GETS INDIAN CURIOS. Noted Anthropologist Returns From Study of Indians at Fort Berthold. Grand Forks.—Dr. Robert H. LoWle, asalatant curator of the department of anthropology at the American Museum of Natural History, lias just returned from a four months' trip spent among the Crow Indians of Montana and among the tribes of Indians in North Dakota, known as the Tidatsa, Mandan and Arakara, says The New York Sun of last Sunday. The object of Dr. I.owle's trip was to gather data in regard to the social and oeremonlal life of the Indians in the northwest and to collect speciments to Illustrate the life of the savages aa well the old crafts and industries. The first three months Dr. Lowle epeat In Montana, and the last month he lived on the Fort Berthold reservation in North Dakota. He has succeeded In gathering full data In regard to the military socloltles and considerable material relating to the various tribes In the west. The specimens Dr. Lowle obtained Include number of badges used by Indians and saored paraphernalia em ployed by the red men in their Im pressive ceremonials. Among the spec imens are several buffulo skins, shields, ornamented with symbolical palntlna and medloine bundles containing sa cred tobacco seeds used In the annual tobacco planting ceremony, now the greatest religious festival celebrated by the Crows. Dr. Lowle also obtained a lagrs number of sacred rocks used by th* Crows. An Interesting piece In his col lection is a sacred doll employed in the sun dance. It Is made of rough leathei and rudely ornamented with a few feathers. A curious object found by Dr. Lowl« Is an otter skin stuff used by the In dians as a standard by certain offloeri In the military societies. The bearei of this standard is supposed to '-till It firmly In the ground and then U» a brave stand against the enemy, re gardless of personal danger. If he re treats after planting the standard h« Is disgraced for life. A11 of these our los will be placed on view In the In dian hall of the museum. Dr. Lowie made a preliminary trip three years ago to the Crow country, but this year ho was able to make a more exhaustive study of th« Indlar life and ceremonials. Gypsies Abandon Farms, Spirltwood.—Gypsy life had too strong a hold on a band of gypsies that thought a bit of farming life would satisfy them better than a con tinuation ot the roaming habit. Thir teen families came to Spirltwood about a year ago, purchasing farms and commenced operating them, bul on« by one they have all gone away and now only one of the families re main here. The gypsies admit thai the Idea of farm life was not to their liking, and that was the reason they again took up their travels. Ladies Competing for Office.

WOMEN IN SCOTCH PRISONS Humane Methods In Glasgow's Jail Are to Be Adopted In England. Totally rough, ignorant women coming Into a Scottish prison, sent up for a reasonably long time, leave there with some useful handicraft at their fingers' end, even such arts as fine oriental rugmaklng, skillful needle work and professional cookery being some of the many money making self and homo*ustalnlng trades and things there taught. Glasgow's prison per mits no degrading sense of being spied upon and watched and driven by a harsh, bulldozing Jailer all the time, the New Tork Press eays. The boat dog, to say nothing of a man or wom an, can have his character and self respect destroyed by being constantly overseen, browbeaten and hounded by a low human character. Glasgow's system compels prisoners to forget for awhile the soul-destroying degra dation of the prison and even makes Ihe onlooker think he Is in a busy, happy, flrst-class factory. Women in the prison of the great Scotch iiy are encouraged to look and feel their natural best, to hold up their heads and make the most, of their figures and appearance. Ugly khaki garb has been discarded for woman's wear In prison, with noat ind becoming gowns. Their hair is dressed simply and naturally to suit the contour of each face. Every woki an has her own looking glass. Oalis thenic instructors in Glasgow's jail teacli women how to walk gracefully and hold up their heads._ How Is this for a Glnsgy tolbootli? But Tip Is no bawbee or gaberlunzie lad to find fault, but It seems a long way from 'he old "double Jougs" and "duck stool" to looking-glass and walking masters. England Is following Scotland. By a recent order of the home office the Scotch system Is to apply to all fe male prisoners between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two, of whom, in England, there are nowadays far, fur too many Starting out, a large num ber of the offenders and the unfor tunates are to be sent to Aylesbury prison to learn some of the arts taught in the Scottish prisons, such work lis knitting, sewing, dressmaking, house keeping and cooking. BIG CONTRAST IN METHODS Difference In Way American and Can adian Authorities Deal With the Indians. A recently Issued book on "The Riders of the Plains, an account of the northwest mounted police of Can ada, published In London, gives a number of Instances showing the dif ference between the Canadian and the United States' methods of treating the Indiana. One of these Is to the effeot that a number of Canadian Indians, who had been concerned In the half breeds' rebellion of many years ago, fled over the border to the states. These most undesirable Immigrants were told they must go back. The Canadian government Anally said It would" take care of these Indians If the states would send them over the border. And here is the conclusion of the story: In due course 200 very dissatisfied and wild-eyed Crees, with 460 horses, were rounded up and started north ward, with a strong force of United Stales cavalry In attendance. They were met at the boundary line by three mounted policemen, one oorporal and two troopers. The American commanding offloer looked at them with a surprised air. "Where's your escort for these In dians?" he asked. "We're here," answered the oor poral. "Tea, yes, I see. But Where's your regiment T" "I guess It's here, all right," said the corporal. "The other fellow's look Ing after th* breakfast things." "But are there only four of you, then?" I "That's so, colonel hut you see, wei wear the queen's scarlet." And these four redcoats were all that were necessary to take theae S00 Indians, their horses and belongings a distance of more tlian one hundred tnflen fnto Canadian territory where they could bother the United States no more. Writ Was Not Served. A ludicrous incident occurred when Carter, the lion king, as he waa called, was exhibiting with Ducrow, at Lon don. A manager with whom Carter had made and broken an engagement, Issued a writ against him. The bailiffs came up to the stage door and asked foi Carter. "Show the gentlemen up." said Ducrow and when they reached the stage there sat Carter composedly In the great cage, with an enormous lion on each side of him. "There's Mr. Carter, waiting for you, gentle men," said Ducrow. "Go in and take him. Carter, my boy, open the door." Carter proceeded to obey, at the same time eliciting by a private signal a tremendous roar from his companions. The balllfTs staggered back in terror, rolled over each other as they rushed downstairs, and nearly fainted before they reached the stieet. The Other 8lde. "I see you employ a number of old men." "I do." "How old are they?" "Too old to be int rested in canoe ing, or mandolins, or race horses, or Kir's, or i.s That makes 'em fine 1 for 'vorK" THE ALLIANCE HAIL ASSOCIA TION HAS MADE GOOD AGAIN B. F.
