The people of Alva desire TO give eighty
acres of land for the school and $50, 900
for the building Of the institution. They
propose TO run the school for two years
without drawing a cent from the gen.
era territorial school fund. The Chero-
kee strip furnishes the greater per cent
of the school fund by the number of
sections - and 80 reserved for that pur-
pose. The proportions Of normal schools
in the United States shows that Oklaho-
ma should have more than one school.
The greater portion of the territory is
west of and around in the vicinity of
Alva and il IS conceded on all sides
that il Is the place where the western
branch of the normal schoo should be
located. Although the bill was defeated
in the house this afternoon, "A motion

Coney Island, y. Y, March 4.-One

THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME.

6or-Mother Aurelia Speaks
Of Her Charges.
(From the Providence, X. l.. JournuL)
Somewhat removed from the city Of Prov.
idence, on the main highway to Pawtuck ct,
stands that magnificent charitable insttu-
ton known as the Home for the Aged Of the
Little Sisters Of the Poor. Here a com.
pany Of sweet faced aud soft voiced Sisters
care for the old and the infirm who are
unable to care for themselves.
Mother Aurelia presides over this we'll.
known institution, and with her associates
ministers to the wants of over two hundred
old people, women and men. An important
feature Of the Home is q well-appointcd
pharmacy in charge Of one of the sisters
Their chief remedy is good old Pain X iller.
which most of the old folks used when they
were children aud which now cures the pains
and aches incidental To their declining years.
As is to be expected, the aged inmates Of
the Home are in constant need Of medical
attention, although, ~ carefully are they
tended, few are rarely sick enough to be in
the hospital wing ut any one time. But all
OF them are subject to the many disabilities
of old age, and so Pain-Killer has come
to be remedy Of almost daily use.
Mother Aurelia says that Pain.killer has
quite superseded the drugs and prescriptions
for use among the old people. When the
limbs witch with rheumatism the fair
sister in charge ofthe pharmacy gives them
Q massage with pure Pain-Killer. When
the old men and old women suffer from
their many stomach troubles, little Pain
Killer with water and sugar offers certain
and quick relief When the venerable
heads are racked with pain, Pain-Killer is
again put to service promptly. The old
people love 1t aud rely upon it. They tes.
tify that its use externally is quickly efiiea-
cious. and internally, is unacconpanied By
any after i'll efeeta-which, ct their aee.

TO build up the entire system, rs the

best medicine to take in the spring. 1t
