Col. A. NJ. Wilson, member OF the
Cherokee commission, spent Monday
in this city and left for his home in
Fayetteville that evening. Ills asso-
ciates had preceded him TO their
homes and nothing further will be
done for TWO or three weeks. There
are twenty-one tribes in the territory
to whom the commission intends max.
ing propositions looking ts the ces-
sion OF portions Of their reservations.
Col. Wilson says his advice to the
Cherokees has all along been this:
First ascertain the facts as they ex-
list regarding your lands and then do
wha, seems to be for your best inter
ests. lie thinks the fifteenth article
of the treaty OF 1866 is the source Of
continuous danger (relating to the
settlement OF Indians east Of 90 de-
grees) and believes tho Cherokees
should embrace the FIRST oppor tunity
presenting itself for getting rid Of it.
Legislatures, he says, cannot be de-
pended upon, neither can councils.
Col. Wilson built law Office in 1919
and until within q very short time his
office has occupied the sam c spot.
True, it was destroyed, as was his
residence, during the war, but was
shortly afterwards rebuilt on the same
site.

Dirtying "A Rug.

A couplu of ladies who were recently
calling in Brookline, says the Boston
Courier, were ushered into a parloI
upon the floor OF which lay 4 rug with
q middle OF solid crimson. After they
had crossed this brilliant expanse they
were Mortified by the discovery that
every footstep which they had taken
was clearly printed in dust upon the
otherwise stainless surface of the rug.
As they sat guiltily regarding the
solid rug the small daughter OF the
hostess came into the room, and the
minute she entered her eyes fell upon
footprints.
s'Oh, lust see there what you've
done, y she cried. ..You just see whal
nv will do to YOU: she had
that rug all cleaned nice this morning
for company tonight. She told me she'd
send me 10 bed without any icc-cream
ii 1 stepped on it,"
This was al delivered in a tone OF
voice which left no room for doubt OF
its sincerity, and the callers were
divided between a sens of their guilt
and an inclination to laugh ut the man
uer in which il was brought home TO
them. Fortunately for their peace Of
mind the hostess entered at that mo-
ment and explained that the rug was
one which showed every trace Of dust,
and that she fould it necessary TO take
strong measures to keep it free from
the tracks of her children's feet. buI
that il was NOS an oftcnse to step on il
for which she could not forgive bel
friends.

How an Indian Uses d Whceibarrow

The Crows are the red Yankees efthe
northwest. They have the commercial
instinct well developed. They bring
hav and wood TO Billings and they
carry back all manner of truck to the
reservation. The other day a party OF
them bought a cookstove and its &C.
compartments. Their wagon was some
distance away at the camp. If there Is
ANYTHING which developes awkward
ness it is trying to lift and carry some
thing heayr. The merchant told the
stove purchasers to put it on the
wheelbarrow that was nea by and get
il down to the wagon in that way. One
of the squaws carried the washboilcr
That portion of the problem was easily
comprehended. After five or ten min.
utess Juggling and grunting the stove
was loaded on the barrow. Then
Indian intelligence struggled with the
flea of locomotion. A white maj
could never guess how those Indians
wheeled that barrow. Two of the bucks
took positions with their backs to the
handle. A third bent over the wheel
behind and pushed. In that order the
procession moved. Montana Letter.
