Art
?. school of ar! is to be established in
Skagway. At a meeting of the ladles
of Skagwav in Muceabe* hall Saturday
afternoon fc?- in. a purpose the following
> officers were elected: Mrs. J. D. Stine
bough, president: \lrs S. E. Shorthill,
secretary, and Mrs. J. P. Hearst, treas
V
urer. |
It was the s6nse of the meeting: that
th? cost of the tools and material as
well as the other necessary expenses in
carrying on the work of a school could
be provided for by the hohing of euter
t&'nmenu. The tools would them
belong to the art school, to be used by
. by- the chitdren in the school. Anyone
/ who desires to do so could purchase a
1 set of the tools, making small payments
at a time, if necessary.
D. X. Hukill presented a very line
display of his work at the] meeting
Saturday and gave a very interesting
talk upon word curving and designing.
He h*s successfully conducted schools
of art in other places. If the plans
mature Skagwav can soon boast of
being up-to-Jate, sine; woodcarviog is
receiving the attectibn of people every
where. Mr. Hukill and others have
< secured the nams of upwards of 40
f children, besides a number of ladies
and gentlemen, who wish to enter this
' school..
The tools with which to wor< should
be sent for at once. Parents or others
* who wish their children to have the
benefit of the school cao leave their!
names with Mrs. Stinebaugh or Mrs.
Shorthill.
It is believed that officers of the
' Alaskan Exposition will give the
^ children of Skagwav a corner in which
to exhibit their work, and the school
' can thus, when that time comes, adver

[Ortirlnal.l
This was told oie by a bachelor an J
a woman hater. It's just too cynical
for anything.
The honeymoon had waned: the bride
itnd groom had returned! from their
&ip and started on the hunulrmu of
life. The morning after their arrival
the young husband gave his young
wife the connubial kiss prescribed for
such people and went his way to busl
ness. When he returned la the even
lug there were several letters for him
that had been brought by the postman
during the day. They lay on the little
antique desk In the library, every one
opened.
He frowned, but. picking them up.
perused them without saying anything
to his wife, who was the only person
who would have opened them. There
were a few facetious remarks in ona
from a bachelor friend upon the loss
of liberty consequent upon marriage.
The rest were on ordinary affairs. Ke
looked up at his wife. She was pont
ing.
"I don't like thosa remarks of Ned
Stuart." she said.
lie thought a moment and then re
plied in a soft tone. "If a wife Is to
read her husband's letters, she must
expect to find occasionally something
that doesn't please her."
. "Do you object to my reading them 5"
"Xot at all. I suppose I'm to take the
same privilege with yours?"
She said "Certainly," but there was a
very doubtful tone to so prououueed a
word.
"Of course if you happen on auy con
fidences intended only for me you must
keep them" strictly to yourself," he
said.
"Of course. Husband and wife arc
one person even in the secrets of their
friends."
There was a sound of the postman's
whistle in tin- street aud a sharp ring
at llie di>ort>ell. He went to the door
uud brought back a letter for her. He
itauded It to her. She read it. He
reached out bis hand for It. She held
the letter tightly clasped in hers aud
drew back.
"Areu't you going to let nit' see it V"
be asked.
"This is a peculiar case. It's from
Bertha and contains lafortuatlju in
tended, fur the present, only for uie."
"But are we not one. even in the se
cret* of our t'rieuds?"
"Ves, unless our t'rlends say in their :
letters that Any Information they con
taiu is only for the oue to whom the
letter Is written."
"But tf \w open each other's letters
ho*v cuii such Information lie guarded
from the one for whom it is not In
tended':"
"You w Mildn't wish to kuow what
Berth i doesn't wish you to know,
would you':"
"I know it already - she's engaged?'
"I'm not going to deny all your sur
mises. of course you'd strike the right
one In the end."
"She's ensealed to Tom Fletcher. 1
noticed hts attentions to her at our
wedding." I
"It's not Tom Fletcher at all. She I
wouldn't look at Torn Fletcher."
"Then who is it':"
"That's one of the thlugs you're not ,
to kuow."
"Boh Arbuckle?"
"I didn't say so."
"But von don't say to the contrary."
She was silent.
"What do you think of the plan of
?>tir n it opening each other's letters?"
She thought a Imi:.' while, then said.
"Suppose y >u don't open any of mine
?uldres>ed in ? woman's baud."
"But you continue to opeu auv or
ill of mine':"
"Yes."
"I'o you consider that an equable
agreement':"
"< ertainlj . Men haven't the sensi
tiveness that women have."
"Do you think Ned Stuart hasn't any
objection to your knowing what he
?ays aliotit my loss of liberty?"
"lie has no liiixitiess to say such hor
rid thing s."
"Lie didn't intend the remarks for
J on."
"I should think not I shall take es
pecial pains to open any letters he
May write to you hereafter."
"Do you think It would be honor
able for you to possess yourself of
what lie says is only Intended for me
not for you at all':"
"(>f course I do. What an Idea! It's
proper and iiecessur.. that I should
i.:iuw what Meas he puts into your
head -Idea* 1 h:; r tend to break up
happy domestic life."
The husband frowned.
"How d>> | know." he said after a
pause, "what i?!eas your friends are i
putting Into your head to destroy our I
domestic happiness":"
"I have no friends to do any such
horrid things."
"But you ask ine to take your word
for that, while you won't take my
Word that my friends won't"?
"lias It couie to this so soon? Oh,
that 1 should have married a man
who won't take my word!"
"My dear. 1 didn't"
"You did."
She was dabbing her handkerchief
hlto her eyes, lie went to her. put
his arms about her and to soothe her
salt!:
"Opel, al! my letters If you like,
sweetheart. I'll uct opeu yours.
Women are sensitive."
The nest day he wrote his friend
St'.'art as follows:
Yoi: are all wrontr In announcing that
I have lost my liberty. I'm Just u? Inde

| Black Wolf's Bad Hfeart |
[Copyright, liWti, by C. H. Sutcllffe.]
The Cheyenues had fought the white
soldier* for fifteen years. Chief Walk
by-N'lght had started out lu the belief
that there were only about .">,000 white
men In all America, and as soon as he
could pet them together he would fin
ish them off. but after many years he
came to have a better understanding.
When the first blades of green grass
were seen on the southern hillsides
word was sent out to the subchiefs to
gather in council. All responded but
Black Wolf. He was n fiery tempered
young man of twenty-five. It had so
happened that he and his baud had
taken all the scalps gathered in during
the year past, and he was ambitious,
fearless and a great hater, lie wanted
war all the time. He had plans to
round up all the white soldiers aud
make a grand finish of tlietn. Let the
Chevennes perform some daring deed
and they might count on an alliance
with at least three other tribes. Black
Wolf claimed to be ill anil asked for a
few days' delay.
On the bluffs on the north bank of
Medicine creek the white soldiers were
building a fort. It was within the
Cheyenne territory and was another
insult to them. Black Wolf had seen
the men at work the previous fall.
During the winter work would have
been suspended, but now that spring
had come the whit" men would be busy
ngaln. and ngain the white topped wag
ons would roll across the plains.
Those wagons, as he knew, contain
ed flour, meat, firearms, powder and
bullets, blankets, cooking utensils,
clothing and many other things needed
by his tribe. If ho could run off five or
six of them, with perhaps half a hun
dred mules aud horses, the wealth of
tlie tribe would be restored twice over.
The feat would lie a daring one. and
one to challenge admiration and bring
sbout alliances. Walk-by-Night would
no longer cover his face and talk of
peace, but his voice would be for war
and his face painted to strike terror to
the hearts of his euemles.
It was a gulden opportunity ror tsiactt
Wolf. Me had lens than fifty warriors
In his I>hiuI, but all were enthusiastic
and sure of success, it was a ride of
seventy rive uiiles from the camp to
the Muffs where the fort was building,
but this was less than two days' ride,
even ou the half starved ponies. The
medicine man made his medicine and
pronounced It good, and away rode the
young men. The so? Hers were busy,
and a wagon train was crawling over
the plains. The Indians could not have
asked for the situation to be bettered.
They lost little time iu pushing In. Tho
last six wagons were cut off by it bril
liant dash, seven of the escort killed
and the six drivers saved to lie tor
tured at the stake later on. The sol
diers turned cut from the new fort and
gave chase, but were beaten back. Six
double mule teams and twelve led
horses were ?unong the fruits of the
capture, and uuder the covers of the
wagons was wealth beyond compare.
That was a proud moment for Black
Wolf when he brought his prisoners ]
anil plunder safe to the main camp, j
He also had his little speeeh ready.
"I have heard It said that the Chey- !
ennes had l?vuuie a irilie of women," [
he said. "With forty-two warriors I
have captured what you see before i
you. I.et that be the auswer. I have I
heard It whispered that we must make j
pence and go upon the reservation to I
escape hunger and cold. Iu the wagons j
here are enough food and blankets to
last us for years. If forty-two of us '
have done this, what cannot 1,000 of
us do? There are 300 white meu at the
new fort. Are we to leave ibem In
pence, or are their scalps to hang on
our lodges?"
All this aud a heap more was said
by Black Wolf before be was through
with his speech, and he carried the
crowd with hint. Walk-by-Nlght con
cluded I hat he had made a big mis
take and straightway rejiented of It. '
while the squaws chanted and the war
riors bragged and swaggered. The vll- (
lage now numbered KUO people. Some j
of the bands had not yet come In. Five
of the wagons were unloaded, and '.he j
hopes of th ? redskins were more than !
realized. T1 ere were pork, beef, sugar, I
coffee and ;! >;ir by the barrel. There j
were bacon, hard tack, beitns, peas, rice !
and tobacco. The six wagons were In
the center of the village. The stuff
taken from the Ave made a great heap. |
The contents of the sixth were left for
Inspection ou the- morrow.
By and by, when all speeches had |
been concluded, hunger satisfied and
the crowd had got hold of enough whis
ky to give everybody a whooping old
time, some of the younger bucks began
firing the.'r guus. One of the teamsters
called out to them and tried to ex
plain soujcthlug. He was given a slap
on the face, and the revel went on.
Ten minutes later one <*' the bullets
fired by a m:>d dancer penetrated the
box of the wagon, and there instantly
followed an explosion that shook the
I earth for thirty miles around. It had
been the last wagon iu the train. It
was loaded with dynamite for blasting
down n portion of the bluffs. The
blast struck the hills to the west and
came back to strike those on the east,
i It dug a hole In the earth thirty feet
I deep and a hundred feet loug. It sent
hundreds of bodies high in air, aud It
flung hundreds of others about like
feathers.
Walk-by-Nlght was dead. Black
Wolf was dead. One Horn and Great
Thunder were dead. The power of the
tribe was broken forever, aud the sol
diers even pitied the miserable rem
j naut that eame crawling In aud asked
? to be put on a reservation aud clothed
| and fed. Black Wolfs ambition had
| done the trick. M. QUAD.
