Our Indian Population.

The figures showing the Indian pop
ulation in the United States do not
afford much ground for sentimental
persons to lament the disappearance
OF 10" AS matter of fact the In
dams are not disappearing, SO far as
numbers are concerned. There are
now nearly 100000 members of the
aboriginal races in this country, and
there is a steady growth. AS 1t Is
doubtful whether there were ever any
more in this portion of the continent,
1t Is possible that much emotion has
been wasted In deploring the passing
of these original inhabitants. Further.
more, the Indians of the present day
are in far better condition than their
progenitors. Many are educated and
trained in ways that make them good
and worthy citizens, and they live in
manner that would astonish the red
man Of 200 years ago, could he come
back and see things as they are now.
More than half the Indians in exist
ence dress like white men and to some
extent copy civilized ways. The other
half retain much of the old-time mode
of living, but the proportion of "blan.
,ket" or wholly uncivilized redskins is
steadily growing smaller

GOOD PRESCRIPTION
SIMPLE MIXTURE THAT IS SAID
TO BREAK A COLD QUICKLY.
ingredients Can be Easily Purchased
at Little Cost From Any Good
Prescription Druggist and
Mixed at Home.

A noted authority on lung trouble adj
vises that as soon as a cold is con-
tracted the following simple treatment
should be given. The ingredients can
be purchased FROM any prescription
druggist at small cost and easily pre-
pared in your own home. 1t Is said to
be SO effective that it will break up a
cold in twenty-four hours and cure any
cough that is durable.
Take half ounce Virgin Oil Of Pine
(Pure), two ounces of Glycerine, and
eight ounces of good Whisky. Shake
well and take in teaspoonful doses ev-

Be sure that the Virgin Oil of Pine

NEED OF STANDARD WEIGHTS.
Wheat Sold by 20 Different Measures

The advocates of the metric system

1t is measured variously by the

rel, hundredweight, Genital, windle
and hobbet. Further confusion ia
caused by varying weights of a bushel
IN different parts of the country.
A boil is three bushels In some
places and four and six in others.
There are similar absurd variations
In other weights and measures.
For instance, stone of meat ia
eight pounds, stone of iron IA
pounds, a stone of cheese 16 pounds
and a stone of hemp 80 pounds.
There are seven different areas OF

The vagaries of liquid measures are
equally bewildering.

Typical Soldier Of Fortune.

Though many of the descendants of
the illustrious Edgar Allan Poe inherit
some Of his illustrious instincts, 1t Is
probably more marked in the case Of
Johnnie" Poe, who can we'll be styled
a typical soldier Of fortune. Mr.. Poe
belonged to the great Fifth regiment
Of Baltimore and served during the
war with Spain. after which he went
to the Philippines, where he was Of
fered commission for efficient work.
For the second time, however, he re-
fused the honor and remained a priv

from there to the Tonopah district,
from which he was lured in the late
fall by the call Of the gridiron.

BY D. M. AMsBERRY
Law of SerXrne.

II is no mere sentlmentalism to say
that men should learn to think more
of what Is due from them to others
than of what is due from others to
them. This is the church idea. It is
the idea also of all who have greatly
served mankind. The real heroes OF
science never were moved in any de-
gree by the thought of the recon.
pense of reward" Patriots, II they
were truly patriots, were inspired by
no such motive. Washington refused
to receive one cent of salary for com.
handing the continental armies. His
idea was that he should do something
for his country, not that his country
should do something for him. 1t was
the service and not the salary that ap-
pealed to him. Father Damien, who
went to minister to the lepers, and
who died martyr, looked on himself
as slave to duty and to his brothers
who were in affliction and misery.
When we think of such men as these,
and remember how the world has got
forward by the self-sacrifices of men
and women, does not our passionate
struggle for what we call our rights
seem Just little vulgar? We fight
SO hard to get what we think we
ought to have--when perhaps we
ought not to have 1t at all-and rebel
SO fiercely against the Withholding or
withdrawal of supposed blessings!
That is all very natural, of course, and
yet, remarks the Indianapolis News,
there is more natural-because
nobler-habit of mind II is that habit
of mind which prompts men to serve
others rather than themselves.

Mrs. Cougar is right, remarks the

equal suffrage sentiment is growing

that women who pay taxes, women in

OF the women in any community

grant such change, however, until

Members Of the senate not bankers
are opposed to the efforts of the bank
ers Of the state to secure an amend
ment to the present law governing
state repositories. The present law
requires banks desiring to become re-
positories to give a guaranty bond Of
twice the amount they may receive
as deposit from the state. The
bankers insist that the law is unjust,
as it requires them to pay a double
bond premium for the deposits, which,
as they are only for a short time, can
not be loaned for more than six
months. The bill introduced by Sena-
tor Randall provides that repositories

The 2-cent passenger fare bill
drafted by the joint railroad commit
tee passed the house 80 to 0. The
bill was hurried over to the senate
and 1t will now be a matter of agree
ment between the two bodies which
measure shall be passed. Many are
looking for the enactment of the
house bill, No. 267, since it is the
measure that was drafted by the spe-
cial committee to carry out the re-
publican platform pledges. The SEN
ate bill by Sackett of Gage, in the
hands Of the house, would have been
acted upon by the house had the rep
resentatives been in a mood to pass
that bill. The two measures differ in
only one particular. They both re-
enact the present law fixing the pas
senger rate and merely change the
rate per mile. The house bill, how
ever, contains a provision that no
ticket shall be sold for less than 5
cents, which is construed to relate to
interurban charges as well as to rail-
road fares. Both bills have an emer-
gency clause.
