A Rough House in EdwardsyiIle.

Ringing Bros circus which
showed in Edwardsyille Wednes-
day brought in town a seemingly
well organi zed gang of robbers.
They got in considerable work de-
spite the vigilance of the police
and the presence OF a number of
ST. Louis detectives. Residences
were burglarized during the pa
rade, those of NJ. B. Sherman,
Louis Hartung and Henry Meyer.
In the evening as the last section
of the show train was pulling out
one of the men held up one of the
shows own employees, robbed
him and threw him head first from
the moving train. He was found
the next morning unconscious in a
ditch beside the track, where he
had lain all night, and was taken
to the county farm for treatment

The turning down of the Rem

Ion the other day by the Dawes
commission places that body on
record as holding that blood alone
is the test of citizenship in that
nation, or rather, that one adopted
citizen cannot adopt another. The
Rennies have been recognized as
Chickasaws for many years, hold
ing office and growing rich off the
common property of the tribe. But
someone raised the question OF
their citizenship and the proof
showed that there was no Indian
blood in their veins, so they were
dropped from the rolls.

The members of the Circulating
library during the past three
months have had literary treat.
With the assistance of Long
fellow, Mrs. Oliphant, Lytton and
Ruskin we have caught beautiful
glimpses of beautiful things in
Germany, Switzerland and par
ticularly Italy.
Scott and Crockett have kept us
familiar with the dear old Scotch
ness and we have had no. lack of

Our own Will Allen Droomgoole
in her inimitable way, has told us
stories both funny and pathetic,

pion of the West, has given us
glimpses behind the political cur
tains. There have been numerous
works of lighter vein, but three

IT is generally conceded that
while allotment is surely coming
in the Cherokee nation, it is still
some years off. AS much as it is
to be desired, the preliminary
work will take time. The estate,
to each heir, is a small one, which
fact makes it all the more neces-
sary to divide it carefully. 1t
should be the policy of the United
States to see to it that no one gets
a share of this last inheritance of
the Indian who is not justly en-
titled to it. The census rolls
should, and doubtless will be, sift
ed carefully, and every name
stricken off not legally entitled TO
citizenship.

Each little house, with the boxes,
cubby-holes, aud fences about it, has
been built by the man who lives in IT.
And he is laborer, struggler for
mere existence, not deft in the use of
tools, nor with an eye for the sym
metrical, nor with an appreciation for
anything beyond the most primal facts
of living. The roofs of the buildings
slant at all angles, with no two sides of
the same length or detection. One por-
ton will have caves, while its compan-
ion will scorn the luxury. The same
incongruity prevails everywhere. Some
of the small openings used for windows
are high, while others are low. One
door will open in, and another out.
The hinges have evidently come from
the company scrap-pile, and the staples
and latches and locks from the same
source Some of the roofs have shin
giles, others weather-boards, while
others are formed CT great pieces Of

ed the reason of his seeking Hardwood.
All he knew was thiS-that he missed
Hardwood. that he was used to him,
that he felt uncomfortable without him.
So he came. Even gutter cat, forcibly
transported into distant parts, turns up
again in its old haunts. Harewood's
company had become the haunt of the
Mouse. So he came back to il.
The Wretched creature was nearly
starved. Hardwood drew him into the
thicket beside the road. and gave him
his last morsel of bread and meat.
''Imbeciler' he whispered while the
Mouse gnawed the crust, squatting on
his muddy launches; there may be
Prussiar pickets anywhere along the
fields. Didn't you know it?''
Yes" said the Mouse TRANQUILITY
there's a picket of Uhlans just
ahead"
This was startling news for Hare
wood
"Where?" he demanded under his
breath.
About a kilometre over that way"
replied the Mouse, jerking his thumb
toward the southeast. He was going
4 to add something more when the sud-
den tinkle of q horses shod foot strik-
ing stones broke out in the night. They
erouched low in the thicket listening
The road was lighter now; gray
lance. Others rode up mounted on
viry little horses, all carrying tall
lances that ratified in their saddle
boots.
AS Hardwood strained his eyes the
moon broke out overhead-a battered
deformed moon, across whose pale disk
the flying scud whirled like shredded
smoke.
A cultural voice began in German
Where are the ScOuf s-eh 2''
Then in the moonlight Hardwood
saw Speyer and Stauffer, clad in the
uniform of the carbineers, salute the
Uhlan officer and hand him a thin
packet of papers. The Mouse beside
him trembled like a terrier at a rat
hole; Hardwood clutched his arm and
stared at the group in tho road
There was a brief parley, a word of
caution, then the Uhlans wheeled their
horses and galloped back toward Paris,
and the two traitorous carbineers
struck off across the meadow toward
De Bourget, then made q demi-tour,
and followed the bank of the river.
Very cautiosuly Hardwood crept out
to the road when the gallop of the
Uhlans had died away.
The Mouse stood beside him, an open
clasp-knife in his fist, nostrils CULVER
ing in the freshening wind
Hardwood glanced at the knife and
said, What are you going to do? Cut
your way to Paris? Come back TO LIE
Bourget, you fool"
Half way back across the wet
meadow the Mouse asked: And if we
overtake Speyer?"
Are you the public executioner?'
SAID Hardwood sharply. Put up that
knife, tell you"
After a while Hardwood asked him
about Bourke and Hide and Yolette.
But he knew little more than Hare
wood did, for he had left the house on
the ramparts the morning after Hare
woods departure, and since then had
been following him up.
Morning was breaking as they ford

sentrY's challenge from the ruined

ITS HUMBLE RELATIVES
The Beautiful Rose a Kin to Some
Common Plants.

Boston Evening Transcript: Many
of our most beautiful shrubs are close
relatives; as the Towering almond aid
Japan ounce, cultivated in New Eng
land gardens, and the wild service
whose blossoms whiten our wocdside
roads in early spring. Because these
blossoms appear at the season when
shad run" this tree is often called
shadbush, While its edible berries bear
the name of the month in which they
ripen-June.
The rose family has numerous
branches and as it possesses wonder
full adaDtability to differences of
climate, it is widely dispersed. The ap-
pie, pear. ounce, apricot, peach, plum,
cherry, raspberry. blackberry and
strawberry all belong to the family,
which is distinguished by owning no
black sheep. Every branch is whole
some and of use to mankind. Existing
in the bark and roots of most of the
order is an astringent principle, which
is occasionally used in medicine.
The roots of gillenia and agrimony
were formerly used incidentally, and
the fruit of the blackberry still forms
the basis of a cordial used for the re-
lief of summer complaints. The kernels
of the almond and peach form the sole
exception to the general wholeSomenesS
of Rosacee, as they contain prussic
acid, a deadly poison, and the leaves
of the common cherry laurel yield a
hydro cyanated oil.
The oil of bitter almonds. known to
commerce as benZoic aldehyde, is made
by macerating and distilling the kernels
and is initiated by the substance
known as nitro-benzene, which is also
poisonous. A fine oil expressed from
the sweet almond is used IN food and
medicine as well as in the manufacture
of soap and perfumes. 1t is, however,
liable to adulteration with oils made
from the kernels of peach, apricot, plum
or cherry The plum and nectarine re-
suit from long cultivation of the COM
mon black thorn, a humble relative of
the rose. The cherry most familiar in
the varieties of black heart, oxheart
and May duke "a corruption of the
French Medoc) is valuable in the wild
black species for the fine grain of its
wood, which is much used in cabinet
work.
But the branch of the family which
ministers to the luxurious as well as
the aesthetic element IN human nature
is. after all, the rose itself. For in
Roumelia, India and the south of
France lie great farms wherein the
Provens or cabbage rose is cultivated
from the petals. The flowers, gathered
before sunrise, are distilled during the
same day in double their weight of
water. AFTER remaining for several
days the oil which rises to the surface
is SKINNED. This oil is the famous
altar, and 1t takes 200, 900 roses to yield
the weight in oil of one rupee an
amount which is sold on the spot for
100 rupees, or over $500 in gold.

ASHES OF EMPIRE.

and climbed the bank opposite and
started across a wet meadow, beyond
which lay the muddy road to Paris.
Half way through the meadow he halt
ed again to listen. The unseen person
was wading the ford-he could hear
him in the water; now he was climbing
the bank; the bushes cracked; a foot
step fell on the gravel
Hardwood waited, peering through
the gloom. He could see nothing; the
silence was absolute Whoever was
following him had stopped out there
scmewhere in the darkness.
A little unnerved, Hardwood turned
again and fastened through the mead
CIV to the highway. When he reached
the road he could scarcely see it, but
he felt the mud and gravel beneath his
feet, and started on. IN moment he
heard the footsteps of his follower, not
far behind now, but in frort-between
him and Paris. He stopped abruptly
ard drew his revolver. a minute passed
in utter silence. Then there came a
soft football close in front, a whining
voice:
Who are you?" said HARDWOOD.
sharply.
1.-The Mouse, monsieur"
In his astonishment the revolver al
most fell from Harewood's hand. What
the devil are you doing here?'' he de-
manded, and why the devil are you
sneaking about like this? Answer. you
fool / nearly shot you just now
The Mouse crept up to Hardwood as
a sull1y, vicious cur comes to his pun
ishment
Answer" repeated Hardwood, why
are you following me?"
IT wasn't sure it was you" muttered
the Mouse.
What? Why did you come to LIE
Bourget?'
I don't know said the Mouse. sui
lenly. -a
Harewood's amazement turned to i'm
patience.
YOU'D better answer me, he said:
you certainly didn't come here for
love of my company
But that was exactly the reason why
the Mouse had come. The instinct of
a savage cur for its master, the strange
attraction that -decency and courage
have for the bruta1ly vicious, the ne
cessity that dwarfed intelligence feels
for the conapanionGhip and guidance
and protection of healthy mentality
ali these started the Mouse out of Paris
as en- abandoned mongrel starts 20 find
its missing master.
Hardwood understood this at last, and
1T touched him-not that the Mouse ex-
plained it. He could not have explained
it, even if he had himself compreh d.
