INDIANS ARE INCREASING
IN AMERICA
By FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

A favorite theme for orators is the
pathetic passing Of Loi the poor Indian.
1t will no doubt be a disappointment to
well-meaning speakers who have made
the sorrows Of the noble red man the
subject Of their torrid eloquence. to learn
that instead Of declining further numeri-
caIy. he is now actually increasing in
numbers. That is what the statisticians
say. The strength Of Indian racial traits
is shown by the fact that the 200 per
sons now in Virginia who can prove
their descent from POcahontas and her
English husband. John Rolfe still have
the Indian hair and high cheek bones.
It has never been definitely deter
mined Just what was the greatest num-
Der of Indians in America when they
were unmolested and at the height of
their power in this great country. Some
authorities claim that the number could
not have exceeded a million. others as
seTt that It could not have been more
than Sl0.c00 and still others contend that
there were never more than 500,C0O AT
the present time there are about 2S4. O0C
members of the red race in the United
States There are Indians in eighteen
States and three Territories. exclusive OF
the Indian Territory Nearly all the
tribes are west OF the Mississippi: in fact,
most Of them are beyond the Missouri.
There are 156 reservations in all. In the
northwestern part of New York there
are about 5000 descendants Of the great
warrior tribes living on eight reserya-
tons.

sary to the administration. He was taken
to task for his many marriages, but at
last the department. compromised on his
promise not to marry any more Two
or three years later the department heard
that n had taken unto himself two
more sqUaws. When called up on the
carpet his naive explanation was: "One

CHRISTIAN MADE SHOW
PAY FOR HIS fNJUl


]. R. Christian, the south Main
street blacksmith who has the Phil
lips shop, created a stir in the camp
of the Norris & Rowe circus the night
they started to leave Roswell, by at
taching the large, cream colored
horse ridden in the performance by
the female bareback rider. the horse
was brought up tow1, after which the
management of the show compromis-
ed the suit by paying Mr.. Christian
$50 damages and costs.
The trouble started at the time the
last advertising car of the circus was
in town. Some of the bill posters
started to slapping bills on Mr.. Chris
tian's shop without asking his per
mission Or even notifying him of their
Intentions When they started to
work their noise frightened a large
horse he was shoeing and he was
thrown heavily to the floor, hurting g
both hands on nails in the floor. He
went out to demonstrate with the
bill posters and they merely laughed
at him. But the circus finally paid
for his loss of time and damages to
boot
