One of the most useful novelties for the

indeed a combination of several different
things. 1t is made of flexible leather and
lined with kid or satin. SO as to be easily
folded. 1t is about ten inches long, folding
three times. and when closed is slightly
larger than the ordinary cardcase. First
there is place for cards, another for tick
cts and checks, each of which fastens down
closely with a flat clasp. Then comes a
small indexed book for addresses or memo-
randa, and under the inside cover of this a
snug little place for postage stamps. There
is no purse connected with it. the change
purse being worn usually on the chatelaine
or carried in the pocket. A silver pencil
completes the interior fittings, and when
folded there is in one corner tiny watch.

AN INDIANS GLASS WAGON.
The Osage Wanted a Swell Carriage
So He Bought a Hearse.
From the Kansas City Star.


The osages as people are the richest on
earth. From the interest on the money
which the United States government Dor
rowed from them as nation and from the
rental of their grass lands the Osages,
men, women and children, collect about
$50 each every three months. The Osages,
therefore, are very fond of large families,
and it is to the material interest of every
Indian to have as many children as pos
sible. In his case each new child does not
represent another mouth to feed, but an
other source of income. The father, on
pay day, collects from the government pay
master the money coming to his family,
and this often amounts to considerable
sum. ,
The Indian has never fully realized the
value of money-it comes too easily. Nheh
he gets his funds he goes around ana pays
his debts, for he is always given credlt py
the traders" and he settles his accounts
because he will shortly need credit again
until nay day comes around once more
With the money he has left over he buys
anything that takes his fancy, and some
times he makes remarkable and ludicrous
purchases.
he had accumulated riches beyond his most
avaricious dreams went to Coneyville, in
southern Kansas, one day, with his pockets
bullying with money. He shopped around in
the stores buying everything he fancied,
than his pony could carry. He was wander
ing along the street, wondering how he
would transport it to his home, when he
saw large black wagon with glass sides
standing in front of store He looked at
it wistfully for some time, examined the
horses and harness and wagged his head
in an appreciative way. The undertaken,
who had observed him, came out.
How much?" asked the Indian. The un-
dertaker, for a joke, named price. The
Indian went into his pocket, counted out
the money, mounted the box of the hearse
and drove away before the undertaken could
demonstrate. And now Mr.. Indian comes to
town in style. with his squaw beside him on
the seat and the inside of the hearse full of
very lively little papooses. who look out
through the glass sides of their strange car
riage. The hearse also does service when
the Indian comes to town with a load of
wheat. which looks very nice through the
glass sides. 1t is not every man. Indian or
white. who can haul his family and his
grain in wagon with transparent side
boards.
