tho most common sights of tho res
ervation In Caddo county, 18 miles
west ot this city, but thoy aro being
rapidly displaced by tho whlto man's
houso. At tho present tlmo thoro nro
only four loft in tho entire reserva
tion.
Thoso grass houses represent In
dian ingenuity, patience aud skill per
haps moro than any other relic re
maining of their wild llfo on tho prai
rie. They wore built by tho squaws
and took months of preparation boforo
thoy woro ready for occupancy, but
whon finished offored tho Indian war
rior a secure retreat against all kinds
of wonthor.
Tho squaws commenced their work
early in spring by selecting a num
ber of tall' young trees that would
servo as polos. Usually olm or pe
can trees woro chosen. Thoy were
stripped of bnrk, sharpened at ono
end and laid in tho sun to senson
during the summer and fall. The
bark was torn Into strips nnd put to
dry.
Whon this was dono the squaws
work was finished for n tlmo. When
fall enmo thoy would go along tho
swamps and rivers whore tho grass
grows tall, strong and wiry, ami
would collect bundlo after bundle of
this grass just nB It began to dry.
After tho grasB was all collected
It was mado Into bundles, all of tho
sama size, and all packed ub solid as
wood, so as to rcBlst tho rains and
snows of winter. Then tho squaws
woro ready to begin tho actual build
ing ot tho homo.
Tho llrst stop was for tho Indian
bravo to docldo Just where ho wlshod
his now homo to stand. Whon this
was docldod on, tho squuws drew a
largo ring Just tho slzo that tho now
houso would bo whon completed, and
In this ring they sot tho poles, thrco
foot apart.
Tho poles woro all brought togothor
at tho top in tho ccntor of tho houso
and securely lashed togothor with
strips of bark. Outsldo of thlu framo
was covered with a network ot bark
strips to hold tho polos sucuro in their
places and to form n foundation upon
which to fasten tho grass.
Then tho tedious work hognn. Tho
bundles ot grass woro fastened to
thoso strips bo close togothor that It
was Impossible for any rain to pass
through and tho Indian might fuel
himself sufo from any Btorm.

and seasoned with oil
and salt with a dash of lemon juice or

appotlzlng dish.
Hoots', like tomatoes, may be cooked

with the cool green of pens or cucum
ber and onion make a most effectlvo
garnish. They should never bo used

Heets retain thoir sugar and deli
cate flavor best when baked. Put tho
well-wuahed heets Into a pan with a
small amount of water to bake. Uso
raro not to bruise tho skin. Turn
frequently with a knife so that they
are not pierced. Whon done, slice and
Bcason with oil, salt, pepper and vine
gar. If oil Is not used butter will be
a good substitute.
Boiled Beets. Heets, liko most veg
etables, should bo cooked in boiling,
salted water. Care should be used to
keep tho skins from being bruised,
as tho flavor as well as tho color will
bo lost if they bleed. Cook for an hour
or moro until tender. Then plungo into
cold water and slip off tho skins. Cut
In slices, sprinkle with sugar, add but
ter, popper and salt with a dash of
vinegar. Tho Germans uso wholo
cloveB In hot vinegar for a seasoning.
Another time uso hot cream instead
of butter and thicken with a little flour
if so liked.
A relish which Is well liked, to eat
with meats In tho winter, Is prepared
by using chopped cabbage, celery and
beets In tho proportions most conven
ient; season with sugar, salt, mustard
seod and cover with vinegar. Tho rel

Michigan, and, as lopg as he bought
drinks, Carney listened to hlB ravlngB
about the glories of nature. The
stranger went on in words of color

buy another. 'Ah you should have
seen that sunset,' he said, half clos

said Carney. 'You can't tell me any
