Paul Aiken and Cyprian Tayrien, the
half-breeds, are educated and intelli-
gent men and talked freely to reporter
regarding the condition of their people.
"Our tribe at present is neither increas-
ing nor decreasing in numbers, but it is
at standstill, they said ''The old
ones, who are full bloods, cling to the
traditions and superstitions of their
tribe and will never probably discard
their blankets and fringed leggings
But they are willing for their children
to be educated and the young people are
taking great interest in education
Their progress is good, and when the
next generation is in power the Osages,
instead of being the least civilized tribe
in the Territory. will be among the
leaders of civilization.
eve elect chief every two years,
and the country is divided into FIVE dis
trlcts, from each of which representa-
tives are elected to our council, which
is our legislative body. we have officers
corresponding to sheriffs and constables
who administer the law and preserve
order. Our people are almost unani-
mously opposed to the allotment of their
land in severalty, feeling that at pres
ent instead of being benefit it would
work harm. They are satisfied with the
present condition of things and desire to
remain as they are. However, they look
with friendly eyes on the opening of the
Cherokee outlet to settlement by the
whites. They wanted Oklahoma opened
and think white neighbors benefit
They have no rights on the land now
rendered useless and would prefer it
settled by whites than held by the
Cherokees. Our chief is a full-blood as
is also our council. The full-bloods are
in power on account of their majority,
and the progress of the tribe is retarded
on this account 1t will not be so when
the young and educated class get into
power. kansas City Star

met who was level-headed enough to
recognize a truly good man under a

I'm ready to stick to it,
It may be interesting to record, in
conclusion, that the pension which
Drane had promised to the reformed
couple was always paid promptly on the
| first of every month. Within a year,
however, series of inheritances raised
them far above the necessity for any
such charity. But they kept right on
drawing it just the same, and thus by a
little harmless dishonesty varied the
monotony of their otherwise exemplary
lives, wisely avoiding that excessive
virtue to which progressive good fortune
is the only real temptation in this world.

The Worst Form of SLAVERY.

To do wrong, or, what IS the same
thing, to refrain from doing right, whom
the time for action arrives, because wei
are afraid of what other people may say OF
think, is the worst form of slavery. To
break such bonds we need a deeper
conservation to truth and duty. We
may admit all the arguments against
such bondage, and yet fail to escape
from it; but, if we are faithful and loyal
to the good and the right-if in our In
most heart we love and honor them,
above all things-we shall find con,
tinually growing within us that moral
courage which wins for us our besAl
freedom.
