VANITY OF sAvAGEs.


Hed Men Love to Pose In Grotesque
Attire Before the Camera.
AS evidence of the extent to which
the ornamental precedes the useful Ex-
plorer Humboldt noted the fact that
the Orinoco Indians in fair weather
strutted shout attired in all the finery
they We're able to procure, their faces
painted gaudily, their heads decked
with feathers. their whole aim being to
strike astonishment to the beholder
and no regard whatever had for COM
fort.
When the weather was bad, Hum
boldt found that the same men would
doff their clothing and carry it about to
save it for display on future sunny
days.
The same traits are seen today in The
North American Indians, little modified
by many years of intermingling with
civilization.
That part of Pennsylvania avenue,
Washington, running from Second to
Sixth street is the favorite promenade
Of visiting Indians. Portions of Sec
ond and Third streets, running off the
avenue, are filled with boarding houses
especially patronized by the redskins
and especially avoided by the whites in
consequence.
A number of photographers in the vi
cinity are the chief attractions of this
neighborhood for the aborigines. Moth
Ing so delights them as to strut gravely
from their boarding houses to these art
galleries to sit for solemn pictures mt
Uncle Sans expense, the bill being
charged in with necessaries incidental
to visit to the great father
To deprive the visiting Indian of the
privilege to sit for his photograph in
full paint and feathers and Il grotesaue
mixture Of cheap ready made garments
with blankets and bear claws would be
the greatest hardship possible to the
chieftains.
Showing the same disposition Hum
boldt noted. the visitors get themselves
up more barbarously the closer they
get to civilization.-St. Louis Republic.

says that this grass is of better quality

says that this grass is of better quality
than Kentucky blue grass.
But to ourtext. Nothing pains US
more than to see not only the valuable
aged COW, often right in her prime, dis
regarded in private selection or the sale
ring, especially by the novice who needs
just such experienced dams to start
him in the breeding of blooded cattle.
They usually go cheaper ana are sold
frequently with calf at foot and often
carrying another. We heard Col. Wood
say he had seen the most foolish things
of which men could possibly be guilty,
done in the sale ring, such for example
as has been seen twice this spring at
Indianapolis, IN the selling once of a
heifer for 81 $50 and her dam for 5000;
again the daughter for S725 and the
mother for 1925.
But the commoner stock. The more
good blood and the higher the grade
of calf, as indicated by the sharely
form at yearsge, the more likely is q
calf to go to the butcher or stockyards
for melting toothsome morsels. Farm
ers no longer raise cattle as they once
did, saving the heifers for breeders. Is
it any wonder that common cattle are
hign and blooded breeding cattle still
higher? And they will stay that way
good long time with beef and fat cattle
now remaining where they are not go
ing to stay, for they are still going far
ther up the ladder. The top is not yet
reached, rest assured. The equilibrium
must be regained in some way, and
decade would be brief time iu which
to reestablish such an out balanced con-
dition.
When farmers will hold to their heifer
calves and heiters, and even aged ma
irons of the herd, declining tempting
offers from stock buyers, but instead
breeding them to good Shorthorn, Poll
ed Durham bulls and adhere to this as
q fixed principle until the meat and
beef cattle shall have reached the prices
in foreign lands, and not until then we
may look for the reestahlishment of the
former ratio between the population
and the cattle of the country, and then
it will not be accomplished within
decade because it cannot be brought
about by unanimous rigidity of prln-
ciple and purpose. Who can gainssy
the assertion with facts to back lt?-

THE PIANO AT ITS BEST.
Four Times n Yenr None Too Often
to Have a Piano Tuned.

Four Times n Yenr None Too Often
to Have n Piano Tuned.
"There are plenty of people," said a
piano tuner. who let their pianos go
one, two, three years without tuning,
and In some cases pianos thus neglect
ed may not get very, very woefully off,
but piano should be tuned every three
months. That would be none too often
to keep 1t in order.
"As matter of fact, u piano begins
to get out of tune again at once after
it has been tuned. How could it be
otherwise? Nothing stands still. This
difference would at first be so slight as
scarcely to be perceptible to any but
the practiced and sensitive ear of an
expert tuner, but it is there. Doesn't a
clock begin to run down as soon as 1t is
wound up? -Four times year a piano
ought to be tuned, but only Il compara-
lively small percentage of people give
their pianos that attention which Is
needed to keep them in their most per-
| feet loveliness of tone. Piano makers
and dealers of course are looking after
the tuning of their pianos in stock
scrupulously and carefully all the time.
You don't hear pianos out of tune in a
| piano wareroom. They never let them
| get out of tune there. They aim, in
fact, at keeping them as near perfec-
tion rs they can.
eve are pretty sure to find in every
new piano something pleasing and at
tractive. Some share at least of this
pleasing quality comes from its being
in perfect tune. In fact, to keep any
| piano at its best 1t must be kept in
tune, and to attain the results most sat
isfactory to all, to the owner and the
neighbors alike, u tuning tonic should
be administered to every piano not less
than four times a year."-New York

Marengo Democrat: tits is a pretty
well established fact, that as long as
liquor is made, it will be drank. As
long as 1t is drank, it will be sold. AS
long as 1t is sold, it may be procured
anywhere, if the price is forthcoming.
With these facts, which everyone's exper-
iences seems to justify, looking us in
the face, what is the use of trying to
eliminate the drinking factor from the
great problems which humanity is solv-
ing? The only move which can be
made, is to regulate the sale of the stuff.
There is no more use in attempting to
regulate the human appetite by law,
than there is sense in throwing chaff
against the wind. Moral and religious
training, which teaches restraint of the
appetite and passions, is what the world
needs, more than 1t does the minister
who wields higher power, and yet is
compelled to call the laws of the land
to his aid.

WiIIiamson's Population.

Franklin Review Appeal: 1T had
been given out several months ago
in the dispatches from Washington
to Tennessee newspapers that the
population of Williamson county
was 36 429, but it now transpires that
there was a mistake OF 10000 in the
figures. 1t is difficult to believe
the census returns are correct. Will
hanson county, according to every
indication, has many more people
in it than were here ten years ago,
and the figures compiled by the gov
erument is not to be accepted, there
fore, as an accurate measurement OF
its growth. So far as Franklin is
concerned, there are five hundred
people who to all intents and
purposes are citizens, but who reside
outside the corporation borders.
There are, in all probability, also
more people actually inside the
limits than the returns give.
The population of Williamson as
shown by the census bulletin is 26
429. In 1890 it was rs 32l, shUwi ing
an increase of 1903, or per cent. The
population of Franklin 10 2 1870
while in 1890 1t was $50.

Confederate soldiers for horses and
side arms taken from them in violation
of the terms of surrender. The House
concurred in the Senate amendment, and
the bill now awaits the signature of the

and 1867 and placed in the hands of the
late Judge A. M. Hughes of Columbia.

original testimony and data in his
possession necessary to cinch these
claims, and as soon as the Secretary of
War prescribes the necessary rules for
settlement, as the bill provides, Col.
Hughes will leave for Tennessee to fur
nish this data to the claimants and pre-
pare the claims for adjudication.
