KICK! KICk!! KICk!.,

All over the United States. the
Irish are making fight against the
comic post cards in connection with
st. Patrick's day. The Ancient Orde,
of Hibernians have petitioned the
Postmaster General to prevent the
Objectionable matter from going
through the mails.
The Irish are right. There is M
reason on earth why these scurrilous
cards which reflect upon the Irish
people should be transported in the
united States mails. All honor to
people who so vigorously protested
against the insults offered to their
race
Thls matter of Objectionable post
cards ought to be looked into bv the
Afro-Americans, for there are now in
circulation many hideous caricatures
OF race. Somebody ought to take
hold of the matter and make some
noise about it. No wrongs are ever

GUN CLUB CHECKS AGAIN
Smart Black and White Suitings to Be

Our old-time friends, the English
gun club checks are still, or once

These checks, which are, by the
way, very British looking, are most
serviceable indeed. They tailor spen.

INDIAN I GIRLS RISE
She's Now a Claim Adjuster at
Washington.
Unique Life History Of Mrs. Mary
l. Baldwin, the Granddaughter
Of Prominent Chip
- peWa Chief.

Wash1ngton.-Fro life of hard
ship and danger among the Indian
tribes of South Dakota to the position
OF adjuster of claims in the Office of
indian affairs of the department OF
tne interior is the unique life history
OF MIS-. Mary L. Baldwin, granddaugh-
ter OF chief of the Chippewa In
d1ans, and relative of many of the ia
nous Indian warriors of the west.
Until she was fourteen years of age
Mrs. Baldwin slept only in an Indian
tepee or in the open air. Now she ad-
Justs claims between members of her
race and the United States govern
ment.
Many times when she was a girl
she saw members of her family shot
and scalped, and one of her most vivid
memories Is of seeing her own broth
er tortured and slowly cut to pieces
before her eyes. From the shelter of
SAND pits she, in company with other
women and girls of her tribe, often
watched their braves fight Indians of
other tribes and soldiers of the United
States.
Among her relatives and other mem
bers OF the Turtle mountain band Of
the Ch1ppewas Mrs. Baldwin used to
be known for her fearless disregard
OF danger and her wonderful activity
In riding horses and shooting wild
game. She still shoots, both with the
rifle and bow and arrow, and rides
whenever possible. Often, when she
lived with her people, she went hunt
ing alone, and seldom failed to return
with her hunting bag nlled with game.
In 1864 Mrs. Baldwin was living
with her father, John Bottineu, at St.
Joseph, N. D., then a small trading
post At that time the Ch1ppewas and
the Sioux were at war. One day a
party of seven Sioux came to the post.
They were warned to leave at once
by Botineu, but insisted on staying
until blizzard which was raging

The French Woman,

This is the moment when the
French woman looks to her visiting
toilet with more care, perhaps, than
at any other period of the year
She is particularly careful to the we'll
dressed when she makes family calls
and receives her family in her own
home. There is nothing of the negli-
gee about a home gathering of French
people; quite the contrary, for decor
um is taught from infancy regarding
this important function of home gath
ering. The French woman places a.
higher value on a compliment for her
toilet from one of her own family
than from stranger. She will dress
in her best to please her husband, who
understands dress.

Senator Lorimer's speech was so

The wording of the press dispatch
from V1cksburg, Mississippi, relative
to the case OF a Caucasian woman,
who was awarded $15, 1000 damages for
being placed in Pullman car with
three Afro-American bishops as fell
low passengers, is significant. This
paragraph occurs:
Among Negroes of this state there
is little interest in the verdict, for
Southern Negroes do not force them
selves into sleeping cars or in other
ways lntrude on white passengers,
when there is that sort of trouble
down here it is generally some Negro
from the North who, is the cause of
it,"
1t is very creditable to the Afro
Americans OF the North that some of
them start trouble when their RIGHTS
are lntrlnged upon. If the paragraph
is a correct statement of the indif-
ference OF the Southern Afro-Ameri-
cans, they deserve to be jimcrowed
and have no right to- expect any svm-
pathy from their Northern brethren.
