In the United States are 1,706,293 IL
iterates of voting age. The great ma
jority of these are found in the so-called
black belt, in the states which composed
the Southern confederacy. 1t is to REM
edy the pitiable condition Of the black
race. within whose membership the
greatest proportion Of illiterates is
found, that Booker T. Washington is de-
voting his life. Yet there are those who
would refuse to encourage this work and
discredit the most effective agent yet
discovered for. the redemption Of the
negro race from ignorance.

From Lewiston comes the news that
Milton Howell will hang December Is
for the murder of Thomas Rolling. This
crime is one which has claimed the at
tention of officers of Fergus county for
an extended period. The murder was
committed three years ago and Howell
fled from the officers who trailed him
through several states. finally capturing
him in British Columbia after a years
chase. Not often in the history Of Mon
tana criminals has justice been so ef-
fectively administered as by the officials
who caught and convicted Howell

CARTCONlNG THE PRESIDENT.

In a recent issue of London Punch APP
peared a cartoon representing President
Roosevelt as a rough rider and drawn
in the best style of Artist Partridge.
the famous illustrator. The picture pre-
sents the president seated on broncho
and gazing intently before him-study-
ing the rugged future over which he
must lead during his term of Office. The
costume of the rough rider is sub
dued, the bizarre characteristics SO
often seen in sketches of the president
are lacking and in their stead is set
forth the idea of force and confidence
mingled with grave concern for the
duties at hand. It is cartoon, but
cartoon lacking in the irony. ridicule.
made the modern newspaper sketch Of
such potent force in politics.
So inspiring is the picture that Presi-
dent Roosevelt was immensely interested
by the idea the artist had so cleverly
caught in the lines of his sketch. The
president commissioned friend In Eng
land to purchase the original drawing
and will give it a place in the White
house where the inspiration contained
in the work Of art may constantly
fortify him in his work.
In recent months the power of carica-
ture has been unable to reach the
occupant of the presidents chair.
There was a time when by clever ex-
aggeration the characteristics of Theo-
dore Roosevelt might be robbed of every
touch of dignity and made the basis OF
ludicrous suggestions which often con-
tanned no little argument of a political
nature. Roosevelt's personality, during
his earlier career in public life, was the
best windfall to cartoonists that ever
came their way.
The cartoon in Puck illustrates the
power of the presidents personality. He
has become a heroic figure in the world
His dashing, confident pose supplies just
the needed touch of enthusiasm to in
spire an artist, and he has besides this
the dignity of the most commanding po-
sition in the list of the earth's rulers.
In war and peace Roosevelt Is easily first,
and in the hearts of his people he is pre-
eminent.

HELD UP BY
TWO INDIANS

Talk about holdups," said Cornelius
Bray today. Il have been in the west
since 1862 and was never stuck up but
once, and on that occasion two Indians
did the work.
1T occurred between Missoula and
Hamilton in 1865. but at that time there
was no Hamilton. with the exception of
Bill Hamilton, keeper of a low doggery,
who was responsible for the job.
I'VE travelled in almost any old way at
that time-on foot, horseback or team.
l had few pack animals and was on
my way to Deer Lodge from a point near
Hamilton.
Bill Hamilton's doggery was between
Hamilton and Missoula, and it was quite
a place for Indians to buy whisky. On
my way to Deer Lodge I stopped at
the doggery and found there several men
/ knew.
Two Indians Present.
There were also two indians present.
had little gold dust and as one or two
of the white men were broke l drew
out my sack and loaned them some Of It.
The Indians saw the dust, and so did
the keeper Of the doggery.
After remaining at the place a short
time I moved on up the trail, but had
not gone far before I noticed that two
men were trailing me.
II did not know whether they were
Indians or white men, but I supposed
that whoever they were their intentions
were friendly. They were travelling
faster than was and soon caught up.
Then saw they were Nez Perces In
dams. but still did not mistrust them.
l was not armed with anything that
would shoot and do not suppose it
would have benefited me even II Ihad
a gun, as the Indians marched UP at
either side Of me and demanded my
dust.
simultaneously with the demand each
Indian pulled revolver and covered
me. one Of the guns being derringer
and the other a Colts repeater.
"Of course I had no alternative but
to dig up and I dug. emptying the
contents Of my sack into their hands.
After robbing me the Indians started
back in the direction whence they came,
and when I last saw them they were
sitting on the ground making a division
OF the spoils.
IT knew that Bill Hamilton had put
them up to 1t, so when I arrived at Deer
Lodge I told Attorney McGuirk about
it. He was an old friend of mine and
was mad.
q Authorities Are Notified.
"McGuirk notified the United States
authorities at Helena and in short time
we had the satisfaction Of seeing Bill
Hamilton in the clutches Of the law on
a charge Of selling whisky to Indians"
Mr.. Bray is now a resident Of Butte
and is an old-timer in Montana, having
crossed the plains from Minnesota in
1862.
For seven years in the 70s he was
sheriff Of Beaverhead county and In his
official capacity took a hand in the pro-
lection of settlers of the Big Hole basin
at the time Of the Nez Perces war.
