SAFEGUARDS OF ToRRENs
SYSTEM.

The last place where anybody who
wished to forge a mortgage or a deed
would go, would be to the Torrens sys.
tenn to operate it. Every possible
ccheck is used in the Torrens system
to prevent frauds.
"First-When the initial registration
takes place the owner of the property
must sign sworn application. He
states his age, his address, whether
he Is married or not, the name of his
wife, his wife gives her consent to the
registration, her signature being given
before a notary public.
"Second-A card index is kept at the
Torrens Office, where the owners sig
nature is filed and used for reference
on any occasion, to check over the
genuineness of the owners signature.
All notes and trust deeds are marked
with an Identification stamp and num-
bered; that is the same number is
stamped on the trust deed that is
stamped on the principal and interest
notes, with name Of registrar.
"Third-No deed or trust deed will
be accepted at the Torrens office until
it has been checked over, signature
verified, etc.
"Fourth-No release deed will be-
come effective until it has been &C.
cepted at the Torrens Office. All the
Cancelled notes must be brought in and
marked paid and Cancelled and shown
to the registrar. Not until then will
the release be effective.
Under the old system, however,
there is every opportunity to practice
a fraud, if person is so disposed,
which may be illustrated, as follows:
"A forger may forge trust deed and
note, file trust deed Of record, unknown
to the actual owner OF the property;
having the abstract brought down to
date showing the mortgage on the abb
stract, and there is no way of identi-
flying the genuineness of the signature
OF the owner. The mortgage may be
sold to an innocent purchaser, the
title may be good and yet the pur-
chaser of the mortgage be swindled
out OF his money and he has no way
of knowing it until it is too late.
Another illustration. A dishonest
man who is in the mortgage business
and who appears as trustee in trust
deed may release that mortgage un-
known to the owner or the holder of
the mortgage and forge other mort
gage papers, first filing release of
the Old mortgage, which has never
been paid, and then sell the bogus
mortgage to an innocent purchaser
who has had the abstract examined.
which apparently showed good title
and thought he was buying a mort.
gage that was first lien on the prop,
erty."

ers. If the Indian baby for no assign
able reason insists upon crying the In
dian mother does not rush to her child
and wear herself out in attempts to
pacify it, but, on the contrary, after
satisfying herself as well as she can
that nothing ascertainable Is hurting
the fractions little one, she is accom-
modating enough to let it have its cry
out. In this way the Indian baby Is
brought, perforce, very early in life to
the conclusion that crying for the fun
OF the thing is altogether too profltless
an undertaking for any right-minded
infant to persist in.
The wardrobe of the aboriginal little
one is as scanty and simple as that of
many white babies is extensive and
complicated, just strip Of cotton cloth
wrapped around and around its body.
1t does not take an Indian mamma
many minutes to dress her child and
bind 1t to the board or basket that
serves it for crib. This done, board
or basket and baby can be set I'D
against the side of the house or any
convenient support, to the great relief
of the mother, who has the use of her
hands for some other necessary EN-.
ployment.
The care of the baby is quite as SIM
pie and sufficient as its dress; it re-
Quires little besides dressing, feeding
and bathing. 1t is given nourishment
at stated intervals, and bathed, when
convenient, in any pool or stream near
at hand.
The little Injuries that appertain to
the bath of the white baby are con.
spicuous by their absence. The gar
ment is removed, and as mother Ma
ture looks on and smiles approvingly,
the little rogues, laid in the shadows
of a stream or pool, kick and splash
about and disport themselves, while
their mothers, seated near by, watch

or a truth it is fortunate that our
liberties have been handed down to us
by our forefathers, If for no other rea-
son than that nothing in the world can
be so battered up as an heirloom and
still look respectable. Several of our
liberties are to that degree worse for
wear and we should scarcely wish to
have them about, only for the flavor
OF antiquity which clings to them; and
they are liberties. too, of such import
ance that if they were banished alto

Little Indians at Home

Real Indians still exist in the West.
There is large Indian reservation
just over the Colorado line, in Utah,
and at every deer season, when large
parties Of the bucks wander from their
own firesides to successfully defy game
laws and game wardens, many squaws
come to the Eutah house at Meeker,
Colo, peddling Indian baskets, bead
worked moccasins and the like. They
bring their babies with them and set
them in the rigid supports to which
they are fastened, sometimes as many
as dozen or fifteen in row, leaning
against the side OF the house, upon the
Veranda, while the squaws visit their
customers. do not know of better
place or opportunity of learning what
child and mother life among the In
dams really is, or how the little red
boys and girls are cared for and train.
ed, than this place affords.
The contrasts that are shown in
such matters between mother care in
white families and in Indian families
are very interesting. Anyone who has
had the opportunity of often seeing
Indian children must have noticed
how seldom they cry.
The average little Indian is graver
and more sedate than an ordinary
white child, which fact is to be attrib-
uted, indeed, to training, rather than to
inheritance, Packed away in an elong-
ated basket woven for the purpose, or
with even less elaboration or appara-
tus, strapped to a board where it must
perforce grow straight, where it can
neither excite itself by the kicking and
sQuirming and holding the breath or
creep about on the lookout for trouble,
1t necessarily acquires an amount of
serenity and contributes not little to
the serenity of Its parents or caretak.

over them and chat with each other
to their hearts content. The bathing
completed in this labor-saving manner,
each papoose, supported by its piece
of cloth tied about the middle of it's
small body is hung up to dry upon
some branch or bough in the immedi-
ate vicinity, while the mothers resume
their briefly interrupted gossip.
When child is old enough to begin

in and out the paternal teepee, like
the puppies which areehis companions.
He is naked, unless he needs protec-
ton from the cold; and he can without
discomfort endure much colder wealth
e, than ordinary white children can.
The fondest desire in the heart of the
indian parent Is that the child shall be
courageous and self-reliant.
The boy is never whipped; for that,
according to Indian belief, tends to
break his spirit and make coward
of him. Nevertheless, Indian children
are respectful, obedient, and retiring.
They keep their corner in the home,
and do not mingle in the conversation
Of their elders.
The daughter. like the white girl,
learns her mothers arts by practical
attempts under the mothers supervi.
sion. The arts and occupations Of both
sexes are few, and the process OF &C.
quiring an education ia neither q long
nor difficult one.
One lesson-a difficult one-is taught
Indian children of both sexes; and that
is to endure necessary pain in silence,
without fiinching. A teacher In an In.
dian school writes:
"a little girl had her fingers smashed
off recently in the cogs Of the mangle
Of our laundry. She never uttered o
sound or complaint about the pain"
There is, however, one serious de.
feet in the Indian character, despite
what Fennimore Cooper and others
have to say about it land it Is seen In
old and young alike). He is not CRATE
full for kindness shown him. An In.
dian noes not appreciate favor. If
you give him piece of bread to-day,
he will tomorrow ask you for two
pieces, and the day after. will want
coffee as we'll, and will be greatly Of
Tended at refusal. One Of the most
difficult things to teach the little In.
dams in the Indian schools is to say
THANK YOU"
Another very common mistake peo-
pie make with regard to Indian char
acter, Is the idea that Indians have no
sense of humor; that they always stalk
solemnly and silently about, and sci.
dom If ever laugh. But anyone who
has visited on friendly terms an In
dian surrounded by friends or family
in his teepee, knows better.

short course who made such an eX-
cellent showing during the week.
Pres. James T. Byrnes is deserving
of much praise as is also w. C. Rol-
Inns, secretary and general manager,
who by virtue of their Office have per-
haps been more active in the work
than any others.
Schools Take Active Part.
One OF the pleasing features of the
short course was the" fact that the
schools of Crawford county tok an
active part in the weeks work. The
county superintendent's office in the
court house was set apart for the
school exhibit work and nothing at
tracted more attention than did this
display. One entire room was filled
with interesting exhibits of the work
of Crawford county school children
and Supt. F. n Olry tells us that
never has the county had better dis
play than at this time. Here was dis
played furniture made in the manual
training department of the Denison
schools that would compare favorably
with that manufactured by the best
manufacturing concerns in the coun-
try. The rural schools sent in many
interesting exhibits which were indeed
a credit. The school children have
taken a keen interest in the short
course since it was announced and
many days were spent in preparing
the exhibits sent in No doubt next
year the display will be larger and
better than this year.
Spelling Contest.
On Friday evening the members Of
the rural schools to the number of
thirty took part in an old-fashioned
spelling contest, which was held at
the Germania opera house. The opera
house was filled to overflowing for
this event. A list OF one thousand
words had been prepared by County
Supt. F. N. Olry, which was put in
every rural school in the county in
order that those who wanted to enter
the contest could get familiar with
them. Miss la Glascock, of West
Side, won first place in the contest,
not missing single word. and re-
ceived SIS and a ten dollar scholar
ship in the Denison college. The
prizes were so liberal that twenty-five
of the thirty who entered received
prizes. Those receiving prizes were:

A $4,000 OPERA
HOUSE ASSURED
Company Of Leading Germans Formed
TO be Known as German
Opera House Company.
OVER $4,000 NOW SUBSCRIBED
Two Store Rooms and Opera House
With Seating Capacity of
1000 People to be Erected.

In recent issue of the Review
mention was made of rumored ac-
tivities toward the erection of a new
opera house. At this writing plans
have so far matured that we are able
to tell our readers something defin-
ite concerning the new enterprise.
A company of prominent Germans
in Denison and immediate vicinity has
been formed, to be known as the Ger
man Opera House company, and
meeting will be held in the near fu-
ture, when officers and directors will
be chosen. 1t has been definitely de-
cided to build an opera house block,
and last week an option was signed
with julius Soenksen, in which that
gentleman agrees to sell his property
on Broadway and Main street for the
sum of $16,5O0.0O. The option expires
March 1st. 1t is proposed to erect
building containing two store rooms
and opera house with full basement.
The lobby of the opera house will be
between the store rooms and will have
an entrance of thirty feet. The store
rooms will each be 21x40 feet and the
opera house will be 6Ox124, with
seating capacity of 1000. 1t will be
modern in every way and as near fire
proof as it is possible to build it.
There will be eight boxes, four in
front and four in the rear, the main
floor and first balcony. 1t is planned
to have eight or ten exits, and a fire.
proof drop curtain; all shifts and
stage settings will be of non-com-
bustible material. The stage will be
S0X60 feet in size and plenty of room
II reserved for a suitable orchestra
pit.
The basement of the opera house is
to be used for club room purposes and
will consist of kitchen, diningrooln
and dancing parlor. The basement
under the store rooms is to be occu-
