OF making forty miles an hour on fay-

and other transportation expenses.
The official report of Colonel Hon
man, commander.in-chief of the forces
which went to the Hickory grounds
after the Snakes, shows that not a
shot was fred by militiamen in re-
storing peace.
The first Crazy Snake uprising, the
spring OF 1908, was suppressed at
cost OF $50 The only soldier that
went to the front then was Adjutant
General Canton, former United
States marshal OF undoubted cour-
age. He went to the Snake camp in
full uniform and alone. There he
found coo Indians armed and exeit-
ed lie told them that II they didn't
lay down their arms and disperse he
would bring a thousand men and wipe
them of the face of the earth. So
impressed were the Indians at his
courage in coming alone into their
midst, and by his firm threat TO an.
nihilate them unless they laid down
their arms. that they stacked their
rifles in a pile before him, and Crazy
Snake bound himself under oath tC
cease his warlike work. Two days
later not an Indian was to be found
in the neighborhood They had al
gone nome to their cotton patches and
corn dields.

How To Teach the Child Not To Fear
the Dark.

Few of us can find it in our hearts
to pardon tthe coward. There is a
special shame attaching to lack of
courage. Cowardice in children is
often the most perplexing problem
for parents.
Most of childhood's first fears are
unfounded. But here familiarity will
operate to instil contempt of dread.
Is the child afraid Of the dark Go
into the dark and come back out of
it, showing holm that that you have
met with no misadventure. Then
take him into the dark with you, and
ct him realize that there is no harm
there. DO not hurry this part of the
education, but gradually coax or
send the child on short and then
longer. excursions into the dark by
himself-The New Idea Woman s
Magazine for January.
