WORK OF INDIAN
IS PASSING 0111
We hired a carriage in order
to reach my sisters as quickly as
possible. Our way led by all
kinds of sh^.ps that showed a
fine display i^i their show win
dows, We passed large hotels
and a church that had a pro
nouncedly slanting tower, and
up a much winding road, on a
hill that was bordered on each
side with beautiful gardens and
villas, which is the Italian name
for country homes.
Each property was walled in
by stuccoed rock walls and nicely
and elaborate iron gates gave ac
cess to them.
passed imposing cypress, until
we reached the impressive man-,
sion of my sister, with its mar- !
ble stairs, windows railings and ;
and door facing3" and marbled
ornamentations and monuments. j
The rest Was of light brown-tint-'
ed stone work with the excep-j
tion of frieze work underneath j
the roofing that was painted in I
fresco panels showing the differ-!
ent industries of that section by !
a mass.
Red Men Face Problem ol
Existence as Whim for
Their Stuff Goes.
f':iss Luke, Minn.—T>ntne Fashion
who, ever since the Indians relinquisher
tlielr land, lias mulled upon I lie red
men, milking tlielr olmrnoteristic crea
tions popular with the white brethren,
now is frowning upon the offerings ol
'the .dexterous tribesmen.
Dr. VV. TS. Heugerty, superintendent
of I lie Ojitnvu.v sales agency, says that
tin' Indians’ contributions lo cttrio col
lections, such as beaded tilings, blank-
els. lace handkerchiefs and miniature
birch-bark canoes, must tie revolution
ized tet furl her capitalize the modern
while mail's passion for novelties.
The superintendent blames fashion
alone for tile complicated situation
which the agency,• promoted by the
Episcopal diocese of iHilulh, now is
Hi tempi lug to solve by teaching its In
dian proteges that, to continue in the
bloodless fight, against the high cost of
living, they must eater to the fantastic
whims bestowed by custom upon their
while neighbors.
Sales Are Almost Nothing.
Tn years past, according to Doctor
Heagerty, the Indian, or rather his
squaw, found a ready market for the
wastepaper baskets, work baskets,
miniature ennoes and other trinkets
which they made with their own
hands. Rut now fashion decrees that
it Is no lunger correct to have these
curios In sight around the house, so
sales have fallen to virtually nothing.
OJIbwuy women also make exquisite
■ point-lace handkerchiefs which for
merly brought fancy prices, but cus
tom holds that they are no longer in
style,, so these one-time popular orna
ments go a-begging, says the superin
tendent.
“Another conflicting angle,” Doctor
Heagerty continues, “concerns the
bendwork on lings, moccasins nnd
chains done by Ojibway women. The
cost of glass now is so high and the
quality so Inferior that beadwork can
not lie done at a profit.
“And, the worst of nil, the Indian,
deprived of ids tribal customs by the
advance of civilization, cannot under
stand all of this. Jt is especially dif
ficult for them to turn their talents to
other channels.”
The problem was revealed to mission
workers during the first year’s opera
tion of tlie OJIbwuy sales agency. This
agency was established to help the
rapidly diminishing tribesmen to bridge
the gulf between themselves and the
white man’s civilization by effecting
■'an economic and moral reformat ion."
The church would nbollsh the old
,trn<liiu5»postS, whereby the Indfnn re-
exchange for his offerings
iy' food, tobacco nnd the necessi
ties of life, and would obtain cash for
tlielr products. ' / l.

This, it Is lipfeil will Enable them
to learn the true money, so
that 10 yiTtiA'inter when they, accord
ing to law, are no longer government
charges, they will lie able to provide
for themselves.
During tlie period of transition spe
cial attention Is being dlreeted to the
large field for harvesting wild rice nnd
making maple sugar, for which there
always Is u ready pinrket.
“But this work has been hampered
by cruel obstacles, for last year the
maple sap was scarce—In fact there
was not enouglt for the Ojibway fam
ily.—hut tlie wild rice crop was
My heart was beating quicker
at the thought of soon seeing my
only sister, living, again after
such long timey She, at whose
hands, U in my babyhood had
received innumerable kindnesses
and who had mothered me many
a time. I had lost my mother
when an infant only two arid a
half years old,
My nephew was still calling
for his mother while he and the
servants were hunting for her.
My children were refreshing
themselves and viewing the
house while I and my brother
were going through the garden
in search of my sister. Finally,
I heard my dear sister’s voice
coming from the farther end
of the garden and saying in
ian, with its quick darting motor
boats, peaceful sailing boats and
fishing smacks.
The only regret was the reali
zation that our stay was so brief
but my sister solicited the prom
ise of a return soon and a long
stay before the departure for
America. We all agreed to that
and the children also, as they by
this time had themselves fully
befriended with their cousins
and their friends. Only too
soon we went to the station
again to board the train for
Milan.
(To be continued)
The increasingly beautiful
vines, and the beautiful sections-
these all continued to heighten
my happiness until our carriage
baited at the huge and massive'
wrought iron gate of my sister’s
place. My nephew was by this
time frantically calling for his
mother. No response. He open
ed the gate and we wandered
through the terraced garden,
through a profusion of flowers,
vine covered walls, under palms,
alacies, past huge gray, green
and striped aloes, some of which
were eight feet in circumference;
pas-ecKall kinds qf casteas with
their different kinds of stemmed
leaves and shapes of flowers;

Italian, “Praise LJod, praise God”
It was not long before we held
each other in our arms only to
be unclasped when she embraced I
each of my daughters, that had |
by now hurried’to us and my I
sister was talking to them, j,n
overflowing happiness, in Ger- >
man and English, saying how
glad she was that we came and
surprised her and , that she had
seen from her window, our ship
traveling through the ocean.
She then ordered refreshments
brought out under the huge palm
trees and I was surprised at how
cool it was there in the shade in
spite of the fact that it was
about four o’clcck in the after
noon and nearing the end of
June, and the sun shining bright
ly outdoors.
As we sat there listening, re
counting and exchanging mem -
ories, I could -not help but ad
mire Ihe-vvottderful views of this
gu-den the world. The
picturesqu^Sftst lino outstretch

O
Three Famous Lakes
T.lie famous Lakes of Killnrney are
tlirve connected bodies of water, one of
which is about n milo nnd n half front
the town of Klllnniey. They are situ
ated in tlie midst of the Kerry moun
tains.
Get After This One
The apple mouse, better known as
pine mouse, lives in most of tin* East
ern states west to Kansas and Ne
braska, says Nature Magazine, and
some years causes heavy losses among
apple and outer fruit trees.
To Clean Rusty Steel
Busty steel ornaments, fire irons and
the like may be cleaned by being
rubbed well with swee.t oil, enough of
tlie oil being allowed to remain on tlie
article to soak in for some time.
Courtesy’s Great Value
Courtesy is a science of the highest
importance. It Is like grace and
beauty In the body, which charm at
first sight, and lead us on to further
intimacy.
Envy Well Defined
Envy is a littleness of soul which
cannot see beyond a certain point, and
if it does no' occupy the whole space
feels itself excluded.—Haziitt.

Popular Proverb
The expression, “Out of tlie frying
pan into tlie tire,” means that In trying
to extricate yourself from one evil, you
fell into a greater. The ancient Greeks '
used to say, “Out of tlie smoke, into
tlie flame," and tlie French say, “Tom-
lire de la poele dans la braise,” that
is, to fall from tlie stove into the hot
coals.
