ines of the Southwest.
 The 2300 Cheyennes and Araphoes existing in Southwestern Oklahoma are mostly primitive pagans. They. or their ancestors, formerly lived In Colo rado and Western Kansas. As related by Matt Duhr says The Kansas City Journal these Amerinds worship the sun. They torture themselves for the sins of their deceased relatives by con tinued fasting and by cutting severe gashes in their arms. legs and breasts. It Is their inherent nature to take more interest in the welfare of their dead friends than in their own.
 The Cheyennes and Arapahoes have been and still are to some extent po- lygamous. Their excuse for plurality of wives is the same as is, held by the Mormons Unfaithful spouses are for ever disregarded and are not permitted to enter a decent wigwam. Murderers and other heinous criminals are not killed, but must live alone in the will derness the remainder of their lives. Wife-buying used to be-and still Is brisk business among these redskins. Female papooses are bought or bid for with one or more ponies before they are weaned. Some extra pretty female infants are in great demand. The pa rents take the horses. use or sell them
 
 enough to be taken away by the high est bidders. The Cheyennes consider themselves high above the Arapahoes; Cheyennes very seldom purchase an Arapahoe female.
 They receive only small annuities from the Government, having only about $1,000. 900 in the National Treas ury. They dig and consume large quantities of turnip-like tubers that grow very abundantly on the South Canadian River! They abhor opos- sums. but relish deer and coons. though they never eat any of the bird kinds.
 They are mortally afraid of hoot owls. believing that these birds are reincarnated had 'Injuns."

G. E. PIERCE 3 CO.'S COTTON LETTER

(By Private wire rom GlDerL & Clay.J
 New Orleans, March 23.-A very quiet contract market in Liverpool infu- enced by sales on orders from the conti- nent. Little offering but less wanted' tersely expressed the spot situation in one cable. At the close options were un- changed to one point lower and spots four points lower on sales of 5000 bales.
 Weakness developed around our opening on selling principally by room traders. After a small decline had been registered the market steadied on buying induced by cables reporting that peace between Russia and Japan was not very remote. The move ment is still most liberal and weather conditions good generally. Spots, how ever were in slightly better demand, which helped materially in maintaining the small improvement in contract values. Other in- teresting features were entirely absent and the volume of trading most modest.
 Interest is languid and strong opinions in- conspicuous, resulting in complete absence of aggressiveness and making fluctuations susceptible to comparatively trivial causes. As a consequence a scalping market will most probably obtain for while.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
SELLING CHECKED BY REPORTS OF
 WITHDRAWALS.
At Decline Spot Houses Were Seen buying and Private Reports of Renewed Eirmness Strengthened Mar
 ket Considerably.

New York. March 23.--The cotton market was quiet but selling was checked by re- ports that interior holders were withdraw ing spot offerings on the decline. and with . moderate demand for covering aii from spot houses. the market ruled generally steady with final prices showing a slight net gain.
 The opening was steady at unchanged prices to decline of points in response to the cables and following the call prices slipped off another two or three points on the active months under a continuation of the scattering liquidatidn and bear pressure noted during the previous day. At the decline spot houses were seen to be buying and with private reports from the South indicating greater firmness in the spot situation the market began to do bet ter. with yesterdays sellers covering and some demand for long account from scalp ing interests who followed the lead of the big spot houses.
 Quotations gradually worked upward dur ing the middle session. and at the close were within a point two of the best, at 1@b points higher. Sales of futures S mated at 150.000 bales

MARKET BROKE

Offering today of $25,O0O, 900 New York City bonds made heavy require ments on the money market. Next month the S100. .0O0. 900 Pennsylvania bond subscription. an installment of all but ten per cent of the Japanese loan and withdrawal of an installment of the government gold deposits are to be provided for. The inability of the money market to meet all these re- quirements was decidedly less prob able than a period of an advance in the price of stocks.
 News of the Milwaukee bank defal- cation caused ineveitable unsettlement again and gave force to a feeling of uneasiness as to effect of the losses in the wheat collapse. Reaction in prices carried the Union Pacific to the low est point of the day and made a broad inrOad on the recovery which had been established during the middle portion of the day and made the close very weak.
 The remarkable rise of the Louisville and Nashville attracted attention to published reports of plans for the for nation of a great trunk line from the north to the south by a combination of existing properties. These stocks relapsed equally with the hest of the market in the late reduction. Great northern preferred late in the day sold at a decline of 29 points from last week. which may have helped the late reaction. Bonds were irregular.

A Parrot'a Pets,

A parrot which has several spar
row proteges is quite unusual, but
parrots are, IS every one knows,
great mimics, and this parrot is
owned by man who is fond of
birds, and when eating his meals
out of doors, as he often does in
summer, he is in the habit of feed
ing crumbs to all the birds around,
which have become so tame that
they often hop right down on the
table.
The parrot used to watch his mas
ter throwing crumbs to the birds,
and now the clever little creature
amuses himself by throwing seeds
from his cage, much to the joy of
his less fortunate fcathered play
mates.-Philadelphia Ledger.
