chlckasaw chautauqua Circle.

In spite of the disagreable
weather, few faithful Chautau-
quans met Friday afternoon at the
presidents home
The reading in history from the
ascension of Henry Y TO the death
of Richard Il was begun promptly
at 2:30 p. m.
We followed the kings through
the Wars of Roses with great avid
ity, and at the final battle of Bos-
worth, in which the designing
Richard III fell, WE reluctantly
stopped.
The important events of the fif-
teenth century we're then discussed
for the table talk. Many perplex
ing questions arose, and diligent
search in the various reference
books would finally reward the
untiring efforts of the workers.
After many excellent quotations
from Shakespeare's Richard II and
Henry ". the president gave us a
general review OF The English his
tory from the beginning up to
where our lesson for the day
closed. The questions asked sharp
ened our mental faculties, refresh
ened our memories and helped to
make a more lasting impression of
the grounds over which we have
gone. This unusual feature in the
lesson was greatly enjoyed by all,
although it somehow took us back
to our school days, when our
teacher would very unexpectedly
spring review" on us, to our
great discomfort.
The next lesson will be in Eu-
glish literature, taking up the last
half of the first chapter of From
Chaucer to Tennyson." The table
talk will be about the fall of Con-
stantinople and its effect upon the
literature of the world. Quota
tions from Spenser.
The members who have the
Chautauquan magazines will please
bring the October and November
Numbers, also look up some of the
search questions contained therein.

New York, Nov. 26.-Spots were
quiet at Liverpool; sales, 5000; mar
ket unchanged. Futures irregular
and unchanged to led decline. in
view of unloading yesterday, cables
to-day were regarded as very satls-
factory. There was nothing impor-
tant in the Chronicle report for the
week, except the statement that
picking was nearly completed in
Texas, which is not believed to be
the case. Landauer, of Liverpool,
was cut with a review of the situa-
ton, which attracted great deal of
attention. He calls the crop II ,000,-
900 to 1850, 900 after an extensive
trip through the cotton states and
close observation. for eight or nine
weeks. The fact that New York and
Liverpool failed to give way in price
to any great extent, in view of the
big selling pressure yesterday, has
tended to intensity the bullish tenn
per. The market opened to 2 high
er and made further headway later
on, but the business was quite small.
Indications ware that the port re-
ceipts the coming week would show
no great change. while for the day
they were estimated at Sc, 900 against
81 900 last year. Members of the ex-
change have made average estimate
of 11.1OO 900 for the growing crop.
Spot cotton at New York steady at
lie advance, no sales. The market
was quite active toward the close,
when shorts fastened to cover, re-
sulting in to advance.

Indlan Pupils Called Home.

Muskogee, Nov. 26.-The Choc-
taw council has passed a bill in
structing the board of education af
the Choctaw nation to have all pu-
pils now at school in the states at
the expense of the nation returned
home by Jan. /. This was thought
advisable because, for the last few
years, as much money has been
spent on the education of a few
boys and girls in the states as for
the support Of the schools in the
nation. In the future all the
available school money will be
spent on the development of the
Choctaw school institutions.
