If money alone could make men hap
by there would be less misery in the
world. Nature is full of eccentricities.
She gives to one man great riches and
denies him the ability to spend them.
Men have been unjustly called misers
who simply didn't know how to rightly
get rid of their gold. She gives to an
other man love for children, and denies
them to him. Size gives to still another
heart throbblng with good impulses
and sorrow for the suffering of others,
aud he lacks the ability TO earn more
than enough to scantily supply his
bare wants. There Is Marshall Field,
the Chicago merchant prince. Surely
he is happyl He Is worth 100000, 600.
There isn't a King in Europe whose
personal possessions exceed that
amount Think of your own needs, and
see how much pleasure might be de-
rived from so great fortune. But Ma
ture didn't give to Mr.. Field the ability
TO enjoy money. comments the Cincin-
natl Post He built palace, and it was
the home Of discord. Marshall Field
Jr, lives in England, holding almost no
communication with his father. The
other day his daughter, Ethel Field
Tree, was divorced and her child given
to It's father. The charges made against
the butterfly wife was desertion. She
made no defense. Mrs. Marshall Field
died abroad and was buried in foreign
soil. And so the old man is left, al
most deserted by his children. His life
is solitary and secluded. He knows
how to work and doesn't need to work.
There is no spur of ambition to make
labor sweet. His shoulders stoOp, and
his head, gray at 80, is crowned with
snow at 81. He has no confidants and
few friends. When you hunger for
great wealth, crave also the ability to
enjoy it, for the one without the other
means lifelong misery.

The assertion that the number Of In
dian children attending school has
doubled since 1887 and that the num-
Der of Indian children in and out Of
school Is steadily increasing hardly
squares with that theory Of the gradual
extinction of the red men which has
been often questioned of late years. 1t
tends rather to support the claim that
these much-cOmmiserated denizens of
the forests and the plains have been
saved from themselves by a compul-
sorry peace, so that they are perhaps
more numerous under the white mans
rule than they were when their princi-
pal occupation was scalp-hunting All
the earlier Indian statistics are mere
guesswork. Parkman, who made the
closest researches into the history Of
the Hurons for the purpose Of his mon
umental work on the French in Amer
lea, made no pretenses toward an ac-
curate statement of their numbers. He
said that they were variously estimated
at from 10000 to 10000, but added that
the former figure was the more reason
able Of the two. In estimating the
population of the IrOquois he is equally
cautious, merely hazarding an infer
ence that when the five nations were at
the height of their power they did not
have as many as 1000 fighting men.
During the period covered by his mar
rative the Hurons were almost extermi-
mated by the Iroquois, and such de-
/ -
common. In fact, any great increase
OF population was impossible amid the
conditions of Indian life, and the early
explorers spent much Of their time in
an uninhabited wilderness. The sub
ject Is glanced at in the last report Of
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
where there is table giving estimates
of the population of Indians in the Uni
ted States from 1859 to 1900 The Com
missioner says that prior to the year
1850 only small reliance can be placed
upon the figures, and this Is obvious
after the briefest examination. For
they jump from 10000 to Al, O36 be-
tween 1870 and 1920 and drop 10 129,-
1876 in 1925. The census report of 1850
gave an enumeration Of 400, 764, but
the fact that there is a shrinkage to
314.622 within five years makes it prob
able that we still have to do with rough
estimates. 1t is only since all the
tribes have been corralled that 1t has
been possible to arrive at anything like
accuracy, and even OF late there have
been some noticeable discrepancies.
The census report OF 1880 put the num-
Der Of Indians at 322. 534; the report Of
the Indian Office for the same year
made the figures 256,1 In 1890 the re-
turn of the census was 24S, 253, and, ac-
cording TO the Indian office, there was
an increase to 2T2,O23 by 1900, not in
Guiding some $1,000 persons who have
lost their tribal identity. The calcula-
ton at this day should be pretty near
the truth, and If there are more than a
quarter of a million Indians within the
United States to-dey the probabilities
are that these aborigines are numeri
cally as strong as they were three OF
four centuries ago.

In the many periodicals which are
devoted to the advertising business the
dlihculty of making an advertisement
eHectiye has been exaggerated. Any
merchant or other business man who
knows all about his establishment has
only to talk to the public about his
stock exactly as he would talk to a
single prospective customer of intelH-
gence. The chief benefit of newspaper
advertising is in the fact that it en-
ables the business man to tell his story
to thousands at once.

Exploration and settlement have far
outstripped the expectations entertained
forty odd years ago: in those sections
where valuable mineral deposits are sup
posed to exist the location Of the bound
airy has for several years past been a
question of more or less interesting dis
pute.
The old cuttings and monuments have
become obscured. and in some instances
rumor has with purpose circulated false
reports that 0e monuments placed by
the old commission were incorrect.
canada and the United States are both
interested in having the line precisely
liked, and steps are being taken toward
the establishment of commission whose
determination shall be final.
In the meantime provisional but ac-
curate work has been done by the Joint
party of the geological and coast and
seodetic surveys to re-determine the
forty ninth parallel in the sharply dis
puted sections. while three other parties
OF the geological survey have recon-
noitered the entire stretch of 40 miles
from the crest of the Rockies to the Pa
cific coast.
The line traversed two mountain dis
Cascades and an intermediate country
which, though hilly. is not so high.
The mountains carry heavy forests,
and along the line are difficult of access
because the trails, one kept open by the
Indians, are now greatly INSTRUCTED by
fallen timber.
The surveyors frequently find the game
trails worn by bear and deer the easiest
routes to follow. The extreme eastern
range of the Rockies is of alpine char
acter, and glaciers and precipices lie
across the boundary line.
The work of the parties has been ar
duous but has been successfully carried
out, and a report will shortly be made
through the interior department for the
Information Of our state department.
The officers engaged in these surveys
were c. H. Sinclair of the coast and geo.
detic survey and E. G. Barnard Of the,
United States survey. who have garfield,

THE INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY
Government Surveyors Spend Much
Time in the Rocky Mountains.

During the past summer the United
States geological survey and the coast
and geodetic survey have been co-ope-
rating in a work Of unusual Importance
and interest in re-determining the line
Of the international boundary between
the United States and Canada from the
crest of the Rock mountains to the Pa
cific ocean.
The original treaty, signed in 1916,
which established the boundary at the
forty-ninth parallel, did not provide for
its Immediate survey over this Sec
ton.
This was due partly to the extreme
difficulty and even danger of conducting
surveys in this region at the time, and
partly to the prevailing opinion that so
rough and distant a region would be
settled only at a very remote future.
This view still prevailed to certain
extent when in 1857 to 1861 surveys were
actually carried out, for it was then
agreed by the commissions representing
both governments that it was inexpedi.
ent to incur the expense of locating and
marking the boundary continuously be-
cause, as they say in their official report.
