to the establishment of his throne?
Does he say: "Hsve the armies OF
Israel been victorious? Am to con.
tinue IN my imperial authority!
Have l oyerthrown my enemies!'
Oh! no. There is one question that
springs from his heart to his lip,
and from the lip into the ear of the
besweated and bedusted messenger
flying from the battle field-the
question, "Is the young man Absa'
lom safe?" When it was told to Da.
vid, the King, that, though his
armies had been victorious, his son

back upon the congratulations OF

My friends. the question which
David, the King, asked in regard to
his son is the question that resounds
to-day in the hearts of hundreds of
parents. Yea, there are a great null
titude of young men who know that
the question Of the text is appropriA
ate when asked in regard to them.
They know the temptations by which
they are surrounded; they see so

those who have dropped from high

ARDMoRE, TUESDAY, Dec. %


Thus far the pending bills for
the division and proper govern
ment of the Indian Territory
seem to nave made no progress in
congress. At the opening of the
session there seemed to be a
probability of wholesome legis-
lation on the subject. But after
the presentation of various bills,
the matter has been allowed to
drop out of sight. Even the COM
mittees on Indian affairs of the
two houses, so far as the pub
lished reports indicate their
movements, are no longer giving
the question attention.
The Times has frequently call
ed attention to the matter of par
amount Importance in reference
to the question. 1t is that the
lines be so drawn as to guarantee
full justice to the Indians and at
the same time secure such a 1ivis-
ion of the Territory as will afford
-eompactness and contiguity of ter
ritory and homogenity of popula-
ton. The bill presented in the
senate by Senator Cockrell of this
state assures all these. The In
dians will be made secure in
their rights to ample land for
their use, and the Oklahomans
will get a territory that is suita-
bic forsettlement and cultivation.
While senators and congress-
men are so greatly exercised
over what they term the danger
to residents of a far off island it
would be we'll for them to give
some time to the consideration of
equally reprehensible conditions
near home. The government of
the Indian Territory is more i'm
portant. to the people of this
country than the government of
Hawaii, and even if the worst re-
ports from Honolulu are true that
country is in no greater need of
protection than the people of
Oklahama and the Indian Terri
tory,-Kansas City Times.

The Buffalo News, in recent article, re-
marks upon the fact that Bernard Gillian,
the cartoonist of Judge, is one of the few
living men whose cartoons have ever
changed vote in the U. S. Senate"
Bernard Gillian is a young man, but 35.
He received his art education in England.
He is to-day the foremost cartoonist of
America.
In 1880 he came to Harper's Weekly as
the colleague of the immortal Mast. His
work afterward for Frank Leslie's and
Puck well fitted him for bringing Judge to
it's present success. In 1886 Mr.. Gillian
went into partnership with w. j. Arkell
and bought Judge. The full-page colored
cartoons, Mr.. Gillam's special province on
Judge, equal the remarkable efforts of. the
great Keppler in Judges older rival.
There is probably no form of brain work
that is SO exhausting, so exacting and so
intense as the work of the great artist on
the large comic papers. To turn out bril-
liant ideas with the regularity of machin-
cry and yet keep their work up to the high
standard set by their splendid reputation,
makes fearful demands upon their nervous
vitality Mr.. Gillian knows what severe
work means.

position has at times brought him near to
prostration and the giving up of his work.
He says in letter dated New York, No
vember 10, 1894:
''No tonic that have taken has done me
so much good as Paine's celery compound.
When 1 am run down or exhausted after
particularly exacting work on cartoons and
in other artistic occupations L have found
dose of the compound exceedingly bene-
fetal as a restorative for the nerves."
The racing speed of the marvellous new
processes for swiftly carrying out mems
ideas is taxing to their utmost the nervous
systems of countless men and women.
A cry of protest is going up all over the
country from medical men against the sui
cidal waste of nerve force. Preachers,
editors, lawyers, even doctors themselves,
from their daily round of hard, anxious
work-every brain-worker, in fact, who
labors draws heavily upon his nervous
vitality, must take alarm at the first sign
of brain-tire, pressure, fullness or tension
in the head, or nervous fatigue.

clans every day are not only prescribing,
but themselves using, Paine's celery COM

invitation of the Chamber of Commerce to

Delegate A. Fuhrseth reported in regard
to his trip to Washington as a representa-

stated that the passage of the bill for the
protection of American sailors, introduced
by Congressman Mcguire, was materially
aided by the flood of petitions sent to
Senators and Congressman by labor unions
