Indians Who Talk Like Japanese.

ut is not generally known that the
Grow Indian language is very much
akin to that of the Japanese said Col
8 C. Reynolds, government agent at
the Grow Indian agency, who was in
Sheridan making arrangements for tine
opening of 1,500, 600 acres of the Crow
reservation to settlement during the
last two weeks in June.
THAT an Indian tribe 1000 miles
from the coast should have many words
in common with nation OH the other
side of the earth is most remarkable
and opens line Of theory and research
upon W ich ethnologists and linguists
can spend much time and study.
''Over on the Crow reservation near
the.Custer battlefield lives a negro
named. Smoky Smoky was born on
the reserve and has been adopted into
the Grow tribe, so he is an Indian. He
talks the Indian language better than
he does English. Smoky always work
around the agency and usually for the
Indian agent.
Last year had japanese cook at ]
the agency. Several days after be came
to work for me three Jap section men
came over from the Burlington Rail
road g gang one evening to see my cook
They were in the kitchen jabbering |
away when Smoky came in.
"a few minutes later the negro came |
into library and told me the Japs were
talking Crow instead of their own Ian.
guage. AT that time l could speek |
Indian only in limited way, but went
into the kitchen and asked my cook
(who could speak English) about it.
10 my surprise I found that Smoky
was partially correct and many of the
Japanese words were used in the Crow
language with identically the same
l am not enough of an
etbnolOgist to say where these identical
words came from, or whether or not
the Crows and the Japanese had a
common origin, but it is a curious fact
hat these languages are very much
alike.'i-DetrOit News.

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is fue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, fimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this fue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind oftobacco you are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.
to 81 90 per pound; Schnapps is sold
at soc. per pound in SC. cuts, strictly

PLAN Dog SHOW CIRCUIT
FancierS Include Salt Lake in
List of Western Towns
to Form One.

Denver, Col, Feb. 24-Denver dog
fanciers who are at present busily en-
gagged in boosting for the annual bench
show Of the Colorado Kennel club
which viii be held at Coliseum hall
on the evenings of March s, 9 and 10,
have launched two movements of the
greatest Importance III dogdOm.
Their first project is the establish
ment of a western Kennel show cir
cult, taking in cities from Chicago to
Salt Lake City, and the second is for a
congress of American dog fanciers,
breeders and exhibitors for the pur-
pose of Tearranging and readjusting
the prevailing standards for all breeds
in this country.
The purpose of establishing a West
ern show, circuit is to enable owners
of Western dogs to place their ami
mails in the championship class by
affording a speedy and sufficient OPP
portunity to secure the requisite num-
Der of points at exhibitions held within
a reasonable radius. This scheme, witch
seems practically certain of success,
it is believed by prominent Colorado
fanciers will give Western breeders
and exhibitors a chance to save
money, TO win championships with
less effort and more expeditiOusly and
to generally advance kennel interests
between the big river and the coast.
