TR0UT's MEMORY

An expert in fish culture, who be-
lieves that fish have memories, gave
novel exhibition to support his
theory. In one of the inclosed pools
at the hatchery under his charge
there was large trout. which always
came forward to see and be seen
when visitors appeared. 1t was the
experts custom, after calling particu-
lar attention to that trout, to raise
his cane quickly and hold 1t over the
water. The performance would have
no effect upon the trout. Then the
expert would produce light trout rod
and appear with 1t st the side OF the
pool. Instantly that trout would turn
and flee. hide itself at the far end OF
the Enclosure. and remain there as
long as the rod was In sight. This Is
the explanation of the sudden change
in the trout's demeanor: One day.
early in the career of the fish. the ex-
pert, to try barbless hook he had
devised. cast with one in that pool.
and this trout seized it. The hook
penetrated and passed through its up
per Jaw. and by the time 1t was re-
leased from the hook 1t had under
gone an operation that made last
ing impression upon it.

Putty-Head Hard to Penetrate.

Napoleon Bonaparte once said the
hardest task his artillery ever essayed
was the reduction of mud fort In
Egypt. 1t absorbed shot and shell as
the desert absorbs rain. That's why
putty-headed man discourages you.
II you hit him in the side of the head
with sledge hammer you only make
dent in his skull. Then If you hit
him on the other side, the second
dent drives the first one out. He is
capable of receiving and retaining
but one dent at a time, and that on
the outside. The only thing you can
do to give him new impressions is to
lay his head out in the sun for hun
dred years, when it will harden like
granite. which can be easily pune
tured.

WILD H0P| INDIANS
Transformation at the Carlisle
School for Savages.
Red Men Captured by Regulars Have
Become civIized-WorId's Best
Long Distance Runner Is
Among Them.

Carlisle, Pa.-That misunderstald-
ing of the white mans motives has
been one of the causes of the Indians
backwardness in adopting civilized
methods and of his fighting educa-
ton is being demonstrated here at
the government Indian school, where
IL members of the Hopi nation, sun
worshipers and pagans, who came
here five years ago virtually as pris-
oners of war, are now preparing to
go back to their people and spread the
doctrine of the new life, which they
have gladly accepted.
A half-dozen years ago the Hopi ma
ton was causing considerable trouble
in Arizona. Internecine strife had di-
vided the tribes and troop of United
States cavalry was sent post haste to
the Keam's canyon region to restore
peace. After pow-wows and confer
ences, in which the Indian leaders
sternIy refused to adopt the white
mans education, twelve of the most
obstinate "stand-patters" were taken
as prisoners and sent from the Mo-
qui agency, in Arizona, to the Carlisle
Indian school. The party arrived here
January &c, 1907. All of these In
dams were members of the Oraibi
band of the Hopi nation. Among them
were several priests and head men of
the tribe.
When these savages arrived at the
Carlisle school they would have moth
ing to do with any of the other stu
dents, and began to live their lives
apart. In less than ten days one of
the Hopis indicated by gestures that
he would like to have his hair cut
like the other students, and on the
same day another Hopi was discover
ed shipping of his own Locks with
hunting knife.
From the moment the Hopis showed
their first interest in education they
advanced rapidly and became eager
in their desire to learn more. They
entered the lowest grades in the class
rooms, but as they were attentive to
their studies. were kindly disposed to
their teachers, and caused not the
slightest trouble. they climbed stead

When to Call the Doctor.

When to summon the doctor is a
point which has probably puzzled most
people at one time or another, but In
the case of throat and intestinal
troubles there should be no uncertain
ty, says medical authority. The doc
tor should be summoned at once, for
the sore throat may be diphtheria. and
the intestinal symptoms may mean
peritonitis. appendicitis or any one OF
a dozen complaints of serious char
acter. Valuable time and the golden
opportunity may be wasted by wait
ing for symptoms that are severe
enough to justify calling the doctor.

were assigned to devote some portion
of their time to vocational training,
some entering the blacksmith shops
or carpenter shops, and Lewis Tewani-
ma, the crack Marathon runner, Is de-
veloping into an expert tailor.
when these Hopi boys return home
this summer they will be leaders
among their people and fight for both
education and righteousness. Now
all speak English, all read and write;
they are courteous and are gentlemen.
They have kept in continual touch
with their people, and already their
influence has been noticeable in the
Hopi country"
Lewis Tewanima, one of these same
savages five years ago, is today the
greatest long-distance runner in the
world, and two years ago, while rep
resenting America at the Olympic
games in Paris, won the main Mara

country at the next Olympic games.
Washington Talyumptewa has also
achieved a national reputation as a

AUCTION BRIDGE
By r. F. Foster.

Few players attach sufficient import
ance to the warning conveyed by the
dealers opening bids, probably because
they overlook the fact that almost all
such bids are invitations to the partner
to 20 no trumps. and, therefore, indicate
some pretty good cards in the dealers
hand.
To bid against such declarations the
second hand should be pretty sure OF his
contract on his own cards. as he cannot
reasonably expect his partner to hold
the majority Of the good cards that re-
main to be divided between the third
and fourth bidders. With fairly strong
hand, it is much better policy for the Sec
ond bidder to wait and let the third
player declare himself, after which the
fourth hand may have something to say
If he has any strength.
The position resolves itself into this.
II the third hand has the strength to re-
spond to the dealers invitation to go no
trumps, any bid that the second player
may interpose will simply put him in
hole, because it gives the third player the
choice Of foregoing his intended no.
trumper, and playing for penalties in
stead. which he will invariably do unless
he thinks he can go game at no trumps
If the second bidder passes. the third
player has nothing to guide him but the
one suit named by the Lealer, and he
others. which he would not do If the posi-
ton Of a second suit were disclosed by
bid from the second hand.

The model for today. If trifie ex-
treme, is wonderfully graceful and ef-
fective and capable of being worked
out in many different combinations of
materials and colors- Black velvet and
white cloth are here employed with jade
buttons to give the color note The
skirt and tunic are In one. The upper
portion, which is OF the black velvet is
gathered a little at the top with the
gathers evenly disposed and gathered
again at the knees. where it is brough,
into the white cloth drapery that COM
pletes the length. The skirt opens at the
side the whole length with line of the
Jade buttons down the straight edge of
the velvet, and the drapery hooking over
blind1y. thus affording the necessary
spread to enable it's wearer to navigate
gree Of facility.
The little Eton is charming Its front
edges meet only at the top. then they
ara drawn away to round gradually into
the line across the back. They are widely
faced with green satin matching very
nearly the color of the buttons. The vest
consists of two crosS-over sections Of
velvet, one edge of which is decorated

section that is of the cloth. The upper
portion Of the sleeves is cut in one with
the body portion and wide enough to
have a little fullness where they arc
brought into the lower sleeves. which are
close fitting and slightly mousquetaire.
A narrow banding of black fox about the
neck, a graceful cap of black velvet
with narrow black satin brim and an
outstanding brush. and muff of tailless
ermine banded with black fox put the
finishing touches to as up-to-the-moment
a costume as you will see in a days
jaunt In any direction.
Vests are delightful features this fall
Seemingly they are responsible many
times for the character note of a cos
tune. especially as they always afford
an excellent opportunity for introducing
a contrasting fabric or color, perhaps in
bit of handsome embroidery that other
wise would be entirely out of place. One
of the very dark browns. any of the
medium blues or one of the dull, rich
unusual reds are colors that would work
out well In the model. the cloth and vel
vet matching the dress. and. if not per-
haps quite dashing, would be no less dis
tinctive. This season little difficulty is
experienced in matching colors in differ
ent materials, for the range in each
weave is unusually complete.
