q Short Frontier Story,
Which Shows That the Indians About as Much Given f.
Sport as Their White Brothers
BY F1ANDRAu

There Is nothing remarkable in the fact
that places should be named for some
thing that has happened in or about
theeir locality, and nothing Is more nat
ural than that places on the upper Mis-
s1ppi river should be named after the
Indians and Indian occurrences. For
instance. we have Prairie du CHEN,
which is the French for the dog prairie.
In early days an Indian chief, who
sailed under the dignif1ed name Of THE
Dog" had his headquarters at this pra1-
RE, and thus the name. 1t will be OBJ
served that 1t has maintained its name
in full. Prairie du Chen" and was In
days past military post called Fort
Crawford, and is now quite an important
town in Wisconsin.
A little way up the river and we have
Prairie La Crosse, but the first part of
the name Is generally dropped now, and
it Is known as La Crosse simply No
old settler. however. who dates back Of
the SOS ever calls 1t anything but PraI-
RE La Crosse. This place got its name
from the fact that the Indians selected
it as fayorite point at which to play
their game. known to them as ta-kap-st-
ka-pi, but called by the French lacrosse

the jacket entirely, put on in bias lines,

either side of the front define the shape

reach the waist line at the back and

for stole ends, which have made their
appearance on some Of the very latest
gowns. These ends are made of lace or

Reports from London state that at the
opera one night last week Lady Henry
Bent1nck wore great punches Of peach
blossoms on either side of her head, after
the manner of the geisha," while an
American woman had her head covered
with masses of mauve orchids Lady AL
gernon Gordon-Lennox wore an immense
headdress of feathers and chiffon, with
a big jeweled snake going around the
back Of her hair, and Mrs. Carl Meyer
wore striking head structure composed
of jeweled rings. while Mrs. Heofa Will
Jams wore around her head two or three
rows of roses of various shades, and an
other woman wore violets from the back
OF her neck to her forehead
These remarkable headdresses may be
the natural sequence to the earlier re-
port that nearly all the fashionable wom-
en- in London were wearing enormous
wigs. These wigs were made necessary,
1T was said, by the fact that the,-wem-
ems hair was falling out so quickly that
a general epidemic Of badness was
feared
1t may be possible that the women
have rebelled against wigs. which are

able, especially in the London season.

vorite with the Sioux Indians It origi-
mated with them, and became what
might be called their national game
From its spirited character 1t was very
much liked by the Canadian-French,a and
they adopted 1t to such an extent that it
is called their national game, but under
an entirely different name. They call
it lacrosse. and are still devoted to it,
In fact it Is played very generally
throughout the northern half of North
America. In playing the game the In
dams used stick made of ash, about
the length of a walking cane. with a cir
cular bend at the end most distant from
the hand. in which curve was a network
Of buckskin strings, forming a pocket
about four inches in diameter and two
inches deep. With this stick, which is
called ta-ki-cap-si-cha, the ball is ma
n1pulated. The ball Is OF wood, round
and about the size of hens egg, and IN
the game must never be touched by the
hand. The Canadians have changed the
form Of the stick used by them by max
ing it longer and forming the end that
takes the ball something like half of a
tennis racquet.
years the favorite ball ground of the In
dams and from this circumstance ac-
quired its present name The white

description; suffice it to say that the
main object is to get the ball to certain
goals by two contending parties strug-
Cling in different directions In its main
features it resembles hockey. polo foot
ball and similar games, but with the In
dams differs In point of numbers who
play, the whites being limited to eleven
or twelve on a side. while the Indians
may have a whole band playing on
each side.
When the Sioux were moved west of
the Mississippi they selected the beaut-
full prairie on which now stands St.
Peter, In this state, as one Of their most
favored ball grounds, and many time
have enjoyed witnessing the game at
that locality, and most brilliant and ex-

like most savages, are great gamblers,
and the first thing In the game Is to
put up the stakes. which Is arrived at
