ONLY ONE SUIT FOR FIFTY.
But the Garments Made It Possible for
the Indiana to Vote

But the Garments Made It Possible for
the Indiana to Vote.
Talking about voting under Difficult
t1es," remarked Representative J.
Adam Bede, Of Minnesota, few days
ago, II remember out in my State In
former times there was popular law
that Indians who wore clothes could
vote. The woods were full Of Indians,
but suits of clothes were mighty scarce
around there, especially with the In
dams. Whenever there was no special
interest in the election or 1t was all
one way the ingenuity of man was not
stirred up sufficiently to put two and
two together in such way as to get
those Indians to vote, but one day votes
were mighty valuable and an energetic
worker set out to get Indians.
1.-THE red men were as thick as flies,
but every last one Of them had blan-
ket wrapped about him and very few
Of them had ever had on the clothing
of civilization. The proposition to let
them vote If they wore clothes was
made in order to encourage them in
the ways Of civilization and also with
the idea that a man who had on clothes
would be pretty intelligent Indian.
"Well, the demand for votes stirred
up one of the ward workers. and he
got an old suit of clothes and took it
to hut near the voting precinct. One
by one Indians were brought in dressed
up in the clothing of civilization and
voted. As soon as an Indian had been
voted he was hurried back to the hut
and his clothing was transferred to an
other Indian. The idea spread and 9th
er enterprlsing political workers set
up the same kind of business. The
number Of Indians that could be vo-
ted with one suit Of clothes was mere
~ limited to the number of changes
that could be made. Each suit Of
clothes was easily good to vote 30 In
dams. The lightning change acts that
were performed by the Indians would
be an object lesson to lightning change
artists on the stage. "-Washingto

He looked hastily at the girl. Her
sweet eyes were dim with tears. She
hurriedly bent her head. He stooped

When fortune had no smile for you, and
joy seemed out of reach,
And you and happiness, alasI were
very far apart,
Did you ever stand at twilight on some
quiet, Yave-washed beach,
And let the seas soft monotone speak
comfort to your heart?
When life had lost its SAVIOR and chill
disappointment fell
On the cherished plan or project that
you had gladly made,
Did you ever bend your footsteps to
some green and tranquil dell,
Where the trees grow leaves for heal
ing and birds sing unafraid2
When death had cast its shadow, and q
loving voice was still
That had been as tender music to the
sunshine of your day, >sF

sweet In speech,

well within our reach,
We must come as trustful seekers and
draw ever near her heart. --

FLAMINGO AT HOME.

Observation Has Proved that Both the
Male and Female Incubate.
Apparently two factors enter into
the flamingos' type Of architecture,
| writes Frank NJ. Chapman in "a Fla
mingo City" They must build where
there Is mud, and at the same time
erect structure high enough to pro-
| tect Its contents from any normal rise
in the water due to tides or rainfall.
After watching a nesting colony Of
famingos in the Bahamas for nearly
an hour" at a distance Of $50 yards,
Sdr Henry Blake stated that the fe-
males sat upon the nests while the
males stood up together, evidently
near by. My dissections, however,
showed that both sexes incubate while
continued observation from the tent re-
vealed the presence of only one bird
OF the pair In the rookery at the same
time. The bird on the nest was re-
lleved late in the afternoon and early
In the morning. The one, therefore,
which incubated during the day fed at
night, and his or her place was taken
by another which had been feeding
during the day. Or, as Peter put it;
Il do t'ink, sir, dat when de lady fllly.
mingo leave de nest, den de gentle
man fllymingo take her place, sir; yes,
sir"
Morning and evening, then, there
was much activity in the rookery. Sin
gle birds, or files of as many as tiftv.
were almost constantly arriving and
departing, coming from and radiatin9
to every point of the compass.

other bird known to me. With legs
