THIS INDIAN LOVED PERFUME
A Red Mans Appreciation of sweet
Scented Odors.


There is drug clerk near the Coliseum
who has not yet recovered from an ex-
perieLce he underwent when the sports
mems show was running in the building
One afternoon two Indians who dwelt in
their tepees on the edge of the miniature
tank and lent an air of picturesqueness
to the scene entered the drug store
Heap SMELL. said one of the red men
in cultural tones. pointing to the show
cases where the toilet articles were ar
ranged.
7 The drug clerk looked puzzled and his
visitors regarded him with stoical antici-
patton.
Heap SMELL said the Indian again.
The drug clerk reached into the case
and drew out a cake of scented toilet
soap. The Indian shifted it disdainfully,
first tearing off the highly colored wrap
placed his moccasin-covered foot upon it
in disgust
Heap SMELL Heap smell.. he said i'm
patiently. The clerks face suddenly
frightened. Reaching into a collection of
bottles ornamented with pictures of vio-
let's and roses and other botanical speci-
mems he drew one out. The Indian
shifted it ecstatically and then drew from
the pocket OF his buckskin garmens a
large American dollar. Without waiting
for his change he drew out the cork and
poured the contents of the bottle on his
person. His companion smiled approval
and the two went softly out, closing the
door gently behind them.
And they say the Indian isn't civil

Systems of Royal Succession.

Ntfoh the 81 James Gazette.)
The most general is that known as the
sale system, under which women are
completely excluded. This is the rule in
Belgium. Sweden, and Norway. Italy
Denmark. and Germany. Then there is
the German-Dutch system. under which
males In all degrees of relationship take
precedence of females. the throne passing
to the female line only in case of the
remote. This is the rule in Holland
from which the law takes its name
Russia, and some of the minor German
States The third system is our own
tEngllshl. under which females are eX-
Guided when there are males in the same
degree OF relationship, but take prece-
dence OF males whose degree of relation
snip Is not close as their own. Thus an
elder daughter of the ruling sovereign
gives way to all her younger trothers
and their issue, but takes precedence of
a male cousin or nephew. This system
IL the rule in Spain and Portugal. as well

This reads like fairy tale. but it in

one of our well-known metropolitan train

valuable horse, by Kilwarlin-orioe foaled
in 1894, winner of the Futurity of his year
and many other important events and
whose family figures show twelve English
Derby winners. All this just to show the
KIND of gentleman he is. Lakeland wished
to take him down to his Sheepshead sta
bles that night. and after talk with his
foreman, Frasch. Ogden was despatched
by road in the care of a coiOred stable
boy. to whom Lakeland gave IS as an in
ducement to take extra good care of the
horse.

wondered If he were going back to Mon

His feelings may be better ina gined than
described. He loves his horses as evil

Tray and other erratic animals which he
brought round to a proper state of mind.
He sat up all night. sending messengers
in all directions until dawn. and by that
time he was ready to take up the quest
himself.
1t was not the money that was worry
ing him, IL was the exposure of good
horse to the Indictment weather and what
the probable results might prove. Just
then came call from the telephone which
sent him flying down the boulevard at a
rapid gait. The police precinct wanted to
know If he had lost horse and what ne
was like. reporting that Ogden had been
found by an officer standing in the road,
with the colored boy drunk at his feet

done before and will again. bless them for

from the stone serpent; but, them, who
