Review has come out for woman's
suffrage ION account of woman's ac-
quirement of property and because the
intellectual equipment of the average
American woman is quite equal to
that of the medal man" We think
the average American woman would
indignantly reject suffrage on any
such ground of equality. The medal
man is something she rates between
failure and in the minimum passing
mark.

Z When Columbus discovered America
he found the Indians carrying ON trade
from tribe TO tribe with wampum.
Anything that has value may be used
as money. In ancient Syracuse and
Britain tin was used rs money, and we
find that iron was so used at one time

among the Carthaginians, nails In Scot.
land, lead in Burma, platinum in Rus.
STA, cubes OF pressed tea in Tartary,
slaves among the Anglo.SaXons, salt
in Abyssinia, etc.
Wampum is from an Algonquin word
meaning white" The Indians have
ever been fond of ornaments, particu-
larry Of beads. They used to make
beads of seashells in the following
way; A fragment Of stone was with
much care worked down" to the size
of small nail, having one end quite
pointed, and Il was then fastened to a
piece Of cane or reed. With this
simple tool the Indian workman chip
ped Off bit OF the inside OF cOnch
shell or a part OF the shell of a hard
clam and rubbed IL down to the size
desired. This bit Of shell he held in his
hand, placed the sharp end OF the
stone against II and then turned the
stone around and around until hole
was drilled entirely through the shell.
The shell beads thus tediously manu-
featured were called wampum. These
beads were either white or OF a purple
color, the last being valued much high
er than the first. IL was the very Ia.
borious way OF making wampum that
gave it value. The wampum was artis-
tically strung upon hempen threads
and used as necklaces. bracelets and
rings. often It was woven into belts
about three inches in width and two
feet in length.
The wampum belt served many pur.
poses II was sent from tribe 20 tribe
with solemn promises and messages,
1t was used IN making peace, In asking
for aid IN time OF war, for personal
adOrnment and also as a circulating
medium" The coast tribe Indians
were the wampum makers. The In
terror Indians spent their time hunting
and exchanged game OF all kinds for
the wampum made by the coast tribes.
For a long time after white people
had settled In the new world small
coins were scarce and wampum was
used as change. Finally the palefaces
set up lathes by treadIes for the pur-
pose Of making wampum quickly, and
soon the Indian wampum makers were,
