worshipers within the fated edifice
seemed eager to surrender. But not
all, Tor when a party of them, feeling
IL to be a desperate measure, rushed
10 open the entrance. they came face
to face with young priest, standing
resolutely before them with uplifted
crucifiX.
"Back I" he cried. "What think
We to do? Will ye betray and deliv-
er up your Lord for self? Will We see
the sacred house of the Lord violated
and despoiled, hoping to save your
own lives 2"
His firm and noble bearing made
them pause. They caught for a
moment some of the lofty spirit that
flashed from him, and stood irresist-
able. Then one of them ventured to
plead,-"But we cannot burn here
like vermin in trap.n
"You cani You can ~ he cried inn
petuously. 81 can, and you can, If
necessary. Your lives who gave
them? Your souls f! who saved them?
And now follow me to the altar that
we may beseech him who is our
Greater and Saviour to avert this
evil! And if it is not his will to
avert it, let us die true to God and
his church."
Death threatened them on every
side; and they. commended their
souls to God and awaited the result.
Suddenly the great doors gave way
before the heavy blows shower upon
it. and the now exasperated North
men poured into the church and came
straight up the naye toward the altar.
Some of the timid people fled into
the aisle and retreated to the choir;
but some kept their places, and many
of these the savage warriors slew
without mercy.
A party of three of the Mortimer
were slightly in advance of the rest,
and came leaping up the very steps
of the altar bent on the death of the
priest, who as they had learned had
induced the people to resist. Already
they were raising their swords to
strike him, as he stood there facing
them with clasped hands and uplifted
eyes, when loud command in their
own language from some one behind
causing them to pause and look
back.
A stern. naughty viking, evident
ly the leader sprang up the steps,
thrusting the men roughly aside
and stopping only long enough to
articulate in broken language the
words "Andrew brother,ahe turned
to his astonished companions, and in
his own language commanded the
carnage to be stopped. His tones
were those Of man not to be dis
obeyed. Then casting one last, ten
der glance at the young priest, the
viking leader strobe down the naye,
followed by his reluctant yassals, and
left the church. Straight back to the
sea he led the way, and the whole
band embarked and set sail. The
people succeed in tearing away and
extinguishing the burning rafters,
and the church was saved. Then
having cared for the dead, they once
more gathered within the sacred edi-
flee, and offered thanks for its pre-
served sanctity and for their own al
most miracu Gus escape.
When the people afterward eagerly
inquired of Andrew about the unex-
pected mercy shown by the stern
leader of the Mortimer, he told them
the story of that Other Christmas long
ago, and of the young viking whom
his fathers roof had sheltered, and
who, I hardly need say, was the
naughty leader.

Management Of Ungraded Country
Schools.

Of all the different classes Of
schools, these are the most difficult
to successfully manage. 1t requir-
es, tact, skill, originality and com
mon sense to conduct properly an
ungraded country school. In the
cities, the work is laid out in print
ed manuals by principal or super
intendent, and each teacher forms
only one cog in a complicated sys-
tenn Of wheels. AT the end of each
month a written examination is re-
quired by the superintendent to
test the results. But in the coun-
try school the teacher combines as
sistant, principal and superinten-
dent. The irregularity of attend
ance should be thoroughly consid-
cred by each teacher in his meth
ods of instruction. We should
carefully study these questions;
What instruction will best fit the
children for life duties? What
knowledge is of most worth to
them? What things are essential?
A lady or gentleman gifted with
common sense viii look at the mat
ter in this form: these boys and
girls are the sons. and daughters OF
farmers, mechanics and working
men. The boys are most likely to
follow the same occupations while
the girls viii more or less become
wives of the same class of men, and
will keep house. As a rule Of Gus
tom, every teacher must, to a GER
tain extent, decorate his pupils
with educational paints and feath-
ers; but there is plenty Of room left
for the exercise Of sound judg-
ment.
As an axiom, we may safely take
this statement Of John Stewart
Mills: "The aim Of all intellectual
iraining for the mass ofthe people,
should be TO olltirdte common
sense"
In The country school leave off
all non-essentials in order to give /
the pupil thorough training in es-
sentials.

The hing petition % lho Special
Greek Delegation, Messrs Wash
Grayson and James l.amey, % the
Interior Department, is an excel
lent exposition ofthe unhappy dis
Organization and a manly plea 70
the United States government 10 do
justice 10 the Crsok Nation. They
urge the Department lsl, loplalnly
tell spieeeheo that there shall be
no partition OF Creek lands of
oihcr Interests, 2nd, 10 withdraw
troops and give the Greek judiciary
their proper jurisdictions Srd, To
send all Of the spieeehoe party
home and rely on the amnesty Of
the Greek government TO the Spice
cheo followers. These requests
are reasonable but at all events,
whore there has been so much
blood shed and such serious disor-
der among the people Of the Terri
tory, il does look as though the In
terror Department might have the
mercy TO use It's strong arm in the
preservation of life, property and
civil government. Instead Of this,
either from a desire TO break down
tho Creek government or con-
temptible weakness, they have in
terferod just far enough to prevent
the Crock Nation from defending
herself, and not far enough to put
down the insurrection. BY virtue
of the governments action, the re-
volt has actually been strengthen
ed.
If Spieechee is to be given the
right to tear the Creek government
and her lands asunder, forheaven's
sake, let it be done and ovor. If
he is a rebel and reasonable, with
out cause, for heavens sake pun
ish him and be done with that, but
do not keep the Creek Nation in a
state of suppressed revolution by
the two parties, nose
to nose, with teeth showing and
lips trembling with passion. III
they are to fight let them fight, if
they are to make peace with each
other let them make peace, if they |
are to separate let them separate,
but in the name of peace, let the
dog and cat panorama |
stop.
Spieechee issues a proclamation
of principles, full of the old decla-
ration of loyal Creekism. This
party is not peculiarly loyal, and
.he Constitutional party is full of
men who were loyal. The fact is,
he Southern Confederacy has been
lead and buried some seventeen
years and all men of all parties are
low loyal. This loyal -Creekism
S a fraud. IfSpieechee has griev-
lnces give him a hearing and set
lie the matter according to the
light of it. We doubt not he has
'een aggrieved and that his party
n turn have acted grieyously, but
he Constitutional party ought to
'e supported in the administration

Ed. CHIEFTAIN;-Your cores

a recent issue Of your paper, ha,

by you respecting the same. Ny
opinion is you are both wide of The

the Choctaws were far ahead of the
Cherokees in progress and enter.
prise, if so, God help us. You at
tempt to prove it by arcvenue they
collected last year on coal, which
amounted to $4,000 whereas We
only got $7,65. That may all be
correct, but how did the Choctaws
get to be so very progressive. II
you do not know | will try to ex-
plain; ten years ago Mr.. McAlis-
ter and Mr.. Bob Ream started to
open up the McAlister mines but
the Choctaws were so very much
opposed to such progressive meas
ures that Mr.. McAlistcr and Ream
had to flee or get killed. They
both came here to Vinita. McAlis-
ter went on to Washington and got
United States protection and a
lease to mine from the Secretary Of
Interior. He then incorporated
what is now known as the Usage
Coal Mining Company. Hence,
the Choctaws first start progress
siyely and their revenue also, it
was the dog in the manger policy as
long as they had their own way,
but luckily for them their power
was limited. So you can see the
Choctaws were forced to beprogres-
sive against their will and inclina-
tions. Your 0swego correspondent
says that there is coal enough min
ed and sold from this district to
have brought 81 900 into the treas
ury, if honestly collected and paid
over. But he seems to have his
doubts on both points, and he has
come TO the conclusion that sur
face mining ought to be discontin-
ucd, for various reasons. First,
the coal will be required for future
generations. To that will reply
by stating that science will develop
some system of cooking and heat
ing by electricity in the near future
Then his other objection is that it
will destroy the land. Ii will GER
-ainly leave great ponds where the
surface and coal has been removed,
bit that will be a blessing to fu-
.ure generations as they can utilize
hem for carp ponds and raise their
)wn fish. He says he is in favor

The C;fU z4tfOFReY.

The appointment of ]. n. Cross to the
Office of city attorney for the ensuing year,
over Charles H. Benton, cannot be other
than calamity to the city. Mr. Benton
has demonstrated the fact, from his able
handling of all legel litigations and COM
plications of the city during the past year,
that he is peculiarly well fitted
for the discharge of the du-
ties and responsibilities incumbent upon
the Office. He has taken care that no IN
just claim for damages or other
wise brought against the city,
has been paid, and his sue
cess il all lawsuits of the city in the munic-
ipal and district court has established for
naturally bring to his Office a lucrative
and prosperous practice in the future.
Respecting the questionable legal ahili-
ty of his successor, the GLOBE has nothing
to say at this writing, but there are two
important facts which should be brought
before the public. One is that Gross is a
member of the park commission, and
naturally there must arise certain legal
complications between that COM
mission and the city respecting
the lands, highways, streets, etc.
which Will be demanded by the park COM
mission.
Another and perhaps more serious i'm
pediment to this man holding that Office is
legal impeachment. Our city charter
specifically prescrites that no one holding
contract with the city can hold city
office. Mr.. Gross is one of rhe stockholders
and one of the board of directors of the
Tribune which nov holds a contract with
the city by which it does the city printing
at a prescribed price.
The latter impeachment would seem final.
and should necessitate the election OF an
other city attorney at the adjourned meet
ing this evening.
