Lost His Sole.

When the Hopkirsville sccommo-
dalton pulled in Friday night, Tom
Cartwright attempted to alight rear
the water works plant, and suffered
painful injuries about his chest. A
remarkable circumstance is that the
sole CT his shoe was caught under a
wheel of the car and neatly cut off,
merely bruising the ball of his foot.

Treatment Of the Indian.
rom the Hampton Magazine.

From the Hampton Magazine.
In his elaboration of his answer to my
fourth inquiry: What did we make of
him." Mr.. Curtis spoke at length and
with much feeling. He knows. His con-
tact with the Indian has been sympa-
thetic beyond the possibility of any con-
tact of officialdom with him; he knows
him in the north and in the south knows
what is left of him In middle west and
east.
He has slept in his tepees and eaten
with him. hao trusted him, has been
trusted by him; he knows his legends, his
religions and his music; he has heard his
melancholy history intoned at dying coun-
Gil fires through the thin lips Of old men.
his futile aspirations, his unrealized
ideals. the whole somber tale of his tre-
mendous disappointments he has been
behind the scenes the while upon the
stage of the sparse, narrowing Indian
domain iii the United States-doman?
ah, no; retreat,-the final act of this ex-
traOrdinary, narrowing drama has been
in course of presentation.
I'VE have made of him. he said, "a
race totally discouraged. We have
robbed him of the last thing which,
through ages of association and race
building, he had learned to love- Think
of it. the melancholy of it, for the
Indian and for his conquerors! He knows
well that, as he now is, after the century
and more of wrong we have inflicted on
him he cannot adjust himself to the en-
vironment we press on him. He has been
handled very maladroitly and is perfectly
aware of It,, and is tortured by it. But,
forced to the wall with no escape, he has
accepted his dull fate with the grim
stoicism of his race, and has ceased to
try to combat or avert it. Our efforts to
extend assistance to him have been in
sincere and he has known it linked, I'M
willingly with cupidity and stupid lack of
understanding, even the work of those
few honest men who really have tried to
help him has been wasted-has been
worse than wasted, for it has been harm
full.
1--WE have always wronged the Indian,
but the greatest wrongs we are doing
him, today, are born Of our misunder-
standing of him. The hardest of his
manifold misfortunes came through the
ever-changing policies by which we
managed him after he had been fully con-
uuered We have ever been and still are
vacillating and uncertain in our dealings
with him, just as instability of method in
the conduct of its commerce would ruin
any business corporation"

In Praise of Age.
From Lippincott's.


This is proffered, not necessarily to dis
parage the golden hours and youth, but
In praise of those other hours of gold
more rich, yet of value less appreciated.
For the champions Of youth are many.
and the champions Of age are few Never
theless, IL peace hath it's victories. age
hath its rewards, and in years there
should be no shame.
Age is but comparative. I well can re-
call when 1t appealed to me that should
ever attain to the ripeness of ten, and
stand as mature as my swaggering
brother who had donned long trousers,
then would l be at all desirable dignity.
HOW must 1t seem to be ten-with a
roundly uttered. manly Darn" with long
trousers and nickel in the pocket!
At ten. did that prove to be only a foot
hill. with maturity and all the appurte-
nances thereto still beyond; and twenty
beckoned. ahead, from the pinnacle of
manhood. Aye. to be twenty; to go to
bed bed :. when one ne chose, to throw base ball
the young ladies! At twenty would / be
old-and sometimes / wondered how it
would feel.
But at twenty. forty was an ultimate
goal where life would have been lived and
spent, and the backward look could out
distance the forward. Forty, with wife
and family and business, the world
mostly seen, and a stiffness of the joints
hampering the gay activities Of proceed
Ing years. For little fear was clouding
the horizon.
And now at forty-what? Nothing, in
particular. The fear-that suspicion OF
fear-was very foolish. At forty, one has
the same new interests, the same sense
OF anticipation for a morrow, the same
expectation OF doing and completing, the
same recurring pleasures: and while one
accepts that the knees wobble q little in
running. and that q few teeth are on the
danger line, one has the same impress
sion of remoteness when considering the
topic Of final dissolution.
So will 1t be. I fancy, at fifty. Fifty
now looms portentous. At fifty life will
have been two-thirds lived. No. not

A Composite Statue.
from the Westminster Gazette.

From the Westminster Gazette.
Humor in statues is rare. except of the
unconscious type, but the little parish
church Of st. James, Yarmouth Qs.e of
Wight) has such within its walls, "a fine
white marble statue Of Sir Robert
Holiness" dashing seaman who was
captain of the Wight from 1867 to 1892
Sir Robert as well as being an admiral
bold was also bit of wag. On one
of his nautical raids he captured a
French vessel which had on board an un-
finished statue intended to represent LIE
Grand Monarque Holmes did not make
the sculptor. who was on board, walk
the plank, but compelled him to finish the
statue In the likeness of his captor. The
head was the head of Holmes, but the
body was that of Louis XIV. The con-
trast is striking and humorous. and as
the guide book says, the statue is well
worth q visit" il only to see the incon.
gruity Of partnership between a buc-
cancer face and a regal body.

Orientation Of Birds.
From the Strand.


How do birds find their way? So far as
We are aware. only one experiment has
been made on these lines. This was car
ried out by Dr. Watson. an American,
who took some terms from their nests on
a rocky islet near Florida, and, having
marked them. released them at sea some
800 miles to the north Of their home and
several hundred miles north Of their nor
NAL range, so that the birds were liberat-
ed at a spot right out at sea, where
neither they nor their ancestors had ever
been. None the less. in the course of q
few days fair proportion had returned
to their island home. This experience Is
certainly conclusive as showing that some
birds have the power OF orientation and
of finding their way without the aid Of
any landmarks or inherited knowledge.
BY the ringing Of birds. therefore. a wide
field of discovery Is opened up, and be-
fore many years are over we may hope
by this means to learn more about migra-
ton than has been accomplished by all
previous work.

Message From American Colony.


The American colony in Caracas, the
members of which can be counted on the
fingers of one hand, were so impressed
by the commercial Importance of Mr..
Knox's visit that they sent the following
telegram to the Secretary on his depar-
ture from Puerto Cabello:
I'm the name of the American colony
we wish safe and happy voyage to Mrs.
Knox, to yourself and to your suite. We
congratulate you and ourselves for the
unprecedented manifestations of cordial
hospitality and fraternal good will ex-
tended to you and your suite by the gov
your visit, and which have so well ac-
centuated the traditional friendship be-
tween the two countries. We hope that
our countrymen at home Will appreciate
at their full worth, as We do, these proofs
of friendship and the important benefits
which both countries will derive as the
result of Your mission, which has been
such a fortunate one"

government. has been speaking editorial
ly, ever since Mr.. Knox left of the COM
mercial benefits which Venezuela hopes
to derive by the investment of American
capital and closer trade relations It

for from the spirit of initiative of the

hopes for positive results. both moral

Better Feeling Toward Americans.

Since that time favorable change of
opinion has taken root and recently
American capitalists have obtained a
valuable concession for the exploitation
Of Venezuela's petroleum deposits and
they have had a large corps Of engi-'
neers prospecting and have now opened
up permanent offices in Caracas.
Venezuela cannot remain much longer
ignored by Americans, as 1t is SO near
the United States and close by the Pam
anna canal. There are only a dozen
Americans today in the whole republic
and only two of them are merchants.
AS the merchants are nearly all Euro
peans-the dry goods houses are German
and the provision importers are Italians
of course most of the trade is thrown to
Erope whenever possible. Most of the
public utility franchises are owned by
English companies.
Caracas is destined to become the mec-
ca for winter tourists just as soon as
an expensive hotel is put up which will
cater to their comfort. Notwithstanding
the wonderful climate and scenic beau

with cement, and roads are being ex-
directions, making automobiIing the COM

now giving way to those of American
