The finances of the city were in such con dition through mismanagement that one year the school board was obliged to close all the schools, and Mrs. Flower was given the use of the high school building and allowed to charge tuition.
 In 1868 she married Mir Flower, who was practicing law at that time in Mad ison, They moved to Chicago in 1873 and Mrs Flower has been active in her chosen line of work ever since, having served several terms on the board of education. She is especially interested in the education of poor children, and by her work for the state school for poor children of Protestant parents for whom no provision wns made, was instrumental in founding the Glenwood school. She is an earnest advocate of manual training and wants it adopted in the grammar grades, thereby giving the poor practical education that may be of service to them in earning their living. She has been on the board of managers of the home for the friend less ever since she has lived in Chicago, and is the manager of the Geneva Lak sanitarium, and, with the exception uf Mrs. c, B, Lawrence, who has divided the honors with her, has been the only president of the board of directors of the Illinois training school for nurses since it was established

The flames soaked up the little frame house cruel ly, and shortly after the blaze started only charred and smoking mass re- mained.
 Ire fire had broken ont quite early in the night, no one could tell exactly how or where. The first notification the sleeping family received came from the loud and furious barking of the house dog.

Congressman w. S, Holman leaned hack in his chair few evenings ago aud began to relate Indian stories. They were not the blood-curdling sort one finds in the yellow-covcred series, but piain, everyday incidents illustra. tive of the Indians character The present chairman brought ripe exc ricnoc with him to the mead of the In. dian affairs committee. He gained it from several years of careful study of ,he Indian character. writes the Wash> ,ngton correspondent of tho lndianapo- lis News A few years ago the Indiana representative and pioneer economist ted congressional Investigating com nttee through the lndinn country

 "The Indian doesu't yield readily to the reclining touch of civilization" said Nr, Holman, collectively, "The white man and his institutions are us much of
 mystery to him to-day as when his euotc ancestors fed in open-eyed ter TOT before the approach of Columbus white sails An illustration of this Is afforded in the distrust which the Tn- iians have for the Indian schools. Left tc their own inclinations, not one In- dian parent in hundred would place their children in an institution of learn ing Those who do seem to live in con stant fear that some harm will hefall their children, or perhaps 1t Is the in- born savage nature which revolts at an alienation from his primitive habits and customs.
