was the most delicious "bread"-so- called for lack of a better name which wasn't like real bread at all; for it was fried in grease and resem- bled in shape, but not in taste, a doughnut. Then, they had fried ham, and nicely fried eggs and coffee, with sugar but no cream. They ate out of tin plates and cups-which, like the food, were scrupulously clean.
 And all the while the smoke from the fire floated upward and made its way out the big hole at the top of the tepee, through which the long tent poles protruded.
 It was most fascinating. And Hal and Jack found it no easy matter to watch and see all the many things of interest happening within that small enclosure and yet, at the same time, find opportunity to enjoy the ex- cellent food.
 After breakfast they set out to walk around the encampment and take in it's wonders. Then, in the af- ternoon, the great Sun Dance was to be held. But that is another story which you may read, if you like, on this page next Sunday.

 Presently, as they neared the en- campment, several Indians, resplend- ent in their brilliant feather war bon nets and bright red. blue, green and yellow-striped blankets, came riding out to meet them on ponies that wore neither saddle nor bridle.
 MT. Hamilton and Goldie recognized them from afar off-and held up their right hands, the Indian sign of peace and welcome. Hal and Jack did like wise, at their fathers suggestion. h. stantly the right hands of the two Indians were raised in similar greet ing. And when the two parties met, a scene that held the boys spellbound was enacted.

Justice Saves Money.

Much has been said about the
greater cost of elections involved in
equal suffrage, and little about the
actual money saving that has often
resulted from giving women a voice
i'm public affairs.
Women are the economical sex.
1T is harder for a woman to get a
dollar than ii is for a man-Iwill not
say harder for her to carr a dollar,
but harder to get one," said Henry
b. Blackwell, and he argued that,
through a long course of having to
scrimp and plan to make both ends
meet, a dollar looks larger to the av-
erage woman than to the average
man, and she is less ready to spend
it without getting full value for the
money.
We have had some striking ex-
amples of this very lately. DR.. Kath-
crime Bement Davis, as commission
er of correction in New York, is not
only running the prisons more hui
namely for the inmates than her pre-
decessors, but is doing it at a great
deal less cost TO the city. In Cali
fornia the graft has largely been
knocked out of the state government
since mn got the ballot. In Chi
.cago, since the women voters tackled
the garbage problem, a new garbage
plant has been put in whereby the
garbage nets the city $4,000 a month
instead of costing it $4,000 a month,
as under the old systemic say
nothing of saving the cost of a large
amount of illness and death due to
the bad smells and rotting garbage
heaps, before the women took hold.
A prominent divine of the last CEN
fury wrote:
Few old women keep house so
wastefully as chancellors of the ex-
chequer keep the state. One of my
reasons for supporting woman suf-
frage is that / believe the womanly
genius for administration, applied to
public affairs, would be extremely
economical and beneficial"
1t is quite possible that If women
had had votes, Europe might have
been spared this hideously costly
war. In more than M way, justice
pays.-Local w. c. T. u.
