mand. The trade now calls for scores OF
household articles which an Indian had no
use for ten years ago. But the greatest
progress is shown in the patronage ofschools.
Immediately on the removal OF the Osages
to Indian Territory O large and handsome
school building was erected with funds set
apart for that purpose. For manv years 1t
seemed useless expenditure. The Indians
seemed determined that they would not
educate their children. They recognized
the advantages of an education to poor
white man, who ad his living to make. but
failed to see how they could be benehted
by any change in their mental status.
THEY HAD NO NEEDS.
Having plenty Of money, they reasoned
that year spent in school would be 80
much time wasted. Year after year their
faithful agents advised. persuaded and
threatened, but all to no purpose, until the
threat became a living measure. The In
dians were informed that their interest
money would be withheld il all children of
school age were not at school five months in
the year. This touched their pockets and
had the desired effect.
Within six years the attendance has in
creased from 25 per cent of the school popu-
latlon TO so per cent. When the other 20
per cent are gathered in, the Osages cannot
only pose as the weslthiest people, but
they will also carry off the palm as the
greatest patrons of education in the world.

The Wires Made Trouble With Business
Mans Harmless Message.
The telegraph played a merry game with
q business man the other day. says the New
York Times. He has been in the habit of
using the wire to convey all sorts of mes
sages relating to family matters, and he has
labored under the delusion that everybody
in the telegraph company's employ could
read his handwriting with ease and accu-
racy.
When he reached his store on the day in
question he got piece of news that sent
him to the nearest telegraph office in a
hurry. He wanted his wife to know the
glad tidings at once. There had been a Ger
tain joyful event in the household of a
cousin, who dwells over in Jersey, and so
the good man wrote out his message with a
light heart: "Am going to ks. Pretty
girl. Won't be home til! late tonight"
He made his trip across North river, saw
the new arrival, and didn't reach his domi-
cile until midnight. Much to his surprise,
his wife was sitting up for him. So was
her mother, who was paying them visit
Both ladies were icy cold in their demeanor.
They spoke rather viciously OF roues and
profigates and of what happened to such
evil persons.
The man was thunderstruck. 1t was all
a mystery to him. Convicted by his own
telegram" said his judges. The man was
still more perplexed. He wanted to see the
dispatch. 1t was laid before him and he
read: "Am going to kiss pretty girl.
Won't be home till late tonight" The
man has since then succeeded in convincing
his womankind that it was all telegrapher's s
blunder, but when he sends message home
now he prints it out in capital letters.

In large park, under stately old oak
tree, stood little yellow Daisy which was
very much dissatisfied with her lot In life,
and. in the two DAYS that she had been
blooming, lad found nothing worth Lying
for.
If could only climb to the top of the
tree as the vine does" she thought, II
but on this short stem 1 can scarcely see
over the blades of grass. Then, too, this
dress is so homely. How dull it looks In
comparison with those red tulips"
Through the trees the large white palace
could be seen, and sometimes the Daisy
heard the merry voices OF children; but they
were too intent on their own pleasures to
think of the lonely little flower. AS the
Daisy recounted in murmuriug tones Its
trials and grievances, it noticed that the
blue skv was growing gray and DARK ana
that the treetops were shaking violently.
what is the matter now, wonder, SAID
the flower.
Iarre drops then began to fall from the
clouds They beat noisily against the leaves
and fell so heavily on the grass that the
tender blades bent under the heavy weight.
A Raindrop struck the Daisy with such
force that the little flower drew back offended,
determining to have nothing to do with such
rude company.
81 beg your pardon, little flower, }" said
the Raindrop, "if 1 have hurt you; nut
came in great haste, and your little yellow
blossom seemed to afford such oeautliul
The Daisv, much pleased over this COM
pliment. asked in friendly tones: Have
vou come far?"
Ear" repeated the Raindrop, II hardly
know what YOU mean bv that; but L have
been On the way many days and nights.
