NOVEMBER MUSINGS.

| Ed. INDIAN CnIEFrAtS-The advent
| of November with its shadows and It's
sunshine, and with nightly air of SHARP
| frosis, reminds us that the season OF
4 the "scar and yellow leaf is near its
end, and that in u few weeks at most
We must be let the storm. arm our
selves against the frost and the snow,
and take refuge behind our frame,
brick and mortar walls. Naturally We
divide this life Of ours With a kind OF
ideal metaphor into seasons. We find
in the bud and blossom of sprinr, the
smiles and tears of April and the lean
ing toward a fuller life of May, the
semblance Of an infancy with its fresh
and innocent dreams. The sfalwart
summer is typical of our muscular
manhood, of our great hopes which
strong and yirile as they are, must
wait awhile for fruition. So we dream
deal and do little, while life passes
from Its morning dawn to the dazzle OF
its noontide. We grow as the trees
ana the plants do after the yernal
blossoming is over, and then suddenly
and ere We are aware, the harvest time
is upon us, and we ask ourselves what
has come of this life of ours which
seems now to have been 80 short, and
TO have accomplishments little. Al . il
Is not strange that we shlver at the
survey.
Where are the great deeds which We
meant to accomplish? The noble pur-
poses which we vowed 10 fulfill? The
fortune which We were to make? Well
may We be startled in our dreams over
lovely landscapes and under serene
skies for suddenly, even in this Now
ember OF life as ia the November of the
caiandcr, the wind shifts into chilly
quarter, the gray clouds gather and
the dreary rain drives us in doors.
What is this which is before usY We
strain our dim eyes to look If we can
into the gathering November misty,
and sometimes We see beyond them
the great December glaciers and the
frozen Sea, over which We shall travel
into the land of the eternal future.
$50 there must be an end of IL all we
say sadly Of friendly converse, Of gem
erors affection, Of sensuons pleasure,
of study and acquisition, OF this strug-
gle, which after all brought us exceed
lug great reward. Who will take the
places IN which we have thought our
selves of the first importance? Who
will do our duties? Who viii bid good
morning to the loved ones and who
good nightY We shall be missed no
doubt, just a triile at first, for day or
two, they will talk Of us, and then we
murmur to ourselves those five lines Of
Bryant which says "thaf the solemn
tram Of care will plod on, AMI each one
chase his fayorite phantom.
Spring, summer and autumn we shall
leave for those behind as, but for us is
the cold and frozen obstruction OF win
ter. Even while we thus muse, half
nliserably, the skies are clear again,
the earth is once more bright, the
warm sunbeains come sianting down
and we enjoy again that health, and
day which Emerson says 'makes the
pomp of Emperors ridiculous"
We are again strong for the strife,
but with our sense of strength mingles
a child like acquiescence in the ineyit-
able, and so with no vulgar assumption
Of courage and yet with no fear We wait
the end. X. III. +.

Mn. EDIToR: After spending some

fairs at Muskogee and Einita, which
so much has been well and truly said

ranged, such as We used to see in the
South, in ante beiiam times. How
much land he owns did not enquire,
and it is doubtful whether he could
have told me if / had, but as to it's
richings and fertility any one with half
an eye could see. Much Of this land is
in high state of cultivation and no
where have seen a finer orchard,
loaded down AS il Was with all the fin

strict temperance man, he does not
neglect his vineyard. In his front
yard was pleased to see, for the first
and last time, in two years, red top
clover growing luxuriantly. Bat while
time and space will not allow an sde-

place and surroundings, there are one

interspersed with giant walnut, pecan,

with fine organ that adds much to
the otherwise good singing. Here
every Sabbath morning this good man

good old text book, the Bible. This is
conducted in English; after which he

COOPERATION.

EDITOR INDIAN CuIEFrArx:-
As you are anxious to have parties
correspond with your valuable
journal and seeing that but few
respond to your solicitation, i have
concluded to break the ice by writ
ing something for the benefit of
my fellow men, viz: l have a pro-
ject in view, which, if it meets the
approval of the people, would, in
my opinion be a great advantage
to all concerned. II is this: If
100 citizens Of this place would
form a cooperative society and LET
the shares be $50 per share, which
would amount TO s5,o0o-now, if
the company would then select q
suitable location for sheep ranch,
and invest the funds i'm sheep II
would be the means of starting an
industry that would pay the share
holders handsomely, besides set
ting an example TO other localities
throughout the whole Indian Ter
ritcry- Cooperation has been
great success among the working
class in Europe, particularly in
England. II was first started in
that country in the year 1874, l
believe, by the Rev. DIR. Holyook.
He has recently been lecturing in
Now York, Boston and other cit
les, on Cooperation.
II is needless for me 10 ontcr in
to all the details, in this article,
with respect to the practicabiliiy
Of establishing such an organiza-
ton. l have spoken with several
intelligent men in and around
Ninita, who are anxious to 60 into
the scheme, all that is required is
for those who are not posted, is to
consult with those who have read
of the beneficial results accruing
frogl such societies, If 50, 1 feel

impressed thar their efforts had not been in
vain. Captnin Halliday believes that the
commerce committee, which has, until now,
been systematically opposed to making
the Mississippi river the subject of
special appropriations, Is now differently in
cined and will act favorable upon the ap.
preparation asked for by the Misssissippi

Captain Halliday expresses himself In
terms of praise Of Captain ]. II. Thomas,
for the deep interest and the energy which
that gentleman manifests in all matters re-
latng to Mississippi river improvements.
Capt. Thomas had been Ill for some DAYS

committees. 1t Was due greatly to the eff.
torls Of Dir. Thomas that the commit,e. Of
seven received such early and such marked
rs ogn,ion ami was able to make
such quick disposition of the important
duties entrusted to it. Captain Thomas is
man OF more Influence at Washington
than some people suppose; he is recognized
as man Of more than ordinary importance,
is on intimate terms with other in
tlucntial men, and S entirely in favor of tho
Improvement Of the Mississippi river in
