had reflected, to our correspondents at
least, the miserable worthlessness of
the past that has brought us all here.

The Five Nations.

1t is well-known fact that when Co.
lumbus discovered America he found
it inhabited by copper-colored people
whom he called Indians. In 1892 they
were sole pOssessors of the American
continents; but now only small terri
tory is set apart for them. There are
several tribes of Indians now living in
the Indian Territory, the most noted
being the give Civilized Nations"
Each nation has a separate government
and makes it's own laws. There has
been much talk of alloting the lands of
the Give Civilized Nations" and it is
probable that before many years the
Indian Territory will be admitted into
the Union as state. The majority of
the Indians are not in favor of state
hood and are trying to hold their land
in common as long as possible. Why?
Is it because they think themselves un-
able to cope with the white men? Is
it because they are not civilized? No,
they are about as well advanced in civ
iliZatiOn as any race of people on the
globe. The tOmahaWkS and Scalping-
knives are no more. The beautiful
hills and valleys that once echoed to
the terrific yells of the Indian warriors
are now adorned with picturesque vii
| lagos, school houses and churches.
Thanks be to God that, where once the
red men assembled and made the air
| hideOuS with their War-SOngS on the
Lords day, they now meet clothed in
the armour of christianity and sing
praises to God on high. The Choctaws
have six academies of high grade and
one for the Negroes. Then each neigh
bOrhOOd is allowed school when they
can secure teacher. AL these schools
are managed and supported by the
Choctaw government. Besides this
there are young ChOctaw men and wOm-
en- attending colleges in the States
Then why is it they are stubborn about
allOtting their lands? 1t is this. Our
forefathers owned large tracts of land
east of the Mississippi but were coaxed
to leave the scenes of their childhood
and take in exchange the land we now
possess with the clear understanding
that they should not be molested or
bothered in any way as long as they ex-
listed as nation and they should hold
their land in common as long as they
| w lSIcu. luCy OWl CllCSC lOlOO WHY
not let them do as they will with their
own? The sO-called land grabbers say:
''Tis true, the land belongs to the Indians
but look at the large tracts of land yet
unsettled and uncultivated, Uncle Sam
ought to open the country to settle
ment and give homes to 1000 home
seekers who are now suffering for want
of homes" All these talks you hear of
and read about are not made by Indi-
ans but by land-grabbers, boomers,
home-seekerS who are too lazy to work
for their homes, therefore want the
country open to settlement SO they can
get homes without paying a cent or
work single day for them. Who are
these land grabbers, boomers and home
seekers? Read the history of Okla
homa and there you will see who and
what they are. A. Z.

Can this be nation spelled with a
N? Surely not if its president and
vice-president are to play second fiddle
to states officers. The precedent es-
tablished by president Stevenson
in first calling on, instead of awaiting
calls from, the governors of California
and Oregon goes long way towards
saying secession was justifiable.

visitors with cries and cheers. Upon
the esplanade before the basilica the
Turkish garrison stands at arms, while
the music Of the Catholic orphan asy-
lum sounds the 'Marseillaise," and
then the cortege passes on to the Fran
ciscan monastry, where the prelates Of
the Latin Church, the patriarch him
self, who is the chief dignitary in Pal
estine, being present, receive the guests.
At night the Christmas service be-
gins at 10 o'clock with pontifical mass
celebrated at the Franciscan Church
near the basilica- The richest vest
ments are worn for this Office, these
having been presented in the name Of
the French Republic by Marochal Mac
Mahon. This first ceremony is con-
cluded about midnight, and then a
long procession with candles in hand
moves towards the grotto of the nativ-
ity. First comes the cross bearer, fol-
lowed by Franciscan monks and mem
bers Of other religious bodies. The
patriarch comes last, and directly be-
hind him, at the head of the laymen,
walks the French Consul with his at
tendants. Only those who precede the
patriarch carry candles, but that dig
nitary bears in his hand with infinite
precaution a beautiful little child in
wax, which, with sweet SMILE seems
almost on the point Of crying out The
divine child rests in manger on silk
en- cushions, rose colored and embroi1-
cred with gold.

Female Traits.

writer, visiting Bethlehem at Christ
mas time, found it hard to believe, In
these practical days of railroads and
table d'hote dinners, that such a con-
dition Of affairs could ever have ex-
listed.
Arriving at Bethlehem, he says,
haStened to see the scenes Of the nativ-
ity, full of expectation and yet ready
to be disappointed, for that had been
my lot so often in Palestine. The
Mount of Olives, Golgotha, the Sacred
Sepulchre, all We're In my eyes spoiled
for the want of that exquisite simplic-
ity which had filled my childish visions
Everywhere the ardor of the faithful
has shown itself in upsetting and i'm
proving things i'm a deplorable manner
So 1 asked myself with apprehension
how 1 would find the stable where
Mary brought her child into the world
and laid him in the manger because
there was no place for them at the inn.
Passing through the narrow and
crooked street which cuts Bethlehem
into two parts we finally reached the
extremity Of the burg and found our
selves in an oblong square, which in
Its turn opened into an esplanade paved
with stone, here and there showing
openings into cisterns which served
for baptisms and for ablutions among
former generations of Christians In
those days it was the usage to wash
before entering the sanctuary.
A curious scene is here on the very
border Of the place of the nativity. On
one side a burial ground with white
tombs; on two other sides rows Of
bare, high walls, like a fortress or
prison. Here and there windows pierce
the walls, but no doors. One looks
about him mystified, but finally dis
covers black hole in and out Of
which people are passing almost on all
fours, so low is it. This is the chief
entry to the sanctuary Of the nativity.
Having passed through this hole one
finds himself in a large hall divided
by four colonnades and surmounted by
q roof fanked by heavy beams. Peo-
pie stand about talking and smoking,
children play, Turkish soldiers sew up
their uniforms, women give suck to
their infants, fakirs offer oranges,
beads and candles for sale, while Greek
and Franciscan monks hurry about as
Ii on business Of pressing importance.
Formerly, / am told, the Arabs used
to stable their sheep here.
But this is not the stable where Jesus
was born, and one is some time In dis
covering 1T. On the left two Turkish
soldiers with rifles are stretched lazily
on a bench. One is asleep. the other
yawns. They are evidently not there
from personal preference. In front of
them a circular stairway goes down
to door which seems to indicate
crypt. The door passed, one continues
the descent by narrow staircase un-
til he comes to two other Turkish SOL
diers, this time standing up, with guns
on the floor, and on the left, lighted by
hanging lamps, is the following inscrip-
ton: ''Hic de Virgine Maria, Jesus
Christus, natus est" Here Jesus Christ
was born Of the Virgin Nary. We
are in the stable
This discovery Is much Of q surprise,
and ones first movement Is for protes-
tation, for the simple reason that moth
ing at all like a stable Is apparent.

Esplansde Ia Front of the Basilica
We are i'm q grotto. To this objection
the reply is made that in olden times
1t was the custom in Palestine to use
grottos for stables. Unfortunately
even this explanation seems unsatis-
factory, so much has the appearance
of the grotto been changed. The walls
are covered with marble, and count
less lamps hang down from ceiling
richly decorated with gold and purple
hangings. The effect is that Of a pre-
tentious hallway In some Oriental
museum. There is nothing which calls
to mind the poverty in which Jesus
was born, and the manger, which is
seen at the right in a space supported
with marble columns, is also made OF
marble. Finally one sees, also fash
ioned in marble and little further to
the right, circular oriice marking
the place where God caused spring
TO burst forth when the holy family
was sheltered in this refuge
Of course Christmas Is the great fete
day at Bethlehem. On Christmas eve
the French Consul comes from Jeru-
salem to Bethlehem to take part IN the
ceremonies OF the great Christian night

pany him. Surrounded by his eight
canvas on horseback In their striking
Leyantine costume of blue and gold,

which includes many pilgrims, through
