The CiC~liDC Habit.

A serious aspect Of the giggling habit
is that II IS SO nearly incorrigible. Man
nerisms Of all kinds strike their roots
deeply. but '.he! he..' and ''ha! ha" be-
come part and parcel of the offenders
against reason and taste. That which
makes the listener nervous to irritable
it,. frett!ng the aiHidble into a desire to
smother the meaningless cackle in the
throat that gives it birth if he cannot es.
cape beyond hearing of it, is practical
involuntarily by the habitual laughter.
Like the famous button On the Learned
advocates coat with which he fumblel
incesaantly while pleading. the yiggle
would. if suddenly taken away. deprive
its slave Of the power Of speech. To
command gr2vely temperate articula-
ton would BE- 10 strike dumb.
The origin cf the ~obro-;ous trick is Ct
coure9 III youth and ineEperience, AMI
almost always III native ditiidence or
temporary embarrassment. When the
girl has no fitting words at call. she gig
giles. When the lad is oppressed by 4
weight Of bashfulness and would swae-
ger it OF, he outlaws. In the tyro5s
opinion a laugh outdoes charity as Z
cloak for every defect and extricates
him tr1-l the most trying position. A.
fectatioa is an active ally in the ev
work. and the ambition to be agreeab.
brings up tie rear guard.-Marion Har-
land il Lai RS Gsz9r.

The attendance at the meeting Of the
Presbyterian church members last
evening was not SO large as expected.
and NJ business was transacted. an adj
journment being taken until next Mon
day evening. Rev. T. Scott Miilar, who
is now in the city. will probably be
called to the pastorship of the church.
and it is very desirable that there should
be a large attendance and full express
sion Of opinion before n positive ac-
tion is taken.

Bishop Brewer came in at | o'clock
this afternoon. and after having dinner
with Mr.. Pritchard returned on the de
layed flyer at , o'clock. The call was
rather unexpected. as the bishop had no
intention of coming. but being at Gus
ter station. and finding that he could
run down for even o short a time
avai!ed himself of the opportunity. 1t
was with regret that the members of
his church learned of his inability to
preach here. owing to 4 prior engage
ment, and we hope to hear from him
soon again.

At the fire yesterday it was q very
noticeable fact that there were about a
dozen firemen at work about the hose,
while it took about three times that
number Of outsiders to assist the officers
Of the department in directing the work
Of saving the burning building. It
should be remembered by everybody
that such actions are most demoraliz-
ing to the department. The men cannot
tell from whom the orders come, and 80
much "bossing' results in confusion.
While these things are evidently done
in the best OF faith. people should re.
member that they are detrimental. and
then permit the proper persons to give
their directions.

white settlement. He posts no
longer at Echo" He is after the
white mans scalp on his way; a
bit of printed matter is Tipped by
the wind. II proves to be an act
of council "defining the treaties. "
He sends it to the CHIEFTAIN, and
really he believes that is the "oon-
stitution and laws Of the Cherokee
nation" Here is what he says:
SWIM. Jackson and Cataosa, two
white men, want to wipe out the
constitution and laws" Mr..
Jackson and Catoosa don't want to
wipe out the constitution and
laws. II they were to wipe them.
out they would wipe themselves
out of every vestige of their rights
in this nation. We don't want
them wiped out and we don't in
tend they shall be If we can pre-.
vent il.
Harkl Here comes "Old Rip"
with his old rusty gun. He don't
know it won't shoot worth cent;
he don't know that his ammuni-
tion has been rotten for twenty
years; he don't know that his old
scalping knife has rusted off at the
hilt. There are a great many
things that he don't know-what
he don't know would make a good
sized book.
II what he sends the CHIEFTAIN
is the constitution and laws" Of
the Cherokee nation, they have
been pretty effectually wiped out
without the assistance of Catoosa
or Jackson, to-wit: When con-
gress passed the bill appropriating
S75, 900 of Cherokee money to pay
the very class of citizens that that
act tries to "defne" out. And
later when the claims court decided
in the Delaware case which counts
in a general way all citizens with
out regard to race or color equal in
rights. That is what Catoosa con-
tends for-equal rights. That is
what the white mans citizenship
association contends for and that is
just why old rip" wants the
white mans scalp.
Bear with him, readers. He
will be among his kith and kin; he
is not as much of an Indian as he
would have you believe. He will
learn better things. We will give
him the right hand of fellowship
and all his rights, but none of ours.

THE GROUND rRrMBLns.

The friends of allotment could
never find more opportune time
for presenting the issue, nor q
stronger argument in its favor, than
the present time and the very
great dread, suspense and anxiety
caused by the apparent failure oi
the delegation to sell the STR
bonds. The ease with which g. :
entire proceeds of the Strip might
be withheld from the people indef-
initely demonstrates very forcibly
the unstable condition of shis Cher
okee nation. More than hall Of
all the land owned by this nation
has been sold and already passed
from. the Indians forever; and there
is not a citizen in all this nation
that knows what he is going to get
for il. Indeed he is not absolutely
certain of getting anything. The
same power that has disposed OF
six and a half million acres OF
Cherokee land on the Strip is able
to dispose of the homes Of the
whole Cherokee people here east
Of 96o in the same manner. No
further demonstration is needed
that the personal rights of the peo-
pie are insecure and in jeopardy
when held in common, whether il
be their rights to the land or their
rights to funds.
The lands of the Cherokees are
not safe. The homes of those peo.
pie, subject to the legislation of q
council that has been corrupt d
more than once and is very liable
to be again, are indeed in a very
precarious and altogether unsatis.
factory condition. 1t is now be-
lieved by many that the govern
ment will force us to allot this
country, in pursuance of its policy
to do away with separate Indian
governments within the United
{ ties. If it should do so, there
is no question but that it would be
an act Of mercy and a God send tC
the masses of the Cherokee people
and the sooner the United State:
comes down here and coerces u,
into allotment the better for al
concerned. When the people real
ize that their homes are IN III,
same uncertain condition as arc
the Strip funds, it does look al
though they would all want to pro
tect themselves by individual title

The outlook for the cattle indus
try in this country at the present
time is good. For many years
past the business has suffered from
an ver.supply incident to a too
rapid development, but now con-
ditions have changed and there is
every indication of prosperity for
the cattlemen. Reports from ev-
erywhere indicate a scarcity of
cattle; the calf crop throughout
the range country is undoubtedly
short; scores of the smaller owners
have gone out of the business for
good, and for many years to come
prices will certainly be good, on
account of the limited supply, and
cattlemen will make money-and
pleo'y of it.
