INDIAN MAGIC.

T. n. Tibbles. Vice Presidential can
didate on the Populist ticket in 1904,
has spent many years on the frontier
and among the Indians. and he can tell
some good stories about Indian magic.
Here is one of them:
"Once during the border days. I found
myself camped near a village OF Paw
nees. The Pawnees paid our camp a
formal visit. and TO amuse them. one
OF our party. who was quite a prestidi-
Eitator did some simple tricks with
cards. otc- The Indians smiled and in
vited US over TO their village the uext
day. where they said they would show
US some Indian tricks
I'VE went The day was fine md sun
ny and about noon We were invited out
on the open prairie TO see the tricks
AS far as We could see there were
no preparations whatever. We stood
around in a big circle outlined by the
chief.
Finally a tall Indian walked out into
the center OF the big ring and ha-
rangued the crowd for few minutes.
Then another Indian came over TO me
and asked if 1 wanted to examine a
deer's head. freshly killed. which he
had brought I looked it over carefully.
1t was all right I was then told to
take. the head into the ring to the
magician.
The Indian didn't have a stitch Of
clothing on, but on the ground lying
near was a red blanket 1 picked up
the blanket and examined it. It like
the deer head. was all right l took
a good look at the Indian, too.
I then paced out to the edge of the
circle, keeping my eye on the Indian
and the deer head.
This head was an ordinary sized one.
and had two big antlers on il And
that Indian picked up that head stuck
one end of an antler in his mouth. and
right before us all gradually swallow
ed II. It took him five minutes to get
II down, but IL gradually went down his
throat or somewhere else But re-
member, he was entirely naked. and
there was no place to hide it,
After finishing the head the Indian
turned around and bowed to the fous
points OF the compass. And then. sud
denly, there stood another Indian he
side him. Where that second Indian
came from none of US could tell He
certainly did not walk across the open
circle
The second Indian reached down. took
up the blanket from the ground and
cast II over the first Indian The blan-
ket gradually sank to the ground and
lay fiat
We white people were beckoned 20
come forward I picked up the blanket.
There was nothing under it, The first
Indian had disappeared. and in his place
at all like the first
''f<ow. all that took place right out
on the open prairie, and in the center
of a ring of whites and Indians 1 had
myself examined the deer's head. had
lifted the blanket from the ground. II
was the greatest piece of magic 1 ever
saw
The modern Indian has to a great
degree lost the power to do these feats
of magic. which the Old time Indian
was versed in. and the best he can do is

Bachelor Habits.

There are not a few women In the world
who have rooted idea that their husbands
should be much home fixture as the
domestic cat, and this little mistake on
their part is an active agent in the propa-
cation of matrimonial woes.
Man is essentially a creature of change.
and monotony is the death blow of many
one-time fierce. burning passion. Conse-
quently the wise woman, knowing this, will
encourage her husband to spend an occa-
sional evening out, recognizing that her
company and that of his home will be bet
ter appreciated if sandwiched in between
night with his old chums or one spent at
the meteorological but innocent club meet
ing.
Early in married life a woman should
recognize this fact and act accordingly.
when her husband suggests going out. she
should smile sweetly, help him to get out
and say: I'm glad you are going out
dear. Don't hurry home" and when he
does come 1t should be to find 4 smiling
wife and a good supper.
This is the sort of marriage which Is sell
dom failure. The husband of such a wife
is always in love with her. and has a habit
of mentally contrasting her with the other
wives of his acquaintance, much to her add
vantage.
There are many worse fellows than the
one who seeks an occasional night out with
his particular chums. Encourage him, lit
tie bride, and don't weep your bonnie eyes
out when he takes you at your word. Never
mind the example of your neighbor who
has husband Of the first-class henpecked
order, says Woman's Life. You do not
blight on your still warm, glowing affection,
and this assuredly will happen if you do
not restrain your passion for an unlimited
dose of your husbands company.

Practical White Cloth.

If one contemplates remaining in the coun-
try. until late In the autumn it is necessary
TO provide at least one smart white or lignt
cloth suit that shall be quite distinct from
the autumn costume designed for OCCASION
al trips to town. This costume should be
quite warmly made. for after the 1st OF
October warm days come seldom, and to
thoroughly enjoy the crispness of Oc-
tober and November weather one must be
completely clad. If the autumn is to be
spent at some fashionable resort a smartly
made white cloth suit will be useful be-
yond words, and white is even more serv-
iceable than a mere distinctive color, for
1t can be cleaned time and again and will
not be easily remembered
Among the white suits this autumn there
are great variety Of models from which
to select. There are short coats and long,
rough materials and smooth cloths, ivory
white, ecru and cream, and there are many
severely simple models that are quite as
smart as those of elaborate design
Among the newest models little pony
Jackets are much in evidence. These coats
give suggestion of the all-pervading en-
pire without having the same loose and SO
often unbecoming lines. This style of
jacket is generally rather fancifully made,
with trimming of embroidery and hand
some lace. Fine lingerie collars and cuffs
or embroidered collars are preferred, as
the lingerie reminds one too forcibly of the
past spring fashions. It is an art at this
time Of year to have all the costumes made
on distinctly the latest models, for so many
women are wearing the gowns that par
TALLY escaped the ravages Of a long spring.
The true bolero will not be SO popular
from now on, as there can be little warmth
In any jacket which does not reach to the
waist line, and is In most cases left unfas-
tened in front There are, however, many
new Elton and blouse jackets which are de-
lightfully smart and quite compensate for
the departed bolero. Refer Jackets are
supposedly fashionable. but this style Of
coat never attains to great popularity, as
1t Is too generally unbecoming. For SIM
pie style Of dress, however, a white serge
suit made with a short. full skirt and half
fitted REFER jacket trimmed only with
black velvet collar. revers and cuffs Is al
ways in good taste. Even the longer coats
are not full three-quarter length this
year. but come to within some three to six
Inches above the knees. fitted Jacket,
single breasted, with rounded coat tails. IL
becoming to almost any figure and Is q
model that 10 just coming into fashion for
q really severe style Of dress.

A W oman's Hair.
from the Atchison Gle

From the AtchisOn Globe.
Women have great times with their hair.
If they visit in a dry climate they are sure
to say when they come home: MY hair
acted lovely; it did not come out of curl
at ALL" If they go where 1t is damp they
say when they come home: 1T was the
worst place for hair my hair was as
straight as a string all the time Once
in three or four weeks they wash their hair
and then they tell each other how they
cannot do thing with their hair, as 1t has
just been washed. For week or two
before 1t Is washed they say 1t is a dis
grace they do not wash their hair; that it
is so sticky they cannot do a thing with
1t. The women are always telling each
other they look horrid with their hair done
low, or else they would not be seen with it
done high. Their hair is either all coming
out or else they cannot imagine what has
happened, but it is coming in thick and
lovely AS they walk down the street
the women are forever reaching for their
back hair and catching up short locks with
hairpins, or feeling to see if their hair Is
coming down. When they get in front of
mirror the very first thing the women
look at is their hair and twitch it one way
or the other. No matter what any woman
has on her mind, her hair takes first place.

Jumper suits have become deservedly
popular for young girls, and the design
shown, suitable for a child from eight to
twelve years of age, Is pretty and practical.
The original model was of wood brown
henrietta, hand embroidered In silk

simple and easily made and for fall and
early winter wear with a change Of guimpe
will DO duty for many occasions.
The waist and sleeves may be made
either with or without lining. If lining
Is used silk Is preferable. Stamping for
the embroidery may be done at home, either
by the perforated patterns and the powder
which comes for the purpose or by using
the strips which come by the yard and are
transferred to the material by the ap2ii-
cation OF hot iron.
