of the luxuries of civilization. In this
instance also, the chief violates the GUS
toms of his people, who not only ban
ish from sight and memory every re-
hinder of their dead, but object Sc
riously to dwellings built of timber.
In short, they utterly refuse to live
in the neat little two-roomed houses
built for them by the government. and
prefer their white-topped canvas te-
PEGS. have seen numbers of these
little red-painted government houses
standing empty and neglected around
Fort Sill, slowly falling to the ground,
while near by group of tepees doomed
up against the rugged background of
mountain. The picturesque Wichita
mountains engirdle the Comanche, al
lotments, and no more beautiful re-
eion can be seen in all Oklahoma.
Chief Quanah is a willy old redskin.
It is said on the reservation that he
..walks both foads"-the paleface road
of progress and backward trail of the
redskins. During his checkered career
he has been so fortunate, or unfortu-
nate, as to acquire seven wives; this
was according to the old ruling which
permitted polygamy among the Blan-
ket Indians, or Wild Tribes. But Uncle
Sam has put his foot down on this
practice, and from now on 'Lo" will
have to content himself with one wife
only. Chief Quanah is the father of 80
odd children. Many of them are well
educated, but the subject of this sketch
carries off the palm among the Par
ker olive branches.
Needle Parker, Quanah's daughter, is
a uuarter-breed Comanche, and one Of
the most beautiful and interesting In
dian girls to be found among the Kio-
wa and Comanche Indians of Oklaho-
ma. Her somewhat melancholy, though
beautifully regular, features, show few
traces of the stern, a4uiline, Indian
type, partaking rather of the soft
curves of the distant Spanish strain
inherited by the Comanches from their
Mexican ancestry. Her complexion is
pure olive, showing the Caucasian
blood of her captive grandmother. Her
name, Needle, leaves one to infer that
either she is an adept with the needle
of civilized womanhood, or acquired
her peculiar ZANE latter the manner
of these Indians,) because of some in
cident connected with her birth in
which needle played a conspicuous
part. Ofttimes child's name is al
tered in after years on account Of
some marked personal characteristic.
Perhaps this young woman with the
melancholy Spanish beauty showed
marked talent for needlework and SO
obtained her name. She has sister
who rejoices in the more civilized name
of Laura. This more, progressive
daughter of the chief is assistant CASH
Ter in the bank of Indiahoma, while vet
another, who "walks the paleface
way" is teaching school.
The chiefs eldest son, Walter. a grad
uate of Carlisle, and very promising
Young man, died short time ago, a
victim of that dread destroyer of the
Blanket Indians-consumption, to the
great grief of the old chief, who is de-
voted to his children, and is father
as well to all his tribe. To his home,
the sswhite house" of this little nation,
they flock to seek his advice in weighty
matters. his house being truly the Nee

Gau.e Hosiery IL Delightful.

Gauze Isle stockings, SO thin that
they seem made of silk yelling, are
made substantial enough to wear, half
q dozen times, at least, by doubling
of the thread over the heels, toes and
soles, and at the top where the gar
ter clasps are fastened. These very
thin stockings are delightfully."- cool,
and are preferred BY many women to
lace and open-work kinds. They are
expensive, because they are SO very
perishable.

lar appropriateness, since Harriet
Lane johnson is, with the single ex-
ception OF Dolly Madison, the only
woman who, while serving as first
lady Of the land, entertained any.
thing like as extensively as Mrs.
Roosevelt.
While there are many points OF
similarity between the social methods
of Harriet Lane Johnston and Mrs.
Roosevelt. both having delighted to
entertain at the white house the mas
tiers of achievement in the worlds of
politics, art, literature and science,
as well as their own personal friends,
the conditions under which these two
women have served as hostess at the
executive mansion could not well be
more divergent. Throughout the en-
tire Buchanan administration feel
ing ran high, owing to the gathering
of the storm which later broke in the.
civil war, and it was only by her
possession of magnificent personal
ity, combined with rare grace and
tact, that Mrs. Johnston was enabled
to keep the social atmosphere of the
white house free from those clashes
of sentiment which pervaded every
branch of public life.
The particularly notable event of
Harriet Lanes regime in the white
house was, of course, the visit of the
then prince of Wales. now King Ed
ward, of England. The British royal
family has never ceased to seek
means to manifest it's appreciation OF
the kindness which Miss Lane showed
to her royal guest. and upon the oc-
casion of her visit to England during
later years she has been made the
recipient of every social attention.
Particularly was this the case last
year, when she was one of the kpe
cially honored guests at the corona
ton. The queenly young mistress of
the white house quite captivated the
prince of Wales not less by the elab-
crate dinners and receptions which
she gave in his honor at the execu
tive mansion than by the charming
comradarie spirit which she mani
tested when she danced with him on
the deck of the United States steam
er Harriet Lane, returning from a
visit to Mount Vernon, and the teas
ing which she administered when
later she ignominiously defeated the
prince in bowling contest.
OF late years Harriet Lane John
ston, who suffered a double bereave-
ment in the early death of her hus-
band and son, has lived in quaint
old house in the fashionable section
of Washington. The house is filled
with interesting art object and SOU
venirs, among which are the hand
some engravings which were sent to
Harriet Lane by the prince Of Wales
after his return, to England. These
pictures were the cause of some con-
troversy when Miss Lane, at the con-
clusion of her uncle's administration,
removed them from the white house.
A portion of the public and a number
Of newspapers declared that they had
been sent as gift to the American
nation and should remain in the pres
idential mansion, but the British gov
eminent fastened to send letter ex-
planning that they had been designed
as a personal gift to Miss Lane. Mrs.
Johnston's household at the present
time consists of only herself and her
niece Miss Kennedy.-Waldon Faw-
cett, in st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Of the Catskill mountains. This she
called "Highmount," and from the

Gus view of dozen mountain peaks.
The house is large one of colonial

on to which the main living-room of
her house opens. This terrace was so
effective Tor grouping and for exits and

was copied in the reproduction of a
Tudor brick terrace which forms q
part of the stage setting in the first
act of the play.
Her estate consists Of 400 acres, and
only the smaller part of her large es-
tate is laid out in lawn, garden and
driveways. That portion of her pos
sessions which she has with admira BILE
taste allowed to remain wholly "unim-
proved" is by far the greater part of
the estate. Still in its original Wild
ness, it is criscrossed by mountain
streams, cleft by deep ravines, and
overgrown with a network of vines
and forest trees that have never known

The Chicago Tribune seems to be
making a determined effort to arouse
race prejudice in the public schools OF
the city and it is fact not creditable
to this heretofore fair journal. It is
natural that the addition of many
Southerners to Chicago's population,
bringing with them as they do their
damnable ideas of the inferiority OF the
Afro-American, that there should be
some friction occasionally on the race
question, but it is very small business
for a great paper like the Tribune to
fan the embers of race prejudice, as it
has been doing within the past three
months. First came the Raymond
letters which did the race great injury:
In reply to an educated and refined
Afro-American who objected to Ray
mond's method of presenting the race
question, the Tribune claimed TREND
ship for Afro-Americans and said the
articles were printed for the, "best in
terests of the race" That's what slave
holders said before the war. They held
the black man in bondage for his best
interests -.
Now every little scrap between white
and black boys is magnifed into a
race war" The Tribune ought not to
prostitute decent journalism by admit
ting such stuff to its columns.
The Rock River conference at Au-
rora, Illinois, has decided ito petition
Congress, asking for the education in
agriculture, industry, food and santa
ton of the Negroes of the South" -.
The Appeal is opposed to the estab-
lishment of any kind of separate IN
stitution for the Afro-Americans. The
government in republic has no right
to discriminate between its citizens. To
open schools. like those proposed
would not really benefit the race, but
would serve to force the Afro-Ameri-
can into an inferior. position in the
country. It would be all right for the
government to establish industrial
schools which would be open to all
citizens regardless Of color or creed,
but to suggest any particular kind OF
education for the Afro-American is an
insult to the race. The Christian breth-
rem who are so anxious for the eleva-
ton of the race should elevate them
selves above the narrow prejudice
which causes them to offer something
to the black mans children which they
would not accept for their own off
spring.

ptia: J. B: Lippincott Company.
Within the last year or two there has
been written a good deal of interesting
reading matter dealing with the early
life of the Republic and of the colonial
period. Much of the matter that has
been given to the public bears the stamp
of hastiness and i'll preparation, and can
hardly be classed as standard literature.
Anne Hollingsworth Wharton, however, in
Social Life in the Early Republic" has
written historically and we'll. This lady
has made profound study of the colon
ial period, and the previous volumes which
she has written dealing with the men,
the politics and the tragic events of that
most strenuous period of development and
evolution was not only well received by
the reading people, but caused them to
look forward with much expectation to
the present volume, which may be termed
exhaustive.
The first chapter on "A Social Evolu-
ton carries one straight to the heart
of the subject, without any of the sicken-
ing little prOlogues or apologies which
usually characterize works of this class.
