There are ON the dockets of the fed

that the constitution does not give
the United States the right to bring
suit in behalf of an Indian who Is "A

Enough Rascals ofonr Own

The decision to send the man Dau,
rignac back to France IS wise ana
Just. But what must be the refec-
tons of this brother Of the notorious
Humbert woman as he fixes his eyes
on New York, the city flowing with
schemes and graft scarcely less odious
than the crime for which he has done,
time, and realizes that the field is not
for him! He had sought our shores
doubtless with high hopes of putting
his talents to profitable uses He
reads and speaks our language, and
once ashore would probably have
1ourished like a green bay tree. But
he goes back, with all his prospects
blighted. VIII he, later, make up for
Chinaman, and try to slip in as
merchant or student? The traffic in
certificates, it is understood, still goes
on.-WashingtOn Star.

NC sentfment of Pottery.

Pottery is not only associated with
the material necessities of man, but
also with his feelings and affections
and from the most ancient times has
been used to commemorate some mo-
mentous event in his career. An early
British urn speaks to us of death and
mysterious burial rites; a cradle Of
brown clay recalls the christening fes-
tivities of the seventeenth century.
The potter has always taken a pleasure
in putting his best work on presents in
tended for his friends. In France, on
the morning that followed a wedding,
an ecuelle, or covered bowl with two
handles, was always offered by the
guests to the married couple. In Eng
land, on the occasion of the birth of a
first child, cradle made of clay or
precious material was presented to the
parents.
