INDIANS ARE DESTITUTE
Turtle Mountain Indians of the North
ern Part Of the State Reported to be
In DeplorabIe Condition.

Some time ago the following article
appeared in the Cahdo Democrat:
From an unquestioned source we
learn that the full blooded Chippewa
Indians of the Turtle Mountains are
in very pitiable plight. Every quar-
ter section of land in that vicinity has
been filed on by white men, who, un-
derstanding the law, have taken ad-
vantage of their brothers and beaten
them out of the homes they consid-
cred their own, thus leaving the In
dian with starvation staring him in
the face. North Dakota winter is
almost upon us and these poor, de
frauded beings will be forced to steal
wood with which to keep from freez
ing.
Knowing their dire condition the
white scoundrels of the mountains are
taking advantage of the girls that
should be in school and forcing them
to give up their virtue for small por-
tion of the necessities of life. The
worst feature of it is that while the
GOV ernment hes finally become inter
ested in the matter and is making
preparations to move these Indians tc
the White Earth reservation. the re
moval csnnot be accomplished before
spring. and before that time they vii
have suffered all the tortures of the
condemned
We prate about our great civiliza
ton and send missionaries abroad tC
Christianize the heather and never
give a thought to the reformation OF
the mountain scalawags who ara tax
ing advantage of these innocent child
ren of the mountains. Let us moi
point the finger Of shame at either
Turkey or China until we have civil
lied and Chrstianized our own
heather.
The North Dakota Sheaf. the organ
Of Bishop Mann of the Episcopal
church in this state, sought further
information on the subject and wrote
to Rev. Beebe of Rolla, who respond

THE o JUMPER.
HE Training Must BE Systematic ca
Get the Best Results.

Every schoOlboy thinks that he can
broad jump, and so he can to a certain
degree. But this event is one which
should be gone at Systematically to get
the best results. The jumper should
6rst carefully no dee his stride on 60
Ing up to the take off, so that he can
mark on a distance-say twenty-five
yards back-and by stepping on this
mark with one Of his feet MS he runs
by he will be sure to strike the take off
when he IN to 1t. The jumper can
not be sure Of getting his best efforts
into his jump unless he is practically
sure of hitting the take of. After this
has been acquired the athlete car get
to work.
In this run the jumpers highest
speed should be reached at about ten
or twelve feet before the take off. SO
that he can gather himself for the
jump. After leaving the take off he
should shoot out and up. He must
have elevation or his efforts will be in
vain. He should 60 into the air at an
angle of at least forty-five degrees. A
good way to get this elevation is by
placing a hurdle in the Jumping pit
and jumping over it. The jumper
should gather himself together as he
goes through the air. and at the finish,
Just before alighting. he should force
himself on by a spasmodic effort with
his arms and body. The legs will strike
the ground at the farthest possible
distance. Practice will show how far
out the feet can be thrown without the
athletes falling back into the pit. 1t
must be remembered that the greater
the speed the farther out the feet a
be thrown with safety. A great deal
Of practice is necessary to become a
good broad jumper, but this is an
event which it is not well to practice
too frequently, as 1t is very hard on
the legs. The broad jumper will there
fore not expect to get at his best dur
ing his first season.-G. w. Orion in st.
Nicholas.
