Indian Census.

A difficult task was apprehended in
taking the Indian census; but the
results revealed it to be far less so
than was at first foreseen, despite
the placing OF an extra task upon
the special agents-that of obtaining
tribal data These will be probably
the last to be taken, since a decade
hence there will probably remain no
Indians who are not citizens instead
OF dependent wards of the national
government AS had been calculated
from observation, the returns show
a decrease in number in the decade
ended in 1900. That decrease is from
273,607 to 266 ,760, or 2.5 per cent.
But in 1880 the care of the Indians
cost the government $5,206 ,109; in
1909 that cost had increased more
than three times, to s15,724,1 1852.
More important is the evidence
presented as to advancement In in
dustry and education. The total at
tendance of Indian children in
schools. both under government and
missionary management, IS 25,777. 1t
is an interesting feature of these
schools that special effort is made
to the teach the Indian child some
specific industry by which he may
hope to win self-support. Thus, in
Michigan the cultivation Of the suga
beet is taught, and in California n
chief subject of instruction is fruit
growing, pclling and packing. is
well to be assured also that there
is inculcated the theory of self-re-
| spect of labor and of the disgrace Of
idleness. A noteworthy example OF
81 h labor is that performed by
! Apaches upon reclamation projects.
at which they earned $4,000 in 1909
Nor service in a climate where It
would have been difficult, if not i'm
possible for white men to endure the
requisite physical strain. Navajos
and Pueblos have made creditab'c
records at sheep herding, and rail
way construction has employed a
goodly number of Indians along the
route of the Southern Pacific

Making Appropriate Gifts.

The year just closing has been so
prosperous that the spirit of philan
thropy will find very large expression in
the giving of Christmas cheer at home
and abroad, writes Cyrus P. Jones in
Success. The transatlantic mails are
already burdened with the money let
ters sent from America to "the old
folks at home"
Next to the gifts which brighten the
home Of the American citizen, those
given to worthy charity are important
to consider. Too many people give In
Discriminatory. They mean well, but
so did the committee which sent
$4,000 worth Of fireworks to the Irish
famine sufferers.
Still others give something Of no
value whatever. An instance Of this
was made manifest at a public gath
ering in New York, where one Of the
speakers called attention to the suffer
ers from a prolonged strike and sug-
gested the advisability of giving them
something One in the sympathetic au-
dience got up and said, Il move that
we give them three cheersw Let us Sc
lect our gifts with reference to their
appropriateness and utility.

for summer travel, especially when

question. The small bottles with GRO

some women have given their friends

Hunts men, supposing that the three
Of us must have been killed, beat a
retreat and made good their escape,

tured. At first the Confederates were
for wreaking vengeance on Hunt for
the death Of a favorite officer, but the
gallantry he displayed and his per
feet coolness while in their power
finally won their regard. When asked
to give his parole he refused, saying:

CHRISTMAS CARDS FATHER
British Artist Originated This Form Of
Greeting In 1874.


Some day surely a grateful monu
ment VIII be erected to the memory OF
w. A. Dobson, the parent OF the Christ
mas card, for he was true herald OF
peace and good will to the world and
no small benefactor TO commerce, says
a writer in Tit-Bits.
In 1914 Mr.. Dobson, who later be-
came a famous member OF the Royal
academy, was a young man earning a
modest income as master OF the gov
ernment School Of Design at Blrming-
ham. One evening in December In
stead of writing his usual letter OF
Christmas good wishes to a friend It
occurred to him to substitute a pic
torial greeting, and, taking a piece Of
card about twice as large as a modern
postcard, he began to draw on It. In
the center Of the three panels into
which be divided his design he sketch
ed a family group raising glasses TO
the health of distant friends amid a
seasonable environment Of holly and
mistletoe, while on each side Of this
festal scene he drew a picture OF a
deed Of charity.
This card Mr.. Dobson dispatched to
his friend, giving 1t no further thought
The friend, however, was delighted
with his novel and artistic Christmas
greeting and showed It everywhere
proudly, to the equal admiration Of his
acquaintances. Everybody begged for
a similar card, and in the following
December the amiable Mr.. Dobson
etched another design and this time
had It Autographed and sent out cop
ies by the score In the following
year he had several imitators, and the
Christmas card was at last launched
on the tide of popular favor, although
even then If Mr.. Dobson had been told
that his modest card Of 1874 would
have 100000 descendants sixty-fve
years later In Great Britain alone he
would probably have thrown up his
bands in amazement and incred1lIty.
