NATIVES ARE LAZY

The immediate causes Of the cruelty
exercised by the boss collectors on the
natives are plain enough. The natives
arc lazy There is Il great amount Of
the sleeping sickness prevalent III these
regions. There is Il certain mount OF
danger involved in Il trip through the
rubber. trees. For all these reasons II
a native has enough food on hand to
last him through the day he is natural
~ averse to going cupping after the
rubber.
On the other hand, the boss collector
has to supply his contracted amount to
the mercantile company. for the ships
can make the extreme headWaterS only
while the overflow season is on. and
that is during a very few months of the
year. and every day counts in the col
lection. Coercive measures. therefore.
are resorted to to keep the native on
his rounds. Machetes are very much
in evidence. as they are used for slash
ing the outer bark to make missions
for the milk to escape. The boss col
lector finds a machete handler than "A
walking stick in coercine Il native.
If a native is delinquent the boss
collector may strike him with a ma
chete as with a stick. In such q case
the loss Of an ear or Il limb may be
the result. In not a few instances per
| sistent refusal on the part Of il native
to work has caused him to be killed
outright. The man is simply shot
down.
Gun and machete furnish two means
of melting industry on the part of the
natives. but these DO not comprise the
entire arsenal of energy producers. An
instrument similar TO the Russian
kDout and known as Il scourge. is the
badge of authority among overseers.
Few natives whose regular pursuit is
rubber gathering escape the scourGe
and many of them can show backs
scanned and rid.ed. the result of blows
that have broken the skin and eaten
into the flesh. These are the prac-
tees which The British and the Ameri
can governments are demanding that
Peru shall order abated yen if troops
have to be sent 10 the region where
they are common.

A COOP SUGGESTION.

The Spokane people interested in the
plan hope TO secure united action Of
various organizations throughout the
nation in urging upon the president the
desirabiliy Of the proposed change.
The following resolution adopted by
The spokane Chamber of Commerce
gives its reasons for desiring thv
change
Whereas. The land where the Pana-
ma canal lies is now owned by the
United States. and
Whereas. Tie canal is called Pan

Whereas. The name American
Canal is more appropriate. since the
canal separates and at the same time
links the two Americas. and
Whereas, At the present time for

canal Of its kind IN the western hem

American; therefore be it

well received throughout the country.

Aneodote Showing What Fearlessness

Il has often been said that a wilc

evidence TO support that statement.
Some years ago the manager of a
menagerie i'm Moscow required an ex-
ira assistant To clean out cages The
manager. Frenchman. knew no Rus
sion. and the Cossack whom he hired
knew no French, but by dint of vivid
and practical pantomime on the part
of the one and ready attention on the
part of the other they got on admir-
ably.
While demonstrating how the work
should be done. they came finally 10
the cage of a very tame antelope.
which was the pet of all the Keepers.
Rake. broom, Sponges and buckets
were carried into the cage, and the
manager, without any idea of setting
an example, but merely as treat for
the antelope. brushed and sponged
;he animal. He then turned the in
strument over to his new man md

body stretched itself out at full length

The Cossack did his work thorough q
