They give you the cagita to do business Considerable interest has of late been aroused in the Ute Indians of Colorado, and a few facts about their head chief, Ouray, who is an exceptional Indian, and his manner of life, cannot fail to be read. The Ouray Times furnishes quite a long sketch of him, and devotes considerable attention to his surround- ings. According to the Times, Ouray has had built for him at this place, about ten miles from the Les Pines agency on the Uncompahgre river, by the gov- ernment, an adobe house thirty by forty, finished in good style, with American furniture and carpets. He has afarm of 300 acres inclosed and upwards of sixty acres under cultivation, in hay, vegetables and grain. The work is done by Indians ahd retainers. His wife takes an active interest in the farm- work and does her full share of the out- door labor. He has a herd of 9.00 horses and mules, some of them being very fine animals; in addition to the horse stock he has some cattle and sev- eral bands of sheep and goats. His buildings are quite extensive consist- ing of a large storehouse,four dwellings, stables, oorrals, granaries, etc. He has a fine family carriage, one of the best that could be purchased, a present from Governor Ed. MoOook, which, with a stylish team and Mexican driver, makes a conspicuous turnout. The farm ope- rations aud business enterprises of Ouray have been veryjsuccessful, and rave himto be a shrewd, competent usiness man. It is the opinion of all who know anything about him, that he desires to ado t entirely the habits and life of the wfiites and cut loose from Indian customs, but the innate love of power and prominence makes him cling to his leadership or chieftainship with a tenacious grasp. During the council it was observed by General Hatch that Ouray was a born leader and exhibited diplomatic talents of a high or- der in managing his unruly subjects and dealing with every point and question ad- vanced by the commission. His age is fiffiiifi-fivo, and he has but one wife and c .

And as he spoke, the door Hilton had left ajar opened, and across the threshold stepped a tall, beautiful girl, with sunny brown hair, and large blue eyes, who waited timidly until her father came uickly to meet her. “ Anna l” e said, softl . ” Can this be m babyâ€"my wee aughterl It must 8, for it is my Myra, who has not grown old and grey, as I have, but lives in perpetual youth. My child, I once wronged your mother, but have sorrowed and repented for that wrong. Can you forgive me ?" The tears were falling fast from Anna Hilton's eyes, and her voice was trem- bling wrth sobs as she said: “ My dear father l" That was all; as George Hilton folded his child in his arms, he knew that he was forgiven, and for him at last there might be happiness in making others happy. Good Mrs. Willet mourned and re- joiced at once over her loss and her could not break in upon what he felt to be a sacred emotion. At last, lifting his head, George Hilton asked: ‘;Dces Myra live? Can she forgive me I) “It is years since she died,” Hilton answered, “ but, surely, in heaven she has forgiven you. She never spoke of you to your child but in words of re- spect and affection. though she always spoke of you as dead.” “My child l You know my child ?" “ I know and love her. Do you not guess, Uncle George, where I saw that bracelet whose dnpticate I recognized at once, whose face is a living copy of the one in your locket? Must I tell you adopted daughter's good fortune, but consoled herself with the thought that Ada must have left her to be Hilton's wife, and, after all, they would still be neighbors. But she would not give her up until after a most brilliant wedding, and George Hilton only welcomed his daugh- ter to her home when he also gave ten- der greeting to Hilton's wife. The Best Capital.

Thrilling Experience of Grave Robbers. At Cleveland, 0., Joiner, the grave robber, gave in court a vivid description of his expedition with Oarlisle and Minor for the body of Edwin French, which was found in a Cleveland medical insti- tute. At one time after the body had been taken from the grave, Carlisle and Minor came in hot haste to him and said that the town had been aroused, and that the would be discovered. He was told to rive away as fast as possible. He told them he must have his money first. They told him he would get no money unless they got something to sell for money. He said he would go and get the body himself, for he must have money, and would as soon die in getting the body as go home to a starving wife and children and thus die. One of the others went up the street a short dis- tance, and came back and reported that it was a false alarm. Men were simply at work on the decoration of the town for the next day, when the president was to be there. They told them to drive down by a back street while the bagged the body and dragged it throng a cornfield to the buggy. The fright which they received, however, induced them to leave the grave in the condition in which it was found by the watchman when he returned and discovered that the body had been removed. A new style of bracelet is made of deli- cate flexible spirals of gold in one con- tinuous piece, and so arranged that it will fit any arm.

Close bonnets, with both the front and sides fitted to the head, and broad crowns, are called princess. They are intended to match the gracefully clinging effect of the princess dress. Coating is the ‘name of a material re- sembling homespun. It has a compara- tively smooth surface, and is a mixture of three or four dark, rich colors, so perfectly blended as to produce the ap- pearance of one color. Fancy buttons and flat gilt buttons are used profusely on the clan tartan and fancy pleld units so fashionable at the moment. Striped velvet, plain and in two colors, is the first novelty of the season. That with two colors is, of necessity, the most showy. The so-called “ bourettea ” of this season are not the goods of last fall and and spring. New satin ribbons are doubled-faced, the favorite colors being a dark crimson with a light shade of mauve. The new hosiery is hair-lined horizon- tally in bright colors on neutral and cream white grounds. Feathers in cashmere shades are nov- elties. They are grouped together in shades of Indian cashmere.

Do not wait till about to make some change in the train, before inquiring of the conductor, for, ten to one, he will then be hurried, and on will only half inform yourself. And finally, 9. Under all circumstances endeavor to retain presence of mind. One who can do this will never have any trouble traveling; and instead of it being unwise for women to travel alone, I think it an advantage to them to make trips alone, for there are few people who are not at times obliged to do so, and experience does away with much of the possible danger in traveling. 1.

FOR THE PAIR SEX; Fun-Ion Notes. We have had the golden age and the iron age, and now we are in the paper age. There are paper boats and paper car wheels, pa or clothing and pa money, and an nglish captain has is- covered that a war vessel can be ad- vantageously coated with aper. When the Seraphic last set sail or India Capt. Warren had her bottom thoroughly coated with paper, applied by means of a cement of his own devising. After making the voyage and lying in port three months the bottom remained free from marine incruetations except in a few places where the paper had been rubbed off. As the material is very cheap and the method of its a plication is simple, the discovery is like 1 to rev- olutionize marine construction in at least this detail. It may also revolu- tionize all modern warfare. May not a paper ship with paper sails loom up in the future, and may not another paper ship hatter the first paper ship to pieces with paper balls from paper cannon, and then, of course, the full account of the fight will be published in the papers of next morning.
