COMMENTARY ON WHITE RULE Indians Have Flourished Only Where the White Man Did Not Want Their Lands. In only two parts of all America are the Indians as numerous todty as when the white men came-in Canada, north of the Saskatchewan, where the popu lation is actually increasing; south of the Rio Grande, in Yaqui land, where whip and sword and rifle have failed to conquer what should have been placified. Inlfnorthern Canada tile fur hunting Indians have prospiered in peace for two reasons. The white men did not take their lands. They did not want them. The land of the Far North was only good for furs ; and so the second reason, or from purely selfisi motive to increase the output of fairs, tie Indlias have been treated with ibsolite justlec if with absolute despotlim. Tite safety of the lone trader's life depended oil absolute jus, tice ; and, oddly enough, the only Mexi can who ias ever succeeded in controll Ing tihe Yamiuis his controlled them in the ste way, by leaving to them their lands Iand by absolute, if at times des potic, justiee.-i)etrolt Free-Press.

The climax of her undertaking was when she uppeared at a large pet stock shlow in England with a jaunty, becoming hat, a coat, andi a set of furI made froin rabbit skins, whleh she admitted publicly were nothing more than solo of her pet rabbits.

Less than twelve weeks ago, says a Reuter telegram, the great salons of the casino were a scene of devastation and wanton destruction. Although o cupying so prominent a position on the sea front, the buildings themselves escaped the constant bombardment from sea and air that has transformed so many of the beautiful hotels and villas along the Digue into heaps of rubble, and the use of nine tons of glass has repaired all the damnage thus occasioned, but the Germans showed their usual thoroughness i gutting and dellling the salons themselves. 10very slick of furniture was taken away, beuautiful tapestries were slashed and torn by Geriain bayonets and every nirror I Ilithe halls' was removed, together with the copper enndelabra in the saltons and the beautiful copper stairease.

RATHER OVERDID THE THING Friends of Candidate for Government Appointment Laid the Flattery on a Bit Thick. John L. MeNabb, attorney, tells this one on himself: "When I was a can didate for United States district attor ney in this district several years ago, my friends procuredl documents and testimonials without number to sub stantiate the desired appointment, and a book full of this eulogistic matter was forwarded to President Taft. An outsider reading the documents would have supposed I was a candidate for admission into the heavenly kingdom, .so unreserved were the commendations. "Not long ago I met ex-President Taft while he was in this city. He has a remarkable memory. Shaking me by the hand, lie said : 'When I finished reading the grandMloquent re ports in your favor some years ago I pictured to myself a man possessed with angels' wings and fit to be the American amhassn(lor extraordinary to the heavenly kingdom. I supposed you were dead at the time, for the report read like an epitaph on a tombstone, so remarkable were the testimonials of your friends in your behalf.' "-San Francisco Chronicle. Question of Dress. Few of the picturesque tribal cos tumes that depart in main essentials from the dress found convenient by western civilization have succeeded in maintaining their traditional charac teristics. he Itouimaniin people are among those whom the war has caused to forsake a distInctive national male attbr'e. This, ini lis main lines, re called the costume of the IRoman le gionairhes, wvhieh was adopted hy the untion when Roumnila formied the Romian i'rovince of Daela. It con sisted of a short white tunic, "bag trousers" of wvhite wool, and a curi ously embtlrlderedh coat. Many of these garments were carried away as loot by invaders duirinig the war, an tih le rolief garmients sent in fromi France, wlieh are of more conventional deC sign, are expeted to (lrive the national costume into dlisulse.
