BARLY « thousand residents of New York City—961 is the actual number—were reported missing during the last three months of 1913. Ahd of these the police found only 194. Cases that find their way into the newspapers are after all but § bandful compared with the hundreds of missing persons about whom tothing is printed and who figure only in the records of the police. The extraordinary ease with which men, women and children can Hip out of sight in e big city like New York is a common eubject for wonder, In the past few months, however, the total of missing persons is said to have been far higher than usual. Taking into ac¢ount all causes—sudden illness, accident, loss of memory, kidnapping, abduction—and the big clase of voluntary fisappearances, what remedies or precautions seem likely to reduce the number. Obviously it might be worth while to induce everybody to take -preater care that they end their children shall always carry eome permanent and definite means of identification. But conld we ever tubmit, like the people of German cities, to be ticketed and filed and kept track of by the police? Or is one of our inalienable rights as individuals freedom to disappear? ———_$_-+-—______ ' ‘Wealthy masher sent to the workhouse.—News {tem . Wealth had better stick to smuggling. + - ——___.

So enthusiastically did the public respond that the shares fora time sold at a good premium, But although the exposition was well attended and the exhibits were large and well diversified, the enterprise ultimately When in doubt use simplified apel!- will think you learned, resulted in a net loss to the promoters, Thereafter the bulfling was leased to the American Institute for its annual exhibitions: During one of these, on Oct. 15, 1858, it was destroyed by fire, Such is the brief history of the World's Fair and its building in the Empire City, as Gopyright, 4014 by The Prow Vublisbing Co, (The New York Ei ay.

With him were some j] of his Sac tribesmen. Their errand w: peaceful. To use Black Hawk’s own words, they were going to “steal their own corn.” In other words, to plant a crop on some rich and unoccupied land that had once been theirs and had been taken over by the Government. Their present reservation was nearly barren, and the extra crop was sorely needed to avert famine, There 1s no reason to believe the band had any warlike Intention. But their presegce on the wrong side of the Missis- sipp! was made known to the local army commander, Gen, Atkinson, who ordered them back. Black Hawk explained that his errand was peacefal and that he and his men would go home as soon as the corn planting was finished. A battalion of militia was at once sent to enforce the General's com- mand, Black Hawk. who was camped in a forest, supposed that the troops had not understogd his explanation, and sent a messenger, under flag of truce, to explain the situatic again. As the flag-of-truce bearer with militia one of the white soldiers lost hin head pal live Indians and snatched up @ al two comrades approached ¢ és at sight of three musket, Before any attempt could be made to stop him the militiaman fired on the flag of truce, The Indian who carried the flag dropped dead, And this wantonly idiotic shooting famous: ck Hawk war.” k, on learning that his messenger was shot, wathered forty d him and hid ina tangled thicket.

His band num- bered about 560, against more than 2,000 white foes. There were the usual raids and wholesale murders and skirmishes com- mon to Indian warfare and several pitched battles. Black Hawk sent to the following message: jack Hawk would have been a friend of the whites, but they would not let him. ‘The hatchet was dug up by them and not by the Indla Black Hawk meant no harm to the palefaces when he came across the Mississippi, but came peaceably to plant corn for his starving women and children, Even then he would have gone buck, but when he sent his white flag the b who carried it was inhumanly shot.
