COLORADO HUMANE SOCIETY.
The Centennial State and Montant the Only Ones Having a State
 Department of the Kind.

Denver (Col.) News.
 To the State of Colorado and it's Bureau
 of Child and Animal Protection belongs
 the distinction of having made not only
 the first official report of this character ever made by any similar department in any State in this country, but as well in any country. This by reason of the fact that Colorado is the pioneer in the crea- tion of a State department of this kind Throughout the entire country, with the single exception of the State of Montana. all humane work Is done through private initiative and association, supported by private donations.
 Few evAn of our own citizens realize the magnitude of the work done by this bu- reau. The State makes an annual appro- priation of 5000, and other sources of in come are the Charity Organization Socie- ty of Denver $1.S0O,. and private dona- tions, giving an aggregate revenue of about $5000 per year Yet, with this Him. ited income and the vast area to cover, the bureau last year cared for one-third more animals than the two private socie- ties. the only ones in New York City, and more than one-half as many children.
 Yet the New York societies expend an-
 nually the sum of ]270000. When 1t is stated that the real work of the Colorado
 Humane Society began with it's reorgani-
 zation in 1887. and that It's life covers the
 briel period of sixteen years, US accom- plishment can be better appreciated In addition to the children and animals cared for, 1t has, during the 'riod of it's existence, through it's own initiative and aid. been instrumental in securing the enactment of the following legislation:
 The law creating a State Bureau Of Child and Animal Protection. prohibiting child | insurance, against child labor the law creating a juvenile court prohibiting the l docking of horses and their impOrta tion | or use the law against cruelty to animals, | and providing for humane instruction in | the public schools, and number of l others.
 The bureau now has in preparation the first textbook ever prepared for use in schools on the subject of humane educa- tion This will soon be published. and will come into use in tho schools of the State. and 1t is hoped in other States. There have been many influences wlich have aided in the remarkable work

ANCIENT INDIAN RELICS.
Plates Allegedto be 1000 Years Old
 and @ Treaty.

x ShLOS 0A4C6O0SV NO SfOSO = SesNe
 and Treaty.
 Kansas City Journal.
 According to Charles Gibson, Indian Journalist of Eufaula. the two most sa- cred relics of the Creek or Muskogee tribes are in the keeping of the To-ka- par-chee clan. One of them Is the treaty made between the Indians and Great Britain in the time of George II. When a custodian of the relic is dying he ap- points his successor by will The Indians look upon this relic as next to brass or cooper plates that To-ka-par-chees own these plates are hard to describe. as they are kept In a very sacred vault where none are allowed to enter except the medicine man or some old chief. The history of these plates Is as follows: One old medicine man who had been noted for being the greatest among the Creeks. before dying, told some of the other med icine men that so many days after the day of his death, if they would meet him on the highest mountain peak-naming the mountain-he would bring them some thing very sacred, and 1t would strength en their medicine and add to their happi- ness The medicine men then appointed day and waited. When the last stick was thrown away each wended his way to the top of the mountain. They waited long and well. When the sun became low in the west a great snake came from the west and darkened the country around about the mountain. The medicine men were frightened, but stood their ground. Then came claps of thunder and flashes of lightning that almost blinded the old men. Then a dark cloud appeared, and all at once there appeared out of the dark cloud bundle, which was handed to the old men. The hands holding the bundle were all that Ncould be seen, and resembled the hands of the old medicine man who had died. As soon as the pack age containing the plates were delivered the cloud moved away and there was a clear sky The old men took their charge back to their square house and hid 1t until the time of their annual celebration or green corn dance, when the plates were introduced into their festivities. That Is some thousand years ago, and they are stiil in possession of the Creeks.
 The custodians of these plates are what are called the wild clan. There are a great many of these plates, and the larg- est ones have characters of some kind on them. They are exhibited only on state occasions, once a year Each one has a beautiful sound or ring, it is said. when they are used in the dance, making sweet music. After the dance they are taken out one to each man, and are secured very bright and placed away until the next year. It is said that fin the polish ing process the work hands are very cau- tious, as 1t is known that the least slip will result in a sure loss of the plate, as it is said the plates are supposed to be part turtle or fish. as they came to the Creeks through a cloud or mist and will dart here and there if let loose in the water, and will get away.

man. with the old inherent feudal in- stincts strong within him, accepts her subservience, and deems her an ideal wife accordingly, even though perchance she should fall short of many of the perfeo- tions of his re-matrimonial ideal wo- man.
 With a darker woman things matrs- monial present a totally different ae- pect.
 Her characteristics are averse to sub- mission, as a fair woman accepts the meaning of the world; and while realiz- ing the burden of her VOW to love, honor and obey" she also considers 1t binding upon the man to levy only such laws of obedience upon her as he himself will al- so observe.
 She resents the aspersions that women were merely created for decorative pur- poses within their husbands home, and | in many instances under the cramplng confines of domesticity the dark woman has discovered a latent capacity to storm the labor market and give free vent to the ambition which had been crushed dormant by the heredity of generations. When this happens woe and bitterness enter into the family camp; for the man. | fearing he and his home and creature comforts may be neglected starts a series ] of petty oppositions that crush out the sentiment and love of marriage.
 The onus of settling down and accept
 ing the humdrum routine of the average l domestic life finds scant favor with a brunette; her instincts are not domestic
 She can love, and with her the grand passion is passion that verify becomes part of her being; but the highest. holi- est love of the wide world over will not eradicate inherent characteristics. though for time it may cast tn into the background by the brilllance of it's nov city. And under the influence of that novelty the dark bride will make sem. blance of successful housekeeping.
