Oh, YAH

The simple English affirTnative is be-
coming somewhat battered in common
speech Yes" has long sounded as
''yus" from the lips of the uneducated.
But there Is a present tendency among
the educated to adopt the American va
riants upon the world. America has
found that an open vowel or labial is
easier TO pronounce than sibilant. And
IL has two substitutes for yes" One of
them is yep" and the other is ''yah .
Obviously the yah comes through the
influence of the simple German ia, =
which is quite an elemental sound
Yep" on the other hand. is clearly
a protest against the waste of time in

.OVERFED INDIANS
DYING BY SCORE
Sioux and Yanktons Eating
Themselves to Death.

/ NEW YORK. April 3.-If Thomas
A. Edison referred TO the American
| Indians when he said that people were
eating themselves to death. he could
find plenty OF confederation of his
theory on the reservations. Overeatins
is doing more to bring about the ex-
tinction Of the Sioux and Yanlxton In
dians than race suicide, firewater, and
all the diseases which haunt the wig
wan of the red man
The great tribe of Sioux Indians is
disappearing. The members. il is de-
clared. are literally eating themselves
TO death on account of the plenty about
them.
If corroborative evidence was not
accepted as true that in the course OF
night of feasting, dancing and story
telling the average Indian win consume
from ten 10 fifteen pounds OF meat.
and IL he has an abundance of food
and can make his own selection OF the
parts to be eaten he will swallow with
out inconvenience not less than twenty
pounds OF meat In a single night.
Carloads of Meat.
Carloads of canned meats are con-
sumed by the Overfed Sioux Indians,
and some canned foods have become al
most as sacred a dish with the red men
as the fat-dog stew of old for which
the Sioux tribe is famous. Among the
varieties Of canned goods eaten 10 eX-
cess. the oyster holds the first place.
A hungry Indian VIII eat half dozen
cans and drink the liquor.
Besides the harm done by eating eX-
cessive quantities of food, the fact that
IL is not properly prepared makes II
the more Injurious There is no variety
or style about Sioux Indian cookery,
no French methods. no necessity for
titillating appetites already OVerkeen-
A pot of meat and water is put on the
fire by the squaw and allowed TO heat,
but there is no definite time for the
meal TO cook and no point In the cook
ing process when II is done. The din
ner is ready whenever her lord comes
in and grunts about being hungry
Ready for the Hunt.
II the Indian is especially hungry he
may begin on the contents of the ket-
tie by the time the meat is fairly warm
There IS never any faultfinding about
the way In which the food is prepared.
and whether it Is half raw or done to
rags. no objection IS made by the head
of the family.
The Indian knows the choicest tidbits
of every animal and how 10 cook them.
The hunt at this time OF the year gives
the Sioux Indian the fullest enjoyment
of his appetite. and during the next
three months the average buck Will de-
YOUR enough meat TO satisfy four Ordi-
nary men
Condiments are in great demand by
the Indians. and the Sioux Indians prob
ably consume more black and red pep
per per capita than any other. people In
the United States Their former favor
lite eondiment was the gall OF an elk.

The first, says a writer In the Lon

longing to that immense army of book

"Oh. I know this WELL" she said, in
"a superior tone.
Really" said the pleased teacher.
'"Is it your favorite playT"

Chicks on Range.

The sooner you get the early hatch
of chickens on open range the better
it will be for them. 1t is pretty hard
to teach brooder chickens not to go
back to their original home after you
want to take them away from the
brooder and put them in the colony
house. Either take the brooder out of
sight, or move your chicks to another
lot where they can't see it. Do not take
them from the brooder until they have
heat, or they will huddle in the cor
ners and do themselves an injury.
