Passing OF the Indian.

II is lamentable thing that the red
skin should be steadily growing extinct,
for of all the aboriginal races with which
the white man has come into contact he
is in many respects the finest, and pos
Sesses some of the greatest qualities
But he remains a nomad, though he is
restricted to Il few reservations; he re-
fuses to adapt himself to American civil
izaton. In spite of the best attempts
of American philanthropy, his degenera-
ton steadily continues, accelerated by
forbidden firewater. 10. the poor In
dian" is no longer the noble savage,
after Rousseau's own heart whom Fen
nimore Cooper delighted to idealize in
his rOmances. He rs savage without be-
ing noble. incurably idle, and, instead of
being pattern of chivalry, is treach-
crous and uncertain. COoper's books
may require youth as n necessary quail
ity in the reader, but, even so, they have
been left sadly out of date by events.
Writers of boys books nowadays deal
sparingly with Indian bravcs-they are
as out of fashion as is the love-lorn
Indian maid. Their hour may come
again; for fiction is using up its mate

Weed Wins English Women.

Smoking among women in England is
daily becoming more general In high
class restaurants and cafes women now
openly smoke cigarettes. and railway
men say that women also smoke in the
private compartments of coaches. In the
smoking ear attached to the express
train from EuSton station to Liverpool
recently three women complacentlv
pulled cigarettes in company with the
only male occupant.
Servants i'll large houses also report
that smoking has become common among
the women members of the family. and
that at gatherings attended only by
women the seductive cigarette is sure to
make its appearance.
As further showing the growth Of the
nicotine habit among the fair sex it may
ho stated that tuhacconiSt shops now
carry special smokers articles for wom-
en-. These include cigarette holders box
cs aud match safes, some of which are
of highly artistic design and of the cost
lieSt materials. Many of these articles
are jewel mounted, and quite a number
are made entirely of gold.
Servants in the homes of the wealthy
also have become addicted to the tG-
hacco habit. In some of the establish
mentS smoking rooms have been set
apart for the use of the maids, coach
men, foOtmen, the butler and the various
retaintrS under his command.

HOW TIGERS KILL THEIR PREY.
Always Make Attack Upon the Flank Of
an Animal.

| have taken considerable trouble To
find out how tigers kill large game.
writes an assistant controller of forests
at Perah to the London Field. Some
time ago | was asked to come and see
n full grown bullock that had been killed
by tiger. On examining it | found the
animal had its neck broken and there
were claw marks on the nose and Shout
der, but nowhere else. There was 10
doubt that the tiger had jumped at the
bull and landed on the shoulder and
when the bull turned his head to gore
the tiger he must have put his claw
out and with Il sudden jerk broken the
neck.
On another occasion I went to sec a
young buffalo which had been killed by
Il tiger and found the same thing had
happened There were similar marks
on the nose and also on the near Shout
der, which clearly indicated that this
animal had been killed in the same way
Malays who have actually seen a tiger
killing buffalo told me they saw the
same thing happen, also that in drag
ging off heavy carcass such as buffalo
or bull he gets most of the weight across
his shoulder.
This must be fairly correct. as I have
often followed a kill, and the marks left
indicated that only a portion of the
animal was trailing along the ground.
have known full grown bull which ten
men could not move dragged for two
miles by a tiger in heavy jungle, where
roots of trees and swamp had to be
gone through. In no cose have | seen
the pug marks facing the wrong way
except when stopping to feed, which
proves he must carry a portion of the
animal over his shoulder.
The old idea of tiger killing large
game by blow from his paw is non
sense; besides, in this country a tiger
never faces his prey but attacks him On
the flank. unless charged. Another cur-
GUS fact that may seem very like fairy
tale is that n tiger does not seem to
mind small lamp being tied over kill
about ten feet high but will come and

when this has been tried, and each
time tiger has come to feed upon the

A SONG.

White in the moon the long road lies,
The moon stands blank above;
White in the moon the long road lies
That leads me from my love.
Stlll hangs the hedge without gust,
Still, still the shadows stay;
My feet upon the moonlit dust
Pursue the ceaseless way.
The world Is round, so travellers tell.
And straight though reach the track,
Trndge on, trudge on, twill all be well,
The way will guide one back.
But ere the circle homeward HES
Far, far must it remove:
White in the moon the long road lies
That leads me from my love.

DUCKS KILLED BY THE tom
Pot Hunters in Oregon Threaten to De-

The hunters establish regular camns n
klamath and Tule lakes, where the fowl
stop by the million on their way south.
The wagons call twice or three times n
week for the victims, and it is no uncom-
mon thing to see two tons of birds await
ing transportation ut one time.
The law is fiagrantly violated by these
professional hunters. The Oregon law
allows but fifty ducks a week, the Cali
fornia law fifty day for each hunter

1t is not so many years ago that the
spectacle of $4,000 worth of grebe skins
in one pile was seen in klamath county.
Grebes in those days were plentiful
around the shores of Lower Klamath and
Iule lakes.
With the help of the Audubon societies
there has been n lull in the warfare
against them and the grebes are not now
diminishing in number. For two seasons
they have been comparatively unmo-

There are many rare and striking birds
in the OregOn-C California border country.
Among them are two or three species Of

of these the professional hunter has
caused devastation.

\ combine of all the farmers of the
West to hold products for higher prices
has been formed, with headquarters N
Indianapolis Over 100000 farmers are
in the organization. which is known rs
the American Sons Of Equity. \ general
cali was sent out recently selecting
March ] as the time for the movement to
begin. Beginning with that date the
farmers are to hold their products, espe-
Cially wheat until they can obtain such
prices as are decreed as equitable by Off
Gals of the organization. The word Is
being passed through all the wheat-grcw-
ing States and the response that IS beng
made is said to be causing considerable
concern on the part of market men ard
spectators. y representative of a recoS-
niZed authority in the meat trade was IN
indianapolis the tier day trying to as
certain what response the call was re
ceiving. This organization claims the
producer ought to get at least 81 bushel
for wheat, no matter what may be the
size Of rhe crop. 1t is claimed that the
price of any agricultural commodity can
be controlled by controlling the market
ing. The call for the movement sets forth
n minimum selling price on all farm pro-
ducts, prices which the agricultural strik-
ers claim they are entitled to and can get
if they stand together Kansas and Min
nesota are being flooded with copies of
this call. 1t is figured that if these
States hold out for the higher prices
the trick will be turned, as Minnesota
raises big per cent of the spring wheat
crop and Kansas produces a controlling
per cent of the winter wheat crops.
