Twenty-seven years ago settlers at
Olympia, Wash, made a treaty with
the Indians allowing them to fish any
where and at any time, says Commerce
and Finance. Now the state game
laws prohibit them from thu sport dur
ing the closed season.
Saluslzin, big chief Of the Yakimas,
with a number Of other Indians, after
protesting In vain to the local game
wardens, went to the city to protest
against the violation Of their rights.
Imagine a chieftain, 90 years old.
straight as an arrow, yet half blind
and enfeebled, entering court room
IN modern city. This man had seen
the victory Of civilization in its strug-
gle against the wilderness. He had
seen his race pass control Of the land
to the white race. Still believing In
the honor of the white man, he came
to protest against the infringement on
a treaty made a quarter Of century
before.
Saluskin was informed by an inter-
prefer that the district attorney could
not change the state game laws.
"Hoh !" was his only comment.

Woman Frozen to Ground.

During cold snap last winter
Mrs. John Baker of townsville took
a bucket of hot water and went into
the yard to clean the concrete pave
ment. She splashed the water around
and used the broom vigorously, when
suddenly she realized she could not
move. She made determined efforts to
move her feet, and experienced fear
full cold chill as thoughts of paralysis
flashed into her mind. She screamed
loudly for help, and her husband, who
came running, found her shoes were
frozen to the pavement.
With a vigorous jerk he yanked her
loose, almost pulling her out OF her
shoes. 1t was a thankful wife he led
into the house to warm her feet.

would be toys-but they would not be
store toys. In fact, the children would
invent and make great many OF
them themselves. Dame Nature would
lend hand, and you could help bit,
too There is no doubt that children
must have toys of some sort-it Is
the very cry Of their little souls. NE
cessity is the mother of invention" SO
with dire necessity staring them in
the face-a pressing demand with no
supply-they would begin to invent.
Moreover being the work Of their own
little brains and hands, such toys
would more easily please. Simple
minded and contented types of chill
dren would once again be the rule, not
the exception. What has the nursery
piled high with the latest and most
expensive toys produced? Nothing
but that contradiction of nature-the
child with nothing left to wish for!
What is there to stimulate his brains
or his imagination? Everything has
been thought out and imagined for
him. No wonder at the age Of seven
or eight he finds life Stupid" But
with nothing to play with would come
the wonderful idea of making some
