poor soul good 10 print it, why not print
II: Can any editor do as much for MS
friend and subscriber in the same amount
I of space? Ism there danger OF making
the period OF isolation and sorrow IN
some bereaved soul more miserable still
/ by denying him or her this little solace
/ in the sentimental expression of thanks?
The desire for publication is weak. it is
true, but SO is the wooden torch on the
! hearse.
/ Geary Bulletin: 1t may not be known
/ to many OF our readers what an artistic
work is done by the Indians in our
midst Centuries ago, little pieces Of
/ shell were perforated and strung to-
! gether. This was the original Indian
| bead work. About 200 years ago, manu-
/ featured beads were introduced. The
| beads in common use by Indians are i'm
ported from Italy, and sold to the In
dams by various dealers. Much Indian
bead work possesses considerable artistic
value: but for sale among white people
/ its value IS in many cases spoiled by
| the inferior material that the Indians use.
Some OF the missionaries among them
| have conceived the idea that by furnish
ing them with better material these IN
dian women could make much more sala-
| BILE articles. Rev. w. G. Roe, OF Colony.
Oklahoma. has sufficiently demonstrated
| that this can be done. At Bridgeport, al
1 the Indian Mission under Rev. ID. A
| Sanford, the same work is now carried
on. Better material is furnished and
| a large variety Of useful and fancy arti-
1 cles are now manufactured, and are find
| ing ready sale. Some are sent to the
| larger eastern cities, Boston, New York,
and Philadelphia, and some 70 San Fran
cisco, and some are placed IN stores In
carious towns in Oklahoma. Coin purses,
napkin rings. chatalaine bags, ladies'
belts. lamp mats, as well as moccasins,
are made in bead work by the Chey-
enne and Arapahoe Indian women. IL
should be noted that neither needle or
thread are used. The holes are made
with an anvil The sinew serves as both
/ needle and thread, much after the man
ner of the shoemaker.
