A writer in London Truth suggests
that an association of girls be formed
who ehall pledge themselves to pro-
pose to any man whom they may coz
slider desirable for husband. He be.
ieves mat proposing should not be
limited to men, and that men, who, as
he claims, are naturally more bashful
than girls, often remain single because
they have not the courage to propose,
and, as consequence, many girls arc
husbandless. But there is this differ
ence in favor of the present order OF
things: If man is refused, ne soon
forgets it and in few days is ready to
ask another girl to marry him, while o
girl who had suffered failure would
first cry her eyes out with embarrass.
nent, then turn cynical and never look
at man again.

1t is the opinion of men familiar
with the character of the Navajo In
dians, declares the Argonant. that
war with them will provo to be seri
GUS business for the Government. The
tribe numbers about thirty thousand,
of whom nine thousand are fighting
warriors. The reservation where they
are intrenched is rough and difficult,
and contains many passes where, ac-
cording to one authority, "two Indians
can hold their ground against the en-
tire United States Army" The Nava-
joes have trained their ponies to go
without water for two days, if neces-
sary. The whole tribe is armed with
the most approved repeating rifles, and
the bucks have been storing emmuni.
ton for years in anticipation of trou
BILE. The Navajoes have perfect sys-
tenn of signals and scouts, and are al
ways informed hours in advance of tho
mo~sments Of troops sent againss

The conquest of arid America has
but fairly begun and will not be COM
pleted for some time in the nameless
distant future. Water is taken from
rivers and streams by means of dams,
pumping devices and canals; vast areas
in the mountains are covered by well
constructed reservoirs; springs, see
page and drainage sources are utilized,
and even the underfow-that hidden
and comparatively inexhaustiblc foun-
tain-is being tapped in many localities.
Artesian wells, counted ny thousands,
and underground tunnels and channels
are flowing, and being constructed,
almost everywhere. That sustaining
element CT plant-life, water, is sought
and secured by men of enterprise and

Bees and birds court the society OF
man-that is, they seek the localities
where fields and gardens abound, for
they fare better when human industry
extorts from the soil the products
upon which they subsist. A Maine
bee culturist says it is the rarest thing
in the world to find bees away from
the settlements or from openings
where flowers grow. It is in the small
patches of forests they are oftenest
found and generally not far from the
edge of the woods. 1t is the same with
birds. There are no song birds in the
northern Maine wilderness and scarcely
anything that can be called bird life.
Birds cluster around towns and villages.

TWAS A DRY SUNDAY
Police Keep a Surveillance Of the
Habitual LaWbreakerS.
President Buckle, of the Board ofSafety,
and Superintendent Powell
Make a Tour.

The throat Of the habitual Sabbath tip
pier was abnormally dry yesterday. This
excessive abstinence was simply brought
about by the renewed police vigilance di-
rected by Superintendent Powell. All day
yesterday more than half the force of night
patrolmen and officers aided the day men
in keeping a strict lookout after the rear
doors and back th~oroughfares leading to
saloons and gambling rooms, their efforts
were rewarded by a quiet day and few ar
rests. Superintendent Powell and Colonel
Ruckle, of the Board of Safety, made q
personal tour of the city during the morn
ing and a portion OF the afternoon. They
Inspected the exterior of many saloons
whose proprietors have openly avowed
their intention of running the business in
direct violation of the laws. In many in
stances the blinds were found tightly
drawn, but the absence Of everything indi-
eating business being transacted on the in
side led the officials to believe that the
stubborn proprietors were doing no busi-
ness at all.
Yesterday a number of drug stores were
quietly watched by the police, a fact which
caused considerable annoyance to a certain
class of customers. There are a number
Of these establishments against which COM
RIail il~S CCh A0ot " DlGn IO
charged that the druggists were being
specially favored. 1t is the intention of the
superintendent to make these places also
obey the law. In speaking OF this side Of
the liquor trafflc, superintendent Powell
said last night.
Il propose TO favor no individual more
than another. There are doubtless drug
gists in Indianapolis who have made It a
long practice to sell whisky on Sunday to
e class of customers who are unable TO get
inside OF a saloon or who do not care TO
compromise themselves by visiting a sa-
loon. This illegal business must stop as
we'll as the illegal business of the regular
ly licensed saloon keeper. And not only
is il the intention to shut off the sale of
liquor on Sunday but We expect 10 look out
for the gamblers, and, in fact, every class
Of men who persist in breaking the city
a squirt OF affected morality or virtue, but
the efforts now being made to suppress
Sunday lawbreaking are TO be kept up.
or course the laws Will be violated in some
fragrant abuses shall be carried on under
the very noses OF the police department.
] believe that every officer IN the force
honestly shares my views on this subject
favor the suppression Of this wrong. The
Board of Safety is a unit on the subject.
There are no favorites TO be protected.
Every man caught violating these Sunday
ordinances Will be arrested and prose-
cuted."
But two arrests were made yesterday in
cases where the laws were violated. Pa
trolman Shaffer brought in Leo Hirth,
from his East Washington-street saloon,
on the charge of giving away liquor on
Sunday. The officer stood outside of Hirth's
place and watched him treat his friends.
Jack Weber, bartender for Henry Stuck,
street, was arrested by Officer Harris for
the same OlfenSe.

the working people, whom it was INTENDED
to reach by distributing tickets and SO hold
a place specially for them, they did not
In any measure avail themselves of the OPP
portunity. The audience on the evening or
the benefit, while an inteiligent ara appre,

leader in church, temperance, missionary or
reform work.
1.-THE investigation made 10 ascertain who
would be eligible for admission to the free
entertainment at the close Of the series re-
Vealed the fact that there were not enough
people, even among those who did not go 10

these luxuries, as any one who could in
dulge III them was too rich to nave as eA-
pensive an entertainments arranged for them
at no cost to thenlSelN IS. has the expert
ment failed? L hope not. And yet the
question that arises is a very serious one.
Are the working people becoming so bur-
dened with the question OF mere SuStenance
that they could, not enjoy such things
enough to take the trouble to attend or 10
deny themselves 10 cents worth Of beer or
tobacco in order to secure them? When
the people find the grind OF life SO heavy
that hey will not even want recreation
when easily obtained there is great danger
OF dullness of intellect being the result, and
that would be disastrous, indeed, in a land
where the people are the source of new de-
signs and inventions in so many depart
mentss of labor. The effort to have the pu-
pills of the high schools take advantage or
the educational features of the entertain
ment, with the cordial Endorsement of Su-
perintendent Jones and the aid OF professor
1fullOFu, VIII Eediluy SSCOllueu II dS OSiib
in the line of public school education, met
with but a feeble response, as the scarcity
of boys and girls in the audience on their
special evening showed. IF the present plan
of giving artistic popular entertainments
should seem TO fail so far rs the reach
ing Of the masses who have few, If
any, special pleasures i'm a public way; an
other plan will be tried after consultation
with those who have had much experience
i'm such things and achieved success. Tor
the present it has been decided that the en-
tertainment for which tickets were distrib-
uted for the use of factory employees will not
be given on Monday evening, and there will
be no more free entertainments. Any tick
cts Of admission, for 10 cents for any date,
can be used on Tuesday or Wednesday
evenings, when the lecture will be open to
the general public at the same price, and
tickets will not be needed by those VINO have
none"
