Once year the Pueblo Indians of
Tabs, New Mexico, hold an election
at which they choose a governor.
The method of voting is for each
Indian to give his candidate a stick.
The man with the most sticks is
elected. Afterward a foot race is an
event.
By reason of this annual election,
the Taos Pueblos have been generally
given credit for maintaining a Re-
publican form of government. AS
matter of fact, the real power back
of the governor is the Cacique, who
is an hereditary monarch. He and
the chiefs appointed by him really
rule the Pueblo with a rod of iron.
The Indians have absolute control of
quite an area of rich valley land, and
also one wild timbered canyon These
lands constitute in effect a tiny mon
archy on American soil. The amount
of land each Indian may cultivate is
determined by the administration.
Every evening the governor shouts
from the roof of the Pueblo instruc-
tions for the whole tribe. Not
stick of timber may be cut, not even
g. root dug, without his permission.
Not long ago a lady living in the
nearby village of Taos asked a Pu-
eblo squaw to get her some "amole."
This is the root of the Spanish bayo-
net plant and is greatly priced by
women as a hair wash. The squaw
explained that the time for digging
amole had not yet been announced,
but that she would try to get it.
1t was ten days later when she re-
turned, and she did not bring the
amole. She was pale and her face
showed the effects of suffering. She
explained that she had been given
thirty lashes and ten days in Jail
for digging amole root without the
permission of the governor.

FRED T0NEY WINS TWENTY
GAMES AND 81. 900.

1t was former pitcher in the de-
funct Blue Grass League who first
made the record of winning twenty
games this season, and the gentleman
who copied bonus of one thousand
beans for this exploit is Fred Toney,
of the Cincinnati Reds. Manager
Garry Herman promised this little
present to Toney, if he won twenty
games before the end of the summer,
after the long boy had played in hard
luck all last season, and not only did
Toney come across, but he did it right
handily, as said before, reaching the
twenty-wins mark before any other
pitcher in big baseball. Alexander is
next with nineteen games and Cicotte
the leading pitcher in the American
League, has eighteen notches on his
gun.
Tony is we'll remembered in Paris,
where he was one of the best pitchers
in the good old days when Paris could
afford baseball team, and before the
Blue Grass League had persisted.
Toney broke into the game as pitcher
for the Winchester team.

THE PURPLE FLASK.

One by one they shook hands with
him and wished him luck. He left
the place with Minna, whom he mar
ried that night, and the next morn.
ing he left her, taking the purple
flask with him.
He thought her love for him would
give him courage to perform the ter
rible task ahead of him-but does
love weaken or strengthen a man
who is about to give his liberty, per
haps his life, to "cause?"
That is the theme of Gouverneur
Morris story, ''The Purple Flask
which begins in September Cosmo-
politan.
This is only one of the features
that makes September Cosmopolitan
one of the greatest numbers of the
greatest magazines in America.

New York Evening POst.)
In old, old times, on the highest
peak of great mountain, there
dwelt hunter and his five sparkling
daughters. Their lodge was of bright
betuia bark, and on clear days they
could see the distant ocean flashing
like a silver band. Come out! Come
Quit" cried the youngest daughter,
the little Err. Come Su! Come HUI!
Come Mi! Come CIa! (The names
stand in order for Erie, Superior, HUI
ron, Michigan and st. Clair.) Let us
away to the sea, where the foaming
breakers roar!" So they left their
lodge and leaped and sang with hap
py hearts. Their robes were of blue
and chrysolite green, and f1oated on
the breeze. Their moccasins were OF
frozen water drops and their wings
of painted wind. And they scamper-
ed and roamed across the plain, or
floated beneath the sky, or rushed
past valley and hill and field, sing
ing and shouting with glee. At last
they came to a precipice of jagged
rocks and moss. "AlaS!" cried En-.
what a dreadful leap! But but we
have come so far that we must go on,
or our father will laugh at us! So
come Su! Come HUI! Come Mi! Come
Cha! and follow mel" So over the
steep they sprang, and floated down
on their painted wings. They leaped
and they sang like happy-hearted
birds. Then the little Err cried, LET
us up and down the steep again!"
And up and down the five maids
skipped and laughed at the sport and
foam and called 1t Niagara Falls,
And to-day, through the rainbow
mist, you may see their robes of blue
and chrysolite green, and their paint
ed wings and their twinkling feet.

Woman State Labor Inspector, have
warned the local merchants and citi-
zens of Paris in regard to the law
prohibiting employment of child

business public to the fact that it is
contrary to the law for children I'M
der fourteen years of age to be en-
ployed in any public business without
special permit. No cases of violation
of this law have ever been reported
here, but the warning is intended as
a special reminder in view of the ap-
proach of the regular school terms.

The men who deal in figures, report
that the above number of pOrkers
died during the past year from dis
eases. 1t does not take an expert to
show that this big number of hogs,
taken off before they were ready for
the market, means that the farmers
of the United States lost something
like $5O,OOO,00O in good hard money.
Of course, the farmer who is ap-
preaching so, grew up when hogs
were so dirt cheap that there was no
use of trying to save them If they
happened to fall sick. He has not
thought about this big problem as
he should Now that the world is
short, very short, of meat, this loss
is big in money and it is big in loss
of food which is needed. Each far
mer should use every precaution to
keep his herd we'll. He should also
have a veterinarian see them the
moment they are the least off feed or
ailing.
