The Indian girls of the Chick

The evils arising from the mar
riages of white men with Indian
girls have become notorious.
Usually the unions were sought
by whites of worthless character,
merely in order that they might
get possession of the valuable
lands allotted to the brides In
view OF this a law was enacted by
the Indian Legislature establishing
the marriage fee in such cases at
$1,000. AS a remedial measure
much was expected of the law. 1t

Ardmore, I. T., recently some

The dollhouse is stocked with the rarest
of plants. and is one of the points OF
interest which always attracts visitors.
The stable wherein is kept the famous
chariot in which Washington rode is
another attraction for the excursion
lists, and although the coach is fast
dropping into state of dilapidation,
and is so shaky that no one is allowed
to touch it. it remains point of great
interest nevertheless. Down near the

OF the river Potomac tn estate is To-
Gated. It rests on the highest part of
the billy territory which characterizes
the vicinity, and the mansion with its
barns and surrounding buildings is
half hidden from the gaze of river pill
grims by stately trees which have
stood there scores upon scores of
years. Closely trimmed lawns and
carefully pruned shrubbery give an
added touch of beauty to the environ

snug-clipped hedges which surround
the court at the rear Of the house re-

Mount Vernon is an imposing relic
of the century past: a reminder of the
days when colonial architecture was at
its height. Eight tall pillars guard the
broad piazza at the front of the house,
