With us 1t is the custom to visit
the graves Of our friends and keep
them in repair for many years. The
mother will go alone to weep over
the grave Of her child. The brave,
with pleasure, visits the grave of his
father, after he has been successful
in war, and repaints the post that
marks where he lies. There is no
place like that where the bones of
our forefathers lie to go to when in
grief. Here PROSTATE by the tombs
of our fathera will the Great Spirit
take pity on us.
But how different is our situation
now from what it was in those hap
py days. Then were we as. happy as
the buffalo on the plains, but now,
We are as miserable as the hungry
wolf on the prairie. But L am d.

Elections crowd upon my mind and

During the first year the newly
married ascertain whether they can
agree with each other and be happy;
If not, they separate, and each looks
for another companion. If we were

Nothing can be sold but such things
as can be carried away.
The white people have brought whis
key to our village, made our people
drunk, cheated them out of their
horses, guns and traps. This fraud
ulent system was carried to such an
extent that l apprehended serious
difficulties might occur unless stop
was put to it. Consequently visit
ed all the whites and begged them
not to sell my people whiskey. One
of them continued the practice open
ly; took a party of my young men,
went to his house, took out his BAR
rel, broke in the head and poured
out the whisky. l did this for fear
some of the whites might get killed
by my people when they were drunk.

they ought to be satisfied to remain,

given them, and not drive others
from the country he has given them
because it happens to be better than
theirs. This is contrary to our
way of thinking, and from my inter

religion is "to do unto others as
you wish them to do unto you.'

(speeial Correspondence


NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Hats
off-the whole 100000 of us
to the billion-dollar age. 1t is
here, the day when men with 100
horsepower autos have to own one
thousand millionaire power pock-
etbooks, in order to be rich.
One thousand millionaires = a
whole small town full of them,
would have to join their wealth
to be as rich as the new billion
dollar combination of the Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Co.,
the Western Union, perhaps the
Postal, and other smaller cable
and telegraph. and telephone COM
panies.
And, at the very same moment
that this giant trust is forming the
giants of finance are working to
merge the copper companies of
the country. The copper trust will
be as rich as a thousand million
aires.
A trust of trusts, the telephone
and telegraph merger will be. This
|billion-dollar broom has swept In
to it's corner vast companies, as
If they were so much dust. The
giant telephone companies that
used to Cypress us and make us
feel helpless, have been only tiny
|specks before the billion-dollar
bosom. Into it's hopper the new
trust has swept such great con-
Germs as the New York Telephone
Co, $3O,0OO,000; the Chicago Tel
|ephone Co., $17,500,000; New
England Telephone & Telegraph
Co., $31,0O0,000; Southern Tele-
phone Co.. $21, 100000; Western
Telephone & Telegraph Co., $16,-
900, 900, and innumerable smaller
companies.
1t was mere child's play. Nine
land a half million miles of wire
passed into the control of the new
company.
1t was astonishing to see the
|millionaires toppled over in this
rush of 1biIfion-dollar-pow
Folks we have looked upon as Glib
iraltars of wealth proved helpless
Mrs. Russell Sage yielded her
shares of Western Union stock
the Goulds, George j. and Edwin
once naughty and proud in Their
vast wealth, were forced to sur
render to the great trust.
Millions, tens of millions, scores
of millions-they We're weak and
helpless; just mere tiny savings in
2 sock, in this new Billion Dollar
age.
Before the billion-dollar idea,
which grew in the brain of quiet
old Theo. N. Vail of Boston rose
like a great flood and gently float
ed vast fortunes, like chips into
the range of influence of the new
trust, until now it's assets, not
counting the good wilf that is
supposed to play so large a part in
business, aggregates s842, 100000
There are facts just as dizzy
about the formation of the billion
dollar copper trust, now under
way.
Thirteen giant copper properties
ranging in value from 81 100000
each to $15O,O00,000, are being
moved as pawns in chess game
And now only a few months age
we, the ~rblic, considered each
|one of n as a trust in itself.
