SCHOOLS FOR OUR INDIANS.

The Government Has Two Thousand
Teachers on the Various Reservations.
"There are, in round mum bers, some
$50, 900 Indians in this country" said
Miss Estelle Reel, Superintendent Of
Indian schools, recently, "aud the Gov.
ernment has upon the various reser.
vations about 250 boarding and day
schools, in which over 1000 teachers
are employed. The work is divided,
part Of each day being spent in study
and part in industrial work. The
girls are taught to become good house
keepers, and are instructed in all that
pertains thereto; while the boys are
taught farming and the ordinary in
dustrial arts. Besides these schools,
which are situated near the homes of
the Indians, there are several where
the higher branches and the scientific
trades are taught, such as the far
famed Carlisle school, the Haskell in
stitute and the Hampton institute.
Since these were organized, a few
years ago, there have been a large
number Of graduates. Few have re-
turned to their old life. and as re-
suit OF the practical work done in the
schools there are q number Of Indians
employed as teachers, cooks, matrons,
seamstresses and disciplinarians.
Thus we see that gradually the Indian
question will be solved when the com.
ing generation is taught TO become
self-supporting aud to follow the or
dinary walks of life, the same as their
white brothers.
"There is considerable dispute
among educators as to whether our
efforts are wasted. The opinion that
much Of the 80 called Indian education
is wasted, and that the Indian boy or
girl upon returning from school inn
mediatsly returns to camp life, is held
by many. Ibelieve that we must bet.
ter the aims of the young Indian, and
tb do this the youth must be brought
into and kept in our civilization, un.
less our civilization is taken to him.
In many INSTANCES where tribes Of In
dians have been surrounded by good
class OF white settlers the debasing
camp life is ending. Major Pratt,
superintendent of the Carlisle school,
holds that the Indian children must
In some way be placed under the inAu-
ence of individual contact with Ameri-
can life and citizenship. The placing
of Indian boys and girls at service in
families Of farmers. although for few
months only, has met with abundant
success. believe that young Indian
women need industrial education as
well as young men, for when you civil
ize the wife you civiize the home.
For that reason strongly urge that
sewing, cooking and economic house
keeping shall be the leading factors
in every Indian girls education.n

SHE GOULD DA5sLE. TOO.

How a Woman Broke Her Husband OF
Taking RiskS In the stock Market.
He was business man making .
nice little sum every year for nest-egg
purposes, besides extending his bust
ness and slowly but surely moving
along toward Easy street. Yet he
was not content, and in the hope OF
forcing the hand OF fortune, was doing
some trading in the stock market His
wife said it was gambling, pleading
with him to stop. He insisted that il
was perfectly legitimate and regular,
and she finally admitted that he was
tight and gave up the contest.
His wife gave him no further trouble
until one Sunday morning she ap-
peared ready for church in handsome
new cloak. He wanted to know where
she got it, and she told him that he
would learn by and by. He went to
church with her, feeling uncomfort-
able. He kept his peace, however,
aud said no more until the next Sun
day, when she appeared in rich black
silk gown. He asked questions, but
got no answers that were satisfying.
ALI that week be worried 80 over that
sloak and the silk that he lost his
grip on the market and fell short
seriously. Sunday came again, and
this time she had q pair Of diamonds
in he2 ears that fairly daZzled his eyes.
He hadn't a spark of jealousy in his
nature and he believed implicitly in
his wife, but this was really too much.
She calmly took from her desk a lot
of blanks with which he was quite
familiar, aud handed them to him.
"They are the records of my trans
actions in stocks recently" she said,
with an air Of triumph. ''I borrowed
$50 on the diamond ring you gave me
when we were married. and handed it
over to brother Charley to invest for
one. 1 told him you said it was all
right, and he did as / told him to do.
I didn't know a thing in the world
/ about it, OF course, but [ was lucky
aud have made $500, and if the luck
doesn't go against me I'll make au-
other thousand next week. 1t is too
easy for anything, and you know,
dear, you showed me so clearly that
there was nothing wrong in it, L
have paid our share Of the preachers
salary, too, for the next year, and I'm
thinking OF organizing Daughters of
the Stock Market in tue church. Wont
it be lovely2"
Mary, my dear, he SAID, soIemnly,
"if you'll quit I WILL" and Mary,
after the manner Of women, began to
cry, she was so glad that it turned ont
just as it did.

Rsnsnt. Of Co-opsration.

What farmers can do by co-opera.
ton in the matter of road making is
interestingly told by Michigan cor
respondent Of the Orange Judd Far.
mer. 1t is a sandy country where the
correspondent Lives, and the roads
were generally poor throughout the
year. The town was poor also, and
refused to improve the high ways.
Then the farmers decided to help
themselves. About five years ago
twenty-five Of them came together and
offered to haul mari one day free if
the township would allow them to
take the mari from its bed. The town
ship was willing, and about twenty
men volunteered to shovel and level
the mari, and so the first half mile
was laid. That road proved such a
success that the next year another
half mile was put down. This mari,
packed down so hard and made such
excellent bed for gravel that the far
mers donated S225 and labor for
about one-quarter mile of gravel.
This being put on in what was always
a wet place, it was spread about eight
inches thichk. Next year $3.50 was
collected and about one-half mile was
put down, spreading this only about
four inches. This year only 500 was
collected, but quarter.mile strip was
put down, finishing the mile started
five years before. Besides this about
half-mile Of mari was put down
ready for gravel next fall. This ac-
tion of the farmers stirred up the
townspeople ut large, aud now the
town has offered to raise 5000 for
gravel if the farmers will furnish the
labor to spread it. That they will do
willingly.

enough to send the money without
any name and has prevented us from
finding a way to return it.
She gave a great cry of pleasure,
but looked surprised when Harry
came around, gave her a quiet kiss
and fastened out of the room. She
did not know that he went out to hide
the great love that was surging in his
heart, until it betrayed itself in his
face, for this beautiful, blue-eyed
woman, who he felt must surely be
the donor.
Katie went to school and prepared
herself for teacher. Tho fifty dol
lars became the founda tion OF much
good, for by and by, with Katie's
help, tiny little cottage was rented
outside the city and fitted up into a
cosy little home.
Then Harry was promoted, and he
showed such admirable tact for busi-
ness that after four years he became a
junior partner. Then his success was
steady and upward.
Katie married, but Harry remained
bachelor, with the memory of a
sweet, fair-haired, blue-eyed woman
enshrined in his heart. He could
never marry while the memory of her
remained.
One evening, while sauntering up
aud down the beach Of little seaside
town, where he had run for few days
vacation, he met a lady talking to a
small child. His heart beat wildly. II
was the one he worshiped above all
others.
Miss Bruce?" he said.
"No," she said, with a smile, ex-
tending her hand, "Mrs. Lambert. I
have been a widow two years. This
is my little boy" aud she turned the
little curly-headed child about.
'I did not know you were married."
he stammered.
''[ married two weeks after left
my uncle's."
"Ehank heaven she is free!" he
said to himself, drawing sigh of re-
lief
He found her just as frank and win

evening 80 long ago. Day after day
he fingered at her side. Did she love
him? Sometimes he though she did.
At last he could endure his love no
longer, and one evening by the sea,
under the pale moon, he told her all.
Told how the money had come in an
hour Of need and helped his little Sis
ter, and how her comforting words had
cheered him on through all the years.
"I think loved you ever since
then," he said. ''Now L know you
will think I am a selfish man, for |
freely confess l am not content with
my first present, but want the donor
for another. May have herr"
We do not know whether she an
swered yes or no; but we are quite
certain we have heard Harry Walker
say he liked his last present best.

Desert Lands That Have Been Redeemed.

plains OF the West that were supposed

over i've hundred farmers water their
lands by means of irrigation bitches

farms up into strips surrounded oy

these small water bitches run are over
