, P'rinbess Newaha Gayfish has turned Rapper, and there is the-dickens T to, pay-in the tribe of Winnebago I»Idians, whose habitat is Hatfield, Wis- '[■ cbnsiii, reservation. • Upsetting traditions 'of a thousand years,iNewana bobbed her hair! Her ~ Chief Running Wolf, took one ! ii&dk -ty' her, then emitting a piercing ho#3i bega*h #> ptin rbtihd in, circles. ' .. As -to her Gayfish, he i coVei-edhis face with his hands, shuddered, wept/ then with fire in his eye, (headed for the wood shed in search Of .the .family axe. ■ .. #

-As fcj.e returned with it to the back door of the house, the princess/made her exit hurriedly through the front 'door with her baby son. .*

}' But she wals laughing for she is only il-.B,;>na abreast of pale.face fashions,' [ and harbours pale-face ideas of wo-, « mri's rights. Moreover, she has a fori tune of £3OOO, and a tract of land in ,{ Nebraska/ left to her recently by an } uncle. . i ' She did not stop until she has reached; the srailway station, where she took a train for the place where her domain is situated, and which she had not yet seen. ; She would never return to her Old husband with ' his antediluvian ways of thought, she said. < Dan Gayflsh, brandishing the axe, arrived with other outraged braves of ! the tribe as the trail of the princess was lost in the smoke from the engine that streaked the distant horizon. She cannot? go back to Hatfield if/she ever wants to. The tribe has expelled her, arid she is an outcast.
