FOR INDIAN,
ABOLITION OF BUREAU
Secretary Lane Makes Sug-
gestion of Radical Change
in Governments Policy.

The 1ndia Il should be set free and the
Indian bur should be abolished, in the
opinion O. Secretary Lane of the Interior
Department, who has written a letter to
Representative Scott Ferris of Oklahoma
respecting the proposed investigation of
the Indian service by a special commits
sion. The Secretary feels that the gov
eminent has no consistent policy. either
as to legislation as to administration
touching Indian affairs.
Secretary Lane believes that there
should be a permanent commission be-
cause it is his opinion that temporary
commission could do little more than I'M
earth the various matters Of scandal in
the several agencies.
Suggests Change in Policy.
"This commission" the Secretary said
in his letter, should be given such DOW
ers as will permit it to decentralize the
administration of Indian affairs. allowing
greater authority to competent well paid
agents in the field.
Il am atistied from what examination
/ have made that there are tens of thou
sands of so-called Indians whose property
to a greater or less degree is under the
control of this bureau who are as com
petent to attend to their affairs as any
men or women of the white race. There
are thousands OF others of the half
blood who are an expense to the govern
ment, who should not be regarded as
dependent, but who should be given their
property and allowed to shift for them
selves.
Full-Bloods to Remain Wards.
1.-The mature full-blood Indian who is
without education or the ability to care
for his own affairs must remain a ward
in our hands. The children of these In
dams, however, should within genera
ton be a part of the American people
living outside of reservations and taking
up the burdens and responsibilities Of
all other citizens. Their education should
be such as to bring this result about
and end the bureau

mental. To deal with this matter ade-

Overnight Relief
for Constipation
A Small Dose on Retiring
end You Are Well and
Happy by Morning

It is only natural that the simplest
of ailments should be the most gen
eral, and so we have a whole nation
suffering from constipation and indi-
gestion, for they are closely allied. But
common as constipation is many peo-
pie do not seem to know they have
it. They will complain of headache,
drowsiness or biliousness, all uncon-
scious of the cause of the trouble.
You should have full and free
movement at least once a day. If you
pass a day you are constipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
cold easily or have a more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a
dose of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morn
ing relief will come, without disturb
ance from sleep or any inconvenience.
Legions of people use it regularly in
such emergencies, some of them form
erly chronic invalids who have suf-
fered from constipation all their lives.
Mr.. A. B. Danner, 326 Riley St, Har-
risburg, Pa, says; "Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin gave me almost instant
relief from stomach and bowel trout

Come up!" Jailed Burgess. ''fiurTyl
It's the smallpox The daFned hook
er's rotten with it. For God sakes,
come quick!"
He ran ia the rail, yelling orders to
Bill and Thopb, who were frantically
busy with the dory. Ellery began to
climb the ladder. His head emerged
into the clean, sweet air blowing
across the deck. He drew breath to
the very bottom of his lungs.
Then from behind and below him
came the voice again.

The minister stood still, his feet on
the ladder. The three men by the rail
were working like mad, their faces
livid under the sunburn and their
hands trembling. They pushed each
other about and swore.
Thoph and Bill sprang over the rail
into the boat. Burgess turned and
beckoned to Ellery.
Come on!" he called. What are
you waitin' for?"
The minister remained where he
was.

If HE WERE A RELATIVE
Observance of Colored Man Really Of
fered Some Good Ideas for Worthy
Reflection.

An official of one of the departments
at Washington says that while going
to his luncheon one afternoon he saw
military funeral passing down Penn
sylvania avenue. AS the pageant
passed the official was standing on the
curb, hat in hand, and noting with in
terest the reversed arms, the flag
draped coffin, and the riderless horse
behind some one touched him on the
elbow and said: II hope you'll ex-
cuse me, boss, but would you min tell
in me whether the dead soldier was
anythin' to your"
why, no." answered the official,
smiling in spite of himself, as he
turned and beheld solemn looking
darby of perhaps sixty years of age.
excuse me again, boss" continued
the negro, but you kinder looked that
sorry / thought mebbe he was some
thin to you"
"He was brave soldier" answered
the official.
The darby said. nothing tor mo-
ment Finally, with sigh, he added:
Wouldn't it be gran, boss, mournin'
for man like that, s'posin' he was
somethin' TO you?"

climbed the ladder TO the deck and
walked over to the rail- As he ap-
preached, Burgess fell back few feet,
"Thoph,' said the minister, address
ing the pair in the dory, there is a
sick man down in the forecastle. He
has been alone there for hours, | sup
pose, certainly since his shipmEtes ran
away. If he is left longer without
help, he will surely die. Seine one
must stay with him. You ar1 the rest
row ashore and get the S;~ator and
whoever else you can. III stay here
till they come"
Thoph and his companions set up a
storm of protest. 1t was foolish, it
was crazy, the man would die anyhow,
and so on. They begged the minister
to come with them. But he WAS firm.
The oars dipped, bent, and The dory
moved off, The sound of the areaking
tkole pins shot chill through Ellery' S
veins. The water butts stood amid
ships, not far from the open door OF
the galley Entering the latter he
found an empty saucepan. This he
filed from the cask, and then, with it
in his hand, turned toward tile black
hatchway. Here was the greatest test
of his courage To descend that lad
der, approach that bank, and touch
the terrible creature in it, these were
the tasks he had set himself to do, but

Premsr,,re Burial.

NJ Thoinot, professor OF forensic
medicine to the Paris Academic de
Medicine, has been lecturins upon
premature burial, an accident the fear
of which is. perhaps, not so prevalent
as it was in the days OF Edgar Poe.
He gave an interesting description Of
the many inventions devised for the
avoidance of this, including the inser-
ton of breathing tube in the mouth
OF the corpse, which is brought
through the lid of the coffin and pro-
jected from the grave. But he declared
that no precaution was so satisfactory
as that of delaying the burial until
the signs OF putrefaction are apparent

which ordain that no burial shall take
place until twenty-four hours after
death and inspection by the medical
