Many Indians in Neev York

HE adventurous young Of the East who feel
the urge to go hunt Indians, need 60 no
farther West than New York State, where the
remnants of the Six Nations still reside on a
number of reservations in the western part
of the State.
It Is estimated that the States Indian popu-
lation totals about $500, Of whom approximately
5000 live on the reservations. The Cat
taraugus Indians are the most numerous, more
than 1900 Of them living on q reservation in
Erie and Cattaraugus Counties. The Aneghanies
are next most numerous. nearly / 900 of them
living on a reservation Of something more than
81 900 acres. Other tribes are the st. Regis
Onandagas. Shinnecocks (fast approaching ex-
tinction) Tonawandas and Tuscaroras. Only
"a Poospatucks still remain this tribe being
closely related to the Shinnecocks and living
on the same reservation with them.
Other tribes represented In the State, but
having no reservations are the Oneidas and
the Senecas.

Greenwich-was still within reach Of maraud-

For that distance the two motor cars were
guarded by French patrol.
The Sahara sands began at Colomb Bechar.
They stretched, without end, thousand miles
to Gao-a huge metropolis of between 90 and
40 white men! Just east of Timbuctoo.
The caravan was out in the open desert six
days. travelling mostly by night. The motor

At Gao vegetation began. At Tillabery, down
the Niger, they entered the big game country.
Some distance, then, they travelled by native
canoe or pirogue.
THESE primitive craft were boats rough
- hswn out of the trunks Of great trees
literally sewn together.
At Say they left the Niger and struck into
the BUSH
'The natives were wonderful people," says
Ducarpe de Iisle. Friendly and hospitable.
Wherever we camped, they would gather round,
endlessly curious, and bring eggs and milk,
wood and water.
"At pow-wows round the camp fire we would
learn If they we're troubled by rowing lions.
One place. lions had discovered they could
Jump the corral where the cattle were kept at
night. It was family of four hons-father,
mother, and two young ones. But that affair
had just been settled by native hunter
equipped with bow and arrows!"
Ducarpe de Iisles eyes cleaned with satss-
faction when he described the heroism re.
quired Of that hunter-in contrast to the pro-
lection which modern invention gives the white
sportsman"
The native dug a shallow trench few yards
from the place where the lions were in the
habit of leaping the barricade. He lay in 1t
and watched them approach and jump over.
The shrek of a slaughtered heifer told the tale
Of another nights killing. And presently, one

Every one had been pierced by an arrow Just
behind the shoulder. A marvellous piece OF
target work. And what nerve!"
Contempt for the whole rigmarole Of lion
hunting by white men Is dominant when Du-
carpe de Lsle tells how it is done nowadays.
"You choose a place, along about 4 or 5 in
the afternoon, where you will have good visi-
bility at night" he explains You barricade

Plan to Increase Revenue

Washington. = Legislation designed
to halt an annual post Office deficit
which rose to a new high Of $200, 0O0,-

post offices and post roads.
1t is expected to be introduced as

of or early in the next regular session.
Members Of the committee are I'M
derstood to be working on both ends
of the problem. seeking to increase
revenue and to curtail outlay. Their
major efforts along the first line it Is
reported, will be the restoration of the
former two cent rate on first class
postage which was raised to three
cents In the revenue act of 1888.
Three Cent Rate Causes Loss.
A recent survey conducted by Rep
resentative James NJ. Mead (Dem., N.
Y.,) committee chairman. indicated
that instead of realizing promised
$130,000,O00 in postal income. the in
creased first class rate is going to lose
some $100,000,0OO in the current fiscal
year. He termed the three cent rate
one of the greatest blunders" in the
history of the mail service.
Efforts to stem the outlay of the
Post Office department will be direct
ed at curtailment Of air and ocean
mail subsidies. In the fiscal year 1882
steamship mail subsidies totaled $751;
666,103, while subyentions ito air
transport companies engaged in carry
ing the mails amounted to $20,586, 107
Recently the committee compiled

new plan of air mail payment under
which subsidies would be completely
abolished within five years. 1t is ex-

Floor Coverings.
Textile floor coverings, also called
soft surface floor coverings, are d.
vided into two comprehensive groups,
those made by hand and those con-
structed by machinery. Handmade
carpets and rugs include all kinds
made entirely by hand, or on what are
called hand looms. On the latter the
welt is inserted by hand either by
throwing bobbin through the sep
arated strands Of the warp on the
loom or by knotting the threads on
the warp, using the hands to tie the
knots, or otherwise insert the welt.
Sometimes needles are threaded with
colored yarns and are used in place
Of bobbins to carry the weft or GER
tain strands Of the welt through,
around, or about the warp. The weft
is also called filler.
Handmade Coverings.
All genuine oriental rugs are hand
made, as are also the kinds called
hand-knotted carpets. These latter
are knot-tied carpets made with the
same ghiordes knot Of the oriental
weavers. They are made in the Brit
ish Isles and in some European coun-
tries, rather than in the Orient, and
are therefore given the distinguishing
name of hand-knotted carpets. They
differ also in designs which are no.

It Is at this stage that parents and
grandparents often make the mistake
of Installing the element of fear in the
children. With their older years and
greater stature, falls are not of small
significance to these adults. They
hold their breath as they watch their
children climb tall trees, and often
call out words of warning when in
reality the youngsters are as secure
as if on terra firma. They plant their
feet well on limbs or in crotches Of
branches and revel in the feeling OF
freedom and elevation above the green
grass many yards below. They look
out over the heads of their elders or
over the roof of garage or barn and
get the eXhilaration of adults who sit
securely in airplanes when they take
flights from aviation fields.
Sure.F Footed Safety.
This ability of children to keep their
balance and to climb will stand them
in good stead when they grow older,
provided they do not get so many
warnings that they imbibe the spirit
of fear which will hamper them later
on. There is no time in ones life
when to be sure-footed is more priced
than adult years. The ability to grip
the ground or the floor with the feet
is valuable. To walk fearlessly over
a plank across a stream, to tread the
uncertain deck Of steamer blowing

head In Minnesota; Grand Forks,

Fargo at 2 p. m. Tuesday to discuss
the proposal to dam certain Minne-

Ottertail river this spring in time to
conserve as much as possible Of the
spring run off in that area.
The matter was before the Fargo
city commission Monday when A. A.
Baker, Detroit Lakes, representing
heirs Of the E. g. Holmes estate which
owns the dam sites, made final ar
fragments for the conference here.
Fargo has taken an option on the
dam sites under the terms Of which 1t
may close dams for this year ut the
outlets to height Of land, many point
and round lakes without other cost
than that involved in the expense Of
restoring sluice gates. It Is estimated
this could be done for less than $500
The proposal Is to have all cities
along the river share In the small ex-
pense for the purpose Of testing the
value Of holding this water which
would be available to be fed into the
river later in the event Of drought.
