BUFFALO ROBES [
GETTING SCARCE
Out in western Kansas one still
frequently sees an old plainsman!
drive into town covered with a
buffalo overcoat or a buffalo lap
robe .in the winter time. How-!
?Ver, buffalo robes are becoming
very scarce and in a few years they
will entirely disappear.
There was a time when Kan?as|
furnished buffalo robes for the!
world. No well regulated family
on an eastern farm was without |
one. They were not only very j
warm, but reasonable in price.
It was the Kaw Indians who
first marketed buffalo robes.
Later, manufacturers seeing the
vast piofit in them, made by the
thousands ar.d supplied the world.
But the manfua<*tureU or patent
tanned robes didn't last as long as
the robes tanned by the Indians.
In fact, it is said that the robes
now in service are those tanned by
those Indians many years before
'he white man began tt tan them.
The Indian women did the tan
ning. They fastened toe greer
hides to a set of frames just like
grandmother used to fastr n her
uuilts to, when she made them.
The s'juaws would then take a blurt
instrument resembling a hoe, and
work off all the flesh and membrane
fr?m the hide.
They called it '?fleshit,g.,?, Jnen
they would rub the skin for several
days with a heavy, smooth surfaced
club until all tl e grease had been
driven out of the hide. They us.d
no chemicals at all in the tanning.
Only hides from buffalo killed
late in the winter were used in
making robes, as the fur was then
heaviest.
Before the Kaws threw the robes
on the market they used them in
making mocasins and winter cloth
ing, also for covering for their j
? epees. But when a market was
established for them and the
Indians would get real money or
real food or real whiskey fur them,
buffalo terees soon disappeared
from the reservation? Kansas City

An attempt was made Tuesday
to wreck a work train near Wads j
worth by sending it over a steep
<? nfiankment. Two Heavy ungle
bars were placer! across the track
by a derailing switch on ? strep
grade. The engineer saw the bars
in time to prevent a wreck that
would have killed twenty workmen
Joe Rossa and 0. Lellie. Italian,,
were arrested and charged with the
crime.

Senator Massey. Key Pittman
and Sarnis Summcrflcld. candidates

SECRETARY WOULD
MAKE ALL MONEY
ISSUED BEAUTIFULii
Hon. Frank MacYeagh, secretary
of the tre-sury, yearns to make
money as t.eautiful as it is good.
His department has been in con
sultation with some of the most
noted artists in the country, and
the dollar is to be worthy of the
man if nol above him. Without
crowding heights of finance bevond
our pedestrian power, we may
remind Mr. MacYeagh and his
designers that there is a simple
way of ornamenting the dollar bill
and making happy a snoblt-ss
people. Make a dollar bill look
like a twenty; even better like a'
hundred. Then the heart of
millions will be satisfied and the
American people to be and not to
appear abundantly annotated. ?

THE FAT ROOSTER
Very few people creiiit chicken* j
with having much sense; but at
least me young rootser proved'
without doubt, that he was wiser j
than he looked. This cokerel has
a habit of ruffling up his feathers
during feeding time, and as he was
about twice as fat as the rest of'
the fowls, his owner decided to j
watch him and to try to find sut
I
the cause of his queer behavior.
One aay, as the fowl* sauntered off
after being fed, the rooster
carried his portly self to a secluded
place by the wood pile, and shook
himself vigorously; whereupon
down fell more than half a pint of
grain which his ruffled feathers
had caught at feeding time. This
he proceeded to eat at {his leisure.
As he continued to ruffle his
feachers and to saunter off to the
wood pile after meals and gained
in size dailv, his owner had every
reason to believe that the rooster
had more than his share of common
chicken sense.
THE WISE INDIAN
Mr. Indian is becoming wise and
the day of progress is marching on
ward. A few. years ago it was
possible for the white brother to
buy his supply of pinenuts for a
few silver pieces and the exchange
of biscuit. That day is passed.
Mr Indian com*'s to town with his
crop of nuts and they are sold at so
much a pound, and to so much is
pretty steep. He knows the read
ing of the scales as well as his
sophisticated white brother.
The Indian if yet wise on another
score For years he was content
with the willow pole to knock the
burrs from the tree. Not so any
more. He buys the tall bamboo
fish pole. It is lighter, straighter.
tougher and does the wo. k better.
The Indian with the long pole gets
the pinenut if not the persimmon.
? Appeal.
Superintendent Davis ol the
Nevada-bunker Hill Mininv com
pany and Robert A. Kinne, a min
ing engineer, and I). L. McConaghy
left for Bullion this morning. Mr
Ki'.ne and Mr. McConaghy will!
look over the situation with the
view of taking a contract to drivel
the company's main working tur.nel
3 ?<) feet. They expect to return
*>unday.
Hetting over Nevada on the out
come of the senatorial contest
favors Key Pittman by big odds.
Washoe dopesters are conceding
the county to Massey but by so
small a margin that it must seem
that his fight is hopeless. From
out the southland comes daily re
ports of increasing Pittman
strength and the democratic sena
torial candidate will undoubtedly
be inthe vote getting so strong in
the districts where he is the best
known that the November vote will
prove to be a real landslide.?
