INDIAN BEAUTIES,

some or the wild strain OF strong Indian
blood yet running In their veins which give

A writer in Worlds Work makes q
comparison of ten years ago and now
and says there is no better antidote foI
dependency than TO take measure OF
your own community as il was ten
years ago and as il is today-unless you
live IN an unrepresentative and stagnant
community. You will be likely to find
the roads or the streets better than they
were, the railroad service better, the
postal service, possibly even the tele-
graph and telephone service; you will
observe better houses more attractive
grounds; the people are better clad. or
are more well-clad. Inside their houses
you will find more books or better, more
bath rooms, better lights and better
furniture. A larger proportion of
children and youth are receiving good
training at better schools. All this
means more than prosperous years. 1t
means a higher level of life and "A
stronger ambition. The well being Of
the people of the United States is rising
higher and especially is il diffusing it
self wider. Life is constantly becoming
more comfortable aud moro cheerful as
well as longer and safer leading, to
better conditions for intellectual growth
