Rhinoceros Tail Is Latest Gift to Bride

L ding present! That was the ex-
traordinary gift received by Miss
Mary Carlisle, leader OF the younger
social set, from Col. Theodore Roose~
welt, mighty hunter of Oyster Bay.
The arrival at the Carlisle home on
I street of a strange looking package
from the Roosevelt village was not
told until the other day, although the
Sift was received several weeks ago,
at the time Of the wedding of Miss
Carlisle to Walter Howe, a young
lawyer Of this city. Miss Carlisle
opened the package herself, feeling
that the greatest prize of her record
breaking collection of wedding gifts
was about to be revealed.
A little scream of fright drew the
members of the family and servants
as black, peculiar object resembling
a snake rolled out on the floor.
What on earth can it be?" the
household asked.

1t has been more or less asserted by
scientists and others that both Adam
and Jesus Christ were not white,
which, of course, is easy to believe,
when one thinks of the fact that even
at the present time only about one
eight of the population of the world
is white. But now comes a Theoso-
phist, D. S. M. Unger of Chicago, who
declares he knows for fact that
Christ is coming back to earth within
the next twenty years. Says Mr..
Unger: "Whenever nation or the
world really needs a great leader, he
turns up. The world is sadly in need
of a great religious leader these days
and so I know Christ is coming back
within the next twenty years. And,
in order that humanity may have no
trouble in being certa in of the pres
ence of Christ, he will have a brown
body"
Well, if Christ returns to this earth
brown in color, there are people in
the United States who will not accept
him.

How Congressman Became an Indian

I N the Office of Representative Steen-
l erson of Minnesota hangs a pipe of
peace and hatchet-once buried-that
are mementoes of the time Steener-
son was adopted by the Chippewa In
dians. "
Steenerson was grown man at the
time of the adoption. He had never
become regular Indian. He had done
several favors for the Chippewas and
they made him member of the tribe,
just as a college might bestow an
IL. d. When it came to the actual
comforting Of the tribal title there
were war dances, smoking Of the pipe

much more merry doings that made
Steenerson think what fine thing 1t

HELLlSH COLOR PREJUDICE.

TO what contemplate depths does
the hellish color prejudice of some
white men lead them! 1t is under
stood that the executive committee of
the American Bar Association has de-
cided to oust Hon. William H. Lewis,
Assistant Attorney General of the
United States, from membership in the
bar association.
1t is claimed by members of the
committee that they did not know that
Mr. Lewis was an Afro-American when
he was elected, all of which is a mis-
statement of facts.
The action Of the committee has
aroused Attorney General Wickersham
and he has sent a spirited letter to
each of the 400 members of the as
sociation, charging tho executive COM
mittee with an arrogance of power un-
warranted by the body's constitution
in order to crafty race prejudice en-
tertained by some of it's members.
Inc constitution OF the association
has no provision upon which to base
such discrimination
All honor to Attorney General Wick
ersham!
AS so many hundreds of thousands of
supposedly pure blooded white men,
really have Negro blood in their COM
position, it is not unreasonable to pre-
sumo that at least several scores of
the 400 are so "tainted," and that

Uncle Sans Bare-Legged Soldiers

there were 4,130 men and 296 officers
at last report. This constabulary had
its origin In the Filipino scouts that
were organized during the war of oc-
cupation. The scouts readily adopted
the methods of the Americans and
showed themselves easily amenable to
discipline. With them as a basis, the
force has been gradually increased un-
til members of the constabulary are
to be found in nearly all parts of the
island, and have come to be as much
depended upon to keep order as are
the American troops.
The Filipino boys are taken when
they know nothing of the English Ian
guage and little of civilized life. They
are provided with shelter and food
and get small wages. There is a
scramble to get into the service. BY
nature these Malay Mongolian races
are great imitators. When they see a
thing done once they can come near
repeating it.
The Filipino Is being found to be
an excellent fighter. There have been
instances when led by an American
officer these troops have charged for
titled positions with a resulting death
percentage as high as 40 and have re-
fused to give up the charge.
