 FEARING.
Indians and Buffaloes Almost Extinct-American Indians Fast Becoming 4 Dead Race and Very Few Buffalo
 Left.

| The American Indian will soon
 exist only in history. His eXter- imitation has been gradual, but
 will be sure. He has gradually been driven from his happy home in the east to few barren reservations in the west, where,
 by amalgamation, dissipation or separation he is fast becoming extinct.
 The Redskin has always been one of the most picturesque as
 well as cunning of the races. He is quick of perception, fleet of
 foot, loyal to friend and un-
 yielding to an enemy. There are
 many other things that make
 the Indian interesting to people who know very little about them CT their habits. Even at this ad- vanced period there are many people in America who have neV- CT seen an Indian.
 The Buffalo from which the
 Indian secured almost all his supplies, is also nearly extinct.
 Once the vast herds had almost undisputed title to and posses sion of as many thousand miles of miles as the Indians had to their hunting grounds. Count less millions of these monarchs of the plains roamed over the west, but today they can be counted by some few hundreds. ] With KIT CARSON'S BUF-

Charity has two meanings, but the

kindly know only one of them

And, girls, know how you loathe
charity, because l know how I abhor
it myself. l must tell you something
to illustrate the sort of charity" you
will receive. -
In an Office where was employed,
there was atchange of management.
The new manager was very wealthy
In the past we had received a $3.50
gold piece q know it would have been
50.cents if so cent pieces were coined
in gold) each Christmas. But this
man said that such money gifts were
impersonal, and he wanted HIS en-
ployes to know he took personal in
terest in them.
1t was awfully touching almost as
touching as the tales your employers
told me. remember, being very
young and very impressionable at
that time, that believed that at last
had met a real man.
BUT the personal touch consisted
of the gift of magazine which sells
for so cents a year, or did at that
time, and when we had thanked him
at Christmas for the SO cents worth
of personal interest and thought we
had finished with servility born of
charity" we found it was not so.
The subscriptions came each month
addressed to him, and he had the
sweet pleasure of making us thank
him thirteen times that year for
50-cent gift.
And that is what they will do for
you. Each and every day you will be
made to understand that if it were

Bodies Still Uncovered

Columbus, o., April ALL that hu-
man effort could accomplish today failed
to penetrate the part of the debris
piled in the wese side where 1t is be-
lieved many of the bodies of persons
missing since the flood of March rs
finally will be recovered. As matters
stood tonight, however, eight more
bodies had passed through the morgues,
running the total of dead in that sec
ton up to II.
In addition to this number was the
body of James Nj. Kearney, merchant
who was drowned several months ago
and which, cast up by the flood was
found lodged In a tree when the wa
ters had receded. That many other
bodies will be recovered after the army
of men employed in the work has at
tackled the great pile of debris made at
several points by wrecked homes is
generally conceded.
Just how many will not be known
for some days. The property damage
in Columbus, like the death list Is
confined principally to the west side,
the business manufacturing district
havig gone almost unscatcneo.
Hundreds of men were at work to-
day attempting to recover other bodies
that are supposed to be buried under
the huge pile of wreckage in the vi
cinity of Greenlawn cemetery.

ton work, Mr.. : atterson said:
AT a meeting of bankers and officials
OF the building associations this morning,
1t was decided to make an appeal for
federal aid. The banks and building as
sociations have $50, 100000 worth OF assets
which they will put up as collateral. 1t
may be deemed advisable to ask the gov
ernment to give us some financial assist
ance. We feel that the disaster is an
emergency which would justify extraordi-
nary action on the part of Congress-
Since Sunday more than s750ooo in cash
has been received from banks. in Cincin-
natl to replace damaged money in local
banks which will remain closed until

night estimated that the proprty loss in
