GHE SUIT FOR FIFTY
But IL Made It Possible For These In
diana to Note.

But IL Made it Possible For These In
dians TO Vote.
Talking about voting under diff
cuities, remarked q oongressmen
fronl Minnesota few dnys ago, 81
remember in my state in former
tlmes there was popular law that
Indians who wore clothes could vote.
The wooils were full of Indians, but
suits of clothes were mighty scarce
around there, especially with the In
dians. Whenever there was no spe-
cial interest in the election or it 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.
'The red men were as thick as
aias, but every last one of them had
blanket 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 civ
ilization and also with the idea that
man who had on clothes would be
pretty intelligent Indian.
"Well, .ne demand fer votes
stirred up one Of the hard workers,
and he got an old suit Of clothes
and took it to hut near the voting
precinct. One by one the 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
other enterprising political workers
set up the same kind of business.
The number of Indians that could
be voted with one suit Of clothes
was merely limited to the number.
Of changes that could be made. Each
suit Of clothes was easily good to
vote fifty Indians. The lightning
change acts that were performed by
the Indians would be an object les
son to lightning change artists on
the stage. Washington Star.

The Word That 10 Seen Most frequent.
!y In Germany.
Germany is the land Of limita.
tions," writes Jerome Hart in the
Argonaut. "The word you see there
most frequently is syerboten' - for
bidden.' When you approach rail-
way station you see gigantic eyer-
botens' stuck all over the station
before you see anything else. It is
forbidden to go down a certain stair
case. It is forbidden to 90 up a GER
tain other one. It is forbidden to
get out of the railway carriage on
the side farthest from tho platform.
1t is forbidden to get OH or off of
the railway carriage while. it is in
motionI It is forbidden to get out
at all until you have given up your
ausgang coupon and are discharged
free. IT is forbidden to sick your
head out OF the window. 1t is for
hidden to throw bottles out Of the
window. 1t is forbidden to break
the window. 1t is forbidden to sound
4he danger signal unless your life is
an peril.
"When you have complied with
all the regulations, been ticketed,
punched, counted and have gone
through the Eausgang' you are apt
to find a big sign, sDurchgang Yer

repairs. But il you try to go back
through the tausgang,' whence you
have just emerged, you will find
that it is tverboten.' You must go
back into the station through some
other feingang' and then go out
again through some other tausgang.'
All through the German speaking
parts of Switzerland you find the
German eyerboten' also prevails in
railway stations and elsewhere.
Gone day I heard an American
woman in restaurant carriage say
to her husband as the train stopped,
Il wonder what the name of this sta
