But it isn't 50. When r. o. Clark

not an awfully big office, but he
must have been an awfully good
postmaster, for he turned in to the

a lot of other cases you know. Well
the government caught him at it.

paid every cent. That's precisely
what it was THE LAST CENT
for when the balance of cents !
was sent him, and he had TO buy
a 2-cent stamp TO write a letter

BUFFALO ROBES.
How They Were Tanned and
Marketed by Kansas Indians.

(FrOm the Kansas City Journal)
Out in western Kansas one still
frequently sees an old plainsmar
drive into town covered with &
5nffalo overcoat or a buffalo robe
in the winter time. However, buff
falo robes are becoming very scarce
and il a few years they will en-
tirely disappear.
There was a time when Kan
sas furnished robes for the world.
No well regulated Eastern family
on farm was without one. They
were not only very warm but were
reasonable in price.
1t was the Kaw Indians who
first marketed buffalo robes. And
later, manufacturers, seeing the
vast profit in them, made them by
the thousands and supplied the
world. But the manufactured or
tanned robes didn't last as long
as the robes tanned by the Indians.
In fact, it is said that the robes
now in service were those tanned
by these Indians many years be-
fore the white men began to tan
them.
The Indian women did the tan
ming. They fastened the green hide
to set of frames just like our
grandmother u ed to fasten her
quilts to. when she made them. The
squaws would then take blunt
implement resembling hoe, and
work off all the flesh and men,
1rane from the hide.
They called it ''fleshing" it. Then
hey would rub the skin for sever
II days with heavy, smooth sur
aced club until all the grease had
,een driven out of the hide. They
Used no chemicals at all in the tan
ing of the hides. Only hides
rom the buffaloes killed late i'll the !
5lnter were used for robes, as the Y
UT was then the heaviest.
Before the Kaws threw the robesl .
n the market they used them in G
laking moccasins and winter cloth a
lg, also for covering for their te- 8
ees. But when market was es- q
lblished for them and the Indians II
'uld get real money, or real food "
: real whiskey for them, buffalo Il
pees soon disappeared from the fl
'seryatiOn. n
