Striking Carecr of a Sioux Indian.

DR.. Charles A. Eastman, the educated
Sioux Indian, whose animal stories
have just been published by the Harp.
ers under the title Red Hunters and
the Animal People," was born about
forty-fve years ago in Minnesota, the
ancestral home of the Sioux. During
the first fifteen years of his life he
lived in q tepee of buffalo skins. sub.
sisted upon wild rice and the fruits of
the chase, never entered a house or
heard the English language spoken,
and was taught to distrust and hate
the white man.
The second third OF his life was
spent in school and college, where af-
ter q short apprenticeship i'll a mission
school, he stood shoulder to shoulder
with our own youth in Beloit. Knox,
Dartmouth, and the Boston Univer-
sity. During the last fifteen years he
has been q man of varied interests and
occupations-a physician, missionary.

ence, during most Of the time holding
an appointment under the Government.
He has lived in Washington. d. G.. in

n hint of ~crinoline is not evident, un-
less in the width around the skirt and
the multitude Of pleated and gathered
founces in lace or chiffon that are re-

must be understood that these fiounces
and rufaes are never on the skirt, but

hold out the skirt, but not as part OF

are, as has been the fashion for some
years, most costly and elaborate in

several new styles, says 9arper's Ba-
gar, that can be carried out for much
less money i'll the Powered silks and

Blue Boards 5OOth Anniversary.

The five hundredth anniversary Of the
birth Of blue Beard" took place on
October 80. Blue Beard" was a real
man, and the localized fairy story is
true in all it's essential details. "Blue
Beard" was Baron Giles de Rails, an
enormously rich Breton nobleman, who
fought with distinction under the BAN
ner Of Jeanne dare and was Marshal
of France at the age Of twenty-five.
After the a he plunged into the
widest dissipation. His great fortune
was largely increased by the dover Of
his first wife, Catharine de Thouars.
His favorite diversion was numbering
babies and dabbling in their blood.
The Church caused his arrest and trial.
He was condemned and was hanged
at Nantes, but was converted in prison,
and his last words were to implore the
forgiveness of those whose families he
had decimated by murder.

Seven Gored Walking Skirt.

Full walking skirts have become the
accepted one of the fashionable
world, and their variations are almost
without number. This one is excep-
tionally attractive and combines box
pleats with tucks, both being stitched
fiat well over the hips to avoid bulk
at that point. In the case Of the model
the material is copper colored broad
cloth stitched with corticelli silk, but
all suiting and skirt materials are
equally appropriate. and, when liked,
a trimming of braid or stitched bands
can be added.
The skirt is cut in seven cores and
is laid in a box pleat at the centre
front, with succeeding ones at each
seam, which are pressed fat for their
entire length, but stitched to yoke
depth only, and in groups Of tucks be-
tween, the fuliness at the back being
laid in an inverted pleat.

Nepolitan violet, which look so pretty
trimmed with lace, and, in addition,
there are some rose pinks, pale tur-
quoise blue, while a fresh shade OF
mauvei will be specially appreciated
by blonde beauties, and a silVer-gray
is suitable for slight mourning. The
fashionable brown, now called NOR
dore, is also represented, and tbele are
two good shades of royal blue and a
rich poppy red. The white silks are
suitable for children's frocks, as they
are rather more substantial than Jap
anese washing silks, though just az
easy to tuck and quite as soft, and any
of the pale tints will make smart and
~serviceable slips for all occasions.

Popularity Of Oversaiters.

The present season signifies closer
alliance between American and An
glican customs, if the spat habit serve
as criterion. Domestic manufacturers
are now working overtime in order te
supply the demand on mems top gait
ers, which is more pronounced than al
any period in the history Of the trade
Vogue nowadays ordains that overgait'
ers be removed when worn with even
ing dress before the wearer presents
himself for social observation.
The average Londoner Of dependable
s~artorial fashion considers spats as in
dispensable as a walking stick. Dur
ing the past several years overgaiters
have been conspicuous by their alb
sence in New York, but this style has
again developed ascendend proportions

When Can Jackie Sleep?

Says Admiral Sir John Arbuthnot
Fisher, First Sea Lord Of the British
Navy: In our future sea fights, with
destroyers hunting US by night and
submarines logging US by day. the two
chief requisites will be endurance and
nerves. A machine has no nerves and
never gets tired. In the Nelsonic days
they could go to sleep at nights. When
the destroyers arrived we settled to go
to sleep by day. Now the submarine
has come, you can sleep neither by
day nor night"

Just For q Moment.

In the early days in Iowa, writes q
correspondent of The Companion, a vii
lage school was held in a room Of q
farmhouse. The farmer, Mr.. Jennings
told the pupils that they must not mo-
lest his bees.
They were obedient children and re
spected the farmers rights; moreover,
since most of them went barefoot, they
were not axious to stir up trouble in
the hives.
One day a little girl went to Mr.. Jen'
nings and made this naive and sincere
explanation: please, MI. Jennings, my
brother Willie stepped on a bee, but il
was an accident and he got right off,"

color is not generally understood, and
it is best not to attempt anything too
startling. A touch of color, such as
blue, green, red or white, against any
dark material often lightens a gown
amazingly and makes it more becom'
ing, but there are very Few people who
can wear unusual colors, and there are
very few dressmakers or tailors who
know just what one Of the many new
shades Of color is appropriate With
the heavy material Of which the gown
is composed. However, among the
more expensive models for winter
gowns this fashion Of striking con-
trasts in trimming will be very notice
able, and is a safe one to copy advised

Each of Them Carried a Pistol in His
Hand.

All of sudden, and with no seeming
excuse for it, the dog, who had halted
near the front door, set up a howl and
came rushing back at us in a savage
manner. We were all startled and up
set. and in the confusion Chapman and
did a thing we were never able to ex-
plain afterwards.
We hurled ourselves against the door,
and acted so quickly that neither of the
burglars had time to fire a shot when
we had them safer than in prison. All
we had to do was to arouse the town
and open the door in the presence of
armed men, and they came out numbly
enough to go to trial and receive a
sentence of ten years apiece. The third
man had not accompanied us to the viii
lage and the bank, and therefore made
good his escape.
AS for the dog, he proved to be one
of the village ours, but the Pottsville
bank adopted him from that night on
and saw that ne wanted for nothing

wREs1IE WITH CURLY BUG.
St. Paul and Minneapolis Combating
Epidemic Caused by Insect.

ST. Paul. Mimi, Aug. 5.-The medical
profession of St. Paul and Minneapolis
is wrestling with brand new bug. Doc
tors have been within the last six weeks
called on to combat an epidemic that
displayed, in its original symptoms, all
the characteristics of diphtheria. On eX-
animation it has been shown that the
bacillus of diphtheria did not exist in
the threats of the patients. and that
instead there was a virulent looking
bug, described by psychologists as a
Spirillum.
Plainly speaking. it is a curly bug,
instead of a straight one. Tests made
at the university indicate that Mime
apoIis and st. Paul, as well as adjacent
towns are in the throes of a more or less
severe epidemic of a disease known as
s"Vincent's angina 1t is described as a
form of pseudo-diphtheria, forming a
membrane in the throat almost exactly
like that developed in true diphtheria,
but leaving none of the i'll effects that
so frequently ensue from this disease.
The duration of the disease is from five
to 10 days.
1t is seldom if ever fatal, but it's sim
ilitude in it's early stages to diphtheria
often leads to an unnecessary quaran-
tine and application Of anti-toxin.

TURTLE FIGHTS MAN.
Bits Out a Piece of Rubber Boot and
the Calf of His Leg.

Port Jervis N. Y, Aug. 5.-Robert
Hopkins. overseer of the Lake Gene
ovese estate, a new summer resort near
Birmingham, Sullivan county, who has
been clearing the lake of turtles, caught
a sixry-pound swapping turtle, and sue
ceeded in getting the big fellow into the
boat when it turned on him.
Hopkins wore rubber boots and he
kicked at it. The turtle caught the boot
by the toe taking a piece out of it
and barely missing taking the mans
big toe with it. In the struggle Hop
kins fell to the bottom of the boat. The
snapper bit the calf of his leg through
rubber boot and trousers. and tore a
big piece of flesh.
Hopkins regained his feet and with a
loose boat seat turned the turtle on its
back and rowed to shore. His wound
was treated by Port Jervis physicians.
