Show FOE LITTLE FOLKS, i J Au Alaska Maiden. There have been in this cityr recently four very interesting little people, four little girls, Riner, Owea, AoKlerPea-Ak and Ar Kluk. They are four little Eskimo Es-kimo girls. The oldest, with the long name, Ao Kler Pea-Ak, which means i "Lmber hodied girl," is C years old. Ri- im mm ner is 3 years old. They are with their parents, except Riner, whose father and mother were left at home. They were brought to this country by Captain Minor Mi-nor W. Druce, a government officer, and they live when at home in a country never free from frozen snow. They are from Alaska, near Port Clarence. The little Eskimo girls are dressed just as they are at home. Riner, whose picture pic-ture is given, is a very pretty baby girl. She wears a hooded blouse made of ermine er-mine and mink furs. Her trousers are made of mink fur and reindeer skin, with the white hair on the outside. She wears cute little sealskin moccasins or stockings, stock-ings, which come up to her knees, and are tightened from the ankle up with buckskin thongs or strings. She is dark, but has a clear, clean brown skin; a round, chubby face; beady, black eyes, and the blackest of black hair and she wears it bauged. Chicago Inter Ocean. |
