Indian Dies at 1877;
Oldest in World
Pneumonia Kills Minnesota
Chippewa Who Took
Eight Wives and
Liked Jazz

a-be-nah-gewn-wonce cWrinkled
Meat") also known as John Smith, a
Chippewa Indian reputed to be 137
wears old died at Cass Lake, Mlnn.,
last week, after weeks illness with
pneumonia.
The United States Bureau of In
dian Affairs, the American Scenic
and Historic Preservation Society and
other historical societies interested in
this famous aborigine, accepted the
claim of Ga-be-nah-gewn-wonce and
fellow Indians on the Minnesota res
ervation he was ''the oldest living
person in the world"
Ga-be-nah-gewn-wo was also
known as h-ha-gunta, and would
even answer to plain John Smith.
According to the Bureau of Indian
Affairs he was fire raker of the once
powerful Blackfeet tribe. His declin-
ing years were spent on the north
bank of Mud Lake, twelve miles from
the village of Ball Club, Minn.,
where he lived in a hut of birch bark
He outlived eight wives, and when
long past the century mark he was
still young enough to woo another.
His only survivor is Tom Smith,
stepson, at whose home he died.
His once powerful frame slowly
wasted, his hair turned white, and
his face became scanned like walrus
hide, but his step was still sprightly
and he never stepped from his hut
without humming some tune. His
unusual fondness for music was one
of his peculiarities. Often he walked
the twelve miles to Ball Club to hear
piano or violin, his favorite musical
Instruments. When rag time air
was struck up the old Indian would
smile broadly, his black, beady eyes
would sparkle and he would lift his
shoulders and snap his fingers in real
. cabaret style.
Historians made use of the Indians
: remarkable memory to corroborate
stories of the Indian fights, some of
them back as far as 1900. Smith was

THE FARMERS WAGE

There's a good deal of talk just now
about the living wage. Opinions may
differ as to what constitutes it, and
we suppose there'll always be disputes
between the man who works and the
man who pays-but few persons have
the hardihood to deny the laborers
right to a decent home, with suf1i-
Gent food for himself and family. edu.
cation for his children, and bit lett
over. if he is sensible and prudent, Tor
a rainy day.
This is not only the right Of the or
panized laborer, but the right Of every
laborer. And we feel Julesburg citl-
zens will agree with US when we say
it is also the right of the farmer. ne
should and does insist upon it, and ne
should be willing to concede it, not on
ly to the city laborers, but to those
who help him in his farm operations,
whether hired hands or members OF
his own family. Those who will not
nav the living wage cannot them
selves expect to receive it. This was
made clear last year, when farmers,
producing low-priced crops under
high-cost conditions, were unable 70

city worker found himself out OF q
lob. It is a good time to remember
the Golden Rule. Its practical appll-
cation is easy, even though it may
seem to be difficult. Every worker
should have living wage, whether ne
is employed in city or country Inc

BETTER RURAL SCHOOLS

1t will be generally felt in country
towns, as was previously stated, that
rural school teachers should work to
make country life seem attractive 70
their pupils. But the objection will be
raised that many of these teachers
are quite young, they have had Dut
little experience either Of life or OF
teaching, and they may not be in po-
sition to sway young people IN mat
ter lying somewhat outside the scope
of ordinary text book work.
Also many teachers are young girls
from cities, who expect to teach year
or two in small towns, and then go on
to large places. They may not them
selves be very sympathetic with coun-
try life and perhaps are secretly long
ing to get away therefrom.
A teacher who is not heartily in ac-
cord with this idea of working to make
country life attractive, is not well
qualified to teach in a rural school.
Normal schools and other institutions
that prepare young people Tor teacn-
ing should make it clear to these
young folks, that when they 60 into
a rural school, it is their first busl-
ness to work for country lie ana 10
make country life seem attractive TO
their young people. If they can not
get that point Of view they should
stay in the cities. Most of them tho
would get it very readily if it was
urged upon them. ,.,
There ought to be some little hand
book prepared for the use Of teachers,
on the subject of country life, that
should show them how they can make
their children enthusiastic for the
rural community of the future.
The schools Of this county have q
great task before them to perform this
mission. Everything possible should
be done to encourage the young peo..
pie to take hold of little enterprises OF
their own. and go in for boys and
girls agricultural and home making
clubs, 50 that they shall early get
good ideas of rural development.
