TUnapacha Heech:a, one of the great medicine men of the Piutes, is dead, having been slain by tribesmen be- cause he failed to propitiate the evil spirit and bring about better condi- tions among the tribes which live along the Colorado, and his slayer, Arda Mecha, has killed himself in obedience to -the order of the ring chiefs. = The double killing occurred a few days ago north of Spear’s Lake, 10 miles out from Needles. It appears that the medicine man had been con- demmned to death because of his fail- ure to drive away the spell which was rapidly killing off the tribe, and at a conclave of braves his death was de- cided upon. . He was first ordered from the land where his hut stood for many years. - He failed to go, bhe- lieving that as soon as he had step- ‘ped from the boundary of his prop- erty, which is supposed to be conse- crated, he would. die. . Mecha succeeded ‘in getting him off,. but desecrated’ “the land by fight- ing the medicine man in his own house, and after he had shot Heecha through the head he turned the gun on himself, blowing out his brains. A great pow-wow followed, great hon: ors being done to both bodies as the funeral pyre” slowly” consumed them. —Denver Post. 8 dir Canadian ‘women are Ta to ‘eat too, much sweetmeafs,.

In the great earth and sand preglacial de- 1 : posits of Europe the true wild ‘horse is as . widespread, | 900900000 though not as varied, as in America. - It is not at this stage 2 associated with the remains of man, because no preglacial | 200000000 man except the pithecanthropus or Trinil man of Java has been found. In the interglacial or postglacial period the re- mains of man and the horse are first found together. The first association occurs in the middle of the palaeolithie, or rough implement, period. The discovery of ail the possible uses of the horse came very gradually, however, for there if abundant proof that man first hunted and ate, then drove, and finally rode the animal. The prevailing drawings of the palaeolithic horse represent him as hog maned, with no forelock to conceal the low-bred Roman nose. A second type in the Mouthe cave, a bearded horse with long bristling mane, long ears and convex forehead, is regarded by M. Riviere a$§ another species. But it is not clear to my mind that these drawings represent more than the summer and winter coats of the same animal. Besides these Roman-nosed types to which Ewart traces the modern cart horse, there are others with small heads and flat noses which Ewart associates with ‘the Celtic pony and possibly with the origin of the thoroughbred. CGther cave drawings, reproduced by M. Capitan, leave little doubt that the ass was known in Europe. It is also certain from abundant evidence in the caves of France that there was a larger horse toward the south perhaps, while the smaller breeds may have frequented the colder northern regiens.—The Century. fo | 2 & ° Lo | { Artima CEH (Smet There Are No Ideal Husbands By Dr. Ellen Milas. totem GALT Dr mimebiopas UCH a thing as an ideal husband does not exist. The near- est approach to one is the man who would" ‘allow his wife the same liberties as himself, If he drops around to his club in the evening, let her do likewise. If he hires a carriage and takes a woman ac- quaintance driving in the park, let him expect to have her hire. a carriage and take out some man friend. ‘ The ideal husband should be consistent. He should re- spect his wife’s rights. : He should make the children respect the mother’s opinion. He should be at his wife's command as thoroughly as he expects her to be at his. A man should not be expected to be tied to his wife’s apron strings, to be sure. He needs recreation, and should be entitled to an evening out with his friends, but the ideal husband would never wait to be asked to stay at home to keen his wife from being lonesome. He would think first before leaving his wife at home, ‘Would she rather have me here?’ * He would take an interest in her affairs and pleasures. He would be con- cerned in the welfare of his home. He would be agreeable about the house. Emphatically, I do not believe the way to reach a man’s heart is through his stomach. Men like to be well fed, and it is their right to expect good meals when they provide the means for them, but I don’t think a good meal would win a man to his wife's side if he were determined on an evening out with his crowd. i I think a man has a right to complain if the meals are not decent, but the ideal husband would not make his criticisms on bad coffee or overdone steak in the nature of fault-finding. The ideal husband would always regard his wife’s feelings as well as his own.

Modern women give Bachelors no time to miss them, and no opportunity to need thém; their devotion is un- disciplined, and it becomes a.curse rather than a blessing: to its object. Why? Because women have this strange power of concentration and self-abnegation in their love; they can not do enough to prove their kindness.

The Iron Age says: The outlook is very encouraging in nearly every di- rection. While generally speaking the volume of new business during the past week: has naturally been rather light, still quite a number of large transactions have been closed. A good deal of tonnage has been entered by the structural shops. A Large Works in the Pittsburg district have |; amounting to | captured the work, about 12,000 tons, for the New York Central road and 6,000 tons for the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western. The leading interest has taken 5,000 tons of bridge work for the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton road and 3,000 tons for the Pennsylvania lines west. Some very large requirements are still in the: market, among which is a lot of 14,000 tons of bridge work for the Harriman lines. None of the large steel rail con- tracts pending has been closed dur- ing the week, but the volume of busi- ess already done is indicated by the fact that the United States Steel Cor- poration mills now have on the books 425,000 tons of rails for next year’s delivery. Some export 'busi- ness ‘of great magnitude is pending and there are ‘also some inquiries from Mexico, among them one lot of 17,000 tons. The furnace and: foundry interests throughout the central west and the east have been much relieved by the copious rains in the coke regions, whieh hold out the promise of more regular and more abundant supplies of fuel.
