Judge Kilgore is now holdin
court twenty miles north OF
Pauls Valley, at II place called
Purcell. The only reason for
so doing is that the law requires
it to be done, and not through
business necessity, for there is
very little business to be trans
acted. The grand jury finished
its work OH Tuesday morning
and would have then adjourned
but for the interposltion of Com
missioner Thompson in asking
investigation made of matters
in the Pauls Valley district,
and which matters We're in
hand when the court was in
session at Pauls Valley. Deputy
WOrley was sent out to Purdy
and Deputy Martin to PaOii,
both in the Pauls Valley district,
to summon witnesses to prevent
this session of court from
being a failure. The only busi-
ness transacted on Monday was
a motion for a restraining order
in a suit pending in Pauls
Valley. The deputy marshals
are now on the fee system. and
if eases in the Pauls Valley dis.
trict are investigated at Purcell
they will get a longer haul. II

Useful Hints.

Pretty and effective lamp shades that
can be readily changed when sOiIed are
made from the little Japanese or
Chinese umbrellas. These can be
bought for few cents ut any OF the
japanese stores. y round hole Is cut in
the center to fit the the lamp globe,
and the whilOm umbrella is tied into
position with piece of baby ribbon.
For blistered heel, scrape a little
yellow kitchen or laundry soap To a
paste with very little water and apply
to the spot Or, before starting out on
a long tramp, turn the stockings wrong
side out and thoroughly soap them
about the heel. This will be found an
efficient preventive.
Fresh meat should not be allowed to
remain rolled in paper, for the paper
will absorb the juices. Remove the
paper and lay the meat on an earthen
plate.
Fat will not burn if it has something
TO do; so if il has tO be left idle for few
minutes put a crust of bread or a slice
of raw potato into the kettle.
Powdered charcoal, if laid thick on a
burn, CAUSES the immediate abatement
of the pain. y superficial burn can
thus be healed in about an hour.

A Matter of Spelling.

1t is one of the curious facts that
many of the brightest writers spell
atrociously. That in itself goes long
way in the practical demonstration
that illiteracy does not connect itself
with the art of spelling. An excellent
article that recently passed through
editorship in this Office contained the
Words VILLAGE, "Chineese," ''prarie"
"parallell, - failure, :" "Portugeese" aud
''loose" fors' lose" 1t was an admirable
paper of choice literary quality and yet
had it been printed as it was written
the proofreader would have been open
to summary discharge for obvious and
hopeless incompetence.
That humble minister would have
been declared too illiterate to read
proof. Going backward one step, the
copy reader that let such manuscript
pass without alteration would also be
open 70 discharge. Why? For illitera-
cy. And yet the literary quality of the
illiterately written article was fine and
evident. People are very sensitive
about their looks and their spelling.
Next in gravity to the charge of being
homely is the charge of being unable
to spell. That seems to carry with it n
sort of proof that bad spelling is dis
creditabIe. Aud yet the people whom
the charge most hurts are those of
whom it is truest. To be able to write
without being able to spell is like being
able t1 run without being able to walk.
Those who do it are wonder to those
who look on.-Hartford Courant.

Too True.

An exchange thinks boy ought to
have as much consideration a. a bull
pup, at least. If a man had so bull
pup, he would look after it carefully
and not let it run at night or day all
over town. But if he has boy, it is diff
ferent. He is turned loose at a tender
age to go to the devil, and then people
wonder where that great army Of
tramps, buns, deadbeats, lOafers,
gamblers and drunkards come from
each decade They are germinated
from pure seed, gathered from our
homes and sown broadcast on our streets
and alleys. 1t may be that your boy
is making growth in this direction.
At all events the boy ought to be
given an equal show with the bu Il
pup.

First Locomotive Whistles.

We are accustomed to regard the
whistle rs very important part Of the
locomotive engine, hut within the menu
Dry of some Of the older engineers the
bell gave the only warning of the APP
proach of n train. The first whistles
were intended As a warning in more
ways than one. In the early days Of
the railroads the trains were much in
terrupted by cattle, sheep and pigs on
the right of way, and in order to fright
EN- them off small hole was bored in
front of the engine boiler and fitted
with tube. When the train came
rattling along and the engineer saw a
cow on the track, he opened this hole
and out spurted the steam aud hot wa
ter with tremendous cracking and
Kissing, filling the air with a cloud OF
mist. Presently some ingenious work
man fitted up reed and drove it into
the steam hole and the sereeehing and
whistling that 1t made not only fright
ened the cows, but terrified every one
who lived along the road, but it did its
work so we'll that the whistle was fin
ally removed from the front of the Ell.

A Knocker.

The following is from the Toledo Bee.
1t contains a good many good sugges-
tons that will apply 10 every commu-
nifty:
III there is chance to boom busi-
ness, boom it, Don't be a knOcker.
Don't pull long face, and get sour in
your stomach. Hope a bit. Get smile
on you. Hold up your head. Get hold
with both hands. Then pull. Bury
your hatchet. Drop your tomahawk.
Hide your little hammer. Don't be a
knocker.
When stranger drops in, jolly him.
Tell him this is the greatest town on
earth. 1t is Don't get mulish. Don't
roast Just jolly. All men like to be
jOllied always. SO jolly. Get Jocular.
It's dead easy. Help yourself along;
push your friends with you. Soon
you'll have a whole procession. Be a
good fellow. Don't be a knOcker.
No man ever helped himself up by
knocking other people down. No man
ever got rich by trying to make people
believe he was the only good man on
earth. You can't climb the ladder of
fame by stepping on other peoples
corns. They're their corns; not yours;
and tender. Keep Off the eorns. Don't
be knocker.
All men are not alike. Once in a
while you may find one who is very
much alike. But some are different.
You're not the only one. There are
Others. If you don't like their style,
let 'em alone. Don't knock. Walk
right in. And make yourself look
pleasant. You'll get used to it. There's
no end of fun in mindiug your own
business. And it makes people like
you. Litter have others stuck on you
than get stuck on yourself Nobody
gets stuck on knocker. Don't be one.
Or two. BE good.
Toledo is going to the front now.
Can't help it. Too much knocking
kept her back for years. That's over.
Land values low. Town growing. Lots
of building. Many strangers They like
the town. Cont help it. Many will
invest. .GDon't shOo 'em away. Don't
be knocker. Tell 'em they're well
come. Look pleasant. Say howdy. 1t

Home, Sweet Home"

When the boundary line between
Tennessee and Georgia was established
1t passed half a mile south of the spring
Tuck-a-lee-cheec chee, among the foot
hills of the Unikas, and, as it crossed
one Of the principal Indian trails, ii
became a place of much importance.
There had already grown up strong
rivalry between the Tennessee tribes,
headed by Chief Ross, and the Georgia
tribes, headed by Major Ridge, both
halfbreeds, and men of extraordinary
ability as leaders. The establishment
of a new boundary line fixed the limits
of their respective territories, and, to
try and harmonize, so far as possible,
the contending factions, the Govern
ment established a trading post there.
John Howard Payne appeared upon
the scene, and was accused of ineiting
the Indians to characterization. He was
placed uader arrest as an incendiary
and carried to the council house.
While Payne was held there, one of
the first bands arrived, and among the
Indians was the chief, o-chee, or Rat
tling Guard, a broken hearted man.
He was moody and distracted, and re-
fused all invitations to the council
house and would partake of no festive
eDjoyments whatever, but spent the
most of his time at the graves of his
wife and child, farther up the valley.
One morning he was missed. Welter-
ing in his own blood, his body was
found between the little mounds that
covered his squaw and papoose. In
some way he had secreted bayonet,
fell upon the point of it, and died on
the spot where he had often expressed
desire to be laid for his last long sleep.
A grave was dug on the spot where
he lay, and the chief was buried by the
soldiers, one of the Morvian mission
aries officiating. After the services
were over, John Howard Payne, who
had been a silent witness Of the pathetic

the song which has since been echoed
through every land on the earth. Gen.
Bishop, who had kept close scrutiny
on his actions, heard the song and call
ed Payne to him.
"Young man." said the stern old In
dian fighter, "where did you learn that
song?"
al wrote that song myself" replied
Payne.
"And where did you get that tune? ,"
81 composed that also"
Would you let me have a copy of
it?p
Certainly, | will"
"Well, a man who can sing and write
like that is no incendiary. Appear
ances may be against you, but am go
ing to set you free / shall write out
your discharge Immediately, and pass
you anywhere you choose through the
nation"
Payne had been housed at the home
of family living near by, and on his
return there he exhibited his pass and
related the circumstances That was
the first time that "Home, Sweet
Home" had ever been sung in public.

G A. r. Growth.

A remarkable fact, developed at this
years gathering of the Grand Army of
the Republic, at Louisville, Is that
great increase in membership over last
year is shown. The organization, one
might almost say is renewing its youth
The current official report, if we do no
mistake it, figures, shows the enormous
gain of 43, ,0i0 members in good stand
ing during the year, or over eleven per
cent. And this gain, too, has been
secured with the large loss by death Of
7,SGS; for losses from this source be-
come very heavy as the years 60 on.
Several years ago even the Grand
Army itself accepted the idea that it
had come TO its climax. The statistical
officer in lS92 noted that practically
il may be said that the membership of
the Grand Army is now at its highest
point. 1t no doubt will remain about
the above number for few years 10
come, when necessarily il must de-
crease, and the decrease will be rapid. !"
At that time the number of members
in good standing, reekoned at the be-
ginning OF 1872, was 4O7, ,7Sl, and since
that time the prediction has justified
ITSELF by successive faIlings off in the
number. The the following year, for
example, there was a fall off of, coo
names. But now a remarkable turn in
the tide is observed, and a total of 4l4,
595 members is noted, which is a very
heavy gain.
There are still many Union survivors
of the war who do not belong TO the
Grand Army, and these continue to
afforda recruiting ground for il.
Perhaps extra efforts have been made
during the last year TO secure them.
OF course, sooner or later, even with
such exertions, the ebb must come;
but meanwhile the unexpected influx,
with its signs of renewed aud vigorous
vitality, makes congratulatiOn to the
famous society of veterans in Order.-
