Supt. Everest Charged
With Aiding Specu-

Supt. P. S. Everest, of the La
Pointe, Wis. Indian agency has
been charged by Indians over
whose affairs he has charge, with,
in substance, aiding a brewing
company to dispose of land to a
mem Der of the reservation who
has a considerable sum of money
in the hands of the superintendent,
and of being maliciously disposed
towards the Indians under his
charge who are not subservient to
his acts of injustice in their affairs.

EXPLANATORY.

The publisher of The IONA
HAWK, who refused to attend the
recent Bemidji General Council
either as a delegate or otherwise,
takes exceptions to certain State
ment made to the Council by Jim
Cofey, relative to the Mile Lac
case.
The publisher has been informed
that Jim Coffey stated he had dis
covered a scheme on the part OF
the publisher which the latter was
trying to push through Congress
secretly; that a bill had been IN
troduced through the instrument
tality of the publisher, and this
was contained in pamphlet that
the former held up to view in the
council but did not read; that 1t
was in fact great big steal.
For the Information of the Chip
pewas in general, and for the
Mile Lac Chippewas in particular
who will hardly need the explana-
ton, the facts are these: The pub
Usher, who was instrumental IN
securing a judgment:amo
fig to over seven hundred thous-
and dollars, has a balance due him
az fees in the Mile Lac case, and
there is also due a considerable
amount to other members of the
Cbippewa tribe and others either
a. witnesses or other services to
the Mile Lac Chippewas in their
suit against the government. The
publishers agreement with the
Mile Lac Chippewas was for ten
per cent of any property he might
cause to be recovered from the
United States or which be might
get for them, including allotments.
In1915 the General Council passed
resolution to pay the publisher
at the rate of $4,000 per year from
July 6, 1896 to December 81,
1914, in lieu of the percentage ne
should have received from the
amount of the judgment. In ad-
dition to this, the Mile Lac chiefs
and others who had worked for
twelve or fifteen years by going to
Washington for several months
every winter, were to receive COM
pensation for their time and ser
vices, and the General Council
allowed $4,000 per year for their
services, or 80 much as the Mile
Lac band and the executive CON-
mittee of the General Council
might decide upon not to exceed
the said amount.
Last January the publisher re-
ceived eighteen thousand dollars
from the attorneys in the case,
conditionally. This left a balance
of twenty-eight thousand two hund
red and ten dollars still due him.
And for the purpose of having q
bill presented in Congress next
winter the publisher prepared q
statement which contained a sum
mary of the services rendered with
a portion Of the correspondence Of
the Secretary of the Interior, the
Commissioner OF Indian Affairs
the Chippewa Commission, and the
attorneys who represented the In
dams in the Court of Claims, ane
other attorneys whose service:
were paid by the publisher on be
half of the Mile Lac Indians, ane
this was published in pamphle
form to be used in the future.

What makes Maud Adams the
most popular actress in America?
She is not beautiful. She is
equally delightful as ragged Gin
derella and as LADY Babby" in
her dainty costumes. She is not
Siddons or a Bernhardt. Her
place in the public heart is due
solely to her charm.
But how is this inestimable gift
of the gods to be acquired? Like
the kingdom of heaven it cometh
not by observation, nor is it to be
taken by violence. 1t exists only
as the reflected light from those
attributes of the soul-gentleness,
generosity, the love of things
lovely and noble. When you can
be a delightful companion to your
self you will be showered with in
vitations.
Laugh, because life delights and
amuses you, and every one will
long to laugh with you. This is
a world of wonders; get SO vitality
interested in something that you
forget all about yourself, and
then when you talk you will have
plenty of listeners.
You have created out of your
morbid imaginings this shy, SEN
sitive, stupid creature you call
yourself. Don't stop to notice it,
much less to fight with it; ignore
it. Be both too proud and too
vain to consider yourself anything
but a very pretty, intelligent at
tractive and interesting girl.
Don't allow yourself to imagine
that any one could presume to
snub you. And as for "being
bad" as you call it, that is a piece
Of Stiffness not worthy of your in
telligence. Don't throw away your
trumps for the low cards. Play
the game to win, and win all
along.

Henry could babble forth his
most sacred inner feelings withan
ingenious volubility that would
alarm a naturally reticent man,
and he could be baffingly secretive.
Tonight he was both and neither.
He was full of odd little spiritual
turnings and twistings-vague as
to the clock, intent on justifying
himself, submerged in a boundless,
bottomless sea of self-pity."
And that, by the way, brings
out two of the invariable symp-
toms of introspection-self-pity
and self justification. When one
starts to analyZe ones inner self
one can always find such ample ex'
cuse for whatever one has done,
and such lofty purity of motives
and aspirations, that one feels
cheated by the callous worlds lack
of appreciation. And, puzzling
over this, one naturally becomes
morbid, jaundiced, and miserable.
Let no one imagine that youth
full introspection conduces to hap
piness. And what makes it worse
is that, like seasickness and corns,
it arouses no sympathy. It ap-
pears in its most violent form gen.
orally from the fifteenth to the
twentieth year, in a series of re-
curing attacks. and usually begins
to disappear when one takes up
some actual business or occupa-
tion.
One of the most distressing
phases of it is that it engenders
self consciousness; and self-con-
sciousness is a deplorable afflic-
ton, thwarting every natural and
spontaneous impulse, and poison
ing the capacity for enjoyment at
its source. Here, for instance, is
a pathetic letter from a young girl
which is worth presenting, because
there are so many like her:
81 have a fair education, and,
while not handsome, am not home
ly, either" she writes. 81 always
try to be kind and good-natured
and pleasant to everybody, and, al
though l am by no means perfect,
l try to do what is right. Yet l
am not popular with either girls
or boys l like people and l want
them to like me, but somehow

TTJHEN, according to the
w old legend, inquisitive
little Pandora lifted the
lid of the box which she had been
charged not to open and thus
turned loose all the stinging, Bit
ing, buzzing troubles that vex and
worry poor humanity, there was in
the lot one particularly virulent
bug that, like the germs of whoop-
ing cough and measles, seems es-

name is introspection.
When the boy reaches that stage
of adolescence where he begins to
watch with eager expectancy the
downy growth upon his upper lip
and when the girl first commences
to do up her hair and to entertain
vague yearnings for a career, is
the time when each usually falls
a victim.
Nature is making momentous
changes in them, and unable to
understand just what is going on
they jump at all sorts of fantastic
conclusions to account for the un-
familiar emotions and the unrest
of which they are conscious.
