M. ]. Bentley, business agent for
the tribe. says Johnny Mines real
name was Mah-Qua-Che, which
means Leaning Tree" He repre-
sented the Kickapoos in all nego-
tiations with the government. Mine
had often proved more than match
for crafty whites who had designs
on the Kickapoos. He had been to
Washington number of times and
on such trips always wore Prince
Albert coat and high silk hat
A peck OF corn will be buried at
his head to sustain him until he
reches the happy hunting ground.
There, say the Indians, will be much
food awaiting Johnny, for during his
long life he has killed a dog each !

FOR BETTER MANHOOD.

Before The war the PROPOSE
tion that universal military
training was good thing for
American youth was hooted at
by pacifist and Missionaries and
was condemned as I'M American
undemocratic and savoring of
militarism, says an exchange. 1t
would have been thought. had
these objections been logical.
that the war itself, with all its
hardships and horrors, would
forever put quietus upon the
suggestion. Instead of that, the
idea has grown and won favor
and the revelation of the despi-
cable character and unworthy
motives of most Of those whose
voices were lifted against it has
gone far TO convince the Ameli-
can public that there must be
something worthy about the
scheme.
The fact is that a strong sen
tIAent in favor of training and
destruction in military form has
developed and many who for
merly opposed the idea are now
its strongest advocates.
It is urged upon public favor
from three viewpoints. namely:
for public safety, for better man
hood, and for the growth Of
stalwart democracy. 1t is a meas
IRE of public safety, for, what

istent with human nature. A

THE BLOODY HAND.

Anarchy and destructiveness,
the outgrowth Of the untamed

Just now at home and abroad.
Real or imagined injustice OF
lack Of consideration by the gov

tation either in fact or imagina-
tion by firebrands, are the chief
causes of most Of the upheavals
and evils that attend them.
While thinking men hesitate
before taking steps at this point
in the revolution OF our present
society. men who think little and
who dare much are taking ad-
vantage Of every opportunity
offered to set their red seal up
OIL the world.

called bolsheviki in others !

Young Isaac stood in line at the

his turn came he asked respectfully,
ePlease give me Miss Alcott's Jew

The young lady looked puzzled.
"A book by Miss Louisa M. Alcott ?"
"Yes," reiterated Isaac, her Jew
book.
Can you remember the title?"
No; but It's her Jew book" he
insisted
We'll, I'll read over some of the
titles of her bokos to you, and per

This increase is only partly accounted for because of
higher cost for materials, higher wages necessary to

creased cost of every item essential to the extension
of the service to the people. These conditions, cou-
pied with the fact that large appropriations had to
be made to replenish the Sinking Fund, made the tax
rate increase imperative.
