WOMEN BECOMING TALLER.
Outdoor Exercise Responsible for Their
Increased Stature.

do you see that giantess ?h said a
physician to Chicago Tribune man,
as he called attention to an unusually
tall woman in State street.
She was walking across the street
with the stride of soldier. Her head
was erect, her cheeks glowed with the
evidences of pure, fresh, buOyant
health, and her height was six feet at
least.
Now" said the ph hysieian. "look at
this one, and that, and these two, and
another just STOPPING to get into that
ridiculous little brougham. They are
all tall and athletic looking and active.
Look about you among this thrOng OF
handsomely dressed shoppers. Doyou
see any mid-gets among them ?''
There were, indeed. q few short, un-
dersized women. There was, however,
a strange predominance of tall,
straigh ight-stepping, broad-shouldered
women, and the great authority who
had at first called attention to them
made a startling prophecy regarding
future femininity.
''Fifty years from now," he stated,
''the women of the leisured classes
that is, those women whose occupations
do not keep them constantly within
doors-will be six-footers. You see
the evidence before you. Year after
year women have been growing taller
and stronger, save those who work in
Offices and factories. They are exempt
from my prophecy"
"What about them ?'' was asked.
"Ah, that is difficult to say" replied
the doctor, ''but l do not think am
far off in stating that indoor women
will become shorter and less robust.
1 have given much study to this subject
during the last ten years. / have made
minute investigation and careful
tabulation.
81 have seen the golf playing, hook
ey driving, bicycle-riding girl sprout
upward inch by inch year by year, and,
on the other hand, have noted that
the lack of air and exercise has made
a correspondingly deteriorating effect
upon those poor things who are per-
force obliged to work indoors.
"Open windows would do much for
them. In fact. think it would be best
if all employers were made to provide
fresh air, either by way Of windows or
air tubes. Posterity demands fresh
air. Here in the street is your proof,
for all of these strong. tall women are
air-grOwn.
81 have often noted" said the prop
hetic medical expert. "that foreigners
say the tall American woman is vapid,
brainJess, lifeless, all muscle and no
mind. Now am prepared to disprove
that. Where in all the world are w0-
men more intelligent? In Germany /?
Perhaps in the lore Of the cookery
book. In France? Yes, if you confine
the question to the art of the needle.
I'm England? Well, they are rails
ing their own crop of giantesses by the
same simple air process that we have
adopted.
"You have only to go to one of our
problem plays to note that the complex
depths of meaning and the nimblen ess
of the epigram are not lost on our
young giantesses and that implies

RIGHTS OF THE INDIAN.

Tacoma CWash.) News

Tacoma (NdSn.J news
The Indian Rights Association is a nom
partisan, nOn-sectarian organization for
promoting the civilization of the Indian
and for securing his natural and politi-
cal rights. To this end il aims TO collect
and coIiate facts principally through the
personal Investigations of its officers and
agents regarding the Indians relations
with the government and with his own
race concerning his progress in industry
and education. his present and future
needs.
Upon the basis Of facts and of legiti-
mate conclusions drawn from them, the
association appeals 10 the American peO-
pie for the maintenance of such a just
and wise policy upon the part Of the ex-
ecutive and Congress in dealing with these
helpless wards Of the Nation as may dis
courage fraud and violence. promote edu-
cation. obedience to law and honorable
labor. and finally result in the complete
absorption Of the Indian into the common
life of the Nation.
The executive committee of the asso-
citation is convinced that the present out
look for the Indian in this country is par
ticularly bright and the chief reason for
this hopeful assurance is found in the at
tltude Of President Roosevelt No man in
the country is believed 10 have a fuller
or more practical sympathy with the In
dian than he. nor a better understanding
OF their condition and needs.

member OF the Civil-service Commission he
lated 10 Kidding the Indian service OF the
malaria of the spells system. One or the
last efforts made by Mr.. Roosevelt when
he was Governor of New York aimed TO
inaugurate o thorough system Of indus
trial training for the Indian tribes still liv-
ing in New York State"
Some years ago Mr.. Roosevelt made
an address at a meeting of the association
which abounded in practical suggestions
and fully disclosed his attitude toward the
Indian. As TO what he will be able as
President to do TO improve the condition
OF the red man the association is not pre-
pared TO predict, but a recent Washing
ton dispatch to the Boston Transcript is
quoted as a fair indication OF the policy
he will adopt.
The substance of the dispatch was that
the President had gone over the Indian
situation carefully with the Indian COM
missioners and that some radical changes
were to be made along the lines recon-
mended by the commissioner, looking in
q general way toward removing those in
fluences which tend 10 pauperize the In
clan. Rations will generally be cut off and
instead OF paying annuitics on Indian funds
the aim will be to use the money in local
improvements.
The government will work for the more
rapid breaking up OF tribal relations al
though the process will be necessarily
slow. President Roosevelt certainly enjoys
the utmost confidence OF the people who
ere especially interested in the welfare of
the American Indian.

A. Model Conductor.
Kansas City Star.


William Killey, the street car conductor
who dropped dead while on duty yesterday
afternoon, as his car was nearing Thir-
teenth street on Grand avenue, had been
in the service for nearly eighteen years.
That is no mean praise. II is a great thing
for man In any undertaking in which he
is engaged TO be thoroughly possessed OF
all is worth doing well. There is no posi-
ton so humble which may not be digni-
fled, to a degree, by an infiexible adherence
to this policy. Mental functions. whatever
they may be, only become more mental by
sighting them.
who sweeps a room as in Gods sight
Makes it and the action fine"
But to be a model street car conductor
implies the possession of unusual and ad-
fidelity and thorough eQuipoise. The pub
lie Is always so busy in contemplating the
inevitab bic trials TO which il is subjected in
going and coming in q busy place like
Kansas City that il has little time TO think
of the annoyance of the trainmen, which
all of the questions he is asked in the
course of a days run, who looks after all
of the passengers who board and leave his
car, who is asked to furnish forethought
and act a clairvoyant for passengers
who fail to state their wants, who lends
his ear 10 complaints regarding abuses and
limitations for which he is not responsible,
who makes change for people who can I
be made to see that it is right-the man
who does all this day after day, without
losing his temper and making himself of
fensive, is of such stuff as heroes and mar
tyrS are made.
1t is proper to speak a word of praise
for the model conductor, to honor his mem
DRY, and TO venture the hope that his tribe
may increase.

VIOLENTLY LOYAL.
Boston Pilot in Agony over the Plans
for the Coronation.
MILWAUKEE, Sentinel.


President Roosevelt's coronation en-
bassy appointments have given the Boston
Pilot an acute attack of mental dyspepsia.
1t would hardly be possible to crowd more
spiteful filings and editorial pure cussed-
ness" generally into an article occupying
the same space than to be found in this
agOniZed screed of the Pilots. General dis
approval of the sending Of an embassy to
the coronation of a successor of George III
seems to be at the bottom of the Pilots
trouble, though piecrust and other trying
local staples Of diet may have aggravated
the distress.
1t is upon the head of President Roose-
welt the man held responsible for the en-
bassy and it's personnel, that the Walls of
the PlIot pilons wrath are Tor the most
part emptied. The President, we are told,
smitten with anglomania Roosevelt an an
glomaniacD, has committed this country
TO act of vassalage calculated to make
freedom shrek a great deal louder than
she did when Kosciusko fell. He is turn
ing us over politically, lock, stock and bar
REL to the tyrants of the old world. He
proposes to make of US a "royalty-wor-
Shipping nation" ruled by the divine right OF
kings. He has imperiled the republican
theory of government and ffouted the BOs-
ton tea party. He is spending hundreds
of thousands of the peoples money for
this OBSERVATIONS display of servility''
which "other powers will not be slow to
.resent'-all this and much more the poten-
tate at the White House is charged with
doing. -and the Pilot is perfectly willing to
sign a round robin for his reinforcement.
What the Pilot and the sect of political
mossbacks who agree with il in condemning
President Roosevelt on this embassy ques-
ton appear to hold is that boorish behavior
toward other nations is for Americans a
mark of loyalty to republican institutions.
They would have us abstain from all in
ternational courteSieS and amenities, wrap
ourselves up in mantle of surly self-suffi-
cheney and repel with political pharisaism
the friendly advances of other governments.
So convinced are they of the frailty of the
Nations republican virtue that they are
in state of chronic despair of its preser-
walton. Their misgivings are groundless.
AS for President Roosevelt, he is, as the
Pilot well knows, American of Ameri-
cans-one of the last men in the country
TO yield to anglOmania or francomania or
any other mania of that sort.

The story that comes from Pittsburg
about the desperate encounter between law
officers and escaped murderers is rather
hshy in appearance. The statement that the
two criminals and their woman companion
fired on a group OF eight men without in
turing any OF them. and that two detec-
tives,' who only figure in the actual shoot
ing, walked up on all three and shot them
down is less than credible. The claim that
the woman had a pistol I'm each hand and
that she fired every shot but one at the Of

self. will not be believed without further
testimony When the truth is known il
