The Indian has always been the
most interesting savage OF all the I'M
civilized people found in the world.
Why this is so | am unable to say
yet it is true. as you will admit, when
you think a moment. No other saw
age is ever referred to or made the
hero of a romance. He does not ap-
pear in the books. except in pure his
tory. Small boys play Indian, but
they do not play Negro, or Chinaman
7ior South Sea Islander, but it is al
ways Indian.
How many late books have been
written in which the American Indian
gives the touch Of danger and tragedy?
James Fenimore Cooper made his fame
writing books in which the Indian was
the central figure.
LongfellOw's famous poem. ''Hia-
watha." concerns an Indian legend
out Of which much romance is taken
when one takes a look at an Indian
reservation. But they are the most
interesting and the most peculiar OF
all savages that l have ever heard

about. There is a peculiar fascina-
ton about them, and whether they
would be as interesting if they had
remained harmless is a moOted ques,
ton. They worshipped Columbus and
his men as angels. They soon dis
covered their mistake. Those Span
iards may have been angels. but they
didn't work at it much. Their treat
nlent Of the Indian is one Of brutality
and oppression uneXcelled.
The Musquakies no doubt are the
descendants of the same guileless
tribes that were seen by Columbus.
But they are no longer guileless. They
are as smooth as anybody. The first
man [ saw when 1 got to the reser-
walton was Push-e- tO-neke-Qua. Hon.
Albert jackson was my companion.
He slapped the big chief on the back
and said: You are Democrat,
aren't you?" Push-e-to-neke-qua

his eye, being uncertain of my pOliti-
cal utilization, and replied, Bose"

he not to be a statesman? He cannot
read or write, yet he understands our
theory and plan Of government as well
as nine-tenths of the voters. and bet
ter than many of them.
He is magnificent specimen of ply
steal manhood. He had just come in
from a swim which he had had in the
, Iowa River. He was half sitting, half
living on his side and elbow when we
came up, and when he recognized my
companion he smiled, which is the
only salutation most Of them give. We
shook hands with him, and he does not
know anything about the high up"
handshake which is fashionable among
the scions Of correct conduct and the
readers of the Ladies' Home Journal.
but he gave a hearty handshake which
counted.
He informed US that he had been
swimming. but he does not talk En-
glish f1uentIy. He talks only fragment
tary words. He does not make COM
piete sentences. never having studied
grammar very extensively. 1t is said
he speaks and writes his own Ian
guage very well, indeed And l can
Imagine how he would be eloquent
and forceful in anything he wished
to say. He has a voice which is
deep, resonant and musical, and the
words roll from his tongue like water

purple, no doubt, but when I saw
him he was more the color Of piece.

would dissolve as quickly as it had
risen if it were gently blown upon.
This was the substance of Salisbury's
speech. His persuasive mildness had
its effect. The approving murmurs
were louder than before. The timid
members of the council were embold-
ened to speak out in the same vein.
The advocates of stronger measure s
were overborne by the majority, and
in the end it was resolved as COM
promise that the king should be rowed
down next morning in bis barge to
Rotherhithe; safe distance from the
Tower, and that the rebels should be
invited to meet him there and state
their grievances. Against those who
urged that their desire to speak with
the king in person was palpable trick
to get him into their power, it was
pointed out that he need not land, but
only hear them and speak with them
from his barge.
This was agreed to. But there was
one dissentient-the lord high chan
cellor. Sudbury listened in contempt
when they had done, desired in digni-
fed and sarcastic language to be re-
lieved of the great seal. He ha:
striven, he said, to do his duty as a
humble servant of the king, but if it
we're desired to pacify the rebellious
people, nothing could be more pleas
ing to them than the removal oi the
hated counsellor at whose door they
laid all their wrongs.
In the end the chancellor was taken
at his word, and the great seal was re-
sumed by the king himself, and re-
NAMED in his keeping during the next
two days. 1t is possible that nobody
about the king was hardy enough to
take the responsibility of the claws
regni. The next use to which it was
to be put is one of the most singular in
its history.

How IIOvelVs

Dear to the feminine heart is the ad-

delphia school girls had an experience
the other day which will cause them
to be more chary In the use of the
word hereafter. They were riding in
trolley car and discussing various
things Of interest to girlish minds and
the car reverberated with How love-
ly" calculated in chorus over and over
again. Finally an old gentleman, who
had been sitting in corner Of the
car, moved about in his seat. He APP
peared to be about to say something.
Just then the car stopped. The con-
ductor passed from the rear of the car
to the front to learn what was the
trouble. Just as he opened the front
door gust of wind blew In the odor
from garbage cart, which had struck
rut in the road and had collapsed.
AS the breeze struck the nOstrils Of
the girls one Of them remarked:
"Oh, such horrid smell.'

seat and almost shouted, "Pm glad,

CHAPTER XXV.

AS soon as the council rose tn, king
FASTENED to his mothers apartments in
high delight at the prospect Of exercis-
ing some part of his sovereignty. No
sense of the gravity of the situation
damped his boyish spirits. He vas as
excited as at the anticipation of q
tournament or a hawking party, where
the sport might be expected to be par
ticularly good. 1t must be remembered
that he was only in his fifteenth year.
The princess was not elaborate in
her instructions to Ralph Hardelot.
He was to be the bearer of message of
general sympathy and good will; her
keen woman's judgment, sharpened by
the urgent danger, taught her that the
precise terms of formal commission
would be out of place. "You have
seen," she said, "that my son is of a
gentle disposition; that nature hath
made him to he kind and gracious
lord to his people, lover of justice, a
hater of oppression; that = is not in
his heart to see the poor and weak
wronged and pillaged by the rich and
strong, but that they may trust him to
hear and redress their reasonable
plants, as God and conscience constrain
him. Yon have seen this, and trust
you to make it known"
Ralph Loyalty and reverently accept
ed the commission. He believed in
his heart that the mother had rightly
read her sons character.
When Ralph had gone the princess
embraced her son. Courage, my fair
son." che said; "your kingdom will
yet be saved in spite of treachery."
In the evening Ralph was rowed
down from the Tower to Greenwich.
At the suggestion OF the princess he had
resumed the distinctive dress of
Wycliffian priest; it might serve as a
passport. The long day was closing as
he climbed the hill towards Blackheath
and looked back on the cleaning river
and the distant towers and spires.
A few light words from his brother
that afternoon had haunted him and
filled his thoughts more than all the
public tumult, which seemed 80 distant

Intervention OF the princess had been
successful; dispensation had come at
last from the hateful union. The
princess had said nothing of this; the
mothers heart was full of nearer and
greater anxieties, and il any thought of
it crossed her mind the terrors of the
situation banished her benevolent de-
signs in this slight affair till more
fitting occasion. There would be a
time to make lovers happy when her
sons kingdom was saved. And Ralph
had not exchanged word with Clara.
But he had seen her; their eyes had

his sense of public duty was not abated.

waited and hallowed, his whole being

Love, which he had held at bay so long,
had taken him as il at unswares, had
rushed in upon him, sweeping away
every barrier, and esta blished itself in
full mastery.

DRUG HABIT is INCREASING.
Even Physicians Become Slaves to tho
Deadly Morphine Practice.

Even Physicians Become Slaves to the
Deadly Morphine Practice.
It is estimated by those who profess
to know whereof they affirm that there
are at least 10000 persons in the Uni
ted States who are victims OF morphine
and 10 per cent Of American physicians
are slaves to opium in some form. ac-
cording to statement adopted by the
Medical News. All recent estimates, the
same authority asserts, moreover, lnui-
cate that the use Of morphine not only
as a drug to allay pain, but also as an
intoxicant, is daily becoming an In
creasing evil.
A physician to whom this statement
was quoted by Sun reporter express
ed some doubt as to the extent OF the
evil so far as the medical profession IS
concerned, but said that the general
estimate was rather under than over
the mark.
1.-THE demand for morphine In the
drug stores is increasing at an alarm
ing rate" said this physician. franc
in the drug is restricted by law, but the
law Is practically Intellectual. Any NOR
phine fend who needs a supply knows
how to obtain 1t. and does obtain 1t
readily enough. and apparently one
user of the drug makes many more.
Before long there Is sure to be cry
for increased restriction. What Is need
ed. however, Is not 80 much new law,
but the strict enforcement Of the pres
ent one and vigorous prosecution or
those who connive at the Illicit traffic
In the stuff"
Whether or not 1t Is possible to cure
the confirmed morphine eater after the
habit has reached serious stage Is
still the subject Of debate among phy-
sicians. There are also differences or
opinion as to the best treatment, al
though the authorities agree now that
institutional treatment or the services
Of trained nurse to Outwit the cum
ming aroused in the patient by the crav-
ing for the drug are essential to success.
Baths and exercise In the open air
form an important part Of the newest
treatment advocated, and 1t Is laid
down that there Is practically a GER
tainty Of relapse unless the treatment
Is prolonged to three months. oftener to
six.
The sudden withdrawal OF the drug
by friends or relatives, horror-stricken
over the discovery of the disease, has
resulted in many cases in fatal col
lapse. Substitution Of some other opium
derivative has now been rejected as un-
satisfactory.
Gradual withdrawal Of it or tapering

ity Of cases, and In some cases lessen
