Juvenile Discrimination.

A little Germantown (Pa.) boy, who
goes to Sunday school every Sunday,
always receives a nickel from his
father to place in the collection plate.
Last Sunday his father gave him two
nickels, saying: 'One is for the Lord
and the other is for yourself" AS it
was too early to start for Sunday
school. the little boy sat on the porch
steps in the warm sunshine, playing
with the two nickels. After while
he dropped one of them and it disap-
peared down crack. Without n mo-
ments hesitation and still clutching
the remaining coin in his clenched fist.
he looked up at his father, eXclaiming:
"Oh, pop, there goes the Lords nick

Girls Whip "a Panther.

Anna Carter and Myrtle Love, liv-
ing near Grants pass, Oregon, not long
ago fought and whipped a panther,
though neither Of the girls had wea-
pom more deadly than a good-siZed
rock The girls are nieces of Judge
Hanna. who owns a large farm, and
were engaged in washing clothes at a
creek not far from the house, when one
Of them saw a large panther cr0uching
within twenty feet Of them. The big
brute was evidently getting ready to
spring ut them. Miss Carter, who first
caught sight OF the animal had an
arnlful of clothes. These she flung at
the panther just as he rose in the air.
The brute became entangled in a sheet
and before it could claw itself free the
girls had poured in on his ribs and
head a shower Of rocks which they had
picked up. The unexpected attack
completely ratified the panther, which
darted away with a snarling cry. Then
the girls ran to the house and sent a
couple of armed men after the prowler.
That evening handsome panther skin
was nailed on the side of the barn.

Not Up i'm Geography.

A certain minister OF Greater New

girl, accusinsly. Don't you know

No replied the New York miss.

Guard on Bikes.

President Loubet is well protected.
His secret guard consists of twelve
men, under the orders of a police CON-
missioner. These men watch con-
stantly over his person. When he re-
ceives they mingle with the guests
close by him, and when he goes out
they follow him, and have orders
never to lose him an instant from
view. When he drives they accom-
pany him on bicycles, and it is Only
then that they can be recognized. This
guard of twelve men alone costs the
state the nice little sum of $4,000 francs
year.

Treat ment of Indians.

The message points out the defects in our

passage of bills now before Congress- that
will increase its efficiency. OF the Indian
problem it says
"ln my judgment the time has arrived
when should definitely make up our minds
to recognize the Indian as an individual and
not as member of a tribe. The General
Allotment Act is a mighty pulverizing engine
to break up the tribal mass. 1t acts direct
ly upon the family of the individual Under
its provisions some sixty thousand Indians
have already become citizens of the United
States. We should now break up the tribal
funds. doing for them what allotment does
for the tribal lands; that is, they should be
divided into individual holdings. stop
should be put upon the indiscriminate per
mission to Indians to lease their allotments-
The effort should be steadily to make the
Indian work like any other man on hi: own
ground The marriage laws of the Indians
should be made the same as those OF the
whites.

things are more important than to preserve
them from the terrible physical and moral
degradation resulting from the liquor traf

Indian tribes from this evil. Wherever by

There is general acquiesence in our pres
ont tariff system as national policy. The
first requisite to our prosperity is the con-
tnuity and stability Of this economic policy.
Nothing could be more unwise than To dis
turb the business interests of the country by
any general tarin change at this time. Doubt.
apprehension. uncertainty are exactly what
we wish 10 avoid in the interest OF our COM
mercial and material wcll-bcing. Oar expert
ence in the past has shown that sweeping
revlsions of the tariff are apt To produ &C
conditions closely approaching panic in the
business world Yet il is not only possible.
but em,nently desirable to combine with the
stability Of our economic system "A supple
EIentary system of reciprocal benefit and obi
cation with other nations. Such reciprocity
IS an incident and result of the firm estab-
ishinent aud preservation OF our present
economic policy. II specially provided
for ia the present tariff law.
Our first duty Is To see that the protection
granted by the tarin in every case where IL
IS needed IS maintained, and that reciprocity
be sought for 50 far as il can safely be done
without injury To our home industries. just
how far this is must be determined accord
ing TO the individual case. remembering al
ways that every application of our tarih poi
icy to meet our shifting national needs must
be conditioned upon the cardinal fact that the
duties must never be reduced below the point
that will cover the difference between the
labor cost here and abroad. The well-being
of the wa2c- worker is prime consideration
of our entire policy of economic legislation
Subject 10 this provlsO OF the proper pro-
lection necessary To our Industrial well -beinS
at home. the principle of reciprocity must
command our hearty support. The pheno-
Incnal growth of our export trade emphasizes
the urgency Of the need for wider markets
and for liberal policy in dealing with for
| eign nations Whatever is merely petty and
vexatous in the way of trade restrictions
should be avoided. The customers to whom
we dispose Of surplus products in tbe
long run. directly or indirectly, purchase
those surplus products by giving us some
thing i'm return. Their ability to purchase
our products should far as possible y.
secered by arranging our tariff as to en-
| able us TO take from them those products
