TUBERCULOSIS KILLS RED MEN.
Awful Ravages Of This Disease
Among the Indians.

THE full blood Indians of the
United States are scarcely holding
their own in point of increase of
population" remarked Capt. Downs,
special Indian agent of the United
States government.
I'm some of the tribes there is a
slight increase, but it is among the
mixed breeds and not among those Of
pure aboriginal stock. The deadly foe
of the red man continues now, as for
many years past, to be tuberculosis.
Just why this disease should seem
to commit greater ravages among the
Indians is difficult to understand. At
first the theory was that it was due
to their changed mode of existence;
that the transition from a savage to
civilized life made them peculiarly
susceptible. | am inclined to think
that there is but little basis for this
view, especially as the number of vic
tins claimed by consumption shows
no sign of diminution, although many
years have elapsed since the Indian
forsook his primitive ways of living,
"A more reasonable explanation is
found in the present habits of the peo-
pie. In building their tepees or log
houses they make very scant allow
ance for ventilation, and sleep in quar-
tiers from which fresh air is largely
excluded. Besides, dozen or more in.
dividuals will occupy a room that
ought not at the most to contain more
than two. Another bad practice of
which it is difficult to break them is
that of the common pipe. A group of
Indians will take turns in smoking
the same pipe, and if one of the party
be diseased there is always the dan
ger of its being transmitted. Wash,
ington Post.

Wanderers Soma,

There will be, when come home, though
the hiIl-gap in the west
The friendly smile of the sun on the
fields that | love best;
The red-tOpped clover here. and the
white whOTled daisy there.
And the bloom of the wlding brair that
affairs the upland air,
There will be bird-mirth sweet (mellower
none may knowD
The flute of the wild woodthrush, the
call of the vireo;
Pleasant gossip of the leaves, and from
the dawn to the gloam
The lyric laughter of brooks there will
be when / come home.
There will be, when 1 come home, the
kindness of the earth
All, how ! love it all, bounteous breadth
and girth!
The very sod will say-tendril, fiber and
root
Here is our foster child, he of the wan
dering foot.
Welcome! welcome!" And 10! / shall
pause at gate ajar
That the leaning lilacs shade, where the
honeysuckles are;
shall see the open door-O farer over
the foam,
The ease of this hunger of heart there
will be when 1 come home!

uncle, Captain Abel Woods, in whose
care she had been committed by her
father. 1t was obvious that girl as
attractive as was Arabella and with
money to boot would not long remain
unmarried and when she did marry
the $500 allowed him annually for her
maintenance and schooling ceased.
Then Captain Bugbee came on the
scene and paid ardent court to Ara
bella. 1t is possible that Captain Bug
bee had had a regard for his parents
and also as to the future welfare of
his soul, but the one thing he loved
was money. Had he been a poet, and
happily he was not, his impassioned

odes would have been dedicated to
dollars rather than to raven tresses
or to liquid blue eyes. The very at
tractive personality of the girl was en-
tirely secondary to the snug sum of
money she would inherit and Captain
Bugbee determined at all odds to have
the money and as a necessity the
girl. But he did not find favor with
Arabella and the willy mariner enlist
ed the support of Captain Woods by
playing upon his cupidity. He prom
Used, that in the event of Arabella
marrying him he would reside with
his wife at the Woods home and the
$500 would be increased to $500 a
year. AS Arabella was gentle and
had no doubt of, succeeding in per-
suading her to consent to marrying
Captain Bugbee. He had no appar-
ent rivals, for country beaux were not
countenanced and she knew no one
outside of the village. True, she had
spent two months in Baltimore the
past year with Mrs. Woods sister, but
she seemed to have made no acquaint-
ances. The negotiation dragged and
Captain Bugbee's hunger to possess
the money grew. Finally, Arabella
was commanded by her uncle to pre-
pare to marry Captain Bugbee in
three weeks, and, to his surprise, the
girl made no violent protest.
