Woman Rules Snake Indians.

Alexander Posey, Interpreter and
diplomat Of the Dawes commission,
who recently spent some time among
the Snake Indians to secure evidence
needed i'll making record Of Creek In
dams, tells of strange discovery he
has made.
Among the fullblood Snakes he
found woman who is the modern
Zenobia of her race. Her Indian name
is Fahnee. She can not speak Eng
Iish, but is considered a woman of
wisdom among her tribesmen. She is
so years old, and for years there has
not been a council of war, or any
other matter of import to the tribe,
at which she has not been present and
given advice.
She is always listened to by the
men Of the tribe, and seldom has her
judgment been at fault. She has been
in sympathy with the faction, which
has always resisted the allotment Of
lands.
She has never led a band of IN
dians in a fight, but she has taken a
very active part in shaping the policy
Of the tribal government Tor the las!
twenty-five years.

TiRC2 CUT HIS OPPONENTS.
Secretary Bonaparte Secured Victory
by Repeating Speech.

While Charles J. BOnaparte, the new
secretary Of the navy, was connected
with the Baltimore Reform league it
was decided to investigate the con
duct Of a prominent federal office
holder. Friends Of the crooked official
learned this and resolved to pack"
the council, so that the report might
be voted down. Mr.. BOnaparte
listened attentively to the arguments
against the report, and then rose to
give his own views, bitterly attack
ing the official and urging that the
changes be Immediately accepted. He
saw, however, that his words would
have little effect on that portion OF
his audience which sided with the
accused man, so when he had finished
his discourse he began over again re-
peating his speech word for word,
pause for pause, gesture for gesture
not once, but a dozen times, until
toward morning the friends of the
accused official were fast asleep. Mr..
BOnaparte and his associates then
approved the report.

TWO GIRLS INDIAN ANCESTRY.

3asis of Claims that Secured Them
Valuable Tracts Of Land.
A romance that has come down
through several centuries Las recent
~ developed as the result Of the
Dawes commission awarding allot
ments Of valuable land to two ST
Louis young women, the Misses Jes
sic Mae and Blanche Hail.
It was necessary in the cases OF
the Misses Hall IL trace their ances-
try Enthusiastically to an Indian parent.
The romance that has developed be
gan when their great-great-grand-
father came to America as French
yoyageur.
Thomas Condray was a member of
a wealthy, aristocratic French fam
lily. His health failed early in life,
and the trip to America was advised
by physicians and finally agreed to
by alarmed parents.
He came with the view of return
ing to France after a few months,
but a beautiful Cherokee maiden in
terrupted his plans; he paid court to
ed in America with his Indian wife
and children.
Through Florida he had drifted into
Georgia, and there met the Cherokee
girl, whose blood still courses suffi-
GENTLY in the veins of these two St.
Louis young women to entitle them
to equal rights with the full-blOod
tribesmen of to-day.
The ancestry was traced directly
by the Dawes commission, and upon
their investigation Of the alleged
rights OF the Misses Hall was estab-
lished their title to the land. They
have 600 acres Of as valuable land as
is included in the domain Of the five
tribes. The young women are but
1-16th Indian blood.-St. Louis Globe

in 1891. In 1888 the worlds output was
100000 pounds, in which the United
states led Switzerland, France and Great
Britain coming next in order. Last year
8. .6OO.oO0 pounds of the metal was made in
the UnitedStates a gain of 100000 pounds
over 1908 Twenty years earlier the out

greatest aluminium manufacturing plant

tion or rejection women as well as men
were entitled to vote All both men and
women had 20 register for the election.
There are In Seattle about GO.OOO men and
women Of voting age. but only i2l2 felt
enough interest in the election TO register.
on election day only 542 persons voted.
How many of these were women We are
not advised. But the Seattle Times said
that many Of those who registered We're

in the WOmans Journal the figures show

tlon are Commended to MI Cleveland"
Not long ago Mr Celeveland published
an article in which he opposed female
suffrage.
Why the Seattle figures are commended
to him does not appear. unless ii IS to
confirm him IN his opinion. one reason,
and the chief one. why the ballot Is not
given to women is that they do not want

Lie PNEUMONIA SEASON.

II HE pneumonia season has arrived
Il and the death list from this
cause is likely to be large for the next
few months. Pneumonia Is peculiarly
Ia cold weather disease and generally
speaking, an old mans disease: and in
an probability most persons who es-
cape its ravages owe their immunity
TO their ability to Withstand and neu-
tralize the infection that Is ever pres
ent.
The care people take OF themselves
has much to do with the spread Of
this scourge. At all times virulent
bacterial disease pneumonia is aggra-
waited by any habits that reduce vital
lity. Excessive use OF tobacco and H.
quor produces a congested condition
Of the mucous membrane. This. with
a disturbed circulation. invites pneu-
monla. People live in rooms that are
too warm, or work In offices where the
Temperature is too high. Exposure to
severe weather after leaving an over
heated apartment invites colds which
too often result in pneumonia,
Temperate habits In eating and
drinking. regular bathing. care not to
heat rooms to too great a degree. and
a fair amount Of outdoor exercise arc
among the best preventives Of this dis
ease. though constitutional defects.
which cannot be taken into account in
lenumerating known facts. are often the
underlying cause Of this, az well as
other diseases. II regard for these
things viii minimize a scourge that
has been responsible for 10 per cent. Of
all the deaths in the United states dur
ing the past five years, 1t will pay to
consider well the question Of prevent
ives.
