There was a pendant his wife was max

Flowers as Ornaments.
The bead pattern is entirely of Arapahoe

the tribe have been known for century.
They represent flowers Of many colors on
long stems of green beads. There is also
a heart-shaped ornament also in vari-

The government has recently set aside
$4,000 for grazing lands for the Arapahoes
to be used entirely for their benefit. The
delegation from the tribe. headed by
White Horse, jr., is here to propose that
the money be applied to the purchase of
cattle.
This has appealed to .the Indian Office
as an eminently practical application OF
the fund. Not only is the suggestion in
dorsed, but the papers have been duly
prepared to make this disposition of the
money.
