CHRISTMAS DoN'Ts.

+ Don't leave the cost mark on pres
ents.
Don't let money dominate your Christ
mas giving.
Don't let Christmas giving deteriorate
into a trade.
Don't em5arrsss yourself by giving
more than you can afford.
Don't try to pay debts or return obli-
cations in your Christmas giving.
Don't give trashy things. Many an Al
tic could iellstrange stories about Christ
mas presents.
Don't make presents which your
friends will not know what to do with,
and which would merely cucumber the
home.
Don't give because others expect You
to. Give because you love to. If you
cannot send your heart with the gift,
keep the gift.
Don't give too bulky articles to people
who live in small quarters, unless you
know that they need the particular things
you send them.
Don't wait until the last minute to
buy your presents, and then, for lack
of time to make proper selections. give
what your better judgment condemns
Don't decide to abstain from giving
Just because you cannot sf,rd expensive
presents. The tboughtfulnsss of your
gift, the interest you take in those to
whom you give, are the principal things.
The intrinsic value of your gift counts
very little.
Don't give things becsuse they are
cheap and make big show tor the money.
AS a rule it is dangerous thing 10 pick
up lot Of ell sorts of things at bargain
sales for Christmas presents. If you do
there is always the temptation to make
inappropriate gifts. Besides there Is
ususlly some defect in bargain articles,
or they are out of style, ont of date, or
there ia some other reason why they are
sold under price.

BATTLING BONES
 ATTRACT OFFICERS
klNKY HEADS SCATTER BUT sEV- EN CRAP SHOOTERS ARE HAULED AWAY FROM BOX CAR ON AVENUE A.

The bones were gayly rattled yesterday afternoon in two box cars at the railroad yeards on Avenue A and Twenty-fourth street. and loud bets were being called out above the ohink of the falling dice when the tread of policemen was heard outside. A score of kinky heads appeared at the open doors. and negroes began piling out.
 A dozen or more managed to scamper away, emptying one car, but the officers managed to cover those occupying the other. and seven gamblers were arrested. One jumped out In front of the guns and escaped, probably carrying with him the rake off of the game as the victims which he left behind were almost penniless.
 The arrests were made by Officers Streit Smith, Parker and Nation, and the negroes who will face Judge Feagin in the morning are Paul Johnson, Ed Smith, Walter Atlis, Will Anderson, Will Ham, mons, Allen Howard and Arthur Clarke. The crowd was packed into the patrol wagon, like sardines, and safely locked up. There was not 50 cents on the whole bunch. Four other negroes were ar rested on the same charge last night by Policemen Gates and Larue. The victims were enjoying themselves In Buzzard Roost. They were taken from the same room which gave up four Saturday night

INDIANS REVISIT
 ANCIENT KINGDOM
FAMOUS TUScARORA TRIBE TO ENCAMP ON JAMESTOWN EXPo- SETON GROUNDS, WHERE ONCE THEY RULED SUPREME.

Norfolk. Va. February 17.-(SpeciaL)- The famous band of Tuscarora Indians that ruled, what is now Virginia and the Carolinas, more than three hundred years ago, but who were driven Into the north by the more aggressive tribes that roamed that section of the country, will make an exhibit at the Jamestown Ter-Centennial exposition, to be held on the historic shores of Hampton Roads, some eight miles from the city of Norfolk, Va. The history of the early inhabitants of this country, up to the time of the settlement at Jamestown, Va, three hundred years ago, which anniversary the Jamestown exposition is to commemorate, is largely made up of legend and myth for the In dian had no written language except long and difficult system of woven beads that were kept by the medicine men," or historians, of the tribe, of which but lit- tie remains. The 'Tuscarora Indians, as far as can be learned, however, are the descendants of a white colony that mil grated from Wales in 117O and were wrecked on the Atlantic coast somewhere off the shores of Virginia or the Carolnas
 This theory is substantiated by the fact that the Tuscaroras are much lighter in complexion than any of the other tribes of the American Indians; also by the fact that when visited by a Welsh settler from the north, in 1860, he was able to con verse with this tribe in his native tongue Again in late years, when "Deerfoot," the noted Indian runner, made his success full tour of Europe, defeating all the best athletes that competed against him, was this theory proven, for Deerfoot who was direct descendant of the Tusca- roras, on meeting a party of Welshmen at an English tavern, found that he could make himself understood by conversing in his native tongue.
 When driven from Virginia and the south the Tuscaroras turned their steps northward and joined the Iroquois, or Five Nations, who were then the su- preme rulers of that section of the new world. During the periods of both the rev olution and the war of 1872, this trbe was of great service to the American colon- ists against the British. Many of the tribe have become Christians and have been ed- ucated in our schools. but there are yet those among them that hold to their pagan faith, weird customs and religious festivals and dances. From this later class will Capt Robert E. Lawton, who is to have charge of the exhibit select his Indians.
 Many attractions and valuable curios will be seen in the encampment and much interest will undoubtedly be taken in this tribe which for so many years held undisputed sway over that section of the s&th wherein the Jamestown Ter Centennial exposition is to be held
