THE ROSEBUD CONFERENCE.

A religious gathering which may be
properly considered one of the most
notable Of any ever held has just
been concluded on the Rosebud reserva-
ftion where 5000 Indians of the Conxre-
gational and Presbyterian denomina-
tions held a joint annual conference.
In big tent the Indians met for wor-
ship and to discuss eagerly such topics
as The Education Of Young Indians"
Home life problems were discussed and
the meeting appears to have been as
well conducted and more enthusiastic
ally in earnest than most similar gath
erings of white men.
1t is but few years since the Rose
bud saw different gathering and the
Pine Ridge agency was the scene of
vastly different assemblage. Then those
Indians who are now discussing the
education Of their children and grand
children We're herded inside the Gordon
of Forsyth's troopers, sullen, blanket
sion surrounded by sparks. There are
men not yet old who remember how
the explosion came and the bloody
battle between the Indians and the
troops in which the Indians struck like
rattlesnakes and the soldiers slew in
discriminatory. Women lay dead with
warriors and the corpses of little chill
dren mingled with blue uniformed and
blanketed bodies in the shambles of
Grafton since, 5000 Of these Indians and
their descendants hold religious and
social conference on the very ground
which soaked up the blood of those who
fell that day when Forsyth's carbines
swept Pine Ridge with swift death.
1t must be strange reading to the
Forty Miners this story OF
5000 of the Indians they fought from
Council Bluffs to Denver, meeting in a
religious conference. If there IS left
one of the old-time trappers and cour-
ie-s Slu hnis who took their lives in
their hands when they left Prairie du
Chen and passed into the savage will
derness beyond the outpost at ST. Paul
he will read the story with wonder and
perhaps with unbelief. For it Is but
yesterday that the Sioux was a savage
Today he holds religious conferences
and plans the education Of his children
in the arts Of civilization. y
The old order changes. None have
done more to change 1t than the men
VINO have carried the story of the cross
among the Indians from the mission
friars to the latest assignment from the
theological schools to the Rosebud con-
ference of Congregational and Presby-
ferian Indians

Without a single exception they were

prising, 1t 10 amazing, to me to note
the physical and mental condition OF
men there under treatment and see

TESTING OUT ENDURANCE.


Two men are walking across the
continent against each other as test
of the relative endurance Of meat eat
ers and vegetarians. They got into
Chicago from the Atlantic coast the
other day and to the newspaper offices.
No doubt they will soon be in Iowa
calling on the local editors as they
go along and explaining the test. In
cidentally they will give their names
and the name of the college professor
under whose direction they claim to
be travelling, the name of the school
the professor processes in and possibly
the kind of breakfast food and the
brand of bacon which they consider
best adapted to renew and energize the
human frame divine.
Isn't it strange that none of these
alleged tests are tried out upon some
useful and productive labor? Why is
it always necessary to trundle an emp
ty wheelbarrow across a continent or
absurd act as a test Of one thing or
another? Why not husk corn, or dig
cellars, shovel sand or carry a hod?
There could be no more decisive test
of endurance than to put the contest
ants into low excavation and let
them lift soggy clay ten hours or more
daily on shovel until roast pork with
apple sauce or oat meal with cream
were acclaimed winner amid the plau-
dts of an enthusiastic and excited
world. Why in Sam Hill don't these
tests include hard work?
II any collegian or college professor
or butcher or ''puffed alfalfa" manu-
facturer wants to try out the question
of endurance based on the feed under
conditions which will settle the bust
ness definitely, let them come to Iowa
directly after we have the killing frost
for which we are waiting. The ar
rangements for the test can be quickly
attended to. A good team. a wagon
with a box thirty eight inches on one
side and about sixty inches to the
top Of the bangboard, q husking peg
and a pair Of indigo blue overalls are
all each contestant will need. Almost
any Marshall county farmer will fur
nish the outfit, supply the corn to work
on and feed the men pork, beefsteak

TOWN ADVERTISING.
Des Moines is wondering whethe,

Des Moines Is wondering whether or

er advertising agencies Of city lauda-
ton and magnification haven't over'
done the thing. At present 1t is said
that the unemployed in that city are
legion and. that others are coming hot
foot, attracted by the roseate glow
the metropolis on the Raccoon. They
don't know just what to do with them
and the fear is that the city will be
overloaded with unemployed persons
without means Of support. 1t has been
touted so widely and increasingly as a
Land Of Cocayne where roast pigs
run about the streets with knives and
forks in their backs that people with
a taste for roast and inclined to favor

into an extent which is reported alarm
ing in the capital city.
Large assertion needs plenty back
of it, Advertising is the most legitimate
and successful way Of attracting notice
and of acquiring patronage But it is
not to be forgotten that the advertiser
must make good on his claims. There
isn't much use nowadays to advertise
what what you haven't got in stock
There isn't any use Of advertising one
article as ten The customer catches
you at it.
Advertising towns or business with
intent to grow and keep on growing
means that the simple facts are best
1t is Of no use to four1ush. The day
of fire sales" and railroad wreck sac
rifices" is pretty we'll over with In mer-
chandising or city promotion. The
goods must be there to show. They
must be as good or better than the Gus
toner can buy elsewhere. Otherwise
he looks further. 1t is easy to draw
crowd which wont and often can't
spend a cent. A coon and a harmonica
will do that.
1t is a mistake nowadays to imagine
that big noise is advertising and that
a ballyho is real boosting. 1t isn't. 1t
doesn't bring the right crowd. It doesn't
keep the right ones who come to look.
Des Motnes is one of the best prospects
between the two big mountain ranges
but It isn't an elysium where money
earns 100 per cent a day and working
ment get rich. on wages. In the long
run hyperbole doesn't pay the big divi-
dends. The town which advertises must
make good on its prospectus. And it
should draw that prospectus with
view to making good on every asset g,
ton and explaining every proposition.
In short, hot air isn't advertising and
a big crowd is as likely to be looking
at a dog fight as seeking bargains.

Travelling Is Sure
Test of Friendship

One of the most severe tests OF
friendships is travelling and the en-
forced intimacy of long trips is some
times a great strain. 1t is the part OF
wisdom. therefore, to choose ore $
travelling companio with the utmost
care-with a future view to their
''wearing" qualities.
When there is a party it is just as
well to thoroughly agree on the itin-
erarv before starting. The next best
thing to do is to write it iown-and
keep it with you on the journey. Ard
then there can be no unpleasant mis-
Understandings.
If you expect to thoroughly enjoy
the trip don't wear yourself to a
frazzle before starting. Take plenty
OF time for the packing. don't wear
yourself out with shopping or social
q LOT of indigestible things that will
ruin your digestion ana spoil your
temper. II you start out in good
physical condition you a." apt to get
more enjoyment and real benefit from
tho vacation.
Have your belongings well and care
fully packed in a good. stout trunk
CT bag-one that will withstand the
knocks and bumps of the baggage
hours or the night before you start.
And If you wish each artic!e ~ 1t to
,'nms ont fresh and unrunIEled. pack
each garment in Tissue paper. Ar
IangeEI'rts with the luggage people
should hs made well in advance, SO
that there vii; be no Turning. fussing,
or wor1 wing at the last minute.
