A Famous Elk Tooth Robe.

The famous elk tooth robe that be-
longed to a daughter Of Old Grow, a
Cheyenne chief, has been purchased by
the proprietors of the Thomas Tribune.
Old Crows household was loath to
part with the relic that had been the
pride Of the Cheyenne and Sioux In
dians for several generations. The 72a
teeth represented 364 bull elk, as there
are only two good teeth in the head of
each animal
When the robe changed hands Old
Crows entire family Of about fifteen
aborigines was present to see that the
deal was pulled of according to the
latest rules Of commerce. When the
money was handed over there was q
grand rush for the "wohaw" (meaD

hauled to Old Crows tepee that even

Breeding Lions In Captivity.

For years back within the classic pre-
cincts Of Phoenix park the authorities
of the Dublin zoo have been breeding
lions at rate that has been touched
by no other menagerie in the world.
The climate of Ireland, which is 50
1nimical to poisonous reptiles, seems to
benefit the raging lion Of the Nubian
deserts to such a marvellous extent that
he actually thrives better in the open
air within smelling distance of the riv-
er Liffey than he is accustomed to do
IN his native Africa. For some mystic
r1ous reason these animals flourish and
breed in the Dublin ZOO.
