The Grip.
A Composition.

This is said to be disease that
the Car of Russia invented some
gears ago to punish the Nihilists,
and was brought to this Country in
the bones of some of his punished
subjects. 1t has been more or less
fashionable in this Country ever
since, and people up to last year
who were sick and didn't know what
was the matter said they had the
grip. Fashionable people called it
the La Grippe until they took it
themselves and then they diden't
care what they called it. 1t hardly
ever kills its victims in fair fight
but many of them commit suicide
after they get we'll to keep from TAX
ing it again. There is a variety oil
opinions about the symptoms of the
disease among doctors aud other
people who haven't had it good
but find man who has had it good

AT first you feel like you had beer

There are five Indian nations living
in Indian Territory the Choctaw,
Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek and
Seminole. All are civilized, and
about ten per cent. of them are full
blooded Indians. There is United
States school for each nation, where
the young people are boarded and ed
ucated free OF charge, and to which
the Indians are compelled to send
their children.
The girls and young women are not
unkempt and blanketed squaws, as
were their grandmothers, but are well
dressed, fine appearing, and in many
instances fine looking. 1t is frequent
ly difficult to distinguished them from
white girls.
Every man who marries one Of
these young women is adopted into
the tribe and given his share OF the
annuity funds and large tract OF
good land. Because Of this great
numbers OF white men have married
into these nations, and it is largely
through their instrumentality that the
Territory is being opened to settlement

New riders of the bicycle should
look ont for the bicycle spread foot :"
Constant pushing on the pedals is re-
sponsible for th6widening OF the feet,
which is just beginning to be noticed
on riders who have been pedalling
constantly Tor years. Chiropodists
are very much interested, for the obi
cycle spread foot Is accompanied by
troubles that are their gains. But tho
shoemaker is sorry, for the widening
OF the feet has meant for him tho pat
ting of more leather in the shoes,
while prices have not risen according
j.. A prominent local shoe dealer
said yesterday that shoes were being
made larger than ever for wearers OF
all ages, and he firmly believed that
the bicycle was to blame. Narrow
feet of women are becoming the ex-
ceptions, aud the owners OF those ex-
ceptions are invariably found to be
non-riders. The question has been
discussed among physicians in town,
who say that once set in the spread
the foot cannot be coaxed back to its
normal shape. The condition that IS
the resnltof constant pedalling, which
involves push with the foot at each
turn of the pedal, is the Same as fol-
lows with a woman who constantly
runs sewing machine, A proven
tive that has been suggested is the
wearing Of tight shoes on the wheel.
While they may pinch in some cases,
it is claimed they will help to keep
the foot in something like its proper
shape. Philadelphia Record.

Never Tells a Bride "io obey"

tits well known in Chicago that DR..
Hiram w. Thomas, when performing
the marriage ceremony, never includes
the word "obey" in the formula, so a
friend of his jokingiy asked him the
other day if, when his marriage with
Miss Varnum is consunmated, he in
tends to promise to ''obey'' her.
DIR. Thomas smiled. and with NO
hesitation replied: "You know that
i have never employed that word in
my marriage ceremonies. | do not
ask the woman to obey her husband,
but ask that each love, cherish end
honor the other. / doNot know what
the old pastor in Franklinville, where
we are to be married, will say to us.
Whatever it may be we viii answer as
we deem right and act as we please
afterward."

DIFFICULT WAY TO GET A MEAL.
How = New Guinea Cockatoo Uses Its
Nut-Cracker BIZ.

Nut-Cracker Bill.
There is wonderful cockatoo in
one of the islands OF the Indian
Ocean, near New Guinea. 1t is rs
large as full-grown pheasant, and it
is of jet black color. The bird is
remarkable for its immensely strong
bill and the clever manner IN which it
is used. The bill is as hard IS stee4,
and the upper part has deep notch
in it.
Now, the favorite food of this cocka.
too is the kernel of the canary nus;
but there is wonderful ingenuity re-
CURED to get at it, for the nut is some.
thing like Brazil nut, but it is ten
times as hard In fact, it require:
the blow of a heavy hammer to crack
it. It is quite smooth and somewhat
triangular in shape.
The cockatoo might throw the nut
down, but it would not break, or il
might hold it in its claws like the par.
rots usually do with their food, aud at.
tempt to crush it; but the smootlness
of the nut would cause it to fly out 81
the beak. Nature appears 10 have
given the possessor of the wonderful
bill some intelligence 10 direct its
powers, for the cockatoo takes one Of
the nuts edgewise in its bill aud by a
carving motion of its sharp lower beak
makes small notch on it. This done.
the bird takes hold of the nat with
its claws and biting of piece of leaf
retains it in the deep notch of the up
per part of the bill. Then the nut Is
seized between the upper and lower
parts of the bill and is prevented Slip
ping by the peculiar texture of the
leaf. A sharp nip or two in the
notch breaks off Tiny piece OF the
shell of the nut. The bird then seiaes
the nut in it's claws and polles the long
sharp point of its bill into the hole and
picks out the kernel bit by bit.
The ccckatoo las very long
tongue, which collects each morsel "a
it is broken of by the bill.
This is a wonderful process. for it
is quite clear that without the leaf
nothing could be done, and il proves
how certain structures in birds are
made to destroy certain parts Of plants.

that when in after days he was asked
his name, and kept saying What,
amusing scenes would follow. which
was likely enough, especially II the
boy was careful to pronounce the as
pirate. Such a scene did, l believe,
occur once when he went to school,
and was told, as a newcomer. to stand
up and furnish certain particulars.
What is your manner" asked the
teacher. What" blurted out the boy
amid the laughter Of the class. What
Is your name?" asked the master
again, with more emphasis. What
replied the boy. "Your name, sir!'

fed urchin. The sequel l forget, but
