sketch:
Perhaps the foremost figure at pres
ent the most nearly representative Of
the movement, and the oldest Of the
leaders-is La Toilette Of Wisconsin.
LA Toilette has been before the peo-
pie of the country now for over twenty
years At first he was regarded as II
sort Of incendiary, destroyer of insti-
buttons; but, taking his stand squarely
on the platform Of popular government,
he made his fight first in his own state.

man then, as he is a poor man now

him, moreover. the powerful machine

garded his efforts at first with CON

their money in their power He fought
them by going straight to the people.

when he had won in Wisconsin, he
went to Washington as the senator from
his state, Here again lie found himself
lone fighter, and, ii the odds of money

sin, they were now doubly against him

Club he was, at first. practically the
only man who stood for popular rights
Every device was used TO cajole or flat

used against him the almost irresistible

arose to speak his colleagues would seek

spoke on the railroad billH 1t was in
April, 1906 The galleries were crowded
to hear him, but the seats of many of
his colleagues We're empty. Finally Sen
ator La Toilette burst out with these
prophetic words, uttered in voice
charged with emotion:

In the vast equatorial forests Of
Africa the most dreaded OF animals ia
the great bull ant. Unlike other ants
It carries nothing away; everything is
eaten on the spot. Every kind OF beast
and reptile-elephants lions. gorillas,
snakes and man himself-fiees before
this terrible insect
These ants march through the for.
ests in long thin column. two inches
wide and miles in length. If they come
TO an open space where there are no
trees to shelter them from the sun
they burrow underground and form
tunnels, through which they march on
1t often takes as long as twelve hours
for one of these armies to pass.
Any creature overtaken is at once
attacked with irresistible fury and in
stantiy devoured The strongest and
the weakest, the most fierce and the
most timid of creatures are alike

Natives overtaken by them seek ref
uge In the nearest river or pond. Yet
even when the ants themselves are
drowned their strong pincers refuse
TO relax their hold upon any flesh they
may have attached themselves to, and.
though their bodies are torn forcibly
away. their heads remain.
Certain barbarous tribes. when a
man is condemned for witchcraft,
fasten him to tree and leave him to
the ants. When they have passed a
skeleton alone is left to tell the tale.

During the fight Jim fought like

captain. Tisdale was leading charge
into a nest of Indians when an arrow
struck him In the forearm. At the

horse, raised his captain. pulled the
arrow from the wound. looked at it's

his boyhood, and as part of his song

captain and his young orderly an anti

poison, sank lower till his song ceased

A Debt Paid
By WILLIAM BRAKEMAN
Copyright. 1910. by American Press
Association.

Captain Tisdale of the --th United
States cavalry, years ago serving on
what was then called 'the plains" be-
ing sent out TO reconnoiter the forces
of the hostile tribes of Indians, who
were at war with each other, came
upon a small band of Sioux who were
shooting arrows at long distance at an
Indian boy they had captured from
their enemies. Their object was to
torture the boy by making the distance
between him and them so great that
they would likely fire a long time at
him before giving him his death
wound. He had been struck several
times, but not yet in vital part.
Captain Tisdale bought the boy for
$50. The captive, who was tied to the
trunk OF a tree, was unbound and taken
up by the captains order behind one
of the troopers. Tisdale had no use
for his purchase, but II the boy were
left to himself he would either die
without food or be recaptured. tortur
ed and killed. So the captain decided
TO keep him with the command and
when the troop returned to the fort
take him along.
The boys Indian name being I'M
pronounceable. he was given another
Jim. There was no reason why he
should not have been called John or
Jack or Joe instead. 1t happened sim
ply that the captain first thought OF
Jim. The boy was about fifteen years
old, tall and straight and had all the
fortitude of his race. When released
from being a target, though fainting
from loss Of blood, he kept a resolute
look on his face and did not seem es-
pecially pleased that his life had been
saved
Since there was nothing for Jim to
do at the fort, Captain Tisdale con-
cluded to make him his servant Sery-
ants were hard TO get in western
garrisons, and Tisdale. who was mar
ried man, thought Jim would make
good waiter. The captain proposed
this to the boy, but received no reply
of either assent or dissent. He went
about his duties sullenly, but attended
to them faithfully. Tisdale was sur
prised that he displayed no gratitude
for the saving of his life, but Tisdale
had little faith In the better Impulses
of the savageS and ascribed Jim's APP
parent Indifference to his redskin ma |
ture. Mrs Tisdale went even further, |
She feared all Indians and dreaded lest /
they should be murdered by Jim some |
night and he would be missing in the
morning.
Then came news that the tribe by |
which Jim had been made captive had
broken away from their reservation
and were roaming about numbering
settlers, burning houses and pillaging.
All the garrison of Fort - except
sufficient guard went out TO drive the
savages back into their proper limits.
Captain Tisdale before departing said
TO Jim:
Jim. wish you to be good to Mrs
Tisdale while | am away"
.Me go. too" replied Jim.
"All right" said the captain. who
was fearful of leaving him. "I'll get
you horse from the quartermaster.
and you shall be my orderly"
For the first time since Jim had
been purchased o light came into his
eye.
You would rather fight than wait
on the table, wouldn't you. JIM" said
the captain.

the fact that they are most numerous

and half mile wide. The sardines are
netted and taken at once to the shore.
There they are washed. scraped and
sprinkled with salt. The salt is soon
removed, the heads and gills cut of
and there is another washing. Then,
on beds Of green brush, the fish are
