lacking in mathematical ability, es-
pecially in any constructive }rk.
Like he Indians again, they are mu-
sicai and artistic. They excel in any
thing that requires deftness of fingers.
They make excellent telegraph oper-
atOrs and clerks. One finds more in
ertia among the Indian children; less
spOntaneity than in the Filipinos.
Children of both nationalities, how
ever, are exceptional in the fact that
they are easily governed, having great
respect for authority.
Supt. j F.. House, who has been in
the Indian service for nineteen years,
believes that the non-reservation
schools are showing better results
than the reservation schools. The
points in favor of the former are, he
says, the fact that the discipline is
better; that the life is broader. and
that the students come in contract
with more people. No children are
taken in at these schools without the
consent of the parents, who have,
however, the privilege of choosing the
school TO which the child will go, with
the approval of the Indian agent.
Children Of this school come from the
tribes of the Sioux the North Chey-
ennes and the Crows Three-fOurths
of them are Sioux. The North Chey-
enne Indians have not had the school
advantages of the Sioux. and are
therefore more backward. but show
as good ability in the industrial de-
partments. In regard to the scourge
of tuberculosis and scrofula among
the Indians, Mr. House says that only
healthy children are taken into this
school, as it would not be right to
subject the noninfected children to
associations that were unhealthful.
The general condition OF health among
the children is excellent.
Two Teachers Are Indians.
There are two Indians among the
instructors Of this school One is
Miss Fremont, the kindergarten and
primary teacher, whose work is said
to compare favorably with any teach
er of any denomination The other is
Chauncey Y. Robe, the teacher of
military tactics and athletics and the
assistant dlsCiplinarian. In 1883,
when fifteen years of age, Chauncey
Yellow Robe, as he was then known,
went from his fathers tepee on Rose
bud direct to Carlisle. He remained
there number of years. and is now

supplying drink of warm temperature
which live stock will take with avid1ty
in the coldest weather. They also
irrigate gardens and trees and keep
up the green lawns In front OF the
houses.
The many uses that the artesian wells
can be put to are illustrated in the
case OF Lyman Turner of Columbia, In
Brown county. Mr.. T~uer had for
some time been considering that the
power of his artesian well should be
utilized in some manner, and finally
decided that he would have an elec-
trio lighting plant of his own. run by
the well.
He had his house. barn and yard
wired, and procured the necessary
machinery. When he first prOpOund-
ed his plan for harnessing the well his
neighbors made him the butt for good
natured ridicule; but Mr.. Turner per-
severed. and at cost of 5000 installed
his plant. Now, by simple touch OF
the button he has light wherever he
wants it and has abolished the use of
lamps and lanterns. His lights are
all sixteen candle-power incandeS,
cents, and he says that the entire ex-
pense Is / cent a day for unlimited
light. After installing the lights, Mr..
Turner put in an electric heater and
cook stove in his house. abolishing the
use of coal and wood, and these are
run at an expense of 5 cents a day.
His neighbors have ceased to laugh,
by the way, and many of them are
now putting in similar improvements
on their places.
Outside of South Dakota we hear
a great deal of the wonderful fertil-
ity of it's lands, the cheapness with
which they can be bought, and the
big crops Of wheat. corn, oats, fax
and other things that are raised every
year. We never hear anything about
the hay CROP and yet hay is one of
the great reliable, and little varying
crops of South Dakota. The state suf-
fars in the annual reports of the de-
partment of agriculture upon this
product because the department does
not regard wild hay, which is the prin-
cipal resource.
Hay in South Dakota.
Yet no other hay compares with 1t
for nutritious qualities. Stock thrive
upon it. Horses fed upon the wild
hay of South Dakota have an endur-
ance and wind that the tame hay fed
horses cannot hope to attain. The
annual value of the hay crop is about
s1,O00,000. A good deal of clover,
timothy, alfalfa and millet hay is
grown, but combined they do not cut
much figure compared with the wild
hay product.
Does farming pay in South Dakota?
is question that have frequently
been asked Here is the statement
of Sphinx county farmer, the county
just south of Brown:
During the past six years I have
made $4,000 year above my living
and expenses. Jan. /, 1900, took an
inventory of my property and found
l was worth $4,095. Jan. 1, 1906.
took another inventory and found
was worth $16,5O0. This was making
money at the rate Of SO per cent
year on my investment, and consider
it better than Standard Oil stock.

men, much better, indeed, than the
average ;nskilled laborer. They even
could be depended upon to do some
work when the boss had his back
turned. They could not handle steel,
simply because they had not been
trained to it, but with all other tools
they were careful, and seldom had ac-
cidents. They are also faithful to
their work and number of them now

blem of modern civilization, the tin

Republicans Want Delegates to Con-

The political situation at Pierre is
becoming tangled on account of the
failure of Chairman De Land of the
county committee to provide for the
selection of delegates to the district
legislative convention on the same
date as for the selection of delegates
to the state convention. The lesisla-
tive convention meets on May 20, and
on account of this a number of Repub-
licans of this city have made de-
mand upon the chairman of the COM
mittee that he at once provide for the
selection of the legislative delegates
on the same date as for the state dele
gates. He thus far has declined to
announce his decision. and unless
early action is taken the courts will
be called upon to act.
