WASHINGTON, Aug 10-The fire
conditions in the national forests have
improved. A telegram received today

soula, Mont, in whose jurisdiction the
situation has been most serious, re-
ported that all the fires in his territory
were now under control except those

Does honesty in politics pay? 1t
does, in Canada.
Look what has happened to w.
3. Fielding, next to Sir Wilfrid
Laurier the biggest man in the
liberal party in the dominian.
What happened to him? Oh, moth
ing-only the presentation of a
purse of $4,000, made up by mem
bers of the party who think he is
splendid.
Nothing approaching the maeni-
tude of this popular testimonial has
been seen on this continent since
the presentation of house and lot
to Admiral Dewey. And the Cana
dian personage's achievements
were in peace, not war, making the
gift the more noteworthy in that
it was made in cold blood.
For the last fourteen years Field
ing has been minister of finance OF
the Dominion. He has always been
a modest, untiring worker, and is
one of the men who have not be-
come rich in public life in Canada.
He need not fear the wolf at the
door now.
Fielding is a Nova Scotia news.
paperman. BY merit he worked
himself up to the head of the gov
eminent of his province. Premier
Laurier claimed him for the cabi.
net, where he has rendered con-
spicuous service not alone to his
party, but to the whole country,
and has become known as much for
his integrity as for his ability.

stand the Indian language she was
excluded from the conversation.
However, the mystery was solved
in few days when the Indian girl
came back to the house with her
hair rolled over a rat, or something
which served the purpose and
coiled up. on top of her head.
Jewelry seems to be their hobby
and rarely If ever you will see a
squaw without earrings and they
delight in bedecking themselves
with all kinds of cheap rings and
bracelets.
One evening a party Of white
people strolled over to the camps.
The air was still and quiet and
the clouds of dusk were gathering.
AS we approached a tent We heard
strains of weird Indian music. We
listened a moment and then moved
toward the entrance and peered in.
Three Indians were stretched out
on blankets on the floor, evidently
taking life easy, while in one cor
ner on an old box, the only stick
of furniture in the tent, sat Bill,
an old Indian playing on fiddle.
He smiled at us through the
twilight and then began playing
Red Wing" Although he made
several mistakes, by which you
could tell he was playing by ear,
it seemed that Red Wing" was
never so realistic before and when
we applauded him he semed de-
lighted and he started to play Let
the Women Do the Work." When
asked where he learned the tune.
he said, "Oh, l caught it down on
the river"
With a "so-long, come again."

These are the reservations, thickly

women of the nearby settlements.
The Indians will meet the squaws
at the close Of day and go with
them to the commissary to buy
their evening meal.
If you visit a camp at meal time
you will find them, sometimes eight
or 10, in one wigwam, seated on
the ground with their dinner
spread on a blanket. One notice

dren and 4 years of age were

The more educated class Of In
dams are anxious to learn to cook
some of the dishes prepared by
the white people.
One day young squaw, Is years
of age. who had been a student at
the mission five years. came to
wash for one of the ladies at the
settlement and when she was left
alone in the kitchen she took down
a cook book from a shelf. When
the woman returned she found the
young squaw copying recipes.
Although the squaws are loath
to part with their shawls and
bright red handkerchiefs they seem
to have an instinct of vanity, and
although they are ridiculed for
wearing beads on their shoes, those
concentrations being reserved for
the bucks, they try to follow the
fashions of the pale faced women.
Another day, when this young
Indian girl came to wash at one of
the homes she brought a friend
along. The girls giggled and chat

fun. The white woman was con-
scious that they were talking about

officer whose star was removed
because of his connection with the
GilderElliott scandal, has placed
in circulation petition among the
business people of East Sprague

board of police commissioners to

that the imprisoned ex-policeman
is a very bad man, and that had

In view Of the fact Of the APP

welt, the insurgents have been anx-
iously watching, TO see II they will
be able to gather any encouragement
from his attitude towards the pres
emit administration, and have carried
their Investigations so far as to ex-
anime his record, hoping to find
that his we'll known tendency towards
an independent attitude, might have
carried him to the point Of active
opposition to the party's nominees,
but in this search they have been
disappointed, and have only estab-
lished the fact, that however strenu-
ously he may have opposed certain
candidates, he has always supported
the party's choice. He was opposed
to the nomination Of Jas. O.; Blaine,
and so vigorously that he was expect
ed to keep up the fight after the
convention, but this IS what he said,
II intend to vote the Republican pres
ldential ticket. A man cannot act
both without and within the party.
He can do either, but he cannot pos
sibly do both. 1t is impossible to
combine the functions of guerrilla

able to make what action he does take

to believe that people in those old
days found more attentive audiences
for bad news than for good news.
Bad news is usually sensational.
while good news Is the reverse. (.
About million years ago, more
or less, the Wild dogs that infested
this earth used to sleep in the tall
grass, to be hidden from their en-
emies. They turned around several
times, before lying down to fIatten
the grass into bed And to this
day the dog turns around several
times before 1t lies down, although
1t doesn't know why. 1t has not out
grown the custom of Its forefathers.
1t may take a million years, more or
less to outgrow the news-bearing
custom Of our ancestors, but there Is
no law against trying to hasten the
day OF emancipation. Every time
you find yourself telling a story to-
the injury Of somebody else, take
your tongue firmly between your
teeth and hold 1t there. or else think
up something pleasant and credit
able concerning the person you were
going to malign, and say that in
stead.

HOW LONG CAN SHE BE FOOLED?

What is the longest time that any
man ever fooled a woman? You will
answer that some men fool their
wives all their lives, but we doubt it.
The Topeka boy who fooled his moth
er six months seems from our expe-
rience, to have made good deal of
record. Women may claim to be
fooled, for policy's sake, but they IRE
not fooled as badly, or as long, as
they let on. This Topeka woman
was really fooled, and fooled badly,
for six months. Last September her
son went to her and said he was
troubled with an ambition. He
wanted to go to the state university
and become a man, and be able some
day to support her. She is a widow,
and he is her only child, and she
raked and seraped the means, and
sent him to Lawrence. He wrote
regularly about his room and his
studies, and she regularly raked and
scraped to find the means. He came
home for the Thanksgiving holiday
and again for Christmas. Last
week this fond Topeka mother de-
clded that It was her duty to visit
her son at Lawrence, and see his
room. No doubt she could hang his
pictures little more artistieally, put
cushions here and there, and make
bis dsar room look like home. She
went to Lawrence to surprise him,
found that he had never been there,
was not a student. and no one knew
about him. She Investigated further
and made the discovery that he was
living in Kansas City, having . good
time on the money she was ucraping
