A Monumental Work.
A LIBRARY OF
AMERICAN LITERATURE,
COMPLIED AND EDITED BY
r EDMUND CLARANCE STEDMAN
AND
MACKEY HUTCHINSON.

A work of great value so pronounced by PROF.
JOHN FIsKE, j. G. WHITTIER DR.. o. W. HOLMES,
w. D. HowEILs, Col. T. w. HIGGINsoE, PROF.
MOSES C. TAYLOR, and many other prominent
scholars and authors.
In ten elegant octave volumes, of over 800 pa
ges each handsomely illustrated, with l5 full
page portraits to each volume. This work is
really the intellectual history of America; it is
collection of the best selections that be made
from all that has been written by American au-
thors, and is arranged chrOnolOically, SO that
the reader may view the course of our literature
from its inception in 1907 to it's present variety
and eminece. 1t is a complete library in Itself
OF engrossig interest throughout. The selec-
tions are very full and, while they give compre,
hensve idea of the style and mental callbre OF
every author represented, they are at the same
time intensely interesting. The work is and
must remain the standard collection of our nat
ional literature, and it should have sale even
more steady and lasting than that of our stan
dard en- cyclopedias; because. although equally
valuable in its way. it is more interesting than
any encyclopedia, and because it can never be-
come ont of date or be superseded by
something newer and
more abreast of the times. No set of books has
ever been more favorably received by the public
and press

INDIAN SCHOOLS.
Sioux Chiefs Dissatisfied With
the Present System.
Agency Schools Favored by
the Commission.

Prom so to 70 Per Cent. of the Pupils
Educated at Carlisle and Hampton Die
Within Four Years After Their Return
Home-An Old Chiefs Opinion Con-
cerning the Fogs at Hampton.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The Post says
that it is understood the Sioux chiefs had
rather turbulent interview with the
commissioner of Indian affairs over the
subject of Indian schools.
Object to Eastern Schools.
Mr.. Irvine Miller, secretary of the Sioux
commission, when questioned upon the
subject, said:
1T is natural that the Indians should
be dissatisfied with the schools at Hamp-
ton and Carlisle. In the first place, from
30 to 70 per cent. of the pupils
at Carlisle and Hampton die within four
years of their return home-die like
sheep with the murrain, principally
from pulmonary complaints. This is
due either to the effect of the eastern
climate or to the enervating influence of
closed houses after an outdoor life.
1T may be that going back to the hills
and the rude teepees of their parents after
the comforts Of civilization, is the cause
of this great mortality, but the death
rate is fearful and the Indians object to
the eastern schools.
Another objection is urged that sew
eral years in the east teaches the young
Indians to dispise their kinsman, to lose
the natural gratitude and affection due
their parents, whom they find on their
return living in ignorance. sqialor and
wretchedness, and their education
makes a gap which cannot be bridged,
while if the schools were at the agency
the children would daily take home
some evidence of civilization, and bet
ter mode of living and lift their parents
to higher level"
a Poetic Old Chief.
One old Indian expressed himself very
POLITICALLY to the Indian commissioner
when speaking of the fogs which are
frequent at Hampton: 1.-The breath of
the earth, said he, ''rises up and poisons
our children"
Agency Schools Favored.
The Sioux commission favors the
agency school plan, and it seems to have
the weight of argument
