A bloody trophy in possession of the

dian hatchet- The tomahawk reeks
with red and horid association. 1t is
the weapon with which DIR. Marcus
whitman. the Indian missionary and
his wife were slain in 1917 and with
which the first blow of the tearsome
whitman massacre was begun-an en-
ormouS crime~which nearly obliterated
the white American settlers in the Ore
gon country, sent thrill of horror
and Indignation throughout the Amer
lean republic and saved to the Amer
lean people the great northwest coun-
try out of which Oregon, Washington
and other states were created. It is
one of the very cruel chapters in his
tory-a chapter embracing eight years
of war between settlers and savages
the result of which was that the Hud-
sons Bay Company and the British
crown were compelled to relinguish
their claim to the territory. Another
result was the virtual humiliation of
the Cayuse tribe of Indians. So much
tragic history centers about this rusty
hatchet that it is one of the rarest rel
les of the government. A government
official familiar with the period SAYS

The Unemployed in Germany.

1t seems from consular reports that
there are none. Colonies for the so
called unemployed" take tnem out of
this class Immediately and make pau
perism unknown. Each city supports
large offices where hunters for work
go and register. They get a bath, have
their clothing disinfected, and if the
unions which support these institutions
have no work-for them in cities, they
are sent to the farm colonies in the
country, where they can work at farm
ing, land reclamation, and in other pro-
dCctive capacities. The system of
these unions is said to be very COM
prehensive; they are open to all, and
besides providing opportunities for
workers, have systems of old age pen
sions, insurance against accidents, and
other benefits.
