New Animals Discovered by Curator

other species known as fox sparrow.
The natural history work Of the ex-
petition was under the charge of Mr..
HOLSTER. He paid especial attention,
however, to the mammals, four of
which he describes-a chipmunk,
manteled ground squirrel and two
bats. All the specimens came from
the neighborhood Of Mt. Robson,
which lies in the wild and unexplored
parts of British Columbia, at about
14,500 feet elevation.
The chipmunk is q new species. and
all the specimens of it come from the
region along the boundary line be-
tween British Columbia and Alberta,
from Yellowhead Pass northward. The
ground squirrel is beautifully mark
ed and highly colored form of the &C.
nus, and was found living in the
alpine meadows and rocks of the
snow-covered region above timber line.
The head and shoulders are rich
and glossy Mars brown, and the sides
are marked by conspicuous lateral
stripes.
While the two new species of bats
resemble some well known forms, ex-
ternally they are quite distinct and
readily distinguishable by the shape of
the skull. One of them curiously
enough, most resembles a species
known only from Mexico. -

days that to find a man possessing
them both, in a high degree, is some
thing wonderful. To go to the aid of
a beautiful woman in distress might
smack of these virtues, when selfish
ness really is the prompting motive.
The true test is where these virtues
are exhibited unprompted by selfish
motives
There was just such case in Wash
ington, D. c., few days ago, in which
Representative Kendall of Iowa was
the hero.
When MI. Kendall alighted from
street car at busy corner, he saw
two white men addressing profane Ian
guage to an old Afro-American woman,
who was carrying basket of freshly
Numbered clothes. Presently one of
the men struck the woman, telling her.
The contents of her basket were scat
tered in the snow and slush.
Mr.. Kendall landed his fist squarely
on the jaw Of the assailant and laid
the man motionless in the snow Then
he assisted the unfortunate woman in
restoring the clothes to the basket.

Indian Population

EXCLUSIVE of Alaska, the Indian
Il population of the United States in
1910 was, in round figures, 305,0O0, as
compared with 243, 900 in 1890, and 270,-
900 in 1900. Contrary to the popular no.
ton, the Indian is increasing. His gain
in numbers, moreover, is far less sur
prising than is his growth in indus
try and intelligence. The $40 Indians
residing in New York, chiefly rem
nants of the old Iroquois, follow the
same pursuits as their white neigh
bors, dress the same, and, save in
complexion, differ from the whites in
no essential particular. Much more
than third Of all the Indians in the
United States, or $4,000, reside in
Oklahoma
Most of these are members of the

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. NJ. Unger of Chicago, who
declares he knows for a 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 certain 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.

thing extraordinary in Representative
kendalPs action, but as she was old
black and poor, he certainly must be
every inch a man. We have not the
honor of a personal acquaintance with
the honorable gentleman, but if we
were in reaching distance we would
take chances and shake his hand.
Iowa may well be proud of having
such a man to represent her in Con,
gress, and we would to God that there
were more like him everywhere.
Not being a resident of his district,
we cannot vote for him, but should he
ever be candidate for president of
the United States, he will get my vote
and the votes of all the Afro-Ameri-
can voters.
Again we say, Three Cheers for Rep.

CIT PAYS TO ADVERTISE"

That it pays to advertise in news
papers and that the bigger the adver-
tisement the better the result, are
twin conclusions drawn by the Rev.
George Macadam, pastor of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, Joliet, Ill.,,
after thus exploiting his services.
The minister advertised his sermon
for last Sunday in a local newspaper,
taking space larger than the space
taken by the theater management in
advertising theatrical attractions on
that day. His crowd was larger than
those at the play. He will keep up
the publicity campaign. And a great
many others would do we'll to get wise
to the fact that it pays to advertise.

MISSIONARIES MUCH EXERCISED

MISSIONARIES WON7 E\EHCIoEO.
Some of the alleged Christian mis-
sionaries in the Far East are very
much exercised over reports of the
recent entertainment Of Admiral Togo,
in this country, and have protested
entail dignitaries, and particularly
against entertainment on Sundays.
The ground for the protest is that
Eve are a nominally Christian ma
ton and distinguished guests from the
Far East have difficulty in reconcil-
ing our liberal uses of Sunday, with
the teachings of Christian mission
aries in the Orient"
That's all a lot of buncombe. The
missionaries, many of whom have
gone to the Orient to teach "jim crow"
religion to the natives do not wish to
have prominent men of the various
colored races treated with considera-
ton, because it puts wrong ideas
into their minds" and makes them
think they are as good as white pco-
pie. The best way to convince the
colored peoples of the world of the
sincerity of the missionaries, and of
the people of this country, who furnish
the money to support the mission
aries, is to abolish the color line,
right here at home and give the
Afro-American a square deal in every
thing and not attempt to convert him
in Tim crow" institutions Cauca-
sian American Christianity is all right
until it reaches the color line and
then it is all wrong.

A story is told Of certain Norman
bishop, who preached SO eloquently
against the wearing of long hair before
Henry l. and his courtiers, that they
gave in on the spot and agreed to
have their locks shorn. No sooner
had they made their decision than the
wise prelate, who had provided for
just such contingency, pulled out
pair of shears from his sleeve and
soon removed the curls of the whole
