INDIANS TO SIGN ALL
acknowledgements
WITH THEIR THUMBS
Levpp Has Found Way to Make
:Rsdskins FAKE Signatures
Seriously.

Washington, Feb. 13.-lndtan Copi-
whatsoever LcoDp has at asst found a
way to induce his aboriginal wards 10
tracts, treaties and other obligations.
He had adopted the plan OF having
each Indian sign his name either in
writing OF with q Cross. and them
set opposite II The print. in indelibie
ink. Of tho signer's right thumb.
Toe Indian a a peculiarly easy
notion of the binding character az a
contract in which the government Us
invoaved Long generations of exper-
fence with signing things no doe11
really want to sign, and which have an
. often meant something cry df-
ResOnt from what ha was assured they
meant, has made him wary OF signlnG
and reckless of keeping his contract
Especially n this true OF the lArHs
majority Of Indians who cannot write,
hnt sign with q cross
THOUSANDS OF cases have arisen ok
Indians not only swearing hat theU
never signed contracts. but pHOduc-
3n8 Indian witnesses who fully COR
soooIated b testimony; and the gov
ernment has often been unable to provo
5ts caSe. All Indians look a good deal
a1tke. and moreover their system Ct
names 10 such that they not tnfre-
gently turn up afterward under DIT
yeYent anne than those used in sign
Ing contracts.
Indian Inspector James Mclaughlin
u credited with the invention of the
thuynb-print scheme OF mailing the
red mar to the letter OF his ngroe-
ment and positively identifying him.
No two Indian hurnbs are nearly
mike. a no two thumbs OF n other
z @ are. The Indian has all this
carefully explained 70 him, and the
ceremony Of putting his thumb print
opposite hts namc IL invested with a
degree Of soNemnity that greatly I'm
presses him. He understands that he
can't deny that signature. and In ex-
,perience 1t IL found that contrasts
aligned this way are much less likely
TO be thoughtlessIy repudiated. II they
Enye the proof is absolute. and ths
government has everything In its own
9raysds.
The FIRST treaty thus signed was be
tween Inspector Mclaughlin and xabs
Rosebud Sioux Indians of South Daaso.
IA, q little more than a year ago. y
looked to tho opening Of a large area
of Indian lands to settlement. &c
well did the plan work that Commits
efOner Leupp has ordered that 1t be
employed In all treaties. arrangements

bcrs. and other t~ransaCtions requir.

A Timely Air.

During one of the political tours
of Mr.. Cleveland, in which he
was accompanied by Secretary
Olney, he arrived during a
severe storm at a town in which
he was to speak. AS he entere d
the carriage with his friends and
was driven from the station the
rain changed to hail, and i'm :
mense stones battered and rat
tied against the vehicle. A brass
band, rather demoralized by the
storm, stuck bravely to its post
and played.
THAT is the most realistic
music | have ever heard, re-
marked the president.
What are they playing?" ask
ed the secretary of state.

few new books occasionally for
the family to read, and never be
satisfied just to let things rock
along" but be wide-awake and
progressive in all things that go
to make your surrounding more
attractive and life worth living.
| know that some who read
this say that it can't be done,
that it sounds all right. but that
in practice it is impossible to
make a country home as attrac-
tive as the city home. OF course
you cannot, if you are poor, have
all the luXuries of the rich, and
you do not need them, but you
can do many things you have not
heretofore done to create a love
on the part of the children for
the country home, and in doing
so you will also increase your
own pride in your possessions, as
well as in your family.
There are people living in town
on the most meager incomes
who have the comforts | have
mentioned, and who feel that life
would not be worth living with
out these thing. They may not
be saving up as much money as
you are, or acquiring as much
property, but they are living,
and not merely existing, and
they are giving their children in
their time pleasure and con-
tentment and love for home that
is worth more to them than all
the property you can devise to
them at your death. Will H.

Panhandle Now is Raising Hogs.

Certainly, we have a shortage
in cattle in the plains and Pan
handle country" said Judge o.
H. Nelson of Amarillo, last night.
The tax records of the forty-s six
counties that compose the Pan
handle section of Texas show
that there are 30 per cent less
cattle in those counties now than
were there two or three years
ago. But the few cattle left
us are of much better grade and
stock than we formerly owned,
although the Panhandle and
plains country raises the finest
cattle in the world.
Our country is also develop
ing into dairying country, and
the newcomer is importing dairy
herds. Within the course of a
few years we will be supplying
the state with its dairy products
and exporting to Cuba. Why
should we not raise dairy cattle
beside beef cattle? We have the
best grain country in the world
and raise alfalfa, katfir corn,
milo maize and Indian corn in
abundance.
I'VE are also going extensively
into hog raising. Up to five
years ago in the counties COM
posing the Panhandle we had
only from $500 to 5000 head of
hogs, while at present we have
over 100000, and we have never
yet failed to top the Fort Worth
market. The same cereals that
are good for cattle are good for
hogs. Corn is cheaper in the
staked plains country than at
Kansas City, and corn can be
bought on the plains for about
40 cents per bushel where you
will pay about 60 cents in Kansas
City.
Yes, we expect to begin work
on our packing house within the
next six months, and will COM
mence work in Amarillo within
the next ten days. The propos-
ed plant will take care of about
$50 head of cattle daily and 600
head of hogs. Some day we
hope to rival Fort Worth as a
cattle center. Fort Worth
Record.
