The American Indian,

The old question of the origin Of the
red man of America is still an open
one. the last word by no means having
been said. The most probable theory
Is that which links the Indian with
the Mongolaids Of East Africa. whose
physical characteristics are strikingly
similar to those of the American ab0rig-
inc. Between the Indian and the Jap
anese there are many pronounced re-
semblapces. and some excellent an
thorjties are of the opinion that 1t was
from that eastern race that the Indian
originally sprung. II. "a some think.
the Eskimos are the best representa-
lives of the Indian as he was upon his
arrival here. the theory Of the Jap
anese origin Is immensely strength
ened. since the likeness between the
Eskimo and the japanese is striking
indeed. New York American.

fourth MARRIAGE
At age Of EIGHTY
GROOM WAS ONCE MEMBER OF
GARFIELD's CABINET.
Became Lonely After Death Of Wife
Bride 10 Forty Years His Junior
Fourth Matrimonial Alliance for
Groom.

NEW YORK, May 19.-General
Thomas L. James, who was postmas.
ter general under President Garfield,
has just married the fourth time.
1t is the combination of age and ap-
parently eternal hope which makes
General James case remarkable. He
is over 80 years old.
"My third wife died nine months
ago." he said, land was lonely. I
cannot tell you how lonely l was after
her death. And I do not believe it is
good for man to be alone. A man
who desires happiness should always
have companion-a wife. Age has
nothing to do with it. One can be as
lonely at 80 as at 10.

groom's age.
DO you believe in just one great
love in lifetime, general?"
What nonsense" he replied. "One
likes or loves every one differently.
No two people call forth exactly the
same emotions in US. We may dislike
two people, as one much as the other,
each for different reasons, and each in
different way. Similarly with af-
lection. We care for people for what

exactly alike, we do not feel in ex-
actly the same way toward any two.
You cannot really compare affection
either. One might care for nalf a
dozen people, one as much as the
other.
"You see it is just the same way
with age the general continued. One
does not love another person because
that person happens to be 16 or 60.
A man. sensible man, loves a woman
and wishes to marry her because she
has the character which will be COM
panionable with his character, the
point of view which will understand
his point of view and the heart which
will understand his heart.
Mind you. do not say any mar
riage is better than no marriage. OF
course that is not true. Our divorce
courts prove that. have never been
divorced. My three former wives

But l do not think any man, what
ever his age, should be alone. Hea-

he continued, Ito 60 to my grave a

DR.. D. X. PEARSONS
GOES TO SAN|TAR|UM
THE GREAT PHhANTHROPlST RE.
TIRES FOR REMAINDER OF
HIS DAYS,
Has Giben Away Ten Million Dollars
to Educational and Charitable In
Enabled Fargo College
to Get Firmly Established.

FARGO. May 19-Dr. D. X. Pearsons
the Hinsdale philosopher, whose gifts
to educational and charitable institu-
tons aggregate over ten million dol
lars, has entered sanitarium to
spend the remainder of his days.
The doctor is the man who furnish
ed the most of the money that erected
Fargo college, or at least, enabled
Fargo college to get good start until
now it is recognized as one OF the
great places of learning in the North
west.
His last transaction before going
into retirement was his disposal of
his house and lot at Hinsdale, which
is near Chicago.
DR.. Pearsons was 81 years old on
April IA. Jokingly he has promised
his friends that he intends to remain
with them until he is 100 but no one
knows better than he that he may not
be allowed to remain here that long.
And now he is getting ready. to take
his first real vacation" to compose
his mind and prepare his soul that
when the angel of death arrives it will
find him ready.
He is now an inmate of the Hins-
dale sanitarium in his town, and he
has an income of between $4,000 and
$1,000 annually.
DR.. Pearsons has never claimed all
the income he is entitled to under the
terms of his gifts to colleges. but his
right to this income is absolutely Sc
cured.
DR.. Pearsons expects to live the
ouietest kind of life at Hinsdale
sanitarium. Although his health is
and has been for number of years
remarkably good. he proposes to take
the best of care of himself and to keep
himself constantly under the scrutiny
of able physicians. Conversation with
old friends. a little reading, good
deal of walking and watching the
growth of the institutions he has
founded or endowed, are to be his
amuSementS.

OFFICERS OF CLUB RESIGN AFT
Err PRESIDENTS CHILLING.
Some Congressman Who Have Been
BIackbaIIed by Metropolitan Club
Were Particular Friends Of the Chief
Executive and He Freely Expressed
His Indignation.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. May 19.-The
designations of two members OF the
board of governors and the secretary
of the Metropolitan club in this city
made known today following speech
by President Taft last night in which
he denounced small headed men, who,
in clubs attempt to manifest their
greatness by blackballing men Of pro-
minence for membership have stirred
officials and social Washington to the
core.
Taft, who is a member of the ex-
elusive Metropolitan club was re-
ported several days ago to have felt
some resentment over the exclusion
from the organization of several newly
elected congressman and senators
proposed for membership by some Of
the most influential men in the club.
Among the men excluded was one
of whom the president was said to be
particularly fond.
The furry caused by the clubs act
at that time had partially died down
when President Taft last night in an
address at Jewish temple revived the
SUBJECT by saying that he had had
friends, gentiles, kept out of clubs
by people who were not worthy to
button up their Shoes"
This was followed by the announce
ment today that Brigadier General
Clarence Edwards of the bureau of
insular affairs an infinite friend of
President Taft; Lieutenant Colonel
Charles T. McCawley of the marine
corps, formerly White House aide, and
Captain F. NJ. Potts of the navy had
resigned their official positions with
the Metropolitan Club.

GRAVE HAD BEEN KEPT GREEN
BY THE MEMBERS OF HER
FAMILY.
Girl Who Ran Away From Home
Thirteen Years Ago Mourned as
Dead-kept Her Whereabouts Sc.
cret Until Nostalgia Drove Her to
Write Asking Forgiveness.

NEWTON, Kan, May 19.-At the
home of Frank Peterson, an Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe carpenter resi-
dent of Newton thirty years, the cur
tain is being rung down on the last
act of drama of real life. 1t is the
scene where the long lost daughter
who has been mourned as dead by
her parents and five brothers and
sisters since she left home thirteen
years ago, has been found, not as
they rafeed, but with husband and
four children, and is the center OF
the once more united family circle.
In the potter's field in Wichita is a
; lonely grave that has been pointed
out to the father as that of his daugh-
ter years ago. At one time he con-
templated removing the body to the
Newton cemetery, but was prevailed
upon by friends to let the lancied un'
pleasant memories and the sad story
of the supposed death, remain where
they were. Each Decoration uay the
family sent some member to Wichita
to search out the lonely grave in the
potter's field and cover it with flow
ers. Only recently Mr.. Peterson
contracted with Newton marble
worker to erect monument on the
grave.
Then Came a Letter.
Ten days ago came a letter signed
by the long absent daughter, Bertha.
The handwriting had not changed in
the thirteen years. Scarcely could
the Peterson family believe their
eyes ashley read again and again the
lines which unfolded the pent-up love
of a daughter who no longer could
control the heart yearning once more
to inquire about the old folks whom
when a II year old girl. Despite the
fact that she had violated their wish
es when she eloped with Frank Noble,
proprietor of laundry in which she
was employed, the letter related that
the marriage had proven a happy one
and had been blessed with four chill
dren, the eldest II years old. Con-
tinuing, it told of their comfortable
home in Clinton, Ia. where they have
lived ever since they left Newton, and
of the desire once more to be taken
back to the family circle.
Found Her Married and Happy.
Seevral letters were exchanged and
Mrs. Noble learned to her surprise of
the grave in the Wichita cemetery

ton and found all that the letters had

turned to Newton with Mrs. Peterson
and he rson and are here now. OF
the other five children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Peterson, Mrs. Colvin Bailey lives in
Wichita. Alfred. John, Mrs. John Con.
nell and Mrs. James eBrtram live In

The story of the daughters death
came to the Peterson family shortly
after she had disappeared. Johnson

ton and directed Mr.. Peterson to
persons in Wichita who took him to
the cemetery and pointed out the
