Senator Owen Gives Genuine Var Dance

Plenty Coos came here with fire in
his eye and vengeance in his heart
against the palefaces at the capitol.
He had grievances dating beyond the
arrival of Christopher Columbus. He
had several bouts with Senator Clapp,
the tall, digniiied chairman of the In
dian committee. The elouuence of
Plenty Coos prevailed finally, and an
agreement was reached to bury the
hatchet. smoke the pipe and go back
to the reservation. Plenty Coos wound
up his descent upon the capitol in
the committee room by rising In his
place and making a solemn tender OF
Chairman Clapp. Senator Clapp, who
is from Minnesota, blushed and re.
fused to put on the royal headgear.
There was a moment of embarrass
ment which was suddenly relieved by
the senator of Cherokee blood. To
him the bonnet was a call of the wild"
Hand me the bonnet" said Senator
owen. Plenty Coos beamed with de-
light and extended the bonnet, which
was made of the trophies of hundred

ing as lottery and SO 1t is, the way
they do it. 1t is not necessarily SO,
however. Pure White Lead and lin
seed oil are the essential elements of
good paint. Adulterants In white lead
can be easily found by the use of a
blowpipe. Authorizations in linseed oil
can be detected with fair degree of
certainty. See that these two elements
are pure and properly put on and the
