AN ARTISTIC INDIAN.

Among the exhibitors at the Chicago Art
institute show is an American Indian
whose figures of animals carved in
wood are deemed to have at least enough merit
to warrant their acceptance along with works
by the most distinguished American artists.
The fact is of interest because Of the rarity
with which the American Indian appears in the
white mans world as an artist of any kind.
The failure of the Indian to manifest such tai
ent cannot be altogether matter of racial diff
ference, for the red man in pre-Columbian days
had developed various arts to a point where
they commanded Just admiration. AS a general
thing their artistic work was applied to arti-
cles of use, such as>textile and potters while
ment, but they also understood art for arts
sake, and PERFORMED difficult feats of crafts
manship apparently for no other purpose than
to show their skill. In that class were the
! minute arrowheads which some tribes made
and on the Pacific coast baskets were woven SO
small that the white man needs tense to see
the designs on them. In Mexico ancient carv-
| ings have been found which clearly show that
/! the worker was inspired by the same motives
| that move the European sculptor, and every
one knows the beauty of Indian blankets and
| Of their best ceramic work
| But only in very limited way has the In
dian ever used his artistic gifts for the purpose
of making place for himself among the white
men. Instead he has lost to a large extent the
arts that he once practced. Apparently Indian
i inspiration tends to die with the disappearance
of Indian culture

/ Republican factions in Illinois are trying to
agree on a compromise candidate for governor
In 1924. Party chieftains ought to realize that
the ordinary voter has little interest in their
battles for power. If the Republicans expect to
continue control of the gcvernorship Of Illinois
they must offer candidate acceptable to the
average voter and not the favorite OF few
Organization influences. The party label is
meaning less every day in American elections.
You had good illustration of that fact in Rock
Island county Tuesday OF last week.

care for her. They would give her
an ugly stare and walk on.

be able to laugh like those young

A voice interrupted her thoughts,

! Il beg your pardon" she heard a
| very deep, musical voice saying,
but for a moment I thought you

/ but not having seen her for five
years, possibly am mistaken"
; Estelle was a quick thinker, and
sometimes very impulsiye. In q

swered the good-looking man be-
side her:
81 am Miss Havilland, and you
are-let me think-not Bob Gray
son? l have it! Are you not his
chum" And all the haughtiness
had vanished. The gray eyes were
no longer dreamy; they were spark
ling with mischief and q delicious
laugh came from that same girl!
Richard Malcolm looked intently
at the young girl, and Dick" as he
was known to all his friends, lost
something that night he never after
wards recovered.
why, yes, am he, and / am SO
awfully glad to see you again, Miss
Havilland. Are you going out to
the dance tonight? It's SO jolly to
have the dance hall out there near
i the wild waves" Then, as he saw
something that looked like refusal
in her eyes, he said: do let us
70 out, Miss Havilland, 1t will seem
like old times" And Dick won tbs
evening.
| Before the dance was over, Dick
suggested that they leave and try
the sports for a change. First it
was to old merry-gO-round, then
q the "old tub" next the roller

nervous going down the first dip

man felt it his duty to protect her.

Some such epitaph - this might
be written for = good many harm
less, unsuspeetfng creatures who
have risen in the night and gone to
the medicine cupboard to get .
dose Of physic or saleratus:
Here rest the remains Of poor FL
iery Hubbard:
His wife kepA the I've in the medi-
cine cupboard.
An adequate stock Of household
remedies, both for minor ills and
for accidents. may be kept on hand
without endangering any ones life
even though blunCers be made.
There is really no good excuse for
keeping poisons Of any kind in the
house, and particularly when thefs
are young children in the house.
whenever a child gets hold 1f
strychnine In pretty sugar-coated
pills or tablets and eats enough to
bring on fatal commissions. the
guilty person ought to be punished,
for in such cases somebody has
certainly been guilty of reprehensi-
Bile carelessaess. Likewise it Is
criminally careless to keep such
poisons as carbolic acid or corro-
sive sublimate (bichloride of ner-
cury) in the house. I would plead
specially to mothers who may read
this, that they destroy or properly
dispose of any such ppisons they
may have in the house now, and in
arranging the family medicine chest
or cupboard see to it that nothing
of a poisonous or dangerous nature
is permitted to have a place on the
shelves.
am going to give here a COM
plete list of remedies and articles
sufficient and appropriate for the
emergency chest and medicine cup
board. and from long experience
feel warranted In saying that my
medicine cupboard ; is practically
fool proof. At any rate believe it
has no fatalities to its credit, and
that Is more than most family med
icine chests can boast.
1t Is well to have separate cab
met or cupboard or box or chest
which may be kept locked or at
least high above the reach of curl
Gus child-not SO much for the
chilfs safety in this, case but to
protect the remedies. Other arti-
cles, such as toilet accessories and
the like. should not be kept in the
,, medicine cupboard. Modern sur
geons do tall lot Of hand washing
and scrubbing. but they don't do ii
in the same room where they oper-
ate. The medicine cupboard may
be kept in the bathroom, but that .is
as far as the intimacy should 60
The medicine and emergency chest
should be about one foot by Is
inches and some five inches deep
This should suffice for a regular
old fashioned family, or for two OF
three modern families. Tomorrow
