Here is a curious advertisement, re-
published in the Cornhill Magazine
from an eighteenth century paper:
"Wanted-For a family who have bad
health, a sober. steady person. in the
capacity Of a doctor. surgeon and
apothecary. He must occasionally act
in the capacity Of butler and dress hair
and wigs. He will be required to read
prayers occasionally and to preach a
sermon every Sunday. The reason of
this advertisement is that the family
cannot any longer afford the expense
Of the physical tribe and wish to be at

INDIANS HAVE BIC
BABY CROP
Colville Tribesmen Cut Out
All This Race Suicide
Tendency.

When the time arrives few years
hence for the opening of the Col
Vile Indian reservation, there Will
be little, if any, land left for white
settlement after the Indians have
received their allotments. The ex-
PLANTATION of the rapid increase in
the aborigine population is given by
Capt J. McA. Webster, superintend-
ent of several Indian reservations in
Washington.
Every Indian baby is entitled to
eighty acres of agricultural land, or
il the land in the reservation is not
agricultural, to $50 acres. This
right can not be alienated after the
child is registered, and in case of
his death, even though only a few
days old, the land which would be
allotted to the child goes to the par
ents as the heirs.
Bounty ON Children.
"One hundred and sixty acres of
land is a pretty good bounty to Of
fer for the production of children,
and the Indians on the unallotted
reservations are not slow in taking
advantage of it."

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Following a
custom that has become more gen
eral with each succeeding year, Chi
cago business concerns employing
large numbers of men and women
today distributed considerably more
than 100000 in Christmas pres
ents. Cash bonuses for faithful SER
vice, salary increases and shares of
stock constituted the bulk of the
gifts. The cash gifts distributed
among the thousands of employees or
the International Harvester company
amounted to 100000, while the APP
preparation of Armour and company
for the same purposes amounted to
about 100000. The large depart
ment stores, the banks and board of
trade firms were also liberal in
their gifts to their employees this

BARRIERS ARE NOT
WORRYING
Sale of Hundreds of Safety
Razors Does Not
Bother Them.

The fact that hundreds of safety
of Wenatchee this Christmas does
not worry the BARRIERS. On the other
hand, the statement is made that
they are glad of it, as it will permit
them to devote the time required for
shaving to the more remu1erative
branches of the tonsortal art.
Chicago BARRIERS recently formed
an organization to protect them
selves from safety razor users and
have agreed to charge the men who
shave themselves dollar when they
have their hair cut.
cit is a cinch to tell self shaver"
said a barber yesterday. He al
ways has bunch of scenery on the
bcak of his neck, where he can't get
to it to NOW it off,
THE safety razor doesn't affect
the barber business" said a Wenat-
chez avenue proprietor. The per
centage of haircuts without shaves
is no greater than it was ten years
ago. When 4 man who is accus-
toned to having a barber shave him
gets a safety razor he tries it out
two or three times and then goes
back to the luxury of the barber
chair. AS a matter Of fact, BARRIERS
are glad when man shaves him
self. They are able to make more
money in the same space of time by
giving messages. singes, shampoos,
etc. There is no prospect of Wenat-
chez BARRIERS following the lead of
the Chicago fraternity and trying to
graft On customers by overcharging
for cutting the hair of a self-shayer.

The government of the United
States did not intend primarily to
encourage the raising of children,
but the situation has developed as
the result of the general Indian
question. The Indians are to receive
their final allotments of land. In
most reservations in the country
these allotments have been made,
but the work still has to be done on
the ColviIle reservation.
Rate Much Increased.
Before the land on the Spokane
reservation was apportioned every
Indian that had any claim to mem
bership in the tribe moved his resi-
dence to the reservation, and Sc
cured his apportionment, and 1t was
noticed at the time that the rate
of childbirth had increased greatly
AS soon as it was announced that
the allotments were to be made on
the Colyille reservation the same
conditions were observed.
There is this difference, however,
according to Capt. Webster. The
opening of the Colville reservation
is going to be delayed several years
and consequently there are apt to
be hundreds of new papooses born,
each of which will be a landowner
in its own right.
Girls Attractive.
Capt. Webster says that the In
dian girls look very attractive to
many of the young ranchmen, and
many of them are joining in matri-
mony and in the fight against race
suicide.
In the Colville reservation are
about 100000 acres of land
If the land were all apportioned
at this time about 100000 acres of
the best acreage would be given to
natives. Registration of Indian
children may go on until such time
as the allotments are made and with
a continuation of the present birth
rate 1t won't take long before there
will be so many Indians that they
will be able to take all Of the good
land on the reservation, and the
opening of the reservation will be
Of no particular value to white home
seekers.

Christmas at the White House.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 22.-With
all the members of the Presidents
family at home for the holidays, it
promises to be very merry Christ
mas indeed at the White House. A
number of intimate friends, includ-
ing several young people, have been
invited to help in making the day
one of mirth and jollity. The day
will bring many happy surprises to
the various members of the Taft
household, to judge from the almost
continuous stream of express wag-
ons and delivery boys that have been
leaving parcels and packages at the
executive mansion for several DAYS
past.
Tarrytown, n. Y, Dec. 22.-The
most envied of all the little girls
and boys of Tarrytown today are
those whose names are enrolled as
members of the Sunday school of
the First Baptist church. The
church is the one that John D.
Rockefeller and his family attend
during their residence in Tarrytown
and the word has gone forth that
the oil magnate will remember all
the Sabbath school pupils with
Christmas stockings filled with
goodies, which he believes will be
more acceptable, if not more bene-
fetal, than the customary gifts of
copies Of Pilgrim S Progress.
