THE ANCIENT YAQUI

General Porflrio Diaz, the polite pres
i6ent Of Mexico, has added one more
triumph to his distinguished career as
a statesman. There has resided in the
state of Sonora from time immemorial
the powerful tribe of Yaqui Indians.
These Indians are Of the semi-civilized
type of their race, are industrious, en-
terprising, numerous. and exceedingly
warlike. They have always claimed
sovereignty over the ancestral territory
Of the tribe in the Yaqui valley. This
claim has from time to time given rise
to armed conflicts between the federal
troops of the republic and the Yaqui
warriors. In these reprisals the Indians
have always been able to maintain their
ground against the forces of the gov
ernment.
Up to this time the policy Of the gov
ernment had been to compel the un-
conditional surrender Of the tribe and
the enforced acceptance of such terms
Of peace as the government should
choose to grant. But the enlightened
policy Of Diaz has taken a broader
view of the situation. Taking advantage
of some slight reverses in the fortunes
of the Indians in the recent campaign
by the government against them. he
had the address to gain their confidence
to the extent of securing a treaty of
peace and allegiance. and the cession to
the state of all the disputed territory
outside Of that which the Indians shall
hold in severalty. By this arrangement
one of the most serious of the internal
settled and great domain thrown open
to settlement.

The work of the state legislature has
been very freely criticised because SO
many of the bills passed fail to stand
the test of constitutionality; in other
words, because so many of them are
declared unconstitutional. The Mem
phis Commercial Appeal. however,
makes an important distinction when it
declares that mo law drafted by the
tax-eater has ever been declared un-
constitutional" This is worth thinking
upon. If the line of constitutionalityl
is to be drawn at measures that do not
drain the public funds it will be neces-
sary for the people to call for new deal.

EyerY TEACHER or Scholar

In tho public schools Of the United States,
Is years Of age and over, should have copy
Of the Northern Paclfic's new and beauti-
fully illustrated book, Wonderland '97. 1t
10 especially adapted for use in the public
schools in the study OF geography and his
tory, and as an aid in the study of the North
west and its varied and vast resources.
The book has large amount OF valuable
data, but is not by any means acompeDdium
OF dry statistics. The beautiful Lake Park
Region of Mimi; the Red River Valley of
the North, the remarkable wheat land Of
tho country, and Pyramid Park, where hun
dreds OF thousands of cattle are raised, are
described. Yellowstone Park and its won
derful canyons and lakes, waterfalls and
geysers has long chapter gwen to it. A
chapter on several Of the richest mining
districts of the Northwest, telling how they
were discovered and developed, will be an
interesting one to everybody. Some Of
these discoveries were made in very funny
ways. Four great snow mountains, old
volcanoes, on the North Pacific coast have a
chapter devoted to them which gives much
of their history. A new mountain range,
one almost unknown, in the northwest cor
ner Of the United States, is brough: to the
readers attention. It is q glorious region,
with deep, beautiful lakes, fall Of new va
rieties of trout, made famous by a rear ad-
miral of the U. s. navy. Alaska also has a
place in it's pages. The booklet has a hand
some cover and is beautifully and profusely
illustrated. Any teacher or scholar can
have copy by sending six cents in postage
stamps to Chas. S. Fee, General Passenger
Agent st. Paul, MINI.

MADE IT A MILK STEW.

The Csnnibal Chief Grstifled the Last
Wish Of His Fair Victim.
She was fair to look upon. Waves of
chestnut hair swept over her blanched
face like breakers over e!istening sands
under summer sun. Her bejewcled
fingers were clasped in duplication and
her brown eyes were flied with tear..
The cannibal chief gazed down upon
her. The gloating of thirst for human
gore sent the warm blood riotinG
through his evil face. He drew his
knotted war club and sent it swinging
in concentric circles around his fuzzy,
wool-tossed head.
monsieur will not spare me?" asked
the fair music hall singer, once tiae
beautiful idol of Paris.
She had charmed men by her magic
sway and as she spoke the rugged fea-
lures of the swart ehieftain relaxed.
4 kindly light came into his albumenous
eyes.
"Ah, you pitee," sighed the maiden.
"Spare me life, monsieur"
Amoslalsidecus, leader of the can3i-
balls, faltered.
A rattle of stewpans Allied his ears and
fork and knife rang against delftware
plates with portentous sound. His fol-
lowers clamored for human stew and
would not be gainsaid.
Impossible" he said, and swung the
great war club high in the air.
''Then, monsieur" sighed the maiden,
II make but un last--vhat you call
heem? -un request before die"
'Woman," made answer the lord OF
the cannibals, ''nams the boon you
crave and it shall be yours"

her chestnutty hair and her young soul
welled up from the limpid depths of her
tear-filled eyes.

Like those of the Jail behind it the
windows of the little meeting house
were closed, and apparently boarded up
from within. The double doors IN
front were tightly shut and decorated
in one or two places with bullet holes.
