Indian School.

Soon after the %convenlng OF congress
Mr.. Gamble OF this state introduced a
bill for the establishment of an Indian
school at Rapid City. 1t will be remem-
bered that two years ago a similar bill
past both houses and became u law but
left it discretionary with the commits
sioner OF the Indian bureau and that
gentleman refused to establish the school
for the reason that in his opinion all
such schools schould be on the reserva-
ton. There is no point in the estate bet
ter located for a school than this we be-
lieve that it will be established sooner or
later.

a MYSTERIOUS E A

It Was . Worm Hole In the Keel Of the
Sailboat.
There was a man had a Connecticut
river boat built, which cost him $235.
and she was a beauty. She could 20
quite nicely and the man was pleased
with her till he found she leaked. "Oh,
WE'LL" said he, that's easily remedied.'
So he looked her all over for the leak.
He couldn't find a crevice. He filled
up several places that he thought might
have let in a little water, but it didn't
do the least bit of good. He gave it up
finally and sold the boat for $35, and
thought he had the best of it at that.
The fellow who bought the craft,
Says the New York Herald, knew she
was a fast sailor and he had an idea
that he vas smart enough to find that
leak, but it wasn't long before he began
to think maybe he wasn't such a sue
cess as he might be-. She leaked just
the same regular amount all the time.
One Sunday he made up his mind he
would find that hole if he never came
back. He took her out and, after she
had shown that she was in good leak
ing form, he beached her. After the
tide went down he went all around her,
listening as a doctor listens for lung
troub:e. Ee heard a sucking noise
about her keel. He got down on the
under side and in the timber of tue
keel was a worm hole in the wood. 1t
had been there when the beam was

inside would be something like hunt
ing a needle in a haystack. He stuck
a match in the hole to see how big it
was. 1t just fitted. The match broke
Off and he let it go at that. She has
never leaked a drop from that day to

No cleanup has yet been made, but
what has been taken from tho plates
clearly shows that the ore is richer than
that taken from the upper levels. The
ore on this run averages between $35
and $40. As a free milling proposition
the Slipper mine takes the lead not only
IN the southern, but of the Northern
Hills, with regard to the high grade ore.

ore that,had been thrown aside as waste
were shipped to one OF our local works
for treatment. The owners were
agreeably surprised yesterday on receipt
OF returns showing that the stuff was

taken from the face of the workings q

$lO4 gold per ton. 1t was not a picked

Ynwn Wa. Quickly Infectious.

One sees many things on the ele-

and sad An entertaining incident
came under the writer's notice a few
days ago. His neighbors were evident
ly well-to-do brokers, and one bet the
other level So that he would have
half the car yawning in five minutes.
The bet was taken. The bettor yawned
his best, stretched out his arms, dis
arranging the glasses from the nose
of his opponent. and then fell back
wcarily into his seat. Almost the next
to ynwn was the man VINO had taken
up the bet. and those in the opposite
seats took up the chorus. Men and
women in the cross seats threw the
yawn back ut one another, and, save
for IL baby in arms. every one had
yawned in less than one-tifth of the
time stipulated. The two men got off
ut Fifty-eighth street and Sixth ave-
nue., laughing heartily ut the eXperi-
ment. They were seen later entering
the cafe entrance of the Plaza hotel.

NAMING JAPANESE CHILDREN.
There Are Three Methods, TWO of
Them Religious.

The Slinto belief is the Oldest of
the Japanese religions. antcdating per-
haps the Christian religion, and hav-
ing been obscured by Buddhism for
quite II number of centuries. has been
revived. The method of mining chill
dren. it seems. is quite Il curious one.
there being three ways in use by the
followers of Shinto, the Way of the
Gods
One. the most obvious and the least
devout. is for the father to name the
child himself. The next in an ascend
ing scale of piety is for the father to
select several suitable names. and
then submit the choice among them
to the god. Tie way the god shows
his choice is rs follows: The father
brings the child to the temple. and
, with him slips of paper inscribed with
possible names. Three OF five is the
( usual number. The priest rolls Them
up separately. puts them into u bowl,
/ and after due incarnation angles for
/ them With a gohoi rlun Il wand. ('i'ie
I gohci is the long zigzag of Miiei
/ which is so important in ceremonies
( of IL religious liailrc.l
/ Whichever the gOllcl fishes ont 1lrSi
4 is the god-givcii name The child is to
bear; Il convenient custom when the
father is in doubt between the far
eastern equivalents of Tom. Dick oi
Harry. This is Il ceremony whicl
place when ihc infant is Il week old
III is not to he contoundcd with Tho
miya mairi. which takes place II month
after birth. and is lot CIR chlistcnin:
ut all. but akin to the llebraic pre-
scn,ation at the temple. For nj ll'
Miya mnir the child. named som,
weeks before. is presented To its guard
ian god and formally put under Iii
protection.
This third method of getting n nam'
for the child is through one of til
possessions of frances which are s.
common in the religious ceremonies u
these people. The priest goes into hi
trance. and his assistant asks him. o
rather the god through him. what i
the proper name, and the god make
reply.
This method of christening one
child is rcputed the NEST holy of til
three. and is duly practiccd by tn
ultra devout. OF the population g
