Within 100 Years.

The total Indian population at this
time, according to estimates made by
the officials of the Indian Bureau, is
24S, 253, exclusive of the Indians Of
Alaska. In 1929, before the annexation
of Texas and Mexico, the estimated
Indian population of the country was
100000. In 1855 the number was said
to be 1000 and the same estimate is
made for 1871. The most rapid decline
in numbers has been in the last quarter
of a century. The fact that the Chero-
KEGS and Chippewas, both comparatively
powerful tribes, have actually increas-
ed in numbers makes the decrease in
the other tribes all the more remarka-
BILE.
1t is believed that the principal loss
has been among the Sioux and other
tribes of the Northwest. More than two
thirds of the total number, or 237, ATS.
in 1871 were on the reservations. Al
the beginning of 1895 the number on
the reservations had been decreased to
1873, AT, or about one third of the total
number. Less than 10000 of these are
self-supporting, the Federal Government
issuing supplies to most Of them. II
the rate of decrease which has been
maintained for the last quarter of n
century or so be continued there will
not be a single full-blooded Indian in
the country, except possibly in dime
museums, by the end of the twentieth
century.

The children of the slums do not al

GENERAL MILES.
His Encounter with Picket in Which
He Was WOrsted.

His Encounter with Picket in Which
He Was Worsted.
An amusing incident of the civil war
was recently told at veterans re-
union. During the siege of Petersburg
a section Of the Weldon Railway was a
picket line for the Union forces.
One day General Miles, who had re-
ceived not long before his commission
as brigadier general of volunteers, Wis
tied on exposed quarter of the line near
Greensville and noticed grim sentinel
on duty. Riding up to the picket Gen
eral Miles pointed toward Greenville
and said:
81 wish to see General Kautz. Go
down to his headquarters and tell him
to come up here
The GRAND was not a pleasant one.
The enemy We're behind the exposed
railway and the messenger would be a
conspicuous target for bullets.
II am on duty here" said the picket,
quietly.
'That is all right" said General
Miles, with a smile. Il know that you
are on duty here, but l want you to go
to General Kautz and tell him that
want to see him at once"
Il have been ordered on picket duty"
said the soldier, with logged persist
ence, "and I must remain here until |
am relieved"
''Very good" said the General; 81 I'M
derstand the matter, but I want to see
General Kautz at once'
Cali right" answered the picket. "If
you want to see Kautz more than I
do, why don't you go down and look
him up?"
General Miles rode away in great
| anger and sent word to General Kautz
that the picket had been very insolent,
and ought to be severely disciplined.
The next day at guardmounting Gen
eral Kautz sent for the picket, and
asked him to repeat what he had said
to General Miles.
II told him that I was on duty, and
must remain until somebody in author
ity relieved me-"
did General Miles relieve your
"No; he told me to go down the rail
way towards Greensville but he didn't
relieve me-"
"Well, did you defy him?"
"No, indeed" said the picket. II
| merely told him that if he wanted to see
Kautz more than 1 did he would better
go down himself and look you up
That's all right" said Gen. Kautz,
apparently well pleased that the picket
| had saved him an uncomfortable ride.
eff had been there, would have told
| him to go to Halifax. It's all right,
anyway"
! The sentry, instead of being sent to
| the guardhouse for INSTRUMENTATION in
| having impudently refused to obey an
order from his superior, was compli-
mented upon his discretion in waiting
| to be relieved from his first detail.
| The veterans who heard this story
were disposed to think that the sentry
was technically correct If General
Miles had formally relieved him from
picket duty, there would have been no
pretext for disobedience of direct Or

IN THE PARKS.

the happy equanimity Of childhood. Yet
children of every grade in life have
their troubles and sorrows, and these
are just as serious for them as graver
matters are for their elders. It is easy
for older people to preach to children
and tell them that the days of youth are
the pleasantest, the happiest they will
ever see, but the children themselves
do not believe the statement, for every
day they have practical and positive
evidence of it's untruthfulness. A man
regards the troubles Of a boy as OF
small consequence, and to him they are;
but to the boy his cares are just as
hard to. bear, perhaps harder, than the
business difficulties and reverses he will
encounter twenty or thirty years later.
A woman lightly treats the sorrow Of
her little girl over broken doll, but
the grief is none the less sincere, for
all these things are merely compare
tive: one man, who is weak, will find ten
pounds as much of burden as 100 will
be to another who is gifted in the mat
ter of bone and muscle, and so the trou-
BILE Of a boy who has lost his knife may
be as hard to bear, for him, as the trou-
BILE of a man who has lost 81 900; the
modification Of the boy who has been
turned down. in his spelling class is
as keen as that he will experience later
in life when, in another sense of the
word, he is turned down" in pursuit
of an office.
The child. life of a great city is seen
in it's perfection in three places-the
kindergarten, the park and the street.
The kindergarten is really the chill
dren's paradise, and in it's limits may
be witnessed every day as much happi-
ness as can be crowded into youthful
life. Under no restraint but that Of
kindness, the children are practically
as free as in their own homes, while at
the same time they are receiving most
valuable training The eye, the hand.
the attention, the memory, the judg-
ment, all move forward together in the
course of the education that is given
there, and all educational effort comes

ruption; the boys play hide and seek,
the girls play king William" and as
the plaintive little melody rises on the
evening air, it recalls to the mind Of
many passer-by the scenes and COM
panions of other years. It is mistake
to suppose that money or station, OF any
other like distinction, gives pleasure to
children, for to them money represents
nothing; rank and social position are
only names. When they are old enough
to appreciate the fact that money
means candy and popcorn and seat
IN the gallery, then the scuff1e for
money begins, to end no more; when
