The old Indian is reputed to be more than 100 years of age. [Years ago an Indian village stood where the Hunt family now carries on a general farming business. All that is left of the old settlement is a little church, a totem pole and numerous mounds where the Klickitats lie who could not reach the century mark. Old Jake says that this was the Indians’ paradise before the advent of early w*hite settlers. Jake Hunt is destined not to die a poor Indian. His lands are as rich and productive as any in the valley and command a high price. He is said to have married seven times during his long' career, but there will be only a widow and a few children to fall heir to his valuable property. —Husum Correspondence Portland Oregonian. Art in the Nude. The photographer’s lady was very preoccupied showing some samples of work to prospective sitters, when a tall and raw-boned Individual, apparently from “the land,” stalked solemnly into the studio, and intimated that he would like to know what the “pictors” were worth. % “Like that, $3 a dozen,” said the photographer’s lady, handing him one.

TWO A-SHOPPING By PHILLIP KEAN (Copyright. ipio, by Associated Literary Press ) Dick Beverly met Felicia Chase at the door of the big confectioner’s. “Let’s have a chocolate soda for the sake of ‘Auld Lang Syne,’” he said. Felicia laughed. "I have so much (hopping to do,” she protested. “I have some shopping, too,” Dick said, “but you are going In here with me first, Felicia.” Their entry into the shop brought them from the heat outside into coolness and dimness, lighted here and there by softly shaded lamps. “Do you like chocolate as well as »ver?” Dick asked. “Yes. ” She smiled up at him from under t|e brim of her broad white hat. He leaned toward her across the little table. “Do you remember.” as asked, “that when I went away you were angry with me?” “I forgot it.” she confessed, “when I met you at the door. A year is such a long time to stay mad.” “You had no reason to be mad,” he told her, “but I could never convince you.” A little spark came Into her eyes, ‘But there was the other girl.” "Yes, there was the other girl,” he said, “but if you had asked me I might have told you.” Her face flamed. “There was no explanation.” The chocolate soda was on the table (n front of them. Inviting, cool, delljlous. But they did not heed It. Once more the battle was on. They had renewed the quarrel of a year ago. Dick brought it to an abrupt termination. “Felicia,” he said suddenly, “let’s sail It peace at any price. We haven’t seen each other for a year. Let’s stop fussing, drink our soda, and then I want you to go shopping with me.” “Shopping?” her voice showed surprise. “Yes, I am going to buy a ring—for the woman I love, Felicia.” He watched her closely and saw — with Inward satisfaction —the color go put of her face. “A ring -?” she faltered. She drank her soda, listlessly, after :hat, but when they reached the street she talked eagerly of his purchase. Did he want a solitaire, or a band of stones? Or should there be a ruby or !>ther birthstone? “I had thought,” he said, “of pearls with diamonds.” “Oh, no!” Felicia threw up her bands with a little gesture of dissent npl WKS “Shopping?” Her Voice Showed Surprise. , ‘Pearls mean tears, they would bring ler unhappiness.” “Her?” He glanced down at her, then recovered himself. “Oh, yes, you mean the girl I love.” “Yes.” Sue walked beside him for a little while in silence, then she said, hesitating, “Is it the other girl, Dick?” “You mean?” “The other girl—the one I saw you with that night when you broke your engagement with me, because you said you had business to attend to.” “Yota mean the girl of whom you were jealous V’ His voice was stem. “I was not jealous,” she flared. He brought her back to the subject of the ring as they entered a shop where the light blazed upon a thousand jewels. “Does she like pearls?” Felicia asked. “They go well with her hair,” he saim. “What’s the color of her hair?” Felicia asked. “Red,” he said absently, "with gold lights In It.” Felicia stared at him. “But the girl I saw you with had black hair,” she cried. "Oh, yes,” he stammered. Felicia laid down the rings that she had been Inspecting. “Dick,” she said in a low tone so that the clerk could not hear, “how many other girls are there?” “Thera is only one girl that I have ever loved.” “And that girl Is?” “You,” he said suddenly. "Yet you are going to marry another girl?” she accused him. He went back to his examination of the rings. “You said pearls meant tears. Shall I select emeralds Instead?*
“If she has auburn hair,” listlessly, "she would like green.” “But I am asking what you like,” he told her suddenly. She turned on him a little fiercely. “But the ring Is not for me. Why didn’t you bring her to select It for herself?” He did not answer her question. He picked out from among the glittering circlets a curious band of heavy but exquisite design. There were two hearts In which two rubles were deeply set. Around the hearts were clustered diamonds that brought out the lights In the rubles until they glowed like flames. “Since you won’t help me choose,” he said, “I have selected the one that I like.” “It’s a beauty,” she agreed. He wrote a check, and took the ring In exchange. Then they went out of the store together. At the curb he hailed a taxicab. “I am going to take you for a ride,” he said, and when she demurred he insisted, until at last she consented, saying, “Well* it’s our last ride together.” They talked of many things as they rode along, yet between them was always the consciousness of that ring In his pocket. As she thought of it, Felicia felt that she must cry out with bitterness. She felt that she and Dick were made for each other; they had been engaged for years, and until that moment of jealousy she had never doubted him. Yet it had been easy for him to love another woman. Out of a sudden silence she faltered “I hope you will be happy.” “We are going to be,” he said. “You and the other girl?” He looked down upon her. "No," he said, “I—and the only girl.” A look Into his face revealed hla meaning. Felicia drew back quickly. "You mean me? But the ring was for the other girl!” “I did not say so. It Is for you. for the girl with the red hair with the gold lights in it. I made up my mind In the year that we were separated that there' was no other girl In the world for me but you, Felicia. And I suppose I owe you an explanation. I did have a business engagement that night when I broke my engagement with you. The girl whom you saw with me on the boat was the daughter of a client. He had asked me to take charge of her, as she was a stranger In the city. It was all so easy to explain, but I was hurt that you should ask an explanation—that you should doubt my love.” He took the ring from his pocket and held it out to her. * “Will you wear It?” he asked. The ruby hearts seemed to beat and throb. Felicia’s own heart fluttered so that she could scarcely answer. Her eyes were like stars as slv held out, her hand to him. He fitted the ring on the thl'.d finger. “For the only girl,” he whispered. Then he laughed. “Will you go shopping with me again, Felicia?” “What shall we buy?” she den anded. “A wedding ring,” he told her. “Shall we go tomorrow?” Why should we wait longer for our happiness, my Felicia?” Success. It wasn’t so very many years ago when the ideals held up before aspiring American youth were exemplified by the most notable cases of material success. There Is a change In that respect of recent years, due partly to the fact that many of these exampits have been proved to be anything but desirable examples for youth to follow, and partly to the fact that there 1 has come over the American people a strong realization that material success Is not the only kind of success worth striving for, that material success does not necessarily bring happiness and content, that the lives of those who have sacrificed everything for material success are usually more bitter than those who are poor and that, In short, real success In this world lies not In the rewards secured, but In the service done to humanity. Automobile Tows Locomotive. To pull a 110-ton locomotive along a railroad track is a rather heavy contract for an automobile, but a Los Angeles are performed the feat recently. In order to secure the necessary traction for the rear wheels of his car the motorist put four men in the tonneau and another stood on the rope. The automobile engine waS started slowly and the wheels whirred for a moment after the clutch had been thrown in without moving the locomotive. Then the big engine commenced to creep slowly forward and was towed the required distance. Couldn’t See the Joke. A little 3-year-old girl went to a children’s party. On her return she said to her parents: “At the party a little girl fell off a chair. All the other girls laughed, but I didn’t.” "7 “Well, why didn’t you laugh,” “ ’Cause I was the one that fell off.” —Tit-Bits. The Logical Outcome. “Did you see where some place they are going to make women muzzle their hatpins?” “I suppose their next step win be to make women take out a license for their diamond and pearl dog-collars.” Anticipating Her.

STORY OF ft BIBLE Heirloom Which Caused a Feud in the Bilger Family. Ownership of This 180-Year-Old Book Has Been In Bitter Dispute for a Century—'Printed in German. Philadelphia, Pa. —The picture below shows, a. 180-year-old family Bible, the possession of which has been in such bitter dispute for a century that a veritable feud has been caused in the Bilger family of Selinsgrove, Pa., ahd the hostilities reached a degree of violence not long ago, when Frederick Bilger ran away with the 56-pound book, and thereby accomplished the sole purpose of a journey from his home in Sioux City. This picture played a very Important part in the recent purloining of the family Bible. In fact, the photographing of the heirloom was the ruse Frederick Bilger worked to get custody of the heavy book. Franklin Bilger of Philadelphia, who Inherited the Bible from his deceased father, left it in the care of his mother, Mrs. Wilson A. Herman, of Selinsgrove, who married a second time. Bilger came to the Herman home and asked his sister if he might take the Bible to a local photograph gallery. He said he wanted to have a picture taken of the heirloom. Mrs. Herman was suspicious of her brother’s promise to return the Bfble, but she finally agreed that the heirloom might be taken from her home provided her husband accompanied Bilger. That condition was one on which Bilger had not figured, but he proved equal to the occasion. He had a horse and buggy' ready for the drive to the photographer’s, and upon their return to the Herman home Bilger stopped the vehicle just long enough for Herman to put his foot on the buggy step. Then Bilger whipped the horse, and dashed away with the Bible In the buggy. Herman’s trousers caught on the step and he was dragged several yards. A warrant was sworn out for Bilger’s arrest on charges of assault and robbery, but the crafty westerner succeeded in double-crossing a con stable, and late that night trudged into the Sunbury station, the heavj I If £ I Bible 180 Years Old. Bible on his shoulder, and boarded a train for his home. Mrs. Herman’s son, Franklin Bilger, of Philadelphia put the cade in the hands of an attor ney, and word was sent to Sioux Citj for the arrest of Bilger. Before arriv Ing at his home, however, Bilger re considered the matter, and returned the book to Mrs. Herman. The Bible was printed in Germat 180 years ago, and Is 17 Inches long II Inches wide and 14 inches thick. HOW THEY MARRY FOR Different Prices Necessary to Get a Husband Among Certain Classes In New York. New York. —There are 5,000 Jewish marriage brokers in New York cltj and most of them make a good living in finding partners, for the matri monially-inclned. The price is going up all the while. The old scale nc longer attracts young Hebrews tc wedlock. One time SIOO was considered a good bonus for a girl to pay for a husband; it has been going uj until It Is SSOO. Saloonkeeping ranks about the lowest of all on the broker’s list, yet, only a few days ago, a young man, twc years out Os Russia, an assistant bar keeper, refused even to look at a girl with SI,OOO. He expected $3,000. A medical school graduate will not marry unless $3,000 goes with the girl. An ordinary college graduate now demands $2,000. A medical, legal or dental beginner, with no practice at all, Insists upon SB,OOO in the marriage market, while one -with an established professional business expects to receive anywhere from $6,000 to $25,000 through the “schatchen.” It is a mistake to assume that only the poor Hebrews arrange their marriages on a business basis. The custom is general among all classes. All Owned by the Red Men. Muskogee, Okla. —The per capita wealth of the Indian is approximately $2,130, that for other Americans is only a little more than $1,300. The lands owned by the Indians are rich in oil, timber and other natural resources of all kinds. Some of the best timber land in the United States is owned by Indians. The value of their agricultural lands runs up in the millions. The ranges which they possess support about 500,000 sheep and cattle, owned by lessees, bringing in a revenue of more than $272,000 to the various tribes besides providing feed for more than 1,500,000 head of horses, cattle, sheep and goats belonging to the Indians themselves. Practically the only asphalt deposits tn the United States are on Indian lands.

She is wealthy, yet she has chosen of her own free will to live a simple outdoor life with her pets in preference to a brilliant life at court. She is happier in a simple print frock and a sunbonnet than in a court train and diamonds. And she knows W&) w ilf ■' I' Ils I / i - ■ /// JI perfectly the worth of each, for she has tried each. She has appeared several times at court and has done all that is required of her socially, and thus earns her right to the blessed freedom of the country.

She Helmsley’s mother, Is deeply Interested, as all the world knows, In the socialistic movements of the day.

For example, she sent her three children, Lord Borrke, Lady Helmsley (then Lady Marjorie Greville), and little Lord Maynard Greville, to the public schools In Warwick. Lady Warwick met the protests of her relatives and friends with the calm reply that she wanted her children to know life as It really is, and not as It is presented In one little circle. Lady Marjorie was graduated in due time from the Warwick high school, and then her mother sent her to Paris to a famous finishing school.
