ASSAY ON INDIANS

The Indians were the first "coppers' in this
country.
Indians are best known as red skins" by all
travellers who have been stung on their Navajo
blankets.
To this day the Indians great trappers; wit
ness the way they trap tourists into extortionate
prices for hand-mud pottery
The Indian is a wonder woodcraft as is evil
denced by his skill in padding dug-out
The need of bark for canoes accounts for the MANY
hat starved dogs always round the Indians camps
The Indian lodge is world famous Its members
are known the T. P's
The Indian depends much on the Ratchet 1t cuts
out his beaux trims his arrows; in fact the axe is
very useful in general This is why he never buries
the Ratchet long.
He is a great smoker AS he can only nuff his
peace pipe at the conclusion of a scalping bee he
often declares war to enjoy little peaceful smoke
Our bird of prey is the bald eagle. The Indians

As to disposition the Indian is great warrior

PERSONETTE
BY NlkSAH
Ernest Thompson Seton


The man who writes animal stories,
looks like a wild animal himself, said
one of his most ardent admirers re-
Gently. And this is really the highest
compliment his friend could pay him,
for she is a great animal lover too.
He is large man with lots of shaggy
hair and keen eyes, eyes that can
recognize a bird as far as he can see
it in the sky or can follow track in
the woods where the ordinary unalert
human could see nothing
He lives in the middle of the woods,
near Greenwich, Connecticut. His
house, barn and garage We're planned
and partly built by himself, and fit
into the background as perfectly as
any of the homes of his woodland
| friends. They are charmingly irregu-
lar buildings that happened naturally
rather than through much planning.
Mr.. Seton believes in the beauty of
perfect naturalness. He prefers homes
built for the greatest comfort in liv-
| ing, rather than eXcrescences on the
| landscape designed for some myster-
ious architectural effect. He prefers
natural pine rather than imitation
mahogany.
Mr.. Seton is boy enough to enjoy
making something of game of his life
| For instance on his cellar steps he has
painted skulls and crossbones. They
are not to scare children and timi(
servants who might object to tn,
spookiness of such decorations in /;
cellar. Rather they are to illustrat,
and constantly remind him of hi
favorite motto.

The waiting tendency was even more

To begin with, there was little in

Nr. SchWab's Latest Outbreak

TRADING PROFESSIONAL

New York. Sept 16.-The Now York
Evening Suns closing financial review
oday says:
If it had not been for some spcctac-
rlar performances on the part of Ger
tain Spccialtics. today's stock market
would have been an altogether quiet
4nir and one of interest only to the
professional traders.
Nothing happened to change Wall
streets ideas concerning the labor sit
uati0n but. of course. the outside pub
lie has become very cautious. and while
there has not been of late any diSpOSi-
ton to throw holdings overheard there
is always an alert eye open to paper
profits.
The opening was higher and trading
in the first hour or so was fairly large
in volume, but because Mr.. GOmpCrS re
fused to talk about the strike or the
possibility of it Undertaking. next Mon
day, according to schedule, the shorts
took courage and began selling, which
served as a signal for those who had
profits on paper to realize on them.
But this proved but n passing mani
fcstatiOn of nerves and at midday the
list again hardened. Mr.. Schwab' S
latest Outburst of optimism aided in
bringing this about, as did the drop in
call money rates.
1t was refreshing to have Mr..
Schwab's dictum displaCe that of Mr..
Gompers if only momentarily, although
it might not be easy to find everybody
preparpd to follow him to the full
length that the country is ION the thrcs-
hold of the greatest era of prosperity in
our history.
The marked decrease in treasury eX-
penditurcs so far this month, the eager
ness with which subscriptions to the
two now issues of tax certificates of six
and twelve months maturity were pour
ing in, the feeling that recent events in
Boston have given a very black eye to
radical labor union elements and the
conviction that there will be no steel
strike, at least not until after the in =
dustrial conference next month, were
factors of importance in affording ef-
fcctivC support to bullish sentiment.
II is scarcely to be expected. however
that these factors can be translated into
heavy public participation in market
trading until something more definite
comes from labor headquarters. Tile
conservative leaders are working as
yiduously TO COhtrol the radicals, and
while this is of the utmost significance,
the signal Of their success beyond per-
adventure alone is wanting to com
pletc satisfaction to the point of action.
