Z cannot say. and I viii not say
That he is dead; he is just away.
With a CHEEKY smile and wave of the hand,
he has wandered into an unknown land;
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be, since he fingers there.
And you-oh, you, who the widest yearn
For the old time step and the glad return
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of There as the love OF Here.
And loyal still, as he gave the blows
Or his warrior-strength to his country's foes
Mild and gentle as he was brave
When the sweetest love Of his life he gave
To simple things:-Where the violets grew
Pure as the eyes they were ikened to.
The touches OF his hands have strayed
As reverentIy as his lips have prayed;
When the little brown thrush that harshly
chirred
Was dear to him as the mocking-bird.
And he pitied as much as q man in pain
writhing honey-bee wet with rain.
Think OF him still as the same, say;
He is not dead-he is just away.

States he was presented with an ink
strnd which cost 1862. Think of
that, children! One of the delegates
to Congress, an Arizona man, was
such an admirer of Mr.. Lincoln, and
became SO fond of him, that he wished
to give him some token of his esteem
and friendship. He procured four
hundred ounces of silver from mine
in Arizona and sent it to Tiffany's the
largest jewelry and silverware house
in New York, to have it moulded into
an inkstand. 1t was handsomely
for the work was 1862. The cost of
the silver alone was $500. [ do not
know whether Mr.. Lincoln ever used
this inkstand, for it was only present
ed to him about a month before his
death, but it stood on his desk in the
White House at the time of his assass-
nation, and it may be that some of the
eloquent words and messages which
thrilled the hearts of the Northern
people at that time were written from
this inkstand. Mr.. Lincoln was a very
plain man, and had very simple
tastes, but [ am sure he valued the
inkstand as a work Of art and as me-
mento Of the love and respect Of a
true friend.
The inkstand is in possession of
Robert T. Lincoln, of Chicago, and it
is rumored that some day it will be
put in a conspicuous place, where it
may be seen and admired by the pub
lie. Who knows but it may be placed
in the Worlds Fair on exhibition? So
keep your eyes open, dears, wnen you
visit Chicago in 1898

AFRAID OF ENTHUSIASM.

Much of the g temperance" talk of
speaker or writer is really Opposed
to intemperance" of course. He says
he is sorry for the drunkard, and
he would like to help him; that the
saloon keeper is very wicked, and the
saloon very dreadful. He wishes there
were no saloons, at least not so many.
If he had his way the saloons would be
abolished but as he cannot have his
way he will edo the next best thing"
let them stay. He will not go to ex-
tremes. He will not be violent or ex-
citable.
A man walking across bridge sees a
boy struggling in the water. "Ah!"
he exclaims, ''I pity that boy! It's a
dreadful thing to be drowned. 1t will
be very sad for that boys father and
mother. should sympathize with all
wise and we'll directed efforts to save
that boy. ''Now, where is the fault in
these excellent remarks? Another man
rushes up in hot haste and pre-
pares to plunge in, with eyes fixed on
the struggling boy. The first man says,
severely, "Sir, this is very undignified
and impolite behavior. You almost
knocked me down, and you have
thrown your coat and boots into that
dirty pool. Sir, I felt sympathy for
that boy before you appeared, but
your violent measures have destroyed
all my interest, and now don't care
what becomes of him.

BLACKSMITH SAVES THE LIFE LITTLE
GIRL-Minnie Carney, of Lyle City, Iowa, was
perhaps near leaving this world as any one
can be, and recover. She was sick with chol-
era morbus; completely exhausted aud un-
conscious. The physicians in consultation
decided the case was hopeless and beyond
their control. Chas. j. Newcomb, black
smith, walked four miles through the dark
ness and storm, to get a remedy he had him
self used, and which he firmly believed would
cure her. That medicine was Chamberlain
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He
obtained part of bottle, with which he hast
lily returned, and gave the little sufferer half
teaspoonful, which relieved and conscious
ness gradually returned The medicine was
given in broken doses and in short time she
was well. He is positive that it saved her
life, and has others in that vicinity. For sale

Yea, though I walk through the mud

A FARMERS COMPLAINT.

Secretary Rusk is thinking serious
ly of establishing a matrimonial bureau
in connection with the agricultural
department. The idea was suggested
by a letter he recently received from
a man out west, who experimental
with some of the cucumber seeds sent
by the department at the instance of
his representative in Congress. The
farmer planted the cucumber seed and
his wife died from eating some Of the
cucumbers The farmer in his letter
to Secretary Rusk said:
Your blamed cucumbers robbed me
Of my wife, so instead of sending me
cucumber seed this spring send me an
other wife. hear there are number
of likely women in your department.
In reply Secretary Rusk said that he
had no appropriation from which he
could draw money to send a wife to
the widower, but suggested that the
latter come to Washington and pick
out one for himself. The secretary in
formed his correspondent that he has
in his department some beautiful
maidens, many sprightly widows and
several seasonable old maids.

We talk great deal about the want
of originality nowadays in anything;
we say that everything seems to be
vamped up and made over out of
something old; all the IDEAS in litera-
ture and art, and to great degree in
science, have been used over and over
again until they are threadbare; even
the men and women we meet in daily
life are cut after one pattern; talent
is plentiful, but the genius that creates
and originates is almost extinct.
So we talk, while we look back upon
the creative past with wistful longing,
upon the stagnant present with con-
tempt, and upon an uncreative future
with gloomy forebodings. At least
we think we do all this, but as an ac-
tual fact we do nothing of the kind,
and we do not take at all kindly to
originality and novelty. There has
never been an invention for the good
of man that has not been forced upon
him against his will, there has never
been movement for the elevation of
either sex that has not had to fight it's
way into favor, and is gratefully ac-
copied only well worn.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years supposed to
be incurab1e. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing
with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo
Ohio is the only constitutional cure the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

SCHOOL ROOM DISCIPLINE.

The ferrule and the ruler in the pub
lie schools, like the thumb screw and
the rack of the once fearful
have been abolished, the former be-
ing seldom, if ever, resorted to, while
the latter no longer distort what is
gentle in religion and noble in civiliza-
ton. In lieu of corporal punishment
in the schools, tasks are now imposed
for dereliction, in performance of
which pupils are farther improved in
learning, while they are disciplined in
conduct. The merit Of this system of
disciplining is that it's enforcement
carries no degradation with it, such
as is impaired by blows from ferrule
or humiliation in exposure to jeers of
other students.
The popularity of the disciplining
now in force in the schools is in the
fact that the task imposed adds to the
knowledge of the refractory pupil.
For instance, the writing of a certain
number of two, three or four syllable
words is feature of this disciplining
WHICH, LIDS WuO1SSOulO IdiIllIIS Ill IL,
while a still broader feature of the
same system is in a penalty which re-
quires delinquent to commit a GER
tain amount of the constitution of the
United States to memory and recite it
to teacher. This is in addition to
the regular lessons of the day. TIE
good sense and practical benefits of
such penalties in disciplining refrac
tory scholars in public schools will be
generally commended.

THEY MISRBPREsENT US

The Oklahoma Evening Gazette
of last Monday contains the follow.
ing: "There are in the Cherokee
nation %, ,357 Indians and 27,176
white men. The Indians are
largely mixed with negro blood
and their increase is probably
slight"
The Gazette is a near neighbor,
and has generally been fair in its
dealings with questions effecting
the Indians; but, In this case, it is
either grossly ignorant of the
Cherokee's true status or is wan
tonly and purposely misrepresent-
ing them. The Gazette is welcome
to either horn of the dilemma it
may choose. But what are the
facts in the case: The entire cit
izen population of the Cherokee
nation is a little over 25, 600 all
told, Cherokees, Shawnees, Del
awares, adopted whites and negroes
according to the census of 1890
As to being largely mixed with
negro blood" " there is probably
not fifty Cherokee families in the
whole nation mixed with African
blood. The Gazette should re-
member that truth is yet stranger
than fiction.

purported to be issued "by order
of the Territorial Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee" and signed by
one William F. Weeks, as "chair-
man. and one Robt. l.. Owen as
chairman of the Executive Com
miltee of the Muskogee conven-
zion, and also to an article signed
by these individuals, and styled
by them, democratic Territorial
Convention Call" which conven.
ton is to meet at McAlester, in the
Choctaw nation, ON the 9th day of
October next and as the object of
the "call' as stated in the second
item thereof, among other things,
lis to consider whether the demo
Gratis of the Indian Territory shall
put into the field a candidate for
delegate to represent the Indian
Territory in the Congress of the
United States, and if it decides af-
hrmatively, then to nominate such
candidate and to devise a plan for
holding an election !" and as the
Cherokee nation is a component
part of the so-called Indian Terri
tory, and is to be affected by the
object OF the plan set forth in the
"call )" and as the object of this
plan is to change the relations of
the Cherokee people to the govern
meat ofthe United States, through |
political combinations with citi-
zens of the United States, whose
interests are now amply protected |
by law and who have no interest
in the soil of the Cherokee nation,
and who are only sojourners here,
the detestable class |
known as the Intruders" and as it
is a plan that will more firmly fix
this class in the nation, increase
their numbers, and through them,
will destroy the nationality, and
rob the Cherokee people Of their
lands and as it is an insult, as
well as an invitation to you to ask
you to cooperate with the in
truders" in the management OF
your public affairs, and to assist
them by your votes to elect q dele

ton to protect them in the robbery |

Sixty Million Bushels of Wheat
A Bushel 70 Evey Inhabitant
of the United States. The
Kansas Crop of 90.

Never in the history of Kansas
has that state had such bountiful
crops as this year. The farmers
cannot get enough hands to harvest
the great crop, aud the Santa Fe
railroad has made special rates
from Kansas City and other Mis-
souri, river towns, to induce har-
vest hands to go into the state.
The wheat crop ofthe state will be
from sixty to sixty-fve million
bushels, and the quality is high.
The grass crop is made, and is a
very large one; the early potatoes,
rye, barley, and oat crops are made
and are all large. The weather has
been propitious for corn, and it is
the cleanest, best looking corn to be
found in the country to-day.
Cheap rates will be made from Chi
cago, st. Louis, and all points on
the Santa Fe east of the Missouri
river, to all Kansas points, on Aug
ust 30 and September q, and these
excursions Will give a chance for
eastern farmers to see what the
great surhiower state can do.
A good map of Kansas will be
mailed free upon application to
