York farmer tells the story of a
setting hen that proved very valuable
to him. Last spring he had loft of
hay which he fully resolved TO market
in order to make more room in his
barn for the summers crop. One morn
ing he backed his team into the barn
with the intention of loading it. but in
climbing into the haymow discovered
one of his favorite hens comfortably
established in her nest. The soft
hearted farmer hated very much to
disturb her. and decided to wait until
the ambitious biddy came off with her
chicks. Now he is chuckling all over
with delight that he let her remain
for meantime the price of hay ad-
vanced, so he continued TO hold on to
his previous years crop. Recently he
sold this hay. and he reckons that by
allowing the hen to set it out" he
made over fifty dollars.

There is a growing impression that
the best way Of dealing with the
American Indian is not by making him
a pauper. and forever closing the doors
of citizenship TO him. a full blooded
Indian is now waiting about the corri-
doris of the National Capitol urging the
passage of bill which has been intro
duced to make him a citizen of this
republic What have | got emitting
me to citizenship" he exclaimed. re-
peating a question asked by repre-
sentative. Why. man. I've got a farm
of 900 acres. one of my sons is lawyer
in Chicago and the other Il student at
Yale. but ! can't vote, and if that ism t
enough, maybe this will satisfy you"
Thereupon he showed a letter Of credit
worth So 1000. Certainly ii does not
seem right to put such man as this
in the list of the untaXed. The schools
that have been established in this
country. notably at Carlisle and Hamp-
ton. for the education of Indian chill
dren are showing wonderful results.
and it is certainly a question if the
time has not come for some modifica-
tons in the treatment that has. hith-
crto. applied to the nations wards.

Cause Tor Condemnation.

The evidence brought out by the in
designations 1T West Point leave no
escape from the conclusion that there
is much cause for condemnation of con-
ditions that have existed there.
! Everybody knows, however, that it is
much easier to condemn than to
amend. None appreciate the difficulties
attending a thorough extirpation of
hazing so well as those who have ex-
perienced it, and none can know more
conclusively than they, the utter i'm
possibility OF altogether eliminating
methods by which the fresh" or
otherwise Objectionable student can be
made to feel mentally if not physically
the dislike or disposition TO take him
down entertained by his fellows.
OF course the calling out of cadet
to fight against an antagonist so much
his superior that there can be no ques-
ton as to the one who is to receive
the chastisemcnt is cowardly and ought
to be suppressed with a ruthless hand.
Likewise all effective hazing is viewed
from one point, cowardly. But the
very fact OF the strength Of the hazing
party. rendering opposition on the part
onerates him from any charge of
cowardicc in complying with demands
Sensitive natures must inevitably
suffer less from being put through a
physical course Of haZing procedure
from which there is no escape than
they would from a species of ostra-
cism. which students so inclined may
adopt despite rules and regulations.
Undoubtedly very many bumptious
the manner Of men who profit from
occasional adversely. Indeed. some Of
them admit as much and very fire.
quently say less In its condemnation
than do those who know nothing Of ii
by experience. Nevertheless ii should
not be possible for any number of
S'H'oi i'ii'NS ~ i'i'''e ph' f'Nu' $3.50
and punishmcnts on their fellows with
out mourning extreme probability OF
discovery and severe punishment.
Practical people will be slow to believe
that this much in the way of proven
ton cannot he secured and will not ac-
quiesce in conditions short Of that, at
least in any institution like West
Point where opportunities for severe
discipline would seem to be of the best.
