A remarkable instance of the rapid
extinction of an Indian tribe is that of
the Pawness, who were removed to
Oklahoma from Nebraska in 1876.
At the time of their removal from Ne
braska the tribe numbered $500
souls. Today there are less than 500.
The Pawness were given exceptional
ly good allotments in Oklahoma.
The climate is practically the same as
that of their former home, and in fact
everything has been done by the gov
eminent to promote their welfare and
happiness. For some un%accountable
reason they have sickened and died,
until the day is not far distant when
the Pawnee tribe will be extinct.
The mortality among them has been
growing steadily greater year by year,
In 1882, six years after their removal
through death to $40, and the census
of 1900 showed but 600 living Pawness.

of the original $500 removed from Ne

pear rugged, but after passing their
25th birthday an unaccountable mala'
dy attacks them and they gradually
waste away, death overtaking them in
their prime. Scientists and profession
al men generally of the Indian depart
ment have not as yet been able to
ascertain what Nemesis pursues the
rugged Pawnee after his 25th birth
day is reached.

lantern, and our clerk is off on his

Work of the Experienced Men.
Inside the a the older clerks have
quietly settled down to their usual
task of deciphering thousands of differ
ent handwritings and placing the let
tiers, one by one, in their proper boxes.
AS 500 as a box is filled the letters
are removed and formed into neat bun
dles-all this before the first junction
is reached. AS the new clerk stands
amazed at the various acrobatic feats
executed in this process, he begins to
understand why mail clerks have thin
faces and carry such a ~preoccupied
air.
Like so many human automatons,
the clerks are now veritably devour-
ing the mass of mail before them.
Their movements, lightning-like in
their rapidity, yet always accompanied
by that same unerring accuracy, are
truly a revelation to the uninitiated
clerk as he gaZes on the scene with
wonder and awe depicted on his count
enance, while the dizzy swaying and
pitching of the train and the dull,

to the strangeness of the sensation.

the long train is being whirled along

And still those flying hands are wad-
ing through the long rows of letters.
Suddenly a quick blast of the en-
gine's whistle arouses the clerk and
directs his attention to the most e
citing feature of the nights run. The
local clerk is about to exchange mail
pouches at the flag station while the
train is running at full speed.

The Story Of
the Foolish Frog
From the Japanese

Once upon a time in the country of
Japan there lived two frogs, one Of
whom made his home in a ditch near
the town of Osaka. or the sea coast,
while the other dwelt in a clear little
stream which ran through the city of
Kioto. At such a great distance apart
they had never ever heard of each
other; but, funnily enough, the idea
came into both their heads at once
that they should like to see a little of
the world, and the frog who lived at
Kioto wanted to visit Osaka, and the
frog who lived at Osaka wanted to
to go to Kioto, where the great Mi
kado had his palace.
So n fine morning in the spring
they both set out along the o a that
led from Kioto to Osaka one from one
end and the other from the other.
The journey was more firing than they
expected, for they did not know much
about travelling, and half way between
the two towns there arose a mountain
that had to be climbed. Ii took them
a long time and a great many hops to
reach the top, but there they were at
last, and what was the surprise of
each to see another frog before him!
They loked at each other for a mo-
ment without speaking, and then fell
into conversation, explaining the cause
of their meeting so far from their
homes. 1t was delightful to find that
they both had the same wish-to learn
a little more of their native country
n as there was no hurry. they
stretched themselves out in a cool,
damp place and agreed that they
would have a good rest before they
parted to go their ways.
What a pity we are not bigger"
said the Osaka frog; for hen we
could see both towns from here, and
tell if it is worth our while going on"
"Oh, that is easily managed" re-
turned the Kioto frog. 1--WE have only
got to stand up on our hind legs and
hold on to each other, and then we
can each look at the town he is travel
ing to-"
This idea pleased the Osaka frog so
much that he at once jumped up and
put his front paws on the shoulders of
his friend, who had risen also. There
they both stood. stretching themselves
as high as they could, and holding
each other tightly. so that they might
not fall down. The Kioto frog turned
his nose toward Osaka, and the Osaka
frog turned his nose towards Kioto;
but the foolish things forgot that when
they stood up their great eyes lay in
the backs of their heads, and that,
though their noses might point to the
places to which they wanted to go,
their eyes beheld the places from
which they had come.
Dear. me!' cried the Osaka frog,
"Kioto is exactly like Osaka. 1t is
certainly not worth Such a long Jour
ney. | shall go home!"
IF had any idea that Osaka was
only a copy of Kioto l should never
have travelled all this way" exclaimed
the frog from Kioto, and as he spoke
he took his hands from his friends
shoulders, and they both fell down on
the grass. Then they took a polite
farewell of each other, and set off for
their home again. and to the end of
their lives they believed that Osaka
and Kioto, which are as different to
look at as two towns can be, were as
ike as two peas.

. the setting of poles to support
the trolley wires as to the laying Of
tracks over which the cars are to
run, farmers especially seeming to
have a grudge against the tearing up
of the roads for this purpose. in spite
of the fact hat they generally utilize
the rails to haul their heavy loads of
produce when once in place. Now a
man has come to the conclu-
sion that if he a get the right of
way to set the poles w which to
transmit the electric current he can
manage to do without the rails; in
fact, ne will put a motor on any old
wagon and turn the horse out to grass
or ship him abroad to be eaten. One
use of the rails in a trolley system is
to convey the return current, after it
leaves the motors of the car, but by
using a double wire the inventor does
away with this need for the rails,
drawing the power from one wire and
returning it through the other after
it has served its purpose on his wagon
or car. The usual trolley pole sup

WOMEN AS LETTER CARRIERS.

The government has, generally
speaking, not been very liberal to
women in its employment of clerks.
But within the past few months the
wOmen of the country districts of
the United States have found a new
occupation in the government SER
vice. Some hundreds of them all
over the country have been appoint
ed rural letter carriers, and the re-
ports of the department show that
the have done wonderfully
well in their new occupation.
Many female letter carriers have
of late passed the civil service ex-
aminations. There is lots of oppor-
tunity for exercise in the open air
ard under the rules of the appoint
ment of rural carriers, one has the
right, after she is appointed, to do
the work or employ a substitute when
she is incapacitatcd by the weather
or sickness.
How nice it must be to hear gentle
female steps approaching ones door
with welcome letters. And the de-
partment officials say that women
make very good rural carriers, and do
not lose time gosslping when de-
livering them all, as one would sup
pose, and that the innate love of
gadding about and visiting their
friends to see what is going on
makes a female like the work and for

clerk on train No. ) of the Iron Noun
tain Route.
No particular uniform is necessary
in the new field of labor on which he
is entering. Nor is any previous eX-
p%erience in railroad mail service re-
CURED.
What our new man needs most of all
in his new vocation is a good pair of
eyes, a strong, steady nerve, plenty of
endurance. and al ordinary amount
of well developed brain tissue.
Our new clerk proceeds to the mail
car, his breast heaving the while with
various emotions. The sensation from
some points of view is of the pleasant
order. From other points of view the
feelings excited are too much akin to
anxiety to admit of pleasant reflection.
Why the Car is Coupled to the Engine.
The car is soon found, coupled to
the tender of the engine. This is in
itself a significant fact. inasmuch as
it is a way the railroad company has
of protecting the rest of the train in
case of a head-on collision.
In other words, it is a case where
the lives of the few are to be sacri-
feed for the many. Our new clerk
has met with his first surprise, and
one tinged with just the least bit of
foreboding.
The chief clerk has been sought
and found. The formality of the
handshake may be INDUCED in while
mutual introductions are being ex-
changed. Then, again. the Formally
may be waived, with a quick nod and
a "Howdy?"
The new man is put to work, placing
stanchions and setting up the rack
which holds the open mail bags. The
hustle about him soon makes him
realize that he is now in quite a differ.
ent atmosphere from hat of hurrying
passengers and comfortably cushioned
seats. Men outside pile in the bags
of mail from the sation. Those
marked straight" or through" are
put aside, as they are not to be opened
on the train. Most of those thrown in
however, are bags of working mail
and it is on those that the clerks will
soon begin.
Our new clerk arranges the heavy
sacks in their proper places in the car
Finally there is much hurrying tc
and fro on the platform. The last

last sack is flung in the open doorway
