most hides from view the diminutive

The little engine is intended for use
on the narrow-gauge railroads, Of
which there are many In Japan. In
any other country the work that the
little locomotive is to do would be
done by horses, but these useful AMI
mails being scarce In the mikado's
realm most of the transportation has
been In the hands of the vast army
of coolies employed in q carrying ca
pacity by the Japanese. To facilitate
the operations Of these coolies the
Japanese have built hundreds Of miles
of narrow-gauge railroads. and along
these the merchandise and produce of
the country have been propelled. not
by engines or even cattle. but by hand
power. Coolie labor is cheap in the
orient, but the intelligent Japanese
who have Travelled conceived better
way of transporting merchandise than
In pushing it along railroad by hand.
The tiny railroads being already
built, it was only necessary to provide
locomotives to fit them, and this prop
osition was made to the company:
That it build a locomotive to At the
gauge Of the coolie railroads. each
locomotive being large enough and
strong enough to do the work Of two
coolies. The little engine now in
readiness for work in Japan is the re-
suit of the designers ingenuity, says

Dastardly Deed,

II was no fault of the miscreant who
attempted the destruction of the new
house of Corrine Holmes in Fargo that
his designs were not carried out. The
dynamite went of as he had planned,
but the building stands but little the
worse for the rough handling. The
dynamite was set of by fuse leading
from the house toward the river for a
distance of about 80 feet. A man IA
miliar with the workings of fuses and
dynamite, on looking over the pieces
Of fuse found, expressed his opinion
that the fuse had burned at the rate
of foot per minute. At that rate
the miscreant had 80 minuteAin which
to make his escape.

Champion English Woman Golfer Who
Recently Played In This Country.
Troon links last May, at the annual
tournament Of the Lady's Golf Union
of Great Britain, which, by the way, is
the one thoroughly sound, representa-
tive and democratic championship meet
ing in Great Britain. This is because it
has not been confined to narrow group
Of links, but has been held impartially
in England. Scotland, Wales and Ireland
in turn.
Miss Dod's first instructor on the links
was her brother, Anthony bod, and prior
to the victory at Troon she had been q
bronze medalist-in 1S9S-and the hold
q Of many records, including q "a at
Moreton, heE home club, and a 80 over
the menss course at Troon, both made
with the solid ball.
Always brilliant from the tee, Miss
bod IL also very steady in approach
ing and putting. She was the champion
lawn tennis player for several seasons
before taking up golf in the tournament
way, and she plays both games with
equal pleasure. But Miss bod is the
embodiment of the athletic English gen.
tlewoman that Du Maurier loved to de-
pict, and marvel Of energy, changing
from the links or the court to hockey
(she has played forward in the English
W. scotswomen's match), and she IL
an adept at figure skating.

Of the Grandson Of tho Chief
Who Executed It
in 1904.

st. Louis.-One of the picturesque
figures to visit the worlds fair u
Chesahawka, second chief of the Usage
tribe of Indians from Oklahoma
Chesahawka is the most interesting
personality at the worlds fair Indian
camp. His family is the most re-
nowned of any in Indian history.
Chesahawka is the grandson Of Chesa-
hawka l., the most brilliant chief the
Osages ever had.
It was he who negotiated the INST
treaty of peace between the United
States and his tribe prior to the de-
parture Of the 0sages from their ma
tive reservation in st. Louis . little
less than q century ago.
This peace treaty, now in the pos
session of the younger Cheaahawka,
represents one Of the most interest
ing documents Of its kind, and one Of
the most valuable, from q historical
standpoint, in existence to-day:
It represents q treaty Of peace and
avowal of everlasting friendship BE-
tween the United States and the Usage
nation. It is written on sheepikin
parchment of size about one foot
square, >and bears the date of July 10,
1904, and the seal of the war depart
ment.
Chesahawka inherited this valuable
instrument from his father at his
death.
The parchment is decorated with a
fine gold chain, which has been insert
ed over the top of the word Greet
Ing" Reference is made to the chain
in the wording Of the document, COM
pairing its purity of gold, (which will
never rust" to the friendship of the
United States government for the
Usage nation.

document as he prizes his very LIES

ment of that nation. The tomb of the
founder Of the dynasty surpasses ones
conception Of the art Of the Chinese and
is superior to those Of the kings in
Peking, its only parallel being in the
monuments of the Moors, in Spain. Be-
hind the great gray walls are temples
and mourning houses, the roofs covered
with tiles from imperial potteries, en-
bellished with red, green and silver
tracery. Leading to the central temple

bones of the man who founded the em-

blood. He never permits it out Of his
sight, and when the few persons whom
he has been persuaded to allow to ex-
anime it do SO he has kept a constant
eye over it until the moment it is re-
turned safely to his hands.
Another heirloom which Chesa-
hawka prizes highly is a large silver
medal, which he wears attached to q
blue silk ribbon about his neck. The
medal bears testimony that it was
given to his father, the former chief
of the Osages, by Zachary Taylor in
1S49, on his visit to Washington.
Chesabawka carries these honors
with ths, dignity of his strong person
ality. and as the future chief of the
Usage nation.
When summoned by Dr. s G. Simms,
who issin charge Of the Indian camp,
to meet some pale-face visitors the
other day, Chesahawka presented q
striking appearance. He is of impos-
ing stature, six feet tall, with finely
developed head and shoulders He is
one Of the few true copper-colored In
dams. He wore gorgeous costume.
A splendid red Navajo blanket, which
fell over lemon-colored robe of mus
lin, draped his huge frame.
From the shoulders Of the yellow
rope hung two strips of blue silk. He
wore the finest quality Of buckskin
mocasstns, and about his squarely
shaped head was wrapped black silk
handkerchief, to protect his head from
the suns rays. The ancient custom
of the Usage chiefs is still adhered to
by Chesahawka in shaving his head
with the exception Of small knot Of
hair and q few strands Of the coarse
black hair falling from the top Of the
knot.
With no hair at all it would leave
little chance for the enemy to scalp
them Not wanting to be called cow
ards from fear Of being scalped, the
chiefs inaugurated this unique hair
dress sf their own, and which is one
of the distinguishing characteristics
Of IN Usage chieftain.
Ohiopowallah, governor Of the
Usage nation, who accompanied Chesa-
hawkA to the worlds fair, is as strik-
ingly picturesque in costume and per-
sonaiity as the second chief He is an
older man. being about 20 years old. {.
Through their Interpreter, Frank
eorndropper, the distinguished men
EXPRESSED their opinion Of the worlds
taic. It was one Of admiration and
wonderment at the great buildings and
The immensely Of the grounds.
I'VE had no idea that the land of
0ur forefathers would present such an
appearance to us to-day" said Chesa-
hawka through his Interpreter. 1T is
great and strange, like some pleasant
dream, very wonderful these white
buildings, and the great crowds of
people. We shall never forget it, and
we shall repeat to our people when we
go home all that we have seen.''

herself against the insiduous con-
