INDIAN HAD SENSE OF HuMoR
At Least Enough TO Get on Good Joke
on the cross-Examinlna
Lawyer.

From Fenimore Cooper and other
authorities we have gained the i'm
preston that the Indian is a stolid,
severe individual, with no sense of
the white mans humor, but one red
brother showed himself quite civ
ilized joker the other day in the Unit
ed States court at st. Paul. He was
a witness in a hotly contested case.
and lawyer was after him in the
most approved style to cast discredit
on his testimony. After apparently
frightening the Indian with the awful
consequences which would follow the
slightest deviation from the truth, the
lawyer solemnly said:
Now, sir, want you to tell me the
exact truth, without any shufliing or
evasion. want you to look me
square in the eye and tell me how you
get your living?"
The Indian looked straight at the
lawyer and, with that grave air ia.
miliar to all acquainted with the red
man, simply said: Eat"

ST. oenieve.

st. Genevieve, the patron saint OF
Paris, was consecrated at the age of
seven to the service of religion by St
Germanus, bishop of .Auxerre, who
chanced to pass through the village of
Nanterre, where she lived, about four
miles from Paris. She acquired a
great reputation for sancity. The
church of St Genevieve, completed in
1854, was named in her honor. Dur
ing the revolutionary period 1t was
withdrawn from the service OF relig-
ion and called the Pantheon, but was
afterward restored in name and to
ecclesiastical uses.

CITIES HAVE GREAT FUTURE
Ports on the Coast Bound to Grow
Enormously as the country's
Wealth is Developed.

Seattle on Puget sound in 1918
cleared for foreign trade ships with
3,05s,504 tons tonnage. New York alone
leading IL and New Orleans coming
third. At the present time, says the
Christian Science Monitor, there are
80 deep-water ships in Seattle's char
Dor loading for foreign or Atlantic
ports and due to make the passage
through the Panama canal. A con-
siderable numerical and high tonnage
proportion of these vessels are Amer
ican owned and fly the stars and
stripes. They indicate a mounting
volume of business for the port and
for the region of the country of which
II is one OF the several doorways to
the outer world: so that when the
statistics of 1914 are compiled the
city's relative rank will not have
changed What will be disclosed prob
ably will be its supremacy on the Pa
ciflc coast and its lead over most Of
the Atlantic and Gulf ports.
The natural resources of this city
as port of entry and of exit were ex-
ceptional prior to deliberate planning
by citizens for their use. Equally so
were the potential stores of wealth
in the vast hinterland which the rail
ways focusing Seattle tap. But when
the nation set about linking the At
lantic and the Pacific at Panama, and
when the citizens of Seattle created
a port commission and began devel-
oping the harbor and providing ter
minals then a new day dawned, and
the results are now apparent; and not
the least Of the gain is from growth
of the port as a place for transship-
ment Of goods billed through to Asiat-
&c ports. West-bound cotton and east
bound silk symbolic a double current
that flows in and out and out and in.
And as for lumber, the Pacific slopes
are under attack to provide heavy
timber for the world, now that exports
to the Atlantic coast and to Europe
have the Panama canal freight rate.
What is true of Seattle also is true
of Tacoma, Portland and Vancouver.
Seattle's pre-eminence is in degree and
not in kind. All outlets of this enor-
mously rich region of the North Amer
ican continent are bound to grow rap
idly under altered conditions of bust.
ness. conditioned by the interoceanic
short cut and by economic changes
following the present war. They also
will profit by coming development OF
Alaskan resources under restrictions
that will insure growth of population
in territory and retention there of a
larger proportion of its wealth, hith
erto so largely falling into the hands
of transients and absentee owners oI
properties.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
 SHOW CHRISTMAS
 SPIRIT WITH VIM
Dr. Phillips Enlists Them in Unique Plan to Help Spread Festive Spirit
 Among Poor

Christmas spirit is already loose in the Birmingham schools. Not the kind that manifests itself in a gradual letting up in work and an increasing pressure of hiIarity ready to break out at the slight est provocation, or without provocation at all-not that; this is different.
 Dr. J. II. Phillips is behind or at the head Of. or in the center of. a move ment in which there are enlisted with him more than 25,0OO boys and girls. The plan of this movement Is to make. through his youthful and enthusiastic allies, a collection of toys, dolls. picture books, wearing apparel, garden tools and house. hold utensils which may be broken, out of repair or useless in the homes of the members of the student body. It is proposed by the schools that their manual training departments repair as many as possible of these articles so that they may be made usahle and dis tributed among the destitute and needy of the city.
 The principal hospitals, veterinary and otherwise, which are to have charge of the making over as good as new of one- armed dolls, peg-legged jumping jacks and
 
 be the Central High school, Junior High school, Ensley High school, Martin school and Barrett school.
 A committee of teachers and members of the District School Improvement asso- citation will be appointed in each school by the principal, who will prepare lists of needy children, or families, with ad- dresses and description as to color, sex and age which committees will have charge of the distribution in it's own as- signed district
 pr. c. A. Brown, principal of the Gen. tral High school, yesterday outlined the plan to the teachers and appointed Miss Hudson to have direction of the work there.
 It is further planned that special Christmas contrib ution wall be made by all the schools for the benefit of the anti tuberculosis cause. Teachers and pupils will aid in the sale of Red Cross seals. The seal sale will begin December 10.
