of the Army Regulation.
RECURRING AcauieSceuce

In view of the apparent lack Of knowledge
on the part of officers and enlisted men of
his command as to the requirements of ex-
listing orders relative to their right to re-
fuse to submit to surgical operations neces-
sary to restore them to duty, Gen. MacAr-
thur has called attention to the following
provisions contained in the regulations of
the army:
Except in case of a capital operation
involving the risk of life. soldier cannot
refuse to submit to medical treatment OF
surgical operation without subjecting him
self to trial by court-ma rtial for wilfully
avoiding treatment, the object of which is
to enable him to perform the duties for
which he is enlisted"
1t has been observed that both officers
and enlisted men have declined simple
operations which were necessary to produce
condition of fitness for full duty, and
hereafter a refusal to submit to an opera
ton pronounced necessary by a medical
officer, where the same is not capital one
involving danger Of life. will be made the
basis Of charges and trial.

HOW INDIANS MEASURE TIME.
They Fix Their Dates by Sleeps and Moons
and Winters

4 Our Indians measure time solely by
days, by sleeps, by moons and by win
tiers. The Indian has no name for any
subdivision of time less than day.
When he desires to indicate Il shorter
period, he points to the heavens, and
measuring off space says, cit was as
! long as ii would take the sun to go from
there To there. " A day is from daylight
TO darkness, ''sleep," or night, from
dark 10 daylight. He has no name for
any day, nor has he any subdivision of
time corresponding to our week. A
moon commences with the first streak
of the crescent in the west and lasts un-
til the next one appears, but the days of
the moon are neither numbered nor
named. From winter TO winter" is
the nearest approach he has to our term.
The year commences with the first fall

A young man writes to Edward w.
Box inquiring why so many girls seem
to prefer the company of young fellows
of slightly blotted character-men who
have seen the world--and in many cases
marry them, in face of the fact that
their past lives are known to them. In
The Ladies Home Journal Mr.. Box, its
editor, makes this reply: "Girls-tbat

the company of young men of this sort.

"There are, of course, cases TO the

marry men who are known to have led

more generally due TO misuuderstand-

imagine. There is a type of girl who
finds peculiar satisfaction in the con-
quest of man who has seen the world
of all her sex who can make him happy.
This sometimes pleases her vanity and
love of conquest, but she is not many
years older before she discovers that she
has satisfied those feelings at very
high cost.

GREAT MOTOR SCHEME.
Thirty Thousand Horsepower to Be
Developed In Nebraska.

Thirty Thousand Horsepower to Be
Developed In Nebraska.
a proposed consolidate of the street
car and electric lighting interests of
Omaha and Council Bluffs and of three
towns in their vicinity discloses the lar
gest power scheme ever undertaken
in the United States with the eXcep-
tion of the AIassena and the Niagara
power plants.
The plan contemplates the develop
Inent of 10000 horsepower on the Ne
braska prairies. 1t is proposed to build
n canal thirty miles in length from
I.inwood, ON the Loup river. to Ere
mont, on the Platte river. This canal
will carry the waters of the Loup riv-
er through natural formation that
lends itself readily to the work and
empties into a reservoir on the Elm
creek canyon at Fremont, Neb., where
the bluffs ri.7 500 feet above the Platte
river.
The engineers say that the most re-
markable feature of the entire canal
proposition is the completeness of the
natural preparations for the carrying
out of such n scheme. Not only is
there a landlocked basin large enough
to hold 14,00O,OOO.00O gallons of wa
ter, requiring only one dam to close it
up, but nature has seemingly provided
for the canal itself part of the way.
\ great natural ridge has been rolled
up several hundred feet in width and
as straight as though laid out by the
hand of man, extending a distance of
between six and seven miles, to carry
the canal up to the inlet to the basin
at the top of the bluffs.
The explanation of the production of
power is found in the fact that in go
ing from Linwood to Fremont the wa
ter falls $50 feet. This viii form what
the engineers call the potential head.

Meaning of the Word "omaha..

The name Omaha" bears testimony
TO the long journey of the people, and
reveals some of the causes which brought
about this breaking up into distinct
tribes. 1t is composed of two words,
which signify '.going against the cur
rent, or up the stream. The Omahas
were the people who went up the
stream, while the Quapaws, their near
of kin, went, as their name reveals,
with the current or down the stream.
The traditions of both these peoples say
that the parting occurred during hunt
ing expedition, each division finally set
Ting in the lands whittier they had
wandered apart. This epochal hunt
must have been centuries ago, for the
Quapaws bore their descriptive name in
1910, being mentioned III the Portu-
guese narrative of De Soto's expedition
as then living ON the Arkansas river,
where they dwelt until 1899, when they
coded their long occupied lands to the

THE POSTER PLAGUE.

A COmpensating Revenue TO BE Ex-
acted From the Nuisance.
From the New York Tribune.
England like the United States, Is suffer-
ing from the plague OF posters. Neither OF
the Anglo-Saxon peoples has yet learned
to derive some compensating revenue from
the nuisance but the English have antici-
pated us somewhat in the serious discussion
of tax. and they certainly have gone far
beyond us in the matter of municipal regu-
iation of advertising signs. On June "a
the Tribune published a detailed account Of
the French law levying stamp tax on
posters. from which. 1t Is believed. New
York might learn how at once to raise In
directly much needed revenue for state pur-
poses to the lessening of the general prop
erty tax levy. and at the same time to ex-
ercise a wholesome restraint upon the
senseless multiplication Of advertising signs
and direct the sign painters to more mod
crate and more rational but not less ef-
fect.ye displays. Today the account of the
French law is supplemented with record

ward the regulation OF posters
