A Story of the Cherokee Strip Opening.


1--WE were all waiting to hear that
starting gun go off, and though there
was a,lot of cusstng going on it was done
under the breath, and things were quiet
like and hushed," said a returned Cher
okee boomer. II was standing on the
platform and wondering how it would
al end when I saw man shake his
partners hand and start to run into the
open space. Somebody yelled, and a
soldier who was'ssanding near me looked
up and saw the sooner running. He
called on him to halt, but that sooner
was in hurry and didn't stop. Then l
saw the soldier pull up his gun and take
aim. Just then the sooner's partner
rushed up to the bluecoat and shouted:
Don't you fire at him. He's my brother,
and if you hurt him I'll fill you full Of
lead
''lhe soldier never as much as w1nked,
but just pulled the trigger of his gun. l
saw the flash, and / knew the sooner was
hit because he tumbled on his face. The
smoke had hardly cleared away when
there came another crack of rifle, and
the soldier dropped with blood pouring
out of hole in his head. The sooner's
brother had kept his word. The train
started then, and don't know whether
they caught the murderer or not. kan

MIR. Astor Is Ambitious and VIII s.sear
Allegiance to the British Queen.
1t is now understood that Mr.. W. w.
Astor intends toapply for naturalization
papers and become British subject. He
cannot indeed, under the new property
laws, hold freehold real estate without
so doing. His ambition, so says rumor,
runs to political life in the commons,
with possible baronetcy and subse-
ouent peerage in the future, which
might land him in the house of lords.
He is not the first American who has
abandoned his nativesland for the moth
er country and been rewarded with
title.
The late Sir Curtis Lampson of Bos-
ton was case in point. His son sue
ceeded to the baronetcy, and his very
clever daughter became the wife of
Frederick Locker, the poet. Mr.. As
tors political aspirations, by the way.
will not be forwarded by his recent
move of closing to the public the ter
races at Cliveden, which were formerly
much enjoyed by frequenters Of the
River Thames, and it is rumored that
he will soon withdraw also the privilege
of picnicking in Cliveden woods.-San

The defeated and sorely disappointed
majority of the army of boomers that
raced into the Cherokee strip and battled
for claims there has been struggling out
again in sorry retreat into Kansas and
Texas since couple of days or so after
the opening. Thousands have been
brought out on the same cars that car
ried them in. Many hundreds have
passed through Arkansas City in wagons
and on horseback, while great nTlmbe,

Women Whist Players.

San Francisco women excel in whist
playing. There is probably no city in the
country where the game is so we'll played
by so many women as in the California
metropolis. At the recent whist con-
gress held there women were present for
the first time as members of various
clubs, and woman, Mrs. Henry Krehs
of the San Francisco Whist club was
elected assistant secretary of the con-
gress. One of the most prominent male
whist clubs has weekly 'ladies' night"

ner heart beat wildly as she hurried to
the window.
The same figure. looking more drenched
if possible, she saw dimly below.
'.All right" she whispered, and in an
other minute was talking eagerly with
John in the kitchen.
He was quite different youth from
the one she had admitted but few
hours before, and who had confessed to
such pitiable cowardice.
All trace of the Respondent cringe
with which he had stood. so full of
shame, before Patty had disappeared,
and he seemed now like man who could
be trusted in any crisis.
"Everything is all right" he said.
And then he secured from her the names
of the villagers upon whom the Tory
soldiers had quartered themselves.
With the British companys protrscted
stay in the village, the girl knew almost
to a man whose the different houses
were which sheltered part of the kings
army.
After this information was secured
John again disappeared, and Patty, for
the third time that night. sought her
couch, but not to sleep, however.
Meanwhile the Continental company,
which had been brought by John from
their nearby camp, rapidly and noise
lessly surrounded each dwelling where a
prize was to be secured in the shape of a
British soldier When the work was
complete, the trumpeter stood in the CEN
ter of the village and blew stentorian
blast.
For moment there was no sound in
reply. Then windows were thrown open,
and at every one appeared one or more
heads, the owners thereof rubbing their
ewes and sleepily trying to discover the
cause of such unseemly disturbance of
their peaceful slumbers.
The British soldiers, too, stumbled out
of their comfortable beds, surprised and
uncomprehending. When they looked
into the street, however, and saw at
every door the Continental blue and yell
low, they rapidly arrived at a correct
conclusion,
Ere long every red coated soldier in
Bridgetown was in the custody of the
Continentals, who promptly conveyed
them as soon as possible TO the New
England headquarters, where honors
were showered thickly upon the heads
of the entire company.
John went with them and received his
full share as the supposed author of the
capture. What the commanding officers
always supposed was merely hare
Drained midnight visit to his sweetheart
was pardoned in the light of its unex-
pected and happy result
John served all through the long war
after that with bravery and distinction,
his part in the snaring Of the British sol
diers apparently having.cured him of the
slightest suspicion of cowardice. And
Patty kept her husbands secret well.

with its bullet SCARED wooden pillar, still

CANADA AND THE CHINESE.
Tho Dominion Governments Refuses to
Change the Immigration Act. y


Change the immigration Act.
Several attempts have been made by
aborsorganizations of the Dominion to
induce the government to impose further
restrictions on Chinese immigration.
The government has just passed an order
in council which practically settles its
policy in that regard. The order, after
reciting the circumstances which called
it forth, SAYS:
"Whatevcr sympathies may exist and
whatever views may be held on the SUBJ
iect generally-orhnor particularly with
reference to Chinese exclusion, or to such
restrictions as are demanded by the petit
tioners-they must, in SO far at least as
exclusion is concerned, be held to be SUBJ
ordinate to the obligations solemnly en-
tered into between two great and friend
ly nations, and no action should be taken
which could be construed by the imperial
government as inimical or as infring-
ing upon treaty rights.
I'm view of the commercial relations of
Canada with China, it is not expedient
to change the provisions of the Chinese
immigration act nor to take any action
that might be considered by the Chinese
government as an invasion of the spirit
of treaty obligations or as an unfriendly
act.
1T is deemed impohtic and unneces-
sary to recommend the alternative ex-
pedient of raising the capitation tax tc
$500. The suggestion that every China
man or woman in Canada be taxed to
the amount of $500 each year, and that
said tax be paid into the treasury of the
municipality on city in which they may
be found is question for the consider
tion of others than the government OF
the Dominion. OTTAWA Special.
