INDIAN SIGN TALK.

How the Red Men Communicates
With Each Other On the Plains.
The traveller on the plains In the early
days soon learned the significance Of
the spires OF smoke that he sometimes
saw rising from a distant ridge or hill
and that In turn he might see answered
from a different direction. 1t was the
signal talk Of the Indians across miles
Of Intervening ground-a signal used
In rallying the warriors for an attack
or warning them for n retreat when
that seemed advisable.
The Indian had a way of sending up
the smoke in rings or puffs, knowing
that such a smoke column would at
once be noticed and understood as a
signal and not taken for the smoke Of
some campfire. He made the rings by
covering his little fire with his blanket
for q moment, then suddenly removing
the blanket and allowing the smoke to
ascend, when he instantly covered the
Are again. The column Of ascending
smoke rings said to every Indian with
In a circle Of perhaps 20 or 80 miles:
Look out There Is an enemy near"
Three smokes built close together
meant Danger" One smoke merely
meant Attention" Two smokes meant
Camp at this place" Travel the plains.
and the usefulness Of this long distance
telephone will quickly become appar-
ent
Sometimes at night the settler or
traveller saw fiery lines crossing the
sky, shooting up and falling, perhaps
taking q direction diagonal to the line
of vision. He might guess that these
were the signals of the Indians, but
unless he were an old timer he might
not be able TO interpret the signals.
The old timer and the squaw man knew
that one fire arrow ian arrow prepared
by treating the head of the shaft with
gunpowder and fine bark meant the
same as the column of smoke puffs-
viz, IAN enemy is near" Two fire ar
rows meant Danger" Three arrows
said imperatively. This danger is
great" Several arrows said, "The en-.
envy are too many for u.s." Two ar.
rows shot up into the air at once
meant. I'VE shall attack" Three Mt

row shot OF in a diagonal direction
said as plainly rs pointing a finger.

MRS. F1sKE's EXPERIENCE.
Surprised at Difference in Conditions
Abroad.

One of the strongest Impressions
brought back from abroad by Mrs FisAe
who will be in Topeka in January, was
the striking difference between Italy
and Switzerland in the matter of pow
erty and mendicancy. The railway that
runs through the ST. Gothard tunnel
takes one from. Italy, where importuni-
ty is endless, to Switzerland, where it is
practically unknown. An illustration
was furnished to Mrs. F'iske in the loss
in Switzerland, just before her depar-
ture for Italy on her return, of her hand
bag containing a purse She informed
Swiss official of the loss The rector of
the English church of the town being
the only resident that could speak Eng
fish, acted as interpreter. It was prom
ised that the lost article would be found
and forwarded to Mrs. Fiske to an Ital-
ian address left by her. Sure enough,
she had hardly arrived at the destina-
ton in Italy before the lost bag and
purse, with contents intact, were re-
turned to her. Hereupon Mrs. Fiske
wrote to the English clergyman who had
kindly acted as interpreter for her to
arrange for giving a reward to the
finder.
A reply came back that the govern
ment attended to such matters, giving
to a. finder 10 per cent in value of the
article found Mrs Fiske had stated the
value of her lost property, and thus the
matter had been attended to. Wishing
to show her appreciation of the kind
ness OF the clergyman, Mrs. Fiske again
wrote to him, enclosing a sum ''for the
poor of his parish A reply came to
this to the effect that there not only
were no poor in the clergyman's parish,
but also that there were no paupers in
Switzerland. Upon Mrs. Fiske's wish,
however, the sum was set apart by the
clergyman to a church fund which he
had suggested as deserving. Travellers
in Switzerland no doubt have noted the
absence of beggars and appeals for
charity in that country, but it is not
probable that many foreigners, though
familiar with other aspects of that
country, are aware that it is free even
from the institutions of pauperism so
common in other lands

HAMLET THAT is NEW.

Alan Dale says of the Sothern-H Harmed
production Of Hamlet about which all
the theatrical. world is talking:
Somebody has described Hamlet not
as a play but as hoop. through which
every eminent actor was bound to jump.
Some. irresistible magnetism impels him
toward the hoop, and through it he
splurges. to alight-no matter where.
Young Mr. E H. Sothern, a pleasant,
foreefui. intelligent. studious and ania-
bic actor, went through the hoop last
night for the first time at the Garden
theater. A host of people who have
ceased to care for the play, but who
are vastly 'enamoured of the actor, as
sembled to witness the operation, and
cheer up. Mr.. Sothern in his hour of
need.

spirit OF Shakespeare is not SO very keen

can afford to disregard the sugar coating

Sothern's Hamlet to my mind was a
very well-bred, nicely behaved, seemly
and agreeable young prince, who had
allowed himself to run down." and who
had grown neurasthenic. Neurasthenia,
they say,is a nineteenth century malady,
but SOtheTn's Hamlet was distinctly
nineteenth century Hamlet-a coy, gen
tie and occasionally declamatory per-
SON enjoying bad health. The make
up was that of physical distress
SOthern is so extremely intelligent that
he did the very best he could to give a
consistent Hamlet But he was never
impressive. His rawlings entertained

the older Hamlets used to give you
The idea of mental arrangement was
systematically carried out by a dozen
little tricks OF business that were clever

never able to forget that this was Lord
Chumley's idea Of Hamlet
That Mr. Sothern gave a good per-

doubt That he proved his ability to
shelve lighter work without any very
disastrous result nobody will deny. But
that this new Hamlet was worth while

There were none of the light touches that

fnsistent depression. The result was that
you watched him interestedly. You were
