$ Tbs Real Cbiaamao. The Chinese are the most easily gov¬ erned race in the world, if jk-ople will only strive to understand them. The real Chinaman of the interior—an in¬ dividual totally distinct from the Treaty Port sharks and quayside loaf¬ ers, who are generally former jailbirds from the Hinterland—is peaceable, hospitable, courteous to strangers, easi¬ ly managed, and good to his wife and neighbors. When be puts his "chop” ‘or “hong” stamp on paper, be may be relied upon to carry out his bargain honestly. Two hundred native-drilled troops will keep a district of 200,000 such mefl in peace and order, to long as their religibus. and other ceremonies ore not causelessly interfered with. Monograms Carved In Leather Purses. In place of the brass or silver mono¬ grams for the finger purses that are used so generally by women the let¬ ters now are carved in the leather. This is done only In the high-grade purses made of the best pig or calf skin. The metal letters became too common to be satisfactory to the fastidious, es peelally as it was rather a conspicuous form of publishing one’s identity. I'as.sing of the Horse.

Last week was a hard one for the old mon of the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache tribes of Indians, says the Wichita <Kan.) correspondent of the Chicago Record They had to give up all of their wires but one. Some of the medicine chiefs had as many as ten women whom they called wives. All but the favorite one are now living away from the old buck’s tepee. When the law was passed throwing own to settlement the Kiowa. Coman¬ che and Apache reservation, it was de¬ cided that these Indians should be more civilized. It was with this end in vlf>w that Indial> *S ent an ' nouneed to all the men that they must give up their numerous wives, or they would receive no part of the Land to he ailoted, nor would they receive their share of the money shortly to be paid them. It was a hard blow to the tribes, as they have always practiced polygamy without any interference. In reply to a letter from Agent Mis chare, the Indians gathenad at Darling¬ ton on the first of the week. The old men had all of their wives with them. The agent made a speech to them in which he set forth the fact already stated. The medicine men made re dles ... Rolling ... ., ionj, , lio had .. . ,__ ten _ u . - beautiful young squaws and one old one, was the principal talker against 1 le & 1 , ' . up of . Ids ... wives, He said that they represented him as a wealthy man and if he had to give all of them up but one the Indians would think that , he was a very poor man and , , he would lose his influence among his peo pie. lie said that for his wives he had paid nearly 1,000 ponies and had been twenty years in gathering them around his tepee. He made no mention of lov ing uny of them, but said they were good workers and tended his crops in good shape. The agent asked him if he loved them and which one he liked best. He made no reply, saying he did not understand the question. Then the agent told him lie must make liis choice then and there. The squaws were all lined up before the old man and he looked at them long and earn¬ estly. Finally lie selected the oldest one, she being shown in the photograph with him. Rolling Pony lias been an Indian police for the last ten years, , JUt h( , t(|Jd th(? agent „ e WU8 going t0 quit now, as the government had not given him a fair , . deal. , , ,,,, The discarded .. . , squaws will be taken charge of by Hie Indian agent and made to work for their living. Narjo, a Kiowa warrior, had five wives, but he gave up all but one. Hawkey, a Comanche policeman, had eight wives and lie kept the oldest one. About sixty old men had to give up their miuiy wives and they invariably took the one they lmd bought first, casting t the .. youngest and _ prettiest , aside. The squaws who were thus de sorted did liot 80011 ) to mill (1 it, but wore glad to be released from the hard work in their husband’s harem. The old men were very much against giving up the many squaws, first because tln^y represented many ponies and, second, they were a mark of influence in In¬ dian society. The more squaws a med¬ icine man possessed the more popular he was. It ls among this class of peo¬ ple that the white people who want to take free homes in the new country to be given away soon will have to live. They are peaceable Indians now, but they cling to their old customs with a deathlike tenacity.

TJeek, from head to shoulders, a mass of brietlmg hair, sharp-pointed ears, long-snouted. lips snarling, fangs drip¬ ping; yelping rather than barbing: wolfish of aspect and not nice to look upon when in anger—this is tne husky, or wolf-dog of the North. Much has been said of the Klondike, but these magnificent brutes, which in the be g.nn.ug made that frigid El Dorado puss.ble, have received little more than passing comment. Nor has this neg¬ lect been due to their being but the humble servants of the master, man. Timy are far from humM«. as their wild ancestry attests. Tney may bo beaten into submission, but that will not prevent them still snarling their hatred. They may be starved into ap¬ parent docility and then die suddenly. With teeth fast locked in a brother's throat, torn to pieces by their com¬ rades. Rather, has little attention been accorded them because the in¬ terest of man has gravitated inexor¬ ably toward the natural, mineral and social features of that far-northerly land. But the husky is far from uninter¬ esting. Aa a type of endurance, no better evolved product of natural se¬ lection need lie sought. If ever a species has been born and bred of hard times, it has. Only the fittest, in a bard struggle for existence extending through a thousand generations, have survived. And they are well tit.

The truth about this great medicine is told in the letters from women being published in this paper constantly* The Right Tuck, Tbo time is past when the feminine shopper “takes things as she finds them.” She knows what she wants, and she persists until she gets it. AU this was plainly shown by one of her who hunted for tucked taffeta. Un¬ fortunately, she knew just the size of the tucks she wanted, as well as the distance they should be apart, to fit in with her Ideas. Everybody agreed that what she wanted was not to be found, until she was quite desperate, aud, at last, de¬ manded of a firm if they did not get 6ome of their tucking done in town. Such turned out to he the case, and presently was favored with the ad¬ dress of this firm, and, contrary to her fears, found the establishment, where this tucking and shirring was done, to be witliiu a stone’s throw of this very store. Furthermore, they accommodated her by tucking a few yards exactly to her mind, aud all for “a cent a tuck a yard.” Of course, this price would not hold if fancy tucking was required on partly made garments, but for “straight ahead” work, in clusters, or equal distances, on uncut lengths, It does. Besides, one may select one's own taffeta, buying a warranted sort, which will probably be better than that to be had ready tucked.

Justly, it would seem, if there be truth in the report that two border outlaws chased a (lozten members of the Diamond R. round-up outfit for twenty miles in terror-stricken search for refuge, to the town of Culbertson. Think of it: Twelve doughty knights of the plain, blue of lip and wild of eye, spurring their horses to incontinent flight over sagebrush and bunch grass, and ever and anon turning their wan faces backward over shivering shoulders for a look at their relentless pursuers. Picture in your mind’s eye the scud¬ ding of a dozen jack rabbits, close pressed by a pair of ravenous wolves! Oh, the horror of it! The report from Culbertson says that the cowboys were unarmed, ex¬ cepting one or two guns in the whole outfit. It is a harsh allegation, and public judgment should be suspended pending the receipt of further particu¬ lars. If it be proved true—ah, well, we of Montana must blush for the shame of it! The 1 traditions of the gun are dear to the Western heart. It has barked defiance to law and order, it lias been the chief property of the cowboy comedy of “shooting up the town” and it has furnished ragtime music for many a tenderfoot to dance by. Has the westward course of em¬ pire relegated the “shooting iron” to the scrap pile? Has it gone the way of the brown buffalo and the pre¬ served Indian? Will it no longer dan¬ gle in menace from the belt of the bold vaquero? It would seem so, for the report has it that the Diamond R. Outfit was unarmed. All the world will join i» the north¬ ern Montana vyail. The Iconoclast, Time, has shattered the Idol of the “wild and wmoly west." The long locks of the cowboy have been shorn; his goatee is preserved only as a mem¬ ory pn the aging face of Buffalo Bill Cody; his buckskin habiliments liavp given way to overalls and jumpers and his bravery is bound between the yellow covers of a nickel novel. Twelve cowboys chased by two bandits! They will not believe it in the east, where the popular Idea of the cowboy is still somewhat awesome and picturesque. Here In Montana, swallowing our pride, we will hence¬ forth look upon him as a herder of cattle and brander of calves—our calfboy.—Butte City (Mon.) Inter Mountain. It would seem the very irony of fate for a man to reach the age of 100 years and then die by accident, Just such a sad occurrence took place in Minne¬ apolis a few days since.

In spite of all the diatribes hurled against it, the trailing skirt still drags its weary length along with a deter¬ mination not to be supplanted by the skirt designed according to the laws of health and common sense. It clings as closely to the hips as ever, although some of the recent importations show the breadths gathered or pleated about the hips in true old time fashion. One might conclude that this method would destroy all graceful lines, but when handled by an expert the result is to make the waist more slender and com ceal noticeably prominent hips. Many new skirts fall apart at the centre front, where a contrasting breadth is placed beneath, frequently showing elaborate garnitures of cut out linen embroidery', which, by the way, is to be a feature among trimmings this season, Oregon recently voted on woman's suffrage, and It was a close call; 26,265 for, and 28,402 against it.
