What n Pretty Baby!

Is it boy or girl? How often do we hear this remark and question. Yes, it is a pretty baby, but how bad its moth CT looks. She looks as if she were go- ing right down She is so thin and yell low, and her face is covered with wrin- kles and blotches. She seems so ner- vous and irritable too; but it is easy to account for her condition.

English Shire Horses.

We are q great admirer of good
horses, and never miss an opportunity
tie take good look and examine
them closely. Since taking charge of
the TRIBUNE we have constantly
urged upon the farmers of Stevens
county the necessity and Importance
Of improving their breed of horses,
contending that it does not pay to
raise scrubs. Yesterday we had the
privilege of examining two of the
finest English Shire horses that we
ever saw-and we have seen good
many. These horses, "Guardsman"
and "Black Chief" owned by the
Minnesota Agricultural company, of
Hancock, Mimi, will make the sea-
son at Morris. Guardsman is five
years old and was imported one year
ago. Black Chief is two years old,
and was imported last August. He is
perfection itself, while Guardsman
cannot we'll be excelled. AS draft
horses, we doubt if they have aHy
superiors In the state of Minnesota.
Farmers and horse raisers, who wish
to improve their stock, should not
fail to examine these magnificent
horses. They are grand specimens OF
a grand breed.

Railroads.,

We are not one of those who believe
that all railroad companies are robbers,
or, as the saying goes, ''soulless corpora
TONS" The cry that "the railroads are
robbing the farmers of the west,' may
be answered by the statement that there
would be mighty few western farmers
who wonld have anything to be robbed
of had it not been for railroads. Farm
ing in the west and northwest would not
be the most profitable business in the
world if there were no railroads to carry
farm products to market. To bring the
matter right home, how much would
land in Stevens county be worth today
if there was no railroad running through
it? Probably from $1.25 to 81 per acre.
Whereas, with our present railroad IA
cilities it is worth ten times that amount.
And what would be the profits of a
farm if the farmer had to haul his pro-
ducts with team of oxen or horses? It
is we'll enough to think of these things
occasionally. That there are cases where
railroad companies are sometimes oppres-
sive we will not deny. That is human
nature. and that trait is not unfrequently
exhibited by individuals. And we be-
lieve that as a rule railroad companies
are quite as liberal and as ready to grant
favors as are individuals. We have al
ways found this to be so, Take, for in
stance, the Manitoba railroad manage.
ment's treatment of our own town of
Morris and Stevens county. Unless we
have been misinformed, this railroad
company has almost invariably been lib
orally disposed towards our people, and
many of our business men have told us
that whenever they have asked any rea-
sonable favors they have always been
granted, and that they have had no good
reason to complain of the treatment they
have received. And we are quite certain
that the Minitoba is at the present time
more than ever disposed to aid this coun-
ty in it's efforts to induce settlers to To-

An Indian Entertainment.

In compliance with n kind invita-
ton from the Mother Superior, we
visited the Indian Shoot yesterday
1t being holiday, an entertainment
was given by the Indian children,
consisting of singing. dialogues, cha-
rades, plays, &c, which to us was eX-
tremely interesting. While Witness
ing the performers rs they went
through their different parts, we could
not help thinking what these child
rem were one year ago when they
came to the school and what they are
now. When they arrived at the
school Twenty-Five i'll number) many
of them could not speak word OF
English, and now most Of them speak
the language tluently and correctly;
have learned to read, and quite
number of them to write, SO that they
write letters back to their former
homes; the girls have learned to sew,
knit, and perform household work,
and the boys are learning to do farm
work. They vary in age from SIX or
seven to seventeen or eighteen. None
are taken under the age of SIX or over
seventeen. Among them are some as
bright and pretty children as any one
would wish to see. In accordance
with the contract with the United
States government, the girls are edu-
Gated and taught to do household
work, and the boys haye practical ed
ucation in farming. None OF them
have been at the school more than II
year, and the progress they have made
is trnly wonderful. None but the
most untirlng patience and earnest
endeavor on the part of the Sisters
who have charge or them could have
brought about such wonderful
change in these Indian children. Too
much credit cannot be given the Sis
ters for the good work they have done
and are doing.
The manner in which the children
went through the parts assigned them
in the entertainment would been cred
liable to white children, and shows
that Indians are capable OF not only
beng civilized, but being made vAiu-
able members of civilized society.
No pains are spared by the Sisters
to fully comply with the requirements
of the government in training these
"children ofthe forest and it is graf
flying to know that they haye sue
ceeded most admirably.
Tonight the Mother Superior and
one of the Sisters leave here for the
Fort Berthold Reservation, i'll the ex-
treme northwest section of North Da-
kota, for the purpose Of bringing back
with them thirty Arikaree, Gros Ven
ire and Mandan Indian children, in
accordance with a contract with the
government to train and educate
them. Surely the good wishes of our
readers will go with them in their
long and trying journey and earnestly
hope for their safe return. They ex-
pect to be gone two weeks.

Free Text Books.

EDITOR TRIBUNE:-I was pleased
to note your article on Free Text
Books" having had some experience
of the practical working ofthe system
In the last two or three years.
In one town in Minnesota, of about
the size of Morris, the plan has been
in operation for several years. and 1t
was found by actual experiment,
that the average cost per pupil for
the books used in the first eight years
of school was but 431a cents a year.
One reason for the lessened cost is
found in the fact that books are not
thrown aside as soon as one class is
done with them, but are passed on to
the next class. Another reason Is,
that in O school having an annual
enrolment of 800, there are rarely
more than $50 in actual attendance.
Hence it Is not necessary to buy books
for the 800, and direct saving to the
district is made in this way.
It might be thought that because
the books are public property the
pupils would be careless in using
them; but, in fact, they seem to be
kept better than the average pupil
keeps his own books. This is probably
due largely to the fact that teachers
feel personally responsible for the
care of the books in their respective
rooms.
An effective system has been de-
vised for keeping account ofthe books,
and each teacher is required to report
to the district clerk at the end OF the
term the condition of all books in use
in his room.
or course, one of the greatest bene-
fits to the schools of the free text
book system is that it enables many
parents to send their children to
school more regularly, and keeps
them in school longer than they
would otherwise feel possible to do.
The gain In this respect is, I believe,
considerable, and 1 agree with you
in thinking that it is only q question
of time when free text books will be
the rule, not the exception. ***

It would seem from the communi-
cation of E. E. Solseth, postmaster at
Nash, which appears in another
column, that he Is sadly disguised
with politicians, political parties,
congress, the supreme court, inter-
state commission, and, in fact, our
government and our great republic,
and has about come to the conclusion
that everything Is going to the ever
lasting bow-wows. Well, there Is
one consolation We can offer our
friend Solseth, and that is this:
America Is not the only country on
the face of the earth, and If he knows
of II better one, there is no law pre-
venting him from emigrating there.
Every news item we get into our

telligent people there certainly are

be delighted to publish, but for some
reason they neglect to let us know.
The public ut large seem to take it for
granted that we neglect to know ev-
erything, and although we try hard to
keep pace with the times, it's a phys
ical impossibility to get all the news.

EDITOR TRIBUNE:-It is a matter
of some surprise to see such candid
and liberal minded people as one
would expect to find among the read
ers of all the journals, still wasting
their time and valuable newspaper
space talking tariff. The people have
just paid the heavy expenses of a
years tariff talk by our great jaw
gymnasium at Washington, that in
fernal fraud, made up of corporation
attorneys, bankers, thieves, perjurers
and political strumpets, and still the
farmers seem not only willing but
anxious to be played for fools.
Farmers, it is not necessary to con-
tinue the farce. The politicians are
through with you and the tariff for
this year. You can take rest, raise
another crop for the corporations and
be ready to make red hot fight on
the tariff four years hence; in the
mean time those private concerns, the
trusts, banks and transportation kings
will squeeze from you the necessary
funds to carry the next election in
their favor. Already they are putting
the squeezers in working order. Soon

which is another proof that rail roads
cannot be controlled by law, will be

ial action, the supreme court their

backs which are in the way of the

terest-bearing bonds as safe invest

interest on, and then you can also

ment it is safe to say that they will
have their way. They have ceased to
fear your vote as they have discovered
that you have not got sense enough TO
use 1t for yourselves, and where party
