times won, and in playing authors
again she expected to renew many &C.
quaintances. To her surprise, there
were not many left to renew. The
writers that had been immortalized
in a deck of cards a quarter of a cen
fury ago had been relegated to library
shelves and superseded by new and
popular authors. Only Dickens and
Thackery and Holmes remained of the
old-time favOrites. That was because
styles must change in playing cards,
as in everything else. Just at pres
ent there is an unusually heavy de-
mand for the game of authors. The
publishers are turning out many diff
ferent sets. There are scientific
decks, made up of writer's on scien-
tifc subjects, and decks fictional, po-
etical, historical, classical and miscel-
laneous. One enterprising firm has
even gone so far as to issue a mag
azine deck, composed entirely of the
names and works of magazine writ
ers whose output has so far been lin
tied to short stories. The Old Per
son learned all these things during her
first game of cards. but although she
appreciated the information, she felt
that she had not thoroughly enjoyed
the game.

MONEY VALUE IN
EUROPE AND HERE

A friend of the editor asks this cues
ton: why do Americans, as a rule,
go after the dollar harder than the
Europeans?"
That is easy.
Plainly, because dollars will buy
more in this country than in Europe.
Dollars will buy some things there,
but here they will buy everything that
is worth buying. In Europe it makes
no difference how much money a man
has, nor how decent his character,
neither he nor his family can amount
to anything in particular. He must
be morn to the manor Else the door
of opportunity is closed. In this coun-
try, if he is the right sort of a man.
he can buy freedom from fear and
worry, recognition, independence. He
can aspire TO and become all that any
other American a aspire to become.
And that is why our critics across
the waters fail to understand us.
Years ago they called us a nation of
shopkeepers. They can see us only
as dollar cnasers. But
The fact is we want money for the
things it will buy. We do not hoard
II. We are royal spenders.
or course, there are some among us
who believe that money will buy any,
thing-contentment, happiness, or
even character. They learn differ
emily.
But surely, it is not altogether an
unworthy motive that we should de
sire money that we may minister tc
the well being of those that we are
FOND OF. II is NOT a sordid desire
this n Of wanting money to educat,
our children and give them a chanc,
in life better than our chance. Anl
that is why Fritz and Patrick anC
Nels and Antonio and Moses, wher
they come to us over sea, join Will
us in the dollar chase.
1t is only when we begin to long 70.
dollars we cannot use that we becom,
money mad.
The American wants dollars 70
what they will buy, and he buys Yha
he wants.

WILL SEARCH TlBUR0N
ISLAND FOR BROTHER
WHO HAS BEEN MISSING SINCE
LAST JUNE AMONG THE CAN.
MEALS OF THE ISLAND.

To find some trace of his brother
Prof. Tomas Grindell, Of Douglas
Ariz., who set out on an exploration
trip TO the Tiburon islands June 1,
and has only been heard from once
since, will ~henceforth be the mission
Of e. p. Grindell, the Arizona repre-.
sentative of the International Core
spondence schools.
Already returned from one expedi.
ton of search which failed because of
the desertion of the Indian guide,
Grindell has written Fred S. Kerr, SUI
p~erintendent of the Denver agency of
the Correspondence schools, that he
has resigned his position to form a
second expedition. On this trip, he
Says, he will be accompanied by a
larger party and good guides.
The first expedition took him as far
as Sonora, Mexico.
If Thomas Grindell is ever found
alive he probably will have a story of
adventure to tell that will parallel one
Of Jules Verne's or Cooper's books in
narrowing experiences.
With a party of six he left Bisbee,
Ariz., with the avowed intention of
exploring the Tiburon islands, which
are located west of Hermossilo, Mex
leo.
When he reached Guaymas, Mexico,
he wrote his brother and said he ex-
pected to return from the islands to
the Mexican coast about August 1.
This is the last communication he
received from him.
The Tiburon islands are inhabited
by the Seri Indians, a tribe believed
to be cannibalistic in habits. Several
explorers who have visited the islands
in the past have been attacked by the
ferocious savages and have narrowly
escaped being killed. Grindell made
a trip to the islands, and became so
interested in the country and its in.
habitants that he resolved to organ
ize another expedition and make a
more thorough investigation. 1t is
thought that he either had a hostile
encounter with the Seri Indians and
was killed by them, or was attacked
by the Yaquis after reaching the Mex.
lean coast.
About ten years ago an adventur-
Gus newspaper man by the name of
Robinson, left Phoenix with two com
panions to make an exploration of
the Tiburon islands. For many months
the party was not heard from, when
finally one of Robinson's companions
arrived on the Mexican coast and re-
ported that Robinson had been killed
by, the natives during an attack on
the party. The fact was reported to
the Mexican government and it as.
sisted in recovering the body.

MANAGEMENT BY CONGRESS OF
CHIPPEWA INDIAN FORESTS

had the law provided for the protec-
ton from cutting of rs to 80 per cent,
but 5 per cent was all that could be
obtained at the time me Morris bill
was passed.
The law of 1889 provides for the
sale of the land and the pine at the
same time. The law of 1902 separ-
ated the two. The pine was to be
sold, but the denuded land was to be
classed as agricultural and to be open
ed to homestead sale and settlement,
except the portion destined for a for
est reserve. Great care was taken to
prescribe such methods of sale as
would permit the realization of the
highest price for the timber, the pro-
ceeds from the sale of which were to
go to the Indians. Briefly put, there
fore, the intent of the law was to Sc
cure for the Indians the full market
price for the timber sold, to provide
against the destruction of a forest part
OF which might advantageously be
made permanent by leaving a small
percentage Of the merchantable trees,
and to open to agricultural use the
land suitable for this purpose.
The pine timber on the 105 900
acres ali eady selected by the bureau
has been sold, subject to the 3 per
cent reservation clause. 1t brought a
better price than did similar timber
outside the reserve, sold without such
restrictions. The bureau has marked
on $4,000 acres the 3 per cent of trees
which are to be left standing, and the
work of marking the remainder is rap
idly going forward. 1t is estimated
that it will require three or four years
to remove the timber from the lands
already selected, and that it will be
seven or eight years before the timber
of the whole 200, 900 acres is removed.
In the meantime the bureau has per-
formed its duty under the law care
fully, and as expeditiously as possible.
1t located the reserve on the head
waters Of the Mississippi, where ii
will most effectively serve its func-
ton. The location of this 6,400 acres
comprising the ten sections reserved
from sale or settlement is also con
coded to be the most advantageous
possible. The agents of the bureau
have more than half finished marking
the . per cent of trees to be left on
the first selection, and in this work
will easily keep ahead of the lumber
ing under the sales that have been
made.

The Minnesota Forest reserve
stands alone as the only forest reserve
ever created by act of congress, not
by presidential proclamation. Execu-
tive authority is limited to those pub
lie lands which have not been other
wise appropriated. The Minnesota
reserve is part of the land formerly
set aside for the Chippewa Indians,
and hence was not public land, subject
to presidential action. Congress alone
had control of this land. 1t passed
a law, in 1902, known as the Morris
BILL regulating the sale of the pine
timber on the 5000, 900 acres ceded
to the government by the Indians, and
setting aside 225, 900 acres of it as a
forest reserve.
In addition, certain specified tracts,
and all the islands in Cass and Leech
lakes, were reserved as Indian lands,
together with $500 acres more, to be
designated by the Bureau of Forestry,
and resolved absolutely from both
sale and sediment. OF the 225,O
acres 100000 must be selected from
land classed as pine land" and the
remaining $4,000 acres from land clas-
sified as agricultural land" The. Sc
lection Of all this was also assigned
To the same bureau. The 6,400 acres
chosen lie along the east and south
shores Of Cass lake, and all around
an arm of this lake, extending south
ward, called Pike Bay, and four or
five small lakes Immediately south
of it. Nature has made the locality
exceedingly attractive, and reserving
it from the axe and settlement will
keep from destruction the wilderness
beauty of these lakes, set in forests of
virgin pine.
OF the 225,OO0 acres, the bureau has
already selected los, 900, lying in a
fairly compact body northeast, east,
and southeast of Cass lake. The Sc
lection of the remaining 100, 600 acres
awaits the completion of the Indian
allotments to be made in that region,
and the %delineation by the Wan De
partment of the exact flowage lines
for the areas that will be submerged
when the water reaches the legal
height behind its TWO dams, already

SOME QUEER FREAKS WHICH
SUPERSTITION OFTEN ASSUMES

Ct. p. o'Connor in Chicago Tribu

The root of all superstition" says
Bacon, lis that to the nature of the
mind of nan it is |consonant for the
affirmative, or active, to affect more
than the negative, or positive, so that
a few times hitting or presence coun-
tervails ofttimes failing or absence
For example, some months since, a
woman friend of mine, in a country
town, had a city palmist down for the
entertainment of her guests, two of
whom the chiromancer so MORALLY af-
fronted by proclaiming publicly that
they would never find husbands that
they at once quilted Indignantly the
room and the house. Yet, though
neither was engaged, nor had the
slightest prospect of being engaged, at
the time, both were married within a
few months.
Not much point in that story? No,
and therefore | tell it, because it il
Illustrates the kind of story which no
one tells. If the palmist had predicted
that these two women, who for many
reasons seemed unlikely to be mated,
would be married in a few months,
every one would have told the story.
Here, on the other hand, is the kind
of story which every one tells. Last
August, the Archduke Joseph August
consulted the famous fortune teller of
Budapest, Adela, who predicted that
he would within a year rob a wife of
her husband and two widows of their
only sons-a prediction which greatly
amused the archduke and his friends.
They had hardly ceased laughing 1t
the preposterous prediction, when in
the following month the Archduke
Joseph August knocked down with his
motor in the streets of the Hungarian
capital a laundryman named Pletsch,
who died under an operation for his
injuries. Having thus robbed a wife
of her husband, there remained for the
archduke to rob two widows of their
only sons. The first of the two, a man
named Bauer, was knocked down and
killed by the archduke's carriage in
the following February, while last
month, the second, a mar named
Euler, was dispatched by a motor
driven by the aTchduke through the
suburbs Of Budapest.
In the last case the archduke's dread
of the catastrophe may have helped
to bring 1t about. He had given up
motoring, and even driving. through
fear of the fulfillment of Adela's last
prediction; but he was persuaded by
his friend, Won Klausenbeig, to &C
company him in a motor ride through
the suburbs of Budapest. On the re-

CARD SYSTEM ADOPTED

Superintendent Clinton J. Crandall,
of the United States Indian Training
School in Santa Fe, has introduced
the cad system in keeping the sta
ustics of the PueblOs of northern
New Mexico over which he has SUI
peryision. Each card is devoted to
the head of a family, and gives his
biography, the number Of acres he
c~ultivates, the number of cattle, sheep
and horses he owns, the names of his
wife and children, and other Stats
tics as are demanded by the Indian
bureau, Every three months the day
school teacher at each pueblo is
asked 10 revise the cards. Thus the
statistics for each village are always
at hand in a convenient and accurate
form.
