The government is doing erything
possible to stop Indian parents from
trading Off their daughters, especial
ly II the daughters are returned stu
dents from some of the Indian schools,
when they bring q better price, for
they know how to do better work. It
is impossible, however, to break up the
traffic. Polly Clement, daughter of
Little Crow, is visiting at home from
the Santee agency, Nebraska, where
she lived with Miss Douglas, field ma
tron. She learned rapidly and was
greatly benefited, but she is to stay
there and has been sold. Such cnses

Rond EtIouetto for Cyciers.

The minor or unwritten rules OF cy-
sling road etiquette have to deal more
with the social side of the sport. Should
whcelmen and women who are stran-
gers salute each other in passing, es-,
pecially when they so pass on country
roads? Does the fact that q man and
woman are cyclists allow the man to-
tender assistance to the woman If her
wheel has gone wrong in any wayP
How should men and women dress when
other questions, says Harper's Week.
ly, which are daily answering them
selves, or are being answered by the
cyclists of the country, constitute,
when solved by the larger number OF
men and women cyclists, the etiquette
of the road. Cycling is as yet toe
young a sport to have fully established
an etiquette, and there are situations
which almost daily confront the cy-
clist, experienced as he or she may be
in the refinements which govern the
intercourse of cultivated people, which
are puzzling ones to solve. 1t would be
far easier to compile the etiquette OF
the road from the negative than from
the positive standpoint, and unfor-
tunately the cycling craze affords
every day on our streets and highways
too many evidences or examples of bad
manners and inappropriate dress,
which would enable the observant man
or woman to treat the whole subject
comparatively easily under the heading
of "Don'ts." The men or women of
natural or acquired refinement, who
know how to conduct themselves in
the parlor, dining-room, and in other
departments of life, are not likely to
misbehave on the wheel; and those
who are sincerely desirous of knowing
what is the proper thing to do should
study the manners and procedure of
the most refined person of their ac-
quaintance when on the wheel.

Improbable.

Z According to the Turkish legation In
Washington, the Armenian outrages
are due to the Armcnians themselves.
The fires which consume their houses
they themselves set, running away inn
mediately after so as to throw suspicion
on the Turks. And when they return
to find that the kind-hearted Turks
have extinguished the flames they i'm
mediately set the fires over again. This
IS important il true, observes the De-
troit Free Press. 1t is likewise terrible.
No wonder the Turkish government
proposes to take efficient measures to
prevent any repetition of such outra-
geous conduct on the part of the evil
minded Armenians, though it would
be more satisfactory to know just what
hhe efficient measures are to be. 1t
rwould also be satisfaction to know
whether the Armenians are responsible
for the slaughter rs we'll as the incen-
hnrism to which they have been sub
Ijeoted. After they have burned their
homes do they also kill themselves for
the purpose of putting the Turks in the
wrong? It they do, they are certainly
very rcprehensible, though it has very
little effect on dead man to tell him so.

! A lady clearinghouse keeper of
Bridgeport, Conn, called two doctors
one morning lately, stating that she
was in TERRIBLE agony, having swal-
lowed her front teeth, plate and all.
She could feel the choking object in her
throat and was in constant danger of
strangling to death. On consultation
1T was decided to restort to tracheoto-
my, as the patient was liable to die.
The doctors got their instruments
ready and were about to administer
ether to the woman when one of them
stepped on some object under the edge
of the bed. Picking it up he found it
to be the missing plate and teeth. 1t
was shown to the woman, who was
about to go into another convulsion,
and as soon as she recognized it the
pain left her and she at once recovered.

wonderful Water.

There Is n generally accepted theory
TINT no story, however absurd, has
been written that has not it's parallel
in fact or viii not have it's parallel
In due course of time. If a story seems
founded upon imagination and writer
fatters himself that he has struck n
new lead of fiction let him beware how
he hugs the delusion, since in time he
will discover the same old features of
a twice-told tale. When q short story
the authors name is forgotten-wus
going the rounds about sculptor who
discovered n chemical secret by means
of which an animal could be trans
formed into statue through an al
most instantaneous process of petri-
fication, nobody expected that from
Oklahoma would come n verification of
the tale. Even now one feels doubt
full whether too much cretlence should
be placed in the yarn about the girl
who drank water out of the center of
geode and ut once turned into stone.
Still, it might be true-in Oklahoma
that land of easy divorces and
Munchausen happenings. II It should
be true an impetus will be given 10
geological research and the trade in
geodes will boom. When pet dog is
about to decease we can give him a
drink of geode water, turn him into
stone and decorate our front yard
with his statue at small expense. 1t
will be mournful pleasure to have the
horse we used to drive immortalized in
stone and placed upon q pedestal, anti
ancient maiden ladies will be steady
patrons of the geode market for the
preservation of cats. This discovery
may have tendency to inaugurate a
new branch of crime, as a glass of
harmless appearing water, clear and
cool, may be the means of making
statuary out of ones enemy. Should
tho geode fad become stable branch
of trade it will be well to hesitate be-
fore one drinks water that he has not
chemically analysed. This will not
affect Kentuckians, however.

could it be mobilized!'
