- PHILOSOPHERS have told us that

ID PHILOSOPHERS have told us that
he is worlds benefactor who
makes two blades of grass grow
where but one grew before. He who
adds to our happiness is also our
creditor, whether we acknowledge it
or not.
often wonder, therefore, whether
the American people, great and just
and generous enough to go to war to
befriend poor neighbor, recognize
how much they owe of late to the
Indian for the pleasure he has af-
forded so many of them. One has
but to think of the great output of
Indian blankets, baskets, pottery,
bead work. bows and arrows and
other of their handicraftsmanship
and then to remember how many
thousands, hundreds of thousands,
nay, even millions, of pictures of In
dams made by Burbank, Reinhardt,
Jackson Cor copies of their work.,
that have been sold during the last
few years, to realize a little the
great debt the artist owes to the In
dian in which the American people
share.
But this is only one side of the
question. There are a score of other
sides to look at. only one of which
I can present in the short space of
this brief article. And that is this:
There are to-day hundreds of thou
sands of amateur photographers in
America, who kodak. Montaul1, POGO
or some other camera in hand, are
hunting for new subjects of life, in
terest and some difficulty. To these
wish to say: The Indian fills all
these requirements. His pictur-
sequences everyone knows, and his
liveliness is known to all who know
him, even though it is a generally ac-
cepted fact in many minds that the
Indian buck is lazy and that it is his
wife who does all the work.
Bosh and nonsense! Ridiculous
ialsity.
For instance. take a look at Fig.
of the old Hopi Indian.

FRENCH BOYS TO STAY.
Prof. In,gres Tells of the Aim of the
Prospective Chicago
School.

Prof. Maxine Ingres, head of the
Chicago branch of the Alliance Fran
caise, is authority for the statement
that commercial instruction is not
the fundamental aim of the French
government in sending students to
the new school which it will establish
in Chicago. A report to the effect
that the New York chamber of COM
merce is opposed to the scheme on
the ground that such a project is
useless has wrong foundation, ac-
cording to Prof. Ingres.
He says that the idea of the
French government in sending stu
dents to Chicago is not that they
should return to the mother country
with new commercial methods" but
that they should stay in America and
teach the French language correctly.

You have shown us the life and in
terest in such subjects, but where is
the difficulty that adds zest to the
artists pursuit? These are all easy
enough subjects and evidently friend
ly; where are the difficulties?
All, my friend, there are difficulties
in photographing or painting Indi-
ans, as everyone who has attempted
it well knows. Some time ago / was
talking to E. A. Burbank, whose In
dian pictures are SO pleasing, and he
said that one of the most interest
ing of the many memories connected
with each picture was the series Of
difficulties he had had to overcome
ere the picture was completed. To
get the Indian to sit anyhow is diff
cult. His fears, his superstitions, his
nervousness at everything you do
that is new or strange to him; his
dilatoriness when under the influ-
ence of those who would seek to dis
suade him from returning, and all
these were real obstacles that had to
be overcome. The same kind of diff
ficulties meets the photographer
Then, when one comes to the chill
dren, there subjects galore, and all
are bewitching and appealing. The
other week, when at Oraibi, | saw a
little child watching me through a
tiny back window. 1t was the only
opening in that house wall, and the
baby face framed there at once ap-
pealed to me. But knew the moment
the camera appeared score of chill
dren and parents would warn the pa
rents within, or would forcibly carry
the child away. So here was difficulty
enough to give one the hunters zest in
outwitting them. L sent one of my
friends with candy and calico to keep
the mother interested, and then I sent
off another to make a diversion with
handful of candy among the children
who were watching me. To get out
camera and adjust it was quick
work. To focus quicker still, all the
time swinging the camera down
street as if I were taking in scene
there. Then, with piece of candy

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus Falls,

She had surgeon get it back in place as
soon as possible, but it was quite sore and
panied her very much. Her son mentioned
that he had seen Oh am berlain's Pain Balm
advertised for sprains and soreness, and
she asked him to buy bottle of it, which
he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled
her to sleep which she had not done for sew
eral days. The son was SO much pleased
with the relief it gave his mother that he
has since recommended it to many others.

Dispatches from Wabash, Ind,
state that a corn husking dog is the
latest novelty on the banks of the
Wabash. This Industrious and intel
ligent canine is the property of
Jacob Diffenbaugh, who lives on the
Stephens farm, near Andrews. 1t is

recently and then went in on his own
hook tearing the husks from the
ears with more celebrity than the
average farm hand. He wasn't care
full in piling the corn and the husks.
but he stripped the husks clean.
The next day he followed Diffen-
baugh and his man to the field and
did several hours of efficient work.
The dog apparently was delighted
with his work.

Editorial Notes.


Missouri is about to lose her Vest.
We hope she will at least provide a
decent shift.
In Baltimore alone last year there
we're formed III corporations with
an aggregate capital of $14, S57, 400.
Grant could not be elected for a
third term, and yet some democrats
have the temerity to suggest such
fortune for Grover Cleveland.
The numerous antitrust bills
prove that there is no lack of desire
on the part of the republican party
to cure existing trust evils.
Every republican has agreed that
there must be no tariff revision
which would be deviation from
the policy of protection.
President Castro may be over
thrown, but Secretary Hays dl-
plomacy will prove equal to every
emergency.
Can it be possible that the veneer
able Boutwell, from Massachusetts
has been charmed by a democratic
siren?
A correspondent wishes to know
if there is any authentic case of the
dead speaking. Yes oh yes! The
Commoner, for instance.
5000 Beers are coming to this
country. What with the Doors ma
tive here and the bores we have
earned we will soon have enough.
The trouble with the democratic
free trade is that it is mere party
shibboleth and is no longer believed
in by the rank and file.
Prof. Franklin does not say any
thing about having received a call
from above to leave Kansas Univer-
sity for the Lei and Stanford. He
says frankly that he goes for 81, 900
increase in salary.
And now the democrats in the
House will make a strenuous effort
to free themselves from the fossilized
leadership of Slippery Jim Rich
ardsOn."
The Pennsylvania railroad enters
into contracts this month which will
involve an expenditure of $50, 0OO,-
900. This is only one illustration Of
the prosperity of the country.
Charleston, S. c., is to be fed with
the Crums that fall from the Black
and Tan table. Tillman's fork is
anxiously watched; will he lift this
Crum?
There will be no longer doubt that
Senator Spooner will be returned to
the Senate. There are others who
could be better spared.
The democrats are actually dis
cussing their presidential candidate
for 1904 as though there was some
chance of his being elected.

Secretary Hay has made fair
and just offer to Colombia but the
Colombians are afraid to accept, $1O,
OOO,O in the Colombian treasury
would doubtless incite a burglary,
which is plain English for South
American revolution.
Ben Tillman has broken loose
again. Ben is simply great when
he can have the floor to himself or
what is the same thing address peo-
pie of his own paleolithic state of
development.
The democrats are already snivel7
ing about the doctrines of the

alright, but the fathers" if they
could come back would have sense
enough to recognize that the doc
trines applicable to the early days
are as inapplicable to the conditions
of today as philebotomy.
Tut, tut, Mr.. Bryan! You used
to speak before you thought, and

A Man Under the Napoleonic Standard.

A writer in the State in the issue
OF July 4th copies letter from Gen.
Lee in which he regretted that Gen.
Micah jenkins with his South Caro-.
lima Brigade was not with him at the
battle Of Gettysburg and stating the
result might have been different if
General Jenkins had been present.
This is the FIRST public mention Of
such letter having been written By
General Lee but it is Of record that he
asked President Davis at jenkins be
sent with him on the Gettysburg
campaign. Gen. Jenkins was on the
Blackwater at the time and June TIN,
1863, Gen. Lee requested that the
brigades Of Cooke and jenkins be al
lowed to follow him. President Davis
thought best, however, to keep Gen.
jenkins back and it may have been
best.
On June 18th, 1863, the Yankees
attempted to cross the Blaokwater
with ten regiments Of infantry, TWO
of cavalry and sixteen pieces Of artil-
lery but were driven back by General
jenkins and that section saved from
devastation.
On July 3rd, 1868, uear the White
House on the Pamunkey river, Gen.
jenkins drove back force of Yam
kees'which was trying to make its way
to Richmond and he was also called
on about the last Of July to assist
