OVERORAWN? PERHAPS,
hNJ THEN PERHAPS NOT
There Are Those Who Might Think
the Pale Face More Reprehensibe
Than the Red Skin.

In the days wnen lariat was more
useful than can opener in securing
the family dinner, the noble red men,
wards Of the nation, were accustomed
to have a ration day once month on
the reservations. The beef herd was
driven to the agency and guarded by
U. s. Cavalry. AS the name of the
head of each tepee was called, the red
warrior mentioned wiped his nose on
his blanket, uncoiled his rope, kicked
his skinny cayuse in the ribs with his
moccasined heels and slammed his
meat for the next month onto the
bosom of Mother Earth.
In fifteen minutes the steer was
slaughtered, the pots were boiling and
the meat was sizzling over the Goals.
The pots never ceased to bubble nor
the Goals to sizzle until the last bone
was gnawed. Every member of the
family down to the latest ,fiea-bitten
dog felt that a duty had been neg.
lected If shred of meat remained UNI
eaten at once. Then they went back
to diet of roast prairie dog and rat
tlesnake stew until next ration.
That's why the noble red man had
to be ward of the nation. He would
neither save nor look out for the fu-
ture.
Thousands of pale faces are emulat-
ing their red brothers every pay day.
They rope their pay envelopes, drag
them to the nearest fire and proceed
to burn them up. The rest Of the
month they live on the expectation Of
new pay day. The Indians were
wards of the Government. They knew
that there would be another ration
day, but there are few white men now
adays who are absolutely sure of what
the next pay day will bring forth.
II they conserve the payday ration
by setting aside part Of 1t and in
vesting it In War Savings Stamps,
Treasury Savings Certificates or Lib
erty Bonds, they. need not worry what
the next pay day will bring forth. BY
that very action they become in q
measure wards Of the Government.

Valuable coconut By-Product.

number of oil-eXtracting plants
have been established in the United
States and Europe to handle copra,
because 1t has been discovered that
the pulp left after the cocOnut oil
has been extracted is very valuable
stock food and can also be used as a
fertilizer, and this by-product COM
mands good price.
AS stock food 1t compares favor
ably with gluten feed, though 1t con-
tains less carbohydrates and more
fat, ash and fibre. The oil is used for
many purposes, including cooking or
for salads, the making of fine soaps,
etc.
There are at the present time In the
Philippines approximately 100000
bearing coconut trees, producing
nearly 1.000,000OO0 nuts per annum,
of which 9OOO0O,O0O are made into
copra. A coconut palm will yield
from % to 80 nuts each year, and
they are taken from the tree, when
fully mature, about once every three
or four months. The nuts are collect
ed In piles near the drying or smOk-
ing sheds and the outer shell or fibre
is torn away from the hard shell OF
the nut by means of tool similar to
the plowshare. The nut is then split
open with large knife or bOlo, and
the halves, with the meat exposed, are
placed over fires on racks constructed
of wood, and are allowed to remain
there until the meat drops from the
shell. Where sun drying is practiced,
the halved nuts are allowed to remain
subjected TO the suns rays for pc
riod of about six days, or until the
meat lo0sens from the shell.

PREY ON IGNORANT KOREANS
Mutangs, Claiming to Have Supernat.
uraI Powers, Make Good Living
From Those They Victimlze.

The Korean mutang, or mudang, Is
sorceress who is considered the low
est of the low in the social system.
Though generally married, she is al
ways an abandoned character pretend
ing to be sort of spiritual medium,
able by her friendship with the spirits
10 influence them as she may wish.
The ceremony performed by mutang,
without which her services are of no
avail, is called "kut," there being
ten different forms of services that
can be performed by means of a kut.
The service most in demand Is that
OF driving away the hungry" spirits
Of disease. These spirits come around
the door when people are eating, and
IL they are not thrown a morsel OF
food they will hold a grievance against
the diners. When a man, by some
such mischance, contracts disease,
he sends for q mutang, describes his
symptoms and asks what spirit 1t is
that is causing it. The mutang usu-
ally names some spirit, says that he
must see the patient, and names a day
on which to hold the kut
During the ceremony the mutang
dances about nears the patient I'M
til she has worked herself up to a
perfect frenzy, her auditors believ-
ing that the spirit has taken posses
sion of her body. She screams out
the name of the spirit that has come,

WHAT LYNCHING LEADS TO.
Has Been Tolerated i'm Many States
by Weak Knead Officials.

Many people who are considered
ing habit. If man is credited with
having committed some atrocious
crime, they promptly say he should
be strung up to the nearest telegraph
pole. They would never take hold to
do it themselves. But they help
create a sentiment among the rough
er elements, in behalf of taking
justice out of the hands of law and
the courts, and executing il off hand
by the mob
If you can lynch man for murder
or rape, some people will soon De
1ynching him for chicken stealing. If
you can take the law into your
hands for one crime, you can for any
crime. Its logical result will be that
the mob will ignore the courts and
proceed to carry out their pleasure
under all circumstances.
If they don't like a man, they will
order him to leave the town, will
beat him up, and wreck his business.
All classes of society will be affect
ed by the spread of this spirit. 1t
will lead corporations to ignore the
law, and win their points by bribery
and corruption. 1t will lead labor
unions to defy law also, and get their
way by violence.
Lynehing has up to now been
tolerated in many states by weak
kneed officials. 1t is a satisfaction to
all who believe in law and order, to
see how many public men are taking
firm position against these lawless
elements. Among those who have
shown fine spirit in this matter is
Gov. Morrow of Kentucky, who re-
Gently defied mob, and maintained
the right of the courts of the state
TO perform the function for which
the people elected them
The American people have seen
enough of mob spirit They will give
their hearty support to public Off
Gals who stand on the principles that
when the people made the law, they
intended to have it obeyed.

Good Teachers a REQUISITE.

The boy who would become chem
zeal expert has much to learn, observes
writer in Boys Life. Thorough
technical education Is necessity
such an education as II would be prac-
tically impossible to obtain outside Of
good technical school. The field OF
chemistry is so wide and complex that
no matter how much ability and in
dustry a student may have he cannot
get very far without the help Of good
instructors and a proper equipment
Cor experiment. An intelligent young
fellow working in an Industrial plant
may acquire by his own efforts linn
tied knowledge of the particular field
of his work. He will he competent to
carry on the work so long as no new
problems arise; then, however. limited
by his narrow knowledge Of the
science, he will be quite helpless.

French Villages Americanized.

yltrimont, adopted village Of a
group Of California cities, is one of the
first of the hundreds of French devas-
tated towns TO be entirely restored,
according to report of the American
Red Cross. The ancient Gothic church
of the town has been replaced by a
modern stone structure which, while
In conformity with the best traditions
Of French taste, nevertheless presents
in its broad caves suggestion Of Los
Angeles. Likewise, the reconstructed
Marie" or town hall contains fea-
lures which are reminiscent of some
Of the most classic outlines of San
Diego structures. Other buildings In
the town were said to be representa-
tive of the architecture of San Fran
cisco and various other California
cities.

Mans First and Last Things.

One of the first things a child wants
to do is to get its hands on lead
pencil and make some zigzag marks
on Il sheet of paper, which it lispingly
tells its happy mother is a letter to
daddy. About the last thing an old
man thinks of doing is to get an old
stump of lead pencil and trembling
ly make notes for his lawyer, indicat-
ing to whom he wants to will his prop
erty.

Mems Riuhts

Mems rights are a great deal Of
trouble to them. They assert them,
and get them, and then they don't
know what to do with them. A mans
rights, half of them, are meant TO
give away. The beatitude Of
your rights is, they are your benev-
olences. You can yield them, give
them away. And the law of social
unity is this law of assertion of a
mans individuality, and the use Of
that individuality as a benevolence for
those that are round about him.-Hen-

Washinston's Political Faith.

Washington was a Federalist, and a
strong party man AT that, but he was
unanimously elected to the presidency
by the Federalists and Democrats. He
was also the unanimous choice when
running for reelection. John Adams
was vice president under Washington
and succeeded him in the presidency.
There was contest, however, in 1896
between Adams, Federalist, and JEFF
ferson. Democrat, in which the former
was the winner.
