INDIAN BOYS.
First Attempt to Educate Them on the
Pacific Coast,

First Attempt to Educate Them on the
Pacific Coast.
Now that so much is being done at
Hampton and Carlisle to educate and
civiliZe children of savage races, there is
all the more interest to be found in the
story of tire first attempt to educate an
Indian on the Pacific Slope. In "The
fur-Hunters" Mr.. Ross tells how the
Hudson's Bay ComanY secured for this
purpose the son of Kootanais chief
and the son Of Spokane. chief, about
the year 1920.
These natives, notwithstanding their
aversion to part with their children-and
particularly so on this occasion, it being
the first proposal that had ever been
made to them by the whites tor their
children to leave their native country
either for education or any other pur
pose-had so much confidence that, after
council or two had sat, the chiefs not
only complied with the request but, as
more striking example of their willing
ness, agreed to let two of their children
avail themselves of the proffered boon,
and without hesitation delivered them up
to me.
the ceremony attending it, the father of
one of the boys got up and made
harangue.
"You see," said he to me, "we have
given you our children" striking at the
same time one hand on his left breast,
and with the other pointing to the moth
er of the boy, mot our servants or our
slaves, but our own children. We have
given you our hearts-our children are
our hearts-but bring them back again
to US before they become white men
we wish to see them once more Indians
and after that you can make them
white men if you like. But let them not
get sick or die. If they get sick, we
shall get sick; if they die, we shall die.
Take them; they are now yours"
The chief then sat down, when all
present broke out into lamentations,
after which the chief rose and put the
boys hands into mine, and we parted,
much impressed.

Deadly " Rough ON Rats."

I have helped in very large number
OF poisoning cases, says DR.. o. H. Hort
wig, and succeeded in defeating the in
tentions of several would-be suicides,
but, until quite recently, l never had a
case, nor, indeed, heard of one, in which
a man or woman who had selected the
"rough on rats" route to eternity recov-
cred under medical treatment. A young
lady was saved week or two ago after
she had taken a small quantity of this
peculiar poison, but her sutferings were
excruciating, and she may never fully
recover. There is hope after almost any
poison except trough on rats" has been
taken if a physician is summoned
promptly, but there is something in this
vermin-killer which seems to defy medical
skill. This is probably due to the pres
ence of arsenic and corrosive sublimate
of phosphorus Atany rate, it is absurd

sons, so-called, and yet let this deadly
