AN ANGEL UNAWARES.
Tho Wonderful Effect Of Kindness o
Humanity.

Tho Wonderful Effect Of Kindness ON
Humanity.
1t is undoubtedly true that occasion
ally ''one touch of nature makes the
whole world kim" The New York
World gives an instance that illustrates
the truth OF the old proverb. A news
boy took the Sixth avenue elevated cars
at Park place, and, sliding into one Of
the cross seats, fell asleep. At Grand
street two young women entered the
car, and took the seats opposite the lad.
The boys feet were bare, and his hat
had fallen off. Presently the younger
girl leaned over and placed her muff
under the little fellows dirty cheek.
An old gentleman in the next seat who
had seen the kind act smiled, and. with
out saying any thing, held out quar-
ter, with nod toward the boy.
The girl understood what he meant,
hesitatcd moment, blushed little
and then reached for it.
The next man, who had seen the act
and enjoyed it, just as silently offered
the girl dime, to be used for the same
purpose. A moment later q woman
across the aisle held ont some pennies,
and before she knew il, the girl, with
flaming cheeks, was offered money
from every passenger in that end of the
car, each smiling and enjoying the little
episode.
The young girl quietly slid the amount
into the sleeping boys pocket. removed
her muff gently from under his head
without arousing him, and soon after
rose to leave the car at Twenty-third
street. AS she did this, she included
all the passengers in pretty little in
clination Of the head, that seemed full
of thanks, and the possession of COM
mon secret. II was a very pretty little
incident and will not soon be forgotten
those who saw il.

FALLING MIRO LIME.
r. K. Adair Endorses Mr.. Trott's
Ideas.

cHKLsnA, /. r.. March 9th, 1901
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN, DEAR SIR
see a letter in your paper from
Mr.. w. l.. Trott on the condition
of our country in which he invites
the opinion of others. Mr.. Trott
handles his subject ably, and
everything he alleges is the "nak-
ed" truth, and too apparent to mis-
lead anyone. am truly glad
that Mr.. Trott has taken the stand
he has on this question, for it
shows to my mind that there is an
up rising, SO to speak, of the
people to the true conditi on of af-
fairs in our country. ! spoke to
Mr.. Trott some months ago in re-
gard to the question of allotment
as a remedy for our troubles. He
seemed to think then that it was
only move Of politicians to curry
favor in this district, but / am
glad to see that he has changed
his opinions, for in my opinion l
believe it the only remedy for our
anomalous condition, and have
advocated it for some time, hon.
estly believing that the time had
arrived for action. The idea so
nuch mooted by the so-called, or
as they would like to be called, pa
triots, that the fullblood, are not
ready for this change is all bosh.
They are just as ready now as
they will be twenty years from
now and by that time they will
have a mess of potage for an
heritage. At the present rate of
increase, and influx of intruders
and the monopoly of the public
domain, l think FIVE years will be
ample time to allow for the gob-
bling of every foot of land that is
worth the trouble, and then as
Mr.. Trott says, if we wait until the
United States does this business
for us she will only allow so acres
per capita for heads of families
and adults, and 40 acres for min
ors; nothing for your wife, or
mother, who has had the same in
terest in the estate that you have.
Whereas, five have this done our
selves, and now, we will get from
160 to 200 acres for every man,
woman and child. Why, Oh,
why, don't some of our so-calle d
public men come out on this SUBJ
ject. Very Respectfully,
r. X. ADAIR.
p. ST. too am in favor of sell
ing the strip, but not for S1.25 per
acre unless we could incorporate
other considerations in the trade
of more value to us as nation
than the mere monetary consider
ations. Am also in favor Of with
drawing our invested fund and
running our government by taxa

Let us Follow His Advice.

CHELsEA, Ind. Ter March 25rd ls9l
EDITOR CHIEFTAIS:-The time Il
near for our county Alliance to
meet at Claremore. As member
of the order allow me to impress
upon the different unions to send
their best material. Men of uubi-
ased minds; men who are willing
or can lay aside all prejudice and
who will work for the good Of the
order and the people: Questions
.Qtr-ital Rnportance may be sprung
that will require cool deliberate ac-
ton. In that event it would be
desirable 10 have thinking men.
From past observations it seems
the Alliance was formed for a great
PURPOSE aud under all circumstan-
ces has proven to be on the side Of
the common people, where an OPP
portunity presented. If there
should be differences, let them be
momentary. IL is fact that all
are not perfect and differences are
liable to arise, but let them die aud
use them to advantage in the fu-
ture. AS a whole, the present
status of the order is very Hat
teripg and by using prudence and
judgment much can be accom-
plished for the order and our peo-
pie. The Alliance is solid and
united and will work tremendously
to meet the issues before them.
The campaign is coming; the lead
ing men Of all parties in our nation
are looking around for weapons to
fight their battles with; they are
discussing the merits Of men and
measures and laying plans to Sc
cure SUCCESS in August next. Now
If we have differences, LET us lay
them aside and in one solid phal-
anx hover around the altar Of right
and justice, and proclaim in voices
of such magnitude and unison that
IL will be impossible to miscon-
strue over adherence of wrong and
our devotion to the principles Of
the order which are equal protec-
ton under the law TO all.
As Ever,

When anyone is in a position Eof
honor and profit and has ill-gotten
gains, and is determined if posi-
t. keep them, they will resort to
deception and confusion. That is
about the course the late council
pursued. They passed the COW
law and mineral law. cleaned the
treasury and then to prevent the
people from seeing their true. char
acter they stoppad4be hig6 school
passed-a eut-throat tax law on the
non.citizens, thinking the bona
fide citizens would believe they had
done the righteous duty in thus
grinding down the whites. But
they have not succeeded; they are
like the quail that flutters along
until its brood escapes. They be-
lieved that the people would fret
over these frauds and fail to intel
ligently discuss the COW and min
eral laws, but are mistaken. A

airy 9th is found the following,
which was written by the "tem-

President L. L. Polk, OF the na-
tional Alliance, has decided that
we cannot organize a state without
the consent Of the territoriaRbody,

that purpose will be fruitless. But
we would advise all the delegates
TO attend and discusstife situation

principles applicable to our country

No ONE who spends most of his
time in town can appreciate the
development going on in this
country. Fences are going up and
fields stretching out in every di-
rection. Not one acre was in culti-
vation five years ago where there
are fifty now and Ave years earlier
there was scarcely enough ground
tiled to make a comparison
with the present. 1t is not sur
prising that Tahlequah's favorite
correspondents, "Choonastootee"
and his folks, hold up their hands
in holy horror at the width which
the fields are taking up in this
part of the nation. II is calculated
to astonish, as well as crafty, our
own residents.

Mayes vetoed the bill leasing the

To The CHIEFTAIN:-My atten-
ton has several times been called
to the action of some members of
the +. A. IL |. U. which met nj
Tahlequah for the purpose Of or
ganizing a state body for the CherO
kee nation and whichc,as all He
gal and calculated to DO the order
great injury. Such steps are call
culated to confuse some of our
p,Gmbers; no such action can be
Ieralized without the consent OF the
territorial Industrial Union, as it
would1 conflict with our charter
rights which cover the entire
Indiat Territory. | am assured
by BrI L. L. Polk that no charter
can bt issued to the Cherokee ma
ton without the consent of the
Territorial union. | have and will
continue to protest against any
now ment to divide our Territorial
Unicn for these reasons: We have
not got a population sufficient TO
support two state bodies with our
present dues and to divide us into
two state bodies would incur doub-
lie the expense, without ad ddlug
anythingto our numerical strength.
Further, | am officially informed
from the Cherokee nation that
such action as was taken at Table
quah, if it could be successful,
would prove disastrous to our no.
bic order, creating division among
our membership. Brethren, we
are all aware that in union there is
strength; let every member stand
square on this united effort to hold
the Industrial union of the b /. T
in one solid body until the time
comes when we shall have a popu.
lation sufficient TO run two state
ibodIos-then, and not until then,
will il be expedient to divide oul
