A Boston painter who died not long
ago was a broken down wreck in his
later days. Some feeling of pride and
shame clung to him to the last, now
ever, and, although he lived upon the
charity of nis friends, he never asked
for money outright. In the crown of
his hat he pasted this request: "Please
lend me quarter printed in big
staring letters. When making a call
he would doff his hat with much show
of dignity, and there would be the
mute appeal staring in the face his
intended victim. The scheme never

quaint touch of Oriental ingenu-

HISTORICAL PLAYS IN CHINA

Historical plays are acted every
where in China. They are popular in
the quiet villages, the homes of the
rich, in the crowded cities, and in
the busy market towns. These plays
are written with the object of intensi-
fying the bitterness and contempt of
the people against the foreigner. The
story of plunderings and massacres of
their forefathers is wildly portrayed,
with all the dramatic power that the
actors possess. The foreigner is repre-
sented as monster in appearance.
His face is dragged out of shape and
his mouth is made to appear near his
ear. His head on one side is red and
on the other blue His eyes are fierce
and staring, and murder is stamped
upon his hideous features The peo-
pie of the interior, who have never
come into actual contact with the
foreigner, have this conception of the
hated barbarian. To their minds Amer
leans, French, English, Germans are
all alike, barbarians to be destroyed.

MORROW SHEEP SEASON
DRAWING TO CLOSE

Heppner. Ore.-The sheep and
wool traffic in this section OF the
state is fast drawing to close. This
spring has been prosperous season
for the sheepmen, and If there is
plenty of late rain to produce sum-
mer range the year will go down as
a record breaker.
Nearly all of the growers have sold
their wool and delivered their spring
turn-off of sheep. They have had an
ideal spring for raising lambs and
their loss from shearing has been so
slight that it is impossible to esti-
mate.
r. F. Bicknell was the heaviest
buyer this spring, having bought and
shipped so cars, or about $4,000
sheep. Mr. Bicknell shipped some to
Nebraska and the remainder to Idaho
to summer range. NJ. F. Pugsley Of
Clifford, Mont, shipped about 10000;
F.. C. Oxman shipped 1000 to Idaho
ranges; Rea Bros. of Forsythe, Mont,
5000, and Graves of Claremont, Wyo.,
5000. The last of the sheep will go
forward on May 20, when Mr.. Oxman
will load train of Is cars for Hunt
ington. These sheep Will be grazed
near the place during the summer
and marketed in Chicago this fall.

Rev, J. NJ. Cornelison has just re-
turned from the Fort Hall agency in
Idaho where he had been to attend

cessful meeting and quite a number
OF converts were added to the church's

Tariff Revision n Farce.

Under the present system tariff re-
vision can be little better than a
farce. 1t is evident that, in an emer-
gency, only a few Of the men elected
to congress really represent the peo-
pie. The others represent the bene-
ficiaries of the tariff. Schedules are
made and passed on the showing Of
the manufacturers and producers, not
on the rights of the consumers. The
only way to secure a scientific and
equitable tariff is through a non
partisan, continuous expert commits
sion. 1t cannot be accomplished
through the republican party or the
democratic party, or both of these
parties.-Kansas City Times.

Preacher Not Always Mild.

In making his affidavit in an appli-
cation for a fishing license Rev. A.
R. Olds, manager of the Stubblefield
home in Walla Walla, shows that he
is somewhat of a wag as we'll as
fishing preacher. In addition to CIV
ing his age, weight. height, color of
eyes and h1ir, and occupation, he
states that his disposition is mild,
except when applying for a license to
fish in the state of Oregon. He also
promises not to catch any trout more
than six feet in length. 1t seems that
the Walla Walla anglers are wont "a
look upon the streams just across the
line in Oregon as part of their prop
erty. and they are wroth at being
compelled to pay license fee of $5,
when Oregon fishermen get off with

The passing of the American In
dian as a government ward-or spe-
cial problem distinct and separate
from any portion of the population
of the United States-is being rapidly
accomplished through the agency of
the Indian school. The report of
Miss Estelle Reel, superintendent OF
of Indian affairs, which has just
come from the press, is very substan.
tial evidence of the trend toward en-
tire civilization of the various Indian
tribes of America.
The booklet is the work of students
at the Chilacco Indian training school
OF Oklahoma, and is as artistically
made up as any publication by New
York printer could be.
In the review presented by Miss
Reel it is pointed out tht the Indian
is making good use of his education.
The idea of Francis Leupp, commits
sioner Of Indian affairs, to do away
with the non-reservation school, so
as TO enable entire families of In
dians to get the benefit of modern
education, has worked well. Children
who attend the reservation schools
show their parents the advantages OF
education.
Most of the educated Indians ar.
taking advantage of the law whereby
their Uncle Samuel gives them par.
eel of land once owned by the entir,
tribe and are becoming farmers
Some are physicians, missionaries
and there are several Indian attor
neys and editors.
The various tribes are being taught
among other things, the arts of theil
forefathers-bead work, basket weav.
ing and pottery.
