THANGED HER OPINION.
Irate Mother Forn.it the Fcoldtag She
Intended to He liver.
The woman who figures la the fol
lowing tit of real life, from the col
umns of the New York Times, Is not
the first mother to form hasty conclu
sions regarding the teacher of her
child, nor will she be the last. The
point wherein she differs from many in
her readiness to admit that, after all,
the teacher may not have been at fault.
The woman had pro in feed herself to
administer what she called a "tongue
iashlu' " to the young principal for dar
ing to "put buck" her Carrie. Ho alio
sped up the stairs to the principal's of
fice, aad gjleutix pushed open the door
that led to the pleasant little room with
Its homelike carpet anil businesslike
desk. As she drew a long breath be
fore announcing herself by a belliger
jnt "Aliem!" a diversion occurred, and
he stepped aside Into an alcove that
ommauled a view of the Interior of
ihe office.
The diversion was the entrance
through another door of three children.
The woman knew them all. One was
Mrs. Ktumpf'a Otto, another Mrs. Wo
kel'g Nina, and the third was what she
termed the "dago's little girl." They
were all muddy, all damp, but happy;
nd each small fist clutched some dilap
idated wild Uowers.
The principal swung round In her
chair and smiled earnestly at the car
pet, and three guilty-looking little chil
li ren scrambled for the mat and began
a vigorous scraping of muddy feet.
Then they returned and paid tribute
with the flowers.
"You gotter put 'em In water," said
Nino.
"They come outer Hurden'g woods,"
ald the "dago's" little girl.
"I showed 'em how to get back; they
was lost!" boasted Otto.
The principal received the gifts with
appropriate gratitude. She placed the
lejected-looking "Jnck-ln-the-pulplt" be
side the fainting violets and the dande
lions with microscopic stems, and eyed
he disreputable-looking result with sat
isfaction. Then the trio beamingly
tarted to depart. At the door Otto
topped.
"The rain was first in the sea before
ft was In the sky," he volunteered.
"You don't say so!" exclaimed the
principal.
"Yes; It was in the nature story to
lay." "The sun brung It up to the sky," cut
jn Nina, Jealous of Otto's glibness.
"When it falls down again," said the
"dago's" little girl, "it's 'cause the
:louds bunk their heads together and
(hey have to cry. I know a song about
If
"Can you sing It " asked the princi
pal "Yes'm;" and In a treble as shrill as
I grasshopper's she began:
"Two little clouds one summer day
Wag fly in' thro' the sfty;
They went so fas' they bunked their
beads,
And both began to cry."
"How lively!" said the principal.
"The cunning little toads!" said the
woman, softly, and stole forth again,
smiling.
Not until she reached home did she
remember the "tongue-lashln' " she bad
Intended to deliver.
"It niust have been that Carrie wa
dumb," she commented. "I don't be
lieve that principal would put anyont
down a class for spite."

Washington, 'Nov. L A severe ar
raiugnient of the Indians on the
Ponca. Otoe and Oakland reservation
In Oklahoma Is made by Agent Er
win, in charge of the reservation, in
his annual report to the commission
er of Inldan affairs. He says:
"Hardly any of the young Indians,
those who have graduater from non
r 'solvation schools, as well as those
who have attended for a number of
years, do any work at all. It can be
set down as a perfectly safe rule that
as a class the young educated In
dians are the most worthless ones in
the whole tribe. Nearly all of the
work done by the tribes is performed
by the middle-aged, able bodied ones,
who cannot write or speak English.
"The educated Indian coming from
the schools usually gives the excuse
that he has nothing with whirh to
work, neither money, implements nor
stock of any kind. Thip is true, I
notice that they manage to live nn
their annuities and lease
buy horses, buguies. etc.,
and borrow money from
money and
on credit
the banks
with very little prospect of ever be
ing able to pay their debts. Any
able bodied man or woman is able lo
obtain work at fair wages. Many of
the peolpe are addicted to drink and
both men and women are inveterate
gamhleis. They have practically
nothing to do. Their days are spent
In almost utter idleness and vice
a-id debauchery are rampant. The
degradation of those people will con
tinueand increase until they are made
to work and live by the result of
their labors."
As a remedy for this condition of
affairs the agent recommends that ti e
Indian children he educated only at
reservation boarding schools, further
education being 90 per cent waste of
effort and money, and that the schools
u ider the jurisdiction of the Okla
homa government be established
among those Indians so that the lat
ter can come Into constant contact
with white children. He says that
the payments by the government
from their trust funds now in the
United States treasury should be
used to enable them to start in farm
log and stock raising.

Transportation is now the worst fea
ture, and threatens to continue disturb
ing. While the grain crops are being
moved the supply of rolling stock und
motive power will prove insufficient, al
though every effort is made at the shops,
liberal premiums being offered for earlj
delivery. That the railways are well oc
cupied is evidenced by earnings for the
first week of October 3.5 per cent larger
than last year and 10.9 per cent above
VJOO.
Inadequate supplies of fuel caused fur
ther banking of furnaces, but the effect
it a decreased output of domestic pig li on
has been purtly neutralized by larger ar
rivals from abroad. Practically no yri
can be named for immediate delivery ol
borne iron, and there is no disposition to
make concessions for distant contracts,
awing to the abnormal coke situation.
Fortunately there has been little inter
ruption at finishing mills, and the output
of rails, structural material and kindred
lines is well maintained. Consumers not
only find difficulty in securing steel from
the mills but encounter a further dcluj
on the railways, which are unable to han
dle freight promptly. Orders come for
ward freely for the heavier lines, numer
ous contracts being offered for steel rails
for next year's delivery, and the plans for
buildings and bridges keep a lot of busi
ness in sight in beams, channels and nn
;les. Plates for shipyards are also sought
freely, prices tending upward on tank
!teel. Higher freight rates have check
ed imports of finished steel.

many furnaces that have been crippled
for a month or more are expected to
resume operations on the former large
scale. The Northwest is making sub
stantial gains in the general volume ol
business. The Northwest leads the cout
try. Last week Minneapolis broke every
previous record with a production of 443,-S-'IO
barrels of flour. The flour demand ii
good, with inquiry coining from everj
quarter and the prospect favorable for
heavy grinding by the Northwestern mills
to the turn of the year. Grain receipts
are increasing somewhat. Jobbing nnd
manufacturing lines are doing a satisfac
tory business. The banks report th
financial tone very favorable.
The wheat mnrket has been continu

the strength in corn. There is little
wheat in Minneapolis and not more than
enough corning to supply the mills, while
millers selling flour freely have been bid
