his taste for liquor several years ago. He
became sick and was about to die when
the veterinary surgeons in charge recon-
mended that a dose of whisky be given
him. 1t braced the horse up. The dose
was repeated at intervals, and Dan entire
ly recovered under the influence of the
stimulant When the whisky was first
given to him it was with great difficulty
that he was made to swallow 1t, but he
gradually acquired a taste for 1t, which
grew into an Unsuitable appetite.
After Dan had recovered the officers at
the city jail gave him whisky as a joke,
just to see him caper about the lot. II
came to be a serious matter, however, says
the Kansas City World as drinking be-
came a habit with him, and he required
whisky at regular intervals The frequent
raids upon the saloons at Topeka, at which
large quantity of whisky was generally
secured and confiscated, furnished abun-
ant opportunity for the patrol driver TO
indulge Dams unusual appetite.
The police department changed hands on
July l. and ever since that time Topeka
has been the scene of a Temperance cru
SADIE. The practice Of giving whisky to
Dan was discontinued. He began losing
flesh, got off his feed and finally became
incapacitated for duty on the patrol wagon.
Those who understood the habits of Dan
said the cause Of his sickness was the
loss of his accustomed drinks of whisky.
In order to test the matter whisky has
been given Dan at regular intervals during
the last three days. He drank II greed
ity, and soon began showing signs of re-
covery. He Is now a sound and well
horse, doing duty on The wagon Those
who have witnessed the experiment say
that Dan can take tumblerfu of whisky
and drink it down as gracefully as any
man-and he does not require a chaser.

the sea was high. 1t is no easy job for
a man unaided to remove a body from
a tower like that into Towboat that is
tossing furiously upon the waves, but
Amos finally did 1t. The FIRST quiet morn
ing he left his bereaved home the very
minute it was lawful to put his light out,
rowed over a rough sea, and upon his
arrival at Winter Harbor called up the
sexton and minister and what friends
could be summoned and after a brief
and impressive service the body of Mrs
Rice was committed to the dust and her
soul to God, who gave it.
After they came from the cemetery one
of the neighbors asked Amos and the
friends to have little refreshment. Of
course they all accepted and among others
a "Ekely" widow. whose husband had
been dead two years and who was board
in round" among her relatives for want
of a home and income. Amos grief was
not greater than his sense of loneliness
and finding a sympathetic chord in the
heart of the widow, he proposed to her in
the presence of the whole company, and
the parson being present, they were imme-
diately married. The bride hurried over
to her sisters to put on her things"
while Amos continued to receive mingled
condolences and congratulations.
1t was o clock in the afternoon when
he started back to his watery eyrie with
his BRIDE with miles of rowing before
him. If any ships were out that night
they must have wondered why, for the
first time In a quarter of a century the
CLEANS of Tit Nan" light were not
visible for more than two hours after
sunset. Amos reached home at last,
after performing what he considers
good days work for a man who is more
than co. He rowed many miles in a dory,
buried one wife and married another. and
as in the case of the King Of Denmark,
the funeral baked meats set forth the
wedding dinner.

THE MANDAMUs CASE.


Yesterday the Herald published
the fact that 8 lady living at Pauls
Valley had secured a writ Of man
damus TO compel the Dawes com
mission to enroll her as a citizen
of the Chickasaw nation. The
lady is Mrs. g. w. Kimberlin of
Pauls Valley. She was an appll-
cant for enrolment as citizen Of
the Chickasaw nation and was re-
fused by the Dawes commission at
the instance and on account of the
objection of the Chickasaw COM
mission with the Dawes commits
sion, who set mp the claim that she
was not entitled to citizenship,
not being 3 Chickasaw by blood.
intermarriage or adoption.
TIE case has been set for a hear
ing before Judge Townsend at
Pauis Valley ON the 18th, when
Judge Townsend will pass upon
the rights of the Dawes commission
to reject applicants for enrolment
as members Of any tribe who claim
rights under the law as defined by
the courts, without hearing all the
evidence presented.
This case presents some novel,
not to say anomalous features.
The Dawes commission is q Great
ure Of congress, answerable to
congress for its work. and not to
any Of the Territory courts, whose
jurisdiction, like all United States
courts. is necessarily a limited one.
Besides which. IN admitting or re-
fusing an applicant for enrolment
as q member of one of the Indian
tribes, the Dawes commission ex-
ercises a judicial function, depend,
ing (supposedly) upon learning,
conscience and discretion. and
these elements, it would seem, can
not be controlled by mandamus.-
Denison Herald. r
If mandamus suit can not be en-
tertained by the federal court,
what appeal, has the claimant who
is rejected by the Dawes commits
sioni Is there monet 1t does look
like a claimant ought to have some
way to get into court-to appeal
from the action of the commission
to a court where all the facts and
evidence can be heard. The AkD-
MoREITE doesn't claim that any Of
these rejected claimants are en-
titled to enrolment, but it does in
sist they should have the right of
appeal and hearing in court. It
is not right to. arbitrarily throw
them out. Fairness and justice
should prevail in this as in all other
questions affecting great property
rights.

THE man who thinks himself of
so much Importance and would be
missed so greatly were he to die,
should stick his finger in bucket

as the hole left in the water, and
his departure from this life will
leave just such a vacancy. These
