BALK AT SPORTY INDIANS.
McCumber and Hepburn Oppose Ed
ucating Them I'm Football.


The education OF the Indian at gov
eminent institutions, such as Carlisle.
where the development Of modern 10
along sporting lines is featured. was
criticised by Senator McCumber, of North
Dakota, in the Senate yesterday, while
the Indian appropriation bill was under
consideration.
The Senator said that the Indian didn't
care much about schools, and that when
he does attend them, It is more with the
idea Of becoming a champion football
player or q musician than deriving an
education, and becoming q force in the
development and education OF his peo-
pie.
Senator Hepburn favored the little red
schoolhouse for the education of the In
dian. When they leave home to attend
school. he said, they return as dudes. -

ENGLISH BEAUTY CUP.
Weak Tea Invites Sleep and Improves
the Complexion.

! advise those who consult me
upon the tired complexion to in
dulge in what is called the English
beauty cup. Mr.. Gladstone took il
each night of his life as long as he
had health, and it is the cup which
keeps many an English beauty GO
ing. 1t is simply tea, but tea made
without the nerve destroying at
tributes. If properly made tin
vites sleep.
You take half a small coffee
spoon of tea, and YOU scatter it in
the bottom Of a very large cup.
The German coffee cups are best
for this purpose. Over this you
pour as much boiling, bubbling wa
ter as the cup viii hold.
The saucer is placed on the top
Of the cup in Chinese fashion. Now
comes the big wadded tea cozy,
which must be thrown over all. II
is an oddly shaped coy, made TO
cover cup and saucer. 1t stands for
five minutes 10 steep.
Now comes the scientific part OF
the cup. You take three very thin
slices of lemon, and you lay them
in a big hot cup. On top of the
slices of lemon you place a big
maraschino, and then on top OF all
Won pour in the tea. putting il
through a strainer.
The result will be a fine, weak,
hot, but healthful cup of tea with
just the right flavor Of lemon. You
can have sugar If you want it, and
Gladstone's rule Of three big Jumps
will do YOU no harm. for sugar is a
great builder up Of the muscles.
By the way, if you are tagged out,
dav or night, try eating a little
sugar. 4 lump Of sugar will re-
store the stomach and take away
that tired feeling. Sugar is recon-
mended to women whose cheeks are
hollow. 1t has a way of building up
tissue.
A big cup Of tea at night is ex-
celent, but the trouble is that most
persons make it too strong. The
weaker the better. The same is true
of coffee, which. if taken weak
enough and with plenty Of good
sugar, acts as a nightcap. Not one
person in a thousand can make IT
right. In Paris tie French beauty
takes her foaming cup Of whipped
chocolate after the theater with q
biscuit, or she sips her cafe au lait,
which is mostly milk. = London

A Wise School Board.

Miss Elizabeth J. Tracy, a teacher in
public school No 50, in New York City,
has been suspended. The board OF educa-
ton decided on this drastic act when Miss
Tracy no longer put in her appearance
al the schoolroom TO teach her classes.
The board of education decided some
punishment was due TO a teacher who
thus failed in her official duties, She
was absent from her schoolroom. and
that was sufficient. The board did not
concern itself as TO the cause.
The fact that Miss Tracy was dead did
not enter into consideration. She was
not attending to her duties and she merit
ed suspension. The charge on the minutes
of the board read. Suspended for neglect
OF duty"
Probably by the time the various mem
bers Of the board have been driven to
cover scores Of times by their facetious
friends they will regret having suspended
a teacher who had been dead for several
months. Next time they WILL no doubt.
investigate the cause Of the teachers

Facts About HrpnotI.m.

From the Wom8n's Home Companion.
No competent exponent of hypnotism
to-day believes that person IS inevitably
obliged to execute all hypnotic commands
given him. And while some still cling to
the idea that hypnotic crimes are posi-
bic, the consensus Of scientific opinion is
that no person who would not in his nor
NAL state perpetrate the crime suggested
would perpetrate it II hypnotlzed.
It is equally certain. though. that under
hypnotic influence people are liable TO ac-
cuse themselves OF crimes they have not
committed. This is a real danger which
ought 10 be carefully guarded against in
courts OF justice. There is reason to be-
lieve that many police confessions" ex-
torted from accused persons by the proc
esses Of the so-called third degree" and
afterward found to be untrue are made

their pitiless insistence that "he Is guilty
and knows he is guilty" may develop in

which, as has already been said, he may
become spontaneously hypnotized by an
unexpected noise or the sudden flashing
OF a light.

Insurgent Indiana and Taft.

President Tafts cancellation of hts
tentative acceptance of an invitation TO
speak at Indianapolis Is not in the least
mystifying. It is as clear as the noon
day sun. How could he do otherwise
unless no wished TO make confusion more
COMPOUNDED in the Hoosier State?
Call it insurgency, progressiveness, or
what you will. Indiana is at odds with
the administration. The fact is uncon-
cealed. Tuesdays convention did not dis
semble. Its Endorsement Of Taft is mean
ingless. It deliberately. even enthusiastic
ally. chose 10 follow Beverage, whose
course on the tariff it cordially approves.
His slogan rings with denunciation OF
what has been done and not done at
Washington. His attack upon the Demo-
cratic party but serves TO cloak a savage
arraignment OF his own.
Beveridge is the issue. He condemns
the tariff. Taft commends it. There is
an unbridgabie chasm between them. po-
lltically. A situation is precipitated in

ageous, aggressive personality can en-
compass success-and this now over
shadows all else.

Poe and the Hall of Fame.

From the New York Tribune
The interesting expectation is expressed

The Combat Deepens.
Says the Chicago Post

Says the Chicago Post:
1T Is sad. OF course. that the wives of
insurgents are being snubbed by the
wives Of the regulars in society circles at
Washington"
If It's true. it's pity; and pity tits. It's
well. 1t is alleged
Neither affirming nor denying, let US
view the situation from the standpoint

may give as the shudders. We shall be
able 10 stand 1t for the moment, mayhap.
Like many another thing we would touch
gingerly. If at all. the topic grimly fasci-
mates, anyway.
The prospect of being snubbed by the
elect in Congressional society around and
about this burg seems a frightful fate to
contemplate. The person who faces it
must have a steady nerve and be calmly
willing TO accept a martyrs crown If
necessary. and that on short notice and
minus any fraction of glitter and shine.
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding. the
bold one may be sure of an audience-an
audience. too, capable Of evincing vo-
ciferous applause IL the spirit should so
move it. And applause means advertis-
ing. and advertising means-sometimes
advertising forecasts revolution!
What we should like to know, really. is
who started this snubbing business. II it
came about as the Chicago Post points
out, we think the "insurgent' end of the
impending feud has the better Of the
argument as at present progressed. The
snub-the plain. unvarnished snub-more
generally than not is a sign Of weakness.
It indicates a lack OF confidence and
doubt as to strategicaI status. Not infre-
quently the snub. Ike the boomerang,
fails TO land on the object at which it was
aimed. but returns to knock the snubber
galley west, or into the middle of next
week-or whatever it is that boomerangs
actually do when they behave after that
fashion. If, therefore the '1nsurgent'
snubees (or snubesses?) were not the pre-
cipitating forces in the crisis now upon
them. so much the moro probable that

Having been born in Ireland in 1745, he
took to sea at the early age of fifteen.
He served on a trading vessel which fire.
