INDIAN GIRLS R!sE
She's Now a Claim AdjHster al
Washington.
Unique Life History Of Mrs. Mary
L. Baldwin, the Granddaughter
Of q Prominent Chip
pswA Chief.

Washington.-From q 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
the interior is the unique life history
of Mrs. Mary L. Baldwin. granddaugh-
ter of chief of the Chippewa In
dians. 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 men,
bers of the Turtle mountain band OF
the Chippewas 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 fllled with game.
In 1854 Mrs. Baldwin was living
with her father, John Bottineu, at st.
Joseph. N. D.. then a small trading
post. At that time the Chippewas and
the Sioux were at war. One day
party OF seven Sioux came to the post.
They were warned to leave at once
by Botineu. but insisted on staying
until a blizzard which was raging

San Francisco.-Two regiments of
infantry, the Thirtieth from the Pre-
sidio here under Colonel Charles T.
Chubb. and the Eighth, from Mon
terey, commanded by Colonel Charles
Mason, have been ordered to the
Mexican border. The troops are max
ing hasty preparations to leave on
special trains for San Diego.
Nothing could be learned here as to
the reason for the order. but 1t is be-
lisyed to be the result of General
Bliss recent tour of investigation
along the border. That the order was
unexpected and surprise was ad-
mitted by number of officers.
1t was said that General Bliss will
personally accompany the troops, bu.
this could not be confirmed.
Salt Lake.-The Fifteenth infantry
has received orders to leave Fort
Douglas for Fort Sam Houston, Tex.
Atlanta, Ga.-Orders have been is
sued for the Seventeenth United

POLITICAL.

President Taft's immediate call LOT
an extra session of Congress In April
puts new face on the reciprocity
situation and may, in the opinion OF
some of the opponents. as well as the
champions of the proposed agree
ment, save the cause in Canada from
any peril 1t may have incurred by the
failure Of the United States Senate to
indorse the plan. 1t Is generally con-
ceded that If reciprocity session of
Congress had not been summoned and
ratification had been left to the ses-
sion next fall. the Canadian advocates
of the plan might have been dis
heartened and probably parliament
would follow the example of Congress.

HONEST CONFESSION
A DoctoTs Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set OF men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
admission Of the fact.
A case in point is that OF practi-
toner. one Of the good old school, who
lives in Texas. His plain, unvarnished
tale needs no dressing up:
IT had always had an intense preju-
dice. which can now see was unwar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence,
never read line of the many ads of
Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.
while in Corpus Christi for my
health. and visiting my youngest son.
who has four Of the ruddiest. healthi-
est little boys ever saw. ate my
first dish of Grape-Nuts food for sup
per with my little grandsons.
II became exceedingly fond of It
and have eaten a package of 1t every
week since, and find 1t delicious. re-
freshing and Strengthening food, leav-
ing no Ill effects whatever, causing no
eructations with which 1 was for
merly much troubled. no sense OF
fullness, nausea, nor distress of stom-
ach In any way.
There Is no other food that agrees
with me SO well, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does.
IT am stronger and more active
since I began the use OF Grape-Nuts
than have been for 10 years, and
am no longer troubled with nausea

A Woman's Letter.

Women. 1t is generally admitted.
write better letters than men.
M. Marcel Provost has discovered
the reason for this superiority. THE
obvious meaning is never the one we
should read into a woman's letter.
There is always a yelled meaning.
Woman makes use of letter Just
~ she employs q glance or a smile.
In a way that is carefully thought out.
and with an eye to effect. And, after
all, does a woman's hat serve to cover
her head? Does woman's parasol
keep on the sun? Why, then. should
a woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person ad-
dressed. Just like the letters of some
honest grocer, who writes. I send you
five pounds Of coffee because he
really does send you five pounds Of
coffee"

abated. Bottineu tried his best to pre-
serve peace, but early one morning
he and his daughter heard shooting.
They found the Sioux massacred and
their scalps gone.
At the time OF his death her brother
was carrying mail for the United
by a rowing band Of Sioux and told
to prepare for death. The camp of
the Chippawas was not far away, and
the Sioux carried the young brave
near the camp Of the enemy, and
there slowly cut him to pieces while
his relatives looked on.
Mrs. Baldwin's mother was pure
Chippewa Indian and her father a
French Hueguenot. Her grandfather
formerly lived at Osseo. N. D., and led
the famous Clark expedition through
the wilds of the northwest. He also
served as scout for. many excursions
for government troops. He was one of
the most famous chiefs Of the tribe.
Her father later moved to Minneapo-
lis. where he was made judge advo-
cate. He is now attorney In Washing
ton for the Turtle Mountain band OF
the Chippewas.
II can remember vividly many OF
the battles and hunting trips which
took place while lived with my
tribe" says Mrs. Baldwin. "Of course
1 was rather young when the worst
fighting took place, but even as late
as 1854 there were many terrible
lights. Whenever our tribe was at
tackled we girls and women were hid
don In sandhills until the fighting was
over. but we never lost chance to
watch the battle when possible.
In our language my name Is N-Dan-
Sis, meaning the daughter OF chief"
she continued. II like the life Of civil
lization, but there are times when 1
long to return to the life l used to
live went to school in Minneapolis
and to st. Joseph's academy at st.
Paul. 1 am what one would call an
educated Indian. l guess. But even
though l am educated, like to get
back with my people and speak to
them in our native language. When
die my body will be buried there"
Mrs. Baldwin protested against the
headdress so often shown on Indian
women in pictures and paintings dis
played in the east. She said that few
Indian women wear any Of the gaudy
feathers and beads shown in these
pictures.

THE COMMITTEE.
ON RULES
ROBERT L. HENRY OF WACO,
TEXAS, WILL PROBABLY BE
CHAIRMAN.
SHAPE PARTY POLICY
SEVEN DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS
ARE sELEcTED-FouRR REPUs-
LicANs NAMED LATER.

Washington.-The rules committee
one of the most powerful of the House
committee of the Sixty-second Con
gress, with Representative Robert L.
Henry of Waco, Texas, at its head
was formally selected by the new
house ways and means committee al
its first meeting.
The ways and means committee
which is charged under caucus dictum
with the function of selecting the com
mittees, is not empowered to name
the chairman, b+At it recommended to
the new rules committee that it elect
Mr.. Henry as chairman, which is
tantamount to designation at this time
The following were announced as
the seven Democratic members:
Robert Lee. Henry, Texas; Edward w
Pou. Smithfield. N. c.; Thomas w
Hardwick. Sandersville, Ca; Augustus
o. Stanley. Henderson, KY; Finis j.
Garrett, Dresden, Tenn; Martin D.
Foster. Olney. ILL.,. and Matthew R.
Denver, Wilmington. Ohio.
The committee will consist of eleven
members. The four Republicans will
be chosen by the Republicans later
along with the other Republican per.
sonnel of committees of the new
house.
The members were named in order
of their seniority of service. Mr.
Hardwick and Mr.. Stanley had served
in Congress the same period and the
service of Messrs. Foster and Den.
yer has been identical, and to choose
the priority OF rank OF these, in each
case, the members of the ways and
means committee drew lots, resulting
in the order given.
There was some discussion of the
programme of tariff revision, but the
committee is deliberating carefully
over that. which is the greatest task
before it. The committee expects to
report its programme to Congress
soon after April 4th.
The Democratic members realize
there is considerable difference of
opinion among their party associates
in the House as to the methods of
revising the tariff, some favoring
wholesale work on the bill, and others
wanting to amend it schedule by
schedule, in accordance with the views
of leaders like Clark and Underwood.
There is no conclusion as to wheth-
er the schedules are to be tackled to
the Canadian reciprocity bill. but the
bill itself will carry out the terms OF
the agreement III good faith.

WASHINGTON.

President Taft nominated William
H. Lewis Of Boston. negro. to be an
assistant attorney general of the De-
partment of Justice.
Fifty-six years of service "in The

Robertson the unique distinction of
being retired at full pay with the rank

of the treasury, is to succeed Charles
D. Norton as secretary to the Prcsi-
dent on April 4th.

tion bills. providing for the expendi-
ture of more than s50O,O0O,O00. They

nounced that John Hays Hammond
would represent the United States as
special ambassador at the court of
ST. James at the coronation of King

There is strong probability that
Representative Taylor of Colorado
may be the next chairman of the
House public lands committee. Mr..
Taylor is already a member of that
committee, but Representative Robin
son of Arkansas is entitled to the
place by seniority.
The Senate defeated the resolution
proposing an amendment to the con-
stitution to provide that senators be
elected by direct vote of the people.
Fifty-four senator's stood for the reso-
luton and thirty-three against 1t.

to carry the motion, which required a
two-thirds vote.

railway mail service employees. the
Postoffice Department has notified all
railroads that from July /, 1911, wood
en- mail cars run between the engine
and steel car or between steel cars

The last vestige of doubt that
there will be an extraordinary session
of Congress called by President Taft
to consider the Canadian reciprocity
agreement in the now practically GER
tain event of the failure of that meas
ure in the present Congress has dis
appeared.
