When were bandaging our ankles;

And exhaling gasoline;
When to madness We are goaded
AS we get a sudden toss.
Cause We didn't know twas loaded,
We will miss you, good old boss!

Take Off Your Crown.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

Fror1 the chicago thrOnlcis
What possible comfort in life be en-
joyed by rulers like the the sultan
even the German emperor, who must al
ways be haunted by the knowledge that
assassins are on the watch to murder them
at the first favorable opportunity? Their
situation is to be compared with that of
man who should live in the second story of
a powder magazine. conscious that lunatics
or fanatics were eager to explode it. No
wealth nor power nor exalted station can
possibly compensate for such a haunting
dread. The lot of peasant Is happier.

LIFE SHORTER IN AMERICA.
German Doctor Compares Longevity
Of Germans and Americans.

WIESBADEN 49, "Americans are
shorterlived than Germans was the
conclusion reached by DR.. b, Lacquer
in his paper on social hygiene in the
United States, submitted to the Inter
national Congress of Medicine, now in
session here,
Although more temperate in the
use of alcohol than the Germans, and
working an average of 10 per cent
shorter hours the Americans are, "
said Dr., Lacquer, exhausted earlier in
life"
The doctor gave these figures for
each thousand of the population: The
number of persons from 80 to 90
years of age are, in Germany, 179; in
America 10; persons over so, in
Germany rs; in America, 65
DR.. Lacquer did not undertake to
explain the facts. He simply gave
them as the result of inquiries which

BAD FOR lNDlANe.
Agent Wilson Says Free Whisky
Means Their End.


WASHINGTON G.. Wilson,
bonded school superintendent OF the
Winnebagoes, arrived in Washington
on matters before officials of the In.
dian bureau and expects to return
home within a few days Upon his re-
turn he will install his successor, w.
A. McFatridge and this having been
accomplished will start for Klamath
ore, having recently been appointed
bonded school superintendent of the
Klamath schools
MIR. Wilson, in speaking of tho con
dtions on the Winnebago reservation
respecting the sale of liquors, said
that during the recent months there
had been much less drinking The re-
cent decision of the supreme court,
however, holding there is no law to
prevent the Winnebago or other In
dams who hold full American citizen
ship from purchasing liquor will have
disastrous effect.
This decision means the finish
morally and physically of this tribe OF
Indians" said Wilson
IF enabled to purchase whisky they
will soon become extinct. In fact, 1t
will be but few years until nearly
every able bodied man among them
will have drank himself to death"
The Winnebagoes have filed pro-
test with the secretary of the interior
and commissioner of Indian affairs
of the manner in which that tribe has
been robbed of it's lands and cast into
outer darkness by the white man for
the last twenty-five years The Winnie
bagoes declare their lands, which
have apparently been sold by them
have been taken away fraudulently.
Members Of the tribe. they assert,
have been forced to sign blank papers
they know nothing about; checks they
have received have been taken from
them by force or Offset by enormous
whisky bills; their agents have falsi-
fed itemized accounts they sent to
the department, and during the last
three months have ridden all over the
reservation getting signatures from
Indians to papers which enabled the
erty The climax, they charge, came
when their agent himself handed to
spectators direct the government
checks, money belonging to the In.
dams to pay fraudulent debts and
whisky notes of Indians without in
vestigation or hearing and without the
knowledge and consent of the In
dians. The complaint is transmitted
by Phillip Long, a Winnebago, and
is signed by more than 100 of his
tribesmen. Some of the names attach
ed are Red Legs, Charles Earth

USE FALSE FLAGS
WHAT LONDON HEARS REGARD.
ING RUSSIAN VESSELS.
TO STAY IN KAMRANH BAY
Rumor that Rojestvensky's Fleet VIII
Remain There Until May 1.-Aeute
Anxiety in the Japanese Capital
Regarding the War Situation.

LONDON-A dispatch to a news
agency says that information re-
ccived here is taken to indicate that
the Russian squadron proposes stay
ing at Kamranh bay until May Z. Adj
miral Rojcstvensky meantime send
ing out cruisers to overhaul merchant
men proceeding along the trade route
to the straights of Formosa. The
transports accompanying the Russian
squadron are reported to be plying
between Kamranh bay and Saigon
under the merchant flag of Russia.
The British public is only now be-
ginning to realize how much depends
on Togos skilful conduct Of the APP
preaching naval contest. Until Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky actually arrived
in the straits of Malacca there was
a disposition to ridicule the efforts
of the Russian squadron; but now
that there is seen to be a growing
likelihood of Vice Admiral Nevagat-
off joining Rojestvensky before the
struggle opens interest is deepening
into anxiety According to the Toxic
correspondent of a news agency, a
momentous war conference lasting
five hours was held there on Wednes-
day attended by the elder statesmen,
the premier and ministers. 1t is not
difficult to conjecture the nature of
the councils deliberations.
Toxic correspondents state that
Japan has advanced a protest to
France on the Russia Pacific squad
ron's presence in Kamranh bay, but
that France has not yet replied The
Telegraph's correspondent at Toxic
declares that a japanese fleet is ready
to sail for Kamranh bay.
The Telegraph's Hong Kong cores
pendent states that two steamers
which passed close to the bay on Sun
day report that no Russian vessels
were then visible No news, however,
has yet reached London to show that
the Russians have left Kamranh bay,
and it is assumed that they are still
there.
The Post, commenting on the situa-
ton, contends that it is matter of
urgent importance. especially consid-
ering Great Britain's world wide
naval interests. to endeavor to secure
a more definite international defini-
ton of neutrality in neutral waters
by belligerents.

NINE PENSION EXAMINERS OUT
designations Called for by Commits

WASHINGTON-Nine of the ten
pension examiners constituting the
Board of Review were separated from
the government service. Commission
er of Pensions Warner referred the
the nine designations to Secretary
Hitchcock with the recommendation
that they be accepted, and Mr.. Hitch
cock took the desired action without
delay. The resigned examiners assert
that representation were made to
them, purporting to come from the
commissioner, that should they hand
in their designations matters would be
relieved and reservations would be
made at some date in the near future.
Commissioner Warner however, made
no such representation to the score
tary The difficulty involving the
Board of Review was its approval of
several pensions to applicants whose
only claim was enlistment in Penn
sylvania and a New Jersey regiment
OF volunteers for service in the civil
war, but the services of whom were
never availed of by the government.

matters of scientific adjustment, thus
