last Of the Stuarts, but all the same we
know that for the most part the last
OF them were pretty bad lot, and
that for all practical purposes the reign
( of the Guelphs has been fraught with
the greatest blessings to civil and re-
ligious freedom, and to the commercial
prosperity of the country.
- Recently, however, a number of
"cranks'' have arisen and formed what
they call ''the Legitimist Jacobite
league" the members of which make Sc
ditious speeches on certain occasions,
as, for example, on the anniversary of
the death Of Charles l., which in almost
any country utfree Britain would land
them in prison. They declare that
Queen Victoria has no good title to the
throne; that there are at least 600 per-
sons with better; and they do homage
to an obscure Bavarian princess, whom
they designate "Queen Mary III. and
w. of Scotland and England" All this
is very amusing to the average subject
of her majesty.
One of the most crazy of the Jacobite
leaguers in Scotland, says the Chicago
Record, is Theodore Napier. Curiously
enough, he does not happen to be high
lander, and was not even born in Scot
land, hailing from one of the Australia
colonies; but summer and winter he
wears full highland dress of the Mont
rose period. When he marches along
thestreets Of Edinburgh with his Jacob
lite nose in the air, everybody turns to
look at him, which he regards as a
great compliment. Though in private
he is the most mild-mannered and gen
tie of elderly gentlemen, when he is on
the Jacobite war path he makes speeches
strike terror to the heart of the present
"usurping Hanoverian danasty."

Samuel Merrill, of Iowa, passed away
at his home here at the age of % years.
About year ago Gov. Merrill suffered
stroke of paralysis and but little hopes
OF his recovery were entertained.
Samuel Merrill was born in Turner, Me-,
Aug. Z, 1922. At the age of 16 he moved
with his parents to Buxton, where he at
tended and taught schoyI until he was q.
He went south whel young, but was
compelled to return north because of his
abolition proclivities. He settled in New
Hampshire and engaged in mercantile
pursuits. In 1854 he was elected to the
New Hampshire legislature, serving two
terms. In 1856 he came west and settled
at McGregor, Ia. In 1860 he was elected
to the Iowa legislature. In 1852 he was
commissioned colonel in the Twenty
First Iowa volunteer infantry. At the
battle of Black River Bridge he was Sc
verely wounded and his military career
was brought to a close. In 1867 and again
in 1869 he was elected governor of Iowa.
He was twice married, first to Miss Cath

The weather-beaten building, which

John Brown house," is about one mile
from the First Congregational church,
which rs also historical, inasmuchi as
young Brown and his parents attended

Brown emigrated with his family to
Hudson, O. &G
The house was built in 1884, and is in
better state of preservation than
would be supposed. In summer, and
when the roads are in good condition,
the birthplace of John Brown is often
visited by the summer residents of
Litchfeld county. There seems sort
of irony of fate in the fact that the
house is rented to and occupied by col
orde people, the race that Brown loved,
and for which he laid down his life.
Now the place is overrun by dogs and
very dirty and unkempt children, and
the doors are not opened nor the in

ANERROR CORRECTED y .']l1 D,
There Are Many Charming Girls in
Indian Territory.
They Don't Wear blankets, Nor Live
In Tepees, But Are We'll Dressed
and Dwell in Houses with
Modern C0nvenienccs.

Ihe Official announcement that the In
dian Territory will be thrown open to
white settlement has caused a flood of
'dians who live in the territory. Most
people are under the impression that
they wear blankets and live in tepees.
Inc Indians, says the Chicago Times
Herald, are as much civilized and most
OF them as we'll educated as the upper
class of citizens of the larger eastern
cities. There are five nations-Choc-
taw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek and
Seminole. About ten per cent. of the
tive tribes are full bloods, while the re-
malnder are quarter, sixteenth and thir-
ty-second blood. The young men are
most all highly educated, as well as the
girls. Each nation has a school where
these young people are educated and
boarded free. The school issnaintained
by the United States and all the higher
branches are taught The Indians are
compelled to send their children to
these schools. Perhaps the most in
teresting characters of the Indian ma.
ton to-day are the girls and young wom-
en-. A too general impression regard
ing the Indian girl of to-day is that she
is an unkempt, corresponding crea-
ture, with none of the refinement char
acteristic Of the white woman and
general tendency toward degradation.
1t has seemed to be almost impossible
to divorce the Indian girl from the idea
obtained through the story book squaws
OF other days or the impression given
by the besotted Indian women one sees
lounging about the stations of Arizona
and New Mexico. It is true that ma
Jority of the Indians have black hair
and eyes, but it is equally correct to say
that there are many perfect blends
among them, with rose leaf complex

Don,t Like Photographers.

1t is interesting to know that there
are some people who very strongly OBJ
ject to being photographed. The late
Empress of Austria was one OF these,
and for many years before her death
eluded the vigilance of all photogra-
pliers. The dislike of the late Empress
Elizabeth to the camera is shared by
ex-Empress Eugene, who has not been
photographed for 80 years. Three
decades have passed since John Ruskin
was photographed, and onlysonce has
John Hare allowed himself to be thus
victimized; this was after a perform
ance at Balmoral and by the express de-
sire of Queen Victoria Miss Marie
Corelli is one of the very few people
who have never sat to the camera.

ions that many city-bred women would
envy.
Again, the complexion of the Indian
brunette is not muddy, but as clear and
delicate as one would expect in a wom-
an who had led the ordinary life of civ
ilization. AS a matter of fact, these In
dian girls of the five tribes would be at
home in any drawing-room, as witness
this picture of Miss Susie McClelland,
a sixteenth Cherokee. They have been
educated into it by the college teachers
among them. 1t is very difficult to dis
tinguish the Indian girls of the terri
tory from white girls who live among
them. During the last quarter of a CEN
fury the number of white men who
have married girls belonging to the five
civilized tribes have been astonishing.
The advantages of marrying these girls
are many. The man who marries one is
at once adopted into the, tribe and is
given a large tract of fine land and his
share of the annuity funds, which in
some of the tribes amounts to $50 per
month. The white adopted citizens
have become power among the In
adians Of the territory, and it is largely
due to them, at least the more honest
ones, that the territory is being opened
to settlement. Not long ago one Of
these attractive Indian girls, for joke,
inserted an ad. in matrimonial paper,
and it was good paper or else the ;ad.
was very attractive one, because she
received $50 proposals of marriage.
The Indian girls have been trapped by;
fortune hunters so many times that
they are very suspicious of proposals
of marriage from white men whom
they have not known any length OF
time. To protect these girls from the.
clutches Of unprincipled men the in-a
terror department recently made rul-
ing that before white man could mar
ry into any of the five civilized tribes
he must present a certificate of good
character from the judge of the county
where he last resided. They want no
more criminals in the Indian race.

However, a few days after her incar-

to have full sway over her followers.
This gathering Of fanatics became so
large that the Mexican authorities be-

reached Chihuahua that they intended
starting a revolution against the Mex
lean government. A regiment of sol
diers was sent out from chihuahua to
disperse the fanatics. The troops went
to Sierra Mojada by train and then
marched overland to the border, dis
tanse of 100 miles. The religious fan
atics refused to obey the order to dis
perse and a conflict took place in which
six soldiers and 20 fanatics were killed.
Santa Teresa escaped across the river

excitement died out. She then returned
