RIchestInd,nns In the Country.

The richest Indians in the country and
the ones who are in proportion to their
advantages the least progressive. are the
Osages ,765 of whom live on a reseTva-
ton OF 400. 600 acres in Oklahoma So
much land have these Indians sold from
their former extensive domain that each
man, woman. and child now receives an
annual income OF 5000. II Is little won
der that with this aid to laziness the
Osages make little effort to help them
selves. II costs little to live on the
plains, and when a family Of ten can draw
81. 600 for lying idle II ig apt to do so.
Incidentally. as each new member of n
family adds $500 year to its income IL
is not surprising that the tribe is on the
increase. Though the lands are rich the
Indians do not generally farm them, but
many red men hire whites to farm for
them.

"A Good Beginning Makes a
Bad Ending"

That saying seems to have been born
of the supe, stition deep rooted i'm hu-
manity. IT is akin to that other saying
He laughs oest who laughs last" Per
haps in these and similar sayings there
is a survival of the old pagan belief
that a display of happiness was likely to
incur the envy of the gods and to draw
down the visitation of the malice which
is twin to envy.
1t would be a ridiculous proposition
to affirm that bad is the necessary out
come of good. But just as many a day
which begins with cloudless sky ends
in storm, so many an event in life which
promises only happiness ends in disap-
pointment and misery.
This is very true of marriage. The
young wife goes heart and soul into
