How Bucks aud Squaws Went Against
Fringe and Bananas.
Arkansas City, Kan, is quite trad
ing point for the Indians from the
territory, One day number OF
bucks and sQuaws rode into town
single file, tied their ponies in
bunch and started out to spend their
last allowance from Uncle Sam.
The first place they came to was a
furniture store, the owner OF which
had CHANGED to display lot OF old
fashioned, bright-colored ball fringe
in the window. They gave few sig
nificant grunts, walked in and pur-
chased the entire stock, proceeding
then and there to bedeck themselves.
Those that wore the big gray felt
hats pinned a band Of the fringe
around the brim, with the balls dang
ling; some made necklaces and brace
lets of it and others used it for belts,
while all that was left they looped
Realistically over their red blankets.
There were broad grfns OF satisfac'
ton on their faces, when suddenly
the leader said, Eat and on they
strobe in search Of food.
One squaw got a big sack full OF
bananas and, calmly seating herself
in the middle of the pavement In the
busiest part of the town, began to de-
your them. This was too much fOr

Immediately dared the bravest OF
their number to steal or beg a bana'
