A Keen Purchaser.

The younger portion Of the present
generation may not remember the old
fashioned silver coin, once so plenty in
the United States. of the value of 12h
cents. In New England ii was called a
"ninepence," in New York shilling"
and it bore other names in other sec
tions of the country.
One day tall, lank, tow-headeds speci-
men Of humanity, from the Mote noun
tain district. entered Sam Thom's store
in ConwaysN. II. lie looked around for
awhile upon the tempting things dis
played, and finally drew out from his
pocket a battered ninepence. which he
clutched with an evident determination
not to part with il recklessly.
"Say, mister" he said. pointing to a
box Of lozeDges upon the counter,
"haow much dye ask for them2"
1.-TWO cents a roll, was the reply.
"Wal, I'll hev a roll. What do you ask
for them apples?"

"Wal, let's SELL hev one of 'em
that'll be half a cent, and the lozengers

AETER INDIAN WIVES.

whites who Wish TO Become SduRw
M@u and Secure Valuable Lands.
According to the recent ruling of the
interior department August 10 was the
last date on which it was possible 60
qualify as a Cherokee citizen in the
"Cherokee Strip" and as consequence
a great number of scheming white men
were hunting Indian girls for wives, to
take advantage of the laws and become
a squaw man before that date.
Each Indian girl is entitled to 160
acres of land in the Indian territory and
q share in the large sum of money held
in trust by the government for the
Cherokees. Thousands of white men
have already acquired valuable lands
by marrying into the tribes, and all the
eligible Indian maidens were being
courted with as much ardor as titled
foreigners display in their efforts to
win the hearts and fortunes of Ameri-
can heiressca.
Notwithstanding the mercenary mo-
tives of their suitors, the Indian girls
readily accept marriage proposals from
white men, observation having taught
them that most squaw men treat theii
wives with more consideration thar
do the full-blooded braves. The
boom in the matrimonial market be
came greater as the day approached
when citizenship rights mightno Longer
be acquired by marriage, and all th'
ministers on the reservation and ever
over the Arkansas border had thei
hands full. Many of the Cherokee girls
despite their dark skins, possess con
siderable beauty and much intelligence
and some of them are graduates of tn
best Indian schools.
The results of intermarriage wit
whites are being watched with interes
by students of the Indian question, an
the belief is gaining ground in the yves
that the allotment of Indian lands /
severalty and the gradual assimilatio
of the Indians by the dominant race wi
in a few years relieve the government @
the problem that would otherwise neve
be satisfactorily solved.-Cincinnat

''It is wonderful how. much G9nf-

carrier to a Star reporter. Every often

right we can generally do the rest, it
matters not how the names are spelled.
or even if they have been left off alto-

are all right, but there is no address.
In nine cases out of ten such letters
reach their destination, though they
are often somewhat delayed. 1 had

my idea. 1t was addressed to public

is A DEATH TRAP.
A Novel Plan of ofProtectIon TO the City
of Halifax.


1t is probably not generally known
outside of the English officers in COM
mand of the station that Georges is
land, in Halifax harbor, is huge pit
filled with water, and that If an at
tacking party succeeded in passing the
forts at the entrance to the harbor and
landed they would be precipitated into
the water and drowned. The surface
of the ground is sodden and planted
with shrubbery, and is apparently
solid, but the only really solid part Of
it is a narrow board walk on which
the sentries pace to and fro. In case
an invading party took the island for
the purpose of commanding the city Of
Halifax they would break through and
fall into the pit about IS feet below
the surface. The excavation was made
about GO years ago, and the secret was
kept for not less than 3Oyears.
1t was not until 1867 that The dis
covery was made by two men in a boat,
driven ashore in a gale. One of them
attempted to make his way to the
dwelling occupied by the garrison and
suddenly disappeared. His companion
happened to get a footing on the board
walk. Discovered by the sentry, he was
summarily elected from the is.and, be-
ing placed aboard his boat and being
sent adrift in the storm. He succeeded
in reaching Halifax. The man who
broke through was drowned. The
story got spread about, but was not
believed. and as no civilians are per-
mitted to land at Georges island the
peculiar system Of protection is to-day
practically a secret.-N. Y. Mail and
