When the mother went into the grey
parlour that night she found the little
postulant there alone, prone upon her
face. The mother went over and stood
by the brass cross,
"Tt is useless" she said. ''You are

The UNFAITHFUL
POSTULANT.
BY BESSIE LOU BURGESS.

1t was a fair, exquisite, perfect face
tarned toward Heaven, full of a won
derful beauty, but the artist fingered
his brush in despair. There was no
depth, no passion of motherhood, ne
supreme wondering peace in that up
turned face Before him there was
constantly floating an earnest, wonder
ing face, serious, grave, passionate,
and surrounded by a halo of waving
amber hair
"You are distrait,' observed the
model. He looked up and met the
blue eyes fixed upon his face. Her Sc
cret was no longer in her keeping.
But-lOve
He went back to his work.
"Resume your pose, Amie." he said
wearily. And without word she
obeyed HIM.
The next morning the artist was
shown into the bare grey parlour, The
brass cross was shining in the morning
sunlight.
The mother superior met him coldly.
The artist stoed hGsitating and flushed.
II have come to ask you, mother,
whether or not | must give up my
painting Yeu wished the face to be
purely ideal. 1 find 1t turning into a
likeness Of that face | beheld in this
roem, under the brass cross over there,
a few days ago. Dear mother" he
cried despairinSly, "you know all be
merciful"
The mother's big black eyes were
afama,
81 am very sorry, II I have angered
you," he went on humbly, "but she is
an ideal madonna. A face like hers is
but rarely met with"
The mctLer looked at him and
smiled, the passion dying out Of har
eyes. She crossed the room and rang
for Sister Ethela, who appeared mo-
ment later,
"Bring the new postulant to me,
she commanded. Then she turned tc

Curly and Brown Must Hang.

On Monday last the supreme
court of the United States dis.
missed the writ of error in the
murder cases of Cyrus A. Brown
and George Curly who were SEN
fenced by Judge Thomas last De.
cember to be hung in February
last, but which was postponed on
account of the writ OF error secured
by defendant. Brown killed an
old fisherman on the Arkansas
river near Webber Falls, and was
tried and convicted before Jury
and found guilty. 1t is claimed
that he committed the deed with
the purpose of robbery. George
Curly, negro. was sentenced to
be hung for the murder of a farm.
er at the Arkansas river ferry,
near Choska last fall. These men,
according to law, must be senten-
ced to hang again before they can
be executed, as the old sentence
becomes void after the time the
execution was to be carried out. In
all probability they will be SEN
fenced by Judge Thomas at this
point some time in November If
not at the vinita session Of the
court.-Phoenix.

Curtis Bill Commended.

Agent Wisdom has made his
annual report to the interior de.
partment in which he has embodi-
ed certain recommendations to
congress-. In referring to the Cur
tis bill Col. Wisdom delivers him :
self as follows:
The passage by congress of an
act entitled An act for the pro-
lection of the people of the Indian
territory, and for other purposes,
approved June %, 1898, Common
ly known as the Curtis bill'), has
provoked among the people of this
agency its full measure of com.
mendation and adverse criticism.
1t is not my intention here, as
perhaps it is not my duty to dis
cuss its merits, or to expose its de-
fects-if there be any. AS an exc
cutive officer OF the government, l
have endeavored to interpret and
enforce it, except so far as have
been restrained by the ratification
of agreements made between GER
tain tribes and Dawes commissi on,
which agreements contain certain
clauses in conflict or inconsistent
herewith. Where such conflicts
occur the agreements prevail.
Whatever may be the imperfec-
tions of the Curtis bill, its primary
object is clear and it need not be
read between the lines to enable
one TO see that allotment of Indian
lands in severalty has come and
has come to stay. By its strict en-
forcement tribal autonomy will
disappear and monopolies will be
overthrow, and the homeless
Indian-now driven about from
pillar to post-wiH be guarateed a
homestead in his own right and
will be protected in the enjoyment
Of his liberty and allowed to wor-
ship God according to the die
tates of his conscience under his
own vine and fig tree.

A Disappointed Man.

Tuesday typical gentleman of
the rural districts, and having the
appearance of his first visit to
town for some time, entered R. NJ /.
Whaley's store and was looking
around, when Mr.. Whaley accost-
ed him, asking il there was any
thing be could show him. The
visitor from the pastoral
quietude of the rural districts said
he was just looking around to see
how prices were as it would be
some three or four days before he
would get his money, but when he
did he would want to buy about
three hundred dollars worth. Mr..
Whaley patted the would-be pur-
chaser on the back saying that he
would make prices to him entirely
satisfactory. The gentleman was
seemingly satisfied with the prices
and remarked to Mr.. Whaley
"that as soon as get my money |
think will order a bill of goods
from you. My wife died last week
and l will get $780,"
"Was your wife's life insured
for $780," asked Mr.. Whaley.
"No, my wife was a Creek In
dian, and | am told that when Il
Creek woman who has married a
white man dies, the government
pays the husband s6Ool' and in
walking out he said he would call
again in a few days. Mr.. Whaley
said nothing, but the look on his
face BODIED no good to the next
rural visitor who has lost better
half and is patiently waiting for
Uncle Samuel to come to the front
with six: hundred big iron dollars.

A Disaster AveYted.

A one armed man, while walking on
the railway track between Carlton and
Cloquet, noticed that the rails had
spread, and at the same time heard a
train coming. He walked on rapidly
until near enough to signal, which he
did in genuine railroad manner. The
train was stopped and the trainmen
descended to see what was the matter
Upon seeing that the track was in a
dangerous condition they went to work
to repair it. and it took an hour to get
the track in shape so that they could
proceed. A purse was made up by the
passengers for the man who signalled
the train and was given to him in graf.

year and was offered $4,000 for this years
crop and what he had held over from last

We are going back in the spring to work for
this same farmer until seeding, after which
we will homestead between seeding and
harvest. We think we will settle on the
