tie grandchild. named Pinky, was too
fair and beautiful for her own good, and
was about TO be sold down south, and
Mr.. Blake asked If she could be freed.
Not unless you bring her north, replied
Mr.. Beecher. I will be responsible for
her, and she shall be lawfully purchas-

Mary Ellen Is After Them.

Calamities in plenty have
been visited on Oklahoma, but
the worst has come, says the
Oklahoman. Mary Ellen Lease,
the noisy female Kansan, has
broken loose in a terrific anath-
ema against ''the beautiful
land" In the following CORE
spondence from Topeka she
smites us.
Topeka. Kas., April 29.-Mrs.
M. E. Lease, the Kansas ora
toress, visited Topeka today
and talked in an interview
about the awfulness of the Ok
lahoma flood. In it Mrs. Lease
sees the hand of an angry God,
and declares that the curse of
the Almighty rests on that
land. She said:
1.-The people of Ell Reno who
prayed for rain ought to haye
been building an ark. | believe
in prayer, but what a mockery
such a prayer is in Oklahoma.
The curse of the Almighty
rests upon that land. That was
the last spot of ground left for
the Indians. They had been
driven there from every quar-
ter Of the continent. But the
greed of the white man prompt
ed him to possess it for his own
use, and the Indian was forced
to go. Then God frowned on
the territory.
Look at the crime that has
been committed there; look at
the drouth; look at the disaster
at Chandler; look at the deluge
at Guthrie, FL Reno and else
where. Do you doubt that the
hand of Jehovah is in these
things! If He had been pleased
with the people, would He have
washed away their homes with |
an angry food when they asked |
for a shower to save their
crops?"
