Wilder than other tribes, th Deer Creek Indians fled before the whit man' approach fled Into mountain fastnesses where they lived as the beasts. They suffered and starved. They num ber dwindled till only four remained three braves and a squaw. Th wild waters of a mountain torrent carried to death two of the brave. The Indian Just found and hi "ma hala" had wandered on and on, until she, too, was called by death. With the Idea that he might lead the Country f - power, five-passenger, with 120-inch Motor Car Street authorities to bis hiding plsce, the man was taken to the place, where he was captured. By signs they managed to con vey to him what was delrd. Th Idea grasped, be proceeded la pantomime and by sign to tell th story of his wander ings. Indians from the whol countryside have been brought to talk with him, and white men acquainted with many Indian languages have also been here. To all he is sn enigma. None of them caa under stand hfm, nor can he understand any of them. The Deer Creek Indians were originally proud and warlike. Thlr frequent depre dations upon th whit tt'ers led to an organised war against them. Two years sgo a surveying party drove the Indians from their last hiding place. Ar far as could be ascertained, th rem nant of the once proud. tribe at that time consisted of four bucks and squaw.

BACHELORS JD0 THE TRICK lew oa Buttons, Dara Socks and Mead Things Independent of Women. Is th "lump" In the marriage market due to th Increasing domesticity of the modern bachelor, who do not need a woman to look after him? ''Bachelor ar becoming mora and more domesticated." a woman well known In th social world says. "They can sew on buttons, darn socks sad mend rents In their clothing. "Gradually they are becoming Inde pendent of women's aid In these matters. They csa look after themselves Instead of marrying in order to get a woman to do these thing. !'Th growing domesticity of young man and tha Increasing worldlineea of young women Is, I am sure, responsible for th present slump In th matrimonial market. "I know young men who have pur chased their little 'housewives' and calmly set to work In their leisure hour darning their socks or sewing buttons on their coats - 81.650 ?2 Company Omaha, Nebraska "They enjoy the work. It 1s soothing fter business hours.' they say. as they puff at a pip and commence urchmg a torn glovs." An intsreating opinion on this subject wss also obtained from a well known needlework expert. "An Increasing number of young men." she said, "are taking an interest in sew ing generally. They are certainly be coming more domesticated. "On the other hand, the twentieth cen tury girl can think only of golf, hockey, theaters and dances everything elfe is 'rot.' " Inquiries matfe at a department store show that large numbers of "housewives" (bags containing needles, cotton, wool, etc.) are now sold to young men. "Even middle-aged men are devotees of the needle." said a salesman. "They sometimes bring with them a piece of colored wool. 'I want a skein of woo', this color," they say, 'to mend my socks. "It Is chiefly among bachelors, how ever, that this domestic phase has be come so prominent. . They probably find the work of 'mending congenial and rest ful for tb mind " "If men ar content to do their own. sewing and mending, marriages, when they are made, will b mors Ideal than they bar been In the past," a well known novelist said.
