A USEFUL OPPONENT.
My husband was a gambler, a men:

night I was loft alone, while ho pur

winning the money of his acquaint

give up his despicable business but he
turned my fiitreaties aside by offering
.xcusc which were not at all satisfac
tory. 'We live well." he said, "and I need
money to pay our i-xpr-nsos. Yu are

The chief card room of the Nonpariel

news of the great contest had spread
abroad, and prominent actors and tneu
about town were there to see the con
test between Horace hinlev and tlie
comparatively new member of the ciub

I-aey and a group of his intimate
friends stood just behind my husband's
chair, and Cushmore was on the oppo

There are several cxc2llent reasons
why the world is interested in Elaine
Gocdale, once the child poetess of the
Berkshire Hills, now the wife of a
typical Indian of the Sioux race. The
red n.fn has been her ouly lover, and
she followeil the promptings of her
heart, defied conventional usage and
overcame by earnest pleadings and ;ir
gunents the objections that at first
nr.turally arose among the members
f her own family to such a union.

sympathies with the Indian rae,
wliich had been developed by the
teaching-of some Indian pupils at Gar
lisle and; Hampton institutes in the
East, had induced her in lioo to ac
company Senator Dawes on a trii
through the Indian reservation. She
had been particularly interested in her
observations at Pino Bulge Ageucy.
s nd it was there that she determined
to devote her life to the .mprovenuut
of the Indians of the West. She soon
after became a government tea-jher in
Dakota, and in li$K) she was appointed
superintendent of all the Indian
schools in South Dakota, being sta

at this agency, it will be remembered,
that she first met her future husband.
He had only a short time before been
graduated from Dartmouth college and
secured his appointment as govern
ment physician.
Thus as a former resident of Pine
Ridge, the young wife found herself
surrounded by familiar objects and by
the friendly faces of the people of her
adoption. Her interest in the welfare
of the Indians, always keen, was now
intensified, and she labored earnestly
in their behalf. Dr. Eastman's duties
frequently compelled him to be absent
from home for several weeks at a time.
On many of these journeys his wife
was his companion, and, although
.these journeys were marked by priva
tions, hardships and fatigue, she never
uttered a word of complaint. Her en
thusiasm in the cause she had espoused
overshadowed every obstacle, and she
labored unremittingly in the cause in
which she had enlisted. Her womanly
traits were developed during these try-
I ing ordeals, her courage arose to every
, emergency, and the approval of her

enough for any social sacrifices she
may have endured.
About a year after Dr. and Mrs.

30,000,000 hectoliters (000,000,000 gal

cool summer and a very late vintage.
The best vintage in France this year
has been in Champagne. There fs no
fear of immediate scarcity of good
French wine, however, as the last seven
years (1SS7 to 1SD3) have been rich

Mutilating Horses.
The United States Veterinary Medi
cal association: at its thirty-first annual
meeting, held in Philadelphia, adopted
a resolution condemning- the "docking"
of horses' tails and calling nttention to
the fact that nature surely intended
the tail as the animal's defense against
the assaults of insects. There is noth
ing new in the announcement that tho
tail is a useful appendage, bu; those
persons who are ever vigileni to avert
cruelty to animals will be delighted to
have the duly recorded support of such
an authority as the Veterinar3 associa
tion. The practice of "docking" hors
es' tails is wholly indefensible, tome
people try to justify it on the ground
that it improves the horse's appear
ance. It does not. It simply spoils
the good looks of any horse so operated
