\ MASTADON STORY.

One of the features of the opening ex-
ercises was parade, which was led by
squad of mounted police, behind which
marched the Perry. o. T.. band, and after
them came the Indians. Next came the
Coyle rough rider band. and behind them
was the ancient stage coach, piled full
of newspaper men. Behind all rode about
sixty cow boys. When at one end of the
stockade the whole line broke-and started
at gallop. When about half way across
the enclosure, one of the mules driven
to the stage coach stumbled and fell
dragging the others with it. until the whole
team Of four mules were piled up in

ing unable to ride a horse, was riding on

There is a time honored custom among
the Indians that the advisory council
should be chosen from among the best
hunters of the tribe The last council
for this tribe was chose ntwenty-five |
years ago At that time they lived far
ther north, and the buffalo were plenti- |
full. Since that time the buffalo have al |
most entirely disappeared, and the tribes !
Of Indians are dwindling in almost the |
same proportion. 1t is probable that by |
the time it will be necessary to choose |
another council, the buffaloes will have |
passed away, and the few re-
Indians will have thrown aside |
their paint and feathers and become thor
oughly civilized.
Yet there is room for thought in the
fact that in what would seem compara
lively short time a nation has almost
passed away. and. likewise, species of
animal once as plentiful as the blades of
grass. are also passed from existence.
