Houston, TEX, March 1S.-The city Demo-

by over q majority. He is a capable. progress
sfve man, was twelve years county treasurer and

Strip InvasIon-i ulI- Floods Excited.
TAHLEeUAH, I. t., March 18.-News of the in
vasion of the Cherokee Strip by boomers was re-
ceived here to-day and created great sensation.
Indignation is SO great among the Cherokees at
the action of the invaders that if it were not for
the fact that the Indians are overpowered the
insult would be resented with Winchesters.
The talk on the streets and at the statehouse is
al of one kind-denunciation Of the boomers as
dsgraceful. but the blame OF it is laid on Presi-
dent Harrison. They attribute the invasion
largely to the presidents proclamation, expell-
ing the cattlemen from the strip, and it is evil
dent that the prospects for he settlemo Mt OF the
strip question is not nearly so bright as a week
ago. The full bIoods especially are
excited, and it is said they are holding secret
meetings denouncing the raid and conuemning
the Republican party for its course in dealing
with the cattle men. No information has been
receive as to the damage done by the boomers,
but it is said demand will be made on the
United States government for large sum to
cover injury to grazing.

On the Old Trail from Manitou-The
Timber Line-The North American Pika.
Scene on the Summit of the Peak-An
Impressive View.
In view of the opening of the wagon road
T. the summit of Pixies Peak, the following
account of a trip on foot may prove interest
ing:
To ascend Pixies Peak by the old trail from
Manitou is worthy the ambition of any young
person. Thus nearly every day during the
summer months may be seen from twenty to
thirty, some days more and some days less,
vending their way in Indian file along the
narrow, zigzag path, up the lcng steep
mountain side, some on hcrses or donkeys
and some on foot. While both old and young.
male and female, may be seen on the trail.
the majority are young or middle aged per-
sons, and the larger number are men or BOYS.
but it is quite common fa young ladies to
make the journey, and not unfrequently on
foot. Some make the ascent leisurely during
the day, arriving at the summit in the even
ing, and remain over night in order to enjoy
the sunrise
1t Is twelve miles from Mantou to the
summit, and the elevation to be overcome is
Of over 5000 feet and the peak 14,2f6. This
is about 600 feet to the mile The timber
Ene varies according to latitude and other
conditions. Here it is from 1900 to 1900
feet The same may be said IN regard to
snow remaining throughout the year While
there may be no snow on the summit of the
peak, it is found many feet in depth in shell
tered places little lower down.
THE TIMBER LINE
Ihe timber line Is in many cases sharply
defined The quaking aspen is common to a
high altitude, but scrubby pines are the most
conspicuous timber seen at the upper edge of
the line, and beyond this not a trace of any
kind OF woody growth is to be seen. But
fine short grass, where the surface is not
covered with rocks, is abundant, and there is
arproportion of pretty little flowers In great
variety, but mostly without fragrance.
About the timber line an occasional mag
PIE or snowbird may be seen, also an eagle or
hawk. But the most remarkable inhabitant
is the North American pika, little gray
animal about the size of guinea pig and
without any tail. 1t is classed with the hares
but the points of resemblance are very few
and rather indistinct It's home is in among
the rocks between the timber line and per-
petual snow. This is the only species of the
animal known in America. They are numer-
Gus, and several may sometimes be seen ali
once sitting on the rocks. Their cry reminds
one OF the prairie dog, but is less loud and
shrin. When approached they dart aoid
among the rocks and are safa

Associates.
BY Miss Eva Taylor.

Associates as defined by Mr. Webster
are companions or partners. They are
said to have originated at the beginning
OF creation When God placed Adam
IN the Garden of Eden. Adam being
secluded from society and wanting
company. God gave him an associate,
Eve.
1t must be one of the laws of ma
ture that We should have associates,
tor since the meeting of Adam and
Eve 1t has been handed down from
generation, to, generation and from
nation, to nation, Even among the
lower animals, this is noticeable.
We are at liberty to choose those
associates for ourselves and great
many times, we make mistake and
can not See it until it is too late. So it
lsnecessary that we make as good a
selection as possible. Think not be-
cause this one or that one has scared
to the height of power, that he is the
one to take for a companion. but choose
one that will be a help and guide, rather
than one who will act to the opposite.
Often do people suffer from re-
morse and are cast on the world SIM
ply because they choose tt eir associates
from elegant appearance. One modern
writer says, Choose not your compan
lohs from out side show. The feather
floats and the pearl lies below" 1t
Lot what kind of associates
are chosen, they will exert an influence
tor good or evil. 1t should be the
earnest aim OF every young man and
young woman to go into good society
not the rich, the proud and fashionable |
but the society of the wise, fhe intclli |
gent, the good and true. WheE we
find those who are well informed and
from whose conversation wa can gain |
Information, it's, always safe to be
found with them. Many persons ha
