visited were two. the Mundurucus and
the Jiveros. who still keep up the
practice. One Of the trophies he
brought back for the University of
Pennsylvania was a collection Of four
belts made Of human teeth-the most
priced accoutrements that any Mum
durucu could possess. according to IN
Interview with DR.. Farabee In the
New York Sun.
As to the ethics Of head hunting Dr.
Jarabee says no self-respecting Mum
durucu or Jivero would go forth with
bow and arrow and stone Ratchet after
the head Of q national enemy because
Of the pangs Of hunger or the desires
Of trade expansion. Head hunters are
not cannibals nor are they ambitious
Tor aggrandizement. On the contrary
they regard themselves as lovers of
peace. But from time immemorial
feuds have existed among them, and
the only worthy method Of treating
their traditional enemies Is to seek
and obtain their heads.
When a head Is brought In by an
intrepid warrior the village prepares
to celebrate the exploit by assembling
around fire over which n potion
xivaling that Of the witches Of Mac
beth" is concocted. If it is a Mundu-
sucu village the head of the enemy,
after having been boiled to the re-
Quired tenderness, is smoked for its
preservation and the teeth are ex-
tracted. A three days dance Is held
In honor Of the victory.
The Jiveros. however, vary the
process by removing the bones from
the head of the enemy and shrinking
It to the proportions of big mans
fist This Is also preserved-an OBJ
5ect lesson perhaps for the rising
generation.
The belts testifying to the existence
Of head hunting are but small part

INTO the gTlmm6SUNLTdSeul6
Not a day passes in a human life
that at least a tiny smile does not
come chasing after the tears.
So it was yesterday, when the ter
rible story Of Alice had to be told to
Pat and I was feeling very blue over
my own condition, that little Mar
garet Ann handed me a smile.
I always bless the man, woman or
child who hands me, consciously or
uncOnsciOusIy, a smile, and so al
though I know your white pages will
Crinkle up a little, l am going to send
this one on to you.
Little Margaret Ann is going to be,
as Jim would say, some girl when
she gets a little older. She has all
the "diviI-may-care" of her fascin-
ating father and the quiclness and
personality of my dear Annie. She is
as pretty as only an Irish colleen can
be, and almost every day Annie rings
me up to tell me some Of her quaint
sayings.
The phone rang this morning and
Annie called me up. Dear Miss
Margaret CAnnie has never gotten
over calling me Miss Margaret), how
are you this morning."
VERY we'll, Annie, dear. You
know I am going soon to have dag
nOsis of my trouble by one Of the
greatest experts in the world"
Are ye now, me darlin'?" said
Annie sweetly in the bit of brogue
into which she always drops when
she is delighted.
Yes, dear, and if he says an OPP
Grafton will do me good I am going
to have it.
That's right, honey. I've said all
along to Tim that wished you would
have an operation.

his friends over here, a man that
comes often and whom little Mar
garet Ann loves.
THE men were sitting at the table
with a glass of beer and a smoke.
Tins friend had Margaret Ann in his
lap and was smoking a cigarette.
Margaret Ann grabbed some Of
the smoke in her little hand and pre-
tended to put it in her mouth. Her
father felt called upon to remOn-
strate and said, Come over here and
sit with me and don't We do that any
more
'She came dutifully to her father
and climbed into his lap and imme-
diately grabbed his glass and mis-
chievously PRETENDED to drink the few
drops of beer it contained.
Margaret Ann, said Tim in hor-
ritied tones, What are you dOing?'
and then turning to me he Numbered,
Annie, are you ever going to make
this child behave?'
" Now, daddy, you need not worry
about me- piped up Margaret Ann
in her most coaxing voice. I may
smoke cigarettes and drink beer, but
please remember I read my bible,
too"
Now, little book, isn't that human?
We expect what good we do to offset
the bad
Just as Annie finished, little Mar
garet Ann came in and evidently said
she wanted to talk to me.
How are you, dearest Auntie Mar

"Oh, I'm just fine I've got two
teeth out and my half-sox on and
am feeling bully"
I heard Annie admonish Margaret

MARTIN W. LITTLETON,
N Thaw's lawyer against Jerome,
started, like various other celebrities,
in log cabin. His especial log
cabin was in Tennessee, and there
were fourteen other children to keep
him company. Studying nights,
doing chores to pay an old German
schoolmaster for teaching him, he
patched together an education that
got him into a district attorneys
Office when he was nineteen. On the
way up he had been track walker,
bakers helper, and farm hand, all
of which must make excellent law
training, for in five years he was
practising in New York. and three
years later was district attorney for
Kings County.

Miller Women Hear
National Leader
(BY SUFFRAGE COMMITTED

(BY SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE)
Mrs S. V. Christ and Mrs w. II.
Waters were among the large audi
ence at Sioux Falls, April p, who
listened to the f~orceful address
given by Miss Carrie Chapman Gait,
national and international president
of suffrage associations.
Mrs Gait opened her address with
an expression of surprise that the
men of South Dakota had not long
ago granted women the vote. Re
calling the campaign of 1890 in this
state. the speaker tod Of the hard
work which the women did in the
fields as well as in the home. Even
then the women were asking for a
right to vote. but their demands
are considered fantastic.
1T is not because we want to vote
on any one election day or in any
one state" said Mrs Gait, "but it is
a struggle throughout the country
for the recognition that the women
belong to the people of the country.
Now, if women are not a people,
what are they? 1t is to secure the
recognition of the fact that a wo
man is a person. that she belongs to
the people, that we have this strug-
gle. Whenever the national gov
eminent makes it's income tax she is
a person; whenever it makes its
state and county tax, she is a per-
son; when she disobeys a law and
must pay a penalty, she is a person;
when upon a ship on the high seas
and that ship is torpedoed and her
life is lost. she is a citizen of this re-
public, and the public might even
be involved in war because a wo-
mans life had been lost on that ship
on high seas. and If Sc, a woman
dead is worth a good deal more of
dignity than alive in this country.
1T does not cost much to become
a citizen or get to he a voter if you
are a man. but if you are a woman
you cannot be rich enough, intelli-
gent enough you cannot give service
enough to your state to get it. In
various states there are very re-
stricted classes. The same number
are not restricted IN any two states.
In New York they will allow insane
persons, idiots and paupers to vote.
In most states they are barred. A
criminal may get a vote in any state
if he is pardvned; an insane man if
he becomes sane and an idiot if he
becomes rational. Now thew per
form operations on idiots, and the
moment they get a little sense they
can vote if the idiot is a man. but
the woman stands alone, a restricted
individual Disseminated against by
the various states or our country.
1t is our hope that this discrimina-
ton will be wiped out at our next
election
