From the Kansas City Star.

from the hahsas City Star.
IF there ever was any hope for the In
dian in an agricultural way II surely was in
the direction of raising cattle" remarked
an old government contractor yesterday 10
reporter for the Star
It's a good thing for us, though" chimed
IN the cattle buyer, who was an old-time
friend of the contractor, that the Indians
didn't develop that way
Correct you are," retorted the contrac-
tor. but it is curious after ALL The In
olans had better chance than any white
man on earth to go into the cattle business
Ihey mad big ranges guarded by govern
ment troops. Uncle Sam was buying stock
for them all the time and by this time they
should have been the 'bulllonaires' of the
country. But IL is not so; in fact there is
not tribe in the United States that has
cattle enough for its own needs"
Yes" said the buyer, they had big
herds of cow ponies; they good plains
men; herding cattle is not hard work, AMI
there are always plenty of boys about an
Indian camp to take care Of IT without
troubling the bucks or squaws. The first
work of barbarous man was the tending of
herds and fiocks. and IL would seem this
would be the first move of the Indians TO-
ward civilization, but they skip it some
how"
Look at the Crow beef herd up in Mon
tana, said the contractor. The finest,
best-guarded and watered range I'm the
country. and yet the herd. has been growing
smaller and smaller all the time. notwith-
staEding the additions made every year by
the government Then look at the five
civilized tribes in the territory. They have
fine grazing privileges, but lose the benefit
of them by leases and then lose the money
through the dishonesty of those who make
the leases.
ION the Kiowa and Commanche reserva-
tons the government allows the Indians to
sell the grass and each Indian gets about
SO year grass money. He spends this in
a hurry, and that is the end OF il. Suppose
the government took this grass money for
a year or so and bought cattle The result
would be that the Indians would sell their
grass in the shape of beef. which is far more
profitable. 1t is the same way everywhere
you go. The government has assisted the
Indian to dispose of his birthright until
the Indian does not recognize it when he
meets it in the road. The Indians are
colossal failures as cattle men"

SALA'S LAST ARTICLE.
How He Wrote His bed Rooms On

Mrs. Sala In the Windsor Magazine
There are sases learned in things yehicu-
lar who maintain that the machine which
We call a coach was in the origin only
bedchamber on wheels, inasmuch that
the Emperor Charles V, being woefully
troubled with the govt, was accustomed
to travel in a Hungarian gutsche, long
low chariot in which he could lie at full
length and sleep off the pangs engendered
by his inordinate repasts of Drawn, Lyons
sausages, venison pasties and picked part
ridges, washed down by potations as ex-
cessive of burgundy, Rhine wine and Flem-
ish beer. Gutsche is said TO be an obsolete
Magyar word for a bed sofa, but the
more modern dictionary makers pertiy tell
us that the word coach is derived from
the Hungarian kocs. from Kocs, the name
of a place in Hungary where the vehicle
was invented, to which pert assertion 1

Tommy Atkins and His Gr0g.

FROM the LONDON Crltlc.
Drink and the devil had done for the

and certainly both these evil influences,

poor Tommy Atkins. Wholesome liquor in
proper quantities is not amiss; but the vile
connections, raw and fiery. supplied to our
troops-often on foreign stations, where the
climate is an admirable ally-tend to SER
iously impair the stamina of the soldier.
Jersey is, at present a great sinner in this
respect, for 1 understand the regiment
stationed at ST. Heliers has unrivaled facil-
tiles to obtain what Is known locally as
white Spirit"-an abominaDle diSriiation

for one shilling.
