Success and Popularity as Writer
of Books for Children.

For few years past, Mrs. Clara ID
Pierson, wife of John w. ). Pierson,
has been engaged in writing series of

able of works of their class

the Forest People, Among the Meadow

Parding the lives and habits of the var
ious creatures inhabiung the earth, the
air and the water, and the stories are SO
charmingly told that they may be read
with plt assure aud profit by older people

This is an era of great combinations
both of labor and capital. In many
ways these combinations have worked
for good; but they must work under

much to the richest corporation as to

the old American doctrine of giving the

who recognize also that after combina-

FIN FOR IHE INDIANS
Release From Quarantine and
Government Pay Day Make
Red Men Happy.
One Merchant at Montour Takes
in $4,000 On Debts Due
From Indians.
He Gives Them Credit and Finds
Them Good Pay..0ther
News.

Montour. April 9.-Yesterday was a
gala day for the Indians of the rama
reservation. The quarantine had been
removed by DIR. Linn of the state board
of health and the Indians had large
sums of money to draw from the gov
eminent They came here on being re-
much of their annuities. One merchant
who has been letting them have goods
on credit all thru the quarantine period,
took in $4,000. He makes practice OF
giving the Indians credit and says that
they never tail to pay all their Gebts
when they get their money from the
government.
A peculiar feature of the celebration
was the fact that the small boys OF the
tribe had their money to spend, just
the same as their fathers. They were
offering fifty and hundred dollar bills
in paying for candy and other things
that took their fancy.
Dr. A. M. Linn, president of the state
on the fumigation of the Tama Indian
reservation, made necessary in order
to stamp out the germs of smallpox.
According to DR.. Linn, the red men OF
Tama county were given the most
strenuous lesson on renovation they
ever experienced or probably ever will.
The work of enovating was begun
March a. Three hundred and fifty In
dams had to be supplied with new
clothing and their reed Wigwams burn
ed. Old clothing had to be burned and
new tepees supplied and disinfectants
showered generously over the reserva-
ton. AT first the Indians were decid-
eddy refractory and it seemed for
time it would be necessary to call out
the militia. One of the principal things
that contributed toward allaying their
excitement was the red blankets with
which it was decided to replace the old
ones These caught the savage eye IN
weak spot, and the effect was mar
velous. What hurt the feelings of the
warriors worse was the fact that every
one of them had to be dipped in solu-
ton of corrosive sublimate. Even the
animals had to go thru this process,
and the dogs were baptized as impair
TALLY as were their owners.
Before the Indians would consent to
allow the renovating to proceed at all,
however, the chiefs held a council, and
as now was held in the council room
of the big chief, Push-ie-to-unique.
The pledge of DR.. Linn. who was known
as the Big White Medicine Man, was
obtained that their sacred books and
sermons, which are only taken from.
their coverings at their great feasts
once or twice a year, should not be
subjected to the fumes of formaldehyde
gas, which was used as disenfectant,
as the Indians feared it might drive
away and offend the spirit.
DR.. Linn says the Indians have
learned lesson in cleanliness that they
will never forget. The smallpox cpl
demic which struck the tribe last fall
was extremely virulent. There are for
ty-five fresh graves that bear witness
to it's violence. AT the head of each
grave is placed the skeleton of a dog
with his nose pointed to the west, for
the purpose of leading his masters
spirit to the happy hunting grounds.
