NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Warren Of
w Wyoming excited the wonder
ment of his colleagues the other day
by taking with him to lunch In the
senate restaurant party Of Indians
belonging to the tribe of the Arapa-
hoes and the Shoshones. The red men
were in Washington transacting bust
ness with the interior department and
paying their respects to the great
white father at the executive mansion,
as well as to his prospective success
or across the way in the war depart
ment.
Proof that the Indians are taking
on the ways of civilization was to be
seen at Warren's lunch function. In
stead of calling for jerked beef and
bear meat the feathered and blanket
ed warriors partook Of salads and pie
What is more, they ate pie with forks,
which is more than can be said for
every white person that appears at
the senate refectory. Also they used
napkins as they should be used and
didn't mistake them for handkerchiefs
or for bibs. They partook of consom.

THE departure of Quentin Roosevelt
i on his southern trip solved the
mystery of the Force school. Through
out the winter one of the boys in
the class of children about Quentin's
age has been lavishing dollhouse BIOS
SONS on his teacher.
Repeated inquiries brought out only
the fact that the flowers had been
given to the youthful donor. Quentin
left the city and simultaneously the
daily floral gift failed to make its APP
pearance. Now it transpires that the
flowers came from the White House
conservatory.
Quentin and the boy had made a
bargain. The presidents son was to
furnish stipulated number of bios
SONS each day in return for a lot of
milk tops" which is schoolboy YER
nacular for the disks of pasteboard
which milk dealers use in the tops of
milk bottles.

A Place for the Dolls.

Many mothers are, no doubt, wor.
ried about the dolls and dolls clothes
which, If the child plays with her dolls
at all, are always scattered about
Dolls trunks are expensive and far
from strong, so l bought Japanese
bamboo telescopes, one for each doll,
large enough to hold both the doll and
its clothes. A piece of paper, with the
dolls name on It, is pasted on each
lid. When the dolls are not being
played with the telescopes are put Oh
a shelf within the child's reach.

found that all spontaneity had been

when suddenly a boyish voice. gruff
with embarrassment, burst forth: II
