evening, at o'clock
The Merchant of Venice was one of
the hooks studied by the class in their
English course under Miss Foster, and
this presentation of these scenes from

study of the book aroused.
1t will be simply staged. While it
will be costumed and given with as
many of the accessories as possible
the emphasis has been laid upon it's
literary rather than upon its dramatic
qualities.
The music is in charge of Miss Ger

the scenes will be a feature.
There will be no charge for admission.
All of the friends of the school and
any interested in the play are cordi-

HAVE YOU MATING
ON YOUR FLOORS?

If you have used it for any length
of time you no doubt feel that mat
ting is not exactly the cleanliest or
healthiest thing you could use. Damp
air often makes the odor of mating
unpleasant. And mating is so widely
used that to have it on your floors
makes them look common. From an
Eastern manufacturer we have secured
a substitute for mating. 1t does no.
cost much more to put down than mat
ting and makes your rooms look cosy
and comfortable. It viii wear and look
well longer than mating and unless
you are very familiar with the goo Is
you cannot tell it from a Brussels car
pet after it is down. All fine carpet
patterns are copied in these goods. 1t
is good for every room of your house

DEMAND FOR ALLIGATOR SKINS.
Nearly 100000 Saurian Hides Annually
Tanned in the United States.

Occasionally attempts to utilize the
COURAGEOUS epidermis of alligators iii
leather manufacture have been made
for over 100 years or more, but not with
much success until 1856. when this novel
leather became somewhat fashionable
and a considerable demand developed.
The market, however, was not long con-
tinued, and after a few thousand hides
had been shipped from the gulf states
the demand ended.
During the Civil war another raid was
made upon these saurians to supply shoe
material, and they were again slaugh-
tered in thousands, but with the cessa-
ton of hostilities and the restoration of
free commerce in shoe material. the al
iigators were again left to repose for a
period.
This rest, however, was only tempo
rary, for about 1869 tickle fashion again
called for the leather for manufacturing
into fancy slippers, boots, travelling bags,
belts, cardcases, music rolls, and so
forth. An immense demand was soon
created for il, resulting in the slaughter
of many thousands of the animals every
year, giving employment to hundreds of
men. The demand soen exhausted the
productive capacity of our country, and
large numbers of skins were imported
from Mexico and Central America. The
consumption of this leather is greater
than ever before, and. owing to the large
importations, the market price is some
what less than a few years ago. The
output of the tanneries of the United
States approximates 10000 skins an
nually, worth about $4,000. 1t is Il
characteristic of all aquatic leather-in-
deed OF all leathers-that they are Gu
uously checkered in oblong divisions,
known as scales" or bosses sepa-
rated by intersecting grooves, and vary
ing in size and character from the rough
smooth, phahle markings on other parts
of the body, giving the skin that peculiar
effect which makes it SO popular for
leather purposes.
There are several distinct varieties of
alligator skins on the market, the most
important being the Floridian. Louisi-
anian and Mexican; each differs from
the others in certain we'll defined char-
acteristics, and owing TO these differ
ences each variety has its special uses,

THE VANISHING OsACFs
Luxurious Life Is Thinning Them Out AZ

Usage Indians for thirty-three years. al

non is that III twenty-five years more
there will not be full-blood Usage left
when | first went among the Osages
the tribe comprised between 5000 and
5000 people. Now there are but 1900 or
1900 of them. including. of course. ali
those of mixed blood. The Osagps have
point of numbers in the last four or five
years, but they are doomed to 20 the
way of their fellows.
The dying out of the race is due in
large measure to the change in their bah
its of life. They used TO he out in the
open air all the time, and when they
travelled it was always on horseback,
Even when they moved their camps each
Indian would round up his string Of
ponies and make pack animals of sx or
eight of them, to carry his belongings.
Now they ride about in buggies and car
riages, the best to be had They are
rich enough to afford all the luxuries Of
that sort, and, with no incentive 10 eXer-
ton, their lives are about as far removed
from their former habits Of activity as
could be.
Il was present at the council near In
dependence, Kas.. when the treaty was
signed by which the tribe surrendered to
the government the Usage coded lands
in southern Kansas. and purchased in
their stead the million and a half acres
from the T:,erOkees. which they have
since occupied. That trade was a good
thing for the Osages. They got Sl.25 per
acre for the land. and the deferred pay
ments were to draw per cent. interest.
That mounted up rapidly and is the
source of the annuities which the Osages
enjoy today.
Those were the good old days which
the Indians always speak of as the 'huf-
falo days | went out on the plains
with them in their hunts for years. On
west from the Usage nation there used
to be times when one could see buffalo
for miles and miles At a distance it
looked like dark. surging sea. Ia one
