man over land and sea, it will nerve him
to untold hardships. It will drive him
to herculean efforts and hold him
steadily at his task until strike is made

A PLEA FOR REFORM.
Government Schools Kill Scores of
Indian Children.
Seventy Per Cent. of Fatalities Due
to Consumption Which Is the
Direct Result of Oyercrowd-
ed Dorm it cries.

Rev. D. A. Sanford pastor Of the Epis-
copal church at Bridgeport, Okla, is con-
tinuing his Investigations regarding the
cause of the great and increased death
rate among the Indians of this country
In his work as minister. he has been
connected with Indian missionary serV-
ice and is well informed regarding In
dian conditions generally. He makes
the statement that an investigation OF
the Indian school system would show
more sensational developments than the
alleged Indian frauds in Indian Territory.
Rev. Sanford returned during the week
from trip to Wisconsin, where he Wis
tied among the Winnebago Indians and
gives out the following statement for
publications:
Like many other tribes the Winneba-
goes are divided; part in Nebraska, part
in Wisconsin. In Wisconsin they now
number about 1910, marked decrease
in the tribe. On visit to Tomah, Wis,
in September, when an annual payment
of about $40 per capita was being made
the tribe, l learned some interesting
facts. Mr.. George Kingsley, an educated
Winnebago, employed as government
Interpreter, told me that the death rate
is lafge-that 20 per cent. Of the deaths
are from one Source alone, consumption.
From various sources learned that the
use of whisky is very common. One
well-informed man said that one-half
OF the Winnebagoes drink whisky when
they can get it. He told me how whisky
is openly sold in the saloons in one town
(Blacli River Falls) to the Indians.
Il visited the government boarding
school for Indians at Tomah. The chill

Chippewas. In many respects the equip

able coats built of this pseudo-fuc be-
ing procurable for the sum of a very
few dollars Moleskin seems to lend
itself particularly well to imitation,
for there is also on view in many
shops very cozy-looking material
called molemusquash, which likewise
has the undoubted advantage of not
making a very perceptible hole in
ones purse. Shaved squirrel is being
successfully initiated in fine gray
plush, while the bogus chinchilla, sad
to relate, does not do its inventors so
much credit, insomuch as very few
people recognize its relation to the
real fur without q few explanations be-
forehand.
Early winter. walking gowns are of
the most elaborate Modes. OF the two
shown in the illustration the one
which is trimmed SO tastefully with
fur is made in ivory-white corduroy,
with quite a new kind Of skirt. very
finely plated, and adorned near the
hem with two bands of beaver. An
original trimming, which runs in long
lines from the waist. to the hem, con-
sists of applique discs OF beaver-col-
ored velvet surrounded with little en-
broidered wheels in black and white
mohair braid This effective trimming
appears also on the bodice, which is
cut with coat-shaped sides and ar
ranged also with cape epaulettes of the
ivory-white corduroy bordered with
beaver. The waistbelt is of beaver
colored velvet. finished with loops and
ends at the back below the waist.
while the upper sleeves are made OF
corduroy, and the under sleeves OF
tucked chiffon, drawn into beaver vel
vet cuffs. adorned with ivory-white
silk braid. =
The other gown is made in very fine
white faced cloth. The plated skirt
has short tucked drapery of cloth on
either side, while down the center of
the front there is wide panel Of very
handsome trimming consisting Of cir
cular motifs of white embroidered gui-
pure, trimmed with gathered frills of
white Valenciennes lace. Similar mo-
tifs in larger size appear at intervals
upon the skirt bordered with white
silk tassels. The bodice is arranged
with similar kind of trimming laid
over deep yoke of tucked white chif-
fon, which covers the whole Of the up
per part. The full sleeves are also of
deeply tucked chiffon trimmed with
motifs of ivory-white lace. This gown

GOLD seekers in that direction, and Of
late years the Black Hills. Cripple Creek,
Alaska and British Columbia have
yielded their gold and drawn the hordes
of gold seekers to the fields that prem
Used fortunes quick and certain. More
and more gold is being taken out of the
Yukon region each year. miners continue
to go there and stake out claims, but the
first fever Of the gold strikes In the frozen
north has subsidized. And now comes
news of discoveries In South Australia
which may send the gold hunters from
the far north to the far south.
It is said that 1t Is only necessary to
expend capital and labor on the gold
fields recently discovered there to in
crease the gold returns Of the colony
hundredfold. The government geologist
lately made report on the White Range
mines, in the northern territory Of the
state, giving the history Of mining In
that district. The White Range is situ-
ated at Arltunga, in the Macdonald
ranges, some 10 miles northward Of Alice
Spring telegraph station, which latter
place is $50 miles northward Of Oodna-
data, the present terminus of the Trans
continental railway. Oodnadatta Is $50
miles from Adelaide by rail
Gold was first discovered In the White
range in 1897. The conditions in which
the metal occurs are peculiar. No de-
fined lodes have yet been met with.
There are large outcrops Of quartz. but
these have no true walls separating them
from the country rock; the quartz occur
ring in large irregular shaped masses and
blocks, enclo.ed III and intermixed with
the quartzite. The gold occurs mostly
in Cellular quartz and gossan, the greater
proportion Of 1t being In very fine dust.
Wherever seams OF cellular quartz are
found traversing the quartz and quartz
tie, they appear to be an indication Of
the presence Of gold. The stone obtained
from the workings is broken and sifted:
the solid white quartz is rejected. and
the cellular quartz, gossan, and siitings
are saved for treatment ct the govern
ment battery.
The chief difficulty at present with
which the prospectors have to contend
is, of course, the great distance of the
fields from Adelaide. The track is long

A New York scientist has discovered
recently a method for manufacturing
stone which he announces considerably
improves upon nature. The new stone
is called "polladite." 1t is harder than
most natural stone, and may, be manu-
featured quickly and at comparative
slight expense. "Palladite" is the in
vention of Mr. w. Pallard Foote, of
Yonkers, New York, who has given the
discovery his name. The chemically pre-

WHY rros. Are Alv.y, Cold.

Many boys have probably wondered
why frogs are cold to the touch, and
some of them look upon these little
creatures with sort of horror, believ-

is not the case, for they not only have
blood, but they possess nerves and cay
