in Suet-ess.
(
I have heen told of several rich
women in the smart set , two of
them very rich , who are wont to
haggle over prices in the shops as
if they were in genteel poverty ,
one of these ladiea , whose showy
Newport fetes are widely pro
claimed , tried on a certain occa
won , to "heat down' ' an estimate
for candle shades , favors , etc. ,
that she. wanted in a hurry for a
dinner dance , and , having failed
inhcreffort , she flnally exclaimed :
"Why , you oughtn't to charge me
ji cent for these things ! Think of
the advertising you can get out of
it ! If you treat me right I'll B
that your place is mentioned by
all the reporters ! "
And another , whose husband is
one of the richest men in the
world , actually wept before 'i
Fifth avenue dressmaker in her
pleadings for a reduction of $15 on
the price of a certain garment that
she simply had to have but could
not afford , she declared , out of the
Hinall allowance made her by her
husband.
When I was in Newport last
summer people were laughing at
the latest petty economy of ( his
same husband , who ia certainly
one of the "closest" of our idle mil
lionaires. He had heard of a new
aluminum paint , warranted to
keep shiny without much rubbing ,
and he had forthwith given orders
that the brasses on his beautiful
yacht be smeared over wih this
paint so that it might reduce his
pay roll by the wages of two sail *
ors previously needed to clean
I these brasses ! This gentleman's
income must be at least $1,00.0-
000 !

INDIANS KILLING OFF GAME'
Right to Hunt on Reservations Often I
Abused by the Red Wnr-
vlors. i
ii i
Sportsmen returning from
hunting in the vicinity of northern j
Minnesota Indian reservations
tell in the Dnliith Herald of the ]
scarcity of game in certain HCI I
( ions which can hi' accounted forj
only on the theory that thelnd ; ,
'
ans' have been killing the animal *
during the fall and earl.\ ,
hot It on and oil' I heir i eseres. . The
city men are indignant that this
should be so. The\ claim to have
positive proof from ( he sel Hers to
the ell'ect that the rednien have
overstepped their bounds in the
hunting of deer nnd moose.
This Indian proposition is one
that occasions a greut deal of
worry where reservations aie lo
cated. Laws governing the In
dians in this respect are little un
del-stood by the whites in general ,
but they are such that the con
victinn of any < > f these wards of the
government for breaking them is
made extremely difficult , ifnol im
possible.
After taking his land" trom
him , or most of ( hem. it would ill
become the government if it did
not allow the Indian the privilege
of hunting at all seasons when
wild game is eatable. This priv
ilcge is accorded him. but only on
the reservations. He is not sup
posed to hunt at all in the outside
forests unless such hunting is
done in the open season for game ,
and some so read the law that he
lms not the right to kill game at
any time unless hunt ing in the res
ervation.
The Indians know the law and
are careful to see that they are
not caught breaking it , though in
many instances they live so far
from a game warden that they
have become careless and open
violations are said to be frequent.
Hut even in cases of this kind it is
no easy matter to secure a convic
tion , for , even though the proper
man be arrested , it is difficult to
get proof against him. The red-
men are careful to protect one ol
their own number and stolidly re
fuse to testify against him , espe
cially in affairs of this kind.
As a general thing the warden
pays little or no attention to such
violations and lets ( he Indian
hunter do as he will. Even when
the hunter knows a game warden
is in his vicinity he can usually
contrive to bring down his game
and get it into the reservation before -
fore being detected.

Blind Leads tbe Blind.
Among the inmates of the
county farm are two blind men ,
one ot whom is Willis Kay.
Since the terrible accident
which cost him his sight , Willis
lias developed the other senses
to a remarkable degree. lie
makes frequent trips to this
city a distance of several miles ,
walking along almost as rapid
ly and with as surefooted cer
tainly as one wl o saw the road
he was traveling , NN hen he
reaches town he visits various
places going here and there
with no one to direct him , and
rarely making even the sliu'hest
mistake in direction or distance
Lately he has taken to escort
ing his fellow blind inmate to
town and to see him finding the
way for the other and guiding
him around corners and ovt-r
street crossings is pathetic It
is a case of the blind leading the
blind.
On the way hmne , when they
have passed the city limits and
Willis knows that the road lies
straight ahead of them they fall
into conversation and laugh and
chat as though ihe soft blue .f
the autumn sky and the flaming
uaples by the wayside had the
ame charm for them as it has
or the seeing world that sur-
ounds them on every hand.
Vnd so they pa-s over ihe hills
he blind leading the blind , and
le is a sorr\ sort of n man in-
leed whti can watch these two
solitary figures trudging along ,
each in his own darkness , with-
nit feeling a sense of pity and n
sense of thanksgiving that Got !
