The children of all these tribes have to be sent to the Government schools, ac- cording to the laws governing them. The teachers at once dress them in little white gingham dresses and remove the leather dresses and moccasins of the redskin. They are robbed of their long Indian names and called by shorter ones of the teachers own make.
 If they are apt to learn. and most are. they complete the common school course In six or seven years and are then sent east to the Government schools. where the higher branches are taught.
 In tepee life the Indian baby is unique. It Is given nothing to play with except the toads that hop about the tepSe doors. It has no paymates except those of its own relation. and 1t receives but few caresses from its parents The squaw mother Is in the habit of putting her baby to bed at dark. They sleep fin little sacks. open for a breathing place. Then she goes away to a dance or something of that nature. leaving the child to its own resources. If it cries, no one comes to soothe it, SO it has learned to go to sleep without it, And so crying has come to be almost unknown among these children.

How to Become Wise-A Fable.

II. Berkeley in Chatterbox.
 A King once asked Sage what books he had studied in order to become wise Sire. replied the Sage. mo books at all. Wisdom cannot be learned in that way I have always made 1t practice to think well on every subject I under take. and then I do each in the best pos sible way. That Is how have been able to acquire what little wisdom I possess. :"
 You are quite right" exclaimed the King, highly pleased with the answer "A man may have studied all the books in the world, and yet be a fool after all Wisdom is more precious than rubies, and can only be acquired by practicing wise and good deeds"

 The British officer drew his sword in a threatening manner but still young Jack son was defiant No threats could make him change his mind.

Morning on the Farm.

When the white dove cooes to his drowsy
 mate
 And the birds in the trees rejoice, Old Brahma stands on the barnyard gate And shouts in lusty voice. 'I feel better this mor-rning." And the bantam thinks 'tis true, For he answers back in a tenor tone, "Without-a doubt-you do-do.'' The house dog lies with his head on his
 paws
 And blinks at the morning call; The cat with field mouse in her jaws Comes running home on the wall, While the Brahma heralds the morn
 again, And the bantam takes the cue: T feel better this morning" "Withoht-a doubt-you do-o." The birds with a glorious burst of song Make glad the orchard boughs, And the farmer. swinging his pails along Goes out to milk the cows; The work of the day begins again, And the roosters call anew: II feel better this mor-rning" "Without-a doubt-you do-o."

In village in Germany blind old wo- man was led to church every Sunday by q gander. who used to take hold of her gown with his bill. When he had safely conducted the poor woman to her seat, he would go back to the churchyard and graze there till service was over. When he saw the people coming out of church, he went back to his blind mistress and led her safely home. One day a gentleman called at the woman's house. and when he found that she was not at nome ne told her daughter that he was very much sur nrised at her mother having gone out. .'Oh. sir" said the girl we are not afraid of trusting her out, for the gander is with her

RICH INDIAN BABIES.
Children Who Have Been Given Land
 by the Government.

W. R. Draper in New York Herald.
 Of the 800 or more Indian babies of the Kiowa, Comanche, Apache, Wichita and Cadto tribes of the southwest mostly all of whom now live in Oklahoma, not one can be called poor They have been given a quarter section of land each and made citizens of the United States. When the Kiowa-ComaEche country was opened to white settlement on Aug. 6. 1901, these children. along with their parents. were each given their allotment of land. which comprises 160 acres of their own choice anywhere in the country. The parents were allowed to take the land for them, but the title remains vested in the young sters themselves, so the parents. no mat ter how eager may be their desire to convert these farms into cash and squan- der that, cannot do so. These children are all assured of a tract of land that will be quite valuable when they have att tained their majoyity.
 One little girl, whose picture accom- panies this article, is worth go 600 in her own right. She is Kiowa Annie by name. and her farm lies near the new town of Hobart, in the rich Wachita valley. Her father by chance selected this farm for his daughter, not knowing that the home seekers. when they came in. would choose to erect a town near 1t. But the farm is there, and the town Is growing. By the time Kiowa Annie reaches her majority she can lay her farm out into town lots and realize a fortune from the sale Of them. She Is now four years old and is being sent to the Government schools at Darlington.
 These little girls are for the most part quick to learn and when sent away to the Government schools learn rapidly.

ONCE A POOR BOY.
President Loubet Loyal to His Hum ble Origin and Peasant Mother.

Not all the great men who were once poor boys live in our land of the free. No matter where he lives the ambitious boy can get to the top provided he has the right stuff'' in him. An illustration of this truth is afforded by the career of President Loubet of France. His parents were poor peasant people. and his mother still lives in Maranne, near Lyons, in a pretty little cottage. Thither M. Loubet goes now and then. When with her, he kneads her bread, holds her knitting yarn for winding and drives out with her in her old phaeton behind her poky old horse, to the infinite delight of the simple old peasant woman.
 He lives in the splendid Elysee palace, in Paris, as simply as If 1t were a cot tage. He arises at o'clock, drinks his coffee and reads the papers and the re- ports of his cabinet ministers. From to 10 o'clock he walks abroad. usually alone, marching briskly in rain or sunshine. He scorns an umbrella, saying:
 "I'd rather be rained on that carry such an absurd object over my head"
 In the evening. when there are no guests It the palace. he and his wife often dine 1t a public cafe. out under a tree on a boulevard if the weather permits, and the couple walk unattended to the opera af-
 erward, like any unimportant couple of
 he French capital.
 He tells of himself that he risisted be-
 lg sent to school when at nine years of
 ge his father decided that Emile must inter the college at Crest He ran away and hid in the woods and when found had Q be tied hand and foot and put in a gagon. In this way he was delivered, ike an ordinary parcel. to the director f the school at Crest. Once there, how ever, he became popular with both teach CTS and pupils, for he was manly little chap and did his work and joined the games with engaging heartiness. These characteristics have distinguished him all his life. He has never attempted to conceal the peasant origin of himself and his wife.

MORNING PIECE.

(Sea of Marmora) A scarlet glory burned fantastically splendid In the sky of dawn, The sea stretched blue and stainless. The wind blew fresh across the great spaces, The white ship glided across the morning waters Like a living thing rejoicing In its grace A sense of largeness freedom, purity. infnity, Breathed from all things. And. huddled like animals in the hold of the ship, And packed on the fore-deck, And swarming on the matches. And coiled in the ropes. And seething beneath the awning, Hundreds and hundreds of Greek refugees In their grimy clothes Lay or sat crouched. And the miason of their breathing And of the cdors of the night Rose toward the radiant And impassive heaven.
