bribes that the neighbors might not
charge her with neglect of maternal
duty, or her baby with an evil DISPOSE
ton. Yet another reason for the calm
and placid habit and orderliness of the
papoose as compared with his fair
brother is that the darker little saw
age has no cradle, crib or go-cart to
sport and gambol in, but is either
packed tightly in basket or strapped
to board. In this position he finds
kicking and squirming uncomfortable
exercise and his enforced repose de-
velops into habit.
So, the Stoicism and the taciturnity
Of the Indian are nurtured in early
youth, though of course one reason for
the Indians lack of f1uency in speech
Is that in his life and thought he has
not the need of many words. The
primitive white man was not voluble.
Bath Day of Papoose.
The papoose has no nursery luxu-
rles as little pale-face babes under
stand that phrase. He has no soft and
tepid water prepared for him by a
faithful maid or a fond mamma. He
is never lathered DER with perfumed
soap nor busted with sweet-scented
powders. At intervals, usually two or
three times week, the mothers of
the tribe or band take their babies to
the nearest creek, pool or spring, un-
strap the little ones and tumble them
into shallow water, where they have
a splashing time while the mothers
swap the gossip of the tribe, for
squaws are very feminine in their love
of personal news and chit-chat involv-
ing other squaws, bucks and braves.

LIMA ADDRESS.
set on foot similar to that so fortu-
nately carried out in the high Sierras
of the west by the national govern
ment. All the higher Applachians
should be reserved, either by the
states or by the nation. l much pre-
fer that they should be put under ma
tional control, but it is a mere truism
to say that they will not be, reservedi
either by the states or by the nation
unless you people of the South show
a strong interest therein.
Would Prevent Floods ar d Create
Water Power.
"Such reserves would be a paying
investment, not only in protection to
many interests, but in dollars and
cents to the government. The i'm
portance to the southern people of
protecting the southern mountain for
ests is obvious. These forests are
the best defense against the floods
which, in the recent past, have, during
a single twelfth-month, DESTROYED
property officially valued at nearly
twice what it would cost to buy the
Southern Appalachian reserve.
1.-The maintenance of your southern
water powers is not less important
than the prevention of floods, because
if they are injured your manufacture
ing interests will suffer with them.
The perpetuatiOn of your forests,
South, should be one of the first OBJ
jects of your public men. The two
senators from North Carolina have
taken an honorable part in this move
ment. But l do not think that the
people of North Carolina, or of any
other southern state, have quite grasp
ed the Importance of this movement
to the commercial development and
prosperity of the south.'
The Presidents Message to
Congress.
The special message sent to Con-
gress by the President on the South
ern Appalachian Reserve reads like a
story. 1t touches upon the interest in
the subject of the scientists and the
lumberman, of the geologist and the
farmer, the meteorologist and the
fruit grower, the business man and
the engineer, AMI the steamship pilot
and the homeseeker. The President
transmits with his message a report
of the Secretary of Agriculture, pre-
pared in collaboration with the De-
partment of the Interior, upon the
forests, rivers and mountains of the
Southern Appalachian region, and up
on its agricultural situation as affect
ed by them, and says in part:
The report of the Secretary pre-
sentS the final results of an inyeStiga-
ton authorized by the last Congress.
Its conclusions point Enthusiastically, in
the judgment of the Secretary and in
my own, to the creation of a national
forest reserve in certain parts of the
Southern States. The facts set forth

Death for Weakling Babies.
Nearly all Indian children that one
sees are hardy and well formed This
is because only those of robust consti-
tuition survive the trials and exposure
of their babyhood. 1t is desired that
only the naturally strong should sur
vive, for it is a custom in most of
the tribes to wilfully expose, suffoca e
or drown born weaklings or deformed
babies. Death is the lot of the un-
happy little baby whose health and
physique are below the tribal standard.
The Albino child, and these are more
common among the Indians than might
be supposed, is certain to perish soon
after birth, because the coming of such
a child is regarded as evidence of dis
pleasure of the Great Spirit.
The redskin babe is released from
his lacings and swaddlings as soon as
he is old enough to walk, and then
his real child life begins. He has
great freedom. When it is warm
enough to go without clothes, and the
Indian child is Injured to cold, he tum-
bles and romps naked. His pets are
dogs and ponies and is as fond of
these as are his blond cousins. AS he
grows old enough to run he takes an
interest in the athletic sports of the
tribe and the usual young Indian games
are deer and hounds, hide and seek
foot racing, pony racing, bow and arrow
shooting, spear throwing, wrestling
and follow the leader.

Developing the Brave.

The child is given every possible en-
couragement to play and is never
whipped by his parents, because it is
the Indians philosophy that whipping
breaks the spirit of the child and the
Indian ambition is to be brave and
self-reliant. 1t is fact that though
the Indian child is not subject to cor
poral punishment and the ruder forms
of discipline which white children are
often made to endure, they are rever-
ent, obedient, docile and extraordina-
rily respectful toward their parents
and seniors. 1t is the Spartan quality
which the mother and father strive to
develop in their boys.

SPUR 10 sPRINeFIELc.
Milwaukee Likely Will Build to South
Dakota Town.


Sioux Falls, S. D., April 10.-In ac-
cordance with promise made the
members of the state board of railroad
commissioners, while in Chicago few
weeks ago, on official business, the
Milwaukee railroad company sent a
civil engineer to Springfield for the
purpose Of making survey of a spur
which it is proposed to construct at
that place this summer with the object
of improving the railroad facilities Of
the town.
The railroad company, in construct
ing it's line to Running Water, on
the Missouri river in early days,
passed Springfield at point one and
one half miles distant from the town.
Recently the railroad commissioners
took steps to secure improved ia
cilities for the people of the town,
and it now seems certain that a spur
will be constructed from the main
line, to the heart of the town. The
engineer, after making the prelimi
nary survey, stated that the proposed
spur was feasible While no official
estimates of the cost have been given
out. it is thought the spur can be
constructed for from $4,000 to $12,-
900, while to change the main line so
it would pass thru the town, it is esti-
mated, would cost not less than $780,

miles south OF Newcastle, where camp
will be pitched for at least a week or
ten days. AS soon as the camp is
we'll established the extra men, as
well as several ranchmen and trap
pers who will be engaged will scour
the country in search of bear trails.
They will carefully note all the signs
and general locations, so that when
the president starts out there will be
no delay in looking for tracks. Citi-
zens of Newcastle are planning
novel reception to the president next
Saturday morning, which will be sub

that a grand parade be held. in which
President Roosevelt shall ride so he
can be seen by the citizens. At the
head of the procession will be mon
ster brown bear in cage. This ami
NAL was recently captured and is now
at the residence of Frank billiard,
where he has succeeded in killing at
least a dozen dogs and injured sever
al men who ventured too near him.
Golf and Borah will put their pack
of hounds in a corral and the bear
will be given an hours start for the
hills. Then the pack will be set on
the trail, and President Roosevelt, Dr.
Lambert, Philip B. Stewart and the
guides will follow in hot pursuit. This
is planned to be the official start of
the hunt.

COUNCIL OF WOMEN.
Opening Of Fifth Triennial Meeting
In WASHINGTON City.

Washington, April 10.-Many women
internationally prominent in the move
ment for the bettermant of womanhood
and childhood assembled at the Fist
Congregational church yesterday al
ternoon, when the fifth triennial meet
ing of the National Council of Women
of the United States was called to
order by the president, Mrs. Mary
Wood Swift. Miss Susan B. Anthony
received cordial greeting.
Addresses outlining the purposes of
the council were made by Mrs. j. Ell
len Foster, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell,
Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett. Mrs. Han
nah C. Solomon and Mrs. May Wright
Sewall.
Mrs. Foster said the legend of the
council was Lead, Kindly Light.
This. she said, meant not standing
still, but a moving; forward. Every
creed, she added, was in the council,
and every woman might stand for her
own. In no non Christian country
could such an organization have been
born nor in any country except re-
public.
Mrs. Terrell spoke of citizenship
from a woman's point of view, and in
this she touched on problems confront
ing the colored woman. "The colored
women of the country" she said, are
doing as much to promote good citizen
ship as their more fortunate sisters in
white. This is interpreted by them to
mean an intelligent regard and tender
care of their children and conscien-
tious and careful consideration of ev-
at.v condition which concerns the WeI~
fare of the race.
"Colored women" she concluded.

the protection of the womanhood of the
race, insisting that the men who trans

anese would calculate that he would
not dare to force a passage there. Be
sides Roiestvensky planned STRAIT
egg to deceive the Japanese with the
secret of which only two men In st.
Petersburg were entrusted. BY direct
ing the Russian admiralty to order the
GOLFERS which were to follow him to
rendezvous in Sunday straits, 500 miles
southwark of Singapore, feeling sure
that the Japanese intelligence depart
ment would be equal as it probably
was, to the task of ascertaining the
destination of Rojestvensky, and
thereby not only threw the Japanese
off the scent. but officially deceived
his own admiralty, where the news Of
the fleet having passed Singapore
probably created quite as much sur
prise as it did in the marine depart
ment at Toxic.
Sacrificed as Pawns.
Several Golfers were actually dis
patched to the rendezvous, and many
already had fallen into tina hands Of
the Japanese, but RoiestvensKy de-
liberately sacrificed them as pawns
in bigger game. That the ruse
worked is apparent from the fact
that Rojestvensky did not meet a
single Japanese ship in the straits of
Malacca. while dispatches from Ba-
tavia tells of Sunda Bali, Lonbok
Flores and other straits to the south
ward being crowded with Japanese
torpedo boats guarding the passages.
Altho there is some talk of pos
sibility of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
now putting in at Saigon, Cochin
China, it is not believed that further
advantage of French neutrality will!
be taken unless he is forced to do
SO, because of the condition of some
of his ships. The admiralty points
out the great Importance and advan-
tage to be gained by pushing on with
all possible speed and meeting Vice
Admiral Togo's heavy ships before he
can effect complete concentration of
his scattered cruisers, scouts and tor
pedo boats. The belief of the admir-
atty is that Togo is waiting near the
island of Formosa, 1880 miles north
ward of Singapore.
