Inquiry of Endeayorers and

The TRANSCRIPT desires to
have answers to the following
query from members Of the
Christian Endeavor and Epworth
League Societies: Months ago
the TRANSCRIPT inserted col
umn upon the Sunday School
Lessons which are so generally
used. 1t is presumed these COM
ments are read and are appreci-
ated by members of the Sunday
Schools and Bible students.
Subsequently comments upon
the weekly topics of the Christian
Endeavor societies and also those
of the Epworth League were in
troduced. The query is, care
these found to be useful or do
the many special papers and
helps so abundantly furnished
the societies do away with the
necessity for these newspaper
comments?" II so, thespace can
probably be devoted to some
thing of more general interest.
Answers are desired. A postal
card will fill the bill.

RINEHART'S INDIAN PICTURES.

In the summer of 1898 the Govern
ment Indian Bureau invited all tribes
Of Indians in this country to send dele
gates to an Indian Congress, and they
gathered from far and near with their
ponies and tepees and gaudiest trap
pings In the Exposition Grounds at
Omaha. Never before had there been
and never again will there be such a
gathering. There were about five hun
dred of them, some partly civilized but
the greater portion picturesque in
original savagery. Strange as it may
seem at this late day many of the In
dams declared that before coming to
Omaha they had no idea what multi
tudes OF white men there were or how
hopeless it was to try to stand against
them. This was probably the last time
that so complete and spectacular a
view of the North American Indian
will be possible and those who had the
privilege Of witnessing it are to be
counted fortunate. At the time of the
Indian Congress a prominent pho
t0grapher obtained permission to take
the photographs of the most noted
chiefs present and succeeded N obtain
ing collection which never will be
equaled. Mr.. Rinehart, the photograph
er, copyrighted all these pictures and
placed in a few art stores some hand
colored proofs which, Notwithstanding
their high price, sold at once, and these
Indian pictures have become the fad of
the year. The Chicago Great Western
has succeeded at large expense
in obtaining from Mr. Rinehart the
privilege of reproducing the best four
Of these pictures, Chiefs wolf Robe"
'Louison," Hollow Horn Bear" and
Hattie Tom" and have incorporated
them in an art calendar for 1900, which
is pronounced the most artistic produc-
ton yet attempted The heads are
6x8 inches one on sheet, wonderfully
reproduced in all their original colors,
and when framed make most striking
and effective pictures, particularly
suited for holiday gifts. Owing to the
expense but a very small edition has
been issued. They will be sent how
ever, while the supply lasts to any per-
son sending rs cents in stamps or silver

have good eye for distances. fol
straight lines and for harmony in
grouping, as well as fund of patience
putting up and taking down each
picture or set of pictures until the DO
sition, height and grouping are per-
fectly satisfactory. There are two
kinds of picture wire, one is gilt. the

heavy pictures should be hung with

yardstick or tape measure is indis-
pensable. as careful measuring will
lessen the labor and assure accuracy OF

that the bottom shall lie fiat and the
top be thrown forward slightly. The
manner in which the screw eyes are

CHINESE HISTORICAL METHODS

the st. Louis Republic. In this way
these celestial historians have an, OPP

the virtues and vices OF the various
rulers and the real significance OF the
events which take place during their
regime. They can write what they
please without fear OF censure. for they
know that their work will not he pub
lished as long as the reigning dynasty
lasts. This has been the rule for
more than 1000 years. The duty OF
these historians is to write plain Sc
rount OF all events that occur during
their tenure OF ONCE. At regular In
iervals their completed work is taken
from them and locked up in an iron
safe or vault. There IL remains until
the first member OF new dynasty as
bends the throne. II Is then given,
with all the other histories in thu
vault. to the court historian who Is
then living. and from the mass OF
documents he Is expected to prepare
a truthful history OF the dynasty which
hts just expired. The present dynasty
has been reigning since 1914 and
consequently. no court history has
been published since that time.
