Became Like the Indians.

The first public school at the Red Store, a frontier Indian trading post in Oklahoma, as old as the military post bf Fort Sill itself, has revealed the fact that white children through asso. ciation with Indian children have taken on far more of the customs, manners and speech. of the Indians than the latter have of their white playmates.
 Nearly all the white children of the district have been reared among the Indians, associating with them and at. tending school with them. They have learned to paint their cheeks, put feath. CTS in their hair, wear gaudy sashes and brass finger rings and earrings and shoot the arrow to the mark.
 Now that district school has been established the teacher has met the greatest difficulty of her life in teach. Ing these little Indians the ways of civilization. They have the highest regard for authority, having had 1t in. stilled by mission teachers in the In. dian school they have attended, but they insist on preserving the Indian customs.
 They read their lessons aloud in studying as they were taught to do in the mission school. They do many things obnoxious to the district teach CT. who is seeking their reform, and they almost absolutely refuse to depart from the customs they have learned.

pRAIRIes BECOMING FORESTS.
Trees Now Growing Abundantly In
 Sections Trodden Bare.

6cCtlOuo 1TOuOeu lS0res
 The largest area of timber land in Kansas is the Yaggy tract of 800 acres, near Hutchinson, says the New York Sun. This has been under cultivation for 12 years. In that time $30,0O0 worth of posts have been sold and S30,OO0 worth more are ready to be taken. All of this production has been secured simply by thinning out tho trees where the growth has been too thick, and all of the largest trees are still left for future profit. This gives an idea of the immense profit in fOres- tration.
 In this work the railroads have join. ed hands with the government and the land owners. Twenty of them are an- nual contributors to the National So. ciety of Arboriculture, and most of them carry on independent forestra- ti6n. The government has. had experts in the field in recent years drawing plans for wood lots and suggesting the proper trees. These men have also been studying natural reproduction with view to controlling 1t for prac- tical use or assisting 1t where desira- ble.
 The catalpa is coming into more gen. eral favor as profitable tree. It is of rapid growth and great durability. It puts on about an inch of diameter each year, so that at the end of 16 years good sawlogs are produced. Much of 1t brings higher prices than walnut some selling as high as $100 thous- md feet. The forest reserves up in the sandhills of Western Nebraska have proved big success. While the land will never be available for farming, the planting of trees there has had the effect of holding the surface water and doling 1t out to the adjacent lands so that many hundreds of acres have been reclaimed.

DIscontent with Work.

That there Is much dlscontent with work among thesocalled middle classes in America is due in large part to the pampering of children, to the supply ing of their natural and artlfi ial wants and to the sentimental idea that "their day of toll will come soon enough" In general, work is not curse, but a blessing-a positive means of grace. One can hardly begin too early to im- press upon children lessons of self help by tasks appropriate to their age and forces and to beget in them scorn of idleness and dependence on others. To do this is to make them happy through the self-respect that comes with the realization of power and thus to approximate Tennyson's goal of man, "Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control."

FUTURE OF THE AUTO BOAT.
Device May Yet Lead to Q Revolution
 in Yachting Snort.

Device May Yet Lead to Q Revolution In Yachting Sport.
 The landsman who is not a motor crank has been somewhat puzzled to understand the furor over automobile boats and why they are called such and not fast launches. These speedy craft, however, are in class by them- selves, and their introduction may cause a revolution in small boats for pastime and water communication, similar to the effects of the automobile on the use of horseless vehicles. The automobile boat is merely an autOmo- bile engine in a hull modelled for high speed. The advantage over steam and naphtha launches have begun to be hinted at in the trials already made at home and abroad. In contest on the Seine the winning boat maintained an average speed of twenty-five miles an hour and faster times have been made over shorter courses. The first match race in this country had as a competi- tor motor boat that had covered q iucuouTcu nile III tWO luihutSo uuu twenty-six seconds.
 Yachts capable of such high speed are of huge cost, operated by picked crews, and have been comparable with the latest designs of torpedo craft The automobile boat is nothing more than thirty-foot launch, weighing, with it's engine, less than 800 pounds, but capa- ble of developing more than twenty horse power. A yacht or torpedo-boat capable of speed of twenty-five miles an hour measures its horse power by thousands. The motor boat is handled and steered by one man, who controls rudder and engines just as he controls his automobile. These craft made a sensation in England and France be- fore they attracted much attention in this country, but the coming season will see lively racing on local waters and big boom in the demand for these handy little boats, whose speed and ease of handling are wholly new in small craft-Illustrated Sporting News.
