Beyond Belief.

When Abraham Lincoln was a young
man, his prodigious strength and his
skill in wrestling were matters of note
throughout central Illinois. Few in.
deed were the men who could boast of
having laid him on his back.
Somewhere along in the thirties there
was case on trial in one Of the circuit
courts in that section in which an eff
fort was made to impeach the testimo'
ny Of one Of the witnesses. The evi,
dence was conflicting. Some would
believe the witness on oath and others
would not.
At last a middle aged man with q de-
termined expression of countenance
was called to the stand. The usual
question was put touching the reputa.
ton of the witness for truth and verac-
ity:
would you believe him ON oath?"
mo, l wouldn't" he answered, and
before the lawyer on the opposite side
could interpose he gave his reason:

attempt to impeach was successful

A Shrewd Yankee,

A certain Boston hotel man tells this
good story at his own expense:
When small boy on the farm, his
folks often sent him to the neighbors
to buy dozen eggs when their hens
failed to lay enough. s>'"'''.'.s'"''.'
He noticed that the old farmer al
ways held each egg before lighted
candle and examined it carefully In
his innocence of Yankee shrewdness
the boy supposed that this was prompt
ed more by honesty and intention to
detect whether the eggs were bad or
not.
One day, however, when he counted
his eggs, according to custom, there
were only eleven in the basket.

THE INDIAN MUST WORK
Commissioner Jones Will Recon-
mend It to MNd Pauperiza-
tion of the Red Man.
Neto York, S.ss. Special Ser.vtcs

Chicago, Aug. 2S.--William E. Curtis
In Washington special to the Record
Herald, in speaking of the policy of the
government toward the Indian, says that
While there has been gratifying progress
In the domestication of the Indians during
the last few years, and the frontier is
never again to be troubled with Indian
disturbances, the time has come when the
policy Of the government toward its wards
must be changed in order that many Of
them may not be entirely pauperized.
Mr.. Jones of Wisconsin, who has made
most satisfactory commissioner of In
dian affairs. in his anual report, will re-
new his recommenda ton to congress to
gradually abolish the practice of issuing
rations and compel all able bodied In .
dians to work for their living. He is con-
vinced that the present policy has ten
dency to pauperzatiOn. and that a certain
proportion of the Indians will never be-
come self-supporting as long the gov
ernment is willing to feed them.
Indians are human beings, and must be
treated as such, and if the government
feeds them much longer, it will be COM
PEELED to do so perpetually. SThe longer a
change in the policy is postponed the
more difficult it will be. and while it Is
scarcely possible to make the old Indians
self supporting, the young men and the
children that are growing up should be
sentenced to earn their bread by the per-
spiratiOn Of their brows.
Another question of imperative .impor
tance that must bet settled in compulsory
education. If the Indian is ever to be
completely civilized; if he is to
be compelled to earn his living
in competition with white mon, he
must be educated and to be edu
Gated he must go to school: and if he
will not go voluntarily he must be COM
PEELED to do so. AS rule. Indian fathers
and mothers are Indifferent to whether
their children attend the agency schools or
not. and the teachers receive very little
aid from them in keeping up the attend
ance. The children themselves do not like
to study any more than whites Of similar
age, and have still less appreciation Of
the advantage of learning. Hence the
average attendance is very low compared
with the number of children Of school age,
and the commissioner will urge the pun
ishnent of parents who do not send their
children to school.

TOUR OF GEN. MILES
He Will Visit the Capitals Of Europe
Before Returning to the
..- - .N-
United States.
No Time Limit Has Been Placed on
His Trip-Extensive Prep
arations.
Ne.o York, Sun Special So.vtoa

Washington, Aug. 2S.-General Miles
will make his contemplated visit to the
Philippines the occasion for a prolonged
tour of Europe on his way back to the
United States next winter. He will return
by way Of the Suez canal and disembark
from his transport at some port on the
Mediterranean. He will visit Athens.
Rome, Madrid and Lisbon and then pro-
ceed north, taking in Vienna. Berlin and
Paris.
Before he leaves the continent the gen
eral will probably pay visit to st.
Petersburg. London will be his last stop
ping place in Europe before sailing for
the United States. He is not expected to
arrive at New York before June 1 next.
The lieutenant general will be accom-
panied by military suite consisting of at
least three Of his present aids. Colonel
Whitney can, if he wishes, and Captain
Reber will be in the party.
The president has given his full assent
to the lieutenant generals plan. He ap
preciates that this will be the last chance
the veteran soldier will have to mingle
with his brothers in arms in Europe as the
active head of the American army to re-
ceive the honors and homage which await
every soldier of General Miles rank and
brilliant service recod. General Miles was
denied the privilege Of attending the COR
onaton of King Edward as the repre-
the president quarreled with him. Gen.
eral James H. Wilson was selected for
that honor.
1t was understood as long ago as last
November that General Miles was desir-
Gus Of going to London in an official ca
pacity during the coronation for the
chance it would offer him subsequently,
to visit the army headquarters Of several
European powers. He wanted to round
out his active career a soldier in that
way. His proposed visit to the Philip
pines offered him the opportunity which
friend Of the president that he would like
Europe and that he would be especially
pleased II no time limit was placed on
his trip. The president understood the
old soldiers ambition and assented.
At the war department, even among the
generals friends there is belief that his
application for permission to visit the
Philippines was In part suggested by the
opportunity the visit would offer to make
a tour of Europe. There is also a belief
in quarters not friendly to the general
that one reason why the president as
sented to the Philippines trip was because
he was desirous of getting the command
er Of the army as far away from Washing
ton as possible.
Extensive preparations for the general s
departure are now going forward at the
war department. A lieutenant general
does not depart for an absence that may
last from seven to eight months every
day, but when one does go the entire de-
partment participates in the preparation
