Dear me, I wonder why all the
birds are so quiet" cried the little
rabbit, as he went clipperty clip. lip
perty lip up the Old Cow Path, his
knapsack bouncing up and down on
his back and his red-striped candy
cane swinging from his left paw.
I'll explain" cried a sweet voice,
and there on fence post sat Bob, Bob
olink, the little minstrel of the mea-
dows, in his pretty feather suit Of
black, white and yellow. Dear me,
your Uncle Dave has made mistake
in describing the colors of his mid
summer suit SO please listen to what
The little bird has to say.
"In the spring on quivering wing
Above the daisies white,
Ger buttercups of golden hue
I made my feathered fight.
My suit of yellow. white and black
Was gay as gay could be,
And all the happy notes l sung
Made merry melody.
But now I've hushed my bubbling
song
And shed my plumage gay,
For soon with all the Bobolinks
I'll Southwark wing my way"
Dear, Oh dear" sighed the little
rabbit. II shall miss you, dear Bobby
Bobolink."
las soon as the grass is cut
change my gay feathers for suit
like the one Mrs. Bob wears" went on
the little bird. AN olive brown
streakcd with light buff on back
wings and tail BY the middle of Au-
gust all we Bobolinhs will begin our
long journey Southwark. All the way
from as far North as Nova Scotia to
South America VIE go land on our
Journeys to and fro we are called by
different names. In the middle states
we are known as Reed birds and in
the South, where the rice grows, as
Ricebirds.
Il should love to travel" sighed
the little rabbit. Every day, of
course, I hop here and there and every
where, looking for a new adventure
But You birds are such wonderful
travellers. You go thousands of miles"

amusement of the idly assembled
pale-faccs. The Board of Indian
Commissioners can do nothing effec-
tive in the service of the Indians,
nor can the Indian Council at Spo-
kane. The Indians, we are now
regularly told by the Government
statisticians, are no longer dimin-
fishing in numbers. On the other
hand they increase slightly in num-
Der from decade to decade. Just the
same, the race is fading away. be-
cause its face becomes paler from
generation to generation. Soon the
surviving American Indian will be
but a bleached Renaissance of the
noble red man" The oyertopping
white race will have his drop of
aboriginal blood and all his land, as
well as, in the end, all his petroleum
and coal.
The noble red man." was he ever
that? He was. He had a good deal
Of cruelty in his npositiol-almost
perhaps, as much as the white man
who dispossessed him-but he had
dignity, a fine degree of judicious
courage, a sentiment of serene devo-
ton to his tribe and his kindred and
as great an actual weight of brain
in his Uranium, ounce for ounce, as
race. In his songs and tales he pro-
duced poetry OF fine type, and in his
eloquent council orations he had the
superior sincerity to call his poetry a
boast" He was capable of ciyiliZa-
ton, and proved the fact in Mexico,
in Maya Land and in Peru, but in
this land he proved that he cared
more for personal freedom and for
the finest type Of sport, including
war. than he did for complicated and
highly developed social systems. His
philosophy Of life resulted in the no
blest physical type that the world
has ever seen. The Apollo Belvidere
of the Greeks was creature of the
imagination, but Benjamin West has
told us that among the Mohawks and
the Lenni Lenape every man was an
Apollo. The Indian killed his
enemies with rare refinement but he
was nevertheless the soul of honor.
The Indian of today is but a pallid
shadow of his former self. He is be-
ing rapidly civilized along the line
of his vices. He has learned a new
trick-tne trick of cupidity. His
Astounding personal generosity is be-
ing reformed and cultivated out of
him. The march of his intellect is in
the direction of Babbitry. No longer,
IN an access OF ldNlSnHeSS, cues rs
annually bestow all his possessions,
to the last bead and the las. mon

He "whacks up" with the half-breed
corruptionists, who is picking Up It'd
bits of rich land, and deposits his
check in the bank. Instead of
securing the plains on his sia gSy
pony, he gets arrested for speeding
his automobile At intervals he makes
show of himself. painting his skin
and exhibiting the war dance in
time of piping peace, with boushren
wigs at his belt for scalps. He is
no longer either noble, or rcd, OK
cept with aniline aid. Yet not all
his kindred are in this degenerate
c,Jss. He is fading away. but in the
long Iun his contribution TO the
chara ctel Of the future -Anlet!can

ness and advantage.

says that the actual expense of Pro-
hibition enforcement narrows down to
perhaps dfteen cents per person, and
expresses the opinion that "it is not

regard that as an extravagant ex-
penditure for enforcing a law which
gives effect to an integral part of
the Constitution OF the United
