There is cloud of dust down the

Then there is the sound of a bugla
and a thousand feminine tongues com.

the horses parade past the stand. In
a few moments the horses are lined
up at the barrier. Another moment
and the flag is dropped and the grand
stand shouts in one voice, ''They're

Then doth the eternal feminine
break forth. Women drag at the coat
sleeves of their escorts, climb upon
chairs, fight for a good position, guar.

push their way to the front of the
crowd as though there were only one
horse in the race and fifty cent bet
were a matter of life and death.
"Oh, dear! Oh, dear!" walls the
girl in the pink chiffon hat, clutching
at her escorts arm, "Daisy Green isn't
going to win; oh, she isn't going to,

Suddenly little dark horse bursts
through an opening in the bunch.

INDIAN FUNERAL RITES.

A typical Indian funeral took place
atFort Hall Indian agency, Idaho, re-
Gently, and all of the ancient usuages
and customs of the race were carried
out with dramatic effect.
After laying out the dead Indian in
handsome native costume, painting
one side of his face an olive green
and the other a bright orange; the
friends proceeded to collect the effects
of the deceased and divide them
among the mourners.
Then active preparations began for
the funeral proper, which was set for
the following day. Throughout the
night those who had been favored
with the personal effects of the dead
Indian howled and shrieked in hide
GUS fashion. Early in the morning
the body was carried to a convenient
hill. There it was met by a delega-
tion of mourners composed for the
most part of squaws, stripped to the
waist and with their legs barred to the
knees. AS soon as the procession Of
bodysbearers hove in sight the squaws
set up a low wailing cry. AS they
walled they cut their arms and legs
with knives, bits of stone, or glass;
causing the blood to flow freely. When
the flow from these wounds partly or
completely ceased they would tear the
gashes with their finger nails to bring
on renewed bleeding. This torture is
one of the prime evidences of their
sorrow. ~, ,.:7
For three hours, the. ceremony went
on. Then some friend Of the dead In
dian conceived the idea of q double
funeral as more fitting evidence Of
grief. The mourners at once proceed
ed to exhpme the body Of q little child

Karl Lcps, a German engineer, is
the inventor of a new and decidedly
original system Of submarine transpor-
tation which, if successfully carried
out. will forever put an end to the dis
agreeable features of crossing the Eng
lish channel and other bodies of water
separating countries between which
there is considerable traffic of passen-
gers.
The patent has been purchased by
Albert Krimmert, a banker and promo
ter in New York, and he is making a
vigorous propaganda for his plan of
connecting Dover and Calais by means
of a submarine boat line constructed
after the Leps system.
The boat which Leps has invented
is made of strong steel plates, about
two inches in thickness. It is about
$50 feet long, with an average diane
ter Of fifteen feet, and is shaped like
a cigar or a whale.

captain and contains all the nautical
