A SIMPLE STORY
OF AN INDIAN
HIS FOLLY IN GROWING WISE
Danger Of a Little Learning Illus
traled by a Tale Told to an
AStOrian Reporter.

On the siletz Indian agency. located
near Yaquina bay. are gathered the
remnants II three or four Loast tribes
These Indians are inferior as a rule
TO those Of the interior. but there are
occasionally pleasing exceptions.
When a new agent, whose name
might be Linton, took charge a few
years ago, following change Of ad-
ministration in the national govern
ment. he followed the advice Of his
predecessor and retained in the office
an Indian boy who had developed a
surprising aptitude for bookkeeping.
His school experience was confined TO
a few brief terms under the agency
teacher yet his words were well chOs-
en- and his grammar good. He seemed
to he a born accountant.
The new agent had one fault that
often interfered with his purely per-
sonaI material interests. He was con-
scientiOus. Thus it was that he was
aware Of an uncomfortable sensation
as he watched Joe Dare Himbly fg
urlng at his desk, and the nore expert
Joe grew, the more uneasy Mr.. Lin-
ton felt.
One day while glancing rather care
lrssly through a bible (for even In
dian agents sometimes read the good
book) his eyes fell on the printed
question, Am l my brothers Keeper"
4 prrverb says, "a word to the wise Is
sufficient" and Mr.. Linton made
resolution that would deprive him Of
a valuable help and quiet the inner
moral prompter Joe must have every
educational advantage that this be-
nign government Of ours affords to
.ts dusky wards.
So of to the Chemawa school went
Joe. but his mental activity 80 i'm
pressed the superintendent that in a
few months arrangements were made
for young Dare to take course at
Carlisle and east he went.
Mr.. Linton heard from him occa-
slonally through letters from Joe him
self and sometimes a professor would
write. From the latter he learned
that Joe was leader in his studies
and a favorite in the football field.
As time passed on young Dare's let
ters began to wear tinge Of melon
choly. They grew shorter and fewer
until they ceased altogether.
Three years after Dare's departure,
Mr.. Linton received a letter from
Carlisle that startled and grieved him.

cago have not attempted 10 do any
business since my arrival, having given
all my time to the Shamrock. You may
not believe it, but have more than 300
unopened letters which simply had to
wait until these races were over.
II have nothing to say concerning
the result Of the race, except that my
boat was not fast enough, and that she
was fairly and squarely beaten. The
Columbia is wonderful yacht, and I
have been more than fairly treated BY
my competitors"
Sir Thomas was very much impressed
by the cordial manner in which he was
received on board the Corsair yesterday
by Commodore ]. PierpOnt Morgan and
by NJ, Iselin and his party, who had
sailed on the Columbia.
They are a fine set Of men and true
sportsmen,' added Sir Thomas.

SHAMROCK II ERIE BASIN

NEW YORK, Oct. 2l.-The Shamrock
now lies off the Statue of Liberty In
the upper bay, ready to go into Erie
basin tomorrow, there to be stripped
and receive her jury rig for her trip
back to Glasgow, IN about a week
hence. The victorious Columbia was
towed to New Rochelle, there to be
stripped and laid up in the near fu-
ture.
NJ victorious yacht ever received
such demonstration as did the Col
umbia and her consort as she passed
up the harbor. Every steamer that had
steam, every vessel that had flag, sa-
luted her.

being fought strictly on Boer and an
ti-Boer lines. The liberal candidate
Harold Spencer. declares that the wal
vas brought about as much by the
blundering OF the secretary OF STATE
for the colonies, Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlaiu, as by the Obstinacy Of the
Trahsvaal government. On the other
hand. the conservative candidate.
William Guthrie, asserts tha; the
scandalous arrogance Of the Beers was
alone responsible for the hostiliues.
Both join in a wish that victory may
attend the British arms, but this does
not deter the electors from creating
a little war Of their own.
One OF the most curious features OF
the mobilization has been the inoc-
culating Of the troops against faver
This was not made compulsory. but
the company commanders were in
strucied to urge the men to allow
themselves to be inOcculated and most
Of them have undergone the ordeal.
Although medical men differ great

military experts. Should 1t turn out
to be remarkably small. ii Is more
than likely that all the European
troops will be inocculated before going
to countries infested by the enteric
fever germs.
The war Office continues TO receive
offers for volunteers service from all
parts Of the country. Colonel Sir
Charles Edward Howard Vincent has
repeated his proposal to
raise a thousand marksmen for SER
wee in South Africa at his own ex-
Dense. Colonel Vincent is to command
m" Of the Queens Westminster vol
INT -ers, one Of the crack regiments,
and ever since his offer was first pub
lshed he has been inundated with re-
quests from those anxious to serve.
Many OF the applicants are Of good
social position, including several cler-
;ymen. They hail from points as far
apart as Bombay. Halifax and san
Francisco. A Canadian offered Colonel
Vincent to BEAR the entire expense OF
40 men throughout the campaign.
One Of the problems left entirely to
