MODERN INDIAN ROMANCE.
Will the Girl, Educated at Carlisle,
Refuse to Be Bought for Four
Ponies?
Unsuccessful in his suit ito win the
hand of an Indian maiden who is in
the Carlisle Indian school, Charlie
Red Horse, whose name in the Ute
language is unpronounceable, sat in
the Union depot last night awaiting
the departure of an eastbound train,
having in his pocket a scrawled let
ter from the girl’s parents on the New
Mexican Ute reservation telling that
the girl had been sold to him for the
sum of four ponies. The question
now arises, and Charles has evidently
overlooked it, whether or not the girl
who has enjoyed four years schooling
in Carlisle will be willing to marry
him, simply because the Indian went
through the primeval custom of hand
ing over four ponies to the girl's par
ents, who are in need of stock.
There is much of Indian romance
connected with the story of Charlie
and his fair Ute maiden of Carlise,
whose name he pronounced in the Ute
language, but did not know the Eng
lish interpretation. Both were chil
dren together on the reservation
years ago. The girl was placed in
the Carlisle school when she was 15
years old, while Charlie was appoint
ed as one of the Indian police on the
reservation. When Charlie concluded
that it was about time for him to
marry he began looking for a bride
among the maidens of the Utes on the
reservation, and finding none whose
beauty compared with she who had
gone to the Indian school years be
fore he concluded that he must win
the affections of the girl at Carlisle.
Consequently two months ago he went
to the school, obtained a hearing with
the girl, received no encouragement,
and concluded that the best thing for
him to do was to work in the Ameri
can way and win the sanction of the
prospective parents-in-law. In conse
quence he hurried to the reservation,
looked up the poor and aged parents
lof the girl and set about winning
their sanction to his marriage with'
I their daughter.
I The contract was finally’ made,
through the handing over by Charlie
' of the best four ponfes on the reserva
tion. With the letter from the par
ents in his pocket he is now on his
way to the Indian school, w-here he
will present the written wishes of the
parents to the girl with the hope that
she will return with him. Charlie
says that he can care for her in the
best possible manner, and this is not
doubtful, as the police on the reserv
ation are usually the most prosperous
of all the Indians. Anyway Charlie
left Denver last night with high hopes
of his ultimate success. It is Char
lie’s intention to bring the girl back
to the reservation, presupposing that
she is willing to come, for it is hardly
probable that a sale such as Charlie
concluded with the parents will hold
good with a girl who is about to grad
uate from the great school. —Denver

The First Queen’s Theatre.
The opening of the Queen’s thea
tre in Shaftesbury avenue, London,
revives the following recollection:
The first Queen’s theatre was so
called in honor of good Queen Anne,
and was opened in 1705. On the ac
cession of King George it became the
King’s. Rebuilt in 1790, still as the
King's, on the succession of Queen
Victoria it became Her Majesty’s, and
Mr. Tree’s handsome playhouse, His
Majesty’s, now occupies the same site.
Another Queen’s was there off Totten
ham Court road, for the house which
the Bancrofts made famous as the
Prince of Wales was in its early
years known by that title. The Queen’s
theatre freshest in playgoers’ memo
ries, however, is the one which, in
1867, was opened in Longacre. For
merly St. Martin’s Hall, this play
house, second only to Old Drury for
size in that part of Loudon, had no
very fortunate career; but in its com
panies it boasted of many famous
names: Toole, Brough, Charles Wynd
ham, Phelps-, and —Henry Irving.—

The Devil’s Disciple.
Charles F. Lummis, the well-known
author, traveller and authority on In
dians, appeared recently in Washing
ton in a corduroy suit, a sash and a
sombrero.
“Mr. Lummis,” said a reporter, “in
your study of the Indians you must
have come upon many strange things.”
“In any study,” said the novelist,
“one comes upon strange things. Take,
for instance, the study of childhood.
Nothing reveals stranger things than
that.
“I know a little boy in Los Angeles.
He was bad the other day, and his
mother punished him.
“After his punishment he was seen
to go to his father’s desk and write
something on a sheet of paper. Then
he went out into the garden, dug a
little hole and buried the paper in it.
“His mother, after he had gone away
dug up the paper. It contained these
words:
"Dear devil, please come and take
mamma.’ ’’—Pittsburg News.
Wasted Wealth.
The delivery at a cold storage house
in Astoria of a 510-pound sturgeon a
few days ago is remindful of the old
days when sturgeon of the size and
much larger were too plentiful to
cause comment. In those old days
more of the big fish were used for fer
tilizer than were used for food, and
like a good many other of the great
natural resources of the state the Ore
gonians failed to appreciate the value
of the big fish until they were practic
ally extinct. —Portland Oregonian.
