The Cigar Store Indian.

The last cigar store Indian in New
Orleans is for sale. There used to be
a time when a cigar store without an
Indian in the front was like Wilkins
without his Dinah. But things have
changed. A wooden Indian is no lon
ger regarded as the distinctive and
the distinguishing mark Of a cigar
store. Besides, it cost something. It
was made to order. The male Indian
in the glory Of his feathers and his out
fit cost anywhere from $3.50 to $500,
but the female could be purchased for
from 5000 to $3.50 AS the custom of
Indians is, the women occupied a posi-
ton far inferior to that of the men.
The Indians look down upon their wo-
mankind, and the cigar store people
looked down on the female Indian. A
buck with all his feathers flowing
and the fire of battle in his wooden
eye was worth in the eyes Of the deal
er 500 more than the squaw who
had the same shape. It takes an ex-
pert to tell the difference between a
squaw and buck, even in the natural
stage of the animal, but in the wooden
representation the sexual contrast was
made striking, and acute, and all be-
cause Of the difference in price.-New
Orleans Times Democrat.

Chicago, April 2s.-Legal action

The district attorney and Special Coun-
sci William A. Day, representing At

that it was of more Importance to the
people of the country that the bill
when filed should be as strong as the

FRAUD IN POSTAL CARDS.
Thousands Of Clever Counterfeits
Seized and Maker Arrested by
Postal Inspector in Chicago.

Chicago, April 25.--A post office
fraud involving the issue and circula-
ton of millions of postal cards was
brought to close Thursday by Post
Office Inspector James e. Stuart,
who reported to Washington that he
had arrested Louis Smith and had
confscated over 100000 cards, print
ing presses, cardboard and plates.
To weeks ago Inspector Stuart found
a postal card that had suspicious
look. He at once began an investi-
cation. Four days ago he arrested
Smith, and since then, by the easy
process of private confinement of the
suspect in headquarters at the post.

all that it was necessary to prose

court. For that reason they took no
action Saturday, and would not even
set day for the filing of papers. An
other reason for their attitude is that
every day additional evidence, as al
legged, is coming to them, and their
case is being made stronger.
May Not Be Heard Before June.
The bill, when it is filed, will be a
long document, with a number of af-
fidavits attached, setting forth the
charges against the packers, alleged to
be in combination. A preliminary no
tice will probably be given the attor-
neys for the packers, though that is
matter of courtesy rather than of
obligation. Then the packers will
have a certain time in which to enter
an appearance, and further time in
which to make answer, so if the de-
lays are taken advantage of the case
cannot be heard before June.
The government attorneys are ex-
tremely solicitous that when the
hearing of the case is begun there shall
be no technical loophole of any kind
through which the packers can avoid
an examination of the issues, or even
secure delay.
! May Start Rebate Inquiry.
! Judge Day, it is said, is fully aware
that a large share of the present in
justice to the public and the small re-
tailers comes fromthe alleged unlaw-
full relations of the packers and the
railways in the matter of rates. 1t is
even intimated that certain vice presi-
dents in charge of traffic on some of
the big western railways may be sub
poenaed. For these reasons the pack
iers who formerly expressed no un-
easiness regarding the coming inves-
tigation are now said to appear un-
comfortable every time a suggestion
is made that Judge Day may use the
rebate end to show up the so-called
beef trust.

Z SMALL ECONOMIES.
The Great Change That Has Entered
Into Our Business Methods.

The Great Change That Has Entered
Into Our business Methods.
One thing above all others in this
age Of activity marks the change from
past methods. 1t is that the day of
petty economies has passed. Most mid
die aged men are familiar with the
old Third Reader story of the archery
contest, where the final test came be-
tween the careless boy, who was rather
a better marksman than the careful
one. The careless boy had made final
score that was going to be hard to
beat. AS the careful boy stepped to the
line and pulled the arrow to it's head,
his bowstring snapped. According to
the rules no one could give him anoth-
er, and the careless boy was jubilant
until the careful boy, reaching down
into his pocket, brought out piece Of
whipcord which. he had saved from
package a few days before and with
which he finally won the contest.
This was the old story. There is a
newer one, characteristic Of the pres
ent. In this one a man advertises for
an office boy. Ills choice finally rests
between two bright youngsters, and as
the supreme test he asks that they open
some packages lying on table. This
is easy for Charlie. Charlie takes up
package, unties four hard knots, un-
winds the string, rolls it up around his
fingers, ties it into loop and lays the
string in a safe place. Then, unwrap-
ping the package, he folds the paper
up neatly and lays it on shelf. But
by that time Willie, with his pocket
knife, has slashed the strings on seven
packages, ripped the paper off and
piled the whole mass of rubbish in the
wastebasket. Forty years ago. OF
course, Charlie would have got the job.
Now, however, Willie is business man
ager for the house.
Things have changed. Small econo-
mics hold today as we'll as they ever
did, but they are not the old fashioned
economies that once were worshiped
as virtues. They must be scientific
economies. The days of saving wrap
ping twine are gone. The time for see
ing that not pennyweight more iron
than is necessary should go out in Stag
is here.-President E. j. Burlington of
Illinois Steel Company in Chicago Trib-
une.

COLLEGE GRADUATES.
superintendent Jones Says that Most
Have No Better than High
School Training.

AT the meeting of town and city school
superintendent just closed the subject of
a teachers qualifications was one that was
discussed vigorously and at length. At
that time State Superintendent Frank l..
Jones pointed out that the principal ques-
ton before public school men at the pres
ent time is not so much how thoroughly
qualified teacher shall be, but how to get
any kind of teachers. He gave some figures
to prove that comparatively few teachers
have received more than a good high school
education. The state superintendent has
made out a table showing the exact num-
Der of teachers who have graduated from
colleges or universities, who have gradu-
ated from state or private normal schools,
who have studied year or more in either
kind of school. who have graduated from
a good high school, who have taken year
or more of high-school work and who have
no better than a common school education.
Out of 1904 teachers in the State 1,1S5
are graduates of colleges or universities
Out of S62 teachers in Marion county 100
only have college education and have
diplomas to show for it, The humber of
teachers who have certificates of gradual
ton from state normal schools is LIZA only
few more than graduated, from college.
Marion county has 3S5 of this variety. OF
those who have graduated from private
normal schools there are 1165 In the State
and fifty-one in Marion county. OF teach
ers who have studied one or more years in
normal schools, colleges universities, not
included in the figures just given. there are
$685. Marion county has le9 of these. OF
teachers who are high school graduates,
not including those who are placed in the
figures given, there are 1850. OF these Ma
rion county has las. There are 2.71s teach
ers who have received no training above
common schools, local normal schools or
small high schools.
These are the figures that Superintendent
Jones calls eloquent and to which public
school men who are in favor of nor
NAL school to be established and maintained
by the State call attention. These show,
the statement is made, that Indiana teach
ers have not received the proper training
and that too little attention is given in this
State toward educating a teacher for his
profession. AS might be expected, it is i'm
the townships. in the country schools,
where the teachers are who have had the
least preparation. Out of the 27lS who
have had no better than a common school
education 2,437 teaching country
schools. Only 15S are in the towns and 12S
in the cities.

BOLD BURGLARS ABROAD
SHOTS FROM A REVOLVER FRIGHT
ENED AWAY ONE MARAUDER.
Small Robberies Committed at Sew
eral Houses and Attempts Made
to Enter Others.

Burglars were busy yesterday morning.
and they entered a number of houses. In
all their visits they were but poorly paid
for their trouble. In one instance they
were frightened away by shot from a
revolver. At this place the burglars got as
far as the front porch. 1t was at the
home of Charles Stewart, at 1929 Beville
avenue. Mr.. Stewart was awakened about
4:3O o'clock by the sound of footsteps on
his front porch. He raised window and
called to the person outside. Suddenly he
heard the slam of a screen and saw a man
run from the porch. Mr.. Stewart grabbed
his revolver and fired two shots at the flee
ing burglar. The latter did not gain an
entrance
AT the home of Ruth Gilbert, 512 East
Court street, large man wearing a SLOUGH
hat raised one of the front windows and
put one leg through. Miss Gilbert was
awake at the time and screamed. The man
Withdrew from the room and was seen run
ming west on Court street.
AT the tailor shop of L. Weinberger, IL
Kentucky avenue, burglars stole several
suits of clothes and four overcoats. En-
trance TO this place was gained through
rear window that was pried open.
T. III. Ernst's drug store, at 72S North
West street, was visited by the early morn
boxes of 10-cent cigars, besides a lot of
chewing and smoking tobacco.
Early yesterday morning Captain Kruger
and Sergeant Schwab were called TO the
home of Mrs. T. j. Trussler at No. log Mid
die drive. in Woodruff, to investigate what
was thought to be robbery. Mrs. Truss
Ter, in talking TO the policemen, said she
suspected her colored servant, Pearl Rice,
with having taken a number of articles.
Captain Kruger made a search of the girls
room and found Mrs. Trussler's pocketbook
containing 80 cents.
Kruger found the girl in the kitchen and
questioned her about the other missing
articles The grl at first denied taking any
thing. but later said she took Mrs. Truss
ler's watch and two waists valued at So.
The girl went to her room and pulled the
articles from a trunk. She was arrested
and charged with grand larceny.
While the officers were in Woodruff Eddie
M. Campbell, living at 107 Middle drive,
called them over to his house. He said that
some time during the early morning his
house had been entered by a thief and an
overcoat, trousers and pair of gloves
had been taken.
Another Woodruff Place residence entered
was that of Louis A. Share, at No. 80 West
drive. The burglar entered through the
front door and stole an overcoat, jacket
and pair of gloves from the hall rack.

Hartman expressed the sentiment of his
section Of the county as being in favor OF
leniency to Cantrell. Without his informa-

have continued indefinitely, he says, and
for that reason his punishment should be
light.
