Developing the Brave.

The child is given every possible en-
enlargement 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 a 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-
eat, obcdient, 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.

Death for Meakling Babies.
Nearly all Indian children that one
sees are hardy and well formed. This
is because only these of robust cOnsti-
tuition survive the trials and exposure
of their babyhood. 1t is desired that
only the naturally strong should sur
yive, for it is Il custom in most of
the RIDES to wilfully expose, suffoca
or drown born wealNings or deformed
babies. Death is the lot of the I'M
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 redsliin 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-
blcs 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 ar
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

GREAT SUGAR OUTPUT
OF FIT. COLLINS FACTORY

A dispatch from FIT Collins reads
as follows:
So far this season the local sugar
factory is having successful cam
paign. 1t began slicing beets October
4th and has had continuous run
without an hours stoppage, and has
converted the juice extracted from
$4,000 tons of beets into commercial
granulated sugar. There are still
5000 tons of beets to work up,
which will keep the factory in opera
ton until early into February. The
product of the factory to date has
been nearly 212.0 sacks of 100
pounds each, or 81 100000 pounds
of sugar These immense figures Will
be swelled to 30.0OO,000 pounds at
the close of the campaign. The
acreage planted to beets this season
in tie Fort Collins district was TO-
OO3. an acreage Increase of about
1000 acres over the crop of 100 !,

due to the planting or new land in

was 25 tons and the lowest seven tons.

fenced growers and which were not
touched by hail average seventeen

mobs being satisfied with two days
carnival of murder and destruction
by flames, the revolt against law and

upon which to prey. Almost the en-
tire Jewish quarters of Moldavanha,
Slobodka and Rugaiovka are devas-
tated, and their inhabitants have
either been killed or wounded or have
sought refuge in other sections of the

During the first demonstration over

thousands of men who had hated the

very joy of killing. In some instances

ing the work of vengeance and fury

employed in the work of butchery
