you from the cold clustering northern
winter to a land of sunshine and flow

a land Of kindly greetings. of extreme

|! THE POOR MOTHER-IN-LAw

A special dispatch from Valentine,
Neo., to the Denver Republican says
La the white men of that section are
partial to Sioux Indian wives. They
NE them better than the white wives
oocause the mothers-in-law are sup
eoeed to be dead just as soon as TIE
wedding ceremony is performed. The
iaispatch says:

the Sioux Indians, that the son-in-law

law retires when her son-in-law en-
tiers the house. Here she sits silently
and does nothing but remain behind
the blanket until the man is gone.
Since they have become MOI civiliz.
ed they nave not changed their habits.
The white man marrying an Indian
girl takes NJ chances OF putting up
with a grizzled old squaw. Men like
to find a woman who can be married
without marrying the mother. have
peaceful households. 1t is the Indian
wife for me. She is true to the last
inch, quiet and usually capable"
A story comes from the Pine Ridge
reservation illustrating the unanimity
with which the Sioux Indians regard
the mother-in-haw as an intolerable
nuisance:
Night Pipe, a young bridegroom, liv
ed on the reservation, nj an in.is
ible mother-in-law was his only un'
happiness. Although he never beheld hel
person. she insisted on sitting behind
her blanket and s%colding. The sound
LOT her voice was a source of constant
vexation to Night Pipe. He made sew
eral attempts to dislodge the squaw
and send her to her home, in another
part of the reservation. but failed, the
mother-in-law insisting that tribal Gus
toms gave her the right to sit behind
her partition so long as she did moi
tahow her face.
Then Night Pipe decided to appeaI
to the agent, and he wrote a letter
which is now preserved as a curiosity
The letter said:
II have a few words to say to you
now, and they are that l am sorry for
myself. 1t is an old woman which
makes me very sorry every day be

woman to her camp and we will be
