Early Indian Agriculture.

When the white men first arrived In
this country they found an aboriginal
population mainly ~sedentary and agri-
cultural. The Indians were mostly
farmers, peacefully disposed and dwell
ing In villages. Predatory and unscrupu-
lous. after the manne of his kind, the
intruding Caucasian drove them to war
and forced them to adopt a rowing and
unsettled mode of existence.
Corn was their principal crop-a &C.
real unknown to Europe. How ex-
tensively they grew 1t may be Judged
from the fact that in i IS the British
destroyed 10000 acres of maize plant
ed by the Senecas.
The Indians Of pre-Columbian days
pursued agriculture or a cooperative
plan. Large fields Of corn were made
up Of hundreds Of individual fields.
The squaws stirred the fruitful earth
and planted the grain. At harvest
time the men and boys helped to gath
er the ripe ears.

When Lawyers Strike.

Lawyers, as well as policemen. have
been known to strike. Some years ago
the barristers practising in Sierra
Leone were so dissatisfied with the
Judge who was acting as substitute for
the chief justice while the latter was
on leave that they unanimously elected
to give up pleading before him. Legal
business In the colony was. therefore.
at a standstill until the chief justice
returned. France. too, affords an in
stance Of a legal strike. One Of the
judges at st. Armand accused the local
lawyers of deliberately promoting dis
putes in order to All their pockets with
fees. Thereupon all the lawyers In
court departed In a body. declaring
that they would not return until this
insulting statement had been with
drawn. Eventually the Judge apollo.
gized. and the lawyers resumed prac-
tice.

SET THEIR MINDS AT EASE
Cases Are Numerous Where Wrong
doors, After Many Years, Make
Restitution to Show Regret.

The sting of conscience Is not al
ways dulled by the lapse OF time.
There is no more bitter penalty than
to spend ones life with an accusing
conscience, no more unpleasant mem
Dry than of q wrong done. That Is
particularly true where II Is In the
power of the individual to repair the
wrong, to show by restitution that re
greet is real.
Conscience money Is frequently re-
ceived by Individuals and corporations.
There may be times when payments
come from individuals who are mental
~ afflicted, but IN many cases where
payments could be traced back they
were made to cas- an accusing con-
science, to right a wrong Of years ago.
There are other individuals who do
not use mystery. but who come out In
the open and pay debts long since out
iawed, many times forgotten. There
are stories OF these beiated payments
frequently printed. the last n coming
from. North Dakota, where a mar paid
. debt nearly thirty years old. He not
only paid the debt. but he paid interest
to date and cleaned the transaction up
as a man ought to do.-Ohio State

WOOL CONSUMPTION
FELL SHORT IN 1919

Consumption of wool in the United
States in 1919, was 49, 00. 900 pounds,
or fifteen per cent less than in 1918,
he bureau of markets announced in
its yearly wool consumption report.
The decrease was confined wholly to
The medium and coarse grades, the
report showed, the decrease in these
grades offsctting a marked increase
in the consumption of finer woods and
a slight increase in carpet woods.
The total consumption in 1919,
amounted to 627.00 0 900 pounds,
grease equivalent, or about five and
lhree-fourths pounds for every man,
woman and child in the United States.
Massachusetts, leads the states in
assumption with 226, 185, 627 pounds.
he decrease in consumption is at
.ibuted largely to the lack Of demand
.or coarse wooden textiles, the war
inhalation of 1918 and the inactivity
Of the industry In early 1919.
OF the wool consumed in 1919, forty
light per cent was domestic and fifty
wo per cent foreign, compared with
'orty per cent domestic and sixty per
:ent foreign in 1918.

WIDE DIVERGENCE in RACES
Something Of . Study for the
EthnoIoQist.

The presence of two distinct races
Of man In the Pacific islands suggests
two periods and sources of immlgra-
ton. says a bulletin of the National
Geographic society. The Papuans and
Polynesians appear to show the widest
d~ivergences, with the Micronesians oc-
cupylng the intermediate ground and
possessing affinities Of race, language.
and custom with the other two.
The Papuans may be generally said
10 inhabit New Guinea, the Solomons,
New Caledonia and Fiji. They are
irr eligious. democratic, quarreisome,
cannibalistic, and hostile to strangers.
They paint their bodies rather than
wear clothes, cook In earthen pots,
and their speech consists Of a num-
Der of broken dialects. The Polynesi-
ans differ widely from the Papuans.
They possess an elaborate religious
system, an established order Of he
reditary chiefs and well-deined So
cial castles. They are fond Of dress.
are friendly to strangers, are good sea-
men and navigators. and tattoo instead
Of scar their bodies, and seldom prac-
tice cannibalism. They also possess
q common language, understandable

TONOPAH COMPANY
STORE A FAILURE

At a special meeting of the Tono-
pah Trades Assembly, a protest was
made against the announcement of
the removal of the fifty-cent bonus
~ the Tonopah and Divide Mine OPP
orators Association, to take effect on
February s. according to the Tono-
pah Bonanza.
The report of the assembly is in
part as follows: "As the commits
sary was started in the hope of re-
ducing the high cost of living, which
we are willing to admit, it did re-
duce the cost of living at the opening
on January 5. 1920. But there has
been a sharp advance in the price of
goods during the month it has been
in operation, and everything tends to
show that there will be a greater ad-
vance in future.
after a thorough investigation we
find that the single men of Tonopah
district derive no benefit whatever
and the benefits derived from the COM
missary to a family of four could not
exceed a saving of twenty-five cents
per day, per family, as proven by
actual experience through purchases
made exclusively from the commits
sary."

WERE sTICKLERS FOR DIGNITY
Of First Congress Regarded Them
selves Very Seriously.

It is curious to note that the FIRST
of American congresses vas much
more jealous of it's dignity and it,
fair fame than were most of Its sue
cessors.
An ancient record owned by n
Cleveland man shows that in the
summer Of 1776 one Arthur Thomas
chased to his home for saying "ye
congress be damned! !" At about the
same time seven Philadelphia trades
men who refused to accept the new
continental currency, authorized by
congress, were proclaimed enemies OF
the protesting colonies and cut of
from all trade or intercourse with the
community.
Then a loose-tongued Tory, a prom
inent man In the most prominent city
In America. spoke profanely of con-
gress and wished the continental pow
der wagons would blow up-and was
rushed to Jail to save him from the
indignant mob of patriots.
These and divers Others" says the
old chronicle. "were taught to hold
civil tongues In their heads, and they
were taught. too. that the men OF the
colonies were in deadly earnest and
those who were not with them were
against them. and would perforce be
regarded as enemies and treated as
such. And In time they did grow o
careful"

found Its way into the "Hagodah." the

people. After the service Is owe and
the dinner eaten, the father sings
aloud. The Only Kid" with his chill
dren following him. Then he trans
lates 1t into English or Yiddish for
those Of the family who do not under
stand Hebrew.
"The Only Kid" tells Of a kid eat
en- by a cat; Of a dog which bit the
cat; OF a stick that smote the dog
of a fire that burned the stick. Then
II tells Of water that extingulshed the
fire; of an OK that drank the water;
of a butcher who killed the OK Of the
angel Of death who killed the butcher.
and finally Of God who killed the
angel. The legend is supposed to rep
resent Israel's trials. with Israel cast
as THE Only Kid" and the butcher,
the cat, dog, fire and the stick as his
~tormentors. who are In turn killed by
God.
1.-THE Only Kid" has a swing and lit
to 1t resembling "The House That Jack
Built" which gives rise to the belief
that the latter Is copied from 1t. Some
say the Jewish legend is an old Ger
man ballad sprung from n French
song.
