Dawes Commission.

Atoka, |. T.. April 1.-The
Dawes, Choctaw and Chicka-
saw Indian commissions have
been in session all day. The
townsite committee, consisting
of Messrs. Stuart, Wilkinson,
Douglas and Potter, presented
the resolutions which appeared
in the ARDMOREITE this NOR
ming.
Thomason of Lehigh and Nc
Gowan of Krebs represented
the mining interest. 4 meet
ing of the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw Protective Association was
held this evening, at which the
following report was adopted,
and the same will be presented
tomorrow:
I'VE, the committee on the
allotment OF lands and mineral
interests, respectfully submit
that,
Whereas, our constitution
guarantees to every citizen dis
covering mineral or mineral
waters the exclusive privilege
of working the same; and,
Whereas, acting under this,
the most sacred of all guaran-
tees, many citizens have eX-
pended their time and money
III developing mines, it is the
sense of this committee that all
such citizens shall be protected
in their individual royalty 50
long as we exist as a nation.
We further believe that in the
allotment of our lands there
should be no half way meas.
ures, and that in order to incitC
our homes, and to accelerate
their progress and advancement
we should have absolute titles
to all our allotments withou
reservation of the minerals they
contain" :"

THE ARDMOREITE is pleased to
know that the ladies of Ardmore
have undertaken the task of
assisting the stricken people
of Chandler. Their cry for
help should enter every heart,
and IA liberal response should
be made. Mesdames b. f.
Carter and George Fl. Webb are
a constituted committee to re-
ceive donations of any nature.
Money, food, clothing, bedding
and anything that can be given
will be joyfully accepted by a
people who at one fell swoOp lost
relatives, friends and all their
earthly belongings. Other la
dies are making an active can
vass of our people for assist
ance. Let the pastors of our
churches urge upon their hear
ers today the story of the good
Samaritan. Then we can all
rejoice that this cry for help
was not in vain, especially in
Ardmore, the metropolis of the
Indian Territory.

Bridging the Atlantic.

A sea tanned, harnessed, robbed of it's
terrOrs, no longer the "trackless' sea,
but marked by shining steel from Sandy
Hook to Fastnet Light--llghted, policed

as Broadway, with men watching by day
and night to guide vessels, to shelter dis
abled crafts, and telegraph for helpwhen

with all modern safeguards. This is, In
brief, what a great syndicate of French
capitalists proposes. And high engin-
eering talent has pronounced the propo-
sitlon feasible.
To make the Broadway of the sea is
the joint plan Of an Italian named Car
vell0 and a Frenchman named Lemieux.
Public experiments have been made by
them at the mouth of the river Seine,
near the ocean, which seem to demon
strate that success Is possible. Sig. Car
vello has invented ship which, in this
instance, will serve novel purpose. It's

tubes covered with steel netting, with
quarter-inch meshes, which are filed in

Biggest Beehive in the World.

Did you ever see a bee tree with a
swarm of bees around it? Well, mag
Nifty that about 10000 times and you will
have a slight idea of natural beehive in
Mendocino county, not far from Ukiah.
But this one is not in a tree. 1t is in a
rift in the face OF a cliff, andtradition has
it that there is large cave on the inside
where the myriads of busy insects make
their homes.
This great natural curiosity is known
to residents of the adjacent country as
Bee Rock" and they have grown to
look upon it as commonplace, when in
reality it is the only beehive of the kind
In existence; Mt least, the probabilities
are that 1t Is, for no reference to such a
freak can be found in any scientific or
popular work on entomology. In fact,
the bees live there contrary to all ac-
cepted theories in regard to their habits.
Natural beehives in hollow trees are all
right, but why this particular colony
should have selected hole in rock
is past understanding.

The Young People.
THE STREAM OF LIFE.


BY the stream Of Life stands fair young
child,
And she looks to the distant sea;
No thought of sorrow, no weight of care,
For her heart Is light and free.
She watches the stream as 1t glides along,
And on her lip Is a careless song;
For her heart is bright as the day Is long.
And the stream flows on to the sea.
A maiden stands by the stream Of Life,
Her heart still light and free;
How fair and bright CLEANS the silver tide,
How far 1t looks to the sea-
The days are long, there is naught to do,
The burdens of life are very few
The world is fair and the sky Is blue,
And the stream flows on to the sea.
A woman stands by the stream of Life,
And wearily looks at the sea;
The days are short--upon her lips
There Is no song Of glee.
Her eyes are filled with bitter tears,
Her back Is bent by the toll of years,
Her heart Is filled with many fears,
While the stream flows on to the sea.
BY the waters edge stands q woman old,
AT last she has found the sea;
Where the stream Of Life meets the stream
OF Death, that flows to Eternity
She looks and longs for the snowy sail,
She watches and waits for the boatman
pale;
The storm of life has passed with the gale,
And the stream has found the sea.

Effects Of Strong Tea and Coffee.

DR.. Book writes as follows respecting
the influence of these drugs: The ner-

are chiefly attributable to tea and coffee;
the digestive organs Of tea and coffee
drinkers are in a state of chronic de-
rangement, which reacts on the brain,
producing fretful and lachrymose moods.
Ladies addicted to strong coffee have a
characteristic temper, which might de-
scribe as a mania for acting the perse

per of the Chinese can be ascribed to
their immoderate fOndness for tea.-Sci-

and the march to the sea can be fol-

Der richer stores than gems or gold;

Like Ruth among her garnered sheaves.

Her brow is bright with autumn leaves.

The British government is now eK-
perimenting with a gun which will FIRE
900 shots in 1913 seconds. II Is the
deadllest Of all the automatic man
slayers ever yet invented AS with all
machine guns, the first shot must be
fred by hand. After that the weapon
will absorb cartridges and emit a chain
OF bullets as loLg as It is fed. Exper'
iments made thus far show that on the
occasion Of brief, sharp attack the
gun can actually be made to fire eleven
shots in a single second. A very In
teresting feature Of this new gun ia
that the explosive power results from
the use OF cordite. The whole OF this
substance is expended In pressure
whereas black powder is only useful
for pressure 10 the extent OF so per
cent. The experiments with cordite
and with the gun referred 10 show that
cordite Is not affected by water, az is
gunpowder, and will stand great yaria-
tion in temperature.
