In these words Hamilton W Mabie summed up

afternoon. This thought of giving the tenement
children a chance was the keynote Of the whole

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS DEVOTION.
Many Regrets at Retirement of Mrs. auintOn
from Indian Association.

The retirement Of Mrs Amelia s Qulnton Of
Philadelphia, who for the last seventeen years has
served the National Indian Association pres-
dent, and for the eight years preceding as secre-
tary was announced yesterday at its meeting and
brought out cordial expressions of regret and af-
lection. Woman after woman arose. and with
tears in her eyes and with trembling voice told
how much Mrs. Quinton had done for the associa-
ton. Resolutions were passed testifying to the
loss the association felt it sustained in her with
drawal
The election Of officers resulted as follows: Pres-
dent Mrs Wilbur Wakeman, of New-York; first
president, Mrs. a S. Qunton. Of Philadelphia;
Northern vice president, Mrs. w. r Brooks Of
Morristown n J.; Eastern vice-presldent Mrs
S. 7. Kinney, Of New-Haven; Southern vice-pres-
dent. Mrs. E. John Ellis. of Covington La; West

Cal; corresponding secretary Miss May F. Nc
Kean; recording secretary, Mrs William II. Laird
OF New-York; organizing secretary. Miss A P. Jen-
nings, Of Philadelphia; treasurer. Miss Anna Ben
nett, Of Philadelphia.
Mrs Candace Wheeler. who spoke on the scope
and influence Of Indian art. said:
Il do not remember ever to have seen but one in
stance of rnisapplied decoration in Indian art That
one instance was pair of infants moccasins upon
which the mother had lavished her love and in
cTusted not only the insteps. but the soles with
heads, as the only way to express her affection
In studying Indian art feel that we are in the
presence OF art in its babyhood, yet that art is
possessed Of characteristics that mature art might
copy With advantage, and this quality of direct an
propriateness is one of them.
This abstinence is the more remarkable in the
Indian because his nomadic life offers so few deco
rat!Ve opportunities, clothing, basketry trappings
and blankets being about the only materials that
have been given him to work upon This limited
range and the absence of swarming suggestions from
outside lie at the root of Indian When l sa,

THE QUIET WAY THE BEST

THE QUIET WAY THE BEST.
What's the use of worrying,
OF hurrying
And scurrying,
Everybody flurrying
And breaking up their rest,
When everything is teaching US,
Preaching and beseeching US
To settle down and end the fuss,
For quiet ways are best?
The rain that trickles down in showers
A blessing brings to thirsty flowers,
And gentle zephyTs gather up
Sweet fragrance from each trimming cup.
There's ruin in the tempest's path,
There's ruin in the voice of wrath.
And they alone are blest
Who early learn to dominate
Themselves, their violence abate,
And prove by their serene estate
That quiet ways are best.
