For The Sunday Eagle
There is no place so interesting. so
amusing and so gay as Paris. But Paris
by gaslight excels Paris by day. and that
is saying a great deal, for during the sea-
son the bouIevards and the Bois de
Boulogne are simply crowded with smart
turnouts But the French do not really
awaken, as it were, before the gas is
lighted. Not that the gas is brighter,
nor that there is more of it, but ii seems
to have an hypnotic influence upon the
people, and by o'clock at night the cafes
are overfowing with a well-dressed,
laughing, good-natured crowd
At one table sits a stately brunette
gowned perfectly and tastefully, and
smiling pleasantly at the numerous COM
pliments bestowed upon her by her fiat
tering escort. At another table one may
see a fluffy blonde in a large picture
hat. looking fondly and tenderly into the
ewes of her dark cavalier. These people
constitute an amusing aggregation and
are, as a rule, TO be found at the cafes
in the evening. They truly enjoy life. If
there is anything worth living for in this
life they most assuredly receive the fun
Dinner is finished about nine or nine
thirty, and then these people have ample
time to reach the theatre, as the conf
N mencement of the plays does not take
place until about that hour. with a few
exceptions.
This nocturnal crowd usually visits the
Fs.gies Bergere, the Moulin Rouge. the
Olympia or some other theatre variete.
They are constantly in search of light
music. popular songs and pretty women.
1t is in such theatres that all of these
things are found.
There are clever burlesques on all of
the present events which in the French
language are ''screamingly funny" Any
thing political or religious is taken up
and worked into a burlesque High Off
cials are pictured in every imaginable
horror and. besides all this, they are de-
graded and the French people laugh al
most unto crying.
There are charming women with beau
t:ful. melodious voices, such as Germaine
Gallois, Mealy, Marguerite Deval and a
dozen others. There are artists in PAN
tomine. dancers and all sorts of perform
ers all in one play or revue, as it is
called in Paris
After the theatre a rush is made for
the supper places. The Cafe Paris being
the most popular there, generally one
may see more people than elsewhere.
IT is impossible to get one otherwise.

Death of Old Grow.

/ Hinton Record: On Wednesday, April
! 20, Hochiney, Cor Old Crow the Oldest
Arapahoe Indian passed to the happy
hunting grounds at the age Of lis years.
! Apart from his great age he was famous
among the Indians of Oklahoma as the
! high priest or sacheIn of the Arapahoe
/ lodges.
The Arapahoes have a lodge which is
composed of six degrees, as follows: the
/ Fox lodge, Star lodge, the Tomahawk
lodge, Selt-Mans lodge, Crazy Mans
ledge and Dog Soldiers lodge, which is
the highest degree. They also have a
separate order known as the Sun lodge,
under whose auspices the we'll known
Sun Dance is given, in which the Indians
fast four days and nights and, until pro-
hibited, were accustomed TO torture them
selves and sometimes offered one of their
number as a sacrifice. OF all these he
alone knew the secrets, with the excep-
ton of White Eyed Antelope. whom he
had chosen his successor and taught
these mysteries.
Until the last few months this aged
warrior could be seen at his home four
miles west of Union City an erect and
swarthy specimen of Indian manhood,
but having lived more that the allotted
time his vital powers gradually gave way
to the ordinances of nature.
Hochiney is said to have fought in thir-
teen of the bloodiest of Indian battles.
in one of these he, with about thirty
Arapahoes Joined the Cheyennes in a bat
tie against Custer on the Washita and
in this he was one of the very few who
escaped
At one time he led a band of his tribes
men in search of the Utes and with six
others was surrounded by his foes. he
alone escaped in some mysterious way
bearing tWo scalps These he is said to
have carried in leather medicine pouch
into, the same being buried with him.
In all his battles he was never wounded
and this made him an object of super
stitious veneration to his people.
He was buried with appropriate cere-
monies at the Indian burying ground 4
miles east OF Powderface crossing on the
South Canadian.
After his death Indians came from
many miles to bring presents and TO all
these the family was expected to give
gifts in return and as those for Hochiney
were buried with him the family was
furnished with good and sufficient cause
for mourning
Until a few years ago Hechiney was
accustomed to wear a belt of scalps at
the dances to which the whites objected
so strongly that the Indian agent took it
and destroyed it.

WAR CRIES.

FL Reno American: AS Charley Perry
was making the rounds yesterday with
his monthly bills he took down a few
of the answers which he got on present
ing his bills, which sound familiar to
others who have the pleasure of induldg
ing in the very interesting and enjoyable
work of collecting. The following was
what Charley Checked in with last night
and a very small amount of cash.
Stand of, out - will send check"
mot at office" come again" paid in
full. bill not correct" paid in part"
'caIl again, will settle" you are trying
to hold me up will not pay" please

With these notes jotted down on the
back of his bills Charley returned TO
the store feeling as though he had done
a big days work, but not much TO show
for it.

of the finest summer restaurants that
are to be found in Paris Chateau de Ma
drid and Armononville are known as the
best and have an established reputation
as the most popular places for dinner IN
the city.
All along the angelic highway, as it
should be called, there is to be heard
soothing strains of fine music and always
good crowd OF lively, high class peo-
pie. Here everybody goes " automo-
biles. although occasionally. carriages
and other vehicles are TO be seen.
Another thing about living in Paris. an
American can always find plenty of COM
pany for there are many English and
Americans TO be found. 1t is like living
in an altogether different world to reside
in Paris and. after one has lived there
awhile, 1t seldom If ever enters one 5
head to live elsewhere. There is a DIFF
ferent atmosphere. and everything is en-
tirely different. And Paris by gaslisht is
scene that impresses one as a place for
the worlds fun and joy

At these supper places are to be seer

are not known for their beauty but fol
their jewels and perhaps their mode OF
! living.
The music starts at midnight, and ther
the real, genuine Paris life has begun
| In those cafes there are always excellent
orchestras. People then awake. the ser
vices begins, the glasses Jingle and all is
merriment. jollity and happiness. Oh
there is only one real Paris. This life
continues until two in the morning at the
first class cafes and until about that time
in some others, but the latter are for peo-
pie of questionable characters and repu-
tatons.
So it continues night after night What
a pleasure it is to drive home down the
dreamfuI boulerards by the Paris gas
light. It brings feeling of ecstacy over
one that invigorates and assists nature.
Paris life is surely next to Paradise,
and if there is such a place Paris is not
1ar behind it.
The summer theatres are also very
amusing. They are all open air affairs
and the performances are light and appro-
pirate for summer. On the Champs Ely
see, the beautiful boulevard and prone
made, are to be found most of the thea
tres. Among them are the Folies Mar
igny Les Ambassadors and the Jardin
de Paris. AT the Jardin de Paris girls
are paid small sums to dance the can
can every night, exposing much lingerie
during the performance. Big audiences
of finely attired people. in full evening
dress. attend these theatres.
One of the most interesting features
about this is the way the small boys act
after the performance is over. When
people start for their carriages they are
sure to find from one to five small lads
waiting there to open the door for you,
and this costs ten centimes or two cents.
This is for the pourboire, or tip as it is
termed here. The boys are never turned
away and it has become a custom to
pay them for the work.
