INDIANS AT SCHOOL.
WHITE MANS INSTITUTION Is
LIKED BY THE MOQUIS.
Little Ones Climb Down Immense
Rock to Get Instruction, and Teach.
ers Praise Their Good Behavior
During Lesson Hours.

The home Of the Oraibi branch of
high, upon which the old Indians prac-
tice the snake dance and other favor
lite ceremonies of the tribe. But it
is probable that the coming genera
ton, or, perhaps, the present one, will
grow out of these things. The white
man, with his school house and other
usages of civilization, has found the
young Indians and made friends of
them.
A few years ago these Indians of
the mesa were considered hostile be-
they exhibited more opposition
to the influence of the whites than
did the other Moquis. When it was
proposed to build a school house at
the base of the mesa and to place all
the children in school, the parents
stubbornly refused to permit it. But
a house was built, and after long and
persistent effort, every child of prop
er age was enrolled as a pupil. The
Indians, who had so vigorously OPP
posed at first, became jealous friends
OF the school as DON as they saw the
results of it.
The enterprise has been very sue
cessful, and nov n may stand near
the school at Z o'clock in the morning,
and looking up at the plateau, 500
feet above, see suddenly a curious
thing. Little children, looking like
dolls, begin to appear over the edge
Of the mesa. One child comes into
view behind another, and soon the
face of the great rock is alive with
the little creatures as they descend, in
single file, the steep, zigzag path lead
ing to the base of the mesa and the
school. The little folk seem to be
hanging to the wall of the immense
rock as they slowly descend the face
OF it. They keep pouring over the
edge at the top, and the head of the
line has reached the school on the
plain below before the last of it leaves
the mesa.
When the struggling line comes
fully into view, it is nearly a half
mile long. A fanciful person might
see in it's convolutions on the pain
some resemblance to the movements
of a snake, and think Of it as the
snake dance with which the young In
dams have replaced that Of their
grandfathers.
In this school there are ITS children,
and in regularity of attendance it is
said to head the list Of Indian day
schools in all the country. A fine
large new building, costing between
$4,000 and $4,000, has taken the place
of the first schoolhouse. New clothes,
such as white children wear, are sup
piled the pupils when they enter
school. The children are fond of their
lessons, and the teachers have but few
complaints to make of bad behavior.

MISTAKES OF GREAT PAINTERS.
Accuracy of Detail Not a Great Point
with Them.

Accuracy of Detail Not a Great Point
with Them.
There has been a lot of talk of late
about the blunders of novelists. Here
are a few of the principal mistakes of
great painters:
The painters Of two or three CEN
turtles ago seem to have troubled but
little about strict accuracy of detail.
In many cases their mistakes cannot
be attributed to mere ignorance, and
some writer's have attempted to show
that they regarded pictures in q differ
ent light from that in which we do.
Raphael represents Apollo playing
the violin, and has a red lobster in his
Miraculous Draught of Fishes"
A well-known Dutch painter shows
us Abraham preparing to sacrific his
son by blowing out his brains with q
pistol. In another Dutch picture ono
Of the wise men is represented offering
to the Divine Infant a model Of Z
dutch man-of-war.
Durer painted Adam and Eve ex-
PEELED from the Garden by an angel
In a dress trimmed with flounces.
Ucello, wishing to represent q cham
eleon, makes it a marvellous beast, half
camel. half lion.
In a famous picture Of Adam and
Eve IN the Garden of Eden, we see in
the background a hunter in full cos
tune shooting ducks.
Paul Veronese places several Bene-
dictine monks among the priests at the
marriage in Cana Of Galilee. Tintor-
etto represents the Israelites gather
ing mama armed with guns, and Pous-
sin has a picture Of st. Jerome seated
In front Of q clock.

CHAPTER x.
Life Tied in Knot.

One morning sOO after the New
Year, Hyde vas returning to the
Manor House from New York. 1t was
q day to Cypress thought, and tighten
the heart, and kill all hope and energy.
There was q monotonous rain and a
sky like that Qf a past age-solemn
and leaden-and the mud of the roads
was unspeakable. He was compelled
to ride slowly and to feel in its full
force, as it were, the hostility Of Ma
ture.
But when he reached home and his
valet had seen to his masters refresh
ment In every possible way, Hyde was
at least reconciled to the idea of liv-
ing q little longer. At least there was
Annie. Annie was always glad to see
him, and he had = great respect for
Annie's opinions.
He heard her singing as he ap-
preached the drawing room, and he
opened the door nOiselessly and went
in. He did not In any way disturb
her. She ceased when the hymn was
finished and sat still q few moments,
realizing, as far as she could, the
glory which doth not yet appear. Then
he stood up and she came towards
him. Hyde placed her in q chair be-
fore the fire. and then drew his own
chair to her side.
Cousin" she said, II am most glad
to see you. Everybody has some work
to do today"
And you. Annie?"

do" she answered. "My soul II here

German Scholar Honored.

Kuno Fischer, the renowned phil.
osopher and teacher Of Heidelberg,
among the most distinguished. of liv-
ing professors and the last represen-
tative of a great school Of German
scholars, reached his eightieth birth
day recently. In spite of the old
mans protests thousands of students
who have sat at his feet gave vent to
their reverential and affectionate feel
ings by messages and otherwise.
Even the grave old senate OF Heidel-
berg rose to the occasion and estab-
lished an honorary Kuno Fischer
prize. The great old man is rapidly
declining.

Council Meeting
Filter House and Waterworks I'm
der Discussion Investigation
Ordered.

A number Of important matters
came up at the Tuesday afternoon
meeting of the city council, re-
port Of which was crowded out Of
yesterdays paper.
In the filter house matter, it was
voted upon a motion Of Mr.. Dona-
van, that the city construct the
filter house without placing the
work in the hands of a contractor.
The mayor was authorized to su-
perintend the construction. 1t is
thought that money can be saved
by this method.
There was considerable discus
sion as to the manner in which
the waterworks contractor is doing
his work. The question was also
raised as to whether Chickasha
laborers were being employed ac-
cording to the terms of the con-
tract. 1t was finally voted that
the waterworks committee be in
structed to investigate and report
on the entire matter. Alderman
Woodside was added to the COM
mittee in the place of Mr.. Burton
who is out of the city.
A communication from the Fris-
co to the effect that piling for the
Sixth street bridge had been ship
ped, was read and it was voted to
proceed with the work of con-
structing the bridge at once, the
mayor supervising the work.
Upon recommendation Of the FIRE
committee George Blick was ap-
pointed fire chief and John Burton,
driver.
1t was announced by the sewer

struction Of the sewer system

-Four New Judges
For the Indian Territory Provided
By the Bill Passed BY The
House and Senate.

Washington, April -Four
new additional judges are TO be APP
pointed for the Indian Territory
courts, according TO the provisions
of the bill agreed upon by the con
ference committee and passed by
the senate and house today.
These judges are to be located in
northern, western, eastern and
southern districts. They are not
TO sit as members of the court of
appeals for that territory
Probate jurisdiction has been ex-
tended to the district courts, but
no new court towns are designated
in the bill. The judges are TO be
appointed by the president and it
is'probable that the appointment
will soon be made.
The Kansas delegation in con-
gress will attempt to name one Of
the new judges in Indian Terri
tory. Representative Curtis to-
day proposed the name Of Judge J..
c. Slonecker, Of Topeka, for ap-
pointment, but was later advised
that Judge Slonecker would not
accept the position if rendered
to him. ]. I. Dickerson of Mar
ion was next proposed and Curtis
stated tonight that the Kansas
delegation would probably agree
upon him as a candidate.
Curtis did effective work iH Sc
curing the passage of the bill and
it is believed he will have some
thing to say about the appointment
of one new judge.
