The PaxaIlup Indians.

Two miles from Tacoma lies the reser-
vation Of the Puyallup Indians. 1t in
cludes $4,000 acres, all held in seyeralty
by less than 9,000 Indians, who are all
self supporting and most Of them citizens
and voters. They are among the most
advanced Indians in the country. and
here we find one Of the best Government
schools, with large and commodious
building, where the children of these In
dians are given industrial and mental
training. As onepasses through theneat
corridor he Is impressed with the bright.
intelligent faces Of the children, and .
visit to the schoolroom shows him that
they are not mentally inferior to white
children. A class Of boys and girls were
doing problems in decimals and percent
age which might have puzzled older
brains, while the eager faces, the spark
ling eyes. the undagging attention. all
gave evidence of good mental ability.
Many Of the faces bore marked resem-
blance 10 tina Chinese, and suggested the
old theory that the Indians came origi.
nally from Asia, by way Of Bering
Strait. The teachers spoke with enthu.
siasm Of the faithfulness and persever-
ance Of these children; but here, as

Moral rdueatson.


The subject of moral education in the
public schools Is at present enlisting moro
attention from teachers and the educa-
tional conventions than almost any othar
subject that comes before them for dis
cussion. How shall morals be taught in
the schools7 How shall we give the
young people stronger and better wills
and higher motives ?--are questions con-
stantiy asked. The greatest factor in the
moral life and culture of the school,
whatever books are conned there. will
always be the high minded teacher.
Keep the high minded teacher in the
school, inspire the teacher with proper
sense Of his vocation, and moral adnca.
ton will radiate from that teacher,
whether the subject before the class be
the Ten Commandments or the rule Of
three. We are OF those who distrust tho
good of very much direct moral teaching
in the schools-very much analytical
study. we mean, on the part Of the young
folks, Of the subject Of duty and duties.
We would not say absolutely that moral
science, well presented, has no place in
the public school, In the high school at
any rate; but we do believe, generally
speaking. that it is q study Of very ques-
tionable advantage there. We hear
much said nowadays, sometimes too
much, about making education concrete.
II there be any place where education
should be concrete, IL Is in what concerns
the moral education OF boys and girls.
What ia wanted here Is inspiration. some.
thing that shall kindls the sense Of duty,
something that shall give aim and inn
pulse to the larger and better life. some
thing that shall give the public and gen.
erous spirit. instead Of the selfish and
private spirit.-New England Magazine.

&xpl0fes 81 A. O. Hobbs, the Once Fa>
mous ssYanIxee Lock Picker.''
The death at Bridgeport, Conn.,, of A.
G. Hobbs recalls his romantic experience
in picking the safety locks employed by
bankers 40 years ago.
The object which Mr.. Hobbs had in
picking locks was to demonstrate the
great superiority Of the Day & Newell
lock, which he was selling, over that
OF all others then in use. For this
purpose he made his own tools. His first
notable feat was opening, at Stamford,
Conn.,, the lock and paddock conabina-
tion Of the Andrews Bank lock, supposed
to be invincible. This task he accom-
plished in % minutes. For four years he
continued his work, when to stop him .
reward Of $500 was offered to any one
who would open within 80 days the Her
ring safe in the Merchants Exchange,
New York. Hobbs accepted the chal-
ienge and picked the lock in less than an
hour.
His exploits in London caused . fu-
rore. Bramah, the celebrated lockmaker
of London, had on exhibition In his win
dow 3 lock of his own production. He
offered 200 guineas to any one who could
open it without key. Mr.. Hobbs stud
led the lock through the window and
then went to his box and procured few
tools. He then went into Bramah's store
and asked the clerk to show him the lock
which hung in the window. The clerk
handed it to him, turned around. and as
he did so heard click. He wheeled
quickly, and to his astonished gaze Mr..
Hobbs presented the lock opened. The
clerk summoned his employer, who would
not acknowledge that the lock had been
fairly opened. Hobbs challenged him to
q public trial. The challenge was ac-
cepted, and before a selected COMMITTEES
Hobbs opened the lock in few seconds.
He was given the 200 guineas.
One day he strolled into the Office Of
Brown, Shipley & Co., bankers, who
were supposed to have on their vault
doors the most secure lock in all Eng
land. Taking advantage of an oppor-
tanity, he opened the lock while the MEM
Der OF the firm with whom he had been
talking stepped out Of the room for a
moment. When the banker returned
and saw the vault door open his surprise
was complete. The result was an order
for set Of the locks which Hobbs was
selling.
Mr.. Brown, Of the firm mentioned, was
the inventor Of the lock and had written
an elaborate description, showing how
many million combinations it had, the

What President Conrad Has to Sa,
About the Big Lottery,


New ORLEANS, Aug. 26.-President
Paul Conrad of the Louisiana Lottery
Company was interviewed to-day about
the dispatch regarding the company's at
tempt to purchase location in the Sand
witch Islands. He said: at is a fake
sensation, pure and simple, or malicious
concoction designed, perhaps, to preju-
dice the company in the minds of the
people of the United States by creating
the impression that our business is to
be removed from the legal restrictions
and accountability it is now under by
virtue of the laws of Louisiana. Were
the Louisiana State Lottery Company to
become Hawaiian instead of a Louisi-
ana concern, of course it would be practi-
cally an impossibility to enforce claims
against it; whereas, being a duly char
tered corporation Of this State, it is
amenable to the laws. Obligations can
be enforced through the courts against
1t the same as against any lawful and re-
sponSible company"
But what are the company's plans for
the future? Might not their negotiations
be carried on without your knowledge"
Scarcely. Such vast sums as are talked
OF are not carried In one's vest pocket nor
expended by one member of a concern
without consulting his associates The
owners of the Louisiana Lottery are now
scattered over the globe seeking peace or
pleasure, according to their condition or
taste. Mr.. Morris, with friends, has been
for weeks cruising about in his yacht,
and doubt if anyone mas communicated
with him on business of any description.
Certainly he is not giving himself any
concern about lottery business, and l re-
peat there is simply nothing in this alleged
San Francisco story except idle gossip, SO
far as L know, and think know all the
facts. The Louisiana Lottery Company
will live out its allotted time as fixed by

A Diabolica1 Trio

If there is one more fiendish than the
hateful trinity, dyspepsia, biliousness and
irregularity of the bowels, usually ex-
istent together, we are unaware of it.
Those cooperative organs, the stomach,
the bowels and the liver, are usually
thrown out Of gear together, and the
restoration of regularity to one is usually
the signal for the others to fall into line.
Hosteuter's Stomach Bitters controls all
three benefcently and completely, not
only regulating but invigorating them.
1t also exerts most happy influence
upon the kidneys and the blood, giving a
healthful impulse and enriching the sec
ond. 1t overcomes malaria and tend
ency to chronic rheumatism and neu-
ralgia, and improves appetite and sleep.
To the nervous it affords unspeakable
relief. A wineglassful three times daily
will, if persisted in, achieve results to be
expected from no other health medium.
