bers make them very tender by over
heating and causing them to perspire.
They should only be worn during
stormy or slushy weather, and even
then should be removed as soon as one
enters the house. They draw the feet,
keep them hot ana wet with perspira-
tion-then as soon as one goes again
into the air the feet are chilled. In the
country | have noticed that the farmers
put some dry straw or pieces of newSpa-
per in the bottom of their boots. |,
myself. have often tried the latter. and
can assure you that it is a good pre-
ventive against cold feet. This is
doubtless because the paper or straw
absorbs the Precipitation and keeps the
feet dry.

SOME SLICK sCAMPs.

Yesterday Dir. Ernst Kraft. of Cowley
county, was in the city on business. and
while here gave his experience as a re
cent victim of a sharp swindle that Is
being perpetrated by a slick scoundrel in
the southern part Of the state. The
scheme has been referred to and exposed
heretofore III these columns, but the eX-
pose, Ii seems. has not had the effect of
stopping the robbers practice of 1t. The
fellow goes to a farm, writes descrlp-
ton of it, draws a diagram Of it, and Sc
cures all the data required, ostensibly
for some bureau of information or some
publication, and to show his employers
that the information is correct, and has
been obtained by him in person and on
thepremises, he politely requests the I'M
suspecting farmer TO witness the state
ment by signing his name. He goes
away, and in few days the farmer is
informed that his note for a stated
amount has been left for collection at or
been purchased by some bank or loan
agent.
The question, who should stand the
loss, the farmer who innocently and un-
suspectingly signed the note, or the
innocent purchas- r Of the paper? Clear
ly the man whose signature is surrepti-
tiously procured and received nothing in
return is not morally bound for its pay
ment, and it would be a stretch of
the principle Of equity to make him so
legally. The purchaser. too, is innocent,
perhaps, of any wrong intent, but he is
in that line of business, and his transac-
tions are based upon his judgment. If
ne is imposed upon it devolves upon him
to hunt up the -imposter and assist in
bringing him to justice. If an example
could be made of one or two such viii
lains,-from a ropes end or states prison
as go about the country on such mis-
sions, the community would be very
promptly rid of their likes.

It seems there was mistake IN the
statement contained in yesterdays dis
patches in regard to the Cherokee strip
being embraced in the Oklahoma terri
torial bill passed by the house Thursday.
The territory meant TO be embraced, and
was so specified in the bill, is No Mans
Land, and not the strip. This will be a
sore disappointment to large number
of people who nave already gone upon
the strip and others who are now en-
route. What the outcome of the matter
will be cannot be conjectured at present.
The chances are that all who have gone
there or may go before some definite ac-
ton is taken by congress to settle the
claims of the Cherokee Indians 10 the
lands will be required to vacate. If the
occupancy of those lands can but have
the effect Of fastening such settlement,
the misrepresentation above referred to
will be in the nature of a fortunate mis-
take. This mornings dispatches are
more explicit as to the details of the bill
as it passed the house.

She Sells Leather Jackets.

Suddenly the whole atmosphere of
the reception room underwent change
by the entrance Of strikingly attrac-
tive little woman. She wore . long
ulster, faultlessly perfect in fit, q black
velvet toque with dash of black
wings in tho trimming, neatly fitted
gloves. and carried a silk umbrella
neatly twisted scientifically into . walk
ing stick. Her face, as she gave a
quick, observant glance around the
room, would be hard to describe.
Finding no attendant, she touched the
annunciator. Divesting herself Of um-
brella, gloves and ulster, she seated
herself at writing desk and wrote
something on card. As the bell-boy
made his appearance she said in sweet
voice and with pure Boston accent:
"Take this card to the Office and
register my name. will see about
room later. Bring me paper, envelopes
and q time card of the st. Paul Rail-
road"
She spoke in . quick, business-liEe'
tone, and yet thoroughly womanly and
refined. When the bellboy made his
appearance with the paper, envelopes,
and time card, with pleasant "Thank
you," she commenced to write. The
last letter--and there must have been
Q dozen-was directed and sealed; the
time card consulted; the bellboy called
again. In tho same sweet, low voice,
she said:

only on the anniversary OF her eVil
deed. So the girl took notice of the
exact day and hour and waited pa
tiently whole year long.
When the year had passed away and
the day had come back again, the
courageous maiden went with bundle
of washing OH her head, to the place
where the spell-bound lady of the cas-
tie had appeared. She took the pre-
caution to hide little wooden cross in
her bodice as a charm against evil
spirits. But the nearer she came to
the brook, the more her footsteps fall
tered, and her heart beat louder and
louder, and when she really saw the
enchanted washerwoman by the edge
of the water, she came very near turn
ing back. But the pale lady gave her
u look SO inexpressibly sad, that the
young girl overcame her fears and
fingered.
''My veil have washed for tEree hundred
years,
But as bloody as ever it still appears"
murmured the unhappy woman, and
she rubbed and rinsed the bloody linen
while she groaned and sighed.
Then the young girl took heart and
said: aIn the name of the Lord, give
me the cloth!" The pale lady looked
up with delight and handed the veil to
the maiden. And 10, beneath the
hands of the virgin, the red stains dis
appeared, and the linen became as
white and clean as newly-fallen snow.
Then bright tears rolled down the
pale face of the spell-bound lady; she
took the protfered veil and beckoned
to the maiden with her white hand.
Like will-o'-the-wisp she glided
over the ground, swerving now to the
right, now to the left among the fir
trees. From time to time she turned
her head to sec whether the maiden
was following her. She had grasped
her little cross and walked bravely be-
hind her weird leader, who went to-
ward the ruined castle.
In an underground vault, whose
roof had fallen III, the pale lady
checked her footsteps and pointed to q
stone, which was set into the floor.
The maiden raised the stone with her
strong arm, but the next moment she
started back with horror. In the hole
stood kettle, filled with gold pieces
and costly ornaments, but on the top
of it lay little dead child with a
bloody wound in its breast.
The young girl was about to run
away, but when she saw how the pale
lady wrung her hands in deep distress,
she remained where she was, and laid
the wooden cross she carried in her
hand, on the dead child's breast.
Then the lady in white folded her
hands and bent her head low. She
grew paler and paler like a dream at
the Growing of the morn-heralding cock,
and finally the misty form faded from
sight.
When the young girl turned her eyes
again toward the hole, the dead child
had disappeared, the cross lay on the
precious kettle, the yellow gold shonc
and glistened in the sunlight, which
came through the broken wall.
Without any further fears of appari-
tions, she carried her treasure-trove
safely home, and in the eyes Of the
young men became three times as beau
tiful as before.
