Refused Diplomas.

The graduation of the 'U7 class of the
Bellevue high school was married by
the act that none of the graduates re-
ceived diplomas because of trouble
with the school board. Some time ago
the board decided that each of the
graduates must give brief orations,
but the members of the class replied
that it would not be possible for all
Of, them to do this. The board re-
sented the "uppishness" of the pupils
and insisted that the order must be
obeyed. The graduates communicated
with the state superintendent of pub
lie instruction and were informed that
it was not compulsory for them to de-
liver orations in order TO be entitled
to diplomas and they stood their
ground.
Two members of the class, however,
gave orations and were granted diplo-
mas, but they promptly returned them
because the Others did not receive
theirs The matter has caused con-
siderable feeling, many taking sides
with the graduates

The New Indian.
G. A. LIsK, Publisher.
MICHIGAN.

A new series of Indian portraits Is
needed. The noble red man OF
Fenimore Cooper and of Catlin, the
fierce figure in war-paint and feathers
lost his romantic interest when he was
confined to reservation and fed on
rations. Now the Stalled reserva-
ton dweller has been supplanted In
turn by the new man, Indian only In
blod and traditions, who is stepping
up to take his place in the life OF the
west. The pictures that are TO repre-
sent the new Indians will inciude
short-haired, dark-faced man, dressed
in black SLOUGH hat dingy white cot
ton shirt. blue overalls, and hobnailed
shoes. He may be a Kiowa farmer
who gathered coo bushels of corn
, from 20 acres of cultivated land last
year. or one of the 391 Pine Ridge In
dams who put up 500 tons of hay to
carry their stock through the winter.
Or he may be Plenty Buffalo, who has
worked with team and scraper on the
Huntley irrigation project in Montana
for six months; or Bert Fredericks,
the Hopi night foreman on the tunnel
at the Zuni dam in Arizona. The pic
lures will also depict the Indian
woman as mistress of a prairie cabin,
feeding the chickens or carrying food
to the calves and pigs. They will In
clude a group of children, dressed very
like white children, trotting off to day
school at eight o'clock with their noon
lunches in packages under their arms.
A big canvas to hang beside the old
painting of the war dance, says
Everybody's, will show 1000 Sioux at
tending a convocation of the Episcopal
church at White Swan, S. D., and lis
tening to addresses from Bishop Hare,
or from their own clergyman, Amos
Ross, full-blood.

This looks like anti.oslerism. Chief

This looks like nti-Oslerism. Chief
Chemist Wiley of the department of
agriculture at Washington, addressing
the graduating class of a scientific
school at Cleveland, said jocularly that
he belongs to hundred-year club,
any member of which who dies before
completing the century will be ex-
PEELED in disgrace. Speaking more
seriously, he said: "The present gen.
Grafton is going to live much longer
than the one which came before, be-
cause it knows more about the laws
of diet, hygiene and surgery. 1t is a
rank disgrace for any man to die, ex-
cept of old age" And DR.. Wiley
thinks that, in view of the good pros
poets of long life as a result of proper
care and understanding of the rules
of health, it will pay a man to spend
long time, even 20 years or more, in
the schooling which shall fit him for
his work. From which it is to be in
ferred that learning how to live is one
of the essentials to long life.

WIND STORM.

Streets Blocked.
A terrific wind and rain storm Sat
urday night struck Bay city and for
half an hour the streets were so filled
with flying shingles, boards and deb
ris that travel was unsafe. The wind
was accompanied by rotary gusts. one
of which assumed cyclonic proportions
in the south end of the city and threw
four houses from their foundations, I'M
rooted several more and blew down
smokestacks, chimneys and trees by
the score.
Street car traffic In the south end
was brought to a standstill and the
interurban service was crippled fol-
several hours, a number of poles be-
ing blown down, carrying with them
feed and trolley wires. Only a por-
ton of the city lighting service is in
operation, and portion of the fire
alarm telegraph system is out. Both
telephone systems suffered severely.
Along the river front considerable
damage was done to manufacturing
plants and five large empty icehouses
were totally destroyed, the buildings
collapsing. The Pere Marquette tracks
into the city were blocked by uprooted
trees. Although two of the houses
blown down were occupied, no one
was reported injured except one man,
who had an arm broken. He was
struck by piece of flying board.

Foe of the Employer.

Federation of Miners spent Thursday
discussing the proposed new preamble
TO the federation's constitution which
commits the organization to socialism.
Percy Rawling, of Goldfield, New,
leader of the radicals, who are in
control of the convention, said in his
speech that there can be no friendly
relations between the employer and
the employed because there never can
be friendly relations between a thief
and the man he robs. He said he
wished to go on record as the enemy
of all employers of labor This SEN
timent was greeted with great ap.

The formal announcement by Wis

Aoki is to be retained at Washington,
is regarded as clearly establishing the
fact that the present Japanese minis

sured itself of the support of both the
unionist and conservative parties in
its present attitude toward America
that of Cancellation rather than the
cockipess demanded by the Jap lingo

James Rudolph Garfield. score

James Rudolph Garfield, secretary
of the interior, was standing by the
side of his father in the Pennsylvania
railroad station i'm Washington on that
fateful day in July, 1881, when the as
sassin's bullet Cor the second time
dealt death to a president of the
United States. The secretary was
then only IL years .old--just the age
when the average mind is most sus-
ceptible to impressions. Close friends
say that the horror of that hideous

lieve that its effects account for the
half-sad expression that always lin
gers in his face. even when he smiles
or laughs.

While the acidity of milk varies, re.

a level teaspOonful soda to one pint

mistake that many cooks make is 20

required to cOunteract the acidity of

be thrown away.

GROWTH OF THE TELEPHONE.
Millions of instruments Are in Use In
This Country.

Washington. - Statistics issued at
the close of the year 1906 show that
there were in use in the United States
alone more than 100000 telephones.
while an aggregate of a little more
than 100000 miles Of wire was used
for telephone service.
The telephone industry gives EN-.
ployment to 10000 persons in the
United States, an increase of III per
cent. IN six years, while during the
same period the number of stations
has increased 239 per cent. and the
wire mileage 349 per cent.
There is little doubt that much of
this increase is due to the general
adoption Of the sO-caIled message rate
system in place of the fiat annual
charge formerly in vogue. By making
the charges proportional to the num-
Der or calls the use Of the telephone
has been widely extended both be-
cause Of the greater willingness Of
people to become subscribers under
such conditions and because the sys-
TEN gives an incentive to the local
telephone companies to give good ser
vice and encourage the use of the teIe-
phone.
Another cause for the increase in
the number Of telephones in use is
