Free Like Other Girls.

Surely a young girl is not ready to settle down m life. She thinks she is, bgt once she finds herself with the responsibility of home cares, the ne cessity, perhaps, of thinking careful ly before spending dime in orda to make it go as far as possible; the de- nial, if her husbands income be small, of many of the pleasures of life, and possibly the care of a child all of which sLe finds herself in duty bound to undertake, N hile other girls of her age are free to enjoy the few years of life in which the natural buoyancy of spirit makes one desire the freedom of life with almost no responsibility rather than the life iu which cares and burdens beyond ones years must he borne.
 Moreover. another grave question presents itself. It is not only that ones taste is likely to change great Is between the years of sixteel and twenty-five, and that the re- responsibilities and cares of married life may cause vain regrets, but the question of motherhood comes too, that responsibility arising with Che launching of a new life upon tht sea of destiny. No false modest> should prevent the open discussion of a qaestfo like this. Life has nc problem which should be studiee more intelligently.
 or fcour3e there ara exceptions tr every rule. One may point out a woman who was married whel young and whose children have beef as healthy as children born of peopl, who were married later in lie. Bu let Us suppose that florist sets ou many thousands of plants at tls same time of year during s vera years and that he finds the result which he obtains are v1ry muet more satisfactory that the result
 which follow in other years whp. a similar number of the same kina pf plants are set ont in auothe month, You would call hlm | most ut wise iiafise wouldspersist 1T

 mother should always be listened to in this matter by every young girl and it should be followed if she + being led on by anything less than the power of true love. There is bnt o fhing to do In such ease. Stop a,4a @Id stop on the brink O q pler rp. Consider as you wouiH conside f you held vast interests O any other kind at stake. Listen as you would listen to the advice Of q physician if you knew that you bodily health was in danger. And i you feel that you are not being infiu- enced by love then be wise in time and save your life from sorrow.
 Tastes Will Change and Judg-
 ment Grow.
 A girl at sixteen orseventeen years of age is not likely to know her mind in this matter. Th' person to whom she would be married at this age fs one whom, perhaps, she would not think of marrying a few years later She does not know enough of life to enable her to wi9elv choose a part ner at whose side she must walk un- til either death or sorrow separates them. It needs a maturer judgment than hers to know how to choose wisely where such interests are al stake. She is at aD age when, as yet. she has not been called upon to decide any of the important ques- tions of life, and why should she try now to decide this most important of all questions. A wrong decision here will bring effects which can nev- CT be undone. A wrong decision now will blast the brightest hDpes. Many a girl has lived to almost forget the person in whose keeping she once felt she could trust the dearest hopes of her life. Circumstances prevented tue marriage, the wisdom of years showed how unwise such union would have been, and now, the hap py and devoted V fife of a husband between whom and herself there is the bond of deepest love, she looks back and shudders at the thought 0 I how much less happy she might have been had she followed what to her immature judgment of years ago seemed to be a wise desire,
 It is surprising to see how greatly a persons taste in these matters will change between the ages of seven teen and twenty-five. The girl of twenty five will brit 2 to bear a ma turer judgment and more critical taste, and ill consider marriage in the llght { of such issues of life as will hardly occur to the girl of seventeen

TAHl,EQUAH LETTER.
Delegation Will be Appoint
ed Today

AhhAtiudhs a. beCs A. Aooos
The delegation will be nomi-
mated by the chief and confirmed
by the senate today or tomorrow
and the instructions passed by
council, and when that is done the
work of the extra session will be
completed. 1t is deemed unwise
to again open up the question Of
collecting the four million three
hundred thousand dollar claim.
An act has been passed provid.
ing for an investigation of the
crookedness in the auditors office
authorizing the principal chief to
appoint and commission two per-
sons, one of them an expert ac-
countant, who shall make a thor
ough examination of all books and
records Of the auditors office, show
ing in detail all transactions Of
said Office during the past six
years, and shall submit result Of
their findingto to the principal chief.
The commission is empowered to
send for such persons or papers as
may be necessary for the taking Of
testimony. to administer oaths and
to compel the attendance of wit
nesses. The chief is authorized to
take immediate possession of all
books, records and property of the
auditors office pending appoint
ment ofcommission. ARappropri-
ation Of $1,000 was made TO cover
the expenses Of the investigation.
A bill was passed and approved
today approprialing s265.7O, to
pay claim Of Joseph Robbins,
omitted from payment of strip
fund. The bill appropriating ST.
800 for paying attorneys, Hutch
ings and Hemphill, for services
rendered the nation and an addi-
tional sum Of $500, if necessary,
for court costs, printing fees, etc.,
necessitated, was passed today and
will be approved. This is the bill
that was turned down last year by
the commissioner Of Indian affairs,
on account OF the protest of the
Delawares. The secretary of the
interior has since overruled the
commissioner.

After Arter,s Diamonds.

L. G. Collins and wife have brought
suit against Mrs. J. II. Arter OF The
Cobb hotel to replevin a cluster dia-
mond ring valued at some three hun
dred dollars. The ring in question
was lost two years or more ago, and
the Arter ring is said to have been in
the family for several years. 1t is a
curious case, and is certainly case Of
mistaken identity on the part OF some
one. The suit was first brought in
Commissioner Don Carlos court and
set for trial on the 18th inst, and on
the day OF trial dismissed by the
plaintiff and suit entered in the Uni
ted States district court.

New Fraud Scheme.

Two or three weeks ago a we'll
dressed young man came to this
office for small bill of printing.
1t was contract much like a note
~ shape, in which the owners OF
accounts and notes agree to pay
the Southwestern Collecting Bu-
reau, OF Kansas City," ten cents
on each claim filed with it for col
lectiDg and so much commission
beside. The job was printed at
once, the fellow staying to see the
proof and getting six or eight
copies with which to continue his
work among the business men of
the city. The remainder of the
job is still here and the young
man is somewhere else, and vigor-
GUS enquiries at Kansas City fail
to develop either the company or
any one of the long string of Of
ficers. This is an entirely new
rhing, :he kernal of the thing be-
ing the ten cents given with each
account turned over for collection
and that closes the deal. Such
an idea is bound to find many
others to work it and the mer-
chants and business men who have
claims to collect would do well to
give them over to attorneys or
other well known people and risk
nothing on any foreign concern
until very good evidence is furn-
ished of the stability of the CON
Germ and its agents. The loss of
this office is bagatelle, but we
can readily see that great many
psople could be fleeced of consid-
erable sums by snch a plan and we
would advise that sharp lookout
be kept for justthis kind Of a fraud
to be proposed to them. Phoenix.

Sentence Reduced.

Joe Gibbs has had his fine re-
mitted and his sentence reduced
to a six months Jail sentence.
Now no one blames Joe, his rel
atives or their attorneys for having
penitentiary sentence reduced,
even if it occurred after the ad-
journment Of the term of court at
which sentence was passed, bat a
good many people are patiently
waiting to hear how and why it
was done. Has the trial Judge a
right to reduce a sentence after the
