1t will astonish many to learn from
government reports that the Indians
are increasing in number instead of
decreasing, and that they are becom-
ing more self-supporting This graft
flying improvement is laid to the
greater facilities afforded for the edu-
cation of boys and girls in the govern
ment schols and in the system of ap-
portioning lands, says the Baltimore
American. 1t is time that some meas
IRE of justice were being melted out to
the original possessors of the land and
efforts made to turn them from row
ing savages into useful and self-re-
specting citizens.

The remarks of President Swain to
the students at the opening of Swarth-
more college the other day contain
much of sound sense. do not form
the habit III college of spending large
sums of money" said Dr. Swain to the
freshmen. when one has learned the
value of money and has a large de-
gree of earning power, this matter will
usually take care of itself. College stu
dents are not, as a rule, large money
earners, and are usually spending
money earned by others. 1t is usu-
ally safe rule not to spend much
money until you have learned how to
earn it."

GAN oLD-FAsHIoNED WINTER

Those who believe that nature gives
various warnings in the fall when the
winter is going to be severe, are pre-
dieting a strenuous season for snow
and ice and low temperature. They
say that the wild birds which stay =
the north during the winter have I'M
usually thick plumage. The shells Of
nuts are reported to be heavier than
they are when mild winter is coming,
and chestnut burrs are also of the
''old-fashioned winter" kind, If these
weather prophets are correct. Fur
bearing animals are more warmly
clad, according to the same wiseacres,
than they are before "open" winters,
and the bones of geese make the same
prophecy. It is all very Interesting,
but men who make the study of the
weather their life work and bring to
bear upon it all of the learning and
scientific resources of the age, utterly
reject these much trusted warnings.
They are certain that there is nothing
in the whole theory of animal prep
arations, conscious or unconscious, for
differences in winters. They do not
believe that the trees grow more bark
or put thicker burrs on nuts because
the winter is going to be severe. In
fact, the scientific experts who deal
with the climate seriously and with
infinite pains, in all civilized countries,
year after year, are sure that there is
no nature sign language which tells
the character of the weather months
in advance.

HEAR FROM KIDNAPPED GIRL
Meeting Is Arranged Between ChiId's
Mother and ENJOYS of Perpe-
traitors of Crime.

Louisville, Ky.-The first light upon
the mysterious disappearance of
Alma Katherine Kellner, the eight
year-old daughter of Frederick Kell-
ner, brewer of this city, was fur
nished when Mrs. Kellner declared
that meeting had been arranged be-
tween herself and ENJOYS of the kid

The child was kidnapped on the

persons, one believed to be a man, al
though both wore woman's clothing,
and was taken away in a wagon.
Owing to the prominence of the
Kellner family the kidnapping stirred
the city to its depths. Police in every
city in the middle west were notified
and are searching for the child and
her kidnapers.

A Chicago man, to whom was de-
MED lease in an apartment because
he had children, is suing his landlord
under the law which declares land
lords may not refuse to rent to fam
lilies with children. If that law stands
the test of a court decision it will sur
prise some people, says the Milwau-
kee Wisconsin. While man with
children must have a place to keep
them, yet the owner of property
should have the right to refuse to
rent his property to anyone whom he
considers undesirable.

According to revised estimates" by
the geological survey, the coal re-
naming in the United States amounts
to some three thousand billion short
tons. The figures are inconceiVable,
but what they signify can be readily
understood. In a word, the supply is
sufficient to last for more than 1000
years; presumably, at that, allowing
something for present wasteful meth
DDS of production. To be sure, some
thing less than one-half of the supply
is accessible only with difficulty, &C
cording to known methods of extrac-
ton. Still, with whatever exceptions,
the revised estimates give a more
hopeful outlook than the public had
been led to believe were possible from
figures heretofore submitted.

HABITS CHAIN
Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed
and Hard to Break.

An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces-
sary to break a lifelong habit would,
If it could be transformed, lift weight
Of many tons.
1t sometimes requires a higher de-
gree of heroism to break the chains of
a pernicious habit than to lead for
lorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady
writes from an Indiana town:
From my earliest childhood was
lover of coffee. Before was out of my
teens I was a miserable dyspeptic, suf-
fering terribly at times with my stom-
ach.
81 was convinced that it was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet
could not deny myself cup for
breakfast. At the age of &c was in
very poor health, indeed. My sister
told me l was in danger of becoming
a coffee drunkard.
"But never could give UP drinking
coffee for breakfast, although it kept
me constantly i'll, until tried Postum.
l learned to make it properly according
to directions, and now we can hardly
do without Postum for breakfast, and
care nothing for coffee.
81 am no longer troubled with dys-
pepsia, do not have spells of suffering
with my stomach that used to trouble
me so when l drank coffee"
Look in pkgs. for the little book, 1.-THE
Road to Wellville.' There's Reason"

one appears FROM time 10 time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
kEterests
