The Indian commissioner visited the
agency one day and asked to have all
the Indians brought before him. that
he might make them n speech. These
were the Brule Sioux, Of whom Spotted
Tail. one of the most illustrious OF In.
dians. was at the time head chief. In

ing their faces and bodies. He told
them that none but savage painted
his face or his body. After he lad
finished Spotted Tail arose.
"You say we are savages because We
paint our faces and bodies," he said.
Last spring was in Washington and
went to the presidents inaugural bali.
All the white women at that ball had
their faces painted. do not think We
are savages."
The assembled Indian shrieked with
laughter.

Immense Revenue Aeerues to That

serts that in fashion France Is still
uNrivaled. He has carefully invesu-
gated the state OF affairs in Germany.
England. Switzerland. Austria and
northern Italy. and has come to the
conclusion that France stands first In
matters Of taste. Her jewelry designs
and her models Of furniture are the
finest in the world. although England
and Germany are selling well In both
these directions, he declares.
From fashion M. Heuret estimates
the revenue Of the French at 150, ,000.-
600 francs. In Paris there are over
1000 business houses employing
from one to 100 working girls. For
the whole OF France the total Of such
establishments reaches $4,000. to
which may be added $4,000 lingerie
Arms, 1000 houses where embroider-
esses and mender. are employed.
Thus there are 115.000 shops where
sewing is the industry carried on.

Western District Goes t'Wet" insuring Return of Saloons in Eureka

The Democratic party made clean sweep of the county offices in Monday $ election, for the first time in several years.
 While the official figures are not available this week, it seems safe to say that the Democratic majorities will be above the two hundred mark. Secretary Eslinger of the Democratic Central Committee, claims that the official count will show most of the nominees to have run in by 400 major ity.
 Liquor license has carried by big odds in the Western district, thus as suring the return of saloons in Eureka Springs.
 In Hickory township, it was somewhat different. Bob Thorn, the Republican nominee for Road Overseer, was elect ed over his Democratic opponent by 19 majority, while John Wells, Repub- lican, was elected one of the J. P. S. and Dave Watson was elected Consta- ble. The latter had no opposition. J. H. DeBerger was elected for the other J. P. on the Independent ticket.

OUR banks will take care of any of their depositors who wants a little temporary loan over any financial stringency if his commercial life has been reasonably decent. That is if he has paid attention to the ordinary amenities of banking rules-never over drawn his account, never drawn checks on money that wasn't there, has not allowed any notes to go to protest and obeyed all rules laid down by the insti- tuition. Banks like to lend money when they think there is a certainty of being paid back, and the poor depositor, who is careful and honest, is just as we'll treated as the rich man, and they would just as soon extend the courte- sies to one as the other.

If his outgo is twenty pounds one shilling, bankruptcy and misery will be his sure apportionment. As there are only eighteen pence be- tween prosperity and ruin the manage ment must be poor that cannot find a way ont.
