APPLE TREES so YEARS OLD.
Planted by Indians at Historic
Michigan Spot.

Michigan Spot.
Planted by the Indians eighty years
ago, when the spot was an Indian res
ervation and burying ground, two ap'
pie trees still stand side by side on
the bank of the Shiawassee- River near
here.
The trees are now of mammoth
size, measuring respectively six and
eight feet in circumference, and not
withstanding their age they are still in
healthy condition and bear fruit each
year.
Near where they stand were 10
Gated the first settlements made by
white men in Shiawassee county about
100 years ago. In those early days
the spot was one of the chief trading
points in this locality. 1t was locat-
ed on one of the first trails here
abouts, and being also On the river
bank was accessible by water. In
those days water was used for travel
good deal more than it is now.
So large was the business done by
Indians and fur traders that in 1840

one of the wildcat variety so common
in those days, and issued a great
amount Of the wildcat currency.
Tradition has it that while the bank
was doing fourishing business some
of the large holders of its currency
became uneasy about the security for
the redemption of the paper and
planned a raid to loot the bank. The
bank officials, hearing of the plan,
took the banks specie and buried 1t
near the river. There still live in that
vicinity some old-timers who believe
that the money is buried there yet,
and many excavations have been made
in the hope of uncovering some of it.
The trend of progress has been
away from this spot, and any one WIS.,
iting there today will find a peaceful
farming community, but if one choos-
es to spend a little time cultivating
the acquaintance of the older inhabi-
tants he will find wealth of historic
lore and quaint traditions of pioneer
life which will reward the effort

A COW AND A FAUCET.
Would not Walk All the Way to the
River for a Drink.


River for a Drink.
The Portland (Ore.) Poor Farm has,
according to the assertion of the in
mates, the cleverest COW in the State.
The animal is an old red Jersey that
has been on the farm for years. The
matron at the farm last summer dis
covered that the faucet on the hydrant
in the back yard was frequently turn
ed on, but constant watching failed
to disclose the turner-on.
The same trouble occurred again
this summer. The matron noticed the
water was turned on about the same
time every afternoon. While she
watched she saw the old red Jersey
come leisurely up the road into the
back yard and walk straight to the
hydrant. The cow pushed the faucet
with her nose, but it did not seem to
work. So she tried her horns, and
when that method failed she opened
her mouth, took hold of the faucet
and turned it.
Mrs. Bossy then drank her fill of
cold water and turned away toward
the green fields, evidently pleased
that she did not have to go a quarter
of a mile to the river to satisfy her
thirst.
The next day the COW seemed much
puzzled to find new faucet and ap-
peared detected when after half an
hour of hard work she could not get
her drink. Then the matron had a
watering place made, and the cold
water was allowed to run at all times.

The UnfoeIabIe You,


When you've settled down at
night,
Locked youg door, put out the
light,
When you've shut the world from out
your little room;
When you've stopped your daily
work
At the coming of the mirk,
Chen you're face TO face with truth,
amid the gloom.
For there's no one there to fool,
And your judgment dares be cool,
While the thoughts you face are
merciless and true;
You may hoax the world, my boy,
With the tactics you employ,
But you've not succeeded yet in fool
ing you.
In the daily grist of toll,
In the treadmill and the MOL,
In vicissitudes of traffic, you are wont
To be tempted to cajole,
Coaxed to jeopardize your soul
Life is battle; we must smile and bear
the Drunt.
But at night when all is still,
When the tensions off your will,
Comes the truth that must be recog-
nized as true,
You can fool some people, boy,
With the methods men employ,
But you'll never find it easy fcoling
you.-Chicago News.

THE DYING HAWAIIAN RACE.
Intermarrage Is the Only Hope for
the Brown Men of the Pacific.

tbSVi ioSS 80 SiiS Oi'y tiSP~ 80
the Brown Men of the Pacific.
A very dark shadow has been felt to
hang over the future of the native
Hawaiians. 1t comes from the early
and obstinate dep6pulation which be-
gan with Cooks discovery in 177S.
The most reliable estimates place the
then population at not less than $780,
900. At the arrival of the missionar-
les in 1920 not more than 100000 re-
manned, and the multitude of aban-
doned village sites gave the old mis-
sionaries an impression that fully two
thirds of the people had disappeared.
The causes of that enormous NOR
tally were not obscure. They were
the introduction among the long-isolat-
ed "nature-race," wholly lacking the
immunity enjoyed of Continental peo-
pies, of new and virulent diseases,
which swept them off. Chief among
these diseases was one which Cooks
ship brought, and which speedily in
fected the entire population. Tuber-
culosis contributed.
Added to these hostile influences
were the depopulating wars of Kane
hameha, and the destructive collection
of sandalwood, while whaleships con-
verified every seaport into a public
brothel.
Mitigating and remedial influences
have since then operated favorably
under increasing moral culture and in
telligence, but the depopulation is not
yet wholly checked. Estimating from
the later census figures there are now
remaining less than 10000 pure
Hawaiians, and not more than 10000
part Hawaiians. The total racial dim
mutton has been about one-half in
the last half century, although part
Hawaiians have rapidly increased dur
ing that time The excess of deaths
over births still remains, with a great
mortality among the pure Hawaiian
children.
What are their prospects for the
future? We should answer measurably
hopeful There is manifest improve
ment. Especially is this the case
among the mixed breed, who are rap
idly gaining in numbers, due to their
superior energy and intelligence, and
to their wiser care of offspring. I'm
der present outlook, the mixed Ha-
waiians are likely in very few gen
erations greatly to exceed the pure
native breed in numbers. The pre-
vailing language Of both classes will
have become entirely English, due to
the vigorous teaching of English in
the common schools, where Portu-
guese and Asiatic youth, alike with
Hawaiian, are learning good Omitted
States" which will displace the out
landish tongues, as it does on our con-
tinent.
The future commingling of Hawaii
an blood with the other races will not
be an unwholesome one. The Ha-
waiian nature is courageous and gen.
erous, and peculiarly receptive to new
light. The Japanese race anciently
received a very large infusion Of cog
nate Oceanic blood, which loosened
up their ancient Monaghan stiffness
and made them versatile and recep-
tive. We may thus look forward to
the future descendants of the Ha-
waiians with hopefulness and pride.
The future composite result will make
the coming Hawaiian civilization
bright one under the presiding power
of American Institutions.-St. Louis
Republic.

1890. Since that date the higher In
stitutions have been created, organic
ed and developed; the school law has
been thoroughly overhauled and the
common schools, both rural and in
the cities, have been brought to theft
present condition.
Fifteen years ago such typical CT
ties as Las Vegas, Albuquerque, and
Santa Fe had no public school prop
erty whatever. Today they have org
anized graded schools of a high order
which are sustained almost mine
months in the year. Such counties as
Chaves had in 1890 one school dis
'trict about "a miles square Inc not
to exceed $50 pupils. Today this coun
ty has Fl districts, 2,961 pupils en-
rolled, the city of Roswell and the
town of Hagerman with their good
schools.
When he increase, or more prop
erly the construction from the begin
ming, of school buildings is consider
ed, a wonderful view is presented. |
Look upon the buildings belonging to
the higher institutions and the ele-
CANT and eommodious school build
ings of all the cities, and then reflect
that these are all the creation of the
past fifteen years, and none but a

The report of the superintendent OF
public instruction for the year clos

press. 1t is a document worthy the
attention of all friends of education
in New Mexico. From it the New
| Mexican CLEANS a few points and
gives them to it's readers. The report
gives the following statistics:
Number of districts GIL; enumera-
ton of children, 1882; enrolled in
schools 44,293; enrolled in high
schools 491; in normal schools 387ss
in higher institutions $751;; expended
for public schools $5O5,1s1.37; value
of public school property, $1,319,600.
Higher Institutions.
The higher institutions, consisting
of the University, Agricultural Col
lege two Normal Schools, Military
Institute, School of Mines, all show a
decided advance over previous years,
and they offer such varied and liber-
al culture that students need not
leave the Territory to obtain In edu-
cation. During the present yea they
are filled in some instances to their
capacity. Scattered as they are, each
is a center from which educational
influence radiates.
Teachers Institutes are rapidly
improving in character. During the
past summer each county held an in
stitute of about two weeks duration;
sci teachers attended, and $2,582.55
were expended in conducting them.
Besides these the summer school in
connection with the Normal Univer-
sity was well attended.
The conditions of the finances is
