INDIANS KEAL AND IDEAL
The Halo Which Romano Haa
Given Poor La
When the Truth Is Told the Nobis Bed
Man Becomes Anything Bat the
Grand Creature Imaittnatlan
Has fainted lliin.
The student of ethnolopy finds no
more fascinating branch ef humanity
than the Indian. Not the race as de
picted by Catlin, Schoolcraft and
Drake, who have painted him in glow
ing colors, but the Indian as he exists
to-day. The time has come when the
truth about Indian life should be told.
The gentlemen mentioned gave much
thought to the subject of which they
are the accepted authorities, but he
who goes among Indians as a student
will at once perceive that the whole
study of the red men has been one of
externals to the exclusion of the more
secret and inner life that discloses the
real character of the race. The fol
lowing paragraph appears in the intro
duction of Drake's masterpiece:
"There was found in him (the In
dian) an unbounded hospitality, . a
friendship vouched for with life itself,
an unfailing remembrance of a kind
ness done him, a nobility of soul that
held it firmly to his ideas of honor,
filled him with reverence for the sages
and heroes of the tribe and inspired in
him an ardent longing to emulate
their renown. In social and domestic
life kindness and self-control were
constantly manifested, wrangling and
strife being unknown in the Indian
dwelling."
It is difficult, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, to conceive of a more incor
rect statement of the case regarding
the mental attributes of the Indian.
In addition to tlie error that has been
constant in the minds of the people,
through such statements and ideas as
romantic and prejudiced writers have
given out as ethnological data, there
has been a fundamental error in the
study of Indians in classing or group
ing them all together. It is true that
there are certain constant character
istics among the Indians, just as there
are in the Caucasian race, but it is also
true that the mental and physical dif
ferences between tribes are more
marked than between the European
nations.
It is through reading such authors
as viewed the outside or apparent life
of Indians that the world to-day knows
almost nothing about the dominant
characteristics of the re4 man. In
civilized circles the belief is current
that the perceptive faculties of the
Indian are highly developed; that he
is acute in all things, and that his
mind almost intuitively -grasps phil
osophical subjects; that he is a born
orator with a natural rhetoric; that he
pierces the fallacies of sophistry with
almost divine powers of analysis; that
he has evolved a religious system and
worships one God under the title of
Great Spirit. These are the mental at
tributes with which he has been
clothed by those who have been accept
ed as authority. His physical powers
are no less those of a demigod. He is
supposed to be a bundle of muscles
and nerves, capable of almost super
human endurance. His eye is so true
that he distinguishes objects and tells
their characteristics before they come
within the range of vision of the
whites. Owing to his unerring aim his
markmanship is phenomenal. His idea
of location is so highly developed that
he finds his way over untrod plains
and mountains, and notices the slight
est displacement of stick or stone.
What are the facts? The Indian is
not an orator. He expresses himself
with extreme difficulty and in the sim
plest manner. He has neither rhet
orical nor analytical power. His
philosophy is of the crudest sort, and
he has no religion. He docs not wor
ship a great spirit except as he has
been taught by the whites. His men
tal powers have nothing supernatural
in them. Physically he is the inferior
of the whites as he is mentally. His
muscles are weaker and his nerves
more easily unstrung; his eye is less
keen than that of the white plains
man, and he is a tyro at marksman
ship; his idea of location is bounded
by his environments. He sees few
sights, hears few Bounds, smells few
odors, and tastes few flavors. The re
sult is that his whole life is narrow, as
the facts presented to him are lew.
His perceptive faculties are of a low
order and his powers of discrimination
small. This, however, is a rule which,
like all other rules, has exceptions, for
there are now, and have been in the
past, elevated minds among the In
dians. HOTEL GUESTS.
Woman Who Will Have What They Want
and Men Who Won't Register.
The average guest at a first-class ho
tel puts his fist on the register and
takes what the lord of the rooms gives
him meekly and uncomplainingly.
There are rooms and rooms, just as
there are hotels and hotels; and when
the hotels are crowded it takes an ex
perienced and determined man to get
the best or a woman, says the Wash
ington Post.
No hotel clerk has ever yet stood up
before the onslaught of a lovely fe
male bent on having a front room
lighted on both sides and not higher
than the third story.
But there is another class of the
dwellers in tents the men who never
register. Every hotel has them, and
Washington hotels more than any
other ?ity. Here it means the game of
politics. T!e man who wants an of
fice, and is afraid his rivals are going
to put up combina;io.t,s against htm,
will slip into the hoSci and tell the
clerk thai he does not want t) b seen
or put on the book, and the clerk telle
him that it is all right.
In some cities such actions would be
rightly regarded as suspicious, but not
in Washington. The leading hotels
will average two a day during the first
year of a new administration; after
that they drop off to two a week, but
it is a peculiarity of Washington hotels.
AN ICELANDIC INCIDENT.
Primitive Modesor Dealing with Criminals
In the Northern Islands.
The laws of Iceland, according to a
writer in Pearson's Weekly, are so
fully recognized that the services of a
police ofiicer are hardly necessary;
criminals arrest themselves, and the
authorities have little trouble in se
curing the punishment of an offender.
A young Icelandic friend of mine,
says the writer, going across the desert
from Reykjavik, met a man riding a
pony. Such meetings are rare in these
parts, and, like ships on the sea, the
two hailed and spoke. And this was
the manner, and substance of their con
versation: "What's your name?" ,(
"Stefan."
"Whose son?"
"Thorstein's son."
"Where are you going?"
"To prison."
"What for?"
-V
"Stealing a sheep."
"No one taking you?"
"No, the sheriff was busy, so he gave
me my papers the warrant for the
arrest and sent me on to prison by
myself."
The men exchanged snuff and a kiss,
and parted. A week later the young
Icelander was returning to Reykjavik,
and near the same spot he met the
6ame man.
"What!" he cried. "Stefan Thor
stein! Wny, you said you were going
to prison!"
"So I was, and I went, but they would
not lot irve in."
"Why not?"
"Because I had lost my papers, and
the sheriff said he could not take me
without my warrant."
"So they won't have you in prison?
"No."
"And you are going home again?"
"Yes."
POUNDED THE DOG TO DEATH.
How a Monkey Made Good Use or a Billy
Like a Policeman's Club.
"The most novel fight I ever wit
nessed," remarked a traveler to a
writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer,
"was between a bulldog and a monkey,
down in Cuba. A friend of mine had a
bulldog that had licked every canine
on the island, and he was very proud
of him. A gentleman from South
America said that he had a monkey
that could whip the bulldog and the
owner of the latter laughed at the idea.
After some talk a wager of five hundred
dollars was made and the only advan
tage that the monkey was to have was
that he was to be allowed the privilege
of using a baton, about the length of a
policeman's club, but not so heavy.
The fight was in a public place, and in
a nit that was surrounded bv an iron
grating. There was a big crowd out
to see the fight. Of course everybody
thought the dog would chew up the
monkey. After a few minutes, how
over, the audience was surprised at
the sagacity displayed by the monkey.
The bulldog would make a rush
at the monkey, and the latter would
jump aside and allow the bulldog
to hit his head against the iron
gratings. This was kept up for twenty
minutes or more, and then the dog be
gan to get tired. The monkey began
to fight. He would let the dog make a
rush and then jump on the dog's back
and strike him several times with the
baton. This was kept up for an hour
or more, and finally the dog fell on the
floor completely exhausted, and the
monkey actually pounded him to death.
The monkey would strike the dog sev
eral blows and then place his ear to
the canine to see if he still breathed.
Finally the owner of the dog agreed to
give up the fight, but the owner of tlie
monkey told him that he was too late,
as the monkey would not quit until he
had killed the dog. This was one
of the peculiarities of tho monkey.
They always kill their victims. The
owner of the dog said he did not want
his dog killed, and insisted on taking
the monkey off. While they were talk
ing the monkey belted the dog several
times with his baton, placed his ear on
the dog, and with a sudden jump
leaped on the shoulder of his owner
and commenced to use monkey lan
guage. The dog was examined and
found to be dead. The people ap
plauded the victory of the monkey,
and it looked as if the monkey under
stood it."
THE INDIAN AS A FIGHTER.
Be Likes Warfare, Kieels In It and Is an
Kxcellent Marksman.
"The Indian is the most vioious fight
er on earth," said Maj. Harbour, late
press agent of the world s fair, but
former plainsman, to a Washington
Post reporter. "You read in the ac
counts of the South African war where
a hundred or two Englishmen go out
and whip five or ten thousand black
men. There is no uncivilized people
on earth, no race which is utterly igno
rant of what we call the science of
war, that can for a minute compare
with the Indians as warriors. JJo
frontier general would think of lead
ing his troops against a body of Indians
where the odds were greatly against
him. Why? Because the Indian is
naturally a fighter and a marksman,
and because he has been quick to learn
what the white armies have taught
him in warfare.
"Take that fight in which Hitting
Bull was killed. That was a skirmish,
it's true, but It illustrates my point-
There were just sixteen men on each
side. The battle lasted not over five
minutes, and eight were killed on each
side. Those Indian scouts rode straight
through the camp of Bitting Bull, and
engaged the old demon himself and
fifteen of his picked warriors in a bat
tle in which no man knew he had
more than an even chance of surviving.
"I've n-en them. They love to fight.
Their ambition is to win glory in
fighting. Their traditions urge them
on to fight- It's their only really aris
tocratic business" Ti.ey are physically
well qualified to fight; they know how,
and you can t they do fight when
they get at lt rz

Some Remarkable Cases Of Obsti

One Man May Have the Othar Eleven at
Bis Mercy Flattery Sometimes
Used as a Means of
Conviction.
Jurymen are sometimes quite uncon
scious of their own determination of
spirit. One of them, says the London
Illustrated News, Croake James tells
us, once explained to the Recorder,
who had noticed his peculiarity, that
his behavior was entirely misunder
stood. "No man, sir, is more open
than I am to conviction, and to do
what is right in every case, but I have
not met with the same consideration
from others. 1 1 has generally been my
lot to be on a jury with eleven of the
most obstinate men imaginable, who
will not listen to reason." It is fair to

this minority of one proves to be in
tho right. Lord Lyndhurst mentions
a case in which, through the opposi
tion of a single individual, the jury,
who were otherwise all for a verdict
of guilty, could come to no agreement;
but on the prisoner being tried again
he was unanimously and, as it turned
out, justly acquitted. (Hi the other
hand, some jurymen have too low an
opinion of what some philosophers
call their ego, and are willing to
depute their duties to an alter ego.
When Justice (Joultl had been about
two hours trying a case at York he
noticed there were but eleven jury
men in the box. "Please, my lord,"
roplied the foreman, in answer to the
judge's natural inquiry, "the other has
gone away about some business he had
to do, but he has left his verdict with
me."
The most remarkable case of a jury
'standing out" against what seemed
unrefutable testimony, and all through
tho resolution of one man, oc
curred before Chief J ustice Dyer. He
presided at a murder trial in which
everything went against the prisoner,
who on his part could only say that on
his going to work in the morning he
had found the man ding, and tried to
help him, whereby , had become cov-
red with blood, but when the man
presently died he had come away and
said nothing about it, because he was
known to have had a quarrel with tho
deceased, and feared that he might get
into trouble. The hay fork with
which the man had been murdered had
the prisouer's name on it. In other re
spects his guilt appeared to be clearly
established, and the chief justico was
convinced of it. When this is the case
a Judge likes to get a conviction. I
have sat beside one myself, who on
the second day brought his black cap
with him, neatly folded, and placed it
In the drawer before him ready for
use, and r-sry much annoyed beseemed
to be when the jury returned a verdict
of "not guilty." This was Chief Jus
tice Dyer's case, and when, notwith
standing their being locked up all
night without fire and candle, his
jury could come to no deci
sion, and eventually came to the
wrong one, he put some searching
questions to the high sheriff. The
cause of the acquittal, said that offi
cial, was undoubtedly the foreman, a
farmer of excellent character, es
teemed by all his neighbors and very
unlikely to be obstinate or vexatious.
"Then," said the judge, "I must see
this foreman, for an explanation of the
matter I Will have." The foreman
came, and after extracting from his
lordship a promise of secrecy proved
at once that the prisoner had been
rightly acquitted, "for," said he, "it
was I myself who killed the man." It
had been no murder, for the other had
attacked him with tlie hayfork, and
(as he showed) severely injured him;
but in the struggle to get possession
of the weapon he had the misfortune
to give the man a fatal wound. He
had no fears as to his being found
guilty of the murder, but, the assizes
being just over, his farm and affairs
would have been ruined by a confes
sion, through lying so long in jail, so
he suffered matters to take their
course. He was horrified to find one
of his own servants accused of the
matter, supported his wife and chil
dren while in prison, managed to be
placed on the jury and elected fore
man, and resolutely held out in favor
of the prisoner's innocence. He added
that if he had failed in this he would
certainly have confessed to his own
share in the business, and the judge
believed him. Every year for fifteen
years his lordship made inquiries as to
the foreman's existetioe, and at last,
happening to survive him, he consid
ered himself free to tell the story.

THE SURPLUS GIRL.
Better for Her to Work Than to Be
Thrown Into the River.
The tendency of an increasing popu
lation is nearly always to an overpro
ductionor at least to what is gen
erally considered an overproduction
of girls, and the result is a problem
which has been the cause of much vex
atious and unsatisfactory thinking in
all ages, says the St. Louis Republic.
The Chinese have a solution which
they look on as finul, but in many other
countries there is such objection to the
idea of throwing surplus girl babies
into the river that it can hardly op
erate with the same success which at
tends it in China.
As they are not thrown into the river
they grow up and then they must get a
living in some way. This has occurred
to Lady Emily Dilke, and has moved
her to make an investigation of their
condition.
The picture sho draws in the Fort
nightly Review is a gloomy one. She
concludes that the secret of England's
manufacturing supremacy is the cheap
labor of women and girls, and she ia
also of the opinion that the results of
setting the women and girls to work to
eke out the earnings of the head of the
family "are simply suicidal."
It is no doubt true that the success ef
English manufactures depends largely
on the cheap labor of women and girls,
and we venture to say that it is to
some extent true of every successful
manufacturing country. It is certainly
true of the New England states, which
are notorious for their overproduction
of girls.
It is not necessary to dwell on the
evils incident to any Industrial system
which relies mainly on such labor.
They are apparent. But the assump
tion that they outweigh the benefits is
rash indeed.
The increasing employment of
women and girls in production means
that through the advance of civlliza-
tion, resulting in the invention of
highly improved machinery, work can
now be doue by women that was for-
mcrly far beyond their strength. -When
one girl ean operate a machine
that will do the work of five fully de
veloped men it is useless to expect that
the five men will be employed in place
of the one girl and the machine.
It is also illogical and short-sighted
to look on the Improvement in machin
ery which increases the demand for fe
male labor as an evil in itself.
The English or the German peasant
girl who works on tho farm does much
harder and more brutalizing labor than
the girl of tho factory. Many evils at
tend the employment of girls in oper
ating machines. No father who can
support his daughters should allow
them to go into a factory. The girl is
most fortunate who can afford to grow
up with no other business than that of
"housewife." liut as all are not su
premely fortunate it is well to recog
nize that what may seem an unmixed
evil may be really a minor benefit.
It is better for girls to work in fac
tories and Btores than to be thrown
into tho river, as happens to them in
China, or to be obliged to use the mat
tock and spado In the fields, as they
are in Europe.
We aro not doing nearly as we 11 as
we might in this matter or in any
other, but still we are doing a great
deal better than professional pessimists
are capable of understanding.
