Indian Names.

Shall the educated Indians retain
their aboriginal names, with their wild
flavor and poetic significance, or sacri
fee them to simplicity and convention,
and go before the. world as Smith or
Jones2 r..
An argument in favor of the old
names was presented at an Indian insti-
tute held in St. Louis not long ago. It
was made by Miss Emily S. Cook, a for
mer employee at the White Earth agen-
cy in Minnesota. Miss Cook protested
against the modern tendency toward
haphazard adoption Of Anglo-Saxon
names. They are taken as family
names, in order to conform to the legal
usage of civilization and provide for
the descent Of property. Unfortunate,
ly, in taking the new names they are
dropping the old ones entirely, and be-
coming plain John Jones or Mary
Smith. 49,. ~. -. ~
In her address, Miss Cook urged that
the adult Indians should be enrolled
under their present names, and give
them as family names to their descend
ants. The suggestion seems well made.
Some Of the Indian names are long
and hard to remember, but they can be
simplifed and the Jaw breakers"
dropped out. q. The Indiap of today is
taking on civilization, but he should not
be taught to be ashamed Of his history
| or his ancestry. He will make better
citizen if he retains his pride and per-
petuates the musical language of his
fathers in family names. There are
enough Of the Smiths and Browns and
Johnsons, and why should their ranks
be swelled by proud sons of the forest,
forsaking such surnames as Sang-way-
way or Mah-ge-gah-bowg Our Anglo.
Saxon names are prosaic. Why not en-
rich our nomenclature with such gems
from aboriginal matrices as Mah-je-ke-
shig, Wah- sah-yah, or Ain-dus-o-gwen9
Who with any touch Of romance in his
soul would discard Ma-cai -e-wence for
Perkins, 49,. @
Laying sentiment aside, the Indian
needs to retain pride of race while ac-
quiring- civilization. To civilizel him
does not mean to suppress his individ-
uality. He does not need to be cut
down to fit the dimensions Of a white
man g mold. Let the Indian become
educated and self supporting, but do not
teach him to be, ashamed of his native
blood.

BUT WON'T DO FOR STEADY DIET
New York Tribune.

How are children so often able without
injury to swallow such sharp things as
pins, needles. tacks and bits of glass?
The secret, as disclosed BY DR.. Albert
Exner. of Vienna, lies in the fact that,
when a pointed or sharp-edged body
comes in contact with the lining of the
stomach or intestine, the part touched
contracts and Fuckers so as to thicken
itself in that place. At the same time
it withdraws itself in such a manner as
to form a little pocket, and gradually
twists the object around so as to turn
the edge or point away, pushing the
thing along.

Minnesota Wants More People

There will be another heavy migra-
tion Of homeseekers to the northwest
next spring. The movement in this
direction, which has been in progress
for the last three years, shows no sign
of being checked. It will continue I'M
til the vacant territory has been filed
up and land values are equalized as
south and east.
The Canadian northwest has been
thoroly advertised on this side of the
| line, and large share Of the movement
has gone into that territory. Mime
sofa has not had as large share as the
state deserves. In the craze for cheap
land the homeseekers have been going
great distances.
Minnesota ought to attract and hold
a great proportion Of the farmers who
come in this direction next spring. To
do this it will be necessary for us all
to make a hard, systematic campaign
| calling attention to the opportunities to
be found within our state, to it's fertile
soil, magnificent climate and proximity
to markets. .. s-t. ia ~ NJ
J Now is the time to start the spring
movement this way. The time to reach
the homeseekers is before they start
and not after they have bought their
tickets. A well directed campaign of
publicity this winter will bring results
when the snow has melted and the warm
sun welcomes the homeseeker.

BRILLIANT RECORD OF A NEWS
 PAPER MAN

The success which has attended William E. Curtis, the famous corres- pondent Of the Chicago Record Herald Is rarely attained by newspaper writ CTS. Beginning his career in Chicago m lo'Z as reporter, he rapidly rose 10 the position Of managing editor. He resigned that position on receiving a government appointment as secre- tary of the South American com mission. MT. Curtis travelled exten- sively in Central and South America. while in this position, producing sev- eral popular volumes as the result of his literary labors. Afterwards CO., operating with Secretary of State James G. Blaine, MT. Curtis organ ized the work of the bureau of Ameri- can republics. with the result that he was placed in charge of that organi- zation. and at the Worlds Columbian Exposition he distinguished himself by his labors as the executive head of the Latin-American department. As the correspondent of the Chicago Record-Herald. Mr Curtis travels have carried him into every section of the United States as well as into all quarters of the Globe. His China and Japan letters were published in book form: likewise his letters from England. Germany and France, as well as those written during his trav- els in Mexico and South America.
 No newspaper correspondent pos sesses the facility shown by Mir. Curtis in writing on any of the di- xersifed subjects embraced in hls correspondence and making it lumi- nous. Nor Is any correspondent fol- lowed so closely year after year by the thousands of readers of the Chicago Record-Herald. On his re- cent trip to the Holy Land MT. Curtis letters have been read more closely than ever, and his descriptions of that in teresting section of the globe as it appears today have been quoted everywhere.

as the claim was an extra good
one, but her nerve, determine
tion and firearms won the day.
Nor were her charms lost upon

friends she made were many. In

A NARROW ESCAPE
FOR j. T. LAUDERBACK
Lynch Man Is Fired at Twice BY MAslght
Marauders and Returns tho Fire Win
Seven Shots From his Shot On.

j. r. Lauderback, who is spend
ing the winter at the home of
James Hastie, eleven miles north
of Minot, had an experience with
two marauders Monday night of
last week which he does not care
to have repeated. He was awak-
ened by the barking OF his dog
about midnight and arose and
went out ofdoors. He climbed on
top OF a pile of straw to look ar
ound, when two men stepped
from out of the shadow of the
barn. One said, "What are you
doing out here you son of a -?
Get back into the house" With
that he fred a shot which came
uncomfortably close. just as
Mr.. Louderback stepped into the
aouse, another shot whizzed past
}his head. He quickly got his
double barrel shot gun and went
out after the robbers. They saw
him coming and showed fight
jfrststarting towards him. When
! they saw that he was armed,
,hey took to their heels and went
across the prairie. Louderback
fired at them seven times and be-
lieves he succeeded in planting a
few shot in their hide. They went
west to the Peterson place where
they had their horses tied and
drove in the direction of Minot.
Mr.. Louderback does not have
the least idea who the bold fel-
lows are. His house was recently
robbed.

THE HERO OF PRETTY
WESTERN ROMANCE.
August Peterson. Of Harvey, N. D., Weds
Miss Bertha Nilsson, Of Sycamore, who
Came to North Dakota to Take UP a
Homestcad---Was a Prominent Society
Young Woman. -

August Peterson, formerly OF
hinot, but now connected prom.
inently in a bank at Harvey, N.
d., is the hero of q western. ro--
nance. The following taken ia
ken from the Chicago Chronicle
tells a very pretty story:
Sycamore, ILL.,, Feb. 27.-The
society event Of this season in
Sycamore will take place at the
home of Mrs. Benjamin Nilsson on
Tuesday evening, March |, when
her daughter, Bertha Odessa,
will be united in marriage to
August Peterson of Harvey, N.
D. This event is the culmina-
tion Of an experience both ro-
mantle and interesting, Miss
Nilsson is a native OF Sycamore
and in her home town she is a
great favorite. She is ofSwedish
parentage and, like the sweet
singer of Sweden, Christine Nil
son. to whom she is related, she
is a vocalist of great merit and
widely known.
About three years ago in a
Joking way she suggested that
some Of the young women go
west and take up government
land. The idea was so foreign to
her manner of life that a great
deal of amusement was created,
but she was in earnest and went
to North Dakota and took up
100 acres of land. She had a
shack" put up and the first year
remained there, according to the
requirements OF the government.
She then returned home to spend
the winter, fully intending to re-
turn when the allotted time came.
When her friends learned of her
intention Of returning to her
S'shack'' in the wilds OF Dakota
they gave her a shower party
Of farming utensils (in minia-
ture). Everything in the i'm
pliment line was presented her,
but they could not daunt her.
