INDIAN’S PEA-GREEN HOME.

Mas-Que-Canock’e House in the Kickupoo Country u Curiosity. On a beautiful bottom land allotment In the Kickapoo country, says the Kansas City Star, lives an Indian named Mas-que-canock. When Alloting Agent Neal went among the Klckapoos to get their names he came across this coppercolored gentleman and had great difficulty in understanding his name, so be put hlm<flpyyn as Master Mechanic and let it go at that And that is the name that passed before Congress and the Secretary of the Interior and went into history. Mas-que-canock Is a supercilious young buck, who lias one of the best allotments in the country. On it he has built himself a beautiful pea-green

house, two stories high, but all one room. He has two tiny window's in each end of the house and his door opens into his back yard, leaving the inhospitable looking blank side of the bouse toward the road. By the side of this new house stands the squat and squalid bark thatched wickiup, in which he lives w'ith a fallowing of squaws, children and dogs. In his Ifeautiful pea-green house he stores his harness and saddles and rusty plow and other implements.
