How Ke Gets a Homestead From Uncle Sam, His
Dignified Mode of Life, His Sports and Pastimes.
Yh-.-u I was allotting lands to In
dians in North Dakota I lived in tc-nts
out on the I'ort llarthold reservation
about a hun bed miles from a railroad
cr a civ ili .e l tett't-ment.
AVitii me was a surveying corps in
eludiii": svi ral Indians and au Irish
man, aderman, a Spaniard and a mem
ber of one of the first families of Vir
ginia. 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."'
He seemed about h follow this an- !
liO'.inc jmetit of his importance by ask
iug the 2'fico of a 'bito' when I re
pliel: "i'i.-ket your bronco an t f it do-vi.
lo a feast. This smvi yingcrowd con
trols all the country. ava working
for a bigger syndicate tlrin y.m are and
it pays me bigger wag-s than yoa get
just to give laud awny."
The iuvitati)!) needed norepe'iti i'i,

paid to give hind away required con
siderable ep! mation to the visitor.

lands in severally. That i, to give I
each Indian a homestead, mark it oil' i

to build a house on it, teach him 10 j

him along until he is able to suioort I

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

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

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

means ''bad lands." They still refuse

a few hundred yards of my camp and

after an hour or two's parleying that

spirit of dignity, but I knew that if
the game was opened by my going to
him. I would never cret one of his

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

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.'' Claude Jf.

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

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

Interesting Toons Woman "With Ml-;

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
