WORKS AMONG RED MEN.
White woman Who Travels Without
Fear and Alone In the In
terests of Educati0n.

One of the brayest and best workers
for the civiiizing Of the Indians on the
reservations is white woman. Her
name is Estelle Reel, she halls from
Wyoming and she holds the important
position OF superintendent of Indian
schools for the United States, says the
Washington Star. Miss Reel is young
woman of attractive personality and
great courage. She travels alone among
the Indians in the remotest and widest
parts of the country The fiercest-look-
ing brave has no power to brighten her,
and her dauntless pluck has naturally
won the indiana respect and esteem as
nothing else would have done.
The young superintendent is perform
ing hei. work in a manner which reflects
credit on Womanhood. AS result a
marked Improvement is noticeable in
the education of the Indian all over the
country. Each year Miss Reel travels
from coast to coast to study the various
needs Of the reservation schools and
compare their results with other schools
in more settled districts During her
first year of Office she travelled seven
months, becoming acquainted with the
various tribes and the methods used in
civilizing them. Much of the distance
was covered by stage and wagon. 1t is
largely due to her personal observation
that the schools show greater efficiency
that at any other time during their his
tory.
Congress has faculty of appropriate
ing money for Indian schools without
definite idea of where they are to be
located. The representative in Wash
ington knows little or nothing of the
wilds of Arizona. Another reason for
the inaccessibility of the schools is that
they are frequently established near
reservations for which the Indian pur-
posely chose remote locations. Miss
Reel often travels through parts of the
country where there is not even wagon
road
Her most perilous journey is up the
Colorado river. She is obliged to board
barge and take a two days journey
on the river, accompanied only by two
Indians Teachers who have come a
long distance from the east protest that
they cannot go when they get this far,
but Miss Reel is confident the Indians
are her friends, and never feels the
slightest fear of them.
Isolation from railroads makes Miss
Reels visit an event in any Indian
school, especially as she carries with her
whole pharmacopoeia of medicine.
This is intended for the teachers and
scholars, to whom she is doctor and
nurse.

BULLFINCH AND CANARY.
The Latter Bird Can BE Trained tor
Initiate the Other
SOngster.

That bullfinch can be trained to
pipe whole tune, or more, to perfec-
tion-that is to say, do it, so far as
information and rhythm are concerned,
as well as any skilled musician
everybody knows. 1t is also fact,
though perhaps less common, that a
canary, placed IN an adjoining room
and hearing the tune of such a piping
bullfinch over and over again, may,
quite by himself, i. e., without being
trained for it, acquire the same ac-
complishment to the minutest detail.
My sister possesses an old bullf1nch
which pipes, among other tunes, "God
Save the King beautifully, even en-
bellishing it now and then with some
charming little grace notes, says a
writer in Nature. For some time he
was the only bird in the house, until,
about year ago, my sister received
the present of a canary bird, lovely
but unframed scngster, singing, as
they say in Germany, las his beak was
grown"
The cages containing the two birds
stood in two adjoining rooms. At first
one of the birds would be silent when
the other was singing. Gradually,
however, the young canary bird began
to initiate the tune of the bullfinch,
trying more and more of it at a
time, until after nearly a years study
he had completely mastered it and
could pipe it quite independently by
himself AS I said before, this, in a
canary bird, though rare accom-
plishment, is nothing extraordinary
or unheard of.
When the bullfnch, as sometimes
happened, would, after the first half
of the tune, stop little longer than
the rhythm of the melody warranted,
the canary would take up the tune
where the bullfinch had stopped and
properly finish it.

Dear one I send you flower
Fresh from a fragrant field;
With heart of purest shining gold,
Set in a snowy shield,
To bring to you the love and thoughts
Ny heart must ever yield.
It's petals white are purest thoughts,
I think, dear one, of you;
My love, the golden heart you see,
All wet with glistening dew,
So like my tears when you are gone,
And oft 1 grieye for you
I counted: Love nc, love me not"
And as the sky's above me,
The petal that ] counted last, :.
Smiled as IL whispered: Loves me-
And all the flowers chorus sang
OF Loves me, loves me, loves me-!
Oh could I send thousand flowers,
All wet with glistening dew;
And call them all with the perfect hours'
I've spent, dear love, with you;
They could not show more hearts Oh golo
Than I have hearts for you.
SO keep the little flower / send,
And read it's meaning DER;

And make a chain to bind your heart
To mine for. evermore.

Our Meats i'm Germany.

American meat exporters are hard hit
by the new German laws, which for pork
products require three inspections with
expensive microscopic examinations.

also hardship on the German working

using American shoulder pieces and
hams, says American Cultivator- Ger
nan legislators, in their zeal to pro-

A certain nouveau richie woman, of
Philadelphia, who bears the reputation of
a Mrs. Malaprop and misuses her English
with fine disregard of the prophecies,
was staying with her daughter at an At
lantic City hotel. One evening, while
seated on the hotel porch, she overheard
two young men, who were unaware of
her presence, discussing her daughter.
THAT Miss Blank is a very charming
girl" said one. Don't you think so?"
"Yes," was the reply; "but what pity
she's so delicate"
This was too much for the mother,
who prided herself on her daughters good
health.
'Delicate" she broke in; my daugh-
ter delicate! Why, she's one of the most
indelicate girls ! ever saw in my life!"--

POPULAR ENTHUSIASM.
without 1t General Road Improves
ment Cannot Be Secured. Says
Col. j. HI. Brigham.


Col. J. H Brigham, assistant secre-
tary of agriculture at Washington, IS
not only a giant in size, but he IS
big man in practical common sense.
In recent speech at a good roads
convention he said some things that
everybody ought to read. Among
other good things he said:
Il see no reason why the generai
government should not appropriate
certain sum of money to be expended
in this great work OF course the
states, counties and local communities
should be expected to cooperate. A
little aid from the general government
would be wonderful encouragement
to all the people.
II hear a number of speakers here
saying that we must stir up congress
Now | want to impress you with the
idea that we must first educate the
people. When the people are in favor
of national aid in building good roads,
congressman will be in favor OF II,
and not until then. They are not go
ing ahead of the people.
when one of these great popular
movements gets started, it acquires
wonderful momentum. / heard a
story of two farmers who stood be-
side railroad for the first time. On
the track stood an engine with long
train of heavy cars. Said one farmer
to the other: Jim, she'll never be
able to start it. 1t isn't possible
Finally the steam was turned on and,
with much putting, creaking and
grooming, the great train began TO
move very slowly, then faster and
faster, until finally with a whirl of
dust and roar like thunder, it swuag
out of sight around distant curve.
Then the farmer, drawing a long
breath, remarked: Jim, by the Eter-
nal, they'll never be able to stop it.
So will it be with the good roads
movement Once let it get thorough
ly started and nothing will be able to
stop it, or stand before 1t, till it's
great work is done.
81 see no reason why the general
government should not reach out it's
strong arm and help the people OF
this country get better means Of COM
munication. / want to see this move
ment pushed with all the energy that
is characteristic of the American peo-
pie When we undertake to do any
thing in this country we do it, and do
it well. We have started out for bet
ter roads, and we are going forward
on this line till we have as good roads
as can be found anywhere in the
world
In these remarks Col. Brigham has
sounded the keynote of the good roads
campaign. The masses of the people
must be aroused and educated. Or
ganization is the principal means to
be employed. Conventions should be
held, and associations should be or
ganized in all sections of the country.
1t is not enough to get out a crowd
of professional road reformers to
make speeches and pass resolutions.
The object in view is to interest prac-
teal and progressive men in all walks
of life, to arouse the Indifferent, to
convince the DIRECTORS, and to get up
wave of popular enthusiasm for bet
ter roads Until this is done no i'm
portant results will be accomplished.
