SAVING INDIAN PICTURES.
Indian Etlinologist Preserving Yaki-

Indian Etinologist Preserving Yaki-
The celebrated painted rocks" in
the Matches valley, have been restor-
ed to the original color and outline
by L. V. McWhorter, distinguished
Indian ethnologist, who visited the
valley for that purpose. and who had
the assistance of Mrs. Lee C. Dele,
a local photographer, says a Yakima
dispatch. Between forty and fifty
photographs" as they are called,
have been restored, and should last
for another century. Mr.. McWhorter
says the pictures are not of great
antiquity, probably a little over a CEN
tury old.
The Indians have a tradition that
the spirits which haunt these cliffs
come forth periodically and retouch
the pictogra phs, and those who have
not seen the "paleface" at work late
ly are finding confirmation Of the
theory.
Photographs of the retouched work
are to be submitted to an expert on
the art of picture story telling in the
hope that the meaning of the picto-
graphs may be found. and further
light thrown upon the history of the
Yakima Indians. Some of Mrs. Delle's
photos will be used among the illus
trations for the history of the valley
which is being prepared by A. j.
Splawn.
Mr.. McWhorter is anxious that a
local historical society be formed
with a view to the preservation Of all
interesting relics of Indian life. There
are many private collections Of ar
ticles Of Indian art and warfare, and
these, he thinks, could be loaned to
the public library and an interesting
museum would result. Mr.. McWhor-
ter's scheme will probably be taken
up by some of the residents and a So
ciety formed

Andrew .Jackson,s Education.

During each winter for two or three
years after he had reached the age of
Z Andrew Jackson was sent to the old
field school of a Mr.. Branch. After
this the attended the select school
which a Presbyterian preacher, the
Rev. Dr. David Humphreys, taught in
the Waxhaw settlement He appears
to have been going to this higher school
in the spring of 1850, when the inroad
of Tarleton created a panic in that
portion of the Carolinas. At some later
period of his youth he is said to have
attended the old Queen College or SEM
mary at Charlotte a couple of terms,
but the time is not definitely known.
AS to education, therefore, it may be
safely stated that Andrew Jackson en-
joyed much more than the ordinary ad-
vantage Of backwoods boys of his
time. At the age of 10 he had become
so good a reader that he was often
chosen to read the newspaper to the
assembled neighbors, and he remem-
bered with pride in after years that he
had thus had the honor Of reading out
loud" the Declaration of Independence
upon it's arrival in the Waxhaws. For
a lad of 10 this was, indeed, something
to remember with honest pride

ries told in newspaper dispatches. Foil
ed in this effort, he turned to the In
dams. They knew the gray wolf, hav-
ing wintered and summered with him.
Had they ever known Of an Indian be-
ing killed by one? N-no; but Mingan
was very crafty and very much to be
dreaded.
Quite so, but once for all, had he
ever to their knowledge killed a man?
No, but they had heard. So 1t
went: always the same intangible, I'M
confirmed rumor and the same absence
Of proof.
"Now for few facts as to the wolf,
writes ST. Croix in Recreation. He
can go eight days without food and
can then eat forty pounds of meat at
a sitting so the Indians say. This Is
pretty fair for an animal weighing but
eighty pounds. Yet we do not know the
length of the sitting.
1.-THE wolf will not venture on glare
ice, he never crosses a lake until there
is enough snow to hide the ice. To wet
ting his feet he is as averse as the do
nestle cat. He will not kill his game
In the shelter Of the forest, always
driving it into some open place for the
kill.
when chasing q deer he goeD at
leisurely lope, sitting down at inter-
walls to give the most dolorous and
blood curdling bowls. This drives the
poor victim into a wild gallop and soon
exhausts it and as the wolf never tires
he is sure sooner or later to catch up
with the quarry.
"In winter the deer often makes for
some wild rapid into which 1t plunges'
knowing that the wolf will not fol-
low Too often the deer browns, but
better such a death than one by the
fangs.
I'm summer a couple Of wolves will
secure all the deer they need by very
simple tactics. Having put up the
quarry, one wolf drives it by easy
stages to some little lake-l speak
now of the Laurentian country-and
on reaching the shore the deer plunges
unhesitatingly in, for It's instinct tells
it the enemy will not dare to follow.
$50 on it swims, while the pursuer
sits on his launches and bowls dis
mally, no doubt because he sees his
dinner escaping. At length the tired
deer drags itself YEARLY from the wa
ter, and shakes the drops from it's coat
on the sun warmed strand. Then the
companion wolf which has waylaid it's
coming, springs at it's throat and when
the first wolf joins they have a gorge
that makes them independent of fate
for a whole week"

like John D. In the second place, when
Mr.. Rockefeller gives away money he
places it in the hands Of men whom he
knows and whom he can trust. His ac-
quaintance in China is very limited. In
the third place John D. Rockefeller Is
too shrewd man for a moment to cal
culate that $5O,OOO,OOO will do very
much toward the uplifting of the heath
en- Chinee. There are about 5OO,OOO,OOO
Of them, which means ten cents apiece.
Ten cents will not do very much uplift-
ing. Finally, if John D. Rockefeller
wills money for educational purposes,
he will have the care and dispensation
Of it pretty definitely determined before
his death. So far as is known, no one
has been approached on the subject
That Mr.. Rockefeller may have some
plans in his mind is barely possible
Stories like the above, however, are cir
culated without authority, and I'M
doubtedly have very little basis in fact.
Mr.. Rockefeller has given away large
sum Of money already, and it might be
just like him to conclude that he has
given away enough.

In the maXims Of a modern British
satirist appears the epigram, "Those
who can, do; those who cannot, teach"
For teach" might be substituted, in JUS
tice to the professional teacher, the
words ''criticise," "censure," "object"
and "obstruct." President Roosevelt
developed this idea in a recent address
to Harvard students. He made plain
reference to doctrinaire persons who
meet in parlOrs, discuss conditions with
no other evident purpose than to deter
mine that conditions are bad, and who
present to the men entrusted with pub
lie affairs no single workable idea. SO
few plans are drawn with entire per-
lection, so few men are completely and
continuously competent, that almost
any one of mediocre intelligence can
find the faults in greater schemes than
the Pathfinder could begin to conceive
or carry out, can point to the flaws in
useful public servants beside whom the
critic is pygmy. The kind Of critic
that the President objects to is the
habitually destructive kind. Neither
the President nor any other man of
action objects to the sort of criticism
which presents a constructive idea, con-
ceived in an honest desire to make
things better. Such criticism is helpful.
But when small groups Of persons who
warmly agree with each other issue
manifestoes and resolutions which can
not guide the most open-minded man
in single act, they are unserviceable,
and offensive to those who are trying
to do the work of the world. Since
Plato and Aristotle every critic Of poll
ties and art who has gained lasting
authority has offered constructive adj
vice, plans for doing things rather than
structures upon other mems plans. Lin
coin, one of the most violently and per-
sistently criticised Of men, knew this
simple test. He used frequently to meet
unfair critics by asking them to come
right to Washington and see what they
could do. 1t is test the critic should
be willing to abide.

ilization of the American people. A
New York story says that he is soon
to give $50,OOO,00O for educational and
charitable purposes in that city. An
other story from somewhere says that
he is to will $25O,0o0,OOO for education

be discounted considerably, if they are
to be believed at all. In the first place,
Mr.. Rockefeller himself recently placed

stories are TO be believed he is going

That we need a national song as an
expression of patriotism is generally
agreed. and the time will come that
will produce one to answer all the re-
Quirements. What more fitting monu-

a song that would serve such a splendid
purpose? Who can sit in an English
audience and not be stirred when, as
the strains of God Save the King
float out from the orchestra, every man,
woman and child rises in silent trib-
ute? Or who can witness the demon
stration which Hell dir i'm Sieger-
kranz" creates in a gathering of Ger
mans without a thrill? Men have gone
down to welcome death with the words
