Wyndham has far more of responsible

Irish affairs than his nominal chief,

The most remarkable wedding that

took place recently in Philadelphia.

Economy was under discussion. A
woman knows how to economic much
better than a man does" she said, de-
cidedly.
The man looked skeptical. but said
he was willing to be convinced by
proofs.
Now, see here, when you have a bit
Of headache you rush out to the drug
store and get the clerk to give you n
powder" she said. The next time you
have a headache you do the same
thing. and you spend surprisingly
large amount of money in this way"
"Well, what would you have me dO?'
asked the man. "Stand the headache,

NO. my dear man. | certainly would
not. for when man makes up his
mind to stand his headache there's no
living in the same county with him.
But would have you 90 out and buy
dozen powders or so, and so have
them on hand. Buying them in large
quantity is much less expensive than
buying them in dribets.
Now another way in which man
Is wasteful. He does not look after
his laundry well. suddenly finds him
self without clean collars or q clean
shirt, and goes out and buys more. AS
matter of fact, he has plenty on
hand and does not need any more, but
through his carelessness he ties his
money up in shirts and collars when it
is positively necessary that he have a
few cravats.
"Then there's the matter of tobac-

"Oh, say, no fair" said the man.
You must cut that out. you know. A
man has to smoke
All right said the woman, cheer

treat and the other fellow does not
want to have you treat, but neither of
you has the courage to cut II out. So
you go on spending your money for
something you do not enjoy yourself,

Wilkins and His Dina.
In London's fair city merchant did

He had but one daughter an unkimmon

Her name it was Dina-just sixteen
years old
With a very large fortune in silver and
gold.
Singing too raj la loo raj la loo raj la

As Dina was a,waking in the garden one
day,
Her father came to her and this he did
say.
"Go dress yourself, Dina, in gorgeous
array,
For I've got you an husband both gallant
and gay"
"Oh, father, Oh. father! I've not made
up my mind,
And to marry just yet I'm not quite in
cined
And my very large fortune III gladly
give DER
If you'll let me live single just year or
two more"
"Go. go, boldest daughter" the parent
replied,
"If you won't consent to be this mans
BRIDE
I'll give your large fortune to the nearest
of kin.
And you shan't reap the benefit of one
single pin"
As Wilkins was a-walking In the garden
one day.
He spicd his dear Dina lying dead In the

And a cup of cold pison a-lying by her

And billet-doux to say that for Will

He called her his Dina, though she was

And swallowed the pison like lover so

Uncle Ned.
There was an old darkey and his name
was Uncle Ned,
And he died long ago, long ago!
He had no wool on the top Of his head.
In the place where the wool ought to
grow
Then lay down the shovel and the hoe,
Hang up the fiddle and the bow!
For there's no more work for poor old
He's gone where the good darkies 60.
His fingers were long as the cane in the
brake,
And he had no eyes for to see!
And he had no teeth for to eat the hoe
cake.
SO he had to let the hoe cake be.
Then lay down the shovel, etc.
One cold frosty morning old Ned died.
Massa's tears they fell like the rain;
For he knew when Ned was laid in the
ground.
He'd never see his like again,
Then lay down the shovel, etc.

 The elk teeth that form the the trim ming of these wonderful squaw dresses are as valuable as the seed pearls em- broidered upon the satin wedding gown 5of the pa1eface bride, readily selling at from $1 to $10 each. In the good old days elk teeth were not quite so diffi- cult to obtain, and it required a good handful to purchase pony; to-day, owing to the rapid extinction of the elk, one fine tooth alone represents the value of an ordinary Indian pony, Some of these costly worries are handed down as relics, and bear the mark of some great chief long since gone to the hap py hunting grounds Hence they are prized more highly than jewels or gold. Thus it is that the Kiowa belle's robe is so valuable. The number of elk teeth it sets the value. Many of them do not have elk teeth sewed across the sleeves, and only three or four rows upon the
 bodice. v 4-, These squaw dresses are seen in the most delicate tints, white of course, pre- dominating, though primrose yellow, sea green and cream are favorite colors

 The story of { The Pit,'"' as it has been developed by MT. Pollock is romantic; it's accessories are picturesque, its at mosphere is novel and exciting, and it's spirit tender and noble 7:
 The play is in four acts; the first in the foyer of the Auditorium; the second in JadWin's home, the third in the Pit, and the fourth shows Jadwin starting out to begin the world anew. It tells the story clearly and entirely, not by narrative, but by the display of char acters in their relation to each other and it's language. favored here and there with the ptraseology of the novel, is said to be consistently appropriate.
 The public gain in this production will be a renewal of interest in one of the most famous and popular novels in the language; the possession of a scen- ical pageant that will fill the eye with beauty and strongly move the imagina- ton; a touching exemplification of the great art of cutting; and once again the presentment of that vast subject, the relation of heart to heart under the do- minion of love in human society that more absorbs the attention, affects the character and controls the destiny of the human race than anything else that is beneath the sun.

 There is a very erroneouse im- pression abroad that the woman of the tepees care very little for dress, that they are dowdy, unclean drudges, smelling of rum. and wearing soiled blanket wound tightly about their hips in lieu of something better, and that their claims to personal beauty are very meager. Like most of the impression scattered broadcast by sensational space writers in regard to the much maligned red man this one is. ab- solutely false. It Is true the older and uglier squaws are the camp drudges to a certain extent, but as to the young maidens of the tepees that's another story! They are comedy, and they dress magnifcently on occasion. Their beauty is of that vivid, lithe-limbered, vigorous type found alone in the forest people. Among the Kiowa Indians are many exceedingly handsome young squaws, and as to their gala-day dress, no paleface queen of fashion wears costlier or more picturesque robes than does the untutored daughter of "poor To-" .,ts a,, % :

Kiowa woman as a typical example of the gorgeous "squaw dresses found among the better class of the blanket Indians. |, It is valued at $1,400, a conser- vative estimate, though its proud owner would not part with it for all the gold a paleface might be tempted to offer; first, because she is truly feminine, though a heather, and Is aware of the fact that it is vastly becoming, endow- ing her with a wild, romantic charm all her own; then, the robe is treasured heirloom handed down from mother to daughter through many generations. All the young women of her family have worn it as bridal robe, believing luck attended them thus attired. A famous "squaw dress" of this description that had been in one Cheyenne Indian family for 127 years and was ornamented with 1,024 elk teeth, served as the wedding dress of over forty Cheyenne squaws; but sad to tell, poverty compelled it's last redskinned owner to sell it to @ paleface curio dealer for $1,6O0!
 "And of what material is the marve- Ions dress made?" an incredulous pale face maidens asks, doubtingly, visions of rustling silk and old point and seed pearls fitting though her conventional brain. ''Buckskin!" is the startling answer. But such buckskin!-tanned and dressed as only an expert redskin can do it, by tedious and repeated scraDing with bits of bone or shell, a process handed down as well as the robe itself and rendering the buckskin as soft and pliant as the most seductive chamois skin.. But buckskin, though not easy to obtain, is not alone accoun- table for the high value put upon these squaw dresses. Like my lady's Paris gown. the secret Of it's costliness lies i'll trimming, which consists of row upon row of ivory elk teeth sewed across the front of the loose bodice of this pecu- liar one-price garment, as well as upon the flowing sleeves, which are merely an extension of the bodice from the neck. The skirt is painfully scant and IS profusely trimmed with buckskin
