All thnt rolntos to tne pleasure nnd luxury
of life , the pin ? of fashion , the glitter of
uquipago nnd restful lolsuro Is now trans
ferred from the town to the ninny summer
hornet of gayety and diversion , Iho hotels and
resorts by too son , In mountain places and
nlong the lakes and In delightful woodland
places.
The reason Is a queer one , and more than
over before people of moans who nro In the
hubltof leaving town nro Intent on travel
rather than sitting down In ouoplaco. Omuha
Is more largely represented nt the summer
resorts of this country tlnn over before , and
more Omahuns nro touring the continent
than In any previous year. The foreign news
papers show that the Guto City of the west
Is in lonllty a gate city , for every whore , jn
every prominent town In Europe , some resi
dent of Omaha Is to bo found enjoying a sum
mer outing
' The love of change , " says n wise writer ,
"is n weakness nnd imperfection of ournn-
turo and implies thnt It Is in n sluto of pro-
ballon. " In a moderate way chanuc Is good
for us and oven necessary. A change of
scene Is restful to the Reuses as u change of
olr Is good for the body. There Is rest lu
change of occupation which puts into opera
tion a different sot of fncullloi ncd allows
others to rest.
There nre , however , thousands of people
who are vorv slaves of change , and tboy uro
found In nil ranks of life , from the ennutod
devotee of fashion , the woman of the world ,
to the poor mnld servant who throws up her
lust place impelled by the same Insnno desire
for chun go.
It Is when the love of change becomes
fickleness that It is to bo opposed as n dan
gerous part of the character. The excessive
Jove of variety is u churnctc'rl'.tic of a shal
low mind , which has neither sincerity ot
purpose nor strength of affection to bind its
possessor to B imy ono object. The
old prophecy uttered against Heubcn ,
"Unstable as walor , thou shall not
excel , " is fultlllcd In the cuso of every son
mid daughter of changing mind. There nro
some people whoso lite is poisoned by Insatiable -
tiablo desire for variety. No object is of
any vnluo to them whnn it Is once their own.
They select tliolr clothes nnd nil their be
longings in n striking color and styles that
startle by their eccentricity rather than at
tract by their craco. They ctiooso their
friends on tbo sumo plan. Such pcoplo pre
fer hotel life , with the changes nnd
excitements. The inherent weakness
ot a life lilo this need not bo
dwelt upon. A ninn or womnn must have
something of a hardened as well ns frivolous
nature lo ehoososuch a butterlly existence as
this. No ono with sincere feeling can cost
aside their friends which buvo boon won nnd
tried , merely to gratify the solllsh impulse of
mean ness.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
They Uxlst Only on I'apur With rittlol'ros-
] } iut of bpctMly Mutttrlally.ation.
It Is now midsummer uud nothing has
been done toward building now schoolhouses -
houses , but to lot thu grading of two or three
sites. Plans for the Central school nre not ,
yet ready for submission to the board , nl-
thougb a resolution was passed by the
board last January declaring thnt
tbo Central school should bo pushed
with nil possible speed so as to
have It. ready by the opening of the school
year this coming fall.
"It Is now out of the question , " said a
inomour of the board , "to think of having
any of the now buildings ready for use by
the llrst of September next. Indeed it is
very doubtful if any of thorn will bo complete
and randy for use dtirlnp the coming school
ytar. This time last year men wore at work
upon the Kollom school nnd yet It was not
completed until uoarly the end of the year.
"What Is to bo done with the pupils of the
Central and High schools this fall Is very
likely to become a much more troublesome
question than It was lust for there will bo an
addition to the High school of about 300 nnd
unless lower graao pupils are sent o sou-hero
there will bu no room for them in the High
school building. "

THE INDIAN AS A SOLDIER
Opinion of an Offioeron Poor Lo's Worth in
a IJnifdrm.
EXPERIENCE OF THE FIRST COMPANY
Iloutctmnt I'U'UerliiB Tc-lls Jluw the Sioux
Took to tlio lite * of Joining tin ) Army
SomotliliiK < > I Tlioir Treatment
AUor'KiilIstnioiit.
Indlnns hnvo been tried as soldiers and the
results hnvo been thus fnr satisfactory in the
main. When the work of enlisting the orig
inal Americans for army duty was com
menced there was n Hood of opinions ns to
the advisability of the move. Mnuy of the
officers high In rank wore opposed to the
plan , claiming that it would bo difficult If not
impossible to malto clean , obedient , iutolll-
cent soldlors out of such material. But the
experiment has been tried.
First Lieutenant Abnor Pickering of the
Second Infuntry recently road before the
officers oJ the regiment at Fort Omaha a
pupor on "Tho Indian as a Soldier , " which is
presented in substance :
The mutter of regularly enlisting Indinus
as soldlors for n full term of llvo years , plac
ing them on the same footing as the white
and colored soldiers , was llrst broached und
curried Into effect bv the Into secretory of
war Proctor. In making the Indluns a purl
ot the regular army It probably wns with
the idea of the betterment ol the Indiana
themselves us well ns of the army. It Is to
bo hoped that both roiults will follow.
\Vhilo lids feature may bo considered
to huvo passed buyond too point of
oxnerimont , inasmuch as they hnvo
demonstrated their nbllity to lake tholr
pluc'o alongside of will to troops in the per
formance of the regular gnrrlbon dutlos ,
thorn nro these who still deprecate the stop
of their enlistment. They claim that as
soldiers thev have not yet boon subjected to
the prime test of sorvlco in the Hold nnd especially -
pocially nctlvo campaigning. This must bo
loft to tbfi future. But with past experience
with Indians as scouts , covering many years ,
the presumption Is altogether In favor of the
Indians.
The characteristics of the Indians as o
people are such that , wisely a provision has
boon tnado by tbo War department for thol-
commundors to bo made by selection. This
selection Is to bo made with an Idea to per
cullar fitness , embracing , according to in
structions , n missionary spirit.
In my recent experiences In recruiting
among the Sioux ut Pine Hldgo , I learned a
good doul of the cunructur of tbo Indians ,
which 1 prosutno lit not pocullur to this tribe
nlono.
Our comin ? and object were known nt the
ncuncv before our arfival , The original live
of the company * pru wolconu-d back by
their frloudb with uiucli enthusiasm. It wus
evident that much 'curiosity existed among
tholr friends as to their experiences ns sol-
dlors nnd tbo report Uiut they would bring
with thorn. 1 was awuro that the result of
tbo trip would dop'orid much upon the re
ports thiit these Ilvo convoyed to their
friends , but having the nssuruuco before v/o
fatarted that the Indians were satisfied and
would work for mo , 1 hud no hesitancy in
turning thorn loosd aii'd Issuing passes froely.
Ituloro any of tnjrinp" bad left camp con
verts begun lo coma m for enlistment. The
arrival of my Indiun Kolalors. dressed lu
tnolr warm clothlng.bud with commodious
Slbtoy teuu , almost Caused n stamped ! ) lu
our direction bofora our Units wora pltouod.
Bright and early next" morning I unlisted
sovon. Wo remained In camp two weeks ,
and whoii thu onlistmonis fell to two or
three man in as many diya I decided to inova
to Lower Wounded Knee camp. There wo
mot u largo tribe .dancing the "Omahu"
danco. I stated my business , \vas wt-ll ro-
rulvcd , und wus promised a tiumoer of en
listments when I returned to the aconcy.
Tlipso who nromUod to como failed to do BO ,
and It wu afterwards found that tbo chiefs
Hocrotly urged the young bucks to keep awuy
fromu.1.
I bollovo that those holding the piano of
headmen of the tribes uro auch In name only ,
and have no appreciable Inlluonuo with thuir
following. Tuis I consider a most fortunuto
condition of thing ! ) , us Indicatlcg u breaking
away ot ilia close tribal rotations and u ton-
denov to mora Independoul action. I found
that this feeling existed among iho younger
men , tnoy admitting It in my numerous talks
with thorn.
An Indian bait an avorulun to stripping for
a physical examination. Tuls may be duo to
Innate modesty , though it Is hard to reconcile
this idea with the display of the person at
the "Omahas. " But true It is , It required
the combined persuasion of the doctor , In
terpreter und Irionds to Induce thorn to sub
mit to n clojo physical examination.
1 deem It unnecessary to speak further on
this subject or to offer suggestions 113 to Iho
best methods of securing recruits umong the
Indians , ns I believe that before the pro.sont
enlistments expire all difficulty in inducing
them to como Into the service will have dis
appeared and applications will Do numerous.
From a report received from the office of
the Inspector general about thu last of
January , IS'W , it is ascertained thnt there
nro represontoJ In the army twenty-two
tribes nnd subtribos , aggregating 742 men.
They uro represented in eight troops of
cavalry and cloven companies of Infantry.
Of these troops und companies twclvo nro
over forty strong , running from forty-ono to
sevonty-soven.
I believe that they have adopted the
proper plan in utilizing the Indian as u part
of the regular army by glvlnc singlft com-
punios to a rcglmoiit ralbor than mailing full
regiments of them as U demo with the no-
groos.
Considering the characteristics of the
Indian , especially as a lighting factor , ho will
bo most useful us a special contingent , to
bo used ndvuntngeously iundiiroront manner
Irom other troops. First , a vogimont tukinir
tbo Hold should have Its Indian company
mounted. They do not have to learn to ride ,
and a very little drill with their horses will
bo iiocded by n company well drilled ns in-
infantry. They should bo used In n cam
paign mninly as scouts , flankers , look-outs ,
vidottes und couriers. With the now
open or'Icr drill they will become
quickly familiar uud olllclent , and will work
us well as uu orguni/.ailon on the lighting
lino. I believe that they will develop into
good shots on the target range wlncti ,
supplemented with their training and inbred
eve of hunting and natural affinity for the
gun , will inuke them u foruilduolo foe.
Jti the treatment of the Indians a commun-
der must meat them moro us friends than u
commander of white troops cun. They have
for so long boon coddled und treated by iho
government us children that ono cannot for
some tlmo divorce this relation from their
minds. It wus my practice , without saying
that it was the host , In my relations with
these of tbo company to treat thorn with
much moro familiarity than I would think
proper with white troops , and I bollovo with
out lessoning In any way their record for mo
or for discipline. 1 never had the slightest
disrespect ofterod mo oven If I did call thorn
' Horse " "Fow Clothes"
'Crazy , or simply
"Joo" or "Charlie. " A < thtiy grow Into the
ways and Ideas of the white soldier it may
bo necessary to depart from this practice ,
but Intuition and tuct will loach a oouimun-
dor when lode so ,
Ono of tbo lift , thi ncs an Indian lias to
learn Is frugality of Ills supplies and pay.
From bis inherited habits ho is Inclined to ,
and generally dooj , spend his monov Imme
diately upon roceivlng It. He seems to have
an abnormal appetite whou ho knows ibulho
is cxpocicd lo iiavo all lhat ho cun oat. To
IllUbtralo. I company arrived hsro from
Pine Hldgo on the evening of December . ' ) ! ,
forty-six strong. Boiwcon that dnto und the
last of the month th'y overdrew lu bread
aoo ralions and Ihoy ale it too.
Tno presence of iho families of Iho mar
ried men will bo moro or loss of an embar
rassment us long ns they nro with the iroops.
Tholr presence at Iho beginning , however ,
will have a salutary olTect on the men in that
It will servo to connect tiem : in ihulr present
relations with their past llfo just abandoned
and will riaxo thorn moru contented ,
Tno recent allowance of rations to women
and cntl'Jron hus served to make the latter
very hu'pny. It may not bo out of
place to 'noro dlgross n HtUo lo
make a comparison. By treaty stipulation
tnoso Indians uro given a ration nt the reser
vation which Is supposed lo bo sufficient for
Ihoir sustenance. It consists of the following
articles and quantities , viz :
Fresh lioof , ouojaud ono-holf pound per ra
tion , or bacon one-half pound per ration.
Flour , one-half pound per ration.
Corn , ono-balf pound pi < r ration.
Coffee , four pounds pur 101) ) rations.
Sugar , eight pounds pur 100 rations ,
Iiuan , tUlrty-ono pounds per 1UU rations.
Total cost nt Pine Kldgo ugoucy , Including
cost of transportation , f 15.55.
The army ration , which Is now Usuod to
tbo woini'ii and children , consists of :
Fresh hoof , ono und ono-balf pound per ra
tion , or bacon throo-fourtlm pound per ration.
Potatoes and onions , ono pound per ration.
Beans , llftuen pounds per 100 r.Ulons.
ColTuo ( green ) . ton pounds per 100 rations ,
Hugur , fifteen pounds per 100 rations.
Vinegar , ono gullou per 100 rations.
Salt , four pounds per 100 rations.
Pepper , one-fourth pound per 100 rations.
Yoabt pownor. ihreo pounds per 100 rations.
Totul cott at Fort Omaha , Including trans
portation , 115.51.
The cost In both cases bolng for 100 rations ,
I abk you to uoto thu comparative valuu of
the two rations In kind nnd quality , nnd the
cost of same. This might bo called an
"odorous" comparison , for it smells of job
bery some place.
If the necessities of the service require the
removal of a regiment having un Indian coin-
puny to n station distant from tholr reserva
tion , thut is to an onliroly different suction
of Iho country , before Ihoy are thoroughly
divorced from their foruior tlos nnd wedded
lo Ihoir now ones , I queslion If It would not
bo who to retain the Indians at or near their
present location , transferring them lo Iho
regiment coming in. When the matter of
sorvlco in the urmy for thorn becomes thor
oughly understood ns u permanent thing uno
n matter of fact , then it will bo well recog
nized by thorn that they follow their or
ganization through ull the vicissitudes and
changes of the service.

Ono morning little Bol was sent by her
I mamma to the "button storo" to match a
spool of silk , says the Doll's Dressmaker.
She had often been trusted on such errands ,
though only 4 yours ole , and very proud she
usnd to feel as she trudged nlong , "helping

"Vos , ma'm. " was thoslurdy answer. Now ,
on the way to the "button storo" there was
n fruit stand , and Bo ] often used to look ut It
with longing eyes. This morning she saw
something she had not soon for a long time-
great , beautiful rod bananas. If Bel lined
anything in the world it wns a banana , bho
wondered how much they would cost. Then
she thought she would ask.'Five cents. "
Why , she had just fi cents in her fat lingers
that very ininutol Before you could think
she hadn't 5 cents ut all , but bad the banana
Insteud. Do you think she wont right homo ?

lady smiled down nt the mite , mulched the
silk carefully , und hundod it to hor. "Funk
you , " said Bel : nho never forgets her mnn-
nors. "But , little girl , " called the ludy ,
"didn't your uinmma soud nny moiioy for the
silkf" "Yos'm ; but I buyod u uannna. "
And before the lady could stop laughing she
was on the street , hurrying homo. If you
will believe It , it was u long tlmo before
munium could convince her little girl that ,
she hud boon nuughty.
