INDIANS EASTER STYLES
Ludicrous Results of the Imitation of
the Paleface Fashions.

Ludicrous Results of the Imitation of
the P%aleface Fashions.
Chicago Inter Ocean: Easter Sun
day, With its new spring hats and
gowns, brings pangs Of envy to many
feminine hearts, and the little town of
Arapahoe, Okla, where the Arapahoe
Indians have chosen to set a pace in
fashion, is no exception to the rule.
Ever since the paleface came alnong
them in their Oklahoma home the
Arapahoe Indians have essayed to be
the best dressed Of any Of their red
~lleighbors. An Arapahoe buck will go
without food III order to have the lat
est fashion in neckwear. He may not
tie it according to The prevailing fash
ion among white men, but if the color
be gaudy he will arrange it in a flash
ing that will attract equal at
tention.
For some years past the village Of
Arapahoe, which is mainly populated
with Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians,
has been the scene of great parades Of
Indian ~tashionables on Easter Sunday.
At daylight the squaWs and bucks be-
gin to parade the streets clad in gay
trappings. The bucks wear the latest
cut of white mems clothing, but the
goods are not always of fine texture
nor neatly fitting. On the other hand.
they are always of gaudy pattern.
Many of them wear silk hats and light
tan shoes. Their makeup is rather
rude and especially SO when they don
a high collar that has never been to a
laundry and on which finger marks
may be plainly seen at a distance of
several feet.
The squaws wear loud colors in lawn
and calico dresses, but the hat is the
browning feature These hats are piled
high with paper roses. and long green
or red ribbons trail behind for several
feet. Milliners who visit Arapahoe say
that some of the squaws have as many
as fifty ape roses put on a single hat,
which woui rake it weigh not less
than ten pounds. An amusing thing
among The bucks is the awkward man
ner in which some of them carry canes
made out OF old umbrella handles.
The Indians got the idea of coming
forth in spring costumes on Easter
from q delegation Of their people h
went to Washington to attend an in
auguration. They were in New York
on Easter Sunday and saw the parade
of fashionables on Fifth avenue.

Quarantine, waiting the arrival of the
Umbria.
She had not long to wait. The liner
was already threading her way
through the Narrows, looming bigger
and yet ever bigger to the handful of
men on the little steamer. Straight
she steered for Quarantine; arrived
there she came to a stop all suddenly,
her engines heaving and throbbing,
and while the quarantine doctor
scrambled up one side the Postmaster
General made fast to the other. Then
up to the overlapping deck of the liner
the mailboat sent chute, and it had
scarcely been secured in place when a
bullying mail bag slid from the broad
shoulders of sailor into the chute,
and the next moment it landed upon
the deck of the Postmaster General.

After that it literally rained mail
bags on the mail boats deck. As fast
as they fell eight pairs of hands grabb-
ed them and threw them right and left,
while the ninth man stood ut the foot
of the chute and as bag rolled upon
the deck the counter in his hand tick

by the liners purser at the head of the
chute.
For half an hour the bags followed
each other with clOck-like precision
down the chute from the deck where
they had been piled up under the pur-
ser's direction as the liner was steam

antine officers having given the ship
clean bill of health, the liner got I'M

the 1000 odd impatient passengers.
But still the Postmaster General
clung like leach to the great black

\ TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
Friend Writes in Memory of Mr.. Sim
w. Hass, Who Died on IAN
uary 10th, 1905.

Often has the messenger of death
been in our midst and borne away the
aged and the young; the care-worn
pilgrim of many years and sorrows,
and the little child in all of its bud
ding freshness and promise.
And now he has come again, aiming
I high and pointing his unerring dart at
our dear friend and relative, Sim w.
Hass.
When first taken sick he felt that he
would not recover, and so intimated
to those who watched over him, but
the thought sent dead anguish to our
hearts. We bore his case on our pc
tition up before our Father in Heaven,
yet the fever continued and he grew
weaker and the kind physicians said
he must die.
1t was quiet, peaceful night with
out, but it was a dark, sad hour in
that house, for the devoted husband,
kind and affectiOnate father was lin
gering on the threshold of eternity.
SO slowly was the life-tide ebbing
away, while out from the earth-life
his lone bark was drifting through
the mist and shadows, but angels
were lifting with invisible fingers the
gates of the skies.
Just about the midnight hour on the
night of January 10th, 1905, he
quietly fell asleep in the dear Savior's
arms. 1t was so hard to see him
breathe away his useful life and
binding tears to look up and
say THY will be done"
We know that our Father loves US,
and that he is wise, good and faithful,
but still the heart will cry out in an
guish, why was Sim taken? He has
gone from his dear ones, his children
and his wife, whom he willingly tOiled
for, and loved as his life. Oh, God |
how mysterious and strange are Thy !
ways, to take from them this loved |
one in the best of his days. How his
dear ones at home long for the touch |
of a vanished hand the sound of a |
voice that's still.
Without his presence the world, in !
deed, seems empty and cherries, and i,
in their hearts is dreary, dismal, |
aching void. He leaves a wife, two !
small children and large circle of
relatives and friends to mourn his
loss, but they mourn not as those who
nave no hope, having the greatest
reason to believe that he is taken from

all the troubles, temptations and hard
ships of this sinful world to forever
enjoy the smiles of his Savior where
the wicked cease from troubling and
the weary are at rest.
He remembered his Creator in the
days of his youth, having joined the
Baptist church when young and al
ways filled his seat unless providen-
TALLY hindered but alas. he is gone
nevermOre to fill his seat militant here
below, but in the church triumphant.
Sim was devoted husband, a kind
father, loyal citizen, true friend,
warm-hearted and social.
BY his excellent qualities he had en-
deared himself to an extended circle
of attached friends and devoted rela-
tives. OF a generous, steadfast dis
position, he was the centre Of a large
share of fond and trusting affections.
Tender memories of his gentle kind
ness will linger with US like the fra
GRANGE that wanders in the freshness
when the flowers that it came from are
closed up and gone.
Everyone is filled with the saddest
regret that so short a period was
allotted to one of such a noble char
acter. For each and every station in
life he brought to the discharge of
every duty all the best qualities of
noble manhood. He was brave, hon
est, faithful and Industrious. But
sometimes the sable pail of death con-
ceals the fairest boon Gods love can |
send.
We must not blame our loving Fa- !
Their because, sometimes when we have |
called, he has not needed our cry. In |
time we shall see how all his plans
were right, for Gods plans, like ILL.,
les pure, and white, unfold. We must
not tear the close-shut leaves apart.
