clothing of civilization as he is in full
war paint and feathers. Major Gordon
W. Lillie (Pawnee Bill), in relating his
experience with the red man says:
'"Give an Indian money and he will buy
a hat if he is where hats are sold and
worn. The chances are that he never
owned a head-covering in all his
previous life, and let him remain in
the brush he will not want it. But it
happens that as soon as he comes East
he wants to dress like the people he sees
around him, and, consequently, his
value as an exhibit detracts as soon as |
he dons the garb of a white man." Few
Indians are used after they have travel
ed one season, for itis next to impossible
to make them stick to their own
manner of costume. This is more es
pecially so with the bucks than with
the squaws, who seek to merely add
color to their dress rather than modify
style of garment. A squaw will dress
her hair just the same as her parents
did for centuries. Mr. Buck, however,
wants his hair cut same as pale-face
brother, and thus it is that every season
Pawnee Bill has a new set of Indians
for his Wild West, iri order that his ex
hibit of Indians may be in all the fan
tastic array that characterizes him on
his natiye plain.

massive vault-like entrance and are
within the famous Cabret-de-la Morte,

life tc death. In this compartment one
of the yisitors is taken in charge
by the undertaker and changed to a

audience.

supreme, where the punishment dealt

amazing reality.

Sataoic Majesty, seated on his fiery
throne, the visitors are conducted to the
beautiful Cave of the Mourning, Para
dise. A beautiful crystal cave, where
all is glittering with gold and silver
and where the beautiful illusion "Fra
Diavalo" is presented mid the sweet
streams of music.
