THE NEW INDIAN.
Everybody's Magazine.

.
A new series of Indian portraits is
needed. The noble red man" of Feni-
more Cooper and of Catlin, the fierce
figure in war paint and feathers, lost
his romantic interest when he was con
fined to a reservation and fed on ra-
tions. Now the stall-fed reservation
dweller has been supplanted in turn
by the new man, Indian only in blood
and traditions, who is stepping up to
take his place in the life of the west.
The pictures that are to represent the
new Indians will include a short hair
ed, dark-faced man, dressed in black
slouch hat, dingy white cotton shirt.
blue overalls, and hobnailed shoes.
He may be Kiowa farmer, who gath ,
ers 600 bushels of corn from twenty
acres of cultivated land last year, or
one of the 391 Pine Ridge Indians,
who put up 600 tons of hay to carry
their stock through the winter. Or
he may be Plenty Buffalo, who has
worked with team and scraper on the
Huntley irrigation poject in Montana
for six months; or Bert Fredericks,
the Hopi night foreman of the tunnel
at the Zuni dam in Arizona.
The pictures will also depict the
Indian woman as mistress of prairie
cabin, feeding the chickens or carry
ing food to the calves and pigs. They
will include group Off children, trot-
ting off to day school at o'clock with
their noon lunches in packages under
their arms. A big canvas to hang be-
side the old painting of the war dance
will show 1000 Sioux attending con-
vocation of the Episcopal church at
White Swan, S. D.. and listening to
addresses from Bishop Hare, or from
their own clergyman, Amos Ross, a
full blood.

Lioht in the Stable.

To the absence of proper light in the
stable may be attributed many OF the
diseases to which the eyes Of horses
are liable. It is easy to imagine how
the animal must feel and the conse-
ouences which are likely to be the re-
suit, from our own painful sensations
on issuing from dark place to the
full blaze of the sun. A repetition OF
this several times during the day
would be inevitably attended with
most Injurious consequences. A stable
ought to be as well lighted as house,
SO that this source Of injury may be
avoided and also that any want Of
cleanliness may be readily detected

TRADITION OF THE ROSE
Pretty Legend Current Among NORM
American indians.

The North American Indians OF the
western coast have a tradition tnat
roses were created without tnorns.
So tall and fair they grew that all

beauty and grace. Animals that
browse upon grass and green heritage
soon discover the tender sweetness OF
the roses abundant foliage. and then
every rose tree holding Its flowers
aloft but attracted attention ana drew
destruction to itself.
Every part of the earth had peen
given its glory of roses, but In every
Mace there were animals winch
sought the bushes to devour them
and and tribes of roses were IN Dan
