There were about twenty-five of the youg peo- pie present and they played games and otherwise entertained themselves.

A BRUTAL ACT.

An aggravated case Of brutality has
reached us from reliable source, TO
the effect that a six weeks old pup that
was presented to a little daughter OF
the superintendent OF the boarding
school here by friend and member OF
this reservation, had been thrown from
the second story window OF the school
to the frozen ground below where II
Law until picked up bruised and bleed
ing, by kind and human little hands,
though brown and bronzed in color,
which gave it the most tender care.
On the following day one OF the en-
ployes in the presence of the "school
mess" made the unenyiable admission
that he had thrown the pup out OF Il
window and one of the lady teachers
sitting at the table was courageous
enough to take him to task for his
wanton cruelty to the helpless, NIUE
dumb animal, and administered well
merited rebute. ;,
This act of cruelty, following as IL
does graver charges against the en-
ployee referred to, is deserving OF the
seyerest censure, and we trust that
agent Michelet will take steps to curb
the ungoyernable passions OF this man.

SCOTT STANDS FIRM.
RED LAKE AGENT FORWARDS TO PRESI.
DENT HIS ADVICE RELATIVE TO
THE INDIAN BILL.

Cass Lake, Minn., April Major
George L. Scott, acting Indian agent
at Onigum, has returned to Walker.
While here he received a letter from
Indian Commissioner Jones saying
that thet president had verbally or
dered him to ask that the major for
ward all correspondence and copy OF
all instructions OF advice given to the
Indians or to the governmentemployes
relative to the bill for the Red Lake
Indians.
Mai. Scott had anticipated this, and
had just been at the Red Lake agency
and held a council with the Indians.
He explained to them the good and
bad features of the bill, and read his
instruction from type written copy.
He gave copy to the Catholic preach
er and to the Indians, and will for
ward copy to the Indian commission
er for the president.
Mai. Scott is opposed to the Dill: lie
thinks as Indian agent he should De
true to the Indians and protect their
interests. He would rather lose his
position than to do any act that ne
thought wrong, and he feels that the
bill is an injustice to the Red Lake
Indians. minneapolis Tribune.
Within the grateful hearts OF the
Chippewas of White Earth there dwell
a profound feeling Of universal appre-
citation for the noble, fearless munlfi-
cient attitude Major Scott has assum-
ed in relation to the Red Lake Act
and in the interest of their Red Lake
kindred. Would that there were more
like him in the Indian service.
Here's luck to you Major and your
righteous advocacy OF Indian rights
and fair play.

Spaying Animals.

From Farmers Review: The prac.
tice of spaying females to prevent re-
production is almost abandoned. The
early maturing animal scarcely gets
old enough for reproduction until it is
sent to the market. This was a COM
mon practice in earlier days when
hogs were allowed to run at large and
were kept one or two years befsre
sending them to the market. Rather
than run the risk of losing any of the
animals by an operation, it is a better
method to keep the gifts until seven to
nine months old and then sell them.
One month of pregnancy is not objec-
tionable in the sow. If allowed to run
near time of narrowing, however, ths
animal, of course, is unfit for market
No animal should be castrated or spay-
ed Immediately after weaving. The
latter alone tends to check growth and
the young animal should become &C
customed to doing without its fayorite
food before it's system is shocked by
castration--W. B. Anderson.

Norman and Mar

Every war in which this nation has
engaged has been directly urged and
encouraged by women. The martial
enthusiasts preceding the civil war,
North and South, were women. Many
man is resting in his grave, the vic
tim of that war, who enlisted because
girls refused to keep company" with
him if he didn't Women were fore
most in exciting the war spirit, and
they were the most irreconcilable to
its results. Southern women cherish
the faded tinselry of the Confederate
dream, and Northern women are the
most furious over memories Of the
prolonged slaughter which they helped
to provoke. 1t was the same in the
late Spanish war.-Washington Post.

is she intended to be a departure
from the type of vessel that proved so
mastery in the Defender. When Mr..
Iselin told reporter that he had de-
cided to have a keel boat instead of
centerboard craft like Vigilant, the
whole yachting fraternity was aston
ished. 1t seemed to be a departure
from all recognized rules and defeat
was predicted. But Mr.. Iselin was
right, as the event proved, and he
gave Mr.. Herreshoff all the credit. If
Iselin had had his own way the De-
fender would have been a center
board ship. But it was destined other
wise. The Defender was the first
keel vessel of cutter rig to defend
the Americas cup and to prove that
the Britishers would be successfully
met on their own stamping ground.

In spite OF the presumably correct
dispatches from Bristol, R. l., to the
newspapers, work on the new candi-
date for cup-defending honors is quite
backward instead of forward. 1t is
true that the lead keel is cast, but the
weight has been given wrongly as
ninety tons. The actual weight is five
tons more. The keel, or bulb as it
should more rightly be termed, has
been sheathed with bronze, but that is
all at present that is in shape.
Judging from this standpoint, which
does not amount to very much, it
appears that Nat Herreshoff has no
intention of departing in great
measure from the lines which did
lin such great service il Defender,

named craft is spoken of advisedly

THINK THE LANCE OBSOLETE
Russia Has Determined to Arm Cav

Russia Has Determined to Arm Cav
airy With Sword Alone.
The Russian government is about
TO reorganize it's cavalry, and by TAX
ing away some of the arsenal of arms
with which cavalry is equipped will
bring the mounted service nearer to
being mounted infantry than any cav
airy in Europe.
Profiting by the Cape war lessons,
cavalry commanders have declared
for the mounted infantry principle of
quick movements and stunning rifle
fire, and as a result the lance will be
done away with. The Cossack will
lose his famous arm, which will make
him discontinued, but the authorities
declare that it is a choice between
the sword and the lance, and that, al
though the latter is the more formid-
able, it is the more cumbersome, and
betrays the presence of cavalry to an
enemy.
Russian commanders say that the

because she never had justice done
her in her trial races. AS a matter Of
fact, she is the fastest racing machine
Of her length ever turned out by the
Herreshoffs.
Nat Herreshoff says he can produce
something swifter than Columbia and
Constitution, and that this craft
whose lead keel has just been laid is
the boat. 1t will be some time before
the yacht takes the shape of a ship.
There has been delay in the delivery
of the nickel steel of which the
frames are to consist. The bronze
plating from Ansonia is also slow in
coming along, and this is another
cause of trouble.
Enough, however, is known about
the new boat to make it certain that
neither in design nor in construction

sword will be sufficient for such close
quarter work as may occur in modern
war, and in taking away the lance
the mobility of the cavalry will be
much increased.
Russia has always recognized the
advantage of the rifle for mounted
men, and for years the cavalryman
carried one. Her decision to discard
the lance is equivalent to a declaration
that shock tactics by wave of cav
airy is more or less over. This is in
direct conflict with the opinion OF
British cavalry officers, and is also of
interest from the fact that the native
cavalry in India think SO much of the
lance.
Russia means to subordinate every
thing to mobility and musketry fire.
and in this they follow Napoleon, who
declared that fire was everything and
the rest of small account
