last Thursday, and while his family,

Over the broad Atlantic there are
flying invisible criss-cross messages
reaching between La Lorraine and

On the one hand the son is implor-

Nevertheless, there is one broad av-
enue along which disease and death
march arm in arm right into the
very heart of the citadel Of life. 1t
is the highway that leads from the
KINGDOM of Dust. The myriads OF
dust notes are the real eXecutioners
OF mankind, especially in those oc-
cupations where the formation Of
dust is necessary concomtant.
An average man breathes about
u cubic feet Of air per hour. Under
the very best conditions possible, the
air ne breathes is never entirely
free from dust Under ordinary condi-
tions. the average business man in
his comparatively sanitary Office
breathes in thousands of dust par
ticles every hour. The workman, who
earns his livelihood in shop. factory
or mine. has his proportion Of notes
enormously, , increased, owing to the
nature Of his work; unfortunately
also. the character of these particles
is too often changed from the innocu-
Gus kind 10 the death-dea,ing- splin-
ters due to certain occupations.
An artisan working with keen-edg
ed tools must exercise extreme care
in order to prevent harm to himself.
If he is surrounded by circular saws
revolving at lightning speed, or with
watts of corrosive acids, or furnaces
of molten steel, these pcri.s are at
least in opon view, and may be
against. II is different, how
ever. with the dangers lurking in
dust. They are invisible, bat none the

PASSING OF THE CHIEFS.

NO longer win the Indians recoS-
nize tribal leaders. The Indian tribes
of Southwestern Oklahoma will elect
no successor to fill the position oi
chief, recently held by Quanah Par
ker. who died four months ago. His
name will go down to posterity as
the last of the COmanches- that is,
the last of the Comanche chiefs. This
is the beginning OF the end, the pass
ing of the long lineage of chiefs who
have presided over the destinies Of
this powerful tribe.
As other tribal chiefs are gathered
TO the happy hunting ground the eN-
ample of the Comanches will be fol-
lowed.
The Indians are fast disappearing.
It is a vanishing race. When we look
back into the distant past and re-
member the red man as one of the
strongest races OF men, we cannot
but pity them in their present degen-
crate state. We must also admit
with feeling of shame, that their
downfall is due not so much to their
own fault as to the wickedness of
the white men who caused them to
fall.
The Indians We're not hostile when
tins country was first discovered.
They were the rightful possessors Of
the Land. Il was their country. God
placed them here long before the
white man dreamed that such coun-
try existed. They ruled in their way
They were peaceful, friendly and gen
erous The lived in simple way
and governed themselves by the
codes OF the tribe. They rightm'ly
owned the land and felt the injustice
done them when the whites began to
settle on the soil
Gradually the Indian has been driy-
en- to the west; surely and certainly
he has been robbed OF his land. Only
recently another Indian land fraud
scheme was exposed.
Uncle sam is the guardian OF these
scattered children Of a once powerful
nation. As the years pass, through
death, intermarriage and immigration.
the tribes surviving grow smaller
Many sul cling to the past his
tory of the race They have their
customs. descended from one geuer.
alton to another Even these are nov
becoming obsolete with education and
enlightenment
The decision of the Comanches to
elect no new chief and to abandon
the old tribal rule is an evidence
that they have lost that stole pride
they once possessed \ crushed and
fallen people. they are no longer in
position to resist the stronger in
fluence of the Anglo-SaNon race. They
are being gradually drawn into the
melting pot. as Gaugwill would eN-
plain; their blood is being assimi-
lated with that of the stronger peo-
pie Soon there will be nothing left
but "a memory of the vanished race
