SCHOOL FOR MESA CHILDREN.

Little Ones Climb Down Immense Rock
to Get Instruction.
Youths Companions: The home Of
the Oraibi branch Of the Moqui In
dams is a mesa 500 feet high, upon
which the old Indians practice the
snake dance and other favorite cere-
monies of the tribe. But it is probable
that the coming generation, or, per-
haps, the present one, will grow out Of
these things. The white man with his
school house and other usages of civil
lization, has found the young Indians
and made friends of them.
A few years ago these Indians of the
mesa were considered hostile because
they exhibited more opposition to the
influence of the whites than did the
other Moquis. When it was proposed
TO build a school house at the base of
the mesa and to place all the children
In school, the parents stubbornly re-
fused to permit 1T. But a house was
built, and after long and persistent eff
enrolled as a pupil. The Indians, who
had so vigorously opposed at first, be-
came Jealous friends OF the school as
soon as they saw the results of it.
The enterprise has been very sue
c~essful, and now one may stand near
the school at z o'clock in the morning,
and looking up at the plateau, 500 feet
above, see suddenly q curious thing.
Little children. looking like dolls, begin
to appear over the edge Of the mesa.
One child ONE into view behind an
other, and soon the face of the great
rock is alive with the little creatures
as they descend, in single file, the
steep, zigzag path leading to the base
of the mesa and the school. The little
folk seem to be hanging to the wall cc
the immense rock as they slowly de-
scend the face of it. They keep pour
ing over the edge of the top, and the
head OF the line has reached the school
on the plain below before the last Of
Ii leaves the mesa.
When the struggling line comes fully
into view 1t is nearly a half mile long.
A fanciful person might see In it's con-
volutions on the path some resem-
blance to the movement of a snake.
and think of II as the snake dance with
which the young Indians have replaced
that of their grandfathe-s.
In this school there are ITO children.
and In regularity OF attendance 1t is
said 10 head the list Of Indian day
schools in all the country. A fine large
new building. costing between SO, 900
and $4,000, has taken the place of the
first school house. New clothes, such
as white children wear, are supplied
the pupils when they enter school.
The children are fond OF their lessons,
and the teachers have but few conn
plants to make OF bad behavior.
There are specialists OF various sorts
among the New York street merchants.
men who sell collar buttons, men who
sell shoe laces. and so on, but as odd
a specialist as IN is the nan who sells
small boys knee pants.' He displays
his wares In a basket on the edge OF a
downtown thoroughfare that leads to
a big market, and relies for his trade
on mothers passing that way to do the
family marketing.

chicago Tribune: While it is a fact
that the trades are not SO attractise
to the young man Of today as thes
were to the father, there is sun much
room and opportunity for the rlshl
young man in many or the skilleu
crafts. Aside from the question OF
nav that may be earned as a Journey
man tradesman, the journeyman Is not
without his chances TO make some
thing else OF himself besides a mere
worker for day wages. He can In some
trades work up into positions or worth
and responsibility; in others he can get
into business for himself olreciy
through his trade. Perhaps in thls
! direction lies the solution of the sue
cess problem for the worker in a trade
rather than in the line of promotion
with his employers. -,
The young man who is determined
to enter a trade and who is possessed
Of one iota of ambition should con-
slider first of all what hope a trade OF
fers him in the way of eventually De
coming a business man through MS Ell
forts at the line of work chosen be-
fore he makes a decision. If he does
not, and goes into a trade simply be-
cause it is easy to get into, easy 10
learn. and one in which the pay after
a year or so is higher than In others,
he is throwing away his golden oppor-
tunity.
Be Careful in Choosing a Trade.
There are trades and trades. In some
a workman can hardly hope to be any
thing but a wage Garner, no matter
how long or how hard he works. Eco

man entering them becomes nothing
more or less than an intelligent ma
chine, a machine that will earn good
wages for so long as it can perform
its duties with entire satisfaction to
the employer. These conditions abso-
lutely forbid the man in the trade to
hope for ANYTHING better than wages
as his portion Of the work, for the
great capital necessary to a even
the smallest beginning is prohibitive to
any worker.
Then there are other trades where
the man with industry, economy, and
a good share of business can readily
become q business man on a small
scale after several years work. These
are the trades that a young man should
be careful to pick for himself If he is
to learn q trade. The others he should
shun, for they offer nothing s~atisfac-

and conscientious effort. They offer
only day wages, and, TO the isolated eX-
ceptions, the chance TO become a fore
man; but the intelligent, fairly edu-
Gated American of today is not salts
fed to work for another all his life.
He wants to be "in business for him
self" and this certain trades offer him
a chance to do.
Building Lines the Best.
Which trade is the best to enter for
a man ambitious to secure his own
shop or business through a trade, no
n would have the temerity to say
absolutely. There are several of a ma
ture similar that will run strong fav-
orites on this question. AS a class they
stand quite separate from those in
which the chance for the worker ever to
become anything but a worker is re-
duced to a minimum. To the writer
the trades which might be classed as
the easiest to become independent of
an employer in are: Carpenters,

PEOPLE OF CASHMERE ALL WISE

In conversation with a num-
Der of Cashmere people last
Saturday the writer learned that
there is a quiet movement on
foot among the people of that
enterprising and growing town
to start paper. The business
men of that town can not afford
to support a paper that is full of
cut price advertisements of We
natchee business houses, full of
boosts for Wenatchee, full of
pictures of Seattle and We
natchee people. The good peo-
pie of Cashmere are interested
in building up their own town, in
settling up and developing their
own beautiful valley. If they
contribute money to the support
of q newspaper they want the
owner or the paper 10 i've IN
their own town so that his inter
ests will make him loyal to his
home town.
Then, too, he will spend his
money with the people from
whom he gets his support.
We entertained suspician
that the Cashmere people were
too wise to be cajoled with a few
pictures into supporting the
Wenatchee Republic with a
Cashmere head and date line.
1t would be to question their
good sense, and raise a doubt if
they had any pride in the devel-
opment of their own good town
and beautiful valley, to come to
any other conclusion.

OLD BOOKS NOT GOOD COLLAT-

The story told on a Wenatchee
publisher who tried to negotiate
a loan of $500 and offered copy
of an old book as collateral, is
not half bad, and will bear re-
peating. He told the man of
money that the book was printed
in the fifteenth century and pos
sessed great value in the eyes
of book lovers.
The man of money is of very
practical turn of mind, as men of
money quite often are, and was
in no wise afflicted with biblio-
mania, or posted on the value of
old books, and he demurred to
the sufficiency of the security of

money but an abundance of per-

would be worth more, and a new
book bound in calf would surely

that the negotiations were alb
