Children of splendid intellectual en-.

stupid" says an observing teacher.
1.-The sharp child who learns u lesson
IN the shortest possible time, who is
first with his answers in the mental
arithmetic class, who can produce
dates and geographical names on de-
mand, is the one the teacher loves, and
most commonly he is the one who in
after life goes on the safe road to COM
petence, but he is not one Of those
whose thoughts will be treasured by

OLD INDIAN PIPES.


an Enemy Slain.
1t need scarcely be too that in the
pipes of long ago each feather append
ed to the stem represented an enemy
slain. If one doubted the record of
the war eagle feathers. the warrior
then showed the scalps of the enemy,
which We're kept as n sort OF sacred
proof Of his word. Such pipes We're
used only on occasions of pe;,ce and
war. Speaking roughly, the best pipes
of eastern tribes were in nodded clay,
the best of the western tribes III slate
pipe stone taken from the famous quar-
ry west Of the Mississippi. Before the
great buffalo and antelope hunts, when
herds Of game We're driven into Il pound

customary for the Indians TO Whit the
incense of Precipitation TO the spirits Of

PEELED the Indian to kill and that the
hunt was the will of the Master of Life,
or Master of the Roaring Winds" who
would compensate the animals in the
next world. The pipes used for this
ceremony usually show the figure of
man in conference with the figure of
an animal. Others show the figures, Of
Indians with locked hands. This typi-
fies vow of friendship TO lie tormi-
mated only by death. 1t was usually
between men, but sometimes between
Il man and Il woman. in which case the
platonic bond not only prccluded, but
forbade. the very possibility of mar

Large Numbers Of Refugees Arrive at

BY Associated Press.
VIENNA, Dec. 7.-Dispatches re-
ceived here from Lemberg say that
large numbers of Russian refugees are
coming in daily. There are 500 Of them
at Cracow. They all give excited ter
rified accounts of the occurrences in
Russia Many of the refugees formerly
were men Of considerable wealth and
standing, but they left everything be-
hind and now are almost reduced to
beggary.
The people of Lemberg declare that
murders and rioting continue at Kieff.
The refugees who have arrived at
Podwoloczyska say that excesses
against the Jews have occurred at
Schmerynka and Serbinowow. No de-
tails are given.
Trains from Odessa and Kieff are
now arriving at Podwoloczyska on
time. Refugees and kilograms are be-
ing forwarded by the railroads.
At Czernowitz the telegraphers say
that the governor of Odessa has posted
notices in the streets to the effect that
the slightest disturbances will imme-
diately be put down with rifles. Large
numbers of troops are stationed In ana
about odessa
An official statement shows that 5000
persons have been killed at odessa
since the beginning of the troubles.
Advices from Bucharest say the peo-
pie of Moscow and Nikolaieff are suf-
fering from lack of water bread, light
and meat. Almost all the factories and
Jewish homes in Rostoff have been de-
stroyed.
In recent encounter at Odessa be-
tween students and troops many stu
dents were killed. Funeral services for
the students slain We're held at the
university building.
The latest arrivals at Jassy, Media

ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 6.-Wednes-

Prussia, Dec. THE news of the @s-
sassinatior of Lieut.. Gen. SakharoH,
former minister of war, who was shot
in the governors palace at Saratoff
December 5. had been preceded by the
most horrible stories of the manner in
which Sakharoff had been REFRESHING
the agrarian disorders. He corraled
peasants with Cossacks and then had
them beaten with the soldiers whips.
In so doing Salxharoff pursued the sys-
TEN adopted by Prince John Obolensky,
former governor general of Finland,
in suppressing the agrarians in
the vicinity of Kharkoff several
years ago, when the prince
caused the peasants to be whipped by
relays of Cossacks and compelled them
in turn to beat their comrades.
The assassin of Sakharon has not

committed the crime was arrested she

APPEAL IN JEWS BEHALF
Leaders in England Say New Regime
Is only Hope
~ Assoclated Press.

by Associated Press.
LONDON. Dec. Tn an important
appeal in behalf Of the oppressed Jews
I'm Russia, signed by Lord Rothschld.
Sir Samuel Montague and a number of
other leaders of the Jewish movement
in Great Britain, the admission is made
that for the bulk of the Russian Jews
there is no hope OF salvation except
through a new regime of liberty and
justice, when they will receive equal
rights with their fellow citizens of
every creed. The appeal points out that
and emigration can only benefit small
proportion Of the sufferers and It there
fore calls on all Jews and their sympa
thizers to abandon the great colonial
tion schemes for the more practical
program Of emigration and the grant
ing of immediate aid to the suffering
and bereaved.
The signatores to the appeal ask
where there is to be found the $780,
C00,000 required, at $3.50 per head, to
transplant the first million Jews from
Russia, not to say anything of the total
OF 100000 Russian Jews for whom all
the schemes hitherto proposed had been
quite inadequate, while the formation
of such an autonomous Ghetto state,
even if a territory large enough could
be obtained. would be open to many
grave objections. On the other hand, 1t
says $3.50 would emigrate six persons to
Argentina or Canada. In conclusion

A large number of bills were intro
duced, among them being the joint
statehood bill.
At the beginning Of todays session
of the senate the vice president des-
ignated Messrs. Lodge and Bacon to
serve on the board OF regents Of the
Smithsonian Institution.
Mr.. Tillman called up his resolution
calling upon the secretary Of the treas
ury for information as to whether the
reports of bank examiners show the
payment Of campaign contributions
by national banks, aud addressed the
senate. Outlining his reason for the in
quiry. he called attention to the re-
commentator by the president in his
annual message of 1904 and 1905 for
the enactment Of a law for the proteC-
tion against bribery and corruption in
connection with elections. He quoted
with especial emphasis the Presidents
remarks concerning campaign Contri-
buttons by corporations.
"Our chief executive has taken n
very progressive stand TO secure purity
I'm elections" he said. and added:
Every good American will say well
done and look for progress along that
line"
Before Mr. Tillman had proceeded far
Mr. Gallinger, who had yesterday OBJ
jected to- the consideration of the reso-
luton at that time, said that he had
done so only for the purpose of in
specting 1t; that he had done so, and
being entirely satisfied as to its pro-
priety, would support the resolution.
