Tho Word OF IN Indian.
While Indian Commissioners Pray

Express Compani:s and R:y:uu: Tax.

An interesting statement is made
public which it is claimed by the ex-
press companies explains why they
cannot afford to pay the tax imposed
on express packages by the new war
revenue law. The statement shows
that the capital invested in railroads
and express companies is as follows:
Capital and bonded indebted
ness of all railroads in the
United States..,....,. .....SlO,S0O,UUO,OO
Capital stock of express com
panies in the United States, 55,OOO,OOO
Express capital stock amounts to
only one-half of one per cent. OF the
capital stock and bonded indebted
ness of the railroad companies. Ad-
ding the unfunded and current in
debtedness, the capital invested IN
railroads would make an aggregate
of S11,575,O 00, 900, to which 1T
would be related to express capital
as 996.1O is to 40. But it was
proved in debatein the United States
Senate that the total number OF busl-
ness transactions by the express
companies mot over ten companies
all told approximates the total
number of transactions by all the
railroad companies together-more
than 1000 in number. The state
ment in behalf of the express cOmpa-
MES puts the case this way: "a bill
of lading for a train load of hard
ware from Pittsburg to San Fran
cisco, or a train load of grain from
Chicago to New York, valued a
thousand of dollars, requires only a
o~ne-cent stamp, yet a package valued
at 81, going from Boston to Brook
line, with charges of twenty-five cents,
requires the same-aone-cen stamp"
Hence it is claimed that a tax which
is not burdensome to railroads if
paid by express companies would
border on c~OnfscatiOn.

A Singular Case.

A peculiar case was tried at Dixon re-
Gently before Judge Givens, says the Mad
isonville Ky } Hustler Rev. Jesse White
is pastor of what is known as the Chaly-
beate church, in Webster county. One of
the rules of the church was that the wom-
en- should occupy one side of the house and
the men the other A transgression of
this rule is what caused the trouble.
A young man by the name of Crook,
from Henderson county,, was in the neigh
borhood and took his sweetheart to church
one night and sat down by her, as he had
been accustomed to do at home. Rev. MIR.
White called attention to the rule of the
church, requiring him to move to the
mems side. Crook refused, saying he had
come with the lady, and he didn't know
of any law he was violating when he sat
by her side. Rev. Mr. White called on
some of the elders to arrest Crook. During
this time quite a commotion arose.
Finally Crook agreed, rather than be
the cause of SO much disturbance, to move
over on the mems side. Rev. Mr.. White
informed him it was too late, and ordered
the elder to arrest him. The elder proceed
ed to do so, and a disturbance resulted
The whole business was brought into
court, and Rev Mr.. White pleaded his
own case before the jury. The jury came
to the conclusion that Rev. Mr.. White was
the principal cause of the disturbance and
assessed a fine of 500 upon him. 1t is
about the first case we ever heard of where
a preacher was fined for disturbing his
own worship.

Is this not a case in which the magma
ton may be fairly invoked in aid of
sciencep May we not from these data at
tempt in some degree to build up and re-
construct the early history of the human
family? There, in eastern Asia, in a trop.
ical climate, with the means of subsistence
readily at hand, may we not picture to
ourselves our earliest ancestors gradually
developing from a lowly origin, acquiring
a taste for hunting, if not indeed being
driven to protect themselves from the
beasts around them and evolving the more
complicated forms of tools or weapons
from the simpler flakes which had pre-
viously served them as knivesp May we
not imagine that when once the stage of
civilization denoted by these paleolithic
implements had been reached the game
for the hunter became scarcer and that his
life in consequence assumed a more nomad
characters?
Then, and possibly not till then, may a
series of migratiOns to fresh woods and
pastures new" not unnaturally have en-
sued, and these following the Usual course
of westward toward the setting sun"
might eventually lead to a paleolithic
population finding its way to the extreme
boarders of western Europe, where we find
such numerous traces of it's presence.
How long a term of years may be involved
in such a migration it is impossible to say,
but that such a migration took place the
phenomena seem to Justify US in believ-
ing.-Sir John Evans in Popular Science
Monthly.

An Earthquake Warns a Spring

And now another phenomenon can be
attributed to the earthquake of last No
vember, which shook things so generally
in Montana. In Helena it was reported
that a deaf mute had found speech as the
result of the earth shaking itself.
Senator Alex MetZel of Twin Bridges,
or, as he calls it, Fuller Springs, so named
from a famous hot spring on his ranch,
says that the quake increased the temper
allure of the water of the springs a dozen
degrees. The day after the earth trembled
one of the senator's sons thought he would
go out to the springs and take a bath, as
was his custom. He got into the pool, and
then he got out, for he found the water
unusually hot. A thermometer was
brought into use, and it was found that
the temperature was over 10 f. Before
the earthquake it was along in the niEe.
ties. Several tests Of the temperature tax
en- since the earthquake have shown the
same considerable increase over what ii
was before the earthquake.
II am firmly convinced that the in,
ternal troubles that resulted in the earth
quake turned on a warmer supply of wa.
ter and raised the temperature Of my
springs from 10 to 20 degrees" said Sen.
ator Metzel. "Wo have been keeping track
Of the temperature of the springs for years
1t never increased or decreased until the
change that was noted the day after the
earthquake. / was in the east ut the time,
so l cannot vouch for this part of the story,
but the boys say that besides being warm,
er the water for two days after the shock
was milky white. "-Helena Herald.

Luck In Thief Catching.

"Thief catching is as much an accident
as 1t is an art, " said an officer of the police
department recently. 81 remember an in
dead, who was once on the Louisville po-
lice force. Dryer was one of those queer
fellows for whose actions no one could &C
count. But be was a good policeman. On
this particular occasion Dwyer was stand
ing in front of an east end saloon, one of
the worst red light dens, where prizefights
were pulled off in the rear room and from
which suspicious stories were always en-
anating. Hiss helmet stood over his eyes,
and most people would have sworn he was
asleep. While he stood apparently uncon-
sciousaof everything around him o man,
heavily bearded, with a SLOUGH hat drawn
over his eyes and a valise in his hand, step
ped out. AS he passed Dryer the police
man reached out and laid his hand on the
mans shoulder.
"'What have you got in that ~valise?'
asked the officer.
"'That is none Of your business, an
swered the bearded man.
"'We will see about that, responded
Dwyer. Come to the station house with

that he had arrested Miles Ogle, the most
notorious counterfeiter in the country.
His valise contained $500 in counterfeit
bills. Ogle died some time ago in the

"Most people suffer more from their
friends than from their enemies"
some one has declared. We must
confess that many of the heartaches
and sorrows of our lives have been
caused by those who called them
selves friends. The harsh Judgment,
the unfair criticism, the confidence
revealed, the misunderstanding of
our motives, the thoughtless slight
these are the things which have cut
to the quick because they came from
those in whom our faith was strong.
Our enemies, for the most part, are
not very numerous and we know but
little about them. When we do real
ize that they are working against us
their thrusts are not so hard to bear,
oftentimes, as is a single unkind
word from one whom we really love.
Some of these misunderstanding be-
tween loved ones are inevitable,
owing to the limitations of our
natures, but many of them are the
result of thoughtIessness or of the
feeling that it is not necessary to be
particular with those of whose affec-
ton we feel sure. We fail to write or
call because we know our friend will
love us just the same. Probably she
will, but because she is a friend she
appreciates little kindnesses as no
mere acquaintance possibly can, and
she may feel the neglect although too
loyal to let us suspect it. The fact
that friendship is a responsibility
should never be forgotten.

There is a thrifty Indian girl in the
Seger school in Oklahoma who has a
surprising record for aptnesy, wit and
good sense.
When she became a pupil a few years
ago, she had no education whatever and
was apparently as nonprogressive as the
others of her race, but in n short time she
was earning money in the sewing room,
and little later took "a salaried place, such
as the government allows to industrious
learners who want to earn "pin money"
outside Of the regular study hours in the
farm, sewing room or other departments.
Out of her savings she bought a harness,
team and wagon, a bedroom set and n
sewing machine, all in view of her pro-
spoctiye marriage to a young Indian. She
saved some money, too, and did 1t all In
