games are very popular even to-day

manches, especially in the South.
One of them is known as the avn
game, and 1t is played on a blanket
that is marked with all sorts of lines,
something like a fox and geese board
In the center is a stone. at which
way that they VIII bounce Oft and
strike one Of the lines along the edge
of the blanket.
Each player has an awl or needle,
which she sticks into the spot where
her stick falls. There are, of course,
a number of pitfalls and traps, and the
game is both intricate and interesting;
sometimes q whole village will gather
around the fires at night and break up
into parties, each playing the awI
game. The women generally beat the
men at II.
The other game is played with lit
tie fiat baskets and five pebbles or
plum stones, which are painted in GER
tain ways. These are thrown into the
air from the baskets and caught in
them again, and the players score de-
after the toss.
A song much used by the Kiowas.
about a young warrior named Red
Tail, who did strange things when he
went into frances, was composed by
a young girl of the tribe, and is noted
for it's catching melody and it's excel
lent description of Indian life.
Another famous prairie song which
is sung to this day at the ghost dances
and other mystic ceremonies is the
work of an Arapahoe woman, and has
given ethnologists valuable material
for perpetuating the history Of the
tribes.
The Caddoes, whose stock includes
the Pawnees and the Wichltas. have
had several poetesses among them.
and they hold the memory of these
women composers in great reverence.
One of them was woman named
Nyutaa, who wrote a long epic about
the grandmother above, by which she
meant the thunder. and the uncle
above, by which she meant the sun.
Ever since then the Pawnees call the
sun and the thunder by these names.
Another one OF their songs was
composed by girl, who sang il Just
before She died. The story they tell
is that she heard it in the spirit world
and sang II to her friends on earth.
But then she heard all her friends
weeping in the spirit world because
she had left them. so she lay down
and died to appease them.

it was not too much to believe of such
a man that he had become infatuated
with Mrs. Hamilton and sought TO
claim her as his wife, basing his Ac-
lions on her attitude toward her return
ed husband and his slight resemblance
to the latter. Then, too, the shot fir
ed on Mr.. Hamilton's premises might
well have been done by his own hand
to evidence his own assertion that the
design was to get rid of him and his
claims, which would suggest that Ham,
ilton did it himself.
DR.. Peck was no lawyer, nor did he
reckon himself particularly astute, but
as he sat there facts and deductions
evolved themselves with startling force
and rapidity, mingling and comming-
ling in the widest confusion until his
brain seemed bursting. Strange how
dormant ideas start into being and
range themselves side by side to 90
battle for or against a startling as
sertion. A luminous path seemed open
to his vision, leading straight to the
time when Vane Hamilton left home in
the first place, and he saw clearly the
long line of events since then down
to this strange declaration just made
to him. Back of it all was deep, dark
mystery. Villainy was there, sorrow
could not be far distant, and for every
one concerned in the matter there
would be a suspense maddening and
extreme
Indignation arose in his heart to-
ward the man before him. 1t became
in an instant too deep for expression,
and he arose without speaking another
word and left the house.

ears of the busy doctor as well as
concerning the interest said to exist
at one time between Edes and Mrs.
Hamilton; but he had not thought much
about the matter believing 1t gossip
with little or no foundation in fact.
But now he saw, or fanCied he saw,
his mistake. This eager-faced, ener-
getic man was a far different person
than he had supposed him to be. He
was man clearly capable of making
and supporting a claim of a nature so
astounding that, improbable as it was,
II could not fail to create wide dis
turbance If Mrs. Hamilton joined
with him it would be far more serious
still, and the results could only be
guessed at, not foreseen.
The hint that he had been shot to
be got out of the way was, or would
be, doubtless. a strong feature in the
mans case; and there were complica-
tons relating to the late bank troubles
which, no doubt, could be brought to
bear upon it likewise. Moreover, the
man before him, DR.. Peck considered,
might be Ashley himself, who by some
strange mistake was believed to have
died. 1t was not unlikely. In the
light of these astounding claims it was
very probable, he thought

Although all the life of the old
North American Indians was so COM
pletely one of war and hunting that
the women naturally played a subor-
dinate part in ii they were by no means
so insignificant to the tribes as the
general belief makes them appear.
In all the great legends and songs
the girls and women play as big a part
as in any stories of any race, even the
most civilized; and many of the best
games, some of which are played TO
this day, are girls games.
The Arapahoe and other prairie tribes
have a game called batiqtuba. The
lroquois have one something like it,
called earth or snow snake.
The girls usually play against each
other, although often the girls play
against the boys of the tribe, or the
men play against the women. And the
best proof that the women can play
well is the fact that the game has
survived to this day; for If it were one
sided, so that the men won with ease,
it would naturally have died out long
ago.
The game is a simple one, but it re-
, quires much more dexterity and agility
than would be supposed from mere
description of it, and when the Indians
play it they manage to make 1t most
exciting.
They cut slender willow rods about
four feet long, which they peel and
paint. Then they tip them with a bit
Of horn on the end.
The player holds the other end of
the rod with the thumb and fingers
and swings II like q pendulum until
he estimates that it has acquired
enough momentum, when he throws It
forward with good sweep of the arm
and wrist.
1t must be so thrown that the horn
tipped end will slide along the ground.
Merely throwing il through the air
will not do. The winner is the one
whose rod goes the farthest and the
most accurately toward the mark.
During the progress of this game
the Arapahoes sing a song that was
composed by a woman of one of their
southern tribes long ago. 1t has not
much meaning to the ears of white
men, but it tells a great story to an
Arapahoe, for it was based on a vision.
that the woman had, in which she saw
the spirit world, where all her friends
and relatives were playing this game.
So while the girls and boys are
throwing the sticks they chant:
MY mother gave me my game stick;
My mother game me my game stick:
! fly around with IT.;
/ fly around with 1t.
To make me see my friends"
Another favorite Indian game song

done to Mrs Hamilton. who listened
with grave, distrustful amazement. At
the close he said:
"A madden scheme never knew

broidered in navy blue floss, showing
natural emblem, were supplied in
sufficient numbers to warrant a daily
change. The hat for this was a round,
rolling brim sailor edged with blue
velvet, and trimmed with choux of
narrow blue velvet ribbon.
For wear with a geranium-red veil
ing gown, made with accordion pleats,
there is a fiat hat of what might be
termed string-white or natural-flax
colored straw in fiat, open-mesh bas-
ket weave. Geranium red velvet is
woven in and out of the straw close
to the edge of the brim, and pompon
bows of the ribbon and chiffon are
Struggled close to the low crown.
For wear with sailor dresses of linen,
duck and cheviot, there are fiat, droop-
ing sailors, bound simply with velvet
ribbon of a contrasting shade, or with
fancy but tightly woven straw braid
instead of ribbon These have no trim
ming except a broad band of ribbon,
velvet or corded silk around the crown,
tackled severely in the back and then
hanging below the shoulders.

entire front of the little blouse laid in

EANY thousands of women are
MI nowadays paying attention
-4f1 to physical culture and the 4
proper exercise of their
body muscles, where, thirty years
ago or fifty years ago there was no
thought expended on this science,
which is quite necessary to physical
beauty. The reason the Greeks, both
men and women, excelled in beauti-
full and symmetrical forms was be-
cause of the attention they paid to
the proper exercise. Then, too, they
were untrammeled by corsets, shoes
and the inconvenience of clothing.
To the minds of some women the idea
of physical exercise conveys only the
idea of hard fatiguing work. 1t is not
intended that women should strain or
tax their muscles, or take exercise after
they are tired out. The principal thing
is to have good air when exercising, ex-
pand the lungs, wear loose clothing, OF
very little, and take mild exercise. The
more outdoor air a woman can get the
better for her When you are vigorously
exercising throw open the windows. II
is astonishing how seldom it is possible
to take cold in the open air if vigorously
exercising Common sense in physical
culture is as necessary as it is in every
thing else. Don't overdo and take {
great deal of exercise for short period
and then stop altogether. Mild exercise
continued day after day is best for tn,
body and spirits and health. Withou
proper exercise there can be no health
and without health there can be no rea

If youthful vanity is not stirred to

American children are blind to the
Establishments of their mothers pa

over utterly to mud pies and sand

If Mam'selle Dainty be bound for

appalling. Like her mamma, she will

straight, untrimmed morning frock of

lace-trimmed batiste or organdie.
Straw hats are very large and sim
ply trimmed. with broad sailors and
dropping flats leading the various
modes. Lingerie effects run to smaller
shapes. poke bonnets in particular.
Flowers made from satin ribbon are
combined with lingerie materials, and
these hats are so much trimmed and
perufiied that they lose every sugges-
ton of their original mission, which
was to be washable.
Fond mothers have only to make a
circuit of the fashionable shops to
realize that if children are up-to-date,
they will wear hats and frocks which

coloring as in fabric and general finish.
In a store which caters exclusively
TO juvenile needs the little dresses and
hats are so grouped and the effect of
the display is an impressive lesson in
correct and elegant combinations.
