his untamed heart.
He bought them-the finest. the most ire

i days indeed-these times ---

Even the Indians-those who have survived
the shock of war. the shock of thew hlte mans
whisky, and the shock of the amateur pho
pervading spell of modernism and have waxed
almost shockingly up to date.
In few places only do the Indians still rove
freely in country and town. Nevada remains
practically unaltered as a happy hunting
ground, a happy gambling ground, and happy
living ground for the once unlettered ahor1el-
mes. There the Washoes, Piutes. and Sho-
shones abide in much of their oldtime freedom.

or even less. Whether bicycle is luxury
or necessary. depends. presumably, upon the
kind of use one makes of it. But, speaking Of
luxuries. there is the matter of pictures. which
twenty-five years ago were comparatively
costly. whereas nowadays one may cover his
walls at trifing expense with exquisite works
of art. Of course. this is due mainly to i'm
provement in methods of mechanical repro
duction: but even the frames cost only
fraction of their former price.
Another thing in the line of necessaries that
has come down greatly in price is hardware.
Though building materials generally speak
ing. have gone up in the last few years. hard
ware has fallen. some of it. as much as fifty
per cent: and as for carpenters tools. they are
from twenty-five to forty per cent. cheaper
than they used to be.
Things for the Kitchen
A LII sorts of articles for the kitchen cost only
small fraction of the prices of few
years ago. twenty-five years back, for exam
pie. baking pan was worth dollar: to-day
a good one may be purchased for ten cents
But, if one would realize how cheap things
can be in these times. he should go to the ten
cent store where he may buy for a dime
silver plated spoon or fork. shaving brush. a
pair of eye glasses, a pair of scissors. pair of
gloves pair of stockings. dishpan. sauce
pan. kettle. or even gas stove. Think of a
gas stove for ten cents!
Soaps are cheaper than formerly.-not toilet
soaps so much the household kinds, which
are sold for as little as six cakes forsa quarter.
