INDIAN GIRLS IN THE EAST

The self-conscious east has re- ceived a severe jolt at the hands of a party of Oklahoma Indian maidens who were sent to visit New York, Washington, Boston and several other larger cities in the culture belt With the expectation that the dark young women would gush over the wonders of effete civilization. The ladies, strangely, were surprised at nothing they saw, comporting them selves at all times with cosmopoli- tan grace and dignity which none of New York's sophisticated denizens could possibly surpass.
 The fact is, throughout their travels, the girls of aboriginal par entage displayed much more refine ment and tact and less vulgar cur iosity" than the majority of their hosts. Although they were frankly interested in the activities of the cities, they were careful not to stare rudely at passing Caucasion freaks with which the streets of most met ropolises are well supplied. On the. other hand, 1t was observed that wherever the young women went they became the center of wondering crowds, who inspected their gowns and faces without any effort to dis semble their own emotions. The east, which professes a superiority to the ordinary weakness of the hu- man animal, quite forgot it's old reso- lutions of self-containment in the presence of the pretty, educated squaws, and, strangely, these squaws showed no embarrassment because of the commotion they caused, dis playing cold unconsciousness of the rude strangers glances that might we'll make Newport snob envious. They admitted having a good time in the east-these Indian girls-but they failed to find any feature of city life which excited or astonished them in any serious degree. After one has lived for 20 years or more in country where Nature is found in it's most startling phases, one is not likely to be tricked into infantile surprise by man-made miracles Des Moines Register and Leader.

AN EIGHT POUND PUrFBALL.

If the land in Dearborn, along the River Rouge retains its wonderful propagating elements for the cultiva- tion of mushrooms it will be most valuable mushroom farm. A man. moth mushroom. which experts judge to be the real delicacy of the pun ball variety was carted from the banks of the Rouge on Thursday af- ternoon by Edmund c. w. Keith, $50 Michigan avenue.
 The mushroom, which is so large that Keith carried it in bushel bas- ket. was innocently flourishing in a secluded spot, and from all appear ances was not aware that It's extreme ly uncommon size would serve to att tract the attention of the most mex. perienced of mushroom hunters. Keith picked it up in much the same manner as one would attempt to jug gle heavy stone, and now, after in- dulging in mushroom steaks for time. it is his intention to dry what he fails to eat and save 1t for the coming winter. The puffball meas ures IS inches across, is about the same in diameter, and weighs eight pounds. Whether or not the room will be tough. as overgrowa articles of food are iikely to be, Is not known but the discovercr of the freak agrees that the captive may have taken longer than the customary daf to reach Its extraordinary erowth.-De trost Free ProoA

HOW ARBITRATION WORKED.
In the Settlement of a Strike In
 Canada.

Canada.
 The amicable settlement of the big strike of the Canadian Pacific tele- graph operators Is an Illuminating example of the wisdom of arbitration despite the fact that this method of settling the strike was not invoked until after vexatious and unneces- sary delay. When board of disin- terested men calmly considered the merits of the case 1t took them very short time to arrive at decision which was eminently satisfactory to both parties. An early resort to the arbitration board would have resulted in saving great deal of time and money and would have ob- viated much i'll feeling. A feature of this case which is not to be de- plored Is that the complaining em- ployes were found to be in the right, and the company promptly redressed their grievance.
 In this country the net results of arbitration have not been wholly en- couraging to the complaining work ingmen. Contrary to superficial belief  the presumption of justice in labor disputes is much more likely to be in favor of large employers of labor than of the men themselves, for the simple reason that employers do not court disputes and disturbances, and often submit to more or less vexa- tious interference rather than precip- itate a strike. It Is one of the in- dustrial truisms that strikes are much more frequent than lockouts; that men are more eager to quit jobs than employers are eager to reduce the number of employees. Peace is the one thing the industrial world demands more than another and for that reason employers as a rule are more than willing to meet their employees half way. Very of ten arbitration is proposed where as- sent would be merely plain abro- gation may be legitimately invoked. and, as the Canadian case and others prove, the corporation is not always in the right.
