formed by cipher telegram that a serious
state of affairs exists in the northern por-
ton of Assiniboia and Alberta, on the
Saskatchewan. The Indians of the north
districts, principally the Crees, it appears,
have been taking great interest In the
South African war and have been most
anxious to get every scrap Of news con-
corning It, At first their anxiety to get
the news seemed to be merely that or
members of a fighting race, who took an
interest In any trouble anywhere, but
withing the past fortnight affairs have
taken on dangerous aspect
White men, adventurers of a most unde-
sirable type, have been telling the Crees
that the British government Is doing
exactly what the Indians believe the Can
adam government did in 1SS5-that is, at
tempting to steal from the Beers the
lands upon which their fathers lived, and
which belonged to them just as much as
in the belief Of the Cree braves Of a
decade and a half ago the whole North
west belonged to the red men.
The Indian agents and the mounted po-
lice have found the Crees to be excited
by these tales, and in some instances the
agents have gone to the trouble of trying
to counteract the reports by getting the
aborigines together.

Germany has addressed second protest
to Great Britain urgently requesting the
release Of the German steamer Bundles

guarantees from Great Britain against
a recurrence Of such evident wrongful

AMERICAN SADDLES.
They Are Shipped to All Parts of thu
World Mt the Present Time.


World at the Present Time.
The American saddle has now pene
trated to all lands as thoroughly as the
American wheel, locomotive or type
writer. One can drop into almost any
prominent local saddle makers show
rooms, especially the wholesale dealers,
and find orders going to distant parts Of
the globe, says the New York Times.
During the past year or so there has
been 8 great change and wonderful
developments in American saddles. The
black saddle Is a thing Of the past 1t
is only a question of probably few
months until the fair leather saddle
will be adopted by the army. 1t has al
ready been adopted by the national
guards in all states, and the guardsmen
have found it SO superior to the
old black saddle that, like the tan shoe,
1t has come to stay. 1t is not only
more durable, but looks better when
new and improves in appearance with
age. 1t needs no polishing, as the
black saddle constantly required, and
for summer campaigning 1t is much
cooler both for the horse and the rider.
The civilian rider was the first to dis
cover the superior merits Of the fair
leather saddle, and, consequently, it is
made for him more extensively than
for the military rider. Some Of the up
-to-date park saddles shown in the local
salesrooms are truly works Of art COM
pared to the cumbersome, ill-fltting
saddles Of ten years ago. PigSkn Is
the material used in the finest grades of
fair leather saddles, and, strange to
say, while the American saddle manu-
facturers are turning out the best pig
skin saddles in the world, they are COM
PEELED as yet to use imported leather.
They all say that the American tanned
pigskin is not up to the mark, and
that there is room for the tanners Of
this country to get into this field with
large profits If they can only turn out
leather that will hold up to the i'm
ported pig.
The trees which go into the American
saddle are acknowledged to be better
than the trees of any other country,
and the treemakers are doing large
export business as well as controlling
the local market entirely. They have
the art Of saddle-tree making down to
the point that any horse or paay can
easily be fitted unless he Is abnormally
formed. @
Saddlers do not slap any kind of a.
tree on a horse and fill up the Hitting
places with thick blankets, as formerly
that horse is fitted comfortably, and
one thin saddle cloth Is all that Is nee
essary between the saddle and the ami
NAL. There is no need Of sore backs
any more. The rider and the horse can
both be comfortable on the longest
Journey.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-01-14

Most of the aristocratic and titled young
men who are getting ready to go to
South Africa are having strange devices
| put upon their arms, chests and legs,
| and mere civilians follow the example.
A bishop with big cross crushing a
dragon imprinted upon his manly form,
and surgeon decorated with a ''blue
print" of a Roentgen ray apparatus are
|. peaceful variants of the prevailing MILL
tary fever.
But the typical tattooing Is emblematio
Of love and war, parting and sorrow and
hope. 1t is the wish Of the gallant knight
to carry with him some indelibe reminder
of his sweetheart.
The usual decoration Is picture of the
young officers best girl, sometimes in
the middle of a spiders web, sometimes
not.
One guardsman, who bears a title
known the world over, has had two por-
traits done, one on each arm. Another
Is decorated with shrapnel shell, whilA
a third bears a complete representation Id
vivid tints Of the guards colors and
motto.
Sometimes the tattooer ia called upon to
reproduce in facsimile on some soldiers
brawny arm sentence written by
woman's hand, or perhaps her name and
the date of a betrothal.
However much the unthinking may re.
joice In the tattooing craze as evidence
of manly martial valor, there are those
who shake their heads at 1t as an evil
dence of abnormality in the young aria4
tocrats.
Tattooing has been in the past mainly
confined TO men of little education ana
very largely to men OF the sea, but Or
late years there has been a curious
growth Of the fad among the wealthy.
1t Is not SO very long ago that ali
Britain was tremendously indignant ct
the discovery that an old sailor In tie
navy had tattooed one of the sons of thu
Prince of Wales while the lad was on &
! cruise as petty officer.
