, un
comfortable, long-legged, low-backed
conversation chairs, the window stools
and the settees. Murrey colored leather
upholsters these and in corners
against the walls there are carved
locked chests for holding valued man
uscripts aud family papers. and one
long tapestry curtain hangs at each
deeply recessed window. The effect
OF the Jacobean room is. in spite of its
absence of mirrors, gilt, and loose brio
a-brac, wonderfully rich, stately and
cozy, and in those houses where no
such liberal expenditure as in Mrs.
Shspard's could be indulged the decor
ators have pursued the King James
style with wonderful cheapness and
