Few white women can extract more
pleasure from the purchase of house
hold necessities, or make of 1t a more
protracted dissipation, than the indian
woman, says a writer in the Delineator.
In search of gaudy blanket, highly col
ored calico and Bingham. multi-hued
handkerchiefs with which to turban her
head, or perhaps a pair of shiny storm
rubbers to wear over her mocoasins in
bad weather, she spends more hours than
she does dollars, driving the shrewdest
of bargains.
One popularity of the Indian woman
shopping is that she will deaf with men
clerks only, educated Indian women OK
cepted. Frequently she will cross the
street to another store TO make her pur-
chase for no other reason than that a
man is there TO serve her, the rival shop
having made the mistake of sending a
girl clerk to learn her wants. If the
clerk can speak Chinook" the universal
jargon OF the Indian, so much the bet
ter; she will wait patiently for hours to
secure his services.
The Indian woman shopping is never
in a hurry. Pointing to a pile of dress
goods she exclaims, "Eneh,' and the clerk
proceeds to tap each bolt until a salts
fled Huh" convinces him he has hit on
the desired one. Carefully feellng the
cloth the Indian woman, after many min
utes, bargains for a couple of yards. She
pays for it and slowly moves on to the
adjoining counter, where the calicoes or
ginghams or percales tempt. The bolts
lie in fantastic profusion before her, but
she patiently waits for the clerk to ham
die them one by one, and after a half
hours elaboration she purchases a few
yards, once more settles her account and
moves on to the next counter.
So she goes through the entire store,
paying for each article as 1t is bought,
until the sunlight fades, the electric light
globes twinkle and the days shopping is
at an end. Probably she has spent a cou-
pie of dollars in four hours. one peculiar
feature being that the large purchases
have been made more quickly M with
less bartering than the small ones.

her orchards are kept In first-class CON
dition, and likewise keeps the closest
watch over her sheep. pigs, horses. cows
and pastures. Dressed in a sensible cos
tune and stout. high rubber boots, she
is here and there and everywhere about

pig pens, sheep pens, horse stables and
plowed ground. II my foreman needs a
hand I want 10 be ready TO turn in and
help him. and l don't mind the dirt Why

Now she is found experimenting The
laying OF a floor in one OF the pigpens,
now taking a turn on the potato planter,
now feeding her beautiful Lincoln sneep.
The hogs on the Webb farm are aristo-
crats-seventy-five Poland-Chinas. One
2-year-old, which captured first prize at
the Pacific National show in Portland
last year. could, Miss Webb says. be
brought to 700 pounds for exhibiting pur-
poses. The 100 sheep on the farm are
pure blooded Lincolns. so jealously cared
for, in dry sanitary sheds and the best
pastures. that they are kept free from
disease, in spite of the fact that sheep
are prone to disease in that climate.
Miss webb's sheep bring her a hand
some profit. They shear from ten to
fifteen pounds of the best wool, and then
they are very prolific, and they are al
ways in demand for breeding purposes.
Twelve Jersey COWS and a flock of
Plymouth Rock chickens complete the
stock, though of course there are
horses. Miss Webb's own saddle horse
was General Skaters mount in the mil
itary parades in San francisco following
the Spanish-American war.
Oriental Girls as Students
Oriental girls lend themselves easily to
all that belongs to the aesthetic side OF
academic training, says President Mary
Mills Patrick, of Constsntinople's great
school for girls, in Harper's Bazaar. Al
most all are good students with wonder
full memories. They are especially good
Iinguists and are very clever at Ora
mates. They often devise their own cos
tunes and manage their own stage furni'
ture and scenery. Classic plays have
been given by the Greek department from
tlmo to time In which the music of tho
choruses had been written by a Greek
who has made an exhaustive study of the
music of the ancient Greek drama Sc
lections from Moliere and shakespeare
are presented i'm French and English al
different times by the literary societies
Many OF the girls are musical ana there
are numerous concerts by the college
chorus. The departments of art, archaeol
ogy, and history have special advantages
in the surroundings, so closely connected
with the rich past of Byzantium ano
Asia Minor. The curriculum is similar to
that of colleges in America, with its work
in biology and physics, English and math-
ematies, psychology and philosophy. The
college is non-secteri an and makes no at
tempt at p~roselytiEing. but the moral In
fluence is strong and direct.

THE esteemed Post Dispatch, after
weeks and weeks of laborious ef-
fort, finally ''fggers" it out that in
st. Louis more than 10000 votes
we're fraudulently counted for SEN
ator Stone, basing it's conclusion,
mainly, on the fact that the head
of the State ticket fell short of the
Senator's vote. Then, as the other
candidates for State Offices also
according to the certiHcated cast
ing up) ran ahead of ''the head of
the ticket 1900 votes in the city,
/ presume Painter, Roach, Cowgirl,
ETC., must be held to owe their
election to fraudulent counting. If
not, why not? Great is the P.-D.!
It hews to the line of it's hatreds
and it's prepoasessions, and can
trim fact to accord to desire as the
skilled smith fits the key to the

I SEE that Judge Wright has
"socked it to" Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison for having dared to
write and publish things unfriend-
" to the Buck Stove Co. after he
had officially told them not to do

WHAT a world of feeling is con-
veyed in the following paragraph!
1t is from the pen of a st. Louis
correspondent to the New York
World:
ga Christmas tree, ornamented
as for children's festival, stands on
the grave of Mrs. Adeline Rolling
in Concordia Lutheran Cemetery,
Over the tree and covering the en-
tire burial plot is a canopy of hol-
ly and evergreen supported by
frame work like that of a tent.
On the tree are thirty-three electric
lights-green, red, amber and
white-the number equalling the
years of Mrs. Rolling's life. The
headstone bears twelve lamps, cor
responding to the number of years
of her married life. On the grave
in green and red letters, formed
from natural plants, are the initials
M. A. r. Every evening at
5 o'clock the electric current is
turned on and the burial place of
the young wife and mother be-
comes a softly lighted bower of
beauty. The remarkable decora-
ton of the grave is the tribute of
DR.. F. w. Rolling to the memory
of his wife. On the last Christmas
of her life Mrs. Rolling helped her
husband decorate a tree for their
little boy, then eight years old.
It>had been their custom to do this
every Christmas. After her death
the boy said to his grief-stricken
father: Papa, we can't have a
tree next Christmas without nam.
ma, can we?' The idea then &C.
cured to DR.. Rolling of placing
the tree on the grave"
O, does the mother know, and can she see
Her dear ones sacred tribute glowing there?
Do sweet emotions thrill her spirit form
And move the hov'ring soul to loving pray'r?
The trnth is Heavens: not for US to know
Through grosser earthly touch, or sound, OIL
sight;
IT'S only Faith that springs the hope It's So
That cheers and lights us through this pass
ing night.
While this our earthly life is but a breath,
Uncertain, htful, wav'ring, insecure
AT most a dream whose fancies end in death
With all its purpose to our sense obscure,
Yet here, despite the grave, that mother still
In tender thought enshrined and sanctifed,
Is with her cherished ones thro' good and i'll
AT once their sorrow, s%olace, shield anC

The Senate Finance Committee
has voted to increase the salary of
the President to $500, 900 a year.
Why not make it a million dollars?
1t can be easily made up by de-
creasing, by way of taxation, the
St.25 per diem wage of the common
herd. The latter will not "kick."
On the contrary, they will straight

oms and applaud "the party that

When we called attention recent

edited from Republican headquar-
tors in st. Louis we struck a tender
spot in the anatomy Of the brother
who is supposed to edit the Enter

THIS is the view the Dexter
Messenger takes of it: SIT is no
wonder that the Democratic party
is unable to elect a president, when
we tske into consideration that
one-third of our population is
foreign born, and that sixty per
cent. of these foreigners vote un-
der the direction of Eastern and
Northern manufacturers and mine
owners at so much per head.
They have no interest in our
government, nor do they care who
is president, so long as they have
a job. Many of them are here to
accumulate a competence and then
return to their native land with
American money to live the bal
ance of their lives. America
would be much better off without
them"

THEN, it is presumed, a Jew may
keep open a saloon, or sell drinks
of all kinds, on Sunday, provided
he does not sell on Saturday. And
he may do anything else on the
Christian Sabbath, If the New York
idea is adopted.-Dunklin Democrat.
Well, what then? Is not a Jews
religious conviction as sacred to
him as is the Christian belief to
another man? What just right has
law to step in and establish q faith
or any dogma under that faith?
The costly lessons of the past teach
that numbers do not justify creed.

He acknowledged the corn" said
the matter was sure enough written
in st. Louis and furnished by the
Republican Press Bureau" But
inst why he failed to tell the read
ers of the Enterprise so he does
not state. The same stuff he pub
fishes shows up each weekin other
little Republican sheets, yet our
brother sees fit to give it a date
and label it as Especial Cores
p~ondence" when he prints it.
What is especial correspondence"
brotherP 1t is not matter fur
nished by a "bureau." The stuff
the "Republican Bureau" in st.
Louis sends to you it sends to 9TH
er papers throughout the state.
1t is not especial correspondence
to the Enterprise. If it had been
no other paper would have re-
ceived it. The Ironton patriot
either knows what especial cores
pondence" means or he does not
know. If he does know, then he
is practicing deceit, fooling his
readers, a thing very unbecoming
in one who is devoting his life to
the dissemination of the principles
of the party of "great moral
ideas" If he does not know the
difference between the political rot
the "Republican Bureau" in st.
Louis is sending him and what is
commonly known as especial cor

than an average Republican coun-

THAT Panama revolution" if
it was, as is Enthusiastically al
legged, inaugurated by grafters and
carried to completion through the
aid of Uncle Sans navy, is a
mighty black spot upon the histo-
ry of this Republic. The Colon
bian government was told to keep
hands off the revolutionists, and it
had to submit. Supposing Eng
land in 1851 had sent a fleet of
warships to Charleston and or
dered the United States to not in
terfere with the Secessionists?
The cases are absolutely parallel,
but you can't find a Republican
paper in Missouri, from the CD.
down, that has ever referred to the
iniquity of the later transaction or
denounced the crime against a sis
ter Republic. A nation, any more
than an individual, cannot do
wrong with impunity, and we
surely are piling up retribution for
ourselves and those who come af-
ter us. If it is not so, then justice
is dead and righteousness a re-
proach.

THE President in his message of
last week said;
81 have made no charges of cor
ruption against Congress nor
aginst any member of the present
House. If | had proof of such
corruption affecting any member
of the House in any matter as to
which the Federal Government
has jurisdiction, action would at
once be brought, as was done in
the cases of Senators Mitchell and
Burton, and Representatives Will
hanson, Hermann and briggs, at
different times since | have been
President. This would simply
be doing my duty in the execution
and enforcement of the laws with
out respect to persons
One may conjecture the satisfac-
ton with which Mr.. Roosevelt
makes this fling at Burton-coup-
ling his name with those of men
generally recognized as criminals.
He is such an unrelenting prose-
cutor that I have often wondered
what was the brand of grace that
sheltered Paul Morton? The Pres
ident's attitudes in the two cases
were in remarkable contrast: I'M
remitting and persistent p%rosecu-
ton for Burton and a portfolio for
Morton. That the former was
guilty of offense was not, in his
ultimate conviction, proven to
many men of great legal attain
ment-even of the court of last re-
sort-while there is no question
that the guilt or innocence of the
latter should have been judicially
established. AS the President
boasts himself in the one case, it
Y ould not seem out of place for
him to explain his action in the
other.

Who Is a Physician?

Who is your physicianP The
word physician comes from a
Greek word that means nature
"Phusis," Nature. He who does
not live according to Nature, study
Nature, treat his patients accord
ing to Nature, has no right or title
to be called physician. He who
cannot trace the natural history of
a disease back to its natural cause
has no business to interfere with
the processes of Nature.
This is the ideal and the defni-
ton of the word physician that
the Osteopathic Physician has be-
fore himself-that is why he calls
himself physician. He allows no
interference by unnatural means,
no alien concoctions administered
acc ording to a name given to the
disease; but instead studies the
body and traces back all lines of
effect and cause to further cause g,
and in his effort to cure follows
along the lines of first cause on to
further cause and effect. Natural
ly, much less heroic measures are
necessary for his work and more
simple means are effective. Nat
urally, too, the "Phusis" of the
body, mot insulted by experiments
with it, smiles upon this physician
and his work. Health.

BOARD HOLDS
 FIRST MEETING

Little Rock, Nov. 13-Four boards
 of the state agricultural schools, one | from each district, are here today to
 organize and begin planning for the 1 four great institutions which will per
 init the youth of the state to study farming, and up-to-date methods by
 which the old home farm can be made | into truck garden. Besides the members of the boards, Geo. A. Cole, president of the Farmers Union; J. F.
 Adams and II. S. Mobley, of the eX- perimental station, and Superintend- ent George E. Cook, and Governor G. W. Donaghey, are attending the meet ings. The boards will first meet and Iorganize separately, after which they will meet in joint session, with Gov
 ernor Donaghey presiding, for the purpose of formulating their plans for the institutions, the kind of building to be erected, the character of the land desired upon which to locate it, and what will be asked of each district in the way of bonus to get the schools. Governor Donaghey believes the diff
 ferent districts will put up sufficient
 amount to pay for the erection of the buildings, as well as donate the grounds. "I will favor each district
 demanding as much as POO acres of
 ground at least, and as much money as $40,000,' said Governor Donaghey
 this morning, "and if there is chance
 to get more, get that, too. l believe
 these schools can be erected without
 the cost of cent to the state, leaving
 considerable sum in the treasury
