scientific zoology, for instance they
realized that the ground mole belong

They were we'll versed in anatomy,
knowing the use of every smallest part
in the human or in the animal body.
They even knew that a human being
has an appendix.
And among these Indians there
were as yet no serious wars, though
youths in adjacent tribes sometimes
had quarrels. Among the Indians, as
among white men, two or more ardent
youths sometimes loved the same
charming maiden. And this among all
races is rather pleasing to the maiden"
Tribal Warfare.
DR.. Beede traces the tribal war
fare that thinned out. the ranks of
the Indians and pitted one tribe
against another as unnatural enc
mics, to the advent of the Spaniards
into Mexico with black slaves. The
Spanish ~conquerors found that black
slavery was expensive, and they there
! fore began to substitute the Indian
for the negro in their mines, cattle
and horse ranches, fields and shops
The Spaniards with their artillery
conquered the Indians, and sold goods
and wares to the tribes, who in turn
sold them to other tribes the goods
penetrating even into the far north
west. Near the mouth Of the Cannon

for trade of this kind and Indians
from the north and the south met and
exchanged intelligencies, folk lore

ton. They snapped dances, music

slavery began, started by the Spani,

Indians to capture slaves for Spani.

RESTRICTION OF IMMIGRATION,

! Al, new bill has been introduced in
the. senate for the restriction of immi-
~Egration. 1t is fathered by Overman of
North Carolina and is much more
drastic than the one passed by the last
congress and vetoed by President Taft,
That bill was passed I'VE the veto by
the senate and barely escaped enact
1aent by concurrence in the house.
The strongest objection to the for
rner bill was the application of the IL
literacy test, but the Overman bill
goes much further in other respects.
The head tax is increased to SO for
each alien Immigrant landed on Amer
can shores, which must be paid by the
vessel bringing him, thus adding to
the cost of passage.
The provision against bringing any
under contract for employment after
arrival is supplemented by making it
unlawful to induce or assist immigra-
ton by advertisement or printed rep

ployment circulated in foreign coun-
tries.

Spare the rod and spoil the child"
into the scrap heap by latter, day edu-
Gators and parents, out there are signs
that the discarding Of the admonition
has proved the truth Of the apllorism.
What would have been thought a
generation g of a strike of school
children? In the last few years this
method of expressing disapproval has
become so frequent as to cause no sur
prise. Instead of the teachers running
the schools, in some instances the pu-
pills have to be- reckoned with, almost
as one houseSof a legislature recognize
es another.
1t is not that the ends sought are
not highly desirable, for in some cases
they doubtless are; but the school chill
dren are not the ones to take the mat
ter in hand this way. Parents should
be alive. to the situation and by joint
efforts bring about needed reform.
At East Grand Forks, Mimi, recent
ly the pupils took sides in a controv-
ersy between the superintendent Of the
city schools and the principal Of the
high, school. The principal was paIp-
ably in h wrong, in fact was charg-
Ped with marking the pupils higher than
they deserved. Naturally the pupils
sided with the principal against the
superintendent. The school board took
a hand as they should and promptly
SNllaINhpS the Gfri1Sn 1oniHinr with th@
superintendent.
In Pittsburgh thousands of school
children ven on strike because of the
retention of he superintendent, who
was accused of immortality. Last week
a thousand students in a New York
school went on strike because they
were not allowed to buy lunches out
side the school and because they did
not like to sing the "staid old songs"
the school restaurant being wrecked
in a riot. Again last week there was a
strike in a grammar school at Cam
bridge, Mass, children between the
ages Of 8 and IA refusing to study until
the school hours were fixed to their
satisfaction. police officers were nee
essary to subdue their ardor," says a
dispatch.
A week G Thursday, in Boston, a
police guard was placed in every gram
mar school district to quell a strike of
pupils against a two-session day. On
the previous night hundreds of pupils
paraded n smashed windows gener-
ally, following which the police order
ed all parading stopped. The superin-
tendent, after the excitement had sub
dued, stated that vigorous measures a
home had helped quell the disturbance
Some boys, who tried to keep Others
from entering a school, were soundly
threshed by the teachers. which had
an excellent effect. according to re-
ports.
One Of the of ATTENDING
school is for the boys and girls to
learn to profit by the discipline and
methodical routine. The child mind
cannot, in the nature of things, grasr

minds trained to guide it. Perhaps g

NEW POSTMASTER-GENERAL HOPES
TO ESTABLISH ONE-CENT POSTAGE

Albert s. Burleson. the new post
naster-general, faces many intricate
problems in connection with the
operation of the post Office SYSTEM
throughout the country.
According to those well posted In
Washington, he comes well qualified
for this position. Postmaster-Gen-
eral Burleson is a native OF Texas,
and was educated at Agricultural
and Mechanical College, Baylor Uni
versity, and University Of Texas.
He was admitted to the bar in 1884;
was assistant city attorney at
Austin, Texas, from 1886 to 1890;
attorney Of the twenty-sixth judicial
district from 1892 to 1895, and was
a member Of the 56th, 9th, 18Th,
seth, Goth, 61st and 62nd congresses.
He has been a deep student OF postal
affairs for many years.
One of the important matters
which the postmaster-geneTal viii
be called upon to deal with will be
the establishing OF one-cent letter
postage. He has indicated TO repre-
sentatives Of the National One Cent
Letter Postage Association that ne
heartily favors ona-cent letter post
age, and hopes to bring 1t about just
as soon as q satisfactory adjustment

town was utterly abandoned in 1881. A
part of the people went south to the
Pawnee country, then after a three
year sojourn they returned to North
Dakota by the Black Hills route. Like
the drove from Noah's ark, they were
now seeking a place for the pitiful
remnant to live in safety. I have seen
people who made this journey, and
some Of them are alive today, living in
