Fine Indian Photographs.

We recently published an illustra'
non of Indian Twins which should
nave been credited to Major Lee Moore
house of Pendelton, Oregon, who mas
prrhaps one of the best collection OF
Irdian pictures of the north west:
Major Moorehouse's famous pictures OF
-nn Cayuse Twins has had more re-
ignition, perhaps, than any other
indian photograph ever taken and ne
has now issued an album contalnlhe
nrher striking pictures. The Last
outpost of Dying Race is plctur-
r~,luc photograph of Il Ion" Indian tcpSe
or wigwam with background OF darR
,andscape, suggestive in the extreme
of the title of the picture. Many OF
the Moorehouse pictures attracted
much attention at the Lewis ana

1t is now the Decider's moment to
step in. Pretending to have noticed
the chiffon velvet, for the first time,
she thrusts out perfectly, gloved
hand, and eagerly catches hold Of an
end of the material. She hangs it up
against her tingure, and looks at it
admiriugly. The doubtful lady looks
annoyed, gives the chiffon tug, but
the Deciaer holds on.
of you are not going to buy this
dress length" she says, Il will take it.
1t is the only one | suppose" she adds,
turning to the attendant and is told
it is.
Meanwhile the genuine customer has
observed the exquisite turn out OF
the eager "sale-hawk," as she i'm.
agineS the Dccider to be. If 81 elr-
giant a person is anxious to buy the
stuff it must be worth securing, she
argues. so without further doubt she
says sharply;
"But | am going to take it." The
transaction is closed. and the seeming
ly chagrined Decider disappears,
Having settled this little business of
the chiffon velvet she sails off to the
fur department.
Here she fixes on sallowfaced
young wife, who has brought her hus
hand to help in the choice of set OF
furs.
"Do you like it. dear?" the lanky
girl-wife asks, holding up a white boa
as s22 too much for this, and the
muff?"
She has s40o year of her own, and
he has his pay as a lieutenant in the
artillery, so he decides to be gracious
mo, $22 isn't too much" he re-
plies, but isn't the whole thing bit
too light-for-" he stops.
Then another is brought out but he
objects to it too. "1 hate these ashy-
cuiored things" he says petulantly.
"Oh, take it or
Well, dear, what am to do? You
think the first one is too light and
the other one is too ashy." The tone
is despairing. =.
Try this one on again madam
says the saleswoman, and the wife
turns to take it but it is gone. She
finds herself confronted with the ele-
giant figure of the Decider. who has
arrayed herself in the boa and a Dol
ster muff.
The young wife looks at her nus
band and sees his eyes fixed on the
charming vision of bright hair, bright
ewes. cleaning teeth, and warm COM
r,lcxion, set off by the fluffy softness
of the boa and muff. Entirely for
g. full of her own sallow appearance,
she quickly makes up her mind to
have that boat is so very becoming

band, that this is just what / want

husband is still gazing at the pretty

answers her jerkily.
