The United States secret service had
Its origin In the early sixties under the
auspices of the war department. 1t ac-
tually grew out of the fact of Captain
Lafayette +. Baker of the Union army
offering his services to Secretary Sew
ard as police scout TO gather informa
ton concerning the Confederate army.
During the war the United States be-
gan the issuance of greenbacks. Then
came the first appearance of green
goods" men. By an act Of congress In
1861 or 1862 $4,000 was appropriated
for the maintenance of Bakers service
to suppress counterfeiting. The super
vision of the service was then under

TAME FISH IN A RIVER.

promptly fed by the Burmans.
The fish We're amazingly tame and

thirty-three OF them, varying in size
from eighteen inches to three and u

n girth ut the glls of about thirty inch

back whenever they were called
| The Villagers told me-and see no
reason to doubt what they say-that
these same fish come UP against the
monsoon flood at the end of June and
| go away about October every year.
They can recognize individual fish by
marks, scars. etc. which they pointed
out to me.

INDIAN DAY SCHOOLS
 NEXT DISTRICT SCHOOLS
For the Two Races Recommended by
 Miss Reel.

Washington, November 27.-Estelle Reel, superintendent of Indian schools, has submitted her annual report to the commissioner of Indian affairs. Shs notes a marked advance in industrial training and says the course of study prescribed has materially assisted the Indian youth in learning agriculture as a means of self-support, while the girls have benefited by the classroom curriculum which fits them for the du- ties and responsibilities of the home.
 The outing system and systematic transfer of pupils is strongly recon mended A plea is made for improved and better equipped day schools these later to give way to district schools at - tended by both races. The enrolment of 1902. she says. was 2S.61O. Miss Reel refers to the gradual disappearance of the blanket Indian and the general inn provement in the condition of the race.
