the Territory. provide that the lease
IL not transferable without the con
sent Of the Secretary of the Interior.
the secretary has ordered the Indian

The history Of the drum goes back
to the childhood OF the world. The
Greeks ascribe its invention to Bac-
chus. The Egyptians had It at least
1000 years before Christ. Pizarro
found drums In South American tenn

told, fed from the island before the
drumbeats of st. Patrick. Our Puri-
tan ancestors used the drum as a
church bell. When Sir Edmund Andres

been discounted Sometimes several
fights would follow In succession, when
the "plebe" would say: Gentlemen, l

found out what was In progress and

They Tell n Dinersnt story.

There are peculiarities OF our Eng
lish language which no other language
exhibits. Did you ever notice how
many English words are formed by
simply dropping alternate ietters-f0r
example. wheat, heat eat, at; sham,
ham, am; wheel, heel, eel; whale. hale,
ale, and scores of others?
Again, we have In our mother tongue
two words which. Joined together,
make a distinct word Of an entirely
different meaning. Just as a single
word disJolnted does Take the words
''since" and rely" or the separate
word Sincerely" TO illustrate:
Your letter came. In words that tempt me
dearly
You wrote them. sweet. most truly and
sincerely.
For praise like that heroes might gladly
die,
But on another's love you since rely.

An Indian Sea serpent Legend.

The red men OF the west have many
curious legends concerning the rivers,
lakes and mountains Of that region,
none more weird than that which In
told concerning Rock lake. Washing
ton. Since time out of memory the
Indian tribes of that vicinity believed
the lake to be inhabited by sea mon
ster which never grows old and whose
chief diet Is indian flesh. According
to the legend, no Indian ever entered
its waters and returned therefrom
alive, no matter whether the rash act
was committed by approaching its mar
gin for a drink, for plunge and q
swim or for canoe ride upon its
placid bosom. All OF the Indians OF
the northwest know of the terrorp OF
Rock lake, and each and every Ono
would prefer death with poisoned ar
row rather than to touch its waters.
The last Rock lake horror, according
- the legend, -zpas do 1ese, wivn q
whole band of noble red men were
sent to the happy hunting grounds by
the monster.

Where the severe tailor-made, how

an incongruity which no well-dressed

this kind only a moderate fullness at
the shoulder is permitted. the cuff

SOME NEW AUTUMN HATS
Description of the Prettiest Seen in
and About New York-Dolly
Warden Shape
by BEATRICE DOWLER


Special Gable to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.--Acting upon
the assumption that a detailed descrip-
tion of a few of the newest and pret-
test autumn, hats is worth more than
columns of general observation con-
cerning the millinery of the hours let
me award the prize for elegance and
pictorial effect to the Lamballe model.
The hat in way recalls the Eng
lish Dolly Warden shape, and is very
simply trimmed with a mass or
plumag2 or flowers on the crown and
at the back, with a ribbon bow and
hair-colored tulle that popular brown
shade that does not appear to talter
as a fashionable millinery accessory.
One such hat shown to me last week
had a brim of stretched taupe-colored
satin and a crown made of handsome
ribbon covered with blurred pattern
in fuchsia and rose, while waving on
high were the handSomest ostrich
feathers, each quite short and with the
tip curved down gracefully over the
brim
With fervent hope that the little
feathers used for the autumn plumage
hat are only those of the barndoor
fowl or game birds, let me chronicle
an absolute furore for such millinery
and in all shapes. One model has a
crown of shaded green plumage and
a brim of wool-brown braid straw,
which is, of course, much more SUBJ
stantial than chip or leghorn, and thus
more autumnal and another is made
OF all the most delicate creams, browns,
and a dash of orange folded as if 1t
were velvet as regards the crown and
given a rolled brim.
Ribbon and wings are the two prom
inent adjuncts Of the millinery world
at present with the exception of os-
trich feathers, which are always In
fashion, and marabout, to be used this
autumn in the form of huge. soft POM
poms. Some of the turbans with their
pointed fronts and draped crowns need
nothing more than a sufficlency of rib
bon to trim them
Very piquant is the appearance of
such a hat when trimmed with a sash
of excessively rich ribbon, as stiff in
texture as the old Coventry pieces were
In the days when book markers were
In fashion as keepsakes,
The question Of the long or short
sleeve is just now agitating the mind
OF the women of fashion to an extent

don Il for that Of a more sensible
length. The same applies to the more
elaborate description OF coat.
All the small coats OF an ornate
character. IN fact. are to be furnished
with sleeves which, II not actually Of
elbow length, are very rarely longer
The "little morer Is, however, very
