HERIFF CAMERON seized four
y and three-fourths tons of hay
one day last week, the property of J.
Hammer, east of town, because Of
Hammers refusal to comply with the
laws of the Cherokee nation and pay
the customary royalty charged all hay
shippers. Dameron has advertised to
sell the hay August 10 to the highest
bidder. There seems to be chance
for clash between the authorities.
The hay was cut in Delaware district
and moved over into COoweescoOwee.
and was turned over to Sheriff Dame
ron by, some Indian police. 1t is I'M
derStoOd that the hay will be replev-
led and there is likelihood of law
suit following.

Sleep pOSsibI

eIUDGE BURLINGTON and wife
~ started for Tahlequah one day
last week, the judge being bent on
seeing Bob Talton hanged. On the
road their horse gave out, and the
judge was compelled to get out and
push when they came to hill. Being
afraid they would not reach Table
Quah in time for the hanging the
Judge sent a messenger to the high
sheriff asking that the neck-tie party
be postponed until he could arrive.
Nothing further has been heard, but
it supposed that the judge reached
Tahlequah in good season. Bill
Raines is authority for this story.

l SNAKE STORY was told last
La1 week in this Office by Mr.. A.
FOyil, of Foyil, /. T. His attention
was called by hawk fluttering in the
bushes and he at once concluded it
had been winged" by sportsman.
Going up to the bird to kill it he
found it securely entwined in the en-
brace OF black snake, and in turn the
hawk had its talons imbedded in the
snakes body. Neither could make its
escape and Mr.. Foyil killed both. His
conclusion was that as the snake
could not possibly have swallowed the
hawk that the latter was the aggres-
sor and hoping to make meal off the
reptile had pounced down upon it and
in the struggle been caught in its
coils.

A French Graph olosist Says That II In
dicstes the Writer'S Character.
A French gnphologist has discovered
that character can be read from tho
letter 1T" alone. He claims that the
vertical line represents the fatality Of
life, and the horizontal bar the infin-
ence human will exercises upon this
fatality.
In addition, he claims that the higher
mart Of the vertical lne-that project
inr above the horizontal bar--has indi-
cations of the amount Of ideality con-
tanned in the makeup Of the writer, and
that the inferior part of this line CORE
spends to the practical and material
part of the mans character.
For instance, the optimist crosses his
Us with q line that slopes upward from
the earth to the sky, as II were, The
poet often crosses his Us quite above
the vertical line; in other words, in the
sky.
The pessimist crosses his Us with a
downward sloping stroke. The line
which commences at the ideal portion
Of the letter, descends little by little un-
til it Is lost among the sad realities Of
earthly existence.
The practical man, 1t appears, always
steers % middle course, md crosses his
Us neither in the ideal nor in the ma
terial, but exactly midway between the

How a Birch Seed In German Graveyard
Grew and burst Open Woman's Tomb

How a Birch Seed In German Graveyard
Grew and burst Open Woman's Tomb
There Is In an old churchyard on one
Of the principal avenues OF Hanover,
Germany, an ancient grave which has
met with somewhat peculiar tate.
One hundred and thirteen years ago u
was dug to hold all that remained NOR
tai Of ifcnrictte Julanne Caroline v2n
Ruling. The tradition Of Hanover y
that Frau Won Ruling was a beautiful
woman in her day, and that, fearing py
some chance her grave might be opened
and her moldering corpse disclosed 70
view, she took precautions to keep Inc
seal OF her tomb unbroken.
At the back Of the massive monu'
ment, cut deep into the base OF the
pedestal, are these words: "This grave,
purchased In perpetuity, shall to the
end OF time never be opened"
BY strange fate IN the earth that'
was shoveled over her coffin fell
birch seed. As time passed on o shoot
pushed itself out between the stones OF
the massive monument, and then came
a struggle between the growing wood
and the ponderous slabs. A century
passed and the tree won. Bit by bit IL
split and burst open the great monu-
ment and upheaved the heavy oase
stones, exposing to view the grave that
was always to be concealed and KEPT
tightly closed.

APPLICATION OF A FABLE.
A Sleeps Skin Hides the Form OF hu'

The story Of the ass who clothed nm
self in q lions skin in order to pass
himself of as the king Of beasts Is well
known, but the tale Of the thief who
got inside a Sleeps skin to be better
able to carry on his nefarious trade
has vet to be told, says the London
Telegraph. Early one morning TWO
policemen, who were on duty ut the
slaughter houses Of Paris, were aston

where creatures Of It's kind were dou-
bled when mans hand protruded from
beneath the stolen fleece. Their curl
osity became intensified and they care
fully followed the sham animal, who
stopped at the pen which inclosed the
real article, and with great GOODNESS
chose the two largest and latest OF the
flock.
Still observed by the watchful guard
ians of the law, this plagiarist OF ar
ancient fable proceeded to kill and Gu
M his capture, and was on the poin
Of making of with his booty when HI
found himself in turn the spoil OF tn
law and was quickly msrched of u
the police station, where he gave hi
name as Eugene Lassot. From his &C
count he made good living out OF hi
occupation by selling the meat to warn
Gus butchers. For some time, at least
