CHIEF HANDSOME ELK OF THE GROW TRIBE. amusement. The stock parade was grand success, and the first prize was awarded to Takes the-Gun. Mrs. Pret- ty Antelope won the first prize for meals and table, and the first prize for a we'll kept tepee went to Mrs. Joseph Stewart. Both these dusky ladies are full blood Indians, and neither has been to school or can speak word of Eng lish. Takes-the Gun brought in as his exhibit load of fine corn. grain, mel ons, pumpkins, squashes and other veg etables. Bird Horse had an equally fine outfit and drove splendid four horse team of bays. Pigs and chick ems were an interesting feature at the fair. There was big industrial pa rade. in which nearly all the Indians joined, driving all kinds of farming outfits. The Indians who obtained pre- miums were required to own their out fits and to have paid for them by their own efforts.
 The beet sugar industry, which is of such growing importance in the west, Is one in which the red man takes much interest and to which he is well adapted. An average red man does not like to work alone. Sugar beet culture has an attraction for him above most other forms of agriculture because 1t affords employment for his whole family at once. The wife and children, who are such large factors in his life, can work in the beet fields side by side with him, and even the little papoose can be taught to weed the rows, just as the pickaninny in the south can be used as cotton pick. CT. It is for such reasons, as MT. Leupp puts 1t, that "the Indian takes to beet farming as naturally as tho Italian takes to art or the German to science"
 Railroad construction Is another branch of work in which the red men have proved good laborers. Railroad builders know the Indians as workers and are ready to pay them the white mans wages. The Indians are strong. silent and. as one railroad boss puts 1t. have not yet learned to loaf whom tho booG' bach is turned"

 is erroneous, just as is the idea that the only good Indian is a dead Indian. The annual report of the commissioner of Indian affairs, Francis E. Leupp, gives some facts that show what many of the Indians are accomplishing as farmers or work CTS in other branches of labor. Among the most industrious of the red men of the west are the Crow Indians of Mon tana, whose agricultural fair has now become a regular annual institution. The Crows are not now drawing ra t1OnS from the government and have not been for two years. \ good part of them seem really to believe that people ought to work for what they enjoy of the good things of life The progress they have made is in part due to the intelligence displayed by the govern mental agents having to do with them The latter have proceeded on the theo- ry that the best place to train an In- dian to habits of industry and produe- tiveness is at his own home and on his own iand. The fair the Crows held tuc past ettitt+liI lS tt i}IcttN SOOu pIO0l of the wisdom of this plan It was al together an Indian enterprise. Each Crow brought his own exhibit, and there was as much interest in the com petition between growers of tall corn and big vegetables, fat pigs and good breeds of stock. as was ever shown in hunt or war dance.

of nearly So per cent.
Tested by length of life woman can
equally claim the superiority. Bridget
Danaher, who died last March in Lime
rick, was said to be liz years old;
Mary O'Hare, another daughter of
Erin, was only two years younger, and
Mrs. Sarah Egan, of Kings county,
was credited with 107 years, while
Bridget Somers, who ended her days
in Sligo Workhouse in March, 1904,
had reached the ripe old age of ia.

NOW DIVE FOR sPoNeEs.
Old System of Hooking Abandoned on
Florida Coast.

The practicablity of the method now
being employed extensively in the
sponge industry in procuring this prod
uct, says the Tarpon Springs (Fla)
News, is no longer in doubt, and
large percentage of the Tar
pom Springs vessels are changing
from the old method of hooking
to the new one of diving, and
in order to successfully accomplish
desired results with the diving method
1t was thought necessary to employ
Greeks, who are accustomed to the
work, as 1t seemed doubtful whether
many Of those who have followed the
hooking process would care to don the
helmet and leaden shoes and pull
sponge with from 30 to go feet of wa
ter overhead. But recent experiments
by a few have demonstrated that a
little practice and confidence, together
with good physical condition, are all
that is needed to become a diver. AL
ready number of our native spongers
have become proficient In this line,
and the probabilities are that in the
near future large percentage of the
catch will be obtained In this manner.

ticle in the Technical World magazine.
america leads the world in the ar
tihcial tooth industry and Philadelphia
supplies a large percentage of the
total output. False teeth are shipped
from this country to the remote cor
.ncrs of the earth. They are to be
found in the mouths of Japanese, Chi
nese, Hindoos, and even, 1t is very
likely, assisting in the mastication of
the daily rations of the Zulus of South
Africa. Indeed, it is not beyond the
limit Of possibility that cannibal feasts
are conducted with the aid of Ameri-
can-made artificial teeth.
"The largest plant in the world for
the making of artificial teeth is to be
found in Philadelphia. The industry
has grown to its present mammoth
proportions within a comparatively
short time, for the dentists of old days
made the teeth for his customers in
a room adjoining the operating depart
ment. They were usually ill-fitting
a1d, being made from bone or ivory,
would not stand the wear long. The
discovery of a way to make false teeth
by composition that was practically
irdestructable marked the beginning
OF a new era in the ability of the hui
man family to repair the ravages Of
time"

When the Mississippi. Freezes.

Since 1870 there have been but six sea-
sons when the Mississippi did not
freeze over, these being the years
1873, 1875, 1882, 1891, 1902, and 1906.
The 80 times that it did close, the ice
stopped running 80 times in Decem-
Der, showing that this is the month
when the heavy cold usually sets in.
The earliest date recorded is Deem
Der 4, 1872, and the latest February
"a, 1889. One season, 1895-1896, the
ice froze up tight and then moved
six times the variation of the tempera-
ture for the winter.
