eyes were fixed on the bon-bon dish

Usage Tribe viii Soon Have Perished
From the Earth.


Few realize that one of the fast.
vanishing tribes Of Indians forms the
richest nation" In the world
These Indians, known as the Osages,
abide on a reservation in the northeast
corner of Oklahoma. The government
for many years has held a large sum
In trust for them, until even now there
Is but a vague idea as to their indi-
wdual wealth. It is well known that
every Indian-brave, squaw and pa
poose-on the reservation has at least
$4,000 or $4,000 to his or her name in
the governments keeping, as well as a
quarter section OF land in the Usage
reservation. This land which has re-
Gently been developed, shows almost
lnexhaustible resources. These lndi-
ans have accumulated wealth under
the paternal policy of the government.
Their chief amusement consists Of
visiting, which the broad hospitality Of
the west makes an exceedingly mex
pensiye pastime Their wants, being
few, make slight demands on their re-
sources in the way of food and cloth
ing AT the same time the word
work is an abomination to them.
They lease their lands to small farm
ers and cattlemen and devote most Of
their time to strenuous avoidance OF
anything like labor.
The Usage reservation consists, in
round numbers, of about $4,000, 900
acres OF land. which was originally
leased by about twenty-five cattlemen
/ at an annual rental of s45, 900 a year.
but with the advent Of the small farm
er these broad acres have been cut UP
into small sections of land and are
proving exceedingly remunerative to
the tenants as well as to the Indian
landlords.
