SOUAW MEN OUSTED.
The Government Dispossesses 10000
Families In the Indian
Territory.

In 1895. Henry L. Dawes, for many
wears one of the United States senators
from Massachusetts,, was appointed
chairman of commission created by
congress to endeavor to secure from the
five civilized tribes of Indians, in Indian
territory, their voluntary assent TO the
abandonment of tribal relations.
After the commission found that local
causes had defeated its object, congress
authorized il to make census OF the
tribes, ascertain who were and who
were not citizens, and suggest plan for
the division of the lands of the Indians
among those who were found to be citi-
zens.
Under the last authority the commits
sion has issued orders that all inter
married white men were intruders and
would have to leave the territory. This
means that fully 10000 white, or
"squaw," men who have married into
these tribes must leave their families,
possessions and business interests, and
seek homes elsewhere.
Tribal custom, if not law, has recog-
nized the white man who married an In
dian woman as an equal Indian CITIZEN
and, hence, eligible to acquire property.
These "squaw men" have settled the
greater part of the best lands, are IA
Tiers of nearly $4,000 half-blood chill
dren. and now declare they will not sur
render their acquired rights.

TESTING THE QUALITY OF AIR.
An Idea as to It's Purity May be De-
rived by Using smoke or
Peppermint.

Once a year is quite often enough to
have the plumbing tested for the escape
Of sewer gas There are two methods
of doing this-the peppermint test and
smoke test. The latter, says Chicago
exchange, is regarded as the most alb
solute, though both are used. When
such a test is made the regular escapes
for the water are plugged up and smoke
is pumped into the pipes from the roof
For this purpose there is special ma
chine which combines n furnace and
force pump. In the little furnace are
put old rags or discarded Christmas
trees, or anything which will make a
fine smudge. AS soon as these are in
good smoking condition the smudge is
forced down into the pipe and tour
of examination is made. If the smoke
escapes at any point it can be detected
at once.
The peppermint test is made from
the roof also. The escapes are plugged
up and then about pint of peppermint
oil is poured in the roof pipe, followed
by bucket of hot water. The odor OF
the peppermint is so penetrating that
it will quickly escape at any defective
spot. But the man who handles the
peppermint has to stay on the roof un-
til the examination is complete or the
whole house will be permeated with the
odor.

TIE CITIZEN.
THE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM.
What One Sees Who In This Day
Visits the Most Historic Spot
I'm Judea-

J. James Tissot, the great French
artist. who has made the remarkable
Illustrations for the Life of Christ"
writes Of Christmas at Bethlehem in
Century:
'"The town of Bethlehem is shaped
in the form of a crescent, descending,
terrace by terrace, the side of the hill
on which it is built. On one of these
terraces are grouped the massive build
ings of the Latin and Greek converts,
between which stands the basiiica,
charming the eye by the peculiar grace
of its lines All the houses are dis
tinctly Jewish in appearance, with fiat
roofs capped by cupolas, and many OF
them have pointed archways which offer
pleasant places for repose in hours OF
sun or shade.
This creeping of the houses down
into the very gardens of the valley
heightens wonderfully the beauty OF
the landscape; while in the background,
toward the Dead sea, the mountains OF
Moab tower ma jestically above the gem
tie undulations of hill and vale. Every
feature of this never-to-be-forgotten
scene is full of sacred significance. In
front of the city you are shown the field
where Ruth and Boaz met, and near by
is the spot where the shepherds were
told of our Saviour's birth. AT point
still nearer the crescent-shaped city is
the well from which David so desired
drink after doing battle. A little far
ther on, and quite by itself, is the tomb
of Rachel, beyond which are other
battle fields mentioned in the Bible.

"Or The regimental football?" asked
another.

questioned Sergt. Smith.
"Wherc from?" | retorted. From

"The deuce you did!" roared the

And so it proved. That pudding is
now preserved in the battery museum

The Sulus-Area, 1000 square miles;

Guam, in the Ladrones. 500 square
miles The population of these islands
is mostly barbarous.
The aggregate population of the is
lands annexed is about 10, 900, 900.
This annexation business is new de-
parture for the United States, and is a
reversal of our previous policy. But as
the most enlightened, justice and liber-
ty loving people on earth, why should
we not extend the blessings of consti-
tutional freedom to those people? Our
new possessions may cause us consid-
cradle annoyance and give US some new
and great problems to solve. But that
is what we are here for. True great
ness does not shut itself up in the oys-
ter shell of its own selfishness and refuse
to be bothered with inferior peoples,
but enters actively and energetically
into the great work of extending the
boundaries of civilization and increasing
human happiness throughout the world.
The flag of freedom floats over the
crude inhabitants of these islands be-
cause the Infinite Ruler of the Universe
would have it so. 1t is destiny. Is
there not wisdom, justice and mercy in
it beyond human understanding? Why
should anybody whine and lament be
cause the yoke of the most tyrannical,
bigoted nation ON earth has been lifted
from the backs of nearly ten millions of
souls and their destines linked with the
most liberal and enlightened nation on
earth? Why should we weep because
ten million people have turned their
faces to the dawn. .-Punxsutawney

Some English Einigrants.

Up til now, If the inhabitant o.
Norfolk village emigrates, it is gen
orally to America, says writer in
Longman's Magazine, and very often he
does not like America when he gets
there. I remember a blacksmith with
whom / was well acquainted going
there, but in "a couple of years or So he
was to be seen working at the old forge
in lis native village. / asked him why
he had come back, and he told me that
he earned plenty of money out mere,
but he didn't like it," When was in
New York tailor came to see me who
had been an apprentice here in Bungay.
He told me the same story. Plenty OF
money, especially at times, but he
"meant &c get back as soon as he could. y
Also had conversation with an Eng
lish coachman whose tale was much
the same. His wages were large, but
"there weren't no society for such as
him." IN the states they were all 'ce nts
or niggers."

CALM ADVICE IN RAINSTORM.
The Tall Man Tells the Little one mo
Runs Into Him to Hold HIS
Head Up.

It was the day that it rained so hard
and showed little to help out, the day
that the big steamer foundered oppo-
site the Auditorium and half dozen
other vessels were in distress along the
lake shore. The wind and rain swept
through the streets in binding gusts
and every pedestrian plowed along with
head bent to escape the wind, umbrella
firmly clutched to avoid its destruction
and deep disgust for everybody anu
everything written on his averted coun-
tenance, says the Chicago Chronicle.
One little man was wrestling with
wind and weather in a desperate sort
of way as he forced his course along
Fifth avenue. His head was down so
low that he could see nothing except
the paving blocks, and still the shifting
wind carried the rain into his face at
times. At Washington street he es-
sayed to cross the street, and in doing
so ran directly into tall man who was
irving to get along with his head in the
air. The tall man doubled up for an in
slant, but he did not get mad. Instead
of saying harsh and profane things to
the man who had thus buffeted him he
said:
Hold your head up" Then he strobe
on.
The man who received this piece OF
advice did not for a moment or two
realize what had been said. He stood
still, and when il dawned upon him that
perfect stranger had volunteered a
rule of conduct to be followed on
stormy day he turned with frown and
q retort on his lips. But the tall man
was far away and the little fellow
bowed his head and once more plunged
into the storm

A REAL FORTRESS.
The Russian Monastery of SolOvetsk'
In ArchangeI, Is Well
Protected.

The monastery of Solovetslk, in Arch
angel, Russia, is inclosed on every side
by a wall of granite powders, measur-
ing nearly a mile in circumference, and
Is the best protected in the world. The
monastery itself is very strongly forti-
fed, being supported by round and
square towers about 80 feet in height
with walls 90 feet in thickness. The
monastery consists in reality of six
churches, which are completely filled
with statues of all kinds and precious
stones. Upon the walls and the towers
surrounding these churches are mount
ed huge guns, which in the time of the
Crimean war were directed against the
British White sea squadron. The monks
who inhabited the monastery at that
time marched in procession on the
granite walls while the shells were fly
Ing over their heads, to prove how little
they feared the attack of the British
fleet. Ten thousand pilgrims come an
nually to Solovetsk from all parts OF
Russia to view the churches and the
relics. They are conveyed in steamers
commanded and manned solely by
monks.

A Laugh i'm Church.

She sat on the sliding cushion
The dear, wee woman of four;
Her feet, in their shining slippers,
Hung dangling over the floor,
| She meant to be good, she had promised,
And so with her big brown eyes,
She stared ut the meeting house win
dows
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far up at the preacher,
But she thought of the honey bees
Droning away at the blossoms
That whitened the cherry trees
She thought of broken basket
Where, curled in u dusky heap,
Three sleek, round puppies with fringy
ears
Lay snuggled and fast asleep
Such soft. warm bodies to cuddlc,
Such queer little hearts to beat.
Such. swift, round tongues to kiss,
Such sprdwling, cushion feet;
She could feel in her clasping fingers
The touch of the satiny skin,
And IA cold, wet nose exploring
The dimples under her chin.
Then a sudden ripple of laughter
Ran over the parted lips
SO quick that she could not catch it
With her rosy finger tips.
The people whispered, Bless the
child,
AS each one walked from n nap,
But the dear, wee woman hid her face
For shame in her mothers lap.
