EoRsE THAN THE SLIPPER
Punishment Melted Out to indian
Boys Certainly Of the Most Siren
uous Nature.

Ny grandmother had u children,
and one uncle undertook to teach me
the art of worship. He used to lead
me to the sand banks of the Missouri
river, where he would set fire to pile
Of driftwood. and then, taking me by
the hand, sing sacred songs to the fire
and river. In the meantime he threw
into them offerings of tobacco, red
feathers, and sometimes oak twigs.
never knew the meaning of these offer
lngs, but always felt that some living
thing actuated both the fire and the
river. Another uncle came to visit us
periodically, and every time he came
my brother or / suffered at his hands.
Sometimes he would rush to the spring,
carrying me horizontally under his
arm, and would plunge my head into
the water until I almost suffocated.
His common form of discipline was to
let me hang by my hands on the cross
poles of the wigwam until my arms
ached. My body writhed before
dropped. This uncle seemed to like
best to command my older brother to
tie my hands and feet with rope.
Then he would order me to resist-an
ordeal that would make US both cry.
In the winter he would also sometimes
roll US In snow naked. The punish
ment of Indian children is usually in
the hands of some uncle rather than
the parents. Our punishments were
inflicted generally because we had dis
obeyed grandmother by failing to get
wood at evening, had resisted fasting,
had fought some Indian boys, or had
cried without sufficient cause.-South-
ern Workman.

GOOD WORD FOR DANDELIoN
tematic Cultivation of Yellow
Flowered Plant.

1t is astonishing to most of US to
learn, from an authoritative source,
that our annual supply of dandelion
roots comes chiefly from Germany.
Austria and France. BY the way, who
started the notion that this highly dec
orative yellow-fowered plant should
be banished where the owner makes a
pretext of a well-kept lawn?
Well, dandelions were made before
lawns, and, luckily, they persist in
aourishing. The leaves supply us with
early green's" and the roots with
somthing renowned incidentally as
good for the liver" But why should
our truck gardeners stand idly by
while the makers of drugs import tons
of dandelion roots every year from
Europe?
For the same reason, very likely,
that American sugar beet growers buy
or did, before the war-their seed
from thrifty and enterprising German
and French farmers. For the same
reason that we have been sending good
money to Europe for many another
necessity that we might have produced
ourselves without waiting for a world
war to cut off the supply.
Just what the reason is it might be
hard to say. Probably a part of it is
something we overlook when we boast
of our national sheer
laziness.-Providence Journal.

BANKERS EXPECTED TO ARRANGE

Material Formerly Supplied by Ger
many to be Purchased by Norway
in the American
Market.

New York.-Four Norwegian bank
ers arrived here Sunday on the Nor
wegian liner Bergensfjord to make
credit arrangements for the payment
of huge sums for material purchased
in the United States. One item alone
is S200,000,000 for steamships con-
structed in American ship-buildine
yards.
These gentlemen in their interviews
on arrival very carefully insisted they
were not here as a commission, but
as individuals. Other passengers
however, declared they did form a
commission.
William Rose, Boston banker, whe
was on the same vessel, returning
from a trip to Norway, said:
1T is up to the American bankers
to get busy at once and establish
credit banks in Norway. This can't be
done too quickly"
There were also on board the Der
gensfjord seven Norwegian captains
They are here to take Sver 4 large
