The Cherokee citizenship asso-
citation is very anxious for a COM
promise Of their case. This indi-
catee the character of their claim
to a dot. Tney have nothing to
lose by such an arrangement. They
have come here and entered their
claims for full citizenship in the
Cherokee nation, but have failed
to establish their rights aud ifthey
wanted to do the decent thing they
would get out, of their own accord.
They occupy a very unenviable po-
sition in the country and to stay
and hang on requires an unusual
amount of "gall" and shows with
what reckless abandon people will
undertake to get something for
nothing. Whichever they get in a
compromise will in most cases be
clear gain, and whatever the
United States government gives
them will be taken from the Cher
okees by sheer force and under a
protest that will be heard through
out the civilized world. The
Characterization is more than
willing to give them a fair
show, and those of them who can
prove the right of admission will
willingly be admitted. The bo-
gus claimant will never be admit.

THINGS SEEN IN COLORADO
BY FAYETTE HURD.

\. JRcEsTER ACADEMY, Aug. y. ls92.
Colorado City is the oldest town
in the State, and was at one time
the capital. 1t is now conspicuous
for its breweries and saloons,
which some would think necessa-
ry, since the "new town" is by
title-deed under prohibition, though
the other places are not. Manitou
has a population Of some 1000,
and seems little else than a resort
extending mostly along a single
street, ending at the cog railroad
in Engelmann's Canyon. There
are here several mineral springs,
the Ute Pass Iron Springs and the
still better known Navajo Soda
Springs being most noted. The
latter is widely advertised, and has
a fairly good taste, which is made
very wholesome by combination
with ginger extract in the prepar-
alton called "ginger champagne. 4"
Lying close at the foot
of the mountains, and sew
eral hundred feet higher, it is
by many tourists preferred to Colo
RADIO Springs. Here too were dec
orations in honor of the Sir
Knights, one of which deserves
special mention. On a pretty uni
form slope of the mountain just
over the town were stretched side
by side eight long strips of muslin,
making the upright part of cross,
"a feet wide, and 450 feet long,
with a cross piece made in like
manner about 300 feet long-an OBJ
ject conspicuous for a long dis
tance to the north and to the east.
The Rockies, which fill the
western horizon of all this region,
afford in great variety objects that
appeal to our sense of the fantas.
tic, the beautiful, and the sublime.
OF the first class are those lime
stone rocks to whose presence are
due the recently opened Grand
Caverns and the Cave of the Winds,
and the sandstone, forming stripes
of various shadows of gray, red
and brown, and fashioned by wa
ter into columns and arches, and
scanned into the likeness of human
faces and animal forms. The Gar
den of the Gods, Glen Eyrie,
Blair Athol, and Monument Park
derive their interest from the pres
ence Of this rock, which appears in
the Pictured Rocks, and other
points in the Lake Superior region.
The granite peaks in many places
rise In sheer ascent heavenward,
or are clothed with scanty pines
along the mouotain sides, are
surely to be Feckoned as objects
sublime; while in many shady
hooks, brightly colored flowers,
and waterfalls. flashing in the sun
light or beating themselves on
granite rocks into spray, the heart
hat loves beauty will find delight.
Let me give-I could get little

THINGS UsEFUL TO KNOW.

Scratches and bruises may be taken
from furniture by using the kernel of a
walnut or butternut.
To make the eyebrows grow better,
rub common salt into them every night
before going to bed.
Clean white sheepskin rugs by scrub
bling with CASTLE soap and water, drying
thoroughly in the sun.
For disagreeable breath, put few
drops of tincture of myrrh in tumbler-
full of water, and thoroughly rinse the
mouth with it.
A white cashmere or chudda may be
nice and easily cleaned at home by using
soap-bark, which may be obtained at
any druggists.
In washing black wool goods before
making them owes, use five cents worth
of soap bark to pailful of water. Let
it stand until cold. Iron on the wrong
side.
A very good and simple face tonic is
ten drops of benzoin to one of rose
water. Put few drops into the wash
bowl when bathing the face. Both will
soften and whiten.
For Group, use flannel cloths wrung
out of very hot water and applied to the
throat and chest; cover with dry ones,
and renew with hot as soon as the others
commence to cool.
Unsightly marks caused by the drip
ping of water in marble basins or water
closet bowls may be removed by rubbing
with cloth or old tooth brush dipped
in pulverized chalk or ammonia. [Good

STRAWBERRY sHORTCAKE.

Put into a sieve one pint of flour, half
a teaspoonful of sugar and two teaspoon
fuls of baking powder.
Mix well and rub through the sieve.
Now rub into the flour one tablespoon
full of lard and two of butter. Stir into
this a scant half-pint of sweet milk.
Mix quickly with spoon and di-
vide into two parts. Roll each part into
asmooth ball and, after sprinkling the
bread board with flour, roll each ball
down to three-quarters of an inch in
thickness and place on two tin plates.
Bake in hot oven for about fifteen
minutes.
Pick over and mash three pints of ripe
strawberries, and just as they are to be
put into the shorteake, add a generous
cupful of sugar.
On taking the shortcake from the oven
tear them apart. Spread with soft but
ter, not melted, ard also with a thick
layer of strawberries. Put on the GOV.
ers and serve at once.
Should the cakes be desired richer
three tablespoonfuls of butter may be
used. The three pints of berries are a
generous allowance.
Should the sugar be added to the
strawberries TOO soon there would be
too much juice.-GOod Housekeeping.

Ct AM so TIRED"

Is a common exclamation at this season.
There is a certain racing effect in cold
air which is lost when the weather grows
wsrmer; and when Nature is renewing
her youth, her admirers feel dull, slug
gish and tired. This condition is owing
mainly to the impure condition of the
blood, and its failure to supply healthy
tissue to the various organs of the body.
1t is remarkable how susceptible the
system is to the help to be derived from
a good medicine at this season. Possess
ing just those purifoing, buildingup
qualities which the body Graves, Hood S
Sarsaparilla soon overcomes that tired
feeling, restores the appetite, purifies
the blood, and, in short, imparts vigorous
health. Its thousands of friends as with
one voice declare ut Makes the Weak

SUNDAY AT THE FAIR.

Those who oppose keeping the Worlds
fair open Sundays are of course sincere
but they seem to forget the other side of
the matter altogether, assuming always
that society is perfect. Rev, R. Awhile,
a Chicago clergyman, brought this mat
ter out clearly in a sermon the other
day. He said: "Do the advocates of
Sunday closing suppose that because the
gates are closed the people will quietly
stay in the hotels or go to church? If
the people don't go to the fair they will
go to the theatre or saloons and excur-
sions. 1t doesn't follow that shutting
the gates will keep the people quiet.
Some make the objection that if the fair
is open people will have to work at the
grounds. They forget that the crowd

Brown; if he is reliable man or not?
Second Citizen: Well, I'll say that much
for Bullwinkle: I've bought sausages
from him for over five years.
We have noticed that when any one
in a crowd has bit of scandal to relate,
it is not until the speaker is through
talking, and all have had their curiosity
appeased, that some one says something
about gossiping being so improper.
