Popularity may be either tri-
butte to worth OF character, or it
may be an Indictment strong and
unmistakable Of time-serving du-
plicity, and uniaithfulness to any
body or any cause. The man who

those who stand for the false TO

for neither stands indicted before

Some Of the cattle men who owe
d great deal of delinquent tax TO
the Cherokee nation, are going
about the streets abusing Inspector
>. George Wright as the author Of
al their woes. This is certainly
short sighted and narrow course
for these people TO pursue. One
of our local COW men has now put
up for winter use on his ranch at
least S., 900 worth OF native prairie
grass upon which no revenue can
be collected, rs the royalty is only
on export. We have no quarrel

Ia an editorial in Saturdays
daily we suggested the propriety
OF leaving off the final rolls of
Cherokee citizens preparatory to
allotment the names Of all who,
themselves or their ancestors,
shared in the allotment of the old
Cherokee nation. 1t has been said
that this would work a great
injustice upon some Of our people.
We submit that if these people
have had their their shares of
Cherokee land once, that the in
justice would be to the other Che
rokees to allow them to again share
in the allotment. OF course the
national council erred in again adj
mitting them, but if it can be
shown BY the records that they
have already had their shares of
the common property of the tribe
that they ought not to be given
another share. The fairness of
this proposition oughtto commend
it to the Dawes commission and to
the government.

An Unnatural Father.

A rich farmer living :n the interior of New York has publicly announced that he will give $S0,0Oo to any man who will lead his daughter to the alter. This does not mean that the rstyoung man who prsents himself shall have the girl and the $50. 900. but is rather an incentive to young men to enter the contest. The success suitor will be one who shall gain the consent of the young lady and also the approval ofher father. No reason is given why this rich far mer should cast 8 reflection upon hIs daughter by offering sum of money as an inducement men to marry her. She is said to be about 30 years of age and fairly good looking. Being an only daughter and an only child of rich man the announcement that part of the fathers fortune would be given to the husband on the day of marriage implies some special reason why the $50.000 should be offered. Ordinarily a young lady so situated would not want for admirers. In inviting young men and man under 40 will be considered young-to come forward the father says: elf one of the candidatesis found to be acceptable would be pleased to have the wedding take place without any unnecessary delay. The $50 600 will be gwen to the bridegroom as 6 wedding present as soon as the cere- mony IS finished. ."-E1.

MANS WIFE SUES HIM FOR
WAGES.


 An extremely interesting case b as late. Iy been decided by the Indian supren 6 court, establishing 8 new principle re. garding the rights of g wife. A man in that state kept \ shoe store employed his wife as saleswoman and paid her weekly wages which sine saved and in. vested.
 When his business declined he bor- rowed and also failed to pay her wages Then he became bankrupt. Ills wife presented her claim as one of the cred itors, for the borrowed money and 8 years unpaid wages. In the old times the clam would have been thrown out at once The theory of the common law gave the wife no right against her hus. band. Her property was his. She could not testify for or against him in court in any case. civil or criminal. There could be no valid contract between the two for the payment of money.
 The situation has been greatly i'm. proved by statute and by the common sense decision of modern jurists. One of the last of the ancient disabilities ofthe wife is removed by the Indiana decision. Tho court holds that an agreement to pay wages for services of a domestic character would not stand. It would be against public policy that 8 man should-by promising to pay his wife for washing the dishes or for sew ing on his buttons-withold money from his ordinary creditors.
 But the wife was under no ot ligstions to become g saleswoman for her hus- band. He paid or rather did not pay another; and, therefore. his creditors were not injured by his employing her. Consequently her claim was good one and was allowed Youth g Companion.

It is calculated that not less than half million dollars north of imperishable iewelry is still buried in the ashes. and the strictest surveillance has to be constantly kept over the workmen.

 :. ..r [ :.rr |, .i.llsr husband and .h'' iw.. arc know in the army as ''ihe lovers." She was Miss Mary Sherman, c daughter of Judge Sherman of Cleve. land, and niece of ex-Secretary Sher- man, at whose home in Washington she first met her future husband.
 Since then she has visited with him almost every army post in the country, even those fxrthest from civilization. Sire says. "I could always find occu. patton for my mind and fingers in beautifying the interior of our bare quarters and making them homelike." She is skilled in domestic arts.
 Mrs. Miles joined her husband during the campaign in Porto Rico and accom-. psnies him wherever possible. During one of hls recent tours, she WAS inter viewed as to her opnion on various topics. including the'woman question. She is reported as saying: "1 am not 6 bicycle rider, but see no reason to disapprove of the wheel. approve of all that tends to make womand strong and healthy. As to the new woman,' socalled ifby that you mean the woman of masculine ways, can not say 1 ad. mire her. But that woman should go into business is perfectly right, partic- ularly in the profession of doctor and nurse two vacations for which women are especially fitted. A woman's hap piest sphere is Tn home of her own, and that is the sphere to which most are called. But I admire that woman who, being compelled heavily battles and makes 8 success of the fight. As to woman's capabilities for doing work as we'll as men, that will come from training. As yet, she has not had the schooling or experience which had been for centuries of civilization the portion of the men, Ifa woman owns property l see no reason why she should not vote"
 Mrs Miles is hne looking woman. with blue eyes and graceful figure and dresses in fauitiess taste. The Gener. al's daughter, Miss Celia Sherman Miles, assists her mother at social func. tions and is regarded as girl of unus- ual talent. In the spring and fall. she may often be seen in Washington rid ing beside her father on a spirited horse.
