should be planted with fruit or forest

ANOTHER TRIAL GIVEN
Creeping Bear at Memphis--The In
dian Has Already Had Two
Hearings.

With thar healthy copper color
which is characteristic Of his race
ana by which the Indian acquired in
years gone by his title of "redskin,
gone from his face, and instead a sal
low paleness, begotten Of long con
| inement and little exercise Creeping
Bear, d representative of the once
powerful Sioux nation, has again be.
come an inmate of the Shelby county
jail. says the Memphis Commercial
appeal.
Eighteen months have elapsed
since the night when this Indian com
mitted the offense for which he is
held in durance, During these months
he has been accorded two trials in
the courts of the paleface and each
time he has been convicted of foul
crime, The supreme court Of the
state of Tennessee has granted the
Indian another hearing.
The story of Creeping Bears crime
has been told in these columns be-
fore, how he. with a tomahawk and
in the true fashion of his forefathers,
felled George Fl Willard, a former
member of the Memphis police de-
partment, on the principal street in
this city, has been told in these col
umns The fact that the blow de-
livered caused death sixteen days
later is also known, as is the history
of the two trials thar have been ac-
corded the Indian in the local court
and also the decisions of the higher
tribunal
When Creeping Bear was arrested
for the crime he weighed 1876 pounds
and was almost a perfect specimen Of
manhood
When he returned from jackson
last Thursday he weighed bur l35
pounds, and is but a ghost of his for.
MGR self physically, His wits, how
ever, have been sharpened by his as
ISOLATION with white men in prison.
He has acquired the use of many
English words which were formerly
unknown to him. and talks with the
brogue or twang which is common
with his tribe.
Ills race is famous for the splendid
specimens OF men which it has pro
duced. also for their fighting quail
ties n is well known fact that an
Indian never picks a quarrel, not
even when under the influence Of
their chief enemy. "frewater" If
trouble is started with him, however
the person provoking it had better
look TO his laureis. for the hatred of
the Indian neither sleeps nor dies II
Is equally 80 with his friendships
The Indian race Is the one race now
in existence tha; can keep inviolate q
secret This Is evidenced by the
many men who have served in the (
employ of the federal government |
either in or near the reservations |
where the fast diminishing bands of /
Indians are now kept under govern. |
ment control. The men who have /
served in the army OF the United I
States. even those who have fought I

indians with whom they have been

HOUSEKEEPING POPULAR
Idea OF Summer Outings Borrowed
From England Finds Favor
With Americans.

No form of summer recreation has
grown so much in popularity in the
lat few years as housekeeping, says
the Brooklyn Eagle. There has been
a pretty general belief that the auto
mobile lately entered into the largest
degree of public favor but while this
be true of the wealthy classes, in the
families of moderate means there has
been a growing tendency 70 spend
summer vacations in drifting down
streams ana In exploring quiet corners
Of the coast line in the charming iso-
lation of tiny houses builded over the
decks If old tugs and canal boats.
The houseboat has been borrowed
from England. and like most impor.
tations, 1t has been vastly improved
upon here. At first the square English
type Of houseboat was faithfully cop
led hut now almost every conceivable
shape of vessel is represented in the
hundreds of houseboat7 being put into
commission for summer in New York
waters
1t was through the 600 that the
honsehoat was introduced in this coun.
try. Ten years ago members OF the
Newport set found diversion in the
late spring in going abroad on the
invitation Of English noblemen TO join
parties ON houseboati in the Thames
during Henley week. Gradually these
houseboat excursions began to be
commented upon in the weekly bud
get of society gossip sent from Lon
don to the Sunday newspapers and in
time when the genuine delights Of
the pastime found full appreciation
here and there along the Long Island
shore cottagers remodeled old vessels
and went on short trips Soon the
length OF these wandering voyages
was increased. until nov many fam-
lies, Instead of renting cottages spend
the entire summer vacation in slowly
padding here and there in grotesque-
looking, but immensely comfortable
craft
There are countless advantages in
going pleasure seeking in houseboat,
but to many the greatest recommen-
dation viii be that of cost A houae-
boat may be JUST as expensive as the
owner desires to make it; the initial
cost may run as high as 100000 or
ii may be kept as low as a couple of
hundred dollars by the transformation
OF barge into house roomy enough
for a dozen persons. The houseboat,
it might be truly said fits the pur es
OF all who leave the cities for their
summer outings, and. apart from the
first cost, there is the other great adj
vantage that the question of rental is
solved the moment the host and guests
80 aboard. and also the expense of
running the gallary is reduced to
minimum.
So great has been the increase in
the number Of hOuseboat in local wa
ters in the last two years that yacht
agents now assemble these floating
honses in a class by themselves. At
the time when the Newport colony
interested itself in the pastime the
only households in commits Jon were
large and exceedingly expensive yes
sells. but when the wealthy dropped
this fad there quickly came into being
a feet of small boats owned by fami-
lies bent on healthy pleasure, and not
directed by the passing fancy Of the
moment
