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.

M. 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.

Does Baby
Thrive?
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.

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.

Alexander 111, the late Czar of Rus

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.
