A kIOWA BALL DRESS.
Robe Worn by Savage Woman Is oil
Immense Value.


Mr.. L. C. Reisner of Lancaster. Pa.
Is the owner of an Indian woman's
buckskin dress trimmed with elk teeth
which is believed to be one of the
most valuable garments of this sort
now in existence. Over L 500 elk tusks
cover this squaw dress, and most OF
them are good specimens. They rep
resent, of course, the death of not less
than $50 bull elks. 1t is not known
where all the elks were obtained The
garment was finished in 1874, and was
used as state robs for the wife OF
Little Boy, chief of the Kiowa tribe. II
became one of the state robes of that
people, and after the death of the
chiefs wife, was worn by Kiowa Anna
reigning belle of the tribe 1t was
lost by the Kiowas in a skirmish with
another tribe Chief Lone Wolf, its
next owner, gave it to his niece, Ida
Lone Wolf, who sold it three years
ago to an Indian collector, who in
turn sold it to Mr.. Reisner There is
perhaps no ball dress of America
which has a longer and more authen-
tic history, nor is there any ball dress
of white woman which has more
value than this savage woman's robe

WHERE STEVENSON GOT IDEA.
"Dr. JekyiI and Mr.. Hyde" Had Foun-
dation in Real Life.

dation in Real Life.
Among weird fiction there are few
novels to compete with THE Strange
Story of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE" and
the story of it's inception is almost as
strange as the work itself.
Stevenson, it appears, had dealings
with a man named Samuel Creggan,
and did not like him. Hes a man
who trades on the Samuel" averred
the novelist. He receives you with
SamuePs smile on his face; but every
now and then you catch a glimpse of
the Creggan peeping out like a white
ferret Creggan's the real man; Sam
uel's only superficial
This was what gave Stevenson the
first idea for the dual personality of
Jekyn and Hyde, but he did not begin
to write.
One night, however, Mrs. Stevenson,
awakened by cries of horror from her
husband, and thinking that he had a
nightmare, aroused him. He was quite
angry.
why did you wake me?' he asked.
81 was dreaming a fine DOGGY tale %
He got up at once ami began writing
in q sort of fever. His biographer,
Mr.. Osborne, says that it is doubtful
whether the first draft took him so
long as three days.

At the sound of something that rang
in his laughter, the girl got up from

The rain had broken into the plans
of the pleasure seekers. 1t had forced
them to the shelter of the cabins at
the foot of the mountain, and in good
natured, friendly groups they traiied
through the long mountain-top grass,
their faces wet with the fog that hung
in a heavy cloud in the stunted trees
above them.
AS the girls passed, eyes blue and
black and brown challenged Gray, but
he only shook his head. He wanted
his pipe and solitude, and he declared
that it was his imperative duty to re-
main behind not only to see that the
mules were well packed but in order
to bring all the lost things down the
mountain, from handkerchiefs to girls.
In spite of the reproach in more
than one pair of bright eyes he let
them all pass. He noticed that the
mist was settling thicker, but the
mountain was as familiar to him as
the outlines of his own hand, and, in
cheerful unconcern, he smoked pipe
after pipe.
A distant call from somewhere in
the muff1ing fog reused him from his
reverie. 1t was a woman's voice.
Some one of them had Jagged behind
and had been lost among the dozen
cattle trails that ran in a bewildering
network across the mountain.
YES" he shouted. He got to his
feet, knocked the tobacco from his
pipe, stuffed it in his pocket and
plunged in the direction of the calling
voice. Now it sounded family from
the right, now from the left; now it
died away to. come again from an en-
tirely new direction, and from what
sounded like a great distance.
Keep still" he shouted ct will
never find youi" There was an i'm
perative ring in his voice, Now call"
AS the voice called louder, buoyed
and strengthened by the knowledge
of his human nearness, he plunged
into the Opaque mist curtain, and in
moment, guided by the sobbing sound
of painting breath, he had almost STUN
bled upon the girl
"Oh," she cried in passionate relief
as her rescuer came up to her, ''how
good it is to be found! 1t hasn't
been more than a century has it? But
you will find them for me, won't you?
They were just ahead. l lost them
all in minute-and then the path

to get back to the cave. We had
agreed on the cave in case of trouble
but l could not find it. l lost my head
the loneliness was desperate. 1t over
mastered me. and the fog caught me
by the throat" She sank down on
log, trembling violently, and began to
sob like little child.
When the sound had twisted and
strained Gray's heartstrings until
1t was physical impossibility to en-
dure it longer. he touched her arm
gently. please don't" he said.
The fog's lifting a little. I'll get you

TWILL KILL A CAT.

"Years ago, physician, soaked in
little water, enough tobacco to make
cigarette and then injected this to-
bacco juice under the skin of a large
cat, and in twenty minutes it died in
commissions.
what will kill big Cat so quick
ly, cannot be good for small boy.
If you see a boy rubbing sand into his
eyes, you would think that he was
crazy, but is it not as idiotic to smoke
cigarettes that ruin brain, nerves and
digestion?
The tobacco is packed so closely in
the cigarette that the smoker gets the
full benefit of not only the nicotine,
but also of the poisonous gases, and
this is one reason why the cigarette is
a greater curse than the pipe or the
cigar.
Cigarette smoking shrivels up the
nerve cells so that the cigarette smok-
er's brain is soon crippled. He can
not think as clearly nor as rapidly as
other boys, and for this reason such a
boy never attains to a high scholar
ship. AS his resistance to disease be-
comes less, he becomes more liable to
contract typhoid fever, pneumonia and
other infectious diseases, and he will
die from them much more readily than
the boy who has not soaked his
tissues with this poison"
