Lena was four years old, and the
feminine love for fine clothes was al
ready pretty well developed. Being the
only child in the family, and the special
pet of uncles and aunts who had no
children of their own, when she fell i'll
with scarlet fever there was great
alarm, and night and day the solicitous
family watched by her bedside. One
night when the fever was at the worst
no one retired, but all sat quietly about
the room with fearful eyes waiting for
and expecting the end Finally there
was a sigh and gasp from the bed and
Lena's voice, feeble but clear, broke the
mournful stiffness. Uncle" it said,
uncle, come herel" Uncle immediate
ly bent over the sick child. Uncle,
she went on while the weeping friends
listened to hear what might be the last
words, won't you buy me blue silk
dress with white lace ON it?" There was a
moments silence, and then Lena's
mother dryly remarked, Il guess you
may as well all go to bed. She'll get

Third Popular Excursion To the National
Capital via Ii. 81 o. x. X.

The third popular excursion to Washington.
via b. & O. r. r., from Pittsburg Wheeling,
Parkersburg, Lexington, and intermediate sta
tons to Washington junction, Md, is amour
ced for Thursday, February 18th The popular
ity of these winter trips to the National Capita
via b g. is due to the exceedingly low rates
and the excellence of train service with Pull
man accommodations and to the fact that the
b. & 0. is the shortest route.
The journey is delightful as well as instruc-
tive while in Washington are more interesting
sights than in any other American city. The
museums, the art CALLERS, the White House, the
public buldings--to all of which admission is
free-are attractions at all times appreciated.
Tickets from Pittsburgh, Wheeling and inter
mediate points to Martinsburg, are valid to
Baltimore, and as they are good for ten days
ample time is afforded for side trips to Mt. Yer
non, Old Point Comfort, and other adjacent
points.

THE
PhiIad eIphia Press,
DAILY, SUNDAY, WEEKLY.
A FAMILY PAPER,
WHICH is
CLEAN, UNCONSTITUTIONAL AID JUST THE PAPER
FOR THE
American Home.

THE PRESS has the best possible organization
to secure news from the most important sour
ces, and with nearly 400 correspondents in Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, the State
and near-at home news is covered with rou-
tine carefulness and attention to detail not even
attempted by any other paper.
The Press has also the best of correspondents
in all the great cities of the United States, as
well as financial and railroad experts in Chicago
and the West who keep the paper more than
abreast with events.
The columns of the SUNDAY PRESS are enrich
ed by contributions from those whose names are
written high in our lists of great authors, novel
lists, essayists, as well from men of high rank
in public life. The best authors know that
their best audiences the readers of the
DAILY, SUNDAY and WEEKLY PRESS.
In politics THE PRESS knows other master
than the people and the past year has seen, as
has been seen before, the marked fact that it is
subservient to no political boss. 1t has no poll
tical ambition to foster. but looks after the in
terests of its readers, and deliveries itself upon
the issues of the day in manner both frank and
fearless, letting the facts speak for themselves
and eyadng no issues but meeting them all on
the basis of fair play to all at all times It's
pages know no distinctions and the rights of one
class over another are neither recognized nor
supported.

Money Orders Instead of Savings Banks.
Sometimes money orders as much as
twenty years old are sent into the post
Office department to be cashed. Queer
people stow them away in desks or other
hiding places, leaving them to be dis
covered in the course of time by heirs.
OF course they are invalid after one year
from the date of issue, but duplicates
are always issued and paid upon appli-
cation. Actors, and particularly circus
people, have way of utilizing the
money order system as sort of banking
and safe deposit concern. While travel
ing about the country, for example, a
player will buy a money order for $l0(
on New York, making himself the payee
Thus he puts away the sum in place
where no one else can possibly get it.
Before the year is out he may draw the
money and buy another postal order
with it, and so on, thus keeping the cash
secure for an indefinite period He can
not be robbed A circus clown was ar
rested in town out west with S., 00(
worth of money order receipts in hi
clothes, Had they been stolen from hin
he could easily have got duplicates. :

THE ONLY HOPE.

The Cherokee government will
never be conducted economically
and judicioulsy (as those terms are
applied to private business enter
prises) until its funds for govern
mental purposes are derived by
direct taxation. As long as our
people subsisted by the primative
pursuits OF their ancestors the
present system worked very well
for there was little governmental
machinery aud no expense to
speak Of But conditions have
now taken an entire change-there
has been a complete transposition.
We have Il generous quota OF Of
fees, have a legislative, a judicial
and an executive department-and
their maintenance costs all they
are worth. II has been repeatedly
estimated that the cost Of conduct
ing the government is between
eight and nine dollars per capita of
our people. OF course, reversing
our system, there would be a per
capita distribution equal to a like
sum annually. What proportion
Of the families Of the nation, con.
sisting Of five persons, would be
taxed $4,000? Probably not one
in half dozen. The tax of run
ming the government would fall
where it justly belongs 90 upon
those who are profdng by their
occupancy OF the couptry aud are
able to pay it. What is the logic
Of this new system and what
would be the result2 The men
who pay the tax would at once
take an interest in seeing that the
funds were judiciously handled.
They would insist that the same
business rules which had brought
them a competence were, 50 far as
practicable, applied to the conduct
OF the nations affairs, and a con-
sequent reduction OF taxation
would result. Then we would
have a better, a cleaner govern
ment, and all officials would be
held 10 a strict accountability for
their public acts and for all money
passing through their hands. I'm
I'll change does take place there
Is little lo.hope for.

OUR SITUATION JUST AS IT IS

The late national council which
adjourned here last week, after
continuous session of seventy days,
appropriated all told as the records
and its acts show, Sl6S, 900.
Add to this the standing appro-
priation of s33, 600 to pay officials
of the nation and you find the
whole foots up to 100000 and
over. This 100000 appropriation
is for one year. Now our only
positive income is the five per
cent interest on our invested funds,
which are s2,70O,0O0. Thus you
see our income is only sl35 900 per
year. In all earnestness, aud in
the name of common sense, how
can we keep up our government at
these rates of expenditures?
Spending $50, 600 year more than
we get annually. The worst Of 1t
is the nation is in debt $4,000
caused by excessive expenditures
beyond our income, in late years
this added to the $50, 900 over
our income will leave us slS3, 900
in debt at the close of the fiscal
year, the Both day of September,
1892. Our scrip is now selling for
80 and 60 cents on the dollar. This
is a serious matter 10 those of us
who wish to see our government
liye-these are stern, hard, griev-
Gus iacts-but the situation has to
be- faced. and the sooner the
better. There is no use for Us To
count on getting anything from our
internal revenue sources, as past
experience under laws now in force
teaches US conclusively that it
takes all such revenue so collected
to pay the expenses Of those col
lecting the same, or such has been
the fact as we all know.
The above from the Tahlequah
Telephone touches upon one
Of the most important questions
that. concern the people of this
nation. The above statistics,
which we presume are correct, lay
bare the whole system OF govern
ment without taxation and shows
how utterly impossible it will be
to continue without some radical
changes in our financial system.
Under the present system every
one contributes the same amount
toward defraying the expenses of
government. The bare-footed or
phan pays as much tax as the
bloated cattle king.

TO OUT THE PENSION ROLL

MR. PEEL, Of Arkansas, says an
exchange, has slipped in a little
four line bill of mighty import.
War widows in the past have
proven an expensive luxury to the
government. Long years ago the
last of the revolutionary pension
ers paid the debt OF nature. But
there are to-day on the pensions
roll twenty revolutionary widows
drawing pensions. The oldest Of
these widows was not born until
twenty years or more after the
revolution had been "fit," but as
young woman she solaced the
declining years of some pensioner
and inherited the republics grati-
tude. The survivors Of the war
1872, as shown by the pension
rolls, number only 2S4, and they
are dropping off very rapidly. But
there are 1880 widows of soldiers
of the war 1912 drawing pensions,
and they are not dropping off so
fast. There are now on. the rolls
1880 widows of soldiers who
served in the civil war. The list
is growing very rapidly, Some
OF these widows were born since
1865. The war widows to-day
number one.fourh of all the names
carried on the pension rolls.
Twenty-Five years hence, perhaps
solner than that, one-half the pen
sioners will be widows. And il
estimate may be based on past ex-
periences this government will, in
1850, be paying out millions Of
dollars annually in pensions TO
widows who were not born until
after the civil war ended Such is
human nature. Mr.. Peel, bold
man as he is, proposes to legislate
for the second generation after this

a good paper aud then stand up

that you are not a charity solicitor;
that you are conducting legiti-
mate enterprise; that you are part
of the communiiy--and see TO it
that you make yourself a neces-
sary and important part. Then
the public will begin to regard you
as such and render the support
necessary to maintain this posi-

The New York Times says: "a
private dispatch received in this
city announces that the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railroad has
completed negotiations for options
on valuable terminal property in
Fort Worth and at Dallas, Texas.
The property is said to be worth
one million. 1t is stated that the
extension Of the road to Fort
Worth is to be for the purpose of
making direct connection with the
Missouri; Kansas & Texas system
The latter company is controlled
by the Standard Oil people to whom
il was said to have been unloaded
by Jay Gould at $40 per share.
After the purchase it was discover.
ed that the road was bankrupt and
it was put in the hands Of receiv.
er. Now it is said that Mr.. Rock.
efeller is going to ''get even" with
the Goulds. The extension Of the
Rock Island is a part of the even.
up program as outlined by the
Standard Oil magnates.
