An Indian Bridal Pair.

"Once saw pretty thing, a young
bride of the KickaI oos, on q sort OF
wedding trip. She was tall and slight
and-so closely do the members OF
tribe resemble one another - she
looked like the twin sister of her
Young husband. At first they were
accompanied by stout old chief, but
he left after circus day. 1t is odd to
see an Indian chief patronize the pea
nut and lemonade stands, and sit un-
moved at the performance, and yet
stand enthralled before the cages OF
animals unknown on his native prairles.
The bride and bridegroom spent three
or four days in the town wandering
about as unconsciously as Adam and
Eve in the Garden. The man was al
ready masterful and protecting, the
girl shy and subservient. Day after
dav they walked hand in hand, look
ing at everything, people. shops, cat
tie, but never speaking to any one,
never even to each other, yet deeply
content in the consciousness OF COM
panionship. They were living ex-
ample of the happiness of simplicity,
and, while they stayed in the hustling
town, made many a civilized man and
woman think of how far their own
conduct as wives and husbands fell
short of the standard of this uncon-
scious Indian pair. "-Ainslee's
