PoOrOfd Bob

Poor Bob is undoubtly dead. Refer
ance is made to the white bulldog OF Ed
ward Sipp. A month has passed since
he left the home of his master where
he had plenty to eat and warm place to
sleep, Bob" was good dog and popular
and only had one fault: He did not like
cats. His aversion to them was so strong
that he could not resist the impulse to
kill them when he had the opportunity.
He no doubt was overtaken by bullet
while engaged in his pastime Of shaking
the life out of some feline pet and is now
numbered with the absent but not for
gotten if ever unmOurned for. He was a
friendly dog and knew his place, but he
did hate cats and could not overcome the
antipathy and he never tried, if he was
to be Judged by his acts.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Nine billion
dollars worth of agricultural pro-
ducts have been exported from the
United States during the last ten
years, those exported in the fiscal
year 1909 having alone amounted to
practically 900 million dollars against
less than 500 million in 1899. The
exports of agricultural products as a
whole have increased from 1855 mil
lion dollars in 1899 to SOS million in
1909, the highest record having been
made in 1907, when the total exceed
ed one billion dollars, or, to be exact,
1913 million. Most of the staple
farm products used for food, such as
breadstuffs meats, and live cattle,
show decreased expectations during
the period, the loss in that line of
articles having been more than Offset

There is great need for deter
mined and systematic effort to teach
the Indians those industries best suit
ed to their localities and to their
abilities. An Industrial corps similar
in its administrative features to- the
medical corps, above outlined, should
be established, with headquarters in
the field, with view to the indus

and female, and whose duty it should
be to educate the Indian in such in
dustries, that they might become self
respecting and self-supporting."
The commissioner also wants the
Iallottees of Indian lands secured in
the matter of payments made to the
treasury on account of the sale, cut
ting or removal of timber to their
lands. He declares that the Indians
have incurred long delays and loss of
money heretofore in Instances of this
