Men Who Wear Feathers.

a NoNG the strange tribes of men
"a about whom little is known are the
Chamacocos of the region about the
upper Paraguay river.
Although the Chama cocos wear but
little clothing. they excel III the art of
making personal adornments from the
feathers of birds Their country
abounds with birds of the most beauti-
full plumage, including parrots, toucans
and trogons whose feathers are daz-
zling in color. rheas. with gray plumes,
musk ducks of a glossy black color,
ogrets with feathers of pure white, and
spoon bills of delicate pink hue.
All this wealth of color and graceful
plumage is combined by the Chama CO.
COS in d most artistic manner. Some of
these savages walk their forest glades
in colors more brilliant, if less ample,
than any woman's dressmaker could
produce.

onE SHIP TOO MANY

The Minneapolis Tribune right.
ly observes that the German ship
Prinz Eitel sank one ship too
many. The commander of that
vessel had a brave story to tell
when he put in at Newport News,
but there is one chapter in it that
is going to give his government
some trouble. In the first place, it
will have to pay for the American
sailing vessel. the w. P. Frye, and
its cargo. Beyond that it is be-
tween two horns of an interesting
dilemma.
If Germany was justified in
destroying cargo of foodstuffs
bound for an English port she
must abandon her protest against
Great Britain's acton in Selling
food supplies bound for German
ports. That was her excuse for
the war zone" and the submarine
blockade.
The incident may teach all bel
ligerents to be a little more care
full about interfering with neu-
trail ships: especially to be a little
less eager to engage in the cheer
full pastime Of sending them to
the bottom in clear violation of
the rules of the game.

REAPINo THE wHiRLNlN

Until the Anti-Narcotic drug
law went into effect the seventh
of this month few of us were
aware how many American dope
fiends we had. Neither did we real
ize the terrible struggle it would
cost those who have formed the
habit to quit the use of the drugs.
But now when they can no longer
procure heroin, morphine and
kindred drugs their suffering has
become so acute that they can no
longer hide their agony. Every
body knows who they are by their
desperation.
In the larger cities there are
thousands of dope fiends whose
condition is pitiable. 1t is estimat-
ed that in Chicago alone more
than thirty thousand persons had
become addicted to the use of
habit-forming drugs, and one day
last week the doctors of that city
met to consider what could be
done for them. Some of the doc
tors thought that very large per
cent of the users could and would
cure themselves, now that they
are deprived of tl.- narcotics, but
others disputed this.
1t is said that all available room
in public institutions is already
occupied by patients seeking to
be cured and aid is being sought
from private institutions also.
The users of the drugs are in
all stages of captivity. Many of
them are so gruff, irritable and
absent-minded at home, on the
streets and among their assoc
iates that their identification is
one of the easiest things in the
world. Many are so desperate that
they enter places of business and
demand the dope, and boisterous-
ly disturb the peace when they are
refused.
1t is said that no one on be-
ginning the use Of intoxicating
liquors expects to become a
drunkard, and it is not likely that
any of these dope flends ever ex-
pected to become enslaved by
drugs either. But they sowed the
wind and are now reaping the
whirlwind. What a fortunate
thing it was for those not yet en-
shared that this anti-narcotic law
was enacted!

mrs. ). D. ROCKEFELLER

Mrs. j. d. Rockefeller, wife of
the richest man in the world. died
suddenly last Friday at the coun-
try home at Pontico Hills, New
York. She was in her 10th year.
She had been an invalid for a
year, but during the last four
months her health had improved,
and her last illness carried her
off so suddenly that when
she died only her sister, Miss
Lucy M. Spelman, was at her bed
side. Her husband and her son
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., were at
Ormond, Florida, where they went
believing that Mrs. Rockefeller
was out of all danger.
When it is remembered that
her husband is one of the most
widely known men in the world it
must be confessed that Mrs.
Rockefeller led a life of great OBJ
security. However, she was wo-
man Of affairs and of business
sagacity, for Mr.. Rockefeller him
self is on record as saying: Had
it not been for my wife's business
sagacity and her clear insight into
affairs l would be a poor man.
In Mr.. ROckefeller's early ca
reer she took great interest in his
affairs and for a time kept his
books for him. It is said that she
has always been his confidential
adviser.
Her maiden name was Laura
-Celestia Spelman. She became ac-
4quainted with Mr.. Rockefeller in
the Cleveland grammar school
when she was little girl. Later
she was sent east to continue her
education, and after completing it
she returned west and taught
school in Cleveland. On Septem-
Der 8, 1864, when both she and
Mr.. Rockefeller were 25 years of
age, they were married.
Despite her husbands great
wealth Mrs. Rockefeller was an
American hostess of the old New
England type. She received her
few guests simply, making them
feel at ease at once. She took u

utter folly to perform again ma

ready been thoroughly tried out in
our country under very similar
conditions and found not only to
be failure but also to be ruinous
to ourselves.
Moreover there is little or no
danger of selling ourselves short
before the next harvest comes on.
With all the demand abroad for
our wheat there has been an av-
erase export of only about a mil
lion bushels a day. On January 80
the government reported that
there was still in this country a

WINGED Of the ineffectiveness Of it
as a means of retaliation against
France and England, and also Of
the fact that it was also rapidly
running our own country - the
worse of its two failures. 1t was
running our foreign commerce, Of
which we had great deal at that
time. But worse yet, it had ruined
and practically bankrupted our
agriculture. Even manufacturers.
the one industry which should
have been benefited by cessation
of our foreign commerce-be-
cause that would give it monop-
oily Of the domestic trade-had re-
ceived but very minor benefit
from it. One Of the last official
acts of the then President was to
repeal the embargo.
Thus our own history teaches
US the futility Of an embargo as Il
means Of solving our foreign pro-
blems growing out of our COM

dire Internal troubles would grow
out Of even a partial embargo at

farmers of this country injuries

expectation of foodstuffs at this
time would knock the props from

time, knock the props from under
the reviving prosperity Of all our
Industries.
No more serious error could be
made today than to institute an
embargo. 1t would fail in the main
purpose for which its sponsors
advocate it; it would simply cause
