Iowa Indians Want Their Money.

contract has been ratified ia the
district court of Logan county between
Judge 9. R. Bnckner of Guthrie and
the Iowa tribe of Indians, by which
Judge Buckner undertakes to recover
for the Iowas, a large sum of money
due them from the government, as
guaranteed them in five treaties, dat
ing as far back az 1880. The Iowas
claim that in the treaty of 1890, for
land ceded them in Missouri and Iowa
prior to their removal to Nebraska,
the government set aside Sl57, 500 ou
which they were to draw i've per cent
annually. The interest on the full
amount was paid for several years, but
afterwards on only S57,5OO. For the
years 1879 to 1882, inclusive, wher they
came 10 Oklahoma, they received no
annuity at all on this sum. In 1854
they a!lege that the government gave
them about 30 sections of land on the
Nemeha river IN Nebraska, with the
promise that ten houses should he
built on the land, and $500 allowed
annually for the purchase of agricul-
turai implements. The Iowas still
own the land, but say that the govern
ment never fulfilled its promises.

HOW JAMIE PASSED.
lie Plays Tricks on His school Prin-
cipai white That Parsonage
Is Calling on His sister.

Jamie has big sister-a blooming. bound
ING destroyer OF hearts, and the principal OF
Jamie's school used to call on her. He came
one evening just before the close of the last
term, and wore rubber overshoes. He al.
ways was afraid Of catching cold. He left
these shoe protectors in the hall. Jamie, by
no means sure OF passing from seventh into
Cighth grade was coming his geography
from necessity, not choice, and he saw those
gOloshes.
SO he got the tack hammer and two tscks
and nailed through the rubber soles into the
floor. When Mr.. Principal departed an hour
later Jamie was watching him. Mr.. Prlnci-
pal, still smiling on the big sister, inserted
his feet in his rubbers-and then he braided
himself up in the most amazing fall that
ever an educated man accomplished. The
big girl picked him up and extracted him
from his stationary footwear, but she was
shaking with laughter
Next day Jamie, sweet seraph, drifted past
the principals desk with look of angelic
innocence on his chubby face.
He paused a moment
"Who. called your" asked the petulant
"The kids called me. They called me
'rubbers!' Say. Mr.. Soandson, do pass?'
And the eyes Of the two met for one tense
moment. Then the principal surrendered.
"Nes-you passl" he snapped
If he had said "no" he would have lodged
to the end OF his days every time he heard a
boy cry "rubbers!"
And Jamie was honest about il. He told
no one-not even when his big sister padded
him.-Chicago Chronicle.

"Pll tell you what he DONE" said the
