An Indian Bridal Pair.
From Ainslee's Magazine.


"Once l saw pretty thing. young bride
of the Kickapoos, on a sort of wedding trip.
She was tall and slight, and-so closely do
the members of tribe resemble one an
other-she looked like the twin sister of her
young husband. At first they were accom-
panied by a stout old chief, but he left af-
ter circus day 1t is odd to see an Indian
chief patronize the peanut and lemonade
stands, and sit unmoved at the performance,
and yet stand enthralled before the cages
OF animals unknown on his native prairies.
The bride and the bridegroom spent three
four days in the town, wandering about
as unconScouSy Adam and Eve in the
garden. The man was already maSterful
and protecting, the girl shy and subservient.
Day after day they walked hand in hand,
looking at everything, people, shops. cattle
but never speaking to any one, never even
to each other, yet deeply content in the
consciousness of companionship. They were
q living example of the happiness of sim
plicity and, while they stayed in the hust-
ling town, made many a civilized man and
woman think of how far their own conduct
wives and husbands fell short of the
standard of this unconscious Indian pair

The Negro in Hot Weather.

From the Jacksonville (Fla.) Times Union
1t has often been said that the CAPACITY
of the negro race for enduring heat has
never been fully tested. An incident related
by dairyman living on the outskirts of the
city seems to bear out this assertion He
has young negro boy, who looks after the
cattle and does chores around the place The
only effect that the heat produces in his
case is a desire to sumber. The dairyman
had a young calf in the barnyard, and as
the sun was pouring in on the poor animal
his wife sent "Carlina" out to turn the calf
loose, so that he could seek shady spot
After waiting an hour for his return the
housewife went to the barnyard to investi-
gate. There she found both boy and calf
curled up in the hot and sitting barnyard.
The calf was dead from the effects Of the
sun, but the boy was slumbering peacefully
by its side.
While negro can stand any amount of
heat on his head, he loves to cool his heels.
1t Is common sight In the winter to see
a negro boy on frosty morning with his
head bundled up to keep out the cold and
at the same time walking unconcernedly
along the frosty ground in his bare feet
Ono of the hottest places In the city on a
hot day Is at the lumber wharves of the
Florida Central and Peninsular railroad.
