E SAVING Of STEPS.

If a telephone would save you a
half dozen trips day-it usually
saves people from three to six times
that many wouldn't it be an eco
nomical investment?
A telephone in your house or
place of business costs you less than
10 cents day. Six trips a day
would cost you not less than ten
cents each, or total of 90 cents.
In month this would foot up the
enormous total of SIS counting
Sundays and all. But some bust
ness men use their phone 100 or
more times a day. They couldn'
do without il.

Speculations Of a French Scholar
on the Indian Question Twen

A curious phamphlet has been
brought to our notice by Father
Urban. He picked il up 10 Paris
some years ago. II is entitled
Considerations on the Establish

New State Of The American TN
ION. Ii was written by French
student, K. De S., and published
IN Versailles in 1870.
The document is curious one,

ner on the Indian problem twenty
eight years ago. II X. De $.
could visit the territories today he
would doubtless change his ideas.
Some extracts from the phar-
phlet will be interesting:
"a short time after the declara-
ton of independence by the thir-
teen original United States Of
America, the government declared
that the nelawares might consti-

souls.
Thus, from the beginning Of the
Union, the central government re
cognixed the right Of the Indians
TO form 4 state, possessing equal
rights with those constituted by
English aud European colonists.
The great difficulty that pre-
senis itself is the constitution Of
such state il the impossihility Of
finding among the Indians. a homo
geneous population Of sixty thous-
and souls.

SAW WATER SPOUT
AT THE HIGHLANDS.
Local Man On a Cruise Writes to

The following interesting account of d
water spout, which was witnessed by
August F. Dietz, Jr., who is on a cruise
aboard the yacht Sadie, of Kreischerville
has been furnished us by Mr.. Deitz him
self
Highlands of Nayisink.
Editor Evening News:
"Having been an eye witness of the
water spout In the heavy storm at Rock
away Beach last Saturday morning de-
cided to give you an accurate description
of it.
"The first l saw of it was when it came
across from the ocean over Rockaway
park into what is called the West Way.
Shortly after it came inside it struck a
sloop anchored below the gas works and
upset 1t. Then it passed up, following
the main channel and passing about 100
feet ON the yacht Sadie's starboard side.
II had been aboard the yacht all night,
and was at that time alone and I felt
quite uneasy. A number of people saw
the water sprout from a boat house at
Seaside.
AFTER passing our boat the water
spout went on up to a group of smaller
boats and picked its way through them
without touching one. 1t then went
toward the railroad bridge where it lost
its hold of the water and disappeared"

You + entirely right in assuming

But to take away all possible op-
