NUDE TWENTY YEARS.
AWFUL Penance self-Infiicted by q
Ute Indian Who Killed His
Mother.

H. P. Myton, United States Indian
agent at White Rocks, Utah, has
among the Ute Indians on his reserva-
ton man who for 20 years has done
awful pcnance to atone for the acci-
dental killing of his mother, but who,
in spite of what he has passed through,
thinks that he has not yet suffered suf-
fcicntly for his transgression.
The killing was entirely accidental,
and the tribe held the Indian blame
less and did not punish him. His con-
science. however, was his accuser, and
II held him up as a criminal.
When his first burst of grief was
over he imposed a harsh sentence upon
himself. lie made solemn VOW that
for the rest Of his life he would not wear
clothing or enter a house, tepee, or
other dwelling.
For more than 20 years the redskin
has kept his word. He sleeps in the
open air. with n piece Of old blanket
about three feet square hung over him
on some sticks. He is entirely nude.
Mr.. Myton says the Indian lies on the
ground through the winter, even when
the thermometer goes as low as 40 de-
grees below zero.

NORTH CAROLINA FOR NORTH CAROLYN
IANS.

''Thc Lives of Distinguished North
Carolnians,' has been adopted as a text
book in the higher classes of the State
Normal and Industrial College at
Greensboro.
The book was designed for reading
people in and out of college, but DR..
McIver is the first TO see it might be uti-
lied and adopted as text book in his
great institution. 1t is notorious fact
that justice has never been done North
Carolina in history. She has not even
done Justice to herself and has suffered
often as much in the pages of Southern
history as from the special pleadings of
the North.
If the teachers and future mothers Of
North Carolinians have their attention
once fully aroused to injustice that has
been done their State, this wrong will
be already half righted.
We must write and teach our own his
tories as well as develop our own re-
sources.

A CIGARETTE STORY.
(Southern Tobacco Journal.)

current cigarette story, which is
now going the rounds of the daily pa
ners. describes the favorite amusement
of American club men in the city of
Mexico as teaching the insidious habit
TO the bloodsucking vampires that
aboud in that region.
The bloodsucking vampires are not,
ne might at first thought be supposed,
promoters of trusts, but a species of Il
hinge bat. These bats, the story relates,
hy in at the open windows of the club
rooms ut night, and the club men catch
them by throwing blankets over them.
When the vampire is caught, one of
the men lights a cigarette, opens the
creatures mouth and thrusts i'll the UNI
lioted end. The mouth ut once contracts
and seizes the cigarette firmly and then
the vampire is released.
Every time the creature breathes 1t
draws in the smoke, and then eXhales 1t
nc il flies about the room. The story
saws that the smoking vampire presents
a strange appearance, but the writer,
evidently fearing that he may lose, an
opportunity of pointing a moral and
adjoining a tale, adds: THE smoke gen
orally kills the bat before the cigarette
is smoked up

NO FOREIGN ALLIANCE WANTED,

THE COMMUNICATIONS held mani
moth mass meeting at Detroit and pro-
tested against the alliance between this
country and Great Britain. They do
well to do so. The alliance was suggest
ed by England i'm order to secure an ally
and abettor in stealing land in the East.
COlonialism and militariSm are parts OF
the fixed policy of England. 1t is con-
trary to the genius of the Republic.
The policy of this country should nc
that, mapped out by Washington OF
friendly relations with all foreign powers
hut entangling alliances with none. The
recent pretense of friendship shown by
England has the same basis that the cat
had for the monkey who was wanted to
pull the chestnuts out of the fire. We
want none of it.
The United States has managed to get
along an hundred years without having
an alliance with any foreign country.
1t can manage to go it alone better than
to join hands with England in stealing
the land and possessions of those coun-
tries not strong enough to oppose our
new and nn-American policy of criminal
aggression"
