We joyously entertained any body who chanced to come by our way without regard to his present cr pre vi .us condition. One day a Icia-tidl stranger hauled up, with hungry look, in front of 0111 ('.iniii-f tent and without so much as 'V'O' d morning" for a preface, sprang oil' his horse and remarked: '"A bi:c syndicate is paying me $'1 a day and expenses to sell land no dif ference wh it I get for it or whether I st II it at all or not."'

That i, to give I each Indian a homestead, mark it oil' i by distinctboiin lary lines, require him ! to build a house on it, teach him 10 j cultivate it, and iu various ways help him along until he is able to suioort I 11 : r&mmx w& ! iiefore it can be done witn any degree 'nt ! f success. A portion of land is allot iand I ,i 1 ..i-i 1 1.-. , ', -, ,' ' ' ".f" ' ,n" r;l. Vlstoa 1 "f finding the land around belonging to 'eryoody and nobody, lie finds distinctive tract all his own. He is thereby taught the law of inheritance. The desire at onces comes to him to leave to his children an inheritance at least as good as that which was If ft to him. He sees other Indians all around lnm culhratiiig their farms j and earning for themselves the com- forts of life. A healthful rivalry thus established and ambition viously unfelt is fostered. r The Dawes bill, under whi-h allot ments are made, provides that the In dian shall become a citizen with all the rights thereunto appertaining within six months after he has taken his allotment and severed his tribal relations. It provides also that the Government shall keep the Indian's allotment in trust for him for twenty live years. Then he is allowed to do as he pleases with it. It is supposed that liy this timo he will be able to hold his own against all settlers in the -I. ii . '! THK PKIDE OF Till- C AMI. competition for homes. Just after getting an allotment, the average In dian would be strongly tempted to give a hundred and sixty acres of laud for a week's rations. The next step after dividing out the lauds and placing each Indian under his own vine and tig tree is to build a school house, eipiin it well, put good conscientious teachers in charge of it. require every Indian of school age to ' attend it. and thus push 011 the work ' of civiii.ing the Indians right iu the 1 heart of the reservation. The Indian ! school question has for some years en- gaged more than any other the thought of those interested in Indian work. And "the Schools to the reservations'' , was the policy of the last admfuistra- -tion. and will, I presume, remain the i policy of the present administration, j The Fort Uertho'ul reservation is ou i both sides of the Missouri llivt-r in the northern part of North Dakota. It contains a'ont a mL'ioii and a quarter acres and i as far from civilisation's haunts as any similiar-siz, ,1 piece of ground outside of Africa. The nearest I ailrgad train passes by nearly a Luu- 1 f m mmm 9. S: 4X Man (6 dre-l miles away. The nearest tele gi'atih instruinent ticks at the same dis tance. The agency employs a few white men who have married squaws, and a missionary or two are the only whites on the reservation. There are three tribes on this reser vation, the Gos Ventres, the Mandans and the Aiickarees. There is a sub tribe of fJros Ventres known as the band of Crow Flies High. They long ago eat loose from ail other Indians. They ha I to be brought with troops from their mountain fastnessess down to the reservation. They call them selves "Iloshkis" (huskies), which means ''bad lands." They still refuse to affiliate with any other tribe. Tiir nonsuit It was b this unreconstructed band that J t make allotments. Crow Flies High had been eiosed as chief in 1 Long J'.'iH put iu his plac-. Old Cro'.v no.'.' calls himself Chief Medicine m i l. lie still ha great influence and is sai l t 11 e a'd of it for the bad. Tli ; In liuu eli-ieis :lI-e great sticklers for dignity. Crow Flies High has a s ip.-r,i'i:i.i Ian "e. Tbe first time his ban 1 ca .1 d iw to have a council witii mi' he assumed marshalship of them although Long AJull, dressed in full regimentals, was spokesman. They halted their horses and wagons within a few hundred yards of my camp and sent nv word that they were ready for the eoni'eretiiv. I replied that I was at my "K'p.'e''n'id wculdbeverypleased t receive them. Crow insisted that I should e3me to him and it was only I, 111 (( LT.GIMKXTALs;. after an hour or two's parleying that he consented for his baud to come to me. I was not afUicted with Crow's spirit of dignity, but I knew that if the game was opened by my going to him. I would never cret one of his band to take an allotment without go ing for him with a horse and buggy and giving him his dinner to come. Most of these "Iloshkis" are hun ters, fishers, warriors, sports. They are great jumpers, runners, boxers, wrestlers. They have a supreme and loftly contempt for an Indian who will spou-1 his time working "just like a white man." They believein the sov ereignity of leisure. Wherever a crowd of them meet, they test their strength in manly exercise. Whenever their horses como together their mettle is tested m a rac-. They are brave. bright, strong-. Thev have their der qualities, however, and the two little girls that thev brought out from their tepee homes to show me as tho 'pri le of the camp' tho only two chil dren iu the band that had been sent off t o s-hool were as penile an 1 pretty as Indian girls should I.e. 1 induced them to decide to bo "goo 1 Indians," atid there is hope in their fill tire. They had heretofore re-fused to take allotments. They signiiied their will ingness to me, but they were very siow to put it into execution. When one came for his allotment, frequently, he talked about this way: "What can I get':" He was given a great variety of land to select from. "I want none of that," said he. "s there any special piece that I can't have?" He was told of the portions already allotted or re served. "Then," he would cry trium phantly, "I watit that or nothing!" and the allotting agent had a real nice time changing this notion. The average Indian's god is his din ner. In influence with him the "Great Spirit" docs not play even a poor sec ond. You may fail to cret him to agree to anything else, but if you will invite him to a meal he will foresake all things and come with you. Then you have at least a fair opportunity to rea son with him and drill your persuasive powers. When an Indian who means busi ness and there are many such is to select an allottmeut, he gets his pony, rides over the land, decides upon the neighborhood in which he desires to live and then picks out the special tract that he wants with a view to ita water supply, its nearness to wood or : coal mines its meadows, its plow j ground and all of its conveniencep. j His decision once made stands, and it is usually good, loo frequently, how ever, he selects a piece of laud that isn't good f.-r a thing in the wide, vi le world. After the allotting agent tried in vain to induce him to select a betttr, he always comes to Mark Twain's eonjlusioa that "if he want3 that kind of a thing, that's just the kind f a thing he wants.''

In the mountains of West Virginia, where there ia little money to spare for the small things of life, are to be nil llnfirii A IIORSESHOE RACK. seen, says the New York Tribune, many evidences of making the best of thiugs. Tin cans, traditional diet of goats about New York, are here made into hanging baskets. They are cut into strips lengthwise, fastened in po sition by wire and the whole is lined with a moss to prevent the escape of the earth. New uses are also found for the old horseshoes. Instead of having holes iti posts to hold the ends of the mova ble bars of the fences, or the more awkward double posts, with eross p.ieces of wood joining them and hold ing the bars, one thrifty man has nailed horseshoes to the posts and rests the bars on them. An idea of this and a further suggestion is given in the illustration. The old shoes are nailed upon the side of the cottage and hold the "alpenstocks" of chestnut and pine used in mountain climbs. Beneath the sticks is a "sand table," which affords endless amusement to the little children on rainy days. I'rinoc of Wales Happy Home Idfc. One of the kindest and most consid erate of hosts is tho Prince of Wales. 13oth His lloyal Highness and the Princess allow their guests to be happy in their own way and leave those whom they invite to partake of their hospitality entirely according to their own inclinations. At Marlborough House there is, of course, a certain amount of ceremony observed, but when at their Norfolk home the Prin cess is altogether inrormal. l'arely a day passes by without Her lloyal Highness visiting the stable and mak ing a call on her ponies, laden with apples, carrots and sugar, for thi it benefit, and every morning regularly she may be seen in a big white apron feeding her dogs from a basket hang ing from her arm. Within doors the scene is one of supreme cosiness. The furniture is most luxurious and the ho;is a per fect bower of llowers, for th? Princess wills it so. The conservatories are always ransacked during t'13 Prince and Princess' stay. There i a post ofiiee in tho house, where stamps and money orders maybe hn 1 and tele grams sent. Both the I'l in -i r. id Princess are simply adored round about their Norfolk bom ., r.-.i 1 de servedly, for they iK'Vi r mil tosi .i ly the comfort and well being of those who serve them, or to make their peo ple's troubles their o.vn. London Figaro. Hard Wind. When the Californian tells you thai he has seen the wind blow so hard that it blew the gra-s out 1 f the ground, you will smile iti spite of yourself; it is so 2ierfeetly ridiculous. And yet it is true. I oneo planted a lawn in March, sowing Kentucky blue grass. It came up beautifuhy and flourished Juntil May, which i i the month in which the norther is reval ent. I think it was the middle of the month, and the grass was about three inches high, when tho norlher came along. In two days I had no more lawn; the grass had been blown out of the ground. JAs previously mentioned, the norther is a desiccating wind, and it dried the loose soil about the grass roots until it was reduced to a powder and thus unable to resist the wind, which dispersed it. Theioots, haviug no further hold in the ground, gave way. and the wind carried off the grass. This is how the w ind blew the grass out of the ground. It is a Cali fornia yarn, but simide enough wheu exiilaiued. Liiiinucott's. The South I'olar Expedition.

'THE IRISH JOAN OF ARC" Interesting Toons Woman "With Ml-; ion Now in This Country. Miss Maud Gonne, who has come, to America in the interest of the Irish, cause, is one of the most interesting young women that ever came to these shores. Her life has been one of love of country, the poor people of her country and romance. She now lives in France, where she edits a newspaper devoted to war for justice to Erin and where the imaginative Frenchmen have given her the title of the "Joan of Are of Ireland." She is a convert to Irish nationalism from the camp of the Unionists, and she declared upon reaching America that there was but one object in life for her the rights of the commoners of her native country. Miss Gonne is the daughter of Colonel Gonne, who was an attache of the English embassy in St. Petersburg. She was reared in the society which would accompany such a position, but as a young girl the stories of the life of O'Connell, the Liberator, came un der her attention, and at the age of nineteen years she had resolved to de vote her energy and years to the cause which had been his. She has been in active battle for eleven yesrs, has miss maud cox:;n. : worked among Ilia lowly in London j and the dungeons and organized many Isociities for tho improvement of the I Irish 2' ea-an try.
