listeners. The seats Of honor on the

In the terrible drought OF last spring
most of the fires that devastated the
wilderness as it had never been before
were set by sparks from railroad en-
gines. Many suits for damages are
now pending against the railroad COM
panies by owners Of burned forest
lands. If their point can be sustained
by law the railroad companies them
selves may be forced in self protection
to use electric power, which, wired
from the abundant waterfalls of the
woods. would not endanger the forest

Another great advantage Of the troll
ley for woods use is that it can sur
mount any reasonable grade whereas
the steam railroad has to stick to tine
level or make level for itself at great
cost. On the whole, the woods have
worse enemies than the trolley car

DRESS REVEALS THE MIND.
Better Index To Character Than the
Face. Says Chicago woman.

''lf you want 10 read a girls charac-
ter, do not look TO Ste II expressed In
her face. but i1 the taste displayed in.
her room and dress. A girls room and
dress. not her face, reveal her charac-
ter"
This Is what Mrs. John h. Sherwood.
Dor years chairman of the art commit
tee of the Illinois State Federation of
Women's Clubs. told the mem Oers of
the Mathedn club in Chicago the other
day. Mrs. Sherwood believes that as a
girls face is not of her own making il
is not safe index TO character, says
the Chicago Tribune.
But look into a girls room or OBJ
serve her dress. and all her character
istfcs are known TO you at glance.
There Is no concealing them"
Mrs. Sherwood then proceeded TO ad-
wise her hearers regarding the proper
decorations Of the home
The most artistic room is not the
room that costs great deal. but the
room in which there are simplicity and
harmony, no matter how cheaply oh
tained. Simplicity and harmony are
the first principles Of beauty. and in
many cases there is less art in the rooms
where a great deal OF money has been
spent than in the more economically
furnished"
Mrs. Sherwood urged that many
homes would be more artistic than they
are If 1t were not for the gifts received,
which perfOrce must be accepted and
for awhile displayed in the parlor. The
proper way TO proceed when such un.
welcome gifts are received was out
lined by the speaker as follows:
Gradually move them from the par
lor to the back room, from the back
room TO the bedroom, from the bed
room TO the spare room and from the
spare room to the attic BY the time
they reach the attic the donor will have
forgotten all about il"
Mrs. Sherwood urged that colors are
symbolic and outlined few rules to
bolic of welcome. hospitality and love
and should be used on the walls of the
reception hall Blue is symbolic of
truth and purity, and ii is an excellent
color for girls room. In fact, most
girls choose it of their own accord.
Every girl should be allowed to select
the color and furnish her own room"
Mrs. Sherwood urged that the recep-
ton room should properly be done in
colonial style. with columns. and should
be by all means of formal decoration.

SELF TORTURE BY INDIANS.


MutilatfOn Endured by Drunken saw
ages to Show Their Courage.
Edward Field, who recently arrived
at Yorktown, Man, reported the drunk
en- orgies of Indians who held potlach
at Fishing River Inspired by whisky
supplied by trader, the Indians held
sun dance. This did not content
some who wanted potlach, in which
knives are freely used to test the cour-
age of the Indian braves.
One got his companions to cut the
tendons Of his back to insert sticks
after the custom of the ancient dances,
but could not bear the pain when one
tendon had been cut. Another put pine
needles in his arms and then applied Il
light to them, severely burning himself.
but his bravery was established when
he bore the pain without murmur.
Others slashed themselves with
knives, inflicting bad flesh wounds. and
then retired from the dance to be at
tended by medicine men. The dance
continued for three nights, more than
hundred Indians taking part in the
performance on the snow. with the
temperature 80 degrees below zero.

morning seemed gray and dlsheartened.
1t was the embodiment of Sarah Ade-
lines low spirited condition.
She tied tie shoestring viciously in
three hard knots around the end of the
braid unmindful of the difficulty she
would encounter when she united it.

"Yes'm." answered Sarah meekly.
"My goodnessr she muttered Grossly
to herself. "They think can do every
thing all at once"
When she essayed to button the back
of her red and black plaid flannel with
the box plated skirt, her winter dress
for school, her fingers fairly refused 10
do their work, so cold We're they. Aft.
er one or two attempts Sarah Adeline
sat down on the edge of her bed and
wept. The reason for her tears was not
entirely the obstinacy of the buttons
nor her icy fingers. There was sore
disappointment in her hearts and her
objective world, as generally is the case,
seemed perversely in league with it.

After the little frock was fastened in
a strange, unexpected way Sarah ate
