In Praise of the Eskimos.

Commander Peary in the narrative
describing his discovery of the north
pole devotes a very long chapter to
the ESkimos. with whom he has had
intimate dealings for eighteen years.
He tells US that though they are saw
ages they are not savage; that though
they are without government they are
not lawless; that though they are un-
educated they exhibit a remarkable
degree of intelligence. He assures us
that they have no religion. yet he
describes them as destitute of vice and
ready TO share their last meal with the
hungry. He thinks it would be impos-
sible to Christianize them, but they al
ready possess the cardinal graces of
faith. hope and charity, for without
them they could never survive the sig
months night and the other rigors Of
their home"

4 4 Abel bel Sta ford SSr one Of the
pioneers in this part Of the county,
died at his home in this city last
Monday morning, death resulting
from stomach trouble. Funeral
service was held in the M. 3.
church Wednesday afternoon, con-
Quoted by Rev. G. E. Wilcox.
Abel Stafford, son OF john and
Rebecca Stafford was born May s..
1848 at Port Elgin, Bruce county
Ontario. In the spring Of 1873, he
came with his parents, brothers
and sisters, ten in number, to
Dakota Territory taking home
steads near where the city Of Scot
land now stands and including
some OF the present town site.
John Stafford, the father, started
the first store in Scotland, which
was located in the valley east of
the present city near the hotel u
by Gen. Campbell, the hotel build
ing being the present residence Of
Mr.. John Becker. Later the store
was moved to the present site of
Scotland but which at that time
was a wheat field, most of which
belonged to Abel Stafford and his
father. During the early days the
nearest railroad was at Yankton
and Scotland was located on a
stage line running from Yankton
to Fire steel, the present city of
Mitchell. During all this time Mr.
Stafford has lived on his original
homestead at the east edge of town
and has seen the wheat field re-
placed by brick blocks, and hand
some residences, has seen the old
stage line replaced by two lines of
railroad, the COW paths replaced
by we'll graded streets and cement
sidewalks, communication es-
tablished by telephone lines, con-
Meeting not only che homes in the
city but extending for miles In all
directions, electric lights lighting
the streets and homes,-a trans
formation marvellous within the
memory of an individual.
MIR. Stafford was twice married
and was the father of seven child
rem. The last wife and six child
rem still survive him. He also
leaves one brother, Adam Stafford,
and two sisters, Mrs. Beccie Rice
and Mrs. Sis Currey.

How "Thon" Would Work.

"Thon" is the word which has been
suggested for use as an English pro
noun of common gender, a luxury
which the English language has thus
far rad the forfitude to forego. 1t was
considered suitable for English be-
cause it came from the Greek. Its use
may be Illustrated as follows:
lf a parent desires to spank hons
this or her. as the case may be, child
thon The or she) should take thon (him,
her or it, across thon's knee. Then
thon should remove th2n's slipper, and
after explaining TO the child the repre-.
feasibility of thon's conduct thon
should apply the slipper to that por.
ton of thon's anatomy which from
time immemorial has beer dedicated to
that purpose.
1t may easily be seen from the above

No Law Giving Croatans Any
Bounty in Lands OF Money.

Washington Special, 18th. to Charlotte Observer.
The Croatan Indian is taking
an active part in the congress
sional campaign in the sixth dis
trict. He is being told, it is said,
that the government owes him
something by an act of Congress
of 1906. When asked concerning
this the Indian commissionerhere
said that there was no law CIV
ing the Croatans any bounty in
lands or money, the nearest ap-
proach being special act for
Cherokees, now out of date,
which did not include the Croa-
tans and would not have done so
even If their name had been
changed.
Those who keep up with such
things here do not believe that
the Croatan will ever get rake
off of any kind from the govern
ment. He will get just what
other good Robson county citi-
zens are entitled to and no more,
is the way Indian affairs experts
put it.
