an innocent game of cards when the sick

The obliging lieutenant marched out and
proceeded with other soldiers, under escort
OF the guards, to the surgeons office.
When the name Of Captain Bridges was
called, the l~ieutenant's face appeared at the
little Office window.

me helped me up considerably, but | want

me up AL right"
Didn't them pills cure you::' asked the
doctor abruptly, looking over his spectacles
at the bogus Bridges.

Thereupon ne picked up a graduating

Cold clliils ran up an down his spine.
Doctor he stammered, "Id-Id er
heap rather take the pills"
Drink it" stormed the doctor, and in
the excitement the medicine Went down
the iieutenant's throat.
When the lieutenant returned to the fod-
der loft he was very glum. When the
game Of cards grew monotonous Captain
Bridges turned and asked:
"Lieutenant, git them pills?:"
"Nawt,'
"WeD," said the captain, you needn't
be SO snappish about it. What did the
doctor say?'

VIII Morrison Try Again?

Some of the supporters of Morrison's
bill urge him to bring up his bill again
and again. They are not content with
the two knock downs which he bill has
received. and they propose to badger the
House into considering it.
1t would seem that the deliberate action
of the House upon the matter thus far
should be sufficient. 1t has passed jddg
ment not once but twice. Why should it
be asked to spend its time uselesslv over
what it has already acted upon and form
ally and decidedly settledp
The country is satisfied with the result.
The best interests of the business com
munity demand no change but rather
peace under the established order.
Mr. Morrison and his friends will as
sumo grave responsibility in keeping
this subject open to delay the needed
work of Congress and keep alive uncer-
tainty and suspense in business circles.
II they would heed the voice of the peo-
pie they would cease their useless struggle
and turn their attention in other directions
where ii is absolutely needed

The Indian Severalty Bill

The Indian severalty bill will make a
great change in the condition of the In
dams if it becomes law, of which there
is little doubt. The difference between
the two Houses are slight and can easily
be adjusted. Heretofore. Indian reserva.
tons have been owned by the tribes as
such No one Indian owned any land in
particular; he merely had a share IN the
whole area used by the tribe. Further
more, the government. in all its dealings
with the Indians. has dealt with them as
tribes and not as individuals They were
not responsible TO the Territorial courts
for violations of law; they paid no taxes ;
they had no votes; their persons and pro-
perry were not secured or protected by
our ordinary civil laws; in short, they
were entirely without the pale OF our in
stitutions.
The new law will change all this. The
reservations are to be surveyed and the
land therein allotted to the members of
the tribes in severalty. as follows; To each
head of family, one fourth of section !;
to each single person over eighteen years
OF age, one eighth Of section; to each
orphan child under eighteen years of age,
one-eighth of section; to each othe.
person under eighteen years, one-eighth
of a section.
II the reservations do not contain
enough land for this, what there is is to
be divided in the same proportion; and if
the land is suitable only for grazing. and
not agriculture, tho allotments are to be
doubled.
Furthermore, the rights and privileges
of citizenship are to be conferred upon
every Indian to whom all )tments have
been made, and upon every one who has
voluntarily forsaken the tribal relation
and adopted the habits of civilized life.
To guard against the swindling of these
newIy-made citizens by land-sharks and
Adventures. the allotments are made in
alenable for twenty-five years.
The bill is wise and humane and will
do more tor the civilization OF the Indians
than any agency which has yet been
employed.
