red strips dangling about their feet
without tripping. A shout was the
signal for a short rest, during which
the bucks vigorously piled some cheap
paper fans. After the war dance Ia
ma-Tosa, who is a born stage manager,
as we'll as an all around sporting H.
dian, made the squaws give the cap
ture dance. The squaws lined them
selves up 81 that they pressed closely
against each other and then approach
ed the cluster of bucks by short jumps,
made in concert and in time with the
drumming. When they were near
enough the women reached out and
each grabbed a buck, who at nee be-
gan to jump in time with his partner,
and with his arlns BY his side he fol-
lowed her jumping movement back to
the. place from which she had started
and became her prisoner. Tama-Tosa
kept up the performance until the fire
went down and the crowd thinned out.
Then he led his harmless braves back
to the tepees. The cowboys mounted
their ponies and in twos and threes
and half dozens fox trotted out Of
town, bordering on the mighty changes
which time is working. - St Louis

A Plea For the Once Worthy Fourth
of July Feature.
Something, ought to be done to re-
habilitate the Fourth OF July celebra-
ton. especially Its irecracker depart
ment. The celebration Of the present
day is but a pale reflection and a far
of echo Of the glorious triumph Of the
past. and the sickly, petufant pop Of
the contemporary 1arecrscker bears but
sorry comparison with the detonatfon.
Of its predecessor Of a few years back.
It is sad to see alnattonal institution
thus going to the dogs. But the dogs
need not worry-it no longer frightens
them as In times past It did.
These latter day inaudible hrecrack-
ers are frauds, cheating the small boy
out Of his hard saved dime. And az
to the tail OF the lion, what 10 It fort
1t Is an ornamental rather than IN e.
sential appendage, and a gentle little
twist, with a bit Of a. knot OF two inst
for remembrance, iest be forget, can
do no harm and is sure to awaken en-
thusiasm on the rear benches.
Give us back orr old celebration!
And in the matter Of the flrecrackers
there should be Legislation. The max
ers must be compelled by law to use
better powder and more Of it.-New
York Evening Post.
