lie Rose to Explain, and the Crowd Fell
Upon Him.
1t was in Bank alley. The morning
issues Lad been sold out, and the gang
was waiting for the rumble Of tho
evening presses. Jimmie de Kid sat
upon the summit of the coal pile near
The Times Democrats back entrance
wiping away the evidence Of the peach
turnover he had been masticating.
II say, Jimmy" yelled one of tho
crowd, "wot's dis ycre talk bout silver
and gold, and wot does 1G to 1 mean?'
Jimmy surveyed the gang. His eyes
flashed with conscious pride. Ho was
the ready reference book Of the boys,
and seldom did he ever get an upper cut
of question that he could not answer.
His form Strengthened out, and he bal
auccd himself carefully OH the summit
of the coal heap as he made ready to ex-
plain the complex condition of the
financial question.
eyer see, dis is how it's I'zo got 16
silver Gollars"-
He didn't get any further. With
grand chorus Of yclls that would have
done credit to Il band Of Comanche In
dians, the gang was upon him. Down
fell Jimmy, and as he rolled into the
gutter and up against the curbstone he
was pounced upon by Il dozen of his COL
leagues, and for few minutes Bank al.
ley rcsounded with the sounds Of tho
one sided fray. Jimmy's pockets wero
turned out with dexterous rapidity, and
then the Kid was permitted to rise.
Ode mex time you'sc fellers want ter
know bout financiers you'd better 60
tump yersclves in de Stats fore yer ask
me bout dem. See?" he scornfully
muttcred as he showed a match through
his suspender catch.
"Well, wot did yer say yer had $16

tempted explanation. - New Orleans

coaxingly as he and Mamie slowly
very slowly-advanced. II haven't

quiringly, as a young man who is afraid
of nothing looks at something entirely
outside his own interests that is yet in
teresting. That cool, masculine look to
which some women joyfully submit,
which is to others only the arrogant rec

THAT BOARD SUSPENSION.

The course of Chief Mayes in
suspending the board of education
upon the charges of John Henry
Dick is an act that certainly seems
to be warranted by the facts in the
case If there is anything in the
Cherokee government that all the
people feel called upon to guard
and defend it is the schools. The
key note TO the marvellous advance
ment of the Cherokees may be
found in the persistent efforts they
have made to sustain a school sys-
tenn. Our magnificent school fund,
set apart by the ancestors to insure
the education of their children, is
an instance of broad minded patri-
otism worthy of any race. If those
who are now in power refuse to
protect this fund, they certainly
should be held to account. The
people of Vinita feel especially
sore at the now suspended board
because this board has robbed the
town of a splendid public school.
Ivey is the nephew of Hoolie Bell
and is his plant tool. When the
handling OF our school funds are
placed in the hands of such men
the result can be seen from atar
Only one thing could be expected
and that is that the schools of the
country be paralyzed and the
funds squandered. When these
public plunderers found that they
were to be suspended. and in order
to strike the nation another blow,
and to cripple the schools as much
as possible, got together and made
the appointment of teachers for
the next term, an act against all
precedent if not in violation of the
law. If the board felt that the
charges would not be sustained
and that ii would be reinstated no
such act as this would have been
attempted, and no such bush
whacking would have been resort
ed to. But the council that cre-
ated this board has the power and
may even defend it against the in
reference of Chief Mayes, but it is
hardly in the range of possibility
that it will do so. National pride
would dictate a better course.

the number and character of its
enemies that have rallied around
the Leader office. There is quite
long line of talented(?) news

have tried to put THE CHIEFTAIN
Ito sleep" All the present force
can do is to remold as it were, the
same bullets those who have pre-
ceded them have used. When DR..

the fact was apparent that they
were practically out of ammuni-

Problems Of Public Education.

A prominent magazine recently
published six letters from success
iul teachers and superintendents
in the west and south, in answer
to inquiries looking to the ascer-
tainment as to just how effective
the public school system is. The
letters make few complaints but
throw a new and startling light on
the whole system of our over
crowded and oversystem a z d
schOols. In fact there is no other
point of view so instructive as
this. These confessions empha-
size several large facts and tenden-
cies, among them these
All of the writers confess that
their own training was inadequate,
and they complain that the teach
ers who now enter the profession
have been inadequately trained.
Nearly every one of them tells
of grave hindrances to educational
progress caused by the system OF
the political management OF
schools. Till teachers and super
intendents are chosen without any
reference to politics, no great
progress towards better work can
be made.
Every one reveals the fact, that
the patrons of the schools and the
public in general take too little in
terest in the schools.
