Mark TWain's Letter.

The death of Mark Twain has called
to mind a letter which he once wrote
Speaker Cannon. and which Secretary
Busby has just pulled out of the files
in the Speakers office. 1t is so typica
of Twain that one can almost hear him
say 1t. When he had anything on his
mind he took it right close to his heart,
and he couldn't understand why it was
that the whole world didn't immediately
interest itself in what he wanted. The
letter is as follows:
Dear Uncle Joe: Please get me the
thanks of Congress-not next week, but
right away! 1t is very necessary Do
accomplish this for your affectionate
old friend-and right awayI By per-
suasion, if you can; by violence, if you

pictures of the last Great Indian Coun-

were taken in Dakota last year at great
Iexpense to Mr.. Wanamaker. and he as
sisted in getting the Indians together,
and doesn't believe that he will ever
see so many Indians together again.
The show was given by the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs, Robert Valen-
tinc,~at n private view in the New Will

the guests of honor. and Cabinet Off
GERS and their wives were there. The

and represented pure blood Indians.

characteristic of those in council ex-
pressly for the Indian Department that

Col. Cody said quite sadly of the In
dians:
Slowly, but surely, the white man is
encroaching upon the ground of the
Indians. The pictures show how an In
dian council was conducted 40 years
ago. / am the oldest representative
frontier man living. I think, and nat
urally am much interested in the IN
dian question.
You know, I suppose, that there
isn't monument on American soil in
honor of the American Indian, who at
one time owned every inch of land in
the United States. Rodman Wanamak-
er has interested himself in the Indian
cause, and he will see that monu-
ment, and an imposing one too, will
be erected in the near future in MEM

Col. Cody is now drawing a pension.
He says that he is not in need of the
money, but he is thinking of his grand

dren would be asked If he had drawn

Gen Miles Hurt.

Lieut-Gen. Nelson A. Miles, retired
was thrown from his horse about n
week ago while riding on the Speedway
in Potomac Park, falling upon his
shoulder and head. Gen. Miles, who is
now II years old, and Of rather heavy
build. fell so heavily that it was thought
at first that he had suffered concus-
sion of the brain. This proved to be
untrue, but the jar has made him very
sore. Gen. Miles was riding for the
first time a new horse which he had
just bought and was putting il thru

biles came up on both sides of the
horse, which was very fractious, and it
unexpectedly threw the General. OF
course, there was CONSERVATION every
where. and the General was picked up
almost unconscious and placed IN an
automobile and taken to his apartments
at the Rochambeau. President Taft
upon learning of the accident, sent one
of his Aids to inquire into his condi-
ton, and later the President and Mrs.
Taft sent a lot of beautiful flowers to
brighten his apartments.

we Have Done Wonders.

The Rev. Howard Agnew Johnston,
formerly of New York, but who has
been for the past two years in the Phil
ippines, is now at home on a vacation,
and declares that the work accom-
plished by the Americans in the Phil
lipines and thruOut Asia within the last
few years is little short of marvellous.
He says:
For years previous to the establish
ment of American missions in Asia and
the Philippines, Great Britain, Ger
many and France had been sending
out workers. Since the advent of the
first American missionaries, which took
place in the islands about 10 years ago,
the Americans have made greater prog
ress by far than their foreign prede-
ceSSOrs.
Regarding favorable sentiment in
the islands toward the American Gov
ernment, during my stay there, 1 was a
guest at dinner with, Don Philippe
Buen Canine, former Secretary of State
to the rebel Aguinaldo. This man Is
now an elder in the native presbyterian
Church. He informed me the majority
of conservative natives are strongly in
favor of the American occupation, and
realize they have attained the majority
of the ends the rebel Aguinaldo was
fighting for. Altho there are few
fanatics who entertain a dislike to the
new order of things, the main body of
well-thinking citizens are in sympathy
with the Government. The Chief of
Police of Manila told me that since the
United States Government has been in
charge of the islands affairs. the police
force has been greatly diminished. They
do want. however, O permanent system
Of government, similar to Hawaii. Bust
ness men of the islands state there arc
thousands of dollars lying uninvested.
merely because they have no certainty
that the mode of government will re-
main unchanged. In order to obtain
the best results the system of estab-
lished government must be uniform and
permanent"
