Indiana in wisnnnsin

Wisconsin has at this late day o,Oa0
Indians. One-half of these speak
enough English for the purposes of
ordinary conversation, and more than
one-third read the English Language.
Practically all wear the ordinary citi-
zens' dress. They are fast learning to
recognize the legality OF marital rela-
tions. Eighty-five per cent. of them
are engaged in pursuits of civilized life;
ten per cent in hunting, fishing, root
gathering and the like; only five per
cent. live exclusively ON government
rations. OF the 1900 Oneidas, the 400
Menomonees, and the 500 Stockbridgcs
and Munsees all live on labor in civil
iyed pursuits. Many of the Oneidas
compare favorably in thrift, cleanliness
and rational life enjoyment with the
whites in their vicinity. This is the
testimony of w. II. Hailman, superin-
tendent of Indian schools. The Onei-
das, Mcnomonecs, Stockbridges and
Munsees, he says, are remarkable for
aobriety and for their growing respect
for women. They are honest in their
dealings with others, patient under
misfortune and injustice, frugal, in
dustrious, self-contained, kind to their
families, solicitous for the welfare of
their children, eager ut oil times to do
their best according to the light they
possess and the opportunities afford
er them in their environment. They
are fairly good material for citizenship,
Mr.. Hailman thinks, and he looks for
ward to the no-distant day when they
will be admitted to the franchise and
cease to he wards of the national gov
ernment.

Two Chicago Busincss Mon Who wondered

Three men were chatting together in
q Madison street cigar store. Tt was
raining outside and neither was in a
hurry to leave. One OF them was n we'll
known politician and the other two
were apparently successful business
men. A military-looking gentleman
with snowwhite hair, mustache and
chin whiskers entered, says the Chica-
go Chronicle.
Good evening" said the politician.
"a nasty night" he added.
"Who is that?" queried one of the
other two men of the politician after
the man he had addressed as colonel
had gone out.
why, don't you know him-Royal
George Davis?"
well, who is Royal George Davis,
anyway?"
George II. Davis-don'tll know George
R.?"
What did he do?"
"Why, man, he was director general
of the worlds fart"
"Ncver heard of him."
The politician looked at the man in
undisguised amazement. Come, buy
the cigars" was all he said.
And such is fame.

There is an Illinois boy who owns a
dog which he would not sell for $50, al
the animal is not worth 20 cents
from a dog fnncier's point of view.
tThe boy was out hunting, with the dog
Iat his heels, when he saw woodchuck
dodge into its hole on hillside. Leav'
ling the dog on guard, he went to the
nearest house and borrowed shovel
He had dug deep hole in the hill when
the overhanging bank gave way and
he was buried, all but his head. He
struggled in vain, and shouted for help
until he was boarse, until he thought OF
the dog. Dig, Prince!" he commanded
and the dog set to work and scratched
gravel so industriously that in Is min
utes the boy had one arm free, and was
soon out of his prison. That is why he
will not sell his dog.

II is fact so we'll known to the in
telligent portion of the community as
to be almost a truism that American
cities are most wastefully and inefii-
ciently governed in comparison with
those of the old world. There is not a
city in England, France or Germany
whose government does not command
the services of the ablest, most intel
ligent members of the community, and
whose administration is not SO far SUI
perior to that of any American city as
to make comparison appalling.
