The Canadian Exhibit In tho Liberal
Arts Building at the Worlds Fair.
In. some particulars the British
methods of managing the North Ameri-
can Indians has been more successfu1
than that pursued by the white people
south OF the great lakes. In Canada's
exhibit in the Liberal Arts building
there is an Indian exhibition which
shows that the Canadians have relied
upon the education of the Indians to
control them. Long preceding like
effort in the United States, the Cana
dians have had Indian industrial
schools in operation, and the exhibit in
Canada's display consists of products of
these schools, and along with it at
present are seven Indian girls and
boys. They are from the northwest
territory, and are pupils of St. Albert's
school, Edmonton, San Bonifaces
school, opposite Winnipeg, and tho
school at Battleford on the Saskatcke-
wan river. The girls and boys. repre-
sent the Crees, Satteux and Muske-
gons OF the northwest territory and
are from the blanketed or most un-

children are kept at work before the
public at their respective trades, and
make an interesting and creditable
showing at mantua-making, harness.
making, boot and shoe making, and
typesetting. They are surrounded by
samples Of work from all the industrial
schools, and in contrast are arrayed
Indian fabrications. feathered garments.
utensils and weapons, which thew
made wore, and used in the savage
state.
The exhibit in its entirety is striking
and interesting. and instructive in
showing what the Canadians are doing
for it's six hundred children in the in
dustrial schools and seven thousand at
the Indian day and boarding schools
The children at present at work will
be rep aced by others soon from other
schools, and Charles de Cazes, who has
the Canadian Indian exhibit in charge,
will shortly have some of the blanketed
Indians of the northwest territory
added to Prof. Putnam's chronological
exhibit.

A Story of Cold Nerve Developed Under
A Stress of Circumstances.
"As general thing" said an old
forty-niner, ''the tenderfoot wasn't in
II with the bad man of the mining
camp, and it wasn't natural to expect
that he should be, but occasionally
there did appear one who could more
than hold his own. 1 recall man
named Caleb Finby, who came to
Dream gulch in its earlier days when
that region was full of bad men. He
was TALL spare young man with
head full of brains and he was quick
and businesslike in everything that he
did, but still he vas not a man that
the generality of men would have
picked out as the possessor of nerve.
MIR. Finby set out one day to go to
the neighboring camp of Devils Claw
canyon. AS he was proceeding along
the road he suddenly came upon, or,
rather, there came suddenly upon him,
man who asked him to throw up his
hands. 1t was Big Bill Better, the ter
ror of DEVILS Claw canyon.

Mr.. Finby went on:
But realize now as I have done
before, the carelessness of going about
in this way practically unarmed, and
ii you'll permit me I'll load now as a
guard against future contingencies,
"Mr. Finby's hands came down as he
uttered the concluding words, for he
had seen the hand that had held the
pistol leveled against him fall slowly
as the terror listened with a sort Of
astonished amusement.
"Mr. Finby had in his hip pocket
pistol and in his waistcoat pocket a
box of cartridges, which he had bought

but which he had never brought
together into useful injunction.
partly because he was not personally
bloodthirsty, and partly because OF
overconfidence in the human race. But
he proceeded now to load with perfect
calmness, but in his heart amazed at
the utter lack of precaution now dis
played by Mr.. Better, who stood lean.
ing against tree and laughing, an.
parently quite overcome by the broad
humor OF the situation. Suddenly il
was discovered that Mr.. Finby's gun
was being held in such position that
Mr.. Better could, without inconven-
ience, look square into the muzzfe of it.
and Mr.. Better discovered also at the
same moment in Mr.. Finby's eye light
whose meaning no sane man could by
any possibility misunderstood. Mr..
Better was man with vast apprecia-

sense of humor could discover the

II seems n little odd that the tendency
should be to give a sectional colorlng to
every political question that comes up
for consideration.
It was So with the silver question when
certain persons representing either sec
lion were clamorous for union OF the
West and South against the North ana
East, as the sections most 20 he benefited
by the free and unlimited coinage OF the
Western product.
1t was and ls so with nopulists who seek
m alliance Of the West ana South for
offensive and defensive political warfare
against the balance Of the country. It
was sectionalism which maintained the
republican party In power for so long r.
time and solidihed the South under the
bnnner OF democracy. IL was sectional
ism which blinded the eyes OF Northern
voters when the question OF war taxes
was sought to be forced upon their at
tention and the political crimes Of the re-
publican party were paraded before them.
1t was rampant sectl1nalism which caused
the Northern voter to be frightened away
by the cry OF "the South in the saddle"
and 'rebei flag foolshness. when he
seemed prone to hnrken TO the voice
OF poutico-economic reforms. II is mere
seetionalism which prompts n good deal
Of the stuff about ''wal street" and the
gold bugs and other bogys OF some
Southern and Western extremists. and it
81 sectionalism narrowed down to the
most contracted limits OF localism that at
tacks the tariff reform bill because Of Cup
posed injury to local interests.
The proposition to impose tax on in
comes has provoked the ranlest sort Of
sectionallsm as shown by the press OF
various sections Of the country and by a
poll OF the members OF congress. which
gives the geographical phase OF The ques-
tion. The East, for example, shows for
and 3s against the tax, while the South
shows a for and against the tax The
West Is more evenly divided. but upon po-
htical lines, democrats generally favoring
and republicans almost solidly opposing
any Increase in internal taxes, the repub-
lican policy being to conhne the sources
OF government revenue as nearly as pos
sible to customs duties.
What pity this narrow sectionalism
could not be discarded altogether and a
broader view taken OF National questions
which AFFECT the whole countryl
