The Indian Telephone.

Selec7ed.
A writer in Chicago daily tells us
1f variety of long-distance telephony
which the Indian employed when on
the warpath.
There was way OF sending up the
smoke in rings and puffs, and the In
iiah knew that such column would
1t once be noticed and understood to
oe signal, and not the smoke from
some ordinary camp fire.
The rings we're made by covering
the fire with blanket for a moments
thea suddenly removing the blanket
and allowing the smoke to ascend, when
the fire was instantly covered up again.
The column OF ascending smoke rings
said to every Indian within circle Of
perhaps twenty or thirty miles, "Look
out, there's an enemy near"
Three smokes built close together
means danger. One smoke simply
said, "Attention !" Two meant, "Cam p
at this place."
To one who has Travelled upon the
plains the usefulness OF this long-dis
fance telephone becomes at once appa-
rent. Sometimes at n sht the traveller
saw fiery lines crossing the sky, shoot
ing up and falling, perhaps taking a
direction dioginal to the line OF vision.
II he was an old-tlmer he might in
terpret the signals, and know that one
ire arrow-an arrow prepared by treat
ing tie head of the shalt with gunpow-
der and fine bark, meant The same as
the column of smoke puffs, namely,
AN enemy is near." Two FIRE arrows
meant, Danger" Three arrows said,
"The danger IS great" Several arrows
said the enemy are too many for:us.

Partisan Trees.

Selected.
Paris is said to lead the world in the
culture of city trees. The success OF
the French capital is due not so much
t, an admirable soil climate as to a
we'll organized system of caring for the
trees.
In large nurseries young trees are
grown and prepared for the Parislan
streets. The culture of the soil is elab-
crate. From the very beginning the
trees are pruned and staked to COM
pei straight growth. BY frequent
transplanting the roots become Sd har-
dened that they are enabled to with
stand injury due to transportation.
When tree is sufficiently large, it is
set out in the streets with the same
care that was layished upon 1t in the
nursery. Often the cost of planting a
single tree is $50. Whenever storm
destroys the city trees the nursery can
be Immediately drawn upon Tor an
other supply.

70 Suppress c,war's.
Charlotte Observer.

Cn4rlotte observer.
The suppression o! the pist habit
lies more In the execution CT ore good
law than in the making OF moro or
different ones. The essential prerequi.
site for the suppression OF a useless car
rying Of concealed; weapons Is the de-
yelopment of sentiment favorable to
the proper execution Of the law. The
pistol carrier is too much deferred to.
The habit Is not com mon among cour.
ageous men. 1t Is entirely too COM
mon amongst the disturbing clement
OF the people. Prosecutions for viola
tions of the law about carrying CON-
cealed pistols should be sustained by
public sentiment, and when this is done
the old law or the new one is good
Until this is done naked laws
will cut little figure in breaking up
the habit. The idea that the man
who prosecutes pistol-.arrier for
breaking the lew is doing 50 from mo-
tives of fear may be right in some
cases, but not necessarily 80 always. Tho
failure to prosecute is species OF Emid.
ity in it elf. The man who sees the
law broken and fails to report the case
for prosecution is in exactly the samc
category, in so far as the law Is con.
cerned, as the man who witnesses q
theft and fails to support every honest
effort to punish violation Of the law,
and the violation OF the pistol law is no
exception. The real trouble is that
the fellow tina. "totes" pistol receives
a Certain sort OF cheap difference. He
whoops.lt up louder than any body else
at political meetings and iDjects him
self into notice. Although not usually
a fair fighter, he relies upon his pistol
to back him in doing loud-mOuthcd
stunts to the detriment Of good order
and reasonable discussion.
Clap the punishment provided in
any of the laws about pis:ol-carrying
on these sore spots in the community
and:they would soon settle down to the
quiet level where they belong.

despite careful scrutiny by three OF
tour sets OF inspectors. In most ol
cases they have been national bank
notes, which, like Irregular treasury
notes, are printed at the Bureau in
Washington. The face value alwa, &
is recognized when the freak comes to
be cashed in at any branch of the
treasury, and the imprint on the back
has no lawful status whatever.
"The notes are printed in sheets at
Bureau" said the official. Usually
there will be one twenty and two tens
on a sheet. They are printed one
side at time, so it can te seen that
the printer in trs,,:15s over the sheet
might get it up side down and thus
get ten dollar back on twenty dollar
note, or twenty on the back of one of
the tens"
Ia the bureaus are women who ara
supposed to examine all the bills care
fully, but occasionally they forge. to
look at both sides as scrutinizingly as
they should, and so the money goes
