I'll try to keep all my old friends and make as many new ones as possible.

Kansas City, Mo., May 20. Five j

hundred or a thousand years ago an

Indian artist clung to tbe face of a

cliff upon the Gasconade river, in central Missouri, and painted a picture on

the pale gray rocks overhanging tbe stream. A monstrous buffalo is

charging down upon a hunter, who seems to wait with bow bent and arrow set for a last shot "Painted

Point" is the name given to this

strange relic of an ancient race by the

white men who came into the country less than a hundred years ago.

There are many such "pictographa"

and Indian paintings in the state. A recent expedition, authorized by the bureau of ethnology, maintained by the

United States government, has finished its labors .and made ita report.

This expedition found undreamed of

evidence of savage and prehistoric races that have lived, fought and been buried in the hills and valleys.

Among those wild tribesmen were

the first artists of Missouri. They

were not all fierce warriors and deter

mined chieftains bent only on the

hunt and . the warpath. Here and there among them was an artist soul

who strove to leave a record of his

impressions of the buffalo hunt a

bird in flight, a man running swiftly or a deer leaping a chasm that his tribesmen might see and admire.

Queer, pottery of a weird sort has

been dug up in half the townships of

the state, some of it painted, colored and decorated in all the colors known

to savage fancy. The Indian artist

painted the things that impressed him

most and the fancy of the sculptor ran to those odd designs that are

characteristic of most of the barbaric

tribes of the world.

In many instances it is hard to un

derstand how the artist managed to

bang to the face of the cliff and out-

ine and fill in the great figures. Tbe

rock walls are In places almost perpendicular and apparently have changed little since the paint was spread upon them by the crude brushes of the artist.

Near the mouth of the Saline river

are several of these half-painted pictographa that are undoubtedly of Indian or pre-Indian origin. Several small caverns in that vicinity have been re-examined recently and tbe figures found to be as plear and cleancut as they were when first found by the white men, back in the times of

the Spanish occupation. Bird tracks,

great birds, outlines of footprints, circles and pictographs of the sun and the moon comprise most of these pictures. Strange to Bay, there are few representations of reptiles found on the stone jars, the pottery or the cliff

paintings of these first Missourians.

The 'serpent Is one ot the favorite

subjects of the savage artist in most parts Of the world," but only in a few instances have remains of the work of these first artists of the state shown any traces of serpent designs. One of the, most striking pieces of pottery, however, ever found in the Mississippi valley depicts a winged

graph or colored vaae. Peetlee, mortars of rock, brushes, paint pouches and bags would be spattered around him as he worked, for the early artist had as many tools of his craft as the modern knight ot the brush.

serpent circling about the body of the vase. Every scale of the loathsome reptile is reproduced by the savage potter, and the eyes have the characteristic reptilian expression. -

The thnologist has some difficulty

in reconstructing a picture of the life of these folk in spite of the number of traces of their presence. They seem

to have been similar to the later Indians ot of the valley in physical structure, but greatly' superior in their artistic inclinations. The pres

ence of axes of stone, spear and arrow heads and heavy war clubs mingled with the broken pottery of many village sites Indicate that they were warlike, yet their artists appear to have paid little attention to the tribal battles. It is possible that the artists of the tribe were in many cases women who knew little-of the sterner business of war and preferred to picture beasts, birds and designs rather than scene; of combat. The skins ot animals, tanned and preserved, served as a canva? for the maiden artists of the tribe, anc"

a few of these have been found in the burial caves or hidden away In the jars and vases buried with the body of a. great man of the tribe. In most instances little remains of these skin paintings save a reddish or brownish stain in the decaying leather. Possibly the artist wae a stay at home and honored member of the tribe if he happened to belong to the sterner sex. The warriors and hunters were glad to furnish him with food and sufficient skins to serve as clothing and he had nothing to do save to sit at the door of his wigwam and dream of painting titanic figures of beasts and men and

birds on the aide of a rock. The Indian artist had to prepare his own colors from rocks and plants. Iron bearing minerals, such as ochres and other ores, furnished him with brilliant tints and hues. Staned earths of various sorts were anxiously sought out and in many cases these seems to haye been quarries opened by these artists and their helpers where colors were regularly mined and even sold to other members of the tribe to be used in staining the face and trunk of the warrior. Ochres and stained earths furnished tints Of brown, red green, blue, yellow, orange and purple. White was derlvea rrom kaolin, limestone and gypsum; black from graphite and pawdered coal, charcoal or soot; green and blue from copper ores, while phosphate of iron and many tree gums were utilized in binding and holding these colors together so they might be used. . Pigments wero rubbed into soft and newly tanned skins in the form of designs representing the sun, the moon, the totem and the tribal gods. A chanoe wanderer through an Indian village of long ago would doubtless

have seen the first Missouri artist sit

ting in front of his cave or wagwam

door busily working with a grinding slab and a stone pestle grinding out

his colors for the new .tribal photo-

Whore Microbe Thrive. Tbe alimentary canal is tbe most perfect culture tube known to bacteriological science. No part of tbe body . is so densely populated with micro-organisms. It is estimated that is the alimentary canal of the average adult about 126.000.000.000 microbes come Into existence every day. Tbey crowd this region so densely that scientists originally believed that they were indispensable to human life. According to a writer in McClore'a. Pasteur, who first discovered them, maintained this" view, but recent Investigations have rather disproved It. There are many animals that exist In perfect health without any Intestinal bacteria at all. Polar bears, seals, penguins, eider ducks, arctic reindeer these and other creatures in the arctic tone have few traces of these organisms.

Not to B Fooled. A certain magazine once took to advertising by means of personal letters. A critic got this letter; Dear Brown Have you seen article In this month's Trash Msgaslna? Heavens, can it be truo? X. But tbe critic, not to be fooled, sent to tbe editor of tbe Trash in an unstamped envelope, so that double postage would be charged this answer: Dear X. I have seen one previous number of the Trash Magazine, and with heart and soul 1 hope never to see another. Tbla U quit true. BROWN.

MAII II! SLOUCH HAT Dodges Around Trees at the Court House

The suspicious actions of a large

man, dressed in black and wearing a slouch, rakish looking hat, at South

Fourth and A streets, and around the

court house last night between ten and eleven o'clock, caused the police

department considerable trouble. There were several reports to Night Sergeant Winters that the mysterious

individual was doging around behind trees, frightening and even insulting women. Several shots were fired in the vicinity, and reported to the police, but were afterwardds found to have been at an .open air shooting gallery at Fifth and Main. The police could find no trace of the inaulter. Mrs. Marcus Roberts, colored, who recently was in circuit court as a defendant In a divorce suit brought by her husband, Marcus Roberts, was arrested last night, to answer a charge ot assault' and battery on Beatrice, also colored. The Roberts woman is

alleged to have struck the other with a brickbat The Injury was not serious.

AMERICAN MANHOOD.

An English View of the Common Pee pie In This Country. In all I spent four months traveling and lecturing In too eastern cltiea of tbe United States and met many men of varied classea. In my wildest dreams of tbe race I had never foreseen such wealth, such freedom, such equality. America Is the land of tbe common people, as England Is the land of the classes. If 1 were a young worklngman 1 would go to the 'State as soon aa I could earn a passage, because once on her soil I should cease to be a laborer and become a man, which Is a very different thing. Better than tbe boundless wealth ot America, better than any material benefit she can bestow, la this sense of manhood and equality that la as all pervading aa tbe air. Worse tban the earthen floor of our peasant's hovel, atlil found in England's southern counties, and the starvation wages on which he lives Is the slavish spirit that drags the cap from his bead be

fore tbe squire or crowds blm into tbe ditch as tbe carriage passes by. He is not a man, only 'a laborer, one step

above the serf. Joseph Burtt of Lon don In Leslie's.
