Red Men Visited the President

President Mckinley was the central figure

Monday, when a delegation of Ute chiefs
called to pay their respects to the Great
Father" They were led by Tim johnson, an
old-time brave, who had picked up some

inery that it interfered seriously with the
dignity of the reception. He was accom-
panied by Sauce-A- knock-It, David Cop
pertield, Happy Jack and Charlie Mack.
They all shook hands solemnly with the
president, and, as they went away, some
of the attaches called attention to the fact
that before long the White House would be
invaded by the picturesque Malays from the
China seas, and several army officers ven
tured the opinion that while the Indians
have proved themselves almost incapable of
civilization, and hence are dying out, tbs

belief was freely expressed that the new

army half as much trouble as the copper

WEST WIND AND EAST WIND

The West Wind Is the baby's wind,
The country wind that's warm and kind,
That bids the babies troop together
To taste the West Wind weather.
The West Wind blows from hills and seas
And russet woodland coppices,
Where violets purple in the bracken
Call the slow Spring to waken.
The East Wind he puts out the sun,
And hides the silver stars in dun,
And wraps the world in fouleSt feeces
OF fog and ragged dresses.
Thou, Lord, who holdest in Thy hand,
The four great winds at Thy command,
Now bid the East Wind wander mourning g
In deserts vast and burning.
But bid Thy West Wind blow again,
Thou. Lord, that rulest earth and main,
And all the little flower-sweet faces
Shine in the sunny places.
o Lord, Thou Lord of night and day,
Now give the children heart to play,
And bid Thy sweetheart Sun be risen
To let them out Of prison.

Christmas has been defined by one who
had more truth than poetry IN his soul as
a time when you spend great deal OF mon
ey that you can't afford to lose and get
great many things you would much rather
be without. The main underlying prlnclpie
of present giving consists in the selection
of an article which, either for particular or
PERSONAL reasons, is unwelcome to the reclp'
lent. or which, from the nature of the thing
itself, must inevitably be unwelcome to any
body. 1t requires some taste and judgment
to reach the first standard of undesirablity,
but the second lies within the grasp OF all.
In the hurry and press OF Christmas shop
ping, it is not always easy to remember our
friends antipathies and choose gilt which
will have the peculiar and delicate grace OF
personal inapproprlateness; git whlch
another man or woman might desire and en-
ioy. and which we know this especial VIC
tim would rather not possess. But one has
only to enter any shop and buy asrandom
to secure a cadeau which all our acquant-
ances would be equally reluctant to own.
A little counsel in this matter may assist
thoughtless people to pass from the crude
snatching of broadly undesirable articles
to a more subtle refinement Of choice. If,
for instance, our friend be no reader, nat
urally we give her book, and any book will
do. But if she does read, the problem re-
quires some consideration. Perhaps she
has expressed liking for "The Seven
Seas or Mr.. Austin Dobson's frivolous
verse, "Sordello' and RED Cotton Night
Cap Country" would then suggest them
selves at once as proper books to buy. If
Rupert of Hentzau" be her delight, we
might choose between "The Law of Psychic
Phenomena and Handbook of Primitive
Religions" Should she, on the other hand,
worship esoterically at the shrine of Mr.
George Meredith or Mr.. Walter Pater, we
had better select Mr.. Hail Gaines Chris
tan" or Madame Corelli's Sorrows of Sa
tam" A missionary's wife can have any
one of Mr.. Richard lie GalIienne's edifying
outpourings; and a college graduate, Mrs.
Burton Howard's conception of ''The Well
Bred Girl in Society" In all these cases,
prudence will dictate that the names Of the
donor and the recipient, with the date and
some sentiment appropriate to the season
be written largely over the title page. This
wiz avert all possibility of exchanging the
volume for another, or passing it on to sec
ond sufferer next year. People should be
careful not to scrawl these affectionate in
scriptions on one of the blank sheets, which
may at pinch be cut out, but on the title
page itself, which no one will audaciously
remove.
Passing from books to more varied
Christmas offerings, the best general rule
is to combine. bulk and inutilty. 1t is
often possible to secure objects of domestic
manufacture, by no means beautiful in
themselves, and whose destined employment

Dangerous Whites in the South

The solution of the race problem is to be
found in making life burden to idlSnegroes
and to whites who use them to gain political
ends. Such whites are far more dangerous
to the peace and welfare of community
than their black tools Therefore, commence
on those who use the black tools. If negroes
could get it into their heads that they are
disgraced by assocating with white men
who are satisfied with such association they
would know good deal more about solv-
ing their side of the problem.-Kansas City

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
Negroes as Officers

If the negroes at Wilmington who had
charge Of affairs had displayed any capacity
for governing or exercised any consideration
toward those who own the property and pay
the taxes, the trouble there would not have
developed as rudely as it did. 1t is true that
negro domination is intolerable to the
whites, but the affair at Wilmington would
have had different beginning if the negro
rulers had been conservative, considerate
and fair. 1t is for that reason we advise
negroes to let partisan politics alone and ad-
dress themselves to the practical work of
building up the material interests of their
