In tiaS old-fashioned dances may be

Judging from the growing fashion OF
turning ones back, particularly If 1t
be a fashionable back, upon winter,
there is an increasing distaste for the
chill season, and 1t would be quite in
order to change slightly the old adage
and say that as the days begin to
lengthen not only does the cold begin
to strengthen, but the determination to
escape this cold grows equally severe.
The two pictures that confront a pro-
spective traveller are those of meager
coal pile at home and an ever-abound-
ing blooming rosebush and ever-bear-
ing orchard tree abroad, and 1t is not to
be wondered at that he decides in favor
of the roses and oranges. Time was
when literary men constituted them
selves defenders Of the seasons and
wrote "a good word for winter" or "a
plea for summer" In a way to win I'M
loyal hearts. But where Is the modern
poet Of winter who would have the
hardihood to write as Lowell tells us
did the ancient poet Of winter, lying
In bed with his hand through hole In
the blanket? Lowell also reminds us
that one Of the first rules of whist is
winter, and he declares that for "a good
solid read there Is nothing like the
sense Of safety that winter tempest
brings. Some deep observers of society
go SO far as to declare that the grow
ing habit Of escaping from winter ar
CUES the fact that people are becoming
more enervated, but it is to be doubted
whether the habit is sufficiently univer-
sal to justify these forebodings. Yet
1t remains to be proven whether the in
dividual who takes the weather as he
does life, 'tjust as 1t comes" does not,
after all, have the best of it.

will be interesting news to many Amer
leans to learn that the identity of the
Indian In his tribal relation will soon
be forever lost. 1t Ia believed that an
other year will see his final disappear,
ance from among the segregated com,
munities of the world. The tangible
remnant Of the aborigines of North
America now consists Of the five prin,
cipal civilized tribes - Cherokees,
Greeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws and
Seminoles, numbering, In round mum,
bers, about 5000. Some Of the nomad-
ic Apaches, Comanches and Arapahoes
still exist as melancholy relics of a bar
barrie age in Oklahoma, New Mexico
and Arizona, but they long since lost
all semblance Of tribal autonomy.
Seventy years ago the five tribes were
moved to the territory west of the Mis-
sissippi, and for thirty years they have
been living under tribal governments
under constitutions copied closely after
those used by the States. In the course
of years thousands Of white settlers
have entered the territory and squat

The racial situation has been further
complicated by the return of the negro
slaves held by the Indians, but Nber-
ated during the civil war. The three
races have intermarried until travellers

who have invaded the territory. But
the Indian Is now standing on the
threshold Of United States citizenship.
His tribal governments must be merged
into the Union. Since 1893 the Dawes
commission has been engaged in the
work Of allotting 100000 acres of
valuable land among some $1,000 legit-
innate heirs out of 100000 claimants.
The stupendous character of this task
and the difficulties In the way of equal
~ dividing the land are pointed out in
an article in the Forum by Thomas F.
Willard. In the opinion of Mr.. Willard
this equalization" which is costing
the government hundreds of thousands
of dollars, Is In reality a farce. The
Indians desired to divide the land by
the very simple plan of giving each
man his and his family's share of the
land he was living on and partitioninc
unoccupied land among those who had
no regular place Of abode. Mr.. Mil
lard believes this plan should have
been followed.
