moHt forgotten. The trllie lnhtil.its n
splendid reservation In southern Mon
tana, and the whites are striving to
oieu It for settlement, which causes
protest from the Crows a protest
which will go unheeded. Gratitude for
past favors done should protect the
Absarake to-day, but when did .the
white man show grntltude to the Indian
who owned good lands?
The Crow, according to some eth
nologists, are of the Shoshonl race,
while others classify them as a branch
of the Dakota. They are probably a
mixture of the two races, crystallized
Into a compact tribe by the exigencies
of war and the pressure of powerful
enemies. It is doubtful If fhey ever
numbered more than 4,500 souls that
was an estimate placed on tiiein by
Catlin seventy years ago and they now
total about 1,700. The decrease among
them has lieen greater In time of peace
fhnn when they were at war. Ill 1884
they numbered 3,22(5; this number fell
to 2,450 In 1888, and has now shrunk to
about 1,720. Consumption Is mnlnly re
sponsible for the immense death rate of
the tribe.
The Crows are of great stature, and
proud, yet courteous bearing. As war
riors, they ranked high among the
tribes, and, for their small number, did
splendid fighting against the Sioux,
Cheyenne and Blackfoot. Their Moa
tana hunting range was one of the rich
est in the country, and the Absarake
managed to hold it despite the ceaseless
atliicks of far more numerous fXM.
Kn in the first arrival of the wh'te
man, the Crow nation was the uev
comer's friend. The Crow warriors
fought In countless battles with tne
prairie terrors, and it was a Crow who
alone escaped from the slaughter of the
Custer massacre.
Of late years the Absarake have tak
en great Interest in farming, stock rals
Ing and Irrigation. They are fast ac
quiring civilization, but are dying so
rapidly that only a few of them will be
left in another generation.
SECKET OF AEROPLANE.
Wrluht I! rut hers' Alrahlp la D
scribed by Builders.
What purports to be a complete de
scription of the Wright brothers' suc
cessful aeroplane has beeu given out.
TJie description was taken from draw
ings aud descriptions filed with the
French patent ollice when application
was made for patents which the
French government issued last Janu
ary.
To the partial description of the In
dention given by the Wrights them
selves, but one new fact is advanced,
the plan by which the aviator is en
abled to maintain the euuUibrium of
the aeroplane despite sudden and vari-
abled to maintain the equilibrium of
by means of building the main planes
in three sections, the center one of
which Is rigid while the other wings
are so pivoted that a turn of a wheel
at the operator's hand causes one
wing to lift slightl.v while the other is
correspondingly depressed, thereby In
creasing the angle of resistance In one
wing and decreasing it in the other,
the effect of which Is to return the ma
chine to an even keel. ,
Prevention of a rotary movement be
ing given to the machine by the action
of the ii ir currents on the wings Is
effected by a "fish-tall" rudder that Is
set at the .rear of the machine and Is
connected by cables with a similar
rudder on the front of the machine.
A horizontal rudder Is also fixed to the
front of the machine.
Orville Wright's description of the
machine Is quoted as follows:
"Approximately It consists of a box
like frame 40 feet wfdc, 7 feet long and
1 feet deep, made of spruce and ash.
At the center and top front Is a front
rudder, a feature which the Wrights
Introduced and which has proved su
perior to the old method of a rear
rudder.
"In the center, to the rear, Is the tall
of tho machine, approximately twelve
feet In length, less than one-third the
wn.nuR wiuniiT. onviLLE wbiqiit.
length of those on French flyers. Ton
consists in different models' of one or
two vertical cloth-cored frames.
"At the rear, balancing tue machine
and as near the center as possible, are
two propellers. Helmv the frame work

for landing and differs lii this par
tlcular from the trench machines,
which are equipped with wheels. For
a portion of twelve feet at each end
the upper and lower frame work Is
provided with a surface of strong cot
ton cloth.
"In the center of the machine at the
bottom is a small duihle-wbeel truck,
which, running on a monorail, is used
while the machine Is acquiring speed
enough to leave the ground. The

monorail Is easily movable in any di
rection. "The Wright machine weighs about
800 pounds, and In addition to Its own
weight, Including a fimr-eylinder mo
tor of between twenty-five and thirty
horsepower, devised and made by the
Wright brothers, the machine can carry
two men and fuel enough to drive the
machine 300 miles. It can carry
enough fuel with one man aboard to
travel 500 miles."
Women Wear Overall.
A woman can wear overalls any old
time in the State of Arkansas and not
violate any of the laws, providing' that
she does not attempt to disguise her
self as a uiaii.
This, according to a Little Hock dis
patch, Is the gist of a decision handed
down by Attorney General Kirby, at
the behest of woman Inquirers. Kirby,
It Is said, admitted in his opinion that
the wearing of overalls by women
might be desirable at times, but hoped
that It may not become a general pre
vailing style.
Hut there Is a lot of uneasiness ah
over Arkansas, from the hotel rotundas
of the cities, to the front porches "of
cross-road stores. For It Is' feared
that, In view of the decision, "wom
en's rights" leagues may be started
and the members urged to wear over
alls If they care to.

It acts pleasantly and naturally and
