his cure:

No sanatarium, he thought, should
be located away from the sound of a
railroad whistle; consumptives should
not be sent into exile, as Russia sends
her convicts. When sent alone to the
plains of West Texas they sit and
grieve themselves to death. The birds

As an introduction to his address
he called attention to the anti-lobby

speaking for a bill must tell whom he
represents. Mr.. McGregor described
these as follows:
Who He Represented.
Il sat as spectator in a commit

argument with the statement that he

on their ruddy lips comes the carmine

\ MiLLIoNAIRE's CONCLUSIONS.

A MlLLIONAIRE'S CONCLUSIONS
John Wannamaker, one of the most
heavily insured men in the United
States, says: AT the time I took
out my first insurance, l worked out
five conclusions as the result Of my
own thinking, without any moving
cause except my own judgment.
These conclusions were:
I. That at the time I knew I was
insurable, and I could not be certain
of immunity from accident or i'll
health, and 1t might be at some fu-
ture time would not be insurable.
That was the first step in the building
Of sixty.two policies.
2. That life insurance was one of
the best forms of investment. because
from the moment it was made it was
good for all it cost, and carried with
it the guaranty that there was pro-
lection In that investment that ] could
not get in any other way.
That life insurance in the long
run was a savings fund that not only
saved, but took average care of my

also from other educational problems
in that it is the education of families

BUFFALO HUNT
IN AUTOMOBILES

Chicago, Feb. 25.-Trophies of a
buffalo hunt in the Panhandle of
Texas, all the pelts, horns, hoofs and
smell. have been received from Dali
hart where they were practicing for
the cattlemen's convention. AS in
the old days when the Indians chased
tue rowing herds, as soon as the herd
was stampeded into run all were
slaughtered. Not one was spared. :
Net one spectacular feature of early
days was omitted, but several were
added. For one thing, the chase was
in autos. For another, the herd
which bounded frantically across the
prairie in a cloud of dust as of old,
consisted of one bison-count him
one. He came from the herd of
Judge J. B. Slaughter, and was saved
from less picturesque finish to make
a cowman's holiday. That innovation
shows the change that has taken
place in the Panhandle, once the COW
country of romance, now populous
with farmers.
The committee gave their buffalo
herd all allowable chances and real
izing his responsibility as herd, he
gave the committee a run for it. When
the time for firing came rife in the
nearest auto Tipped off his forehead
like pea from pan, but never broke
his speed. 1t took a faster machine
and another shot to drop him.
The trophies, therefore, consist of
l hide, which has been dressed: four
hoofs, which have been polished and
made into feet for a piano stool; one
head, which has been mounted.
The rest of the herd disappeared as
the piece de resistance buffalo beef
and buffalo hump, at the onslaughts
Of Panhandle appetites. 1t was but
a forerunner Of the big doings when
the cattlemen assemble for conven-
ton.

IF you do this," he said, you will
know ten years from now that l spoke
the truth today, when l said that it
lies i'll your hands to do more than all
the federal government of the United
States is doing or can do for the In
dians."
Turning to the moral side of Indian
education, which, he said, will be rec
ognized as the great problem Of our ma
tional education generally, the commits
sioner said that it was the belief that
the basis of moral education was in
dustrial work. 1t is a truism today, he
went on, that the moral fibre that
should be developed is not being devel-
oped in our schools. He declared that
this is even more pathetically true in
Indian education because there we
have not only to nourish and strength
en- moral tendency already existant,
but also in certain aspects of Indians
moral life, to create it almost anew, or
modify or divert it gently from the patti,
of centuries" He emphasized that it
was one of the basic truths of educa-
| ton that if mans mind is trained
| ahead Of his moral sense, he and the
community both are harmed.

time visiting in Texas has sent the
following clipping to friends in this
city. This is particularly interesting
at this time on account of the fact
that bill to establish Il sanatarium

asked for is as small as the friends

ask and they are working hard for
its passage.

that provision be made for the states

His audience sat in GREATNESS sill

with the great white plague and final

final statement that he knows con-

Mr.. McGregor spoke for an hour.
He offered himself as living exam
ple of his belief that consumption can
be cured. He called attention to his
picture, which hung on the walls of
the house of representatives, taken at
the early stages of the disease when
he weighed but 115 pounds. Last
night he appeared the picture of
health and spoke with such force that
showed no weakness of lungs.

He hoped above all things that the
legislature would not let anything
creep into the bill which would SAVIOR

part OF the bill which provides that
