Hon. NJ. III. McCord has introduced
bill for the establishment and main.
tenance of an Indian Industrial school
in Wisconsin. The Secretary of the
Interior has decided to erect six more
of these schools, and it was decided
to give one of these to Wisconsin.

the state. 1t is required by the pro-
visions of the bill that not less than
200 acres of land be accepted for the
site of the building. There are
schools of this character in Pensyl-
vania, Kansas and many other western
states, and they are said to be very
successful. Mr.. McCord was request
ed by the Secretary of the Interior
and the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs to introduce the bill, which
provides that the Secretary of the In
terror may accept donations of lands
for the site. or other donations for the
purposes of the school.

Outwitting n Shirker.

An Anglo-Indian officer, of the Bengal
Artillery, relates an anecdoie of one of
those soldiers who in military phrase are
known as malingerers, but whom common
people would call shirks. A gunner,
named Ichabod Crabb, went to see the
hospital authorities on the subject of a
strange affection of the back, which com

was heavy gun-d drilling going on at this
time, DR.. Triton formed his own opin-
ion of the case, and determined to let the
man work out his own cure. He ordered
Crabb's breakfast to be placed on high
cupboard i'll the wall, to reach which the
patient would have to stand erect. At
dinner-time the cook reported Crabbs

DIR. Triton, and the treatment was con-
tinued throughout the day. The next
morning when the doctor called to see
his patient, he found that his prescrip-
ton had been cflicacious. Crabb had
eaten his supper and breakfast, and de-
clared himself fit for duty. "Cupboard

would not sell. So the golden bullion

Mr.. F., when bidding adieu, observed:
"Well, suppose we may at last con-.

"Not quite" said the Boer; "you still

farmer, worried with the custody of so
much coin in his house, resolves with
many misgivings to pay the purchase
money into the Standard Bank, but the
following week. he demands to withdraw
his deposit, and the hard cash is again
produced. He counts it over carefully,
and, once more treasured, shoyes it back
into the cashiers hands. The Beers do
not, in fact, seem to have the slightest
comprehension of the first principles OF
finance. Another of this class asked

proposed deposit of 1925, 600. "We will
