"RED THUNDER," SIOUX IN 101 RANCH INDIAN CAMP When the management of the 101 Ranch Wild West show, which is an Oklahoma product, called upon Iron Tail, the old Sioux Chief whose pro file is on the new "buffalo" nickel, to appoint a "policeman" to preserve the peace among the many Indians with the show, his choice fell upon Red Thunder, a Sioux brave from the Pine Ridge reservation, South Da kota. The position of "policeman" In the Wild West Indian village was not a new departure for Red Thunder. Out on the Indian reservation he had held the position of conservator of the peace for several winters. In the 101 Ranch show, which Har risburg will see Friday, August 27, Red Thunder's duties as "policemen" are not very strenuous. When Jeal- OOOSIHARRISBURG FOR P. 0. S. A.

C. 8. COTS »100,000 A YEAR Seranton, Pa., Aug. 24. Retrench ment at the International Correspon dence Schools was announced yester day, when Vice-President Ralph E. Weeks aserted that through the abol ishment of some departments, the con solidation of others and the pensioning of some of the oldest employes on half pay SIOO,OOO a year had been saved from the running expenses. Other changes contemplated, he said, would effect an equal saving. Mr. Weeks added: "It Is our Inten tion to make the International Cor respondence Schools a pure business afTair. with dividends earned by the m come." HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH ousy is aroused among the young braves over the pretty Indian girls. Red Thunder acts as peacemaker; when an Indian actor shirks his work in the performance, the "policeman" admonishes him and makes him toe the mark; when a quarrel occurs be tween the Indians of the rival tribes comprising' the Indian congress, Red Thundrer separates the combatants and incarcerates them In the "cala boose" in the rear of the Indian vil lage. Singularly enough, this "cala boose," which is simply a small tepee or canvas tent, has no guards. When an Indian is incarcerated there is a sense of disgrace and an aboriginal conception of honor that prevents him from making any effort to es cape, and he "does time" without a murmur.—Advertisement.
