The Indian As An Advertiser.

A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress to prevent the use of the United
States flag for advertising purposes.
When that is put through
successfully and the old flag
secured from further desecra-
ton at the hands of advertisers, there is
another wrong that we desire to see
corrected. The poor, patient, wooden
Injun has been obliged for many years
almost ever since Sir Walter Raleigh S
day-to stand guard in front of tobacco
stores, advertising the weed. There he
stands through the heat of summer and
amid wintry storms, with the outward
stoicism of his race, but who can tell
the anguish that burns within that tim
Der bosom when he reflects upon his
degradation. Boys take liberties with
him and cuff him, drunken men come
along and try to shake hands with him,
small jokers pretend to take cigar
from his outstretched hand. At night
he is roughly and joltingly wheeled into
the shop and stood in a corner, without
even bench to stretch his weary form
upon. Often his nose is knocked off. or
an eye gouged out, while it is not I'M
common to find an arm and even a leg
gone. Now the Indian is relic of by
gone America. A pretty lively relic on
the frontier occasionally, still relic.
He is all that remains to show what race
of people inhabited this country before
the white men came, and vie wed in that
light he is entitled to reverence and a
show of dignity. Let not his noble form
be submitted to such base tobacco uses
any longer. Give the wooden Indian a

THERE is point in the geography of
the United States that is not generally
known, and that is Driftwood Point.
Driftwood Point is part of a little piece
of land owned by these United States
that is peculiarly situated. This piece
of land is the only portion of this coun
try except Alaska that is north of the
forty-ninth parallel. 1t is impossible to
reach it by land without going through
British territory. 1t is part of Pembina
County, Minnesota, and it borders on
the northwest shore of the Lake of the
Woods. 1t is about 25 miles north of
the forty-ninth parallel, and is by that
distance the most northern point of the
United States except Alaska. Its north
ern point is 40 degrees, % minutes and
81 seconds north latitude, and it is in
longitude 95 degrees, IA minutes and 4s
seconds west from Greenwich.

been kept so quiet society can scarcely realize
that the wedding is really to be. The approach
ing nupt1alS OF Ulysses Grant, jr., and Miss
JennieFlood have been such fertile topic OF dis
cussion that the presence or Jesse has generally
been accounted for as being connected in some
vague manner with that affair. That two OF
the great generals sons should Succumb to the

not even suspected except by a favored few,
prior 10 the announcement in the Chronicle
some time since, and even now, that
the arrangements for the wedding are in
