way In which animals can adapt them
selves to their surroundings.
"On the upper reaches Of the river
there was large pool just fordable

horses making their run in the vicin-

number Of foals and yearlings used TO
come down every day in the long. dry

INDIAN DIVORCES.

The Indians Of South Dakota have
cheerfully accepted some of the con
veniences of our civilization
Among these are the white mans di-
vOrce laws. which the Indians cherish
as means of culture and uplift.
"A correspondent tells Of Il Sioux buck
who walked into a lawyers office at
Chamberlain demanding divorce He
wore huge sombrero. greasy and
dirty. with pair of overalls Tapping
about the ankles and Il blue checked
cotton jumper soiled by weeks of wear.
The Sioux. unable to speak English.
made known his desires through an i'll
terpreter. He said his squaw had six
husbands previously to marrying him.
The lawyer filed an application for
divorce on the plea of incompatible
ity."
Eagle Boy hoped the lawyer would
hurry, as he had already selected a
new wife-the squaw of another In
dian who had applied for divorce
When he got tired of the new wife.
he volunteered the information. he
would get another in the same man
! ner
The smiles of Eagle Boy plainly indi,
Gated that he thought the whole proce-
dure a lot of good fun.
Formerly when IN Indian grew tired
of his squaw he sold her to some one
else for pony or blanket or a bag
of flour. Now he is civilized He con
suits a divorce lawyer-and sells her
just the same.
The marriage custom is also changed.
The buck selects his wife according to
tribal precedent, but immediately starts
with her for the nearest justice of the
peace or missionary and gets the sane
ton of the law. Marriage or divorce.
1t Is all the same to the discriminating
abOrigine.
Lo. the poor Indian. is up to date.
The tribes. 1t is said, point with pride
to young braves who have had four or
five wives and been freed from them
by law.
And why not2

SUCCESS AND FAILURE.

Both man and animal are in a cease

the animals selfishly battle for the mas

Man also fights his fellows. not with
teeth and claws, but with cunning and
foresight and skill Wit takes the
place of the club of the stone age.
And in the arena of competition men
face one another as bravely as did the
gladiators Of Rome and Corinth. But
There Is this difference.
Among men the fight must be fair.
IL In his climbing up the man uses foul
means to pull his fellow down. lie is
dishonored. If he employs deceit or
force. he descends to the brute.

way by which one can wiring from the
world Of today its admiration and it's

CHAMPS WIN OUT

St Louis April 23.-Rallying back
and breaking down the weak defense
of the Cardinals when they seemingly
were beaten, the worlds champions
took revenge on Sallee yesterday and
won the opening game of the local Ma
tional league season. Z to 3.
St. Louis broke all to pieces In the
eighth inning, and the Cubs, follow
ing up their advantage, pounded out
five runs and won with a comfortable
margin.
The defeat was crushing blow to
the hopes of the Il, 900 loyal Cardinal
rooters who. headed by the mayor and
other dignitaries. gave Roger Bres-
nahan and his new team a rousing wei
come. Before the flowers that they
presented to the Cardinals had begun
to wilt and befort the cheers 1avished
upon St Louis heroes had died down
the crowd began knocking. To be
beaten when it looked as if the Cubs
had thrown away the game was hard
and to be beaten and overwhelmed aft
er the champions should have been re
tired was even worse.
