spent the first night at the scaffold without any extra covering from the cold. and saved herself from freezing to death by maintaining dog-trot about the structure until morning. Soon after daylight she returned to her tepee, and as she sat warming her feet at the fire old Kettle" who had heard her cries in the night. put in an ap- pearance and proceeded to show how sorry he was over the loss of his wife by giving the widow the buffalo robe he used for his bed. and all the warm blankets he possessed.
 On the same day. also. it happened that "Johnnie's" son. a promising young Sioux. arrived at home after graduating in something at Carlyle, bringing with him the widows daugh- ter, Little Mouse, who had been pupil for a couple of years at the same place. The two youngsters while on the way agreed to marry as soon as they could gather together enough means to buy canvas for tepee. and now regarded with much apprehension the beginning of the impoverishment of their par ents. They finally put their young heads together and concocted scheme to profit by the custom.
 The young man hastened to the tepee of the widow and. praising the time honored custom of his people in giving gifts as an evidence of grief. became the beneficiary of nearly all that the poor woman possessed
 While this was going on the widows daughter attempted to comfort old Kettle and was duly rewarded by gifts of horses and sheep.
 The news of the death Of old John ny and the wife of Kettletop spread quickly among the lodges. and many people gathered. hoping to share in the gifts custom demanded should be dis tributed by the mourIers. Unfortu- nately for their hopes. the imporerish- ment of the beresved couple had been fully accomplished before their arrival. and they soon thereafter dispersed empty-handed-

FOLLOW DIRECTIONS
Alienist Claims Natural Age
 Is a Hundred.
ANTACON1zES THE OSLER THEORY
Health Commissioner Darlington of New York HolSs With Scriptures That ThreescOre and Ten Are
 Years of Mans Life.

NEW YORK, July 24-If you want to live to be 100 years old and retain the best of your faculties. thus controvert- ing the Osler theory that man acquires no knowledge after forty, it is but necessary to follow the directions laid down by Sir James C. Browne of Lon don.
 Sir James is well known to the medi- cal profession as the author of many works on nervous and mental diseases, and his opinion is generally held in much esteem
 This famed alienist in an address be- fore the public health congress in the English capital announced that the natural age of man was 100 years and that 1t was foolish for him to die ear Her
 He antagonized the theor, of Dr. William Osler, formerly of the Johns Hopkins university, at Baltimore, and now ef Oxford, England, who declared that man of forty knew all that he ever would and that after sixty he was only fit for the chloroform sponge.
 In contradistinction to Dr. Osler's theory that of Sir James C. Browne is that man does much good work after he is sixty and that it should be in- stilled into children that by following certain simple rules they will attain the century mark in years He said that every man was entitled to live to this grand age and that women should have even greater stretch of life.
 A number of New York physicians have been approached on the subject, with the result that Sir James theory is not upheld here Dr. Walker, who is in charge of Dr. William T. Bulls hospital and practice in the latter's absence, said he was not prepared to say just how long man should live. should he follow carefully certain method of living, but that he doubted if a century could be taken as the average.
 Dr. Thomas Darlington. health com missioner of this city. said: "In the first place. am believer in the Scriptures. and they certainly say the threescore and ten are the years of mans life. am rather inclined to the theory of Dr. Osler.
 "Whatever a man does after he is { forty years of age is done with the knowledge acquired between the ages of twenty and forty. After forty he does not readily acquire knowledge, but makes good use of that he got earlier in life.
 ] After sixty a man may he of great service to the world, but he does the work with knowledge acquired before that age.
 "A man is as old as his arteries When these vessels begin to harden he is about ready to begin to see the end Although by reason of unusual strength persons might reach the age of 1OC years. it is not the natural period Of human life. In this era men are worn out long before 100 years have come to them because of the immense amount of work they are called upon to do.
 Modern sanitation and surgery have undoubtedly decreased the death rate and increased the longevity of man 1 High living and long life do not har monize. and the simpler a man lives the longer he is apt to live"

RIOT AT WEDDING.
Poles Resent Arrest of Friends and
 Threaten Police.

LATROBE. Pa. July 24.--Riot and probable murder resulted from the eel ebration of Polish wedding at Bag galley, a mining town near Latrobe. Steven Bono. whose skull was crushed during the fight. is reported to be in a dying condition. News of the fracas reached Latrobe when physician was sent for to attend the injured man.
 A posse of officers accompanied the physician and upon reaching the town found the festivities still in progress. Approaching the house, they were met by mob of foreigners who resented their attempt to arrest Bono's assail- ants and tried to drive them out of town. The officers by firing their re- volvers over the beads of the crowd succeeded in frightening them away and arrested John Cobol and Mike Fieeman. John Kuzlus, the third man wanted by the officers, escaped.

INDIAN 0BSEQUIES|
CEREMONIALS ARE HELD I'M
 PoRTANT BY SIOUX.
A Few Still Keep to Old Custom of Placing Dead on High Sca6old-
 Public cLamentation-Poor Kettletop.

The American Sioux Indians, in common with all our primitive peo- ples, are inclined to place great impor- tance upon ceremonials, and to give rigid adherence to the practices of their ancestors.
 Until within comparatively recent period the custosi has prevailed among all the Sioux peoples, including the Yanktons, Crows, Brules anG other branches of this great aboriginal fam fly, to place the bodies of their dead, swathed in skins or cloths, upon high scaffolds out of reach of and protected from carniverous beasts and birds.
 All through the night for week or more after the death of husband or child. the Sioux wife or mother. in fol- lowing the ancient custom, mourns audibly for the dead
 The intensity of the sorrow of the mourners who observe the ancient practice is usually indicated by the liberality of their gifts during the mourning season. Horses and brides, blankets and ornaments, all go as trib- utes to this venerable and ostentatious exhibition of grief.
 Old Kettletop, living over on the Keya-Paha, a tributary of the Nio- brara, lost his wife one cold winter day few years ago, and after the body had been duly swathed and placed upon a scaftold near his tepee the old warrior wandered about in the night over the snow-covered prairie to show how sorry he was. and how little regard he had for health and life now that his good wife had been taken from him.
 It so happened that in the same day his nearest neighbor Johnny Whit tlestick," as he was called on the agency rolls. because his Indian name was unpronounceable, died after brief illness, and his widow at once began to indulge in nightly lamentations. Possessing . pair of well developed lungs, she made the night hideous for awhile by her long drawn out parox- ysms of lamentations. pitched at a high key, so that her neighbors might know how very sorry she was.
