to the hobble skirt and no farther.
Just as we used to have the kan
CARGO walk" we now have the camel
hump walk"
The camel-hump walk is natures
way OF adapting itself to the sheath
skirt. 1t is natures law and probably
the very best nature could do under
the circumstances.
1t will be seen by careful attention
to the pictures that the genuine cam
el-hump is nothing more nor less than
an attempt on the part of the hobbled
female to get away from what is
coming behind her, a direct applica-
ton Of the theory that self-preserva-
ton is one of the primal instincts Of
humanity. The peculiar effect is due
to the tendency. OF the upper portion
of the torso to advance a little faster

Famous Stockbridge Indians Are to Go West

n ECIDING to abandon their tribal
- form Of government and adopt the
white mans way of doing things, the
remnant of the Stockbridge tribe OF
Indians. numbering 600 men. women
and children, will shortly become
citizens of Wisconsin and cease to be
under the supervision and guardian
ship Of the federal government.
The Stockbridge Indians will have
a whole township to themselves. east
OF Lake Winnebago, and other land
that the government intends giving
them. Already they are planning the
organization of a own government,
and they have written to various fed.
eral and state officials about the state
for information respecting civil gov
eminent, parliamentary practice and
whatever else may be useful to them
in solving the problems before them.
Originally the Stockbridge Indians
were a part of the Mohican confeder-
acy and were known under the name
Of Housatonic. When the pilgrim
fathers landed at Plymouth Rock, the
Stockbridges occupied part OF the
Housatonic valley at Berkshire Hills,
Mass. Soon after the famous mis-
sionary. Sergeant, went to work among
them they were collected on a tract
reserved by the English government.
The French and Indian war. which
broke out in 1854. marked the begin
ming of the decline of the Stock
bridges. They sided with the French
and thus aroused the ire of many 9th
er Indian tribes. At the close of the
war they were forced to move. partly
because the war had reduced their
numbers and partly because the New
Enalanders desired they should leave
that community.
Their number reduced to a beggarly

China, Of all nations, was the first
to use paper money. As early as tho
second century paper money was used
by the Chinese. but In the fifteenth
century the Chinese minister Of a.
nance abolished 1t. and not until the
latter part of the nineteenth century
was it resumed. In 1898 the American
Bank Note company received m or
der from the Chinese government to
print an issue Of paper money
