LAWLESS INDIANS.
Some OF Them Becoming Unruly in
the Northwest.

CHICAGO, December 21.-A special to the
Times Herald, from Wichita, Kan, says:
Information has been received at the office
of the United States Marshal at South Me-
Alester, Indian Territory, to the effect that
the lawless element among the Indians has
formed a conspiracy to burn up the United
States court house thereand all other United
states court buildings in the Indian Terri
tory.
The burning of the United States court
house at Ardmore the other day, with all its
records, Is believed to be the first attempt to
carry out the plot. The Indians are said to
be growing more FESTIVE as the LIST u Janu-
airy approaches, as upon that day all of their
tribal court are abolished and the Federal
Courts have full Jurisdiction in litigation
affecting the Indians.
Under the Indian law, one Indian can not
sue another for debt of any nature. There
are vast numbers of notes held by shrewder
Indians against their less provident breth-
rem, now uncollectable, which can be sued on
and collected us soon as the Indians come in
under the Federal law. 1t will ruin many
thousands Of Indians. who have heretofore
been considered wealthy, and it is the dis
content of this debtor class that is thought
to be responsible for the plot to burn the
court records and impede, as far as possible,
the administration Of Justice in the United
States Courts. Detectives are watching the
movements Of the suspected Indians.

The Newspaper and the Church

This is an age of progress and the church
can not afford to %stagnate. The clergyman
of today takes advantage of modern i'm
provements. He pays pastoral calls on a
bicycle; he lights his church by electricity
and he is experimenting with the plan of
giving his sermons Il wider circulation by
transmitting them to his parishioners by
telephone, The newspaper is by far the
most effective aid he can employ. 1t is the
ultimate manifestation of modern progress

InsnrinR His Ncighhors, Crons.

An interesting little story comes
from North Carolina. Along the banks
of the Cape Fear river are lowlandss
behind which lies higher level, or
bench. The lowlands are subject to
more or less frequent overflow by
freshets, which are destructive to crops
planted thereon. A number of years
ago a farmer, resident in the vicinity,
made very comfortable sum of money
by insuring his neighbors crops
against these freshets. His unvarying
success as an insurer was for many
years profound mystery to the peo-
pie of the region. In earlier days lis
reading of the future would have
stamped him as a dealer in the black
art. Yet his information came from
no occult source. Observation had
shown him that certain species of
wasp, which built its home in the
ground, built some years on the low
lands, and other years upon the high
er level Experience taught him that
when the wasps built on the loWlands
there were no freshets, and when they
built on the higher ground, the lower
would, some time during the season,
be submerged. The man had simply
noted an instance of that little under
stood prescience manifested by GER
tain insects aud animals, a better
knowledge of which might even be of
service to our national weather bu-
reau. 1t was only at his death that he
revealed his secret.

The water bear has the scientific
lame of tardigrada, because he takes

There was one little incident in
Robert Fultou's life at which few
people know and which Fulton never
forgot 1t took place shortly before
the return trip of his famous boats
voyage by steam up the Hudson river.
At the time all Albany foeked to tn
wharf, says Harper's Round Table,
which relates the story, to see the
strange craft, but so timorous were
they that few cared to board her. One
gentleman, however, not only boarded
her, but sought out Fulton, whom he
found in the cabin, and the following
conversation took place;
"This is Mr.. Fulton, presume"
''Yes, sir"
"Do you return to New York with
this boat?"
"We shall try TO get back, sir. "
"Have you any objection to my re-
turning with you?
''If you wish to take the chances
with us, sir, l have no objection"
"What is the fare?'
After a moments hesitation, Fulton
replied, "Six dollars" And when that
amount was laid in his hand he gazed
at it long time, and two big tears
rolled down his cheeks. Turning to
the passenger, lie said, -
Excuse me, sir, but this is the first
pecuniary reward 1 have received for
oil my exertion in adapting steam to
navigation. would gladly commemo-
rate the occasion with a little dinner,
but | ara too poor now even for that.
If we meet again, ] trust it will not be
the case.
As history relates the voyage termi-
mated successfully. -Four years later
Fulton was sitting in the cabin of the
CiamoH', then called the NoFh hirer,
when a gentleman entered. Fulton
glanced at him, and then sprang up
and gladly shook his hand. 1t was his
first passenger, and over a pleasant
little dinner Fulton entertained his
guest with the history of his success,
and ended with saying that the first
actual recognition of his usefulness to
his fellow-men was the SO paid to him
by his first passenger.
