FAMOUS INDIAN.
EPISODES IN THE CAREER OF
CHIEF JONAS WOLF.
The Father of the Chichasaws - How
He Cured Lazy white Mans Love
Won His Sons Tooth on n n Elec-
tiOn bet.
Omaha letter.

tOnd0d Letter.
Jonas Wolf, chief of the Chickasaws,
who died short time since, was re-
garded by President Lincoln, who
knew him well, as the ablest Indian OF
his day. For many years he was a
delegate from his tribe to Washington,
and there frequently visited Lincoln.
He was not vain, but had amazing
confidence in himself, and, on one occa-
sion, after visiting the union army and
witnessing a serious reverse, offered
his services as a general to the presi-
dent, saying: Jonas Wolf is better
general, Mr.. President than any man
you have got over there with your
army" Notwithstanding his re-
gard for him, Lincoln could
not refrain from indulging In
hearty laugh at the Indian S
frankness The Chickssaws had great
faith in him. He was governor OF the
tribe for years, and so great was his
popularity that he was called father
of his people," When he died the en-
tire nation went into mourning. HIS
career was full of interesting episodes,
which we'll illustrate his character.
While Wolf encouraged the inter-
marriage of his people with industrl-
GUS white men, he entertained pro-
nounced contempt for the lazy adven-
turers who sought to mix and mingie
their blood with his people merely for
the purpose of leading vagrant lives.
Upon one occasion white man, VINO
thought he had discovered an easy way
to maintain existence and at the same
time step into an influential position
through a matrimonial alliance, asked
Jonas for permit to settle in the ter
ritory, avowing his intention to honor
a certain Indian maiden with an offer
of marriage. The shrewd old Chicka-
saw invited him to dinner, promising
to consider his request later on. The
chiefs large family assembled about
an old dry goods box under the shade
of tree and their white guests atten-
ton was directed to the skeleton head
of an OK, which one of the girls kicked
toward him, giving him to understand
that he was expected to utilize 1t for
seat while engaged in appeasing his
appetite. Stranger" said the chief,
with that stold Indifference perfectly
natural with an Indian, hold your tin
plate over this way and let me cut you
slice of this dog"
Dog! exclaimed the amazed candi-
date for Chickasaw citizenship. Eyes,
very good dog, heap fat; he so ole,
long time sick; las night him heap
die nelly dead. Jes morn squaw cook
him. Injun heap like dog. White man

wives, for often, while asserting most
loudly that they are right, they are
frequently conscious that they are
wrong. Given little time and lit
tie silence they will often show in
actions-rarely in words--that they
have been mistaken. A man expects
his wife to be better than he. No mat
ter how little religion man may have
himself, his ideal wife Is always
woman with the purity of soul that
only a Christian can have; and to
good man it is usually part Of his re-
ligion to believe that his wife is NOR
ally higher and nobler than himself.
Altogether, too few wives realize that
novelty and variety is as attractive to
a man after marriage as before. The
SAME gown evening after evening,
perhaps the same couture year in and
year out, may not exactly pail upon
the taste of a devoted husband, but he
soon ceases to look at his wife with
the same interest as heretofore. After
while she will miss the fond little
compliments that are so pleasant to
receive, and one of the most potent Of
her womanly weapons grows rusty
from disuse. A wife's position in the
estimation of her husband is always
what she is, not what she claims to- be.

Lady Arnold, the wife Of Sir Edwin
Arnold, is the only Japanese woman
who possesses an English title. She
was born in Sendai, Japan, November
81, 1866. and her maiden name, Kuro-
kawa Tama, has the poetic significance
of "jewel of the dark river" A jewel
Lady Arnold certainly is, and she has
already won her way into the hearts
of many of the veteran writer's old
friends and admirers. She is devoted
to her husband and not only ministers
in every possible way to his comfort,
but her tact and cleverness enable her
to save him many Of the little worries
and annoyances which are the fate OF
celebrities, and also to help him con-
siderably with his correspondence.
Lady Arnold is extremely we'll edu-
Gated. and is far more familiar with
English literature than Is the average
western girl. Perhaps she sometimes
thinks longingly of the bright sky and
the sunshine of Sendai where she
spent her happy girlhood, but If she
does she certainly makes the best OF
the English climate and it's cold and
foggy winters, and appears to be per-
fectIy happy in her western home. Her
husbands country is her country and
she has become, even in her dress,
quite an Englishwoman.

Let There Be Light.

Light and sunshine are good aedi-
cines. They not only help to cure. but
they assist in preventing. 1t is strange,
therefore, that so many in the world
should be content to do without either.
We have windows and doors in our
houses, but there are many of us who
keep both closed as much as possible.
The sunshine fades the carpets and the
open windows let in dust which spells
the furniture. That Is what some
careful housewives say. There may
be something in this, but not much.
A faded carpet is much more desirable
than faded cheek, and dust is not the
worst thing that comes to us. Why,
the preachers tell us we are made OF
dust, and to that condition we are sure
to return. So why be afraid of it? 1t
can be swept out and brushed out. But
there is only one way to get air into
the house and that is by not being
afraid of the dust or of the sun. we
pity with all our hearts, the tenement
house dwelling whose rooms open into
sunless shafts. And yet there are
many of us who make our homes as
nearly like those ill-ventilated tene-
ments as possible. We have open
spaces on each side. The sun can
touch our windows in the morning
and in the evening, but we shut 1t out
so as to look fresh and keep clean. No
greater mistake in domestic economy
was ever made.

A good rule TO remember wheS one
has costly rings and the habit Of TAX
ing them off when the hands are
washed, which, by the way, should al
ways be done IL one wishes to take the
proper care of the stones, is always
to place them between the lips, says
a writer in the Criterion. II the habit
is once formed it becomes second ma
ture, and prevents adding another
item to the column Of loss, relating to-
rings left in hotels, strange dressing
rooms and other places. Said woman
who has a magnificent collection OF
rings, and who has wisely exercised
this habit since it's inception: Il
have never lost one or mtslaid 1t, and,
what is just as important, have never
been through all tire worrying anxiety
of believing / had lost some one or
all of them.'' The woman whose nm
gers are clothed with fiashy brilliants
up to the joint may demonstrate that
she had no room between her ruby
lips. in which case there are two rem
edies. one, to enlarge the mouth, the
other, to reduce the number OF rings
to that proportion which marks ths
woman of taste.

Did you ever stop to think, asks an

of the blessings of modern advance
ment, and one of the privileges, and,
we may say, attainments of clviliza-
ton. Even in the last century a great
step has been taken in regard to clean
Illness, and women have found out that
pure soap and water, and the free en-
ployment of them. have proved the
greatest aids to beauty In the days
when powdered hair and the accom-
paniment of patches and powder, it
can only be imagined what strenuous
efforts our great -grandmothers
must have made in order to obtain
absolute cleanliness in the face of
fashion. A writer with whom we are
all familiar once termed the beauties
OF his time "slatterns." This we be-
lieve to be libel. and we are inclined
to pronounce that gentleman unwor-
thy the name Of gentleman, since
probably out Of spite because he was
not held up to alteration by those very
"slatterns," who were, Of course, the
bellies, as he thought he deserved. But
truth to tell, the athletic, we'll

of today is far and away ahead of
her at-great-grandmothe because
of her healthful exercise, her out-of
door life. and-her free use of. not
cosmetics, but good complexion soap

the executioners found some ebnsola-

man confessed to the murder when he

father. Nothing more was said Of this
matter until after election, and the re-
suit had been positively determined.
Jonas had not forgotten the little bet,
and he undoubtedly concluded to
profit by the opportunity to teach his
son lesson. Aiming himself with =
pair of forceps, borrowed flom dem
fist, he suddenly appeared before his
son and gently reminded him of their
their little bet. The youth tried hard
to squirm out of the affair by pleading
that he was not in earnest But

slowly drawing pair of steel tooth
pullers from his pocket, land l want

The young Indian knew that further
protest would be of no avail, and he
sat down and opened his mouth. Chief
Jonas fastened the forceps upon
good, sound molar, and jerked 1T out
Of his sons jaw. Shaking the tooth
in the boys face, he said:
"Now learn to be little more eau
tious about making bets. Always
think of this tooth before you bet
or contract debt"
Corporation agents, railroad men,
boomers of towns, land sharks and
cattle syndicates all learned in the
course of time that Jonas Wolf, though
a full-blood Indian, was equal to the
task Of guarding and protecting the
rights and privileges of his people. He
could neither be deceived, cajoled, nor
bribed into doing anything inimical to
the best interests of the Chickasaw ma
ton.
Other tribes were plundered of their
lands and bankrupted by boomers,
but when those who sought to defraud
the Indians and make them paupers
and nomads presented their schemes
to the Chickasaws they encountered
insurmountable opposition in the per-
son OF full-blood chief whose patriot
ism, integrity and diplomatic skill saw
ed his people and their lands. He
saw further ahead than others who
were better educated, and TO his good

naked fingers into a dish and drew out
a long string of dripping flesh, which
bore a striking resemblance to sec

length. The candidate for Chickasaw
favors had seen enough, and, hurried
ly rising from his seat, he disappeared
with very little ceremony.
Many years ago, when this famous
old chief was acting as judge of one
of the territorial courts, he presided at
the trial of half-breed, who was
charged with the murder of his wife.
The testimony plainly and conclusive
ly convicted the accused man of the
crime, but to the amazement of the
court and the people who had collect
ed in the court room, the jury brought
in a verdict Of not guilty.

Several Of the Jurors nodded, and
the foreman began to mutter some
thing about circumstances and insani-

raised up and shaking his fist at the
trembling jurors, shouted:
"You have been bribed! Your
verdict is lie! 1t is not good ver-
dict! You ought to be hung! Mr..
Sheriff, bring me a lariat."
Few Of the Indians anticipated the
intentions of the court, but they were
not kept long In suspense. When the
sheriff returned. the judge descended
from the bench and taking the coil Of
rope from his hands, lie quickly placed

latest cure, and quite the simplest one

1t is done in this way: Take half q

morning rub the face well with dry
towel, then dip your sponge in the
parsley water, and pass it over your

two weeks If you have persevered in
the simple treatment, you will be re-
