Why is Il that our government bestirs
itself in exercising a paternal control
over savage. unwashed and uncom bed
Indians while in many cases, white citi-
zens who by their daily toll support the
government and pay taxes to it have to
"rustle" for themselves.
The government has just agreed to
buy all the blankets the Navajo Indians
can make. This makes a magnificent
market for the Navajo Indians. but what
becomes Of the American wOrkingmen
who make blankets and who are thus
thrown out Of employment
If they form Coxey armies and move
on Washington demanding employment,
the government responds to their plea:
Get out Of here; we do not furnish en-
plOyment to such as you; We furnish
employment to none but Navajo In
dianay
Our government which throws up its
hands in horror AZ the word paternalism,
does not stop at purchasing all the
blankets made by the Navajoes. 1t has
issued an order to the Indian department
to purchase some Of the best rams to be
found for the purpose of improving the
hocks of the Navajo Indians
The Navajoes own 10000 sheep, a
princely heritage, but they are not of the
best breeds, so the government, owing to
its love for these Indians, viii add to
their wealth BY providing them the
facilities for making their sheep worth
twice much as they are now.
OF course, the farmers of Shawnee
county and other parts Of Kansas would
like to have thorough bred rams to i'm
prove their h9cks, too; but as they are
just common tax paying American citi-
zens who haven't any more sense than
to vote the Republican. Democratic and
Populist tickets straight, they viii have
to do without They ought to be glad
that they are allowed to pay for these
rams for the Navajo Indians. Besides
they are all opposed to paternalism in
every sense and it would be too bad to
force paternalistic sheep on them. The
Navajoes have no such scruples.
II the Navajoes are not furnished a
market for their blankets and rams to
improve their hocks, they viii break
loose aud raid the neighboring white
settlements and kill lot of people. This

WEALTH IN HER HAIR.
A Young Lady Who Stole GOlddust
and Diamonds.

"a young lady employed by a gold
and silversmith in New York has only
her good looks to thank for the fact that
she was allowed to resign without being
prosecuted for theft" remarked Henry
S Fleetwood of Brooklyn, as he sam
pied a st. Louis made perfecto in the
corridor Of the Southern hotel last night
to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat reporter.
She has an extraordinary fine head of
hair, which she allows to hang loosely
over her shoulders and nearly down to
her waist. From time to time IL was
noticed that the gold used in the room
in which she worked did not go as far
as it ought in making jewelry and gem
settings, and that even allowing for the
filings, which are most carefully pre-
served, there was a distinct leakage.
Steps were taken to subject the en-
ployes to a more rigid search, but no
discovery was made until the young lady
with the long hair quarreled with her
roommate over a love affair, and in a
fit Of jealousy her rival gave away the
most interesting story. The young lady
had kept her hair well creased, and then
while at work would pass her fingers
through it casually, as though il were a
mere matter of habit.
by the process she accumulated a
good deal of gold dust in her hair and
sometimes dropped some diamond chips
as well Every night she combed out her
locks with the smallest of tooth combs,
carefully collected the peculiarly pur-
Joined treasure trove and sold it without
any difficulty. She broke down completes
" when taxed with the offense. made
restitution as far as she was able, and
her tears and promises were so prcfuse
that she was then allowed to depart in

her obtaining further employment in the
business, in which she was an expert"
