SIOUX PARTY CALLS. j Uiteu Dally Visits to the Studio— Entertained at Tea. The Indians have made their party calls. That Is, after the studio tea, to which the party of nine Sioux gentle men was invited by Mrs. Gertrude Kasebier the other day, to have their pictures taken. In fact, they have made a great many calls, and the tea was the beginning of a round of festivi ties of a mild nature. It seems that with Sioux gentlemen an invitation, or even a call without an Invitation, is considered the equiva lent to a declaration of friendship for life, and they do not neglect any of the amenities. "If you have had those Indians there once, they will spend the greater part of their time with you while they are around this part of the country," some one said to Mrs. Kasebier immediately after the studio lea. "Well, let them come," she answered, stoutly, still remembering her early life on the plains. "1 shall be glad to see them." And they do come, and they are al ways cordially received. Callers of this kind might not be so agreeable in a. private house, but in a studio it is somewhat different, and Mrs. Kasebier and the young women artists who share the studio with her gaze at their guests with a feeling of deep artistic a ppreciation. Hut the gentlemen tire by no means bores. Their calls are comparatively short. After staying about half an lioiti* the one who for the time being condescends to speak English inquires about the time. The hostesses then know that their callers are about to leave, anil shortly after lliev depart with polite good-byes. The pictures taken were a great suc cess. They were works of art, and, more than that, the Sioux gentlemen, who cannot be expected to have an aesthetic appreciation, saw likenesses with which they were well pleased. They were so delighted that one of them, coming again, insisted in asking one of the young women artists to have her picture taken with him. And she did, with a cup of tea in her hands and Mr. What-Ever-His-Name-Hap pened-to-Be smiling at tier in quite a civilized fashion, lie insisted in wait ing for a. picture, and remarked, in courteous Indian English: "Want one." Out that was one request that was not granted. Although the picture was a great success and a delight to the studioites and their confreres, showing delightful artistic qualities, even a pic turesque Sioux gentleman cannot have everything he wishes, and Mr. What- Ever-liis-Name-Happened -to-Be did not even see it. There was only one of the gentlemen guests at the studio tea who was not pleased with the pictures. He was one of the older gentlemen. It all goes to show that it is not the very youthful people or the women who are vain. The objector was Mr. Iron Tail. Mr. Iron Tail could not be called, strictly speaking, beautiful, but he was won derfully picturesque, with his dark coloring and strongly marked face. The picture, taken, simply, without the addition of a feather headdress, was like a study in bronze. Hut Iron Tail said it was too black ;>nd he tore it up. Now he is having a picture taken to look white, but natural conditions will prevent his appearing too much like a paleface.—N. V. Sun. Ueii-enx of Hubert Morrln, Mrs. Catherine Snyder, of Warsaw, Indiana, has been proved the rightful heir of Robert Morris, the Revolution ary financier. Every schoolboy lias read of Robert Morris and of his patriotic acts during the war for American independence. Besides obtaining large sums from other sources, the patriot loaned to the Continental Congress a large part of his private fortune. The records show these loans to have aggregated about SIOO,OOO. The Interest for over a century lias swelled this sum to upward of one million dollars. This sum, it is ex pected, will be paid to Mrs. Snyder, who is probably the sole heir. Although Government officials have kept a discreet silence respecting this fortune, an investigation has been in progress for years. It was known that Robert Morris had a number of chil dren: that all died without issue ex cept James Morris, and thai after con siderable trouble a son was traced to Middletown, 0.. where he died about seventy years ago. His demise left his two children—a boy of two and a girl of live years orphans. The boy was adopted by a family which later went to Western Kansas or Nebraska, and which cannot bo traced. Mrs. Snyder is about seventy-live years of age. She was born in Middle town, 0., and was early left an orphan. She was adopted by a neighbor, one John Snyder, who removed to Warsaw County. Here Ills adopted daughter grew up almost ignorant of her lineage, Snyder himself being an ignorant man. Mrs. Snyder is a quiet, kindly, unas suming old lady, an earnest Christian and accustomed to habits of frugality. Since the publication of the news of her lucJc the mails have been flooded with letters, mostly from beggars, though one or two contained offers of marriage. Gold and 'While Popular.

Piette, who devotef much time and money to the researches of the first vestiges of art in France, that ia to say, among the caves of the Stoue Age, has been giving an account of his dis coveries in The French cave man not only carved the heads of horses on the tusks of mam moths, but the "eternal feminine" la full figure ("en ronde bosse"), with re markable skill, seeing that his graver was only a sharp Hint. Heads of females which Piette has found wear a headdress not unlike a judge's wig, but whether it is the natural hair or an artificial cap is not easy to determine. Their skulls are long and slope gently to the crown, their cheek bones are broad, their noses straight, and their chins pointed. First Opera GIBKHCN. The single opera glass was first used in the time of Eouis XIV; it became the rage and everybody used one. The double opera glass (Jumelle) was in vented in 1825, but did not at first find favor with women. A treatise was written in the early part of this cen tury on l'art de lorgner, in which it was shown that a woman with fine arms would hold the glass with both hands, if she were blessed with fine hands she would take off her gloves, if her neck were long she would recline back in 'her chair, and bo on. It was quite a treatise on coquetry. BUYING CAVALRY HORSES. An Kiyut'i Table < ;ivintc tlie Kmential Point* They Should Panne**. Capt. Benjamin 11. Cheever, "the dandy of the Dandy Sixth," knows all that there is to be known about horses. But Capt. Cheever says that horses are not intelligent. "A horse is a slave to habit," he said to a Sunday World reporter. "For brute intelligence the horse is not to be mentioned with the dog. There is no comparison. 1 say that after twenty-three years close ex perience with the horse. * "In selecting cavalry horses for the service we must have animals that can be turned into the ranks ready for work. "The nervous, crazy horse is as bad as the nervous man. He sets every body by the ears. The worst of it is that he usually develops these traits late in life. That is why I recommend buying a horse between five and eight years old. You can never tell how a colt is going to pan out. If put to work too young he is apt to break down. Here is a table giving the es sential points of a good horse: 1. Sound in every particular, wind and-limb. 2. Short coupled and broad cheeked. a. Good, healthy color, clean limbs and a good coat. 4. Between Ave and eight years old. 5. Weight between 1,000 and 1,100 pounds. 0. Between lo and 15 1 /» hands high. 7. A half-bred is more durable than a thoroughbred for rough riding. 3. Free from bad habits —neither nervous nor -vicious. 10. An ambitious animal. "Sometimes you may pick up u good horse that weighs less than 1.000 pounds, but I should prefer not to take chances. The height mentioned, gives a chunky, sound horse, that does not run to legs. "The Government officers who select cavalry horses think a bay the L>i\st color. It is more apt to be healthy and sound. They won't have a white horse at any price. The enemy can see them at night. 1 don't know why peo ple who make pictures of generals in battle want to put them on white horses. A soldier who expects to get into a hot place never gets ou one If lie can avoid it. A black horse is equally objectionable to the cavalryman. .My experience is that the best horses comu from Kentucky." Our Clttaen Sailor*. At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War England had justly earped her title of "Ruler of the Waves." The British sailor had proved in many a hard fought fight that he could, up to that time, "whip anything afloat." Surely and slowly, however, a great power was growing. A power that he was destined soon to meet, and a power that was to lower his flag that had floated so proudly for so long.

If your baby is delicate and sickly and its food does not nourish it, put fifteen or twenty drops of Scott's Emulsion in its bottle three or four times a day and you will see a marked change. We have had abundant proof that they will thrive on this emulsion when other food fails to nourish them. It is the same with larger children that are delicate. Scott's Emulsion seems to be the element lacking in their food. Do not fail to try it if your children do not thrive. It is as useful for them in summer as in winter. Ask your dor/or if tin's is not true. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, New York CATHARTIC fcaacakcto CURE CONSTIPATION 25c 500 DRUGGISTS m ~*• Tf. Burr«r RsniM* Price, 112!« 00 W«gon«.

AYER'S PILLS Cure Dyspepsia men. Ino American sailor came into being, and lie swept the sea before him. From Portland. Portsmouth, Glouces ter, Marblehead and New Bedford there sprung, as if by magic, a race of men fit to conquer the earth and the waters thereof. They were only fishermen, merchant sailors, whalers and even longshore men, but they carried the American flag victorious to the four corners of the world. The British navy was the largest and most powerful then known, but the citizen sailors of America laughed it to scorn and sailed their ships into the harbors of old Kuglaud itself. They were not only fighters, but they were leaders, too, and the names of Jones, Lawrence and Perry stand with those of Nelson and Drake. In later years the deeds of Decatur and Farra gut are equally glorious, and the Amer ican sailor, whether he come 9 from Kennibunk or Key West, is rated first among tlie mariners of all nations. The spirit is there, too. as well as the skill and daring. If America has need again of her sailor boys she will find tlieni ready, and famous fisher men fighters of '7O will find fitting de scendants iu the white-clad Naval Re serve of '9B. Tlie Onr nt Home. Alexander 111, the late Czar of Rus sia. was said to be an autocrat even in the bosom of his family. Nicholas 11, however, is the very reverse. He regards his consort as a good com rade and when in urgent cases minis ters seek an audience late in the even ing he is invariably to be found in her company, chatting and laughing with out restraint. The czar is generally occupied at his desk, while the czarina busies herself with embroidery work. Immediately a minister enters she rises as if to retire, but more often than the czar informs her that /ihe is not one too many. on Playing Card*.
