are encouraged to migrate to America,

as thrifty. perhaps. as the Chinese. but
they are better spenders, and therefore do

THEY ARE ssAMERINDs" NOW.
North American Natives Were Inn
properly Named Indians
Columbus.

The lack of any thoroughly satisfac-
tory name for the aboriginal residents
of America was the subject of discus
sion few weeks ago at a meeting of the
Anthropological society of Washing
ton. Col. F. F. Hilder pointed out how
inappropriate was the word INDIAN -
which Columbus applied to the people
Of America on the suposition that the
land he found was India. Maj. J. w.
Powell, formerly of the geological sur
vey and now director of the bureau of
ethnology, said that after conference
with photographers he had been led
to recommend the use of ''Amerind" as
tia designation required. DR.. W. F.
MCGEE, president of the society, re-
marked that while the word Indian"
is firmly fixed in popular speech and
literature, scientific men were DESTROYS
of having more accurate term. mas
much as the specialists in any depart
ment of knowledge form the court Of
last resort he had no doubt as to the
ultimate adoption of the new word if
the scientists themselves accepted it.
One advantage of 'Amerind" is that
it carries with it no implication of the
origin of the people to whom it is ap-
piled. Again, it is sufficiently euphon-
ious in foreign languages as we'll as
our own, and it lends itself readily to
the formation of adjectives and adj
verbs. The word is intended to indicate
all aboriginal tribes of the American
continent and adjacent islands, includ-
ing the Eskimo. The working ethnolo-
gists of the society have unanimously
agreed to adopt "Amerind" tentatively
and to recommend its adoption by their
fellow NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

KIT CARsoN's RIFLE
The Interesting Relic Is Now the
Property OF Santa Fe
LodgerGom.

Kit Carson's rifle, which was carried
by him for more than 40 years, and
which never failed him, is now pre-
cious relic in the possession Of the
Montezuma lodge of masons at Santa
Fe, of which he was member.
AS an Indian fighter Carson was
matchless, and no one understood bet
ter than he the habits and the nature
of the savage. He told Col. Inman, of
Kansas, that he was never deceived but
once by Indian tactics. He said that
he was hunting with six others after
buffalo in the summer of 1885; that
they had been successful and came
into their little bivouac one night very
tired, intending to start for the rem
devious at Bent's fort the next morn
ing. They had a number of dogs,
among them some excellent animals.
These barked a good deal and seemed
restless and the men heard wolves.
81 saw" said Kit, 1.-TWO big wolves
sneaking about, One of them quite
close to us. Gordon, one of my men,
wanted to fire his rifle at it, but 1 did
not let him, for fear he would hit dog.
l admit that I had sort of idea that
those wolves might be Indians, but
when I noticed one of them turn short
around and heard the clashing of his
teeth as he rushed at one of the dogs,
I felt easy then and was certain that
they were wolves sure enough. But the
red devil fooled me after all, for he had
two dried buffalo bones in his hands 1n-
der the wolfskin, and he ratified them
| together every time he turned to make
dash at the dogs. Well, by and by
| we all dozed off, and it wasn't long be-
fore was suddenly aroused by noise
and a big blaze. / rushed out the first
thing for our mules and held them. If
the savages had been at all smart they
could have killed us in trice, but they
ran as soon as they fired at us. They
killed one of my men, putting five bull
lets in his body and eight in his buffalo
robe. The Indians were a band OF
Sioux on the war trail after band OF
| Snakes, and found us by sheer accident.
They endeavored to ambush US the next
| morning, but we got wind of their little
| game and killed three of them, includ-
| ing the chief"
Next to Kit Carson the most famous
scout in the southwest was Jim Baker
a native of Illinois, who was employed
for many years by the American Fur
company, who married an Indian wife
| from the Snake tribe in Idaho and en-
tered the service of the United States
| with Gen. Fremont during his first eX.
| ploring expedition. During his old age
| after one season of unusually success
full trapping, he realized the handsome
sum of $4,000 from the sale of his furs
He then determined to spend the re-
| mainder of his days in comfort. The
night before his departure from Fort
Bent he went around the. camp to bic
the boys good-by. The farewells were
accompanied by a good deal of drink
| ing, and before the evening was over
Jim Baker had taken a seat in a faro
| game, where he lost every cent of his
| money. He returned to the mountains
with his Indian wife, established lit
! tie store and spent the rest of his life
trading with the Indians and the min
ers.-Chicago Record.

It was on the night of the Jeffries-Fitz-

West side apartment house in which he
lived about two o'clock. A search of all his
pockets failed to bring forth his bunch of
keys. He rang the bell repeatedly for the
janitor, but could get no response. He was
exceedingly tired, there was no hotel in the
neighborhood, and, besides, there were fam
lily reasons why it was inadvisable for him
to spend the rest of the night away.from
home. The sight of a physicians night bell
gave him an idea. He pushed the button
