VALUE OF BUTTER MASTERS
change Among Indians Living Along the Shore.

s'Butter tasters'' is the name chil- dren give to the violet tinted, worn fragments of clam shells that are found on most beaches. These "but- ter tasters" were an important medi- um of exchange among the Indian tribes living along the shore in their trading with other natives further inland.
 It can readily be understood that Indians sufficiently adept in the art of chipping arrow heads and other implements of hard flint could easily manufacture rude stmoney" out of the more attractive colored pieces of these water-woln shells, and this they did, giving to this medium of exchange the name Luckahauk, somewhat after the style of wam- pums.
 It may be surprising to many, especially craft workers, to know what really beautiful "stones' these same so-called Luckahauks will pro- duce when cut and polished into symmetrical form from pieces of suf- fcient thickness and showing the rich and beautiful violet colorings that many of them possess.
 Such as are found on the beach are necessarily dull, with no polish, due, of course, to the wear of the sea and sand, but by proper treatment on the laps are brought to a very high polish and look very rich in- deed, being entirely unlike any other ''gem."
 Having considerable hardness, they will wear almost indefinitely when once polished. The colors blend beautifully with silver, either in bright or antique finish, while their beauty is heig htened by treat ment or ellishment with small baro" seed pearls, small ame- tn. other harmonizing stones. -1Aund!craft.

NOT GUILTY OF
WIFE DESERT|0N
RICHARD MooREHEAD RELEAs'
ED BY COURT ON GROUNDS
THAT HE HAD CAUSE.

Richard Moorehead, colored, was
freed of the charge of wife desertlon
Yesterday afternoon in the court OF
Justice Of Peace H. G. Nosler, on the
grounds that he had good cause 1or
leaving his wife, Alice. Justice NOS
Ter stated today that although there
was no doubt but that Moorehead had
left his wife, the code Of Iowa states
that it shall be without good cause be-
fore he shall be guilty of desertion.
Justice Nosler asserts that from the
evidence in the preliminary hearing,
Moorehead had good cause to leave
his wife and therefore was not guilty
as charged.
