Chicago Woman's Club, Is leader
among her sex; q woman OF the lad
vanced" type; woman OF affairs; q
speaker, writer, thinker: successful
competitor with masculine opponents
for place and preIerment, this woman
is happy In all the charms Of feminin-
ity. A woman's ideal leader OF women
and yet woman In whom the loudest
declaimer against the woman's-rights
woman could find nothing at which to
cavil. Philanthropic. generous, broad
minded, yet not altogether free, posi-
bly,, from some of the weaknesses that
affect most characters, Ada G. Sweet

ONE of the most important meas
ures of the last session of Congress
was a bill, which became law. allot.
ting to some OF the Western States

its, on the condition that such lands
shall be improved by irrigation. 1t
Is estimated that there is more than
a million square miles Of land that
may be made fit for cultivation when
irrigated, but which is practically
worthless now. 1t is not likely that
the Western States will undertake
this work. 1t is far more probable
that the Federal Government will be
called to aid In providing irrigation.
Powerful Hobbies, both In State and
national capitals, will he organized
to secure the expenditure Of State or
Federal money, and after the work
Is done the lands can probably be
sold for more than enough to repay
the expense. Yet we are sure that
this Is scheme which the Federal
Government cannot entertain with

country. Free virgin soil Of the West
has been competing with the products
OF Eastern farms. How much more

General Armstrong, acting COM
missioner OF Indian affairs, says that
the annual reports received from the
various Indian agencies show that
on theswhole the Indians were rea-
sonably prosperous during the last
fiscal year. The death rate has not
been large, nor does there appear to
be any decrease in the number of
Indians in the charge Of the govern
meat. The year was one OF peace,
there having been very few, distur-
Dances or troubles usually occurring
among the the Indians. 1t is evident,
from the reports received, that the
tribal relations of the Indians are
becoming less binding. and the indi-
vidual Indians are becoming more
independent of tribe and more self
reliant. The allotting agents OF the
government have been kept busy the
past year, many Of the Indians
evincing desires to own their own
land. The Indian authorities be-
lieve that in allotting tracts of land
to individual Indians the longest
step has been made toward civiliza-
ton, and that the Indians are more
easily governed by the agents and the
bureau when each has = personal and
individual interest in his home. The
reports show that Indian education

TRUE TO THE TOUCH.
An Author Who Has Touched a Chord That Brings Ready
 Response.

In one of the tunefnl operas of the day the topical song is full of the tenderest sentiment, and the refrain is in the follow ing familiar lines: ''These words no Shakespeare wrote, these words no Byron penned, and yet they have the ring of the purest poetry" Such may be said of .'Foibles of Fancy and Rhymes of the Times,' by Dr. o. T. Dozier, and the fact that he has touched a responsive chord in the popular heart is evidenced by the flat tering notices, such as the following, that are showered upon him:
 ssThe writer has been complimented with a copy of this book of poems by the au- thor, our friend and comra0e, Orion T. Dozier, Nj. D., of tbis city. The poems have absolu merit and have contributed to our pleasure and stock of patrlotism. It will be our delight "a leave it in our library as legacy to children and children's chil- dren. Such literature will help to per- peiuate the principles for which so much precious blood was shed. Dr. Dozier is to be thanked for this elegant gift o his genius to so worthy a cause. Ihese poems will go ringing down the centures. What they may seem to lack in poetic accuracy Is thousand fold compensated in the exuoer- anee of patriotic devotion to the dear southland. The printing and binding are in hrst-ciass style.
 The book can be had of the author for Sl. We most heartily commend 1t to all old Confederate soldiers and their descendants.

GOOD BUSINESS TACT.

In Fridays AGE HERALD was printed an account of big railroad deal in which Co., Iumbus, Ga., was greatly benefited. The deal referred to was that of the consolida- tion ofthe North Highlands Electric Rail- way company and the Columbus Street Railway com pany. The deal was a very important one, and one in which great business tact was required. To the honor of Birmingham be 1t said that one of her leading banking firms, Steiner Bros., was delegated this important piece of work and their success was so great that the press of Columbus, Ga., gave forth through the Southern Associated Press the announce ment of the success of the deal and at the same time dwelt largely upon its impor- tance to Columbus. Messrs. Steiner Bros. have had many similar transactions in their keeping and have invariably brought them to A successful issue.
