What Teetotalism Means.

Paying visit Of inspection one day
to a large English school, an inspector
found teacher exercising a class In
the subject of definitions, One inter-

moment rare puzzle. The question
was: What is teetotalism?"

face and shabby clothes bespoke hard

Both teacher and visitor felt lump

A REMARKABLE FAMILY
They We're Pioneering TO OREGON
65 Years AGO.

Governor Chamberlain is in receipt
Of u lettor from woman in Montana
inquiring after most extraordinary
family which left New York state
about 60 years ago, and was ON the
way to Oregon to take up homesteads.
She represents that the family was
composed Of the two parents and 30
children ten pairs Of twins, and that
each one in the family intended to
take up homestead. When she
saw the family in New York State
they had travelled over 100 miles on
foot, and declared that they were
going to continue the journey all the
way across the continent to Oregon
on foot, if possible, otherwise, to
walk as far as possible and then buy
mules to complete the trip She asks
for any information obtninable about
this unusually large family

M0D0CS WANT TO RETURN
They Want to Live and Die in
Their Native Oregon.

Last year many of the Choctaws
OF Mississippi and the Cherokees of
Georgia and North Carolina decided
to move to Indian territory and cast
their fortunes with the tribes from
which they had been separated for 60
years. A few weeks ago the Senecas
Of Canada decided to join their own
people in Oklahoma and Indian terri
tory, from whom they had been
separated ever since the war Of 1912.
Now 1t is reported that the Modocs
sent to the Quapaw reservation in
Indian territory in 1878 have decided
to return to their old home near Lake
klamath in California.
1t Is easy to understand the move-
ment Of the Cherokees and Choctaws.
Those left in the South In 1888 ac-
cepted the conditions imposed by
Georgia and Mississippi and devoted
themselves to farming When their
brethren in Indian territory consented
to take mp lands in severalty and be-
come citizens of the territory instead
of members of tribe, the Cherokees
OF the South, influenced by racial
feeling and by inducements offered in
the allotment of lands, very naturally
were disposed to join their people in
the west
1t Is not so easy to understand the
movement of the Modocs. They are
now citizens OF Indian territory.
Lands have been allotted to them
individually. They have lived at
peace with their neighbors. In CAL
ifornia they lived at peace neither
with the other tribes of Indians nor
with the whites.
In the war Of 1878 they quarreled
among themselves and quarreled also
with the klamath tribe. That part
OF the Modoc tribe led by Captain
Jack came to be regarded as outlaws
both by whites and Indians, and
treacherously assassinatod General
Candy, tho best friend the Modocs had
among the whites.
Later, when these outlaws fed to
the lava beds, they were hunted down
as desperate criminals would be
hunted. When they were captured
Captain Jack and other leaders were
hanged as common murderers, and 148
Of those who had followed Captain
Jacks fortunes were sent to the Qua
paw reservation IN Indian territory.
More than 100 Of the Modos who had
repndiated Captain Jack, and in spite
Of his efforts had kept up friendly re-
lations with the whites, remained In
the klamath country. Now the
Captain Jack Modocs, reduced to
A in number, want to return to their
old homes and rejoin their people
who cast them off 80 years ago.
They are willing to give up all the
advantages that have come to thom in
Indian territory under the allotment
system to spend their last years in
their old haunts and among people Of
their own blood. Chicago Inter
