Individuals Duty of Keeping Himself
at High State Of Working Efficiency.

The ind vidual's duty is to keep him.
self well-that is to say, in condition
for performing his part of the work Of
the world. He must come to look upon
his physical organism as a tool, and to
realize that upon the state of this
tool depends the quantity and the
quality of the work that he a do
with hand or brain. AS a social asset
and it is in this aspect that we are
now considering him-a man is valu-
able precisely in proportion to the
quantity and the quality Of the work
that he can do. Therefore, as a part
of the social organism. it is a mans
duty to keep himself in the highest
possible state of working efficiency.
How to do this, Prof. Fisher indi-
Gates in W words: avoid pOisons'-
poisoned air, poisoned water, poisoned
food, poisonous thoughts. poisonous
emotions, and just plain pOisons like
alcohol, tobacco and drugs. Breathe
deeply of pure air, eat abstemiOusly Of
foods demanded by appetite. Exercise
for the delight of physical expression,
not to win a game or because you
think you ought tO-and exercise the
intellect and the emotions as we'll as
the muscles. Wear as few clothes as
possible, and these of porous materials.

In no year since the development OF
Western Canada began has spring
brought a brighter outlook than it
brings this year. In no preceding

from across the Atlantic sturdy. indus

from Ontario and the other older

ready in full flow, which, it is conf

OF all previous years; special settlers

A NEGRO WOMAN SCULPTOR.

Miss EdmOnia Lewis, the colOred
sculptor. has lived for SO many years
abroad, says the Rosary Magazine,
that many of her country people have
we'll nigh forgotten her existence.
Miss Lewis is of mixed African and
indian blood, her father having been
a negro and her mother an Indian Of
the Chippewa tribe in New York, in
which state she was born, near AL
bany, some time about the year 1910.
Her parents died while she was still
a child, and she lived and roamed
with her mothers people until she
was fifteen, when by the assistance
of her brother sh event to Oberlin,
Ohio, to college.
AS she was a fervent Catholic she
found the atmosphere Of Oberlin
somewhat uncongenial, but she stud
led there for two or three years, and
there her Indian name of Wildfire
was changed t othat of Edmonia Lew
is. From childhood she had always
had wonderful power with her hands
in shaping anything she touched, and
while studying she began her career
as a sculptor.
She came into notice in 1865
through the exhibition Of her first
work a bust of Robert Gould Shaw
of Boston. That same year she be-
gan work at Rome, where she has
ever since resided.

CORPORATIONS WIN
IN BOUT WITH STATE

Aberdeen, S. D., Feb. 5.-The Grim
final feature OF the state antitrust law
passed in 1897 Is not applicable TO
corporations, according to a decision
rendered by Judge Mccoy, of the Fifth
circuit, In the case OF the state against
the Lambert Lumber company and the
Tuthill Lumber company, Minneapolis
corporations, operating also in South
Dakota.
The cases came up from Day county
where complaint was mad against the
corporations, which were charged with
maintaining prices which eliminated
competition and violated the law re-
ferred TO.
Attorneys for the defendant COM
panies filed a demurrer to the COM
plant, setting forth objection to the
statute which makes the fixing OF rates
by one company different from those
OF another company, operating at the
same place, a conspiracy.
The case was tried at Webster last
week before Judge Mccoy who took
the case under Adjustment and yester-
day rendered his decision in favor OF
the defendant companies. The state
will appeal the case to the supreme
court,

HOUSE DEFEATS BILL
FOR EQUAL SUFFRAGE
THE SECOND TIME

Pierre, s. d., Feb. 3.-The house re-
peated the performance of two years
ago and killed the equal suffrage
amendment which had passed the SEN
ate. While the senate passed the meas
ure practically without opposition, the
house divided It's strength on the ever
vote of 81 for the amendment and 81
against. The house passed the capitol
completion appropriation bill.
The vote in the senate was so close
on the bill to accept Andrew Carnegie's
donation of $4,000 for a library at the
university, that Hawkins changed his
vote from aye to nay SO that he might
move a reconsideration. His change
tied the vote. but the presiding Of
ficer permitted him to change back
to save the measure from defeat.
Four railroad measures passed the
senate as follows: To require railroad
companies to report to railroad COM
mission all wrecks and accidents; to
report the number OF elevators, ware
houses and coal sheds on their respec-
tive lines; TO authorize railroad COM
missioners TO appear In court in rail-
road cases. and TO compel railroads TO
maintain toilette rooms at waiting sta
tons.

HOLLOW HORN BEAR
AT INDIAN BUREAU
ASKING ANNUITIES
Demands $4,000 Copies of
His Picture on SIS Ger
tificates.

Washington, Feb. Am Indian who
looks like real ready money has come
to town. His name is Hollow Horn
Bear, and he is the chief orator of the
Rosebud Sioux tribe of South Dakota.
Hollow Horn Bear is reputed to be
the handsomest and most typical IN
dian in the country, and that's why he
looks like ready money. His picture
adorns the SIS silver certificate. 1t was
put there because the connoiSseurs IN
Indian peatuy regarded him as the
finest Indian now eXtant.
Hollow Horn Bear is SO years old
and as straight as an Indian ought to
be. He hasn't a ray hair in his head
and there Is enough hair to make a
mattress. In addition to being beauti-
full, Hollow Horn Bear is long with the
white mans game" as he calls the
art of conversation. In truth, he has
most white men dashed securely to the
bowsprit and the ship sinking head on,
when it comes to the art of talk. He
comes every once in a while to talk a
few hundred thousand u Of the
stony-hearted bureau of Indian affairs.
That's what he wants on the present
trip.
A Fortune Delayed.
The bureau has been holding out on
his tribe some $500, 600 or money which
the tribe thinks ought to be distributed
to mino children. 1t represents part
payment for h lands of the Rosebud
reservation, the department maintain
ing that 1t would be a waste of the
money to turn over their shares to the
minor children. The law, however,
provides for the distribution, and the
Indians want the cash. Hollow Horn
Bear hopes to take home about $4,000
copies of his picture on the IS certih-
Gates.
Along with Hollow Horn Bear is a
delegation of Sioux, n of whom is
Chief Good Voice. Oddly enough. Good
Voice is no orator at all; he grunts oc-
~casionally, but Hollow Horn Bear Toes
the talking. Reuben Quick Bear, High
Pipe. John Colombo, Eagle Horse and
Stranger Horse are the others of the
delegation.
Colombo is a thrifty aborigine. He
owns more and than he can tell about.
The government gave him $40 acres,
his wife 800, and each child 100 acres,
and Colombo has never got far
enough in mathematics to be able
to figure all he holds in the family. He
lives on q 20-acre piece at the +
OF his estate. and rents the rest to
white men. white. man works for
me-" he says disdainfully as he cranks
up the carburetter of his auto: for he
WINS and drives a machine.
