Tie woman's Home Companion for
November.

The November Jubilee issue of the
Woman's Home Companion has spe
cial interest, because it is the Seven
Hundredth Number of the Oldest liv-
ing Woman's Magazine. This issue e
SIS pages, illustrated by famous artists
contrasted with the little flimsy s
page issue of the same magazine
which appeared in 1875. is vivid re-
n,inder of the great strides made in
periodical publishing. The old issue,
popular in its day, is modest ances-
tor to the big, influential magazine of
to-day.
This November issue, on which the
publishers have spent special effort,
because of its anniversary feature,
contains, in addition to it's regular de,
partments for women, two articles of
Importance to home dwellers and
home renters. These articles, with
facts and figures, show the advan-
tage of owning home.
Jack London, who is going around
the world for Woman's Home Com
panion in his little boat the Shark,
has in this November issue an ac-
count of travel adventures, rich with
tile spice of the South Seas.
A new novel by Florence Morse
Kingsley, entitled ''The Glass House,
begins in this issue. There are, also
'stories by Alice Brown. Juliet Wilbor
Tompkins, Mary Heaton Worse. and
Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews.
A>special article on Eyes by DR..
Woods Hutchinson is in. that physi-
clans usual crisp style.
In addition to the usual household
departments, and the enlarged fash
ion department, there are many novel
suggestions for Christmmas gifts, and

OF course it must be kept in mind
that cold air is not necessarily pure

ia, and the Cheyennes, best fight
ers Of all the red men, the tribe that
trapped Custer in the fatal Big Horn.
This is the significance Of a recent
decision interpreting the treaty of
1889, by which adj married men Of
ly the Cheyennes and the Standing
Rock band, will receive $40 acres.
III addition to the allotment Of $40
acres to each head of a family.
AS this land cannot be disposed of
fer twenty-five years, except under
special arrangements, these Sioux
tribes have only to wait to reap a
richer harvest than the most success

AT the time when they will be free
to sell the land, these Indians will
receive should be worth at least $40
! an acre. At this rate each family
estate of $50 acres has a prospective
value of $4,000. The 5000 families
in these tribes, therefore, would be
worth a grand total of $3.50, 900, 900
in lands alone, if they do hold to their
lands till the last. This would mean
q per capita wealth, for 10000 In
dAans, of S12,500. Or course some
of the lands viii be disposed of un-
Ger special arrangements, but, al
lowing for this the per capita wealth
Of each of these Indians should even
tually be between $500 and $10,-
900.
Heretofore the Usage Indians, a
lazy tribe in northern Oklahoma,
have been conceded the title of rich

latter sum the Usage tribe, so the

Rural Free Delivery.


The annual report Of the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General De-
Graw deals chiefly with the rural
free delivery service, and the pos
tai appropriation bill shows how
that service has developed in recent
years under the republican party.
Nothing SO we'll illustrates, per-
haps, the character Of the two pre-
dominant parties in the United
States as does the development of
this rural free delivery system. Year
after year it was turned down by
ia democratic administration as being
impracticable, and yet under the
operation of republican administra-
tons it has developed in every way
successfully and most advantageous
ly to the agriculturists of the Gun
try. Where only a few years ago
most OF our farmers were able 10
get their mail but once or twice a
week it is now day brc1ght to their
tage of the daily paper and of mar
ket and weather reports, enhancing
not only labor, but the pleasure of
living.
i The system Itself needs no To-
Tense. The result Of its working is
its own vindication, ana the far leri
of the country are indebted wholly
to the republican party, which had
the courage as well as the Il to
put the system into practical opett-
ton and constant development.
During the coming year it will re-
Guire an appropriation in excess Of
$50 000.u00 to carry on the seHilce.
Tlere are nearly 40, ct routes in
o-cration. and some 1900, 900 peo-
pie enjoy it's benefits. On less than
1000 of the routes service is per-
formed tri-weekly. On nearly all OF
the remainder the service is daily.
Iaere is perhaps no republican legis-
lation of recent years that has car
ried so great a benefit to SO many OF
our people. OF ourse it is exceeded
by the pension legislation, estab-
lished and developed by the party,
but that has been a matter covering
over forty years, while the rural
free delivery service has been in
operation only ter years. There is
no doubt that it will be developed
still further as requirements demand
and SO long as the republican party
remains in power the rural districts
Of the country can be sure of having
their mail delivered at their doors
ard it is possible that in the neal
future this mail, consisting of let
tiers and papers may be augmented
by the delivery of parcels and mis-
cellaneous matter, 50 that the far
mer will not only have his mail, bu
his purchases brought to his home.

transportation companies. They have
been conspicuous offenders in the
past. In their struggle for passen-
gers they have been charged with
bringing the dregs of population
across the sea. The value of their

We're considered good enough to pass

Sirable citizens.
But the reckless enterprise mani
tested by them is seriously checked
when they have to face the expense
of carrying back on the return trip
a lot of people deemed unworthy of
the opportunities afforded the de-
serving in the United States. This
possible expense item seems to be
lettering them from much of the per-
~nicious activity with which they have
been charged.
Secretary Straus believes that the
immigration laws are in satisfactory
shape at present. He sees little in
them which should be changed.
Those who have been excited to alarm
by the influx of undesirables from
Europe ought to feel encouraged. In
some instances European govern
ments are using their influence t o
discourage emigration. They are
trying to make conditions Of life at
home more attractive. The atti-
tude of the steamship companies is
helping toward the improvement of
conditions.

stand may bring about a state OF
