Half Breed Is Dying on.

There will be Indians in the Cana dian northwest when there are no half. b1 eeds.' These were the words of a veteran trader just from the far north, Henry A. Cabler-a stalwart Natty Bumpo in corduroys. Consumption, this observant Leather Stockings says, is the blight which is fast wiping the half-breed out of existence.
 Nine out of ten half-breeds die of consumption he continued. "So swift are the ravages of this disease among these people that the fire in the ceme- tery is always kept burning to thaw out the ground that the graves may be dug.
 'The Indian does not seem to suffer like his half-brother. After watching these people for a number of years, 1t seems to me that they are born with the disease in them. Then his careless, slovenly life helps 1t along. In the spring the half-breed wades out into the sloughs and ponds and catches q cold. and, unlike the Indian, is unable to throw it off The half-breed morally is also weaker than the Indian. He has all the vices of both the red man and the white man, and but few of their virtues. St. Paul Dispatch.

structive work has alarmed whole sec tons of the east. The scarcity of the supply of raw material has been Its plea in justification for high prices charged for its product. If every porn stalk in thousands of fields is shown to have value for paper making pur- poses there will be no need of congress sional action on wood pulp and no vote getting effectiveness in party plat form utterances on the subject. The problem will settle itself. The giving to the farmer of an opportunity to make money out of by-product will mean much to him. The oppression of a trust will be curbed through the bounty of nature The fears for the forests will be lessened. The constant search for methods of using more eff fectively earth's products will be en- outraged. The importance of chemis- try In Its relation to daily life will be heightened The discovery of a new source of supply for paper making Is the prime thing, of course. But the attendant results of such a discovery must not be overlooked.

Simple Indications that Show When
 Rain or Sunshine Is Coming.
 If it clears off in the night, look for rain the next day. If smoke from the chimney settles instead of rising there is a storm at hand. When sound tray els a long distance there is also a storm near. Never expect much storm in the old of the moon. The absence of dew and unusually heavy dew are alike forerunners of rain. Not much frost need be expected in the light of the moon.
 An owl hooting in the hollow is a sign of cold storm; on the hill, it fore tells a thaw. If the hornets build low the winter will be hard. When leaves fall early the winter will be long. When snow falls on a hard road 1t will not last long. The last spring snowstorm never comes until after the sugar snow," which may be recognized by coming in unusually large flakes and lasting only a few minutes. If the hogs milt is found big at the front the first part of the winter will be most severe; if the reverse is true, we may look for hard winter in February and March, Bright northern lights" bring severe cold. Sun dogs indicate a bad storm.
 Distant sound heard distinctly fore bodes no good weather. If the sun draws up water" it will rain. The pitcher sweating and the tea kettle boiling dry also indicate rain. Cobwebs thickly spread upon. the grass are an indication of fair weather. Animal life seems, according to the popular notion, to have peculiar warnings regarding

It Is not easy for Americans who have grown up in an atmosphere of re ligious freedom to understand, much less to sympathize with, the feeling of intolerance which still survives in Flu rope. Religious liberty prevails in England. and freedom of worship is allowed to believers in all creeds. But there still remains unrepealed section of the Catholic emancipation act of 1929, which imposes a fine of f3O for every Roman Catholic convicted of eX- ercising any of the rites of his relig ion or of wearing the habits of his or der save within a church or a private house. The law has for years been dis regarded, and it has recently been con- mon to have open-air processions in the country on Sunday afternoons in honor of what Is called the Blessed Sac rament. The host, the consecrat6 wafer of the communion service, is ca: ried in the procession. According to the Catholic faith, the wafer has, by the sacrifice of the mass, been trans formed, and has become the real body of Christ. Such a procession was ar ranged to close the recent Eucharistic Congress in London, but so vigorous a protest was made against displaying the holy wafer in the streets that tho premier advised that the ancient law be respected. The advice was followed under protest. for although the proces- sion was held, the consecrated wafer was not taken from the cathedral and the ecclesiastics did not wear their ceremonial dress The streets were thronged. but there was no disorder The incident has led to an agitation for a repeal of the old law and a guarantee of freedom of worship 10 persons of all creeds. Of the Catho- lie countries of Europe. the restric- tion on Protestant worship prevails only in Spain. where worship must bt in private, and no symbols of the faith may be exhibited in public. Although there is nominal religious liberty in Russia. all but adherents of the Greek church find it difficult to worship un- disturbed or to enjoy the political free dom secured to the members of the State church. Intolerance there, as in many other parts of the world. Is due more to the temper of the people than to the laws.

INVESTMENT WISDOM ABROAD.
European Countries, in Ono Respect,
 Lead tho United States,

One of the great disadvantages under which the nation suffers owing to the newness of its wealth, Is the lack of knowledge on the part of the people as to how to invest properly the savings that have been accumulated or the wealth that has been produced, says the Boston Transcript. The United States is admittedly far behind Euro pean nations in this respect.
 It is undeniable that far vaster sum of money is annually lost in the country through unwlse investment than through pure speculation. Specu- latiye losses often represent the loss of money quickly gained either through former speculation or through more easy means, but the average loss of the investing public is generally loss of hard-earned or industrlously accumu- lated savings.
 The possession of wealth is frequent ly not a measure of the productive ca paclty of the man, but rather of his ability to invest money wisely. Most 'L lIif Ntli-l'-'lp li'ISVllS are III UlDTp comfortable circumstances than their neighbors, not because they have earned more money than their neighbors, but because they put their earnings into something that brought returns. The men of great fortunes of this country are more notably great as investors than as producers. The Standard oil group of capitalists known as the rich est group of men In the world, are also the greatest investors In the world.
 The future of the United States pos sesses great possibilities in the way of investment development. The business of the savings banks-partlcularly the mutual savings banks-has only begun. The enormous development of the great mutual life insurance companies, im- mense and rapid as 1t has been, is still young. The distribution of securities to holders throughout the country Is in its infancy. AS the country grows older in the production of wealth with 1t will certainly come the rise of the United States to the position of the wealthlest nation of the earth.

and statesman of wide experience and no mean ability. Before the war he was member of both branches of the State Legislature, corporation counsel of New York City, secretary of lega- tion at London and twice member of Congress.
 At the opening of the war in 1861 he raised a brigade of volunteers and was commissioned colonel of one of the five regiments. He was soon raised to brigadier general and gained dis tinction in many hard-fought battles. In 1863 he was made major general. At Gettysburg he lost a leg At the close of the war he joined the regular army as colonel and a year later was breveted brigadier general in recogni- tion of his bravery at Fredericksburg and major general for gallant and mer- itorious conduct at Gettysburg. In 1869 he was placed on the retired list with the full rank of major general.
 General Grant appointed him minis ter to Spain in 1869 and it was there he met and married his wife.
 Since the war he has been president of the New York State Board of Civil Service Commissioners, Sheriff of New York in 1890 and in 1892 was elected to Congress.

 He hasn't got a lick O sense, ain't Bill. For all that Bill is such a guy it Is best to keep my kisser quiet
 I'd like to tell him what 5 think, but
