Kiowas On: Qui yNe.

When the next new moon appears in

lutte the bright orb from every Kiowa
village in the Indian Territory. All
Kiowas are awaiting the event with
eager anxiety, for it is to be the be-
ginning of a wedding festival which
will last for three days and nights.
The contracting parties are Of royal
blood, the bride being the beautiful
Loralene, the richest heiress of the
Kiowas, and it is anticipated that no
means will be spared to make the festi-
val the greatest ever witnessed among
the tribes of the west.
For two or three years Wild Buffalo,
the groom, has pursued this pretty In
dian girl which he sought to make his
wife. He had many rivals and during
the days of his long courtship there
have been periods when it looked as
though he would fail.

LOralene was as cOquettish as she

mother named her Tena, which meant

are not familiar with the customs of
the Indians. The festivities will com.
mence with the rising of the sun and
last for three or four days and nights.
Wild Buffalo, mounted upon gayly
caparisoned horse, will dash into the
village, followed by dozen or more
young braves, friends of the BRIDE
groom. Crowds Of young men and
girls will greet them with shouts of de-
rision. They will tell him that while
he slept fortunate rival came and
carried the beautiful Loralene away
on white horse. Wild Buffalo will
affect great grief and distress. While
the young men are wailing and breath
Ing threats the girls will laugh at them
and call them "lazy lovers" An old
woman whispers a word into the ears
Of the sorrowing lover and points to-

the widest joy the young warriors set
out in pursuit of the stolen maiden.
After some hours have passed Wild
Buffalo will appear at full gallop
bearing his sweetheart in his arms.
Followed by long cavalcade of boys
and girls he will circle about the

would certainly marry the one who
should display the most grace and en-
durance. The infatuated young bucks
nearly danced themselves into the
realms of the happy hunting grounds.
The medicine man, who went to put an
end to the strange contest after it had
lasted three days and nights, found
that only two of the rival lovers were
able to stand on their feet. Wild Buff
falo and Three Killer were still
chanting praises of the maiden as
they circled about her, though they
were barely able to raise their feet out
of the dust, and their words of love
were uttered in hoarse whispers. The
hayward belle escaped matrimony in
this instance owing to the fact that she
could not marry both Of the braves
who were pursuing her when the medi-
cine man interfered.
This was, however the last of the
many contests she witnessed among
her suitors, for shortly after her rela-
tives held council in which they de-
cided that she should marry Wild Buff
falo, and began to make preparations
for a great wedding feast. Wild Buff

likes to associate with white people

CHILDHOOD OF GREAT MEN.

Their Memories Strong In Things They
We're Interested In.
In statistical investigation of the
early life of fifty great men of the
present century it was found that
while they are absent-minded, general
ly speaking their memories were very
strong in the things they are inter-
ested in. In childhood they seem to
be more imaginative than average
children. 1t is generally said that
great man owes his success to his
mothers influence, but there are many
exceptions. They were Influenced by
some one person, and the mothers
place was often supplied by that of an
aunt or relative. The child born of
parents in the prime of physical life
probably has the better chance of
greatness, for the average age of the
fathers when the great man-child was
born was about 38. and that of the
mothers 30. The average number of
children in families was six. Eleven of
the great men were only sons, and six
teen youngest sons; that is, in all over
so per cent. If it Is important to study
the criminal to find causes of crime
and thereby know best how to prevent
or lessen it, it is perhaps more needful
to study great men in order to learn
those conditions and characteristics
which make them great-Everybody's

TELEPHONES ON FARMS.

Social and Business Life Of Rural Com.
munities Changing.
The telephone is transforming the
social and business life Of many rural
communities of the United States. In
no other branch of activity is the spirit
of expansion more manifest. Country
folks like the instrument because it
brings them into novel relationship
with the rest of the world. City peo-
pie who make periodical visits into the
country are sorry to see the innova-
ton, because it takes away something
of the charm Of isolation when they
have grown weary Of the rush and
fever of urban life. In some country
communities the dream of Edward Bel
lamy is being partially realized. People
sit in their homes, miles from any
church, and listen to the sermon of
their pastor over the wire. The most
elaborate systems of country telephone
connection are found in the thickly
populated Eastern states. Where the
houses are close together the cost Of
establishing and maintaining system
is proportionately cheaper for the COM
pan1es establishing them, hence they
first seek out such places to do BUSH
ness. Massachusetts, is, perhaps the
best field for profitable investment in
this line. In that state, especially in
communities where the rural popula-
ton is mostly well-to-do, the use of
the telephone by farmers is becoming
we'll nigh universal. In the more
sparsely inhabited western states the
telephone people have rarely ventured
beyond the wayside villages in the in
PRODUCTION of the phone. That is es-
pecially true of the central and SOUTH
ern divisions of Illinois, but it is pre-
dicted by observant men that, before
the end of another decade, the rich
farming communities of Illinois will
all be in full touch with the outside
world through the medium of the
telephone Chicago Record Herald.

Loralene's father was one Of the
shrewdest Indians that ever lived. His
tribal name was Silver Hand, so called
because he always had plenty of mon
ey. A few years before his death Sill
yer Hand placed his daughter, Lora-
lene, in school in Arkansas City that
she might become educated as the
white girls, and when he died he left
a handsome bank account to her credit.
The Indian girl would not return to
school after the death Of her father,
but was bent on having good time.
During the great autumnal hunt of
the Kiowas last year the young
braves of the tribe were made to I'M
derstand that Loralene intended to
accompany the expedition for the pur-
pose of selecting husband from
among the youths who displayed the
greatest courage and endurance in the
chase. Old warriors say that they
never before witnessed a more sue
cessful hunt. Many say that 1t was
during this time that she discovered
she was better pleased with Wild Buff
falo's attentions than others who
sought her hand.

At the geological gardens large

the cockroach instantly dropped stone
dead. It did not even move it's anten-

swallow it's victim, and the narrator
