The attention of the United States
government has just been called to,a
custom that Is still being
prscticed among, the Kiowa, Coma nche
and Apache Indians in Oklahoma ter
ritory. The Indians Of these three
tribes, while living under the msnage-
ment of an Indian agent, are compa ra-
lively civilized, and do, not go on the
war path, but work for their living al
farming. But they have no love in
their hearts for one Of their own peo-
PIE after that persons has passed his
or her age of usefulness. An aged
squaw, after she reaches the age of so
years, is sent into the fields and left
there TO die, unless some sympathetic
white person comes along and sends
the poor old woman TO the Indian
agency, where she may be taken care of
at the expense of the government, n
Travellers in the reservation may
hear the distressing cries of some de-
serted woman at most any time they
care TO hsten.-Buffalo Courier.

The head of fashionable millinery
business witnessed the Oaks this year,
where he also witnessed lady wearing
a hat which she had ordered ION APP
