place, and when his pursuers would
get near he would disappear and in a
second show up some place else. He
appeared to enjoy this game of hide
and seek, but was rather coy of acting
in front of the crowd. At last, by dint
of much strategy and the use of a
handful of nuts, one of the animal
keepers succeeded in corralling him on
a brakebeam, and it was all over. The
filibustering monkey was placed in the
car with the rest of his race and
chained up for safety.

uncanny sight, and 1 didn't wonder at

TALK ADO Z INDIANS
They Are Not Dying Out as Fast as
Is Generally Supposed.
How They Are Divided Among the
states and observation-disclosures
Of the Origin Of the Cher
Okee Alphabet.
Especial Washington Letter. ]

Especial washington Letter.
Statistics are usually dry and uninter-
esting; and yet once in awhile they are
so instructive as to be entertaining.
just by chance, in an ordinary CONVEX
sation with well informed man, the
writer became acquainted with facts
and figures concerning the American
Indians which everybody should know.
It is popular fallacy that the. abo-
riginal race is dying out so fast that
we may regard the Indians as prac-
tically obsolete, and that their numbers
have been rapidly depleted by the va
rious incidents incident to our civiliza-
ton. AS matter of fact, we have as
many Indians in this country as we
have ever had since men began enumer-
atoms of men. It may be well for stu
dents and rejecting men to have these
facts in their scrap books. They will
form interesting subjects for converse
ton and discussion.
Our Indian brethren may not have as
much room in which to roam as in the
days when William Penn sold them a
gold brick under the wide spreading
branches of an elm that once cast an
outrageous shadow over small por-
ton of Fishtown, but they are almost
as numerically strong as they were
more than half a century ago. Figures
demonstrate the truthfulness of this
statement. A special Indian census,
that forms part of the last general
census, gives the Indian population in
this country as 1925, 464, of whom, how
ever, only 18,447 are returned as In
dams, the remainder being those who
are in various ways affiliated with the
aborigines. The Indian population of
the United States is officially recorded
since 1889, and up to 1890, by the follow
ing figures:

These facts and figures may have
given you new thoughts about the orig
inal owners of American soil. Another
singular condition concerning them is
that among all of the nations that
compose the Indian tribes only one
the Cherokee has a written or print
ed language, although from the time.
Columbus first set his foot upon the
fruitful ground that we now till there
have been discovered 756 different Ian
guases or dialects, spoken by an equal
number Of Indian nations. While we
who use the English tongue employ
only 26 letters to give it expression,
the Cherokees find 81 requisite for the
voicing Of their thoughts. Through this
condition Of culture, however, the
Cherokees have become the wealthiest
and most intelligent Of all Indians.
