Indian Arithmetic.

The Indians, however, on the arrival
of the annuity money would try to get
the better of the agent. As a certain
sum of money was apportioncd to each
man. woman and child, the father of a
family tried to make the number in his
lodge as large us possible.
A dialogue like the following would
occur between the agent and an In
dian. as the red man handed to the
agent a little bundle of sticks to regis
ter.
"How many have you in your lodge?"
Fifteen" answers the Indian, care
fully counting his bundle of sticks,
"How many mcn?'

The agent lays aside two sticks.
"llow many women''
"Three."'
Three more sticks are laid aside.
How many children"
Eight"
Eirht sticks are added to the heap.
"What is the meaning of these two
sticks that remaiu?" asks the agent,
sternly. The culprit, whose arith-
metic had not served him to play out
his trick, would disappear amid the
jeers of his companions, who shouted
at him because he had been found out.

Turned Over to the Sheriff OF
Gogebic County.
He Admits to 0ncors That he Committed
various Robberlcs-The Prisoner

MARQUETTE, Mich, Sept. 2.-IIol-
zhay, the Gogebic stage robber who was
captured Saturday, was yesterday turned
over to the sheiilT of Gogcbic County,
who arrived here yesterday morning, ac-
eompanied by persons whose presence
was required for the purpose of identi-
tying the prisoner, among them being
the driver of the stage that was held up
when Fleischbcin was shot and robbed.
The Gogcbic sheriff left with his pris-
oncr last evening. The prisoner was
sullen and defiant, his demeanor
showing him TO DO ready for aay
desperate deed that would give
him death or liberty. When be
was brongliL to the station to Take sbe
Train theie was an ipmense crtwl gss4-'
'ered there. AS they crowded about Gle
officer who had him in charge, the pris.
oner scowlcd and said; "lf had my
guns and was free, you fellows would
not be 80 anxious to get close TO me-"
He refused to talk concerning his cx-
plot to any but Officers Glode and Wei
sci, who captured him; but to these he
made a statement, in which he admittCd
that he is the man who went through
the Minnesota and Northwestern train
between Maple Valley and Ellis juno
ton last Maya Wisconsin Central tram
In August, besides having held mp scy-
eral stage coaches in Northern Wiscon-
sin during the past six months and
committed numerous other small rob
berries He was at once recognized By
the driver Of the Gogebic stage as the
man who had halted and fired on the
stage, and recognized the driver in
turn.

were made to lynch the miscrcant on
Saturday night, but it was learned
chat Sheriff Foley and his deputies
would protect his life at all hazards, and
the movement fell through. There was
but one thing that prevented his swing
Ing, and that was the decided attitude
OF the Yhedtf, WHO, . ihadtr ;aiionAthc
people, here, and who is known to be
one of the braycst and most determined
men of the country. The jail is solid
building, recently built, and would be
hard to force. 1t is now altogether un-
likely that any attempt will be made to
mctc out frontier justice to the high
Wayman. He will be tried at the next
term of the circuit court, which will
meet in about six weeks. As there is
no doubt Of llolszay's guilt the penalty
for highway robbery and murder will
be sentence of life imprisonment at

S. l.. Loomis published the result OF
the census of 1880 within $4,000 of the
actual figures. He estimates that the
population OF the country in 1890 will
reach 67,2jO,OO0, an increase during
the last decade of more than 30 per
cent. To allow reasonable margin
for possible error we may place the to-
tal at 67. 900. 600, and the decennial in
crease at 80 per cent. Should this
ratio of increase continue, our popula-
,ion ut the end of each decade during
the next 100 years will be represented
by the following figures, the pro-
gressive immeusity of which will SUR
prise most people and perhaps cause
them to wonder what this country Is

SLAVES IN ZANZIBAR.
Beven- -Eighths Of the Empires Population
Owned by Arabs.

Owned by Arabs.
To give an idea of the Importance OF
the slave question to the people here
it is only necessary to mention the fact
that not less than seven-eighths OF the
population are slaves. Some Arabs
have as many as | 200, and the number
of those who count them by hundreds
Is not small. The less wealthy resi-
dents find the best possible employ
ment for their capital is to buy slaves.
whose services they let out on hire to
the Europeans for high wages, a
small negro boy, whose average price
would be $50 can earn 20 pesas day.
Europeans, in whose employment these
negroes are, often have not the least
suspicion that they carry the lions
share of their wages to their Arab
masters. The blockade has not been
successful in preventing the trade in
which every one on this coast, at least
every Arab, takes part. Although the
sailing Of slaves in the open market
mas not been Tolerated since 1913, N
still takes place in closed rooms
Europeans being excluded there
from), and is perfectly legal. 1t may
seem strange that negro laborcrs can
not be transported BY sea, which Is
allowed in the case OF women
