The very same lady that gave me the
"grand shake" last winter, just because l
chew tobacco, is the one saw in Mrs.

of gum out of her mouth and stick it to
the bottom of her chair, while she got
away with couple of saucers of cream,
and then transfer 1.-THE gum-back to
her great big "mouf." We were lucky
in getting the shake.
The papers, some time since, set Sept.
list as being the time that the Kaw lands
would come into market, and that pay
ment would be required at that time, yet

given by the Secretary of the Interior or
Land Commissioner, and we don't believe
such will be the case; but we do know
hot s1,r L. hox

Ryan explain? KENO.
