1t would be difficult to name among
the women who shone in the aristo-
cratic circles of the last century a lady
more distinguished by personal and
mental endOwments than Georgiana
Spencer, the eldest daughter of John,
first Earl of Spencer, born In 1867. AZ
ter her marriage to William Cavendish,
fifth Duke of Devonshire, in IVA she
became the centre of d brilliant circle
in the world of fashion where her wit
taste and accomplishments rendered
her society powerfully attractive, rally
ing around her the political and literary
celebrities of the period. Besides be-
ing a leader of fashion the beautiful
Duchess of Devonshll{e made her mark
as a poetess. Georgiana's beauty was
of "a kind which attracted humble folk
a powerfully as her OWN select circle.
Wherever she appeared n public, at
election times, on race courses, ETC.,
she met with the most cordial recep-
ton. Her adventure with the butcher
whose vote for Fox she purchased with
a kiss, is well known, and the ecstacy
of a young farmer, who stood close to
her at some races, and rapt in admira-
ton exclaimed: "Ah, IL I was only
God, the Almighty, she would be the
queen of heaven" Is but one tribute
among many paid spontaneously to the
charms OF her appearance. Even time
dealt tenderly with the beauty of the
Duchess Of Deyonshire. preserving
the attractions OF her lineameuts in
face and figure to an advanced age.
Unfortunately she lost one of her eyes
shortly before she died, in 1906.

longer hiding under cover in opposing the
passage of the Oklahoma bill. Unlike the
coal companies recently formed in Kansas
TO control the fuel supply Of the Territory
and the surrounding States. the great cat
tie trust, known as the International Range
Association, has the courage to fight openly
for Oklahoma and the vast country between
the Red river aud the southern boundary Of
Kansas. At a recent meeting of branch
association al Gainesville, Tex, the cattle.
men boldly uncovered their purpose to fight
the Springer Oklahoma bill This declara-
ton creates no surprise here, as it has long
been known that the Indian delegation and
the cattle men have an alliance offensive
and defensive. and that the money to slim
ulate opposition to the bill does not come
from the Indian tribes. The cattle trust"
Is making a great mistake, as it has no le.
gal rights in the Indian Territory. and now
confesses that the friends OF the Oklahomr
bill were charged in regard to its interfer-
ence with legislation to open the Indian
mand on Congressman with which they
will hardly be willing to comply with the
