DyIna ts Order,

Dying to order is one Of ths most
sacred customs Of the American IN
dian. Many years ago Standing Blk
went to Major James Mclaughlin, the
author of MY Friend the Indian" and
said, Father. my wife will die today,
and she wants a coffin from you"
The major asked him what the al
ment was, and be replied:
Just nothing but that she heard the
ghosts calling and must 60"
Somebody had told her. 1t turned
out, that she was sick. so she had
painted for DEATH" and all her rela-
tives had gathered about to bemoan
her-and incidentally divide her prop
ePty as soon as ST e was dead. There
was no use In the majors arguing
about 1t, SO he had the coffin made.
In many cases those painted for
death" are actually bullied into dying.
but Mrs. Standing Elk was still too
vigorous. Finally In despair she car
red the coffin into the house on her
own shoulders, and several years later
the major saw it still standing on end
In her house. Shelves had been fitted
into it, and it was doing duty as cup
board.-Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph

Innnrovina Americans,

Nothing is fixed but the certainty
of change" said Goethe. and we know
that the future American will repre-
sent a change. He may be taller or
shorter or thinner or fatter than the
American Of today, but there is moth
ing in the existing state OF society
and we use society in its broad SENSE
20 indicate that he will not be better
In many ways. Confidence in this is
based largely on the evident determi-
nation Of the American OF today TO
leave our institutions and our ideals
better than he found them Every
American, native or foreign borns
wants his children to have better ed
ucation than it was possible for him
to secure. He wants to have bis chill
dren live in a community OF higher
standards and ideals than he has; ne
wants betterment In local, state and
national conditions, and the result OF
the want will be improvement ana

Why Defend Taft?
(By Isaiah Mitchell, Sr., of Denver,

(By Isaiah Mitchell, Sr., of Denver,
ColOrado.)-
Sir: AS a subscriber Of The Bee
for nearly two years, ii is indeed
strange that you should defend Presi-
dent Taft against Rev. Waldron's
calling his attention to the promotion
of colored soldiers to be second lleu-
tenants in the United States Army.
There are only four regiments from
which these promotions can be made,
viz: the Ninth and Tenth u }: Cav
airy, and the Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-hfth Infantry. Has the rule
been complied with in the cases OF
these soldiers? Rev. Waldron's letter
is reminder-no crime. Please cal
his attention to page 98, Of the July
Crisis. I presume that you get 1t as
an exchange. He is Commander-in-
Chief of the Army ard Navy.-I82t
