who returned home from a trip abroad.
tells the following story on the single
male member of the party. He. of
course tried to evade the revenue Of
ficers, and. unlike the ladies of the
party, he should have had more sense
than to try to smugglu in a handsome
cuckoo clock. but he did try. He
placed the clock under his coat in such
a way that it could not be seen. and
boldly faced the inspector.
The clock had been doing some fun
ny stunts" in the way of keeping time
and striking on the way across. and
the girls were ready to bet that it
would go off" when least expected.
Things were going very well with the
party when suddenly the "hoo-hoo" of
the clock was heard.
A general laugh followed at the
mans expense, and he paid about IS

who return home from school either
do nothing or go into farm life. The
other one per cent become professional
men. Within the past few years the
strides made by the American red man
in farming have been remarkable.
More Indians are taking to the plough
than the public would believe. But 1t
is also true that fully 20 per cent OF
them, after having passed through a
good training school. will return to the
reservation and go on the downward
trail again. 1t is quite easy to teach
an Indian. but another matter to make
him remember and obey that which
he has been taught. One may travel
through any reservation in the west
to-day and find many Indians at work
in the fields. 1t may seem odd to see
a b~lanketed buck hoeing corn or driv-
ing a binder, but uch things are quite
common in New Mexico. Arizona. Da-
kota and Oklahoma. In Oklahoma vast
fields of wheat are cultivated by full
bloods. but they are called civilized
Indians, for the reason that they be-
long to the Five Tribes. I have rid

field of wheat owned and cultivated
by full-blood CherOkees. They live in
palatial homes. and are a hospitable
people. industrious and progressive. 1t
was about 1887 that the United States
government first came to the conclu-
sion that manual labor would exercise
a greater influence toward civilization
than anything else. That was the date
when their first lands were allotted to
them. 1t was then believed that the
proper way to go about teaching In
dams to farm was to place them on
a quarter section of good land. saying.
You must get a living out of this or
strave.' In a few years they found the
untutored savage quite willing to
starve or fight. In most cases he was
most anxious to fight. Some OF the
most %atrocious crimes have been COM
mitted by these same border redskins
who had been placed on a certain tract
of land and told to work it. 1t was
after all this that the government
learned the Indian had to be taught.
So after years Of patient teaching. red
men in farm life have become a matter
Of curse. It is their shortest cut to
civilization. In the Sioux nation. once

well-developed farms with good crops.
Red men who have fought in many
deadly battles now march stoically be-
hind the plough and harrow. In the
United States to-day there are 3S, 900
Indians who earn their own living by
farm work. Last year they sold their
farm products for a combined sum of
$1.40S. S65. over and above the ex-
penses of living. This was nearly $40
per capita. which is very good consid-
ering the fact that 80 per cent of them

that human tears are a remedy for
certain chronic diseases. At every flu
neral the bottling of mourner's tears is
one OF the chief features of the cere-

mop his or her face and eyes, and
after the burial these sponges are pre-
