INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.
Mr.. .Wolfe's Work-A Shop Where
Results may be Expected

Probably not one in ten Of our
citizens have an idea Of the extent
Of "Mr. Wolfe's shop" OF what is
sought to be done by and through
it. The accompanying report
gives all the data, financial and
otherwise, and will be read with
interest. The new plan of edu-
eating the hands and the mind to-
gether is a popular one nova
days, but there is, seemingly, no
place in the country where the
system could be so profitably en-
Ployed as here. To meet this
manifestly apparent want Mr..
Wolfe has prepared an industrial
department in his work here, of
very considerable proportions.
A visit to the shop does not sug-
gest the idea of a Juvenile play
house, but a veritable factory
where ali kinds of wood work is
to be conducted Systematically and
with an appearance of business.
The building contains a ten-horse
engine, a boiler, and more ma
chimes than can conveniently be
opers.ed in twice the space occu-
pied. There is scarcely a kind of
wood work which cannot be done
with the appliances at hand, while
by the use of the forge, emery
wheel, etc, many other tools can
be produced as required. The
pupil of this institution who. be-
comes an expert with the facilities
provided viii never be long in
want Of a situation and will not be
compelled to content himself with
the wages of the common laborer.
All the machinery is in place

the past six months, that most of
the teaching has devolved upon
Miss Graham and Mr.. Ward. The
school, be it said to the praise of
God, has been made a blessing to
the community, and many kind
and complimentary things have
been said ofthe good work accom-
plished 10y the painstaking and
consecrated teachers.
Through the winter and spring
months meetings have been held
in cottages, and in our humble
school house, all with considera-
bic blessing. The thing we stand
most in need of at the present time
is a mission school house that
will accommodate between two
and three hundred scholars. 1t
would answer a double purpose,
that of teaching and preaching.
For one thousand dollars a COM
modious building. furnished with
modern seats and desks, could be
erected, as the lot has already
been secured and paid for. VIII
rot some who may read this re-
port, and who possess the ready

that would pay big dividends in
eternity.

or course the foregoing doDa-
tiOns could not go a great way in
the support of so large a family,
but the Lord helped US as we
helped Ourselves, and it was amaz-
ing how the Lord blest the work OF
our hands, especially in vegetable
raising, so that we have lacked
no good thing.
a number of the citizens of vi
nita desiring to give their children
the benefits Of our Bible School,
sent their children and paid their
tuition, the funds thus coming
in going mainly to supply our
daily necessities.
Beginning with the month of
May, with the assistance of Broth
ers Lamb and Ward, a founda-
ton was laid for Wood. working
Establishment and Manual Labor
Training School-an instituti on
where our boys might learn a use
full trade. With but a little over
four hundred dollars in hand, the
result Of 4 real estate transaction,
the writer went to St. Louis to see
to the purchasing of an engine and
outfit for the shop in prospect.
Armed with a kindly letter OF
introduction from DR.. James II.
Brookes, the pastor of the Wash
ington Avenue church, in that
city, and accompanied in person
most of the time by one of st.
Louis energetic young Christian
business men, Mr.. James E. Fogg,
in a short time the sum of five
hundred and eighty dollars was
subscribed by Christian business
men and others. In addition
to this when the object of the
institution was presented to the
dealers in and manufacturers Of
the various pieces of machinery
needed in a woodworking estab-
lishment, (Messrs. Hall 4 Brown
and Mr.. Theo. X. Wormer, } they
generously thre's off their profits
and freely donated them to the
cause, SO that we have probably
an entire money value in machin-
cry of some $4,000 CT s1500.00.
The shop is I6x40, most OF it two
stories in height. As we have
said. the factory has for its object
the educating of our boys in The
chair-making and wood-turning
trades, and we hope to make a
sufficient profit on our goods so as
to conduce, in no small degree, to
the self support of the work in
general. We do not want to turn
out lazy Christians from our Home.
We have enough of that sort now
in the world-in the ministry and
out of it. Faith and works" go
well together. James and Paul

great injury to the cause Of Christ.

statements. This argument says
the Delawares "shall become
members of the Cherokee nation,
with the same tights and immu-
entities, and the same participa-
'tion (and no other) in the ma
"tiOnal funds as native Cherokees,
''save as herein before provided. -
Analyze the last sentence: The
Delawares are 10 have the same
participation as native Cherokees
mo other participation except the
one before provided, or mentioned
which is that they must, under
any circumstances, in the event OF
allotment, have 100 acres. They
may get more; they cannot get
less, even if the Cherokee nation
should decide to admit ten or forty
thousand more friendly Indians
east Of the seth degree, and reduce
the acreage per capita TO a half or
tenth part Of its present esti-
mate.
Much stress is laid upon the
fact that the lands west of the Ar
kansas river were neither enumer-
ated nor mentioned when the
agreements with the adopted In
dians were entered into. Thi. is
supposed to be I strong and con-
elusive point. Assuming that the
lands in question had been sold
under the treaty of 1866, and this
the learned correspondent claims,
then as before stated, the proceeds
of the same are part OF the na-
tional funds 10 which we claim,
under the agreement, "Ihe same
participation as native Chero-
KEGS" But possibly these lands
had not been sold and for further
information upon the subject we
will consult the constitution of the
Cherokee nation. Amendment to
Article l says: ~The boundary of
"the Cherokee nation shall be that
described in the treaty of 1S3S."
The said treaty mentions and de-
fines, not only the lands upon
which we now live, but those west
of the Arkansas river as we'll.
Consulting the constitution fur
ther, we see that Sect on 2 says:
"The lands of the Cherokee ma
"tiOn shall remain common prop
"erty," &c. Common OF belonging
to whOm2 The citizens Of the na-
ton, of course Who are the citi-
zens of the nation? Section 3,
page 81, compiled laws answers
this question. "All native born
"Cherokees, all Indians ; =
legally members of the nation by
adoption shall be
''taken and deemed citizens of the
Cherokee nation" The amend
ments to the constitution Just
quoted were adopted November
2Sth, 1866, several months after
the ratification of the treaty of
1866. They were necessary
amendments that the constitution
(Which makes all acknowledged
treaties the supreme law Of the
land) should accord with the said
treaty. From the foregoing
clauses of the constitution Just
quoted these conclusions of neces-
sity follow:
First-That the Cherokee lands
west of the 96th degree are a part 1
Of the public domain of the nation.
Second-That these lands are
common property, and conse-
luently any proceeds arising
rom them is common property, |
belonging to the citizens of the
nation.
Third-ThAt ali native born
and all Indians legally ]
members Of the nation by adoption
ire citizens of the Cherokee nation.
Therefore The adopted Indians,
he Delawares and Shawnees, are
entitled to and have an interest in
he lands west of the Seth degree,
which is a part of the public do
main. G. J.

FOR THE RIGHT" ANSWERED.
Equal Rights Bought and Equal
Rights Claimed.


Within the past few weeks the
present Cherokee delegates, D. W.
Bushyhead and John L. Adair,
have signed a memorial addressed
70 the Interior department. al
Washington, protesting against the
right of the Delawares and ehaw-
nees TO any share in the Cherokee
interests west OF the Arkansas
river Their argument IL identi-
cal with that to be found in last
weeks CHIzFrAIx, signed "For
the Right"
The DelaEares and Shawnees
were an indispensable factor when
their agreements with the CherO-
okee nation were being considered,
but after their completion-after
their money was turned over
then the Cherokee nation assumes
the authority to put its own con-
struction upon these agreements.
Is that construction just? We
have seen one side, now let US
look at the other side Of The ques-
ti0n:
Our rights to Cherokes citizen
ship are based upon the 18th arti-
Gle Of the treaty Of 1866, between
the government Of the United
States and the Cherokee nats9n.
which provides that "The United
States may settle civilized In
"dians within the Cherokee coun-
try on unoccuPied lands east of
1.-THE 96th degree, on such terms as
may be agreed upon by any such
-'tribe and the CherOkees, subject
ITO the approval of the president
'of the United States, which shall
"be consistent with the following
provisions, viz: Should any
such tribe or band of Indians
"settiirg in said country abandon
-their tribal organization, there
being first paid inte the Chero-
'kee national fund sum of mon-
s.sy which shall sustain the same
ProportiOn to the then existing
national fund that the number of
s lndians sustain to the whole
numher Of Cherokees then resid-
ling in the Cherokee country, they
"shall be incorporated into ara
eper after remain part Of the
Cherokee nation on equal terms IN
"srery respect Eith natiue Chero-
'kess." The said article goes On to
state further that friendly Indians
may, under certain circumstances,
be settled east Of the e6th degree
and preserve their tribal organiza-
ton, but with this we have Moth
ing to do, as we abandoned our
tribal organization and so far as
our status here is concerned it
rests exclusively upon the part Of
the treaty above quoted
Now. observe, we were TO settle
here on terms to be agreed upon
by ourselves and the Cherokee
nation. The price to be paid was
not stipulated; that was left open
for the two contracting tribes to
agres upon, but it was especially
provided that when the adopted |
Indians came here they were to be !
on equal terms IN eUeTy respect Nth |
satire Cheroksss." Not equas
terms west of Grand river or east
Of the Arkansas; not simply equal /
civil and political rights, but terms

as ths Delawares are concerned, |

their delegates, met and entered
into an agreement or made 8 bar

The powers that be, have out
done themselves in their efforts to
divide the "Quick and the Dead"
and keep the playground of the
school building separated from the
"City of the Dead" by the erection
of chickenyard fence between the
aforesaid premises. The fence is a
pailing fence nearly ten feet high
and well calculated to keep anyone
from either climbing in or out, but
this seems a superfluous precau-
tion since the parties who inhabit
the cemetery can't get out anyhow

Almost any boy or girl can tell
pou what q picnic is like, but /
wonder how many know why it is
so called, or that the custom is said
to date only from 1902, not hum
dred years ago.
Then, as now, when such an en-
tertainment was being arranged
for, it was customary that those
who intended TO be present should
supply the eatables and drinkables.
Originally the plan was to draw up
a list of what was necessary, whicn
is an excellent one to follow, for
often, when there has been no pre-
yious egreement, it is discovered =,
when too late, that there is too
much Of one kind Of food and not
enough Of another.
The list was passed round, and
each person picked out the article
Of food or drink he or she. was will
ing to give, and the name Of the
article was then nickcd Oft the
list. SO it was from those two
words, picked and nicked, that
this form Of out-of-doors entertain.

Her Picture On Every silver Dollar

The figure stamped on the face of
our Bland silver dollar is an exact
likeness of Miss Anna w. Williams.
a Young lady Of Philadelphia. The
profile is the work of a young Brit.
on named Morgan. When Mr..
Morgan came to this country, in
1876, to devise stamp for coinage
of our standard dollar, he at once
entered the Academy of Fine Arts
at Philadelphia, that he might
more thoroughly Americanize his
work. Here he remained for sew
eral months, then spent several days
trying to sketch the head of the fam
ciful Goddess of Liberty.
Finally, he concluded to abandon
the idea of making fanciful de-
sign, and, in its stead, use the pro-
Gle of an American girl. Aided by
friend, he began searching for one
whose beauty would entitle her to
the honor Of the position. For
weeks he continued his search with
out success, until he was introduced
to Miss Williams, then a resident Of
1923 Spring Garden street, Phila-
delphia. With great difficulty he
pursuaded her to sit for a sketch.
After four trying sittiugs Mr..
Morgan succeeded in obtaining suf-
ficient tracing3 TO enable him to
proceed with his work. With what
degree of success he met may be
seen by an examination OF the sill
yer dollar. AS TO the beauty of her
figure, Mr.. Morgan declares her
profile to be the most perfect he
has ever seen either in this country
or England. For two years the
identity Of the figure was kept a
profound secret, and the original
picture is still carefully preserved

The fact that an enormous
amount Of Western dressed beef is
shipped from New York to foreign
ports has induced some New Workers
to organize II company to compete
with the Western companies by a
new scheme. 1t is intended TO
establish slaughter houses within a
short distance of the grazing lands
of Texas, and thus save tho expense
OF transportation to the Chicago
abattoirs, the fatigue to the cattle,
and the reshipment OF the dressed
material to this city. The company
has purchased plat of ground at
Fort Worth, Texas, containing 10
acres and has erected largo plant,
with facilities for killing aud stor-
ing 700 head OF cattle daily. A con-
tract has been made with n London
company which provides for the
delivery Of 300 tons weekly of
dressed beef to the steamers OF tho
