to be houses and churches. In the

off to the west the semblance
of a large city lying ap-
apparently on the horizon. They could

Adding Insult to Injury.


He couldn't help being brainless

He might not have been dude, pos
sibly, for that is an acquired condition,
but the brainlessnesS is no mans fault;
it is his misfortune.
That he had fallen in love with girl
was also his misfortune rather than his
fault.
1t seems that the bigger fool man is,
the deeper he drops into that emotional
vortex.
BE that as it may, this dude had fall
en- in love, and he was laundering
around in it most painfully, and the girl
standing on the shore would not so
much as throw him llfe-pressrver.
Again case of misfortune rather than
fault, for a woman can't love man just
because he wants her to.
There must be something more than
that, or less. mayhaps.
At least, some eynics say woman
will love a man because he doesn't want
her to.
And vice versa.
Be that as it may, also, the dude was
in love and he put it to the usual test.
But it failed miserably. The girl
hadn't any use for him at all. Nay,
more, she held him in the lowest es-
TEEN. and said so.
"Ah." he moaned pathetlcaliy, you
are cruel, dear; very, very cruel to me-"
"Wel," she responded heartlessly,
"lf am, why don't you report me to

be thankful that heaven had not made
any Of you such woman.

THE OPENING OF INDIAN LANDS.


~ 81 ~ 1NNN~@t
New YORK, May AN appeal is ad-
dressed TO President Cleveland in an
letter in the Illustrated american, is
sued to-day by Mr.. w. r. Hicks, who
calls the attention OF the President 10
what he calls the evils Inherent IN the
present method OF opening the Indian
lands.
Mr.. Hicks says that two events or
great importance TO the Indian race are
about to happen. One is the opening
of the Cherokee strip TO settlement,and
The other is the appointment Of the COM
mission OF three 70 negotiate with the
tribes In the southwest for the rest OF
their lands
The opening will be done under pro-
visions OF act Of Congress, and the Ex-
ecutive can do nothing TO change the
manner Of opening. But in regard TO
the appointment Of the Commission,
Mr.. Hicks says that the President has
the opportunity TO make mis- admins
tration famous for solving the difficult
Indinn problem. He points out that he
can not do this by appointing men on
F the Commission who are in favor OF
allotment or who are welded TO any
OF the old ideas which may have been
condemned by the failures Of the past.
Mr.. Hicks denOunceS the Indian land
openings as nothing more than gigantic
real estate speculatiOns. He proposes
radical remedy. He suggests that the
lands TO be opened be plotted by COM
mission and disposed Of in leases on an
eunual rental fixed by appraisement,
sthe value OF the rental being determined
on basis Of use, so that the speulator
would md no encouragement TO corner
great tracts OF land as at present.

found.
For ffteensyears his relatives have
been trying in the courts to prove him
dead in order 70 collect about $4,000
insurance on his life.
During all these years the insurance
companies holding the policies have re-
sisted the claim on the ground OF fraud
and conspiracy, alleging that Hlimon
was not dead at ALL The face value OF
the policies has more than consumed in
the costs Of litigation and the case has
come 10 rank as one Of the most re-
markable and romantic in the history OF
life insurance frauds. The insurance
and litigation has been carried on In
that State, but the companies concerned
are all located in the East and the con-
test has been directed from this city.
The FIRST intimation that the fraud
was finally traced was obtained from
Charlton Lewis, the attorney for the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, OF
this city, which with the New York
Life aud the Connecticut Mutual Life
Insurance Company carried the S4O,-,
600 taken out by Hillmon on his life in
1873.

and well. +" said Mr.. Lewis speaking Of

can lay hands on him. After a search
extending over fifteen years, be has
