The Mirror Question.

A London telegraph official recently
brought down upon his head the wrath
Of two thousand women because he or
dered the closing of the dressing room
mirrors to his lady employees during
business hours. He thought the mir
Tors distracted their attention
As a matter of fact, the attention Of
the average woman is likely TO be con-
siderably more distracted If she thinks
there is something wrong with her
dress and cannot see what il is than if
she is surrounded with pier glasses.
The London manager was not a wise
man. He had not studied human ma
ture.
He was not a particularly good bust
ness man, for that matter. There are
sound business reasons why woman
in an office should be careful about her
appearance. Those who have gone
hunting for positions know that looks
play a most important part in the selec-
ton Of employees. Some men do not care
whether a girl is pretty or not, but
they want her to be neat. a trig, trim
appearance is almost a necessity in any
sort Of semi-public employment The
male clerk may work in his shirt
sleeves or without rs tie. but the
woman should be conventiOnally tit
and dainty The mirror is all but a
necessity for that sort Of thing

The District Of Columbia is proud Of the
work Of its rife team at Sea Girt. The
winning Of the Hilton Trophy by a record

was promptly followed by two more mag

company prizes being won by the rihemen

Guardsmen do not count much in the
matter Of voting. In truth, since the late
insular decisions they are not quite sure
whether they live in the United States
but they know how TO shoot, which is
some consolation.

AN INDIAN RELIC.

One George Y, S. Hovey,, OF White
Church Kan, Is said to have among
his collection OF Indian relics, a small
stone book which he found near the
three Indian mounds in Quindaro town
ship, Wyandotte. II is made OF red
pipestone clay. Il Is about three inches
long two inches wide end one inch
thick.
The story, as told by Mr.. Hovey In
the Toledo Blade. ls this;
Near the mounds where the book
was found was the site OF prehistoric
town Here men dwelt for many years.
with their wives and children, and here
are 10 be found IN great numbers their
implements for war and the chase We
know their workshops from the Hint,
chips and spalls. Thousands Of arrow
heads have been found. and many cur
rying stone knives, called by the Smith
sonIan professors hump backed
knives indicate that there were also
located there tanneries. The extent OF
the ground, the many loads Of flints re-
moved since the place has been known
10 the whites, all show that II was a
town Of considerable importance. The
number of these ancient town sites and
mounds within the limits OF Wyandotte
county, makes Il not rash assertion
10 say that 1000 years ago enough peo-
pie lived here 10 make great city"
AZ TO the book his explanation is that
when the first missionaries came among
the Indians. certain medicine man
perceived that they always preached
from a book. and he concluded that the
book was the secret Of their influence
over the people. So he made book Of
stone and preached from II. He told
them what this Indian bible" con-
tained about traders who would come
and who would take their furs in ex-
change for hrewater. making them at
all times crazy fools OF men who would
come with weapons Of fire that made n
great noise and would kill and scare
away all the game. Then he told OF
many more white people who would
come ana NuV NHhld MolAN AA'h AoiANf
then great troubles and quarrels, and
finally Of white warriors who would
Kill and drive all the Indians away
SO powerful were the sermons Of this
medicine man, that he was reinstated
among his people turning many away
from following the missionaries.
This. Mr.. Hoyey says, is tradition
The interesting question is whether the
stone book really is a specimen OF very
ancient literature. or whether II Is
hoax perpetrated by clever medicine
man. II is conceivable that the mis-
sionarles referred TO would regard II as
a hoax. and that the tradition as to
that point. would originate with them,
just as the most precious Maya doc
uments came TO be looked upon as idol
