treaty is impractical and should
not be considered. The Chief
took within two days Of the limit
of time allowed before calling the
election, and the utmost time that
could be given ill the vote is TAX

The cry that is being raised by the
fri ends of the treaty that senti-
ment is growing in favor of the
treaty is without foundation in
fact, and no amount Of time would
secure it's ratification. The troub-
Re is it was loaded with schemes

The Cbieftain has received semi.
official notice that its opposition
to the treaty is obnoxious to the

be necessary to place a censorship
upon its u~tterances. The editor
and owner Of The Chieitain defies
any such interference with its
freedom OF speech, al a public
journal, and bis private rights a. a
citizen, and denounces the same

Chieftain opposes the ratification
of the treaty because it is a scheme
of robbery and blackmail upon a
defenseless people. The Chieftain
will not cease to warn the Chero-
kee people against the disaster
that now confronts them, and the
III nited States officials that have
threatened it are told to 60 to

The late Professor Hinsdale w8s sin
and as for slang-well, he knew far
more about the deadest of dead Ian
guages than he did concerning these
saucy innovations on his native tongue.
There was a certain piece Of legisla-
ton which was of considerable inter
est to the local school officials. 1t had
been introduced into the legislature
and was there hanging fire.
One day Professor Hinsdale, then
school superintendent, said to Mr.. Tom
Whitehead, secretary of the board of
education: "Mr. Secretary, what is the
outlook for that special school bill now
In the hands of the state legislators?
Do you believe it will be adopted
soonT'
The secretary shook his head in a
manner that was meant to be thorough
ly discouraging and said, with Il strong
emphasis:
1T will be a cold day when that bin
is passed"
Inc superintendent uouueu anu pass
ed on.
A day or two later somebody came
into his office and asked him about the
prospects Of the same bill.
"Well," he replied In his heavy way,

the status of the measure, but have
been assured emphatically by Secreta-
ry Whitehead, who may be considered

character, that the bill will not pass

Crusnde Agninst the pillow.

Is it better to sleep with the head
high or low? This is a question which
manufacturers of bedclothes apparent
ly answered long ago by announcing
authoritatively that no one In his
senses would think Of lying down to
sleep unless he had a pillow and a
bolster under his head. Now, how
ever a French scientist comes forward
and says that any one who rests his
head on a pillow and bolster while he
Is sleeping is slowly but surely COM
mitting suicide. This scientist is NJ.
A. Feret and it was at the recent meet
ing Of the French Society of Hygiene
that he expressed his heterodox views
on the subject.
natural position for man while sleep
ing is the horizontal one, and the first
thing to do in order to accustom one
self to it is to remove the bolster.
Within n few months, he says, one will
be able to sleep much more calmly
than ever before and, moreover, the
general health will be much improved.
"This statement" he insists, "is not
made lightly. but is the result Of long
experience"
The next step, he says, is to remove
the pillow, for not until then will the
circulation of the blood be as free as 1t
should be.
In further explanation he says that
the pillow and bolster keep the head
and neck at an abnormal angle, and
that consequently the sleeper's entire
body remains during the night in an
uncomfortable position and one which
impedes the free course Of the blood
through the vessels and organs. The
only remedy, he maintains, is to adopt
horizontal position, since by it alone
Is absolute rest guaranteed, and this
rest is due to the fact that in such a
position the ligaments Of the neck are
not strained or distorted, the lungs cas-
fly perform their proper work and the
heart beats regularly.

Never before in the history Of the
regular army has any one administra-
ton had so much directly to do with
its personnel, and never before in the
history of modern armies has nation
al war office had thrown upon it so
much technical labor to be performed
within such a limited, brief period.
Nearly all the officers Of cavalry and
infantry and many of the artillery off,
GERS who are to be promoted and as
signed to new regiments, as well as the
great bulk of those who are to be pro-
NOTED in and transferred to and from
the old regiments, are in the Philip
pines, Cuba and Porto Rico. They are
all more or less remotely separated
into minor garrisons, and the greatest
care will be required to secure expedi-
ton and avoid confusion and error.
Then, again, the enlisted men for the
new regiments must be quickly enroll
ed throughout the United States, as
signed, uniformed and organized, un-
der command of a sufficient number
OF officers, who must be somehow
found in this country to take charge
Of and conduct the newly formed regi-
ments to the Philippines. All in all,
1t is n heavy task, especially for the
adjutant generals and quartermasters
departments, but so thorough Is the
understanding Of all requirements and
so perfect the system of procedure by
skilled officials no one doubts the final
successful accomplishment Of the
work
While the new army bill will make
a bonanza of quick promotions for the
younger set, such as has never before
occurred in quasi peace times, the older
set will not derive near as much i'm
mediate benefit. In the line Of the
army, for example, Of the $50 promo
tions only 10 will be of lieutenant colo
nels, 80 Of majors and but 20 Of senior
captains. The promotion of 10 colo
nels to the grade of brigadier general
and a possible five additional promo
tions and retirements Of colonels will
make q total of 140 field officers and
senior captains Of cavalry, artillery
and infantry, total Of 140 as COM
pared with about 760 promotions Of
subalterns. In the several grades Of
the staff department the promotions
will be much less than generally imag-
ined, making a total of 220, including
lieutenant colonels, 10 majors, 3S
captains and 155 first lieutenants. The
adjutant generals department will
have but one promotion Of a major
to lieutenant colonel under the new
law and the inspector generals de-
partment but one promotion to colonel
and two to lieutenant colonel, but the
former will have an increase in the
lower grade of IL officers and the latter
an increase Of Z.
These figures, both for line and staff,
show greater advantages and benefits
for the younger set, but the new law
holds out to the older and higher grad
ed officers much greater hope for fu-
ture advancement than to the younger
class, whose time for stagnation Of
promotion is sure to come.

How She Lost a Thousand.

"Ive Just lost thousand dollars" said
the girl with the pensive face casually.
"Well, it's hard to keep track Of such
small sum in ones purse" was the re-
joinder the sarcastic young woman in the
Morris chair made.
The pensive girls nose wrinkled in dis
dain. "It was this way" she explained:
81 was coming home with one of the lat
est novels my friend on the North Side
had lent me. The book l carried was
brand new, and l was going through
department store and happened to stop
and look at some books in the book de-
partment. 1t was then / thought OF II.
They are always on the lookout for shop
lifters, you know, and 1t suddenly occur
red to me that it was quite likely l would
feel the heavy hand of house detective
on my shoulder as | walked out Of the
store. In fact, didn't quite see how
detective who was doing his duty could
avoid nabbing me. There l was lettering
around the books and intending to walk
away with brand new, unwrapped novel
under my arm. What grounds would the
detective have for believing l hadn't stol-
en- it? l decided to demonstrate gently
but firmly with him. He would soon.
Thereupon l would consent to be led
away. / would demand being taken to
the manager. would state my case to
him in a quiet, ladylike, naughty manner
which would COW him, so different would
it be from the usual hysterical threats Of
the real shoplifters. He would be con-
vinced and apologize and hope it was all
right. Then l would smile frostily and
make no move toward going. oh, no.,
would say, st is not all right. You know
perfectly well what box you and your
bright detective have got yourselves into.
I have good damage case against this
store, and l intend to put it In the hands
of my lawyer. Either that and the annoy
ing publicity for you or you sit down and
sign q check for $1,000 and hand it to
me- OF course he would be glad to get
out of it for paltry thousand, and then
would depart, planning summer trip
to Europe"
The fascinated audience was listening
breathlessly.
The pensive girl drew long, long sigh.

walk out right unuer MS nose, ano L
