DANGEROUS SPORT.
Throwing of Matches on Pavement to
Be Stepped On by Pedestrians.

81 was standing on Canal street the
other day." said an old citizen, "when
1 saw a couple of well-dressed hood
Iums engaged in a species Of sport
that should have earned them at least
a year apiece in the chain gang. They
were throwing parlor matches on the
pavement and laughing uproariously
at the startled leaps Of occasional Pc
destrians who stepped on the things
and caused miniature explosion. If

an stepping on one of the matches
and setting her light summer skirts
on fire made ny blood run cold. Such
things have happened before now and
have always resulted in horrible trag.
edies. The last incident Of the kind
l recall took place in Cuba and caused
the death of the wife of one of our
army officers. One should never
throw an unignited match in a place
where people pass. I know it is
common enough trick with thought

such wanton deviltry made me mad

young squaws have been placed upon
the auction block and knocked down to
the highest bidder. Oftentimes they
thus become the unwilling brides of
worthless husbands The barbarous
custom has drawn many white adven-
turers, attracted merely by pecuniary
gain, for many of the squaws have
headlight worth $1,000 or more. The
consideration for bride is usually

Parker, chief of Comanches, is a pro-
nounced polygamist, he being credited
with no less than eight wives purchased
at the auction mart Ten years ago the
young warrior became smitten with the
charms of Too-nocey, an unusually at
tractive and well-educated maiden.
The father strongly favored Parker'S
suit. The girls wishes were not con-
suited. She was commanded, however,

officiated as auctioneer Chief Few
Tails was Parker's closest rival. His
first bid when the auctioneer crieds
How much am ! bid for the pretty
squaw?" was so ponies. Parker raised
him so more. Few Tails promptly fol-
lowed with the offer of $50. Then they
began to raise each other by small num-
bers until Parker finally squelched his
rival by bidding 500 ponies, which was
more than he possessed and quite out of
Few Tails reach. Parker satisfied the
girls father that he would make good
the deficit and Too-nocey became his
first bride. He worked long and faith
fully to pay for his wife and was soon
made chief of his tribe, since when he
has been industriously adding to his
harem.
The Osages do not let a bride go on a
''stand-off." The consideration must be
forthcoming at once. The weddings of
this tribe are gay affairs. A number Of
bucks race for the brides pony and
maiden squaws compete in the same
way for her robe. During the festivities
the bride, elaborately gowned in a
white robe of buckskin covered With
silk and adorned with many ornamental
tions, including costly diamonds,
emerges from her wigwam. During the
race for her pony the brides mother
divests her of her beautiful wedding
garments, leaving her clad only in a
night-robe. Then the bridegroom runs
from his wigwam, throws his blanket
around her and carries her Off to his
happy home. No word is spoken
throughout the ceremony, After the
wedding the guests assemble in another
part of the town and feast on boiled
dog, fried dog, canned dog and dog
soup.

TRAFFIC IN WOMEN
Queer Relic of Barbarism Among

There is a queer relic Of barbarism ius

legalized traffic in human beings, the
pretty daughters Of the "noble red
men" For Indian fnaidens are often.
pretty and occasionally beautiful, all

They live in peace, but not together, as
each tribe has its allotment of land and.
trespassing is strictly forbidden.
Many of the Indians on these reserve
tions are wealthy. Their lands, which
are allotted to them in severalty, are
fertile and valuable and each head of a
household is usually possessed Of
focks and herds that render him indie
pendent of the rest of the world Yet
some OF these aborigines are not salts
fed with the products of their farms.
and ranches and not infrequently seek
to add to their incomes by selling their
daughters who have arrived at mar
riageabe age to the whites who may
be willing to form such alliances.
Various means have at times been
adopted to check this evil and to re-
serve to the red man not only his lands.
and cattle, but his women as we'll.
Some yearsago the legislature of the In
dian nation passed Law requiring that
a fee of $1,000 be paid by those desiring
to contract mixed marriage. But
there were plenty of white men on the.
border who were willing to pay that
amount for bride as long as there was
a certainty that she would bring to him
ten times that sum. And so for long
time past there has been maintained
disgraceful traffic in brides. Beautiful

ELK AND WOLF.
Strategy Displayed by Latter in Securing
Heifer from the Herd.

Heifer from the Herd.
We had just entered a range Of
sandhills, which characterize the Dis
nal river country, when We were at
tracted by the strange antics Of
bunch Of elk. They were COWS, calves
and spike bulls When we first saw
them they were huddled together in
round bunch and seemed milling"
about like cattle at roundup. AS
we stood looking at them they broke
into a run, going 100 yards or so, and
then stopped and knotted up again.
AT first we could not make out what
the matter was, but on going closerto
them saw that they were being har-
assed by a couple Of buffalo wolves.
The elk would bunch up with the
COWS and young bulls on the outside,
heads out, calves in the center, the
wolves circling round the outside and
trying to break up and scatter the
herd so they could single out calf.
The wolves charged again and
again, but for a long time the elk
stood firm, we lying on an adjacent
hill and watching the sport. AT last
the wolves withdrew and seemed to
give it up. AT this the elk broke into
a run again. As soon as their organi-
zation was broken the wolves returned
to the charge and this time succeeded
in cutting out a two-year-old heifer.
As soon as the beifer was separated
from the bunch her fate was sealed,
as the wolves kept between her and
the rest until they were well out Of
the way, and then closed with her.
One of the wolves seized her by the
ham, and in an instant she was down,
with hamstring severed. The other
wolf then sprang at the throat and
the jugular vein was cut as quickly as
it could be done with a knife.-Forest

In a Nut Shell.

The following is an editorial
taken from the'Corbin, p Pathfnder,,"
Republican newspaper, printed
in one of the Mountain counties Of
the Common wealth of Kentucky.
There is no question but that the
editor speaks by authority and
what he says may be taken to be the
intended policy of the Republicans
if the State is to be inflicted with a
Yerkes administration. The ar
ticle bears the following significant
head line "a few facts" and reads
as follows:
The mountain people, as rule,
are as law.abding, patriotic, in
telligent citizens as there are on
earth. Any statement to the con-
trary is lie pure and simple.
'"rhey don't believe in fighting
unless there is cause for fighting.
But when they do fight, they GER
tainly fight: there's no mistake
about that.
These people have been grossly
slandered and misrepresented by
the newspapers of the bluegrass;
the Goebelite speakers, led by that
old red-nosed political scalawag, Joe
Blackburn, have heaped abuse and
vituperation upon their heads.
They have been robbed of the
Governor they helped to elect, and
thieves who have overthrown popu-
lar government in Kentucky have
told us that hereafter we shall
have no voice in the government OF
this Commonwealth. We have seen
our neighbors and fellow citizens
dragged in irons from prison to
prison aud convicted for heinous
crime of which they are innocent
to satisfy the cravings of greedy
political gluttons.
"In November they intend to
elect John w. Yerkes Governor of
this commonwealth, any they in
tend to see him seated and retain
his seat. They propose to see that
the unjust persecution of their
neighbors stops and more, they pro-
pose to see that those noble men
who have been convicted by per-
jury, prejudice and d-n rascali-
ty are protected, if it takes every
drop of blood that courses through
their veins"
Do the intelligent law-abiding
people of Kentucky want to see
their State placed in the hands OF
such a gang of desperate outlaws?
If they do, all that is necessary is to
vote tor and elect Yerkes. .-Hender-
son Cleaner.
