Washington, Feb. An indian VINO

to town. His name is Hollow Horn,
Bear, n he is the chief orator of the
Rosebud Sioux tribe of South Dakota.
Hollow Horn Bear is reputed to be
the handsomest and most typical In

looks like ready money. His picture
adorns the S. silver certificate. 1t was.

Hollow Horn Bear Is SO years old
and as straight as an Indian ought to
be-. He hasn't a gray hair in his head
and there Is enough hair to make a
mattress. In addition to being beauti
full, Hollow Horn Bear Is long with the
white mans game" as he calls the
art of conversation. In truth, he has
most white men dashed securely to the
bowsprit and the ship sinking head on,
when 1T comes to the art of talk. He
comes every once in a while to talk q

steny-hearted bureau Of Indian affairs.
That's what he want on the present

Indians want the cash. Hollow Horn
Bear hopes to take home about 0,O0o,
copies of his picture on the SIS certif-
Gates.
Along with Hollow Horn Bear is a.
delegation Of Sioux, one of whom is
Chief Good Voice. Oddly enough, Good
Voice is no orator at all; he grunts oc-
casionally. but Hollow Horn Bear does
the talking. Reuben Quick Bear, High.

Stranger Horse are the others OF the
delegation.
Colombo is a thrifty aborigine. He
owns more land h he can tell about.
The government gave him GAO acres.
his wife 800, and each child 100 acres,
and Colombo has never got far
enough in mathematics to be able
to figure all he holds in the family. He
lives on a 20-acre piece at the corner
Of his estate, and rents the rest to
white men. White man works for

Chicago continues as smoky as ever
with an annual damage by SCOT to mer-
camille stocks of $50, 600, 900 and to
household furnishings estimated at

Gently admitted publicly that no pro-
gress has been made. The blame is put
upon the 'smokeless furnace" which
is found, it is said, to increase fuel con-
sumption as much as 30 per cent. The
smoke inspectors have accepted and
ever recommended these special fur
naces that will help their record as to
the umb Of smoking chimneys, but
the Increase of coal bills has caused
bad blood between those who installed
the ~"smokeless" furnaces and the
