Bellefonte, Pa., August 19, 1910. Native Reserve and Conservatism Keep Them Apart From Whites. Even among the Five Civilized Tribes there still remain many communities wholly full blood. These people drift together, following their own ideas of life, speaking their own language and retiring before the whites with the same strange reserve and pride that characterized them in their wild state. Although claiming the name of sev- era! Christian denominations and fol- lowing certain beliefs with devout. ness, their ways of thinking, their dix. like of innovation and their aversion to work have made them withdraw to the mountain districts. Whethrr this so called reserve comes from pric: or a distrust of the white man or ti midity or merely a stubborn conserva- tism, it produces the same result, the backward and nonprogressive Indian. There is, too, a certain mystic quality that holds the Indian aloof, says the Southern Workman—a quality that we do not understand and with which there is little sympathy in our every- day life. He is so much of a philos- opher that he looks upon our strenu- ous life with some contempt, dismiss- ing our efforts for personal comfort and material advancement with the remark that “the white man is heap trouble to himself.” While people call him lazy because he does not care to exert himself for those things which seem important to whites, yet to some religious ceremonial or some ar- tistic expression his application is per- sistent, and the “patience of an In- dian” has passed into a proverb. Many Things Concerning Them That Science Cannot Fathom. A young girl in charge of two chil dren, sheltering under a tree on Chisie. hurst common, was struck by light. ning and killed—one of those dreadful instances of the sort of personal touch with which lightning seems to select its victim, for, though one child is re- ported to have been thrown down, nel ther apparently was Injured. There are many instances, of course, of thi: strange selection, due in most cases probably to some accident of clothing, There is a well remembered case which happened some years ago at Can bridge, when three young men were walking across an open space of ground, and the middle one of the three was struck dead, while the oth- ers were untouched. The inquest showed that the young man who was killed had nails in his boots, whereas the others were wearing boating shoo. The phenomena of thunderstori:s have been the subject of much study in America. But If thunderstorms can be classified, they are still not thor oughly understcod. We do not yo! know what are the exact condition: which lead to a discharge of electri ll. in the form of a lightning flash fro: cloud to cloud or from cloud to eart!:. We cannot reproduce thunder an! lightning in a laboratory. We do not know what Is the origin of the elec- trification manifested In a storm. — London Spectator. Tickling the Debtors. John Barrett was only twenty-seven years old when President Cleveland appointed him minister to Siam. Th. first important task which confronted the youthful envoy was to press a claim against the Slamese government for $1,000,000. Experienced ambassa- dors warned him against using threats in obtaining the money. “Be cunning; avoid arrogance,” they said. “That is,” responded Mr. Barrett, “you favor tickling with a straw tc pricking with a bayonet.” The statesmen nodded assent. When the young minister had finally succeeded in collecting the claim the ambassadors asked In astonishment, “How did you accomplish it?” “By tickling,” explained Barrett. “I bad to tickle them almost to death, though, before they agreed to pay it.” Na, a — re Quaint Remedies. * Among the members of the Greek church in Macedonia the following recipes are regarded as highly usefu!: To pacify one's enemies write the psalm “Known In Judea,” dissolve it in water and give your enemy to drink thereof, and he will be pacified.
