A BIG INDIAN WEDDING.

The entire tribe of Winnebago In.
dams has decided to get married. In
formal tribal council, in which every
man on the reservation participated,
the Indians have voted to forsake the
ways of their fathers and marry the
white mans way. Now the Indians are
preparing for the greatest marriage"
ever known.
AS soon as the arrangements can be
made about 1000 couples of Indians
will stand up at the altar at the same
time and in the same ceremony.
The Indians are already making
great preparations for the event, but
these probably will not be completed
until next spring. No Indian tribe
would miss an opportunity of this kind
to receive presents. In fact, when the
big wedding is over the WiDnehagos
expect to be the richest tribe in the
west.
According to Indian custom the Civ
ing of presents is virtue-one of the
greatest virtues. Tribes of ten make
themselves poor by giving. Individual
Indians frequently will give away ev-
erything they possess. And in the pres.
ent case the Winnebagos will be the
recipients of heaps presents"
Already the Winnebagos have sent
official invitations to other tribes. The
Sioux In the Dakotas have been asked
to come TO the big affair. And so have
the Crows Of Montana. The Arapahoes
and Arikaries of Wyoming will be pres
emit. The other portion of the Winnie
bagos In Minnesota will be especially
urged TO come down in force. Poncas
Osages. Creeks and other tribes from |
Oklahoma have been invited. And the
Omahas, the near neighbors of the
Winnebagos, have promised to come
en- masse.
The Winnebagos, although living

IF LOST IN THE WOODS.

| Womans Home Companions:
II you discover that you are lost in
the woods, sit down and think calmly
back over the road you have travelled,
trying to decide where the camp should
lie. Then if you have your compass,
and 1t seems to agree with your judg-
ment, stick faithfully to that direction.
Even If you are wrong in your decis-
ion, 1t is better to keep on in one d.
rection, because you may fall in with
some stream and can follow it to hui
man habitation.
If you have no compass the sun is
an excellent guide during the day
Should the sky be overcast, place the
point Of your knife-blade on the nail
of your thumb; turn slowly until the
full shadow Of the blade obscures the
nail, and you have discovered where
the sun is.
You can discover the points of the
compass in other ways; by noticing
that the tops of the tall trees incline to
the north; that the leaves of trees are
generally closer on the south side;
that their branches are shorter and
more irregular on the north side.
To prevent getting into the circle
habit break off branches of the bushes
you pass. Start fire, if your match
safe is with you-as it should be. Re.
member that fire piled up with damp
wood makes dense smoke, and quick
ly attracts attention. Two fires going
at once, one little removed from the
other, constitute a well-known signal
OF distress among woodmen. The firing
OF three shots in uccession-two at
first, than pause, then the third shot
is another recognized signal If you
happen to have a gun.

among the whites, have maintained
their tribal customs regarding mar
riage. Polgamy is common and deser-
ton constitutes a divorce. There is
scarcely man on the reservation who
has not had from IL to 20 wives.
No Winnebago has known when he
left his cabin in the morning if he
would have wife on his return and
no Wlnnebago woman has known when
her husband would throw her out Of
his house and refuse to permit her to
return, There are no marriage VOWS
and only a small fraction of the In.
dams have been married according to
the white mans way.

WAS FENNIMoRE COOPER RIGHT?

| When Fennimore Cooper was at the
height of his popularity critics praised
his noble old Indians until 1.-THE Last
of the Mohicans' became phrase as
well as title. Later it became the
fashion to laugh at Cooper. Young
lscribes out West saw the degraded
Indian who sells his squaw, the Indian
who lies drunk on the station platform,
the fierce savage of the war path,
and they ridiculed Cooper's stately fig
ures as unreal. But Cooper did not
say that all Indians were of the old
baronial type, he drew a heroic form,
OF common one resembling the high
est order of Indian he had seen.
A moments thought must show that
with the Indian race as with every
other race there is necessarily a gulf
between the noblest and most ignoble
specimens. During the last ten or
twenty years number of magazine
writer's have visited the Oneidas in
northern New York John Smith said
that there were five thousand farmers
among them, and every visitor was
impressed with the dignity and courte-
sy of these survivors of the old lords
Of the forest Fine old Indians, own
ing the land they titled, proud of their
blooded stock, respected by their neigh
bors, were decidedly nearer to Coop
ers heroes than the desperadoes of
the plains. An old Tuscarora chief
tain has just died-Governor Sulzer
had called on him to act as manager
of an Indian school. The veteran was
widely known on the turf and leaves
son who is physician.
Recent publications of the govern
ment have shown us that the Indians
follow more callings and possess far
more property than was supposed. The
worst Indian is perhaps as bad as he
was ever painted, but the nobler types
cannot have faded away without leav-
ing descendants. In Washington's
young manhood the Six Nations form
ed a confederacy so powerful that
France and England offered fattery
and brides to their chiefs. No history,
however meagre, can ignore them, no
lawyer in the Empire state fails to see
traces of their sway, the old families
of the State have innumerable stories
of the still older families. Some of
these mighty chiefs left sons and
grandsons who displayed the finest
traits of Indian character.
All the noVelists worthy of name
were of necessity observers. The youth
on the corner may not have seen a
strange old book, but maybe the stu
dent both saw and read it. An old
sailor in Marryat, an Irish peasant in
Miss Edgsworth's stories, tavern
keeper in Fielding represents a real
character whom the writer saw. There
have been too many jokes about Coop
er's lndians.-Camden N. J. Post-Tele-
gram.
