INDIANS AT OMAHA. ASSEMBLY OF ALL THE TRIBES AT THE EXPOSITION. Cougret Provided for Tlila Kare .ethno logical Kxhlbltlon Aboriginal Hub Its, Garnet, Etc., to be Illustrated Tli Last Gathering of the Kind. Before the 5."th congress adjourned tin appropriation of 10,000 was inatle for the purpose of having1 an assembly of all the Indian tribes at the Trans- Mississippi Exposition at Omaha this summer. This will undoubtedly be the rarest ethnological exhibition ever attempted in this or anj' other land. Situated in the heart of the great American union, within easy reach of all the remaining1 great Indian reser vations, it has been possible, at com paratively slight expense, to gather upon the Exposition grounds a show which would be possible nowhere else in America. Delegations from every tribe in the Union will be on the grounds at one time or another during the Exposition in their wickiups,tents,tepecs,wigwams and cabins, pursuing their usual avoca tions and illustrating their dances, religious rites and savage customs, make up a show unlike anything ever before presented. Each type will be exhibited in appropriate costume with weapons, utensils, industrial appli ances and handiwork. Their games, solemn festivals, peculiar customs and natural surroundings will be repro duced. In connection with these illus trations of savage life, exhibits of their industrial advancement, their school work and other incidents of their sure but slow movement toward civilization and enlightenment will be prominent. The Indian department at Washing ton has placed at the disposal of the Exposition its facilities for making1 up this notable exhibit. It is probably the .last opportunity of seeing the American Indian as a savage, for gov ernrucnt work now in progress will lilt the savage Indian into American citizenship, will wipe out the Indian reservation and will make the savage Indian and the reservation Indian but a thing of history.

A(1'lrea. :iVAIti U.U AI.KKKCAUKIAiK COn UOillKN, INDIANA, BAIULLOX'8 BABY. Trawley came Into Dotld'g palntlnz shop and eat down heavily on one of the Impracticable couches. "Darlllon's baby's dead." he ob served, feeling along the hearthrug for matches. "That so?" remarked Dodd, without looking up from the black and white before him. "Yes. What the deuce did a poor devil like Earlllon want babies for, anyhow?" "H'm!" commented Dodd. "What I want to know Is, what induced a fair ly euccessful French landscape painter to settle over here? Even American landscape painters can't sell unless they start a young ladies' daubing school or give couchee-couchee danced in their studios." There was silence. Dodd was per forming some mysterious rites with a discarded tooth brush on the back ground of his black and white. Traw ley was thinking. The door opened unceremoniously and Lutterworth came In. Lutterworth was Dodd's partner In rent paying, and their wardrobes were In common. Con sequently Dodd Immediately observed that the other man's overcoat wa3 missing. "What did you get for it?" he asked severely. "Only $2.50. Lazarus said it was an old, old friend, or he shouldn't have given even that. You needn't hold out your paw, Doddy; you are not going to get oni cent of it. Haven't you heard that poor old Barlllon's baby died this morning?" "Well?" Interrogated Dodd, relaxing his grip on the Ink bottle. "Well! Do you think that we ought to allow the city to get hold of that little scrap o humanity? No, my boy. The Parillon baby was the guest of American Art, and American Art's go ing to bury the Barlllon baby." "For $2.50!" Interposed Trawley. "You mean well, Lutterworth, but the thing's absurd." "Look here," said Lutterworth, push ing some books off his bed and sitting down in their place. "I never fancied we could do the whole thing for $2.50. But a collection " "Collection nothing!" Dodd ex elalmed with emphasis. "There's not enough money to buy a sparrow ln the entire settlement. Do you think I 'should be toiling here if wealth could be pleked up for the asking?" Lutterworth shook his head deject edly. Then he took $2.&0 from his pocket and began counting It. "Carillon doesn't know a soul but ourselves," he said. "Besides, the poor chap can't speak more than Ave words of English. And as for little Madam? Barl I don't know what she'll do If the city gets her baby." Once more there was silence In the painting shop. Dodd was laboring fruitlessly, as It seemed, to produce a foggy effect with a piece of smudgy Indian rubber. Trawley succeeded In GENTLEMEN, 1 WANT THE HINT, finding a match and lighted a raking Pittsburg stogey. The smoke was to him as Delphic vapors were to the priestess perched on her tripod. "Inspiration!" he cried. "Let us make a coffin ourselves. Where are those carpenter tools of yours, Dod3y?" Dodd almost hurled the black-and-white into a corner. Lutterworth al lowed the money to sink back Into his pocket. Both were on their feet In an Instant. "You'll find the tools In the closet," said Dodd. "That window seat will do for a coffin, won't It?" "Yes; and the white hangings to line It with," ejaculated Lutterworth, tear ing down a gorgeous satin mantle, the pride of Dodd's collection, as he spoke. Trawley fished out the carpenter'3 tools; Dodd found some brass-headed nails, and to work with a will went this trio of amateur undertakers. Slowly the window seat, which had once been a macaroni box, found Itself metamorphosed for the third time on this occasion Into a really respectable looking coffin. A paint pot, borrowed from the Janitor, lent color to the exte rior; the Interior was richly lined with Dodd's white satin hangings. The brass-headed nails, set nearly a-row, kept the satin In place, and Dodd painted on the lid the Inscription: "Etlenne-Aloys Barlllon, aged 10 months." As they put the finishing touches to their work, there came a knock to the door, and, without being bidden to enter, old Flannagan, landlord-ln-ordl-ary to all that dwelt beneath that room, heaved his corpulent frame Into tho painting shop. "GIntlemen," wheezed Mr. Flanna gan, "I've come afther the rlnt." "One moment, Flannagan; one mo ment," said Lutterworth. "We're Just finishing this coffin." Mr. Flannagan's Jaw dropped, for the word "coffin" reminded him of how grasping landlords were said to have been treated In his native Ireland. "Flnlshln' a coffin!" he repeated, fal terlngly. Dodd laughed. Don't worry, Flannagan," he said. "It's not for you." And then, as they lifted the box from the midst of chips and shavings, and get H proudly on the drawing table, they explained to Mr. Flannagan Its ral purpose. The burly landlord regarded them cautiously for awhile, as though dread ing come Jest, but presently bis fea tures relaxed Into a grim smile. "Sure, an' I suppose ye've been o busy," he said, "that ye didn't hare time to get the rlnt ready?" "The rent must wait," said Dodd. "It glnerally docs, bedad," retorted Flannagan. "Well, I won't bother ye now, boys, as I see ye're Just settln' up In a new business. Good mornln to ye, an' good luck to the undhertakln' busi ness." "Cold-hearted old pig!" growled Dodd, as the door banged behind his landlord. "Had to make a Joke of It, of course. Some people seem to have no feelings." "Oh, these coarse natures, you know!" said Trawley. "What can you expect from an ex-contractor, whom fate has made the landlord of a studio building? But I say! We have a lot to do yet. The coffin, fine as It Is, won't save Barlllon's baby from the city. We must discover some means of raising money." "I have two dollars fifty Lut terworth was beginning, when the door opened once more, this time to admit the Janitor. He held a handsome bun dle of white rosea In one hand, and in the other a penciled note, which he presented to Dodd. "From Mr. Flannagan!" he said. Dodd opened the note and read It aloud, at first with some Impatience, but with growing wonder as he pro-ceeeded. "Mister Flannagan presents his com pliments," It ran, "but will you kindly accept these roses to put on that coffin cf yours? I suppose the French artist cannot afford a plot In the cemetery. Well, sir, I own a big one, and there's only myself and my wife. We'll feel mighty pleased If the French artist will take a little slice of the Flannagan ground. Mister Flannagan also pre sents his compliments, and says that if you like I will send my carriage around to that Fench artist's, as may be he can't hire a hearse. I also send a little money with Mister Flannagnn's components, to defray expenses. "J. J. FLANNAGAN." "P. S. That coffin is a dandy, and I don't like to see It go to waste." Dodd looked penitently at Lutter worth. "I take It all back about the coarse natures," exclaimed Trawley. "That 'andlord of yours Is a trump. What good news for poor Barlllon!" "One touch of nature," said Dodd, taking up the black-and-white from the corner. "Bless me, that misty effect seems quite successful now or is It ray eyes?" Gerald Brenan In the Easter Criterion. WALNUTS. Just why walnuts were named as they are is a mystery, for the word means "foreign nut." The black v;al nut Is Indigenous to this country, and probably received Us name from its resemblance to the English walnut. Anglo-Saxons coined the name In their own home before they came to Britain and found the nut which the Romans had doubtless brought over, as It was one of their favorite delicacies. In the old world the walnut Is found wild in the Banat territory of Hun gary, In the mountains of Greece, In Armenia, the north of India and In Japan. The Greeks neglected their na tive trees and imported a better va riety from Persia. The Romans culti vated It to a great extent and got the ! first trees from Persia. They threw nuts at weddings as we throw rice. The old proverb says that "he who plants a walnut tree expects not to eat the fruit." The tree is one of the slow est to come to maturity we know, for It does not bear till 20 years old. An old farmer and tree-grower gives a3 a rule for planting walnut trees to dig a shallow hole, place in a layer of de cayed leaves from the woods, plant the nuts with the husks removed, cover with a email heap of leaves and next year you will find some have grown. In another year you may use your dis cretion about what saplings shall be left to grow KUurtitlon of Lions. When Hons were still numerous and easily observed In Southern Africa they were sometimes seen Instructing one another in voluntary gymnastics and practicing their leaps, making a bush play the part of the absent game. Moffat tells the Btory of a Hon which had missed a zebra by miscalculating the distance, repeating the Jump sev eral times for his own Instruction. Two of his comrades coming upon him while he was engaged In the exercise, he led them around the rock to show them how matters stood, and then, re turning to the starting point, com pleted the lesson by making a final leap. The animals kept roaring dur ing the whole cf the curious scene, "talking together," as the native who watched them said. By the aid of In dividual training of this kind indus trial animals become apter as they grow older; old birds, for Instance, constructing more artistic nests than young ones, and little animals like mice becoming more adroit with age. Yet, however ancient in the life of the species these acquisitions may be, they have not the solidity of primor dial instincts, and are lost rapidly If not used. Kansas City Journal. Deadly Dull.
