This new condition of agriculture exists in that portion of the state oc- cupied by the eastern Oregon Indians Nominally these tribes have aban- doned their tribal relations, and their members have taken lands in sever atty, but instead of occupying their farms, they rent them to whites, who pay a rental of from $l.50 to $3 per acre.

THE INDIAN AS A LANDLORD

It is late day in the history of the Indian for him to take up the role of landlord, but he seems to have done so successfully in the state of Oregon.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1899-07-21

The crop raised is almost invariably wheat. and when that grain sells at 50 cents a bushel, the farmer makes profit of about s25 an acre from each crop, the cost of production being about s4.50 an acre. These Indian farms embrace 160 acres of land each, and as they are being carried on un- der the rental system. the white man is the one who is the most profited, but so general is the rental system that only one Indian in the three tribes eultivates his own farm.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1899-07-21

It will thus be seen that even into the new condition the Indian carries the thriftlessness which has ever marked his race, and that 1t is but question of time when the white ten ant will drive out his red landlord. These lands were allotted to the In- dians in the winter of 1S86-7, and to show how shrewd bargain the "un- tutored savage" drove with the gov ernment. it is told that he admitted into the tribes very many whites who had a slight mixture of Indian blood in their veins, upon the payment of an initiation fee varying from s5 to $500, as the chief saw fit to impose. The fee being paid. the chief saw that none were sighted when it came to division of their lands, and about thirty-fve white meu took their share of Indian lands.

Speaking of Joe Goddard : retirement
from the prize ring, sporting man
says: Goddard represents the old type
of slugger In all his defeats he has
been knocked out but once, and that
was when Ed Smith Of Denver knocked
him unconscious after 8 rounds OF
fighting at New Orleans. The Barrier
champion was at that time considered
proof against a knockout blow and, in
fact, was willing to wager that he could
put his hands to his sides and allow the
hardest hitters that could be produced
to strike him on the jaw. Neither Sui
Ivan nor Fitzsimmons could be induced
to take chances on losing their money
with trial of this kind, and so old Joe
went along in his own way, fighting all
sorts of men in this country and Aus
tralia. In his losing fights with Van
Buskirk, Sharkey, Maher and Rubin
he has been whipped because his vital
ity could not withstand the onslaughts
of his opponents, and he sank exhaust

The Test of Perseverance.

Many girls are employed at the West
ern Union Telegraph company's main
office in filing dispatches and other
work requiring no great skill. Now,
although they get only the current
wages Of workers in such employments,
there are always many applicants for
every vacancy In view of this fact the
company has adopted an interesting
method of dealing with applications.
Every girl applying Is questioned as to
her age, education and residence Fur
thermore, her height is taken. The facts
as TO the applicant are then filed for flu
ture reference, and she is advised in
case she is really anxious for a place to
return at the end of four months should
she not hear from the company before
that time. The reason for this advice
is that the list of applications is de-
stroyed every four months
Many applicants never come a second
time Some, however, come second, "a
third or even fourth time, and, al
though the officers of the company hold
out no special hope to any applicant,
they do say that here. as elsewhere,
perseverance often succeeds The re-
quirement that the applicant shall APP
pear in person each time is an ingen-
ious means of wedding out those appli-
cants that lack the perseverance which,
other things being equal is likely to
make girl more useful TO the com
pany than girl with less of that quail
ity.-New York Sun.

Lnnrunge study.

Broadly speaking, there are two
methods which are used for the teach
ing of language-that ~ the mother
and that of the grammarian. The child
learns its own or mother tongue from
the mother 1t learns foreign tongue
from teacher, whose highest ambition
is TO be a grammarian Does the child
learn better from the mother or from
the grammarian? Without doubt, from
the mother, according to the mother
method
If this Is So must we use the exam
pie of the mother or of the grammarian
when we are to begin the teaching of
foreign language Is there any reason
why foreign tongue should be other
wise taught than the mother tongueg Is
it not at least worth the trouble to try
the method of the mother, when it is
every day demonstrated that pupils who
have had five, six seven years of teach
ing are unable, on leaving school, so
much as to understand when the Ian
guage they have been studying is used
in conversation &C Charlotte Taylor in

"Clark Griffith, the star pitcher OF
the Chicago Baseball club, " says a cor
respondent. sis practicing n new curve
1t is an amplifcation Of his celebrated
slow ball, with which he has in times
past puzzled so many hatsmen. The
principle of Griffith latest twist is the
same as the draw shot in billiards. You
simply English the ball with your hand
instead of with the cue that is the only
difference, he said in explaining his
most recent trick. That is, the ball be-
fore it leaves my hand is set to spinning
in direction toward my body All the
time tits going through the air toward
the batter it has this rotary motion as
well as that Of direction. 1t is believed
that the air in the case of a curve Of
this kind acts like the cushion of bill
lard table and accentuates the tendency
to return, which underlies the forward
motion of he baseball BE that as il
may, the result is astonishing. A ball
that starts out with great velocity from
Griffith hand in this experiment, as ii
gets to the batter suddenly slows up to
a speed not more than one-half as great
as that at which it was launched The
effect on the batter. who is expecting
swift ball, can readily be imagined. He
strikes at the leather globe before it
reaches him. and the chance that ne
hits it is reduced to minimum.

Expensive Luxuries.

Commenting on the action Of the Chi

these expensive Injuries, the football
