SHE RETURNS TO sAvAcERY.
Educated Indian Maid Goes Back to Her
Fathers Wigwam.

Winnetta Wilson, a Neg Perces In
dian girl who was sent to Pennsylvania
for education, was graduated from a
university and became a favorhte in
society, has welded a six-foot buck and
returned to her fathers wigwam.
Speaking of her life and her late ac-
ton she says: who can blame me
for feeling as 1 do? Who with any
sympathy or sense of justice can con-
denim me for choosing to remain with

Curious Japauese Custom.

The Japanese have a custom of cele-
brating the blossomfng of the trees by
a general holiday This aesthetic peo-
pie also regard the grouping of flow
ers as such a fine art that they fire.
quently require their young women
to take a two-years' course simply in
the arrangement of flowers. Both the
Chinese and Japanese have a
true idea of the value of each
blossom, leaf and stem in the
final effect. Each twig, each branch
is given its place in the study; no
blossom or leaf must be crowded. each,
instead, must stand forth in its own
beauty of form and color.

Season Is over.

Missoula. July 27-The strawberry
season is again over for this year. and
there are number Of people that have
neglected ordering them in time for
preserving. The price Of the berries did
not drop so low as it did last year.
This year the lowest price reached was
s1.25 per crate, while last year they
could be bought for 10 cents. The rea-
son for the high price this year was the
small crop compared with that of last
year, caused by the freezing of the
plants last winter. The raspberry crop
is now pretty well on and If any one
is going to preserve them, now is the
time to buy them, and not put it off UNI
til the crop is exhausted or the prices
too high
