wife Is Partner on Farm.

Mrs. +. w. Hatch OF the Lotus Won
ans club Of st. Louis recently read a
paper wherein, after picturing some
thing of the pioneer days and Indian
times in that locality, she told of the
wife OF a small tenant farmer, who
paid nearly all Of the farm rent with
the money from eggs and chickens
She and her husband began married
life with some small savings, their
hands and good health. Mrs. Hatch
continued:
"He realizes that she Is an able as.
sistant. She Is his trusted partner
and co.worker. but when they are able
to buy n farm It will be his farm, and
II no dies the man.made laws OF the
state will not give the farm 10 her, My
point Is this: That while the division
OF labor and responsibilities between
the farmer and his wife might indicate
n business partnership, the division OF
the fruits Of labor and q comparison

he strikes anything. The scientific prospector. studies the formations of 1 the surface of the ground to guide him to the gold deposits, and as a rule the latter is the more success full.
 Had it not been for Alfred Brooks. of the geological survey, the Tolo- vana camp would not now be known, and it might have been many years before anybody prospected there ! in a careful manner. But MT. Brooks had remarked that the formation there was promising. and this remark was remembered by those who orig 1 inally located the camp.
 It is for the purpose of aiding miners that the government spends so much money each year in a study of the geology of Alaska The bull letins issued by these experts are sent free to all who ask for them. and therefore the prospector is at no expense in getting the informa- ton that the government has prepar- ed for him.
 Scientific miners are geologists, but any miner or prospector can pick up enough about geology by studying few elementary books to assist him wonderfully in his work Most ;, in the winter time in which they can study geology and practical min ing, and by the knowledge thus gained and by the suggestions con- tained in the government maps and reports. they can do their work in "a systematic way that promises surer and more prompt reward than the average prospector who is ig- norant of the natural processes which have placed the gold in various places, can hope to receive
 There was a time when farming was conducted along the same care less lines as that which marks the work of many prospectors today, but by the aid of scientific methods an acre of ground today can be made to yield two or three times as much as under the old careless methods It is the same in all lines of endea vor. The man who uses his head and his hands together will always get the best results

Man Goes to Jail
 For 5O-cent Debt

LOS ANGELES.-That a little learning is dangerous thing was demonstrated yesterday, and R. H, Parks, A years old, chauffeur, is in the city jail charged with de frauding an innkeeper. He had de clined to pay for two twenty-five cent breakfasts.
 Parks and friend, whose name he will not disclose, breakfasted in a cafe at 647 South Spring street. The friend, it is alleged, agreeing to pay for the meal, but strolled away, and Parks was called upon to pay. He demurred and was detained.
 T am within my rights he pro- tested to police officer. "The law says a contract entered into in good faith by both parties is binding. The agreement between my friend and me was a contract He is the one who should be arrested.'
 Was the restaurant keeper pres ent when the agreement was made?'' asked the officer. Parks said no.
 Then the contract is not bind. ing" replied the policeman. Under the rule of evidence the agreement is void, as the interested party, the restaurant keeper, was not present So come to jail"

for days at a time breate over and over the foul air from their own breaths.
 In warm climates people would not seek closed houses. but in the far north the natural tendency is to keep as warm as possible. and unless someone stands over the In- dians and makes them observe the laws of ventilation. they will natur- ally disregard them.
 If this civilizing of the Indians had been slower, and they had been taught some of the laws of health before being put into modern houses. the process of extermination that is now well under way would not have gained ground.
 Plenty of money has been spent in Alaska, both by the government and the missions, to have met all the demands of the natives if it had been properly applied. But it is QuIle tNlutlll tldl lllt pcoplt "lIo have had the work of promoting the welfare of the Alaska natives in hand have been asleep when it came to the most important feature of their responsibility. and it is now up to the federal government to try to the best of it's ability to undo the mistakes that have been made in the past, and to teach the natives how to care for themselves.
 If half as much time had been spent in teaching the Alaska natives the simple rules of hygiene as has been spent in cramming into their heads useless literary studies that are of no practical good to them, there would be more of them living today The plan of caring for the natives should be first to teach the present generation how to be health full moral and happy. and to teach later generations such things as their advanced mentality will accept.

Original "One Hoss
 Shay" Discovered

PITTSFIELD, Mass.-The original shire Museum of Natural History and Art. The old chaise was pre- scented to the museum by Francis w. Rockwell, who owned it for many years. It was formerly owned by the late Amasa Rice, of Pittsfield, and his son. Robert A. Rice, has told Mir. Rockwell of Oliver Wen dell Holmes frequent visits to eX- anime the old chaise during his resi- dence at Pittsfield, lS4S-lS65, and it is believed that this is how MT. Holmes gained his inspiration for his famous poem. The One-Hoss Shay"
 MT. Rockwell writes that this chaise is over 100 years old It was formerly the property of Samuel Mckay, one of Pittsfield's first cit izens in his day, 1793-1S34 In the inventory of his estate, one item was One gig and harness, S130."

INDIANS NEED ATTENTION.

At last the federal bureau of ed ucation, which looks after the in terests of the Alaska natives, has hit upon the most vital issue i'll regard to the care of the Indians. The bureau recommends that the government take immediate steps 70 stop the disease that is rapidly eX- terminating the Indians.
 This is something that should have been done years ago. for undoubtedly tuberculosis will soon put an end to the Northern Indians if something is not done to stop it's rapid spread.
 If the medical experts are to be believed, it is the white men who have gone out of their way to aid and uplift the Alaska Indians, who are indirectly responsible for their high death rate at the present time Civ ilizing Indians, to be fully success ful should not be hurried. but should be worked out through series of generations, in such way that they can accommodate themselves prop erly to new conditions.
 The trouble in Alaska has been that the people who have been try ing to civilize the Indians have taught them how to build and occupy houses like those used by the white man but have failed to make the Indians comprehend, as do the average white men. the necessity of keeping the houses we'll ventilated. Before white men settled the country. the Indians were accustomed to live in abodes partially covered with skins. and which were automatically ventilated in various ways. The warm houses of the white man seem to have ap pealed to the Indians, who shut themselves in these new houses and

WORTH PRICE.

Our dealings were entirely with the stockholders and at the time We sold our stock it was worth dol lar for dollar the amount paid for it. If it wasn't they wouldn't have bought it. It was a perfectly legitimate sale of bank stock. We presumed that every man is free agent to buy bank stock or groceries or coal or anything else he may de sire. Six years later it is found that there may be a legal point against it. If it took the lawyers six years to discover it, how could we have known it.
 II have heard much about the law for the protection of the innocent purchaser; maybe there is law also for the innocent seller, II would seem to me unfair that should sell bank stock for it's legit- innate price and then six years later after an entirely different bank has been wrecked. somebody should step in and ask for the money back. Maybe this is the law. l don't know; I'm not a lawyer, but it certainly isn't justice. If the same scheme were carried out in the puchase of real estate or sailing vessels or ocean steamships, where would the intricacies of the commercial world end? Suppose that man bought an automobile and that later he sold it to d Nevada corporation and this corporation ran the machine over a bridge. would the man who sold the machine in the first place be compelled to give the money back?

citizens are former Seattleites; and our close commercial and financial relations have strengthened these bonds"
 The patronizing sentiments ex- pressed in this editorial are not of nature to win the good will of Alaskans The sentiments of the editorial are to the effect that Se- attle's relationship to Alaska is that of a parent to child, which means that the child must ask for what it wants and has not the self-will or the ability to think and act for itself
 While the people of Seattle have done much to promote the welfare of Alaska. it is certain that what they have done has been with a view of being repaid for it in a financial way. A horse is fed and cared for because it's owner finds it profitable to spend time and money on It. put when the morse ceases lO be a source of revenue, it is soon disposed of by the average owner and as quickly forgotten. In the same way, Seattle is promoting the development of Alaska, but it is quite certain that if Alaska held out no promises of future revenues, the peo- ple of Seattle would be no more interested in the development of this territory than in the welfare of Cuba.
 Seattle is nearer Alaska than any other Pacific port of importance, and for that reason has profited more than any other city by Alaska s prosperity. And by reason of her location Seattle can expect to get the bulk of the trade from this Ter ritory. provided the people there do not continue to antagonize the Alaskans by treating them as in ferors. instead of giving them credit for having good sense of their own

OUR coUNTRY's BIRTHDAY.

Few times in the history of the United States has the Fourth of July had so much significance as it has this year, owing to the fact that this is the only truly great nation of the world that is not at war, and to the further fact that we have tried in all the years of our history to live up to the doctrines of human rights that were outlined in the Dec laration of Independence.
 In the Declaration of Independence it is asserted that governments de rive their just powers from the con sent of the governed If this senti- Europe. il is quite certain that the nations now at war would still be at peace. and that many thousands of ruined homes would still be unit ed and happy. Indeed. if the consent of the governed had to be obtained before war was declared. wars would almost certainly be abolished
 It is true that even in the United States the people do not vote on war policies before they are declar- ed, but the government here is of the people and for them, and they are closer to their official represen- tatives This is probably why the United States has never waged a war for the purpose of selfish con quest.
 For long time the common peo- pie of all lands have been learning to look upon our country as a hu- mane institution, which has for it's purpose the protection of the rights of the individual. If We can keep out of the great European conflict which it seems We are certain to do under the wise judgment of our federal officials. this feeling of re- spect for our government will un- doubtedly be strengthened.
 Flowery oratory is not needed to awaken the keenest pride on the part of every true American citizen today. A glance at the flag and a little serious contemplation of what it stands for will be enough to cause him to thrill with pleasure and pat rotism. For our flag is the sym bol of good citizenship and is never used as a signal for homage to any man or woman claiming superior rights than those enjoyed by the hnm hlaSf Amarican
