A FIFTH MUsKETEER

When Arthur Annersley ran away
from home and joined troupe OF
strolling players, he left only one sad
heart behind him, and that belonged to
little Nellie Fenton, the 15-year-old
daughter of Squire Fenton.
The girl and boy parted with many
kisses and many tears.

bravely, IL shall be rich and famous,
and Will claim you for my WIFE"
Arthur wrote continuously to Nellie
and received long letters in reply; and
once, when the troupe was performing
but few miles away, the girl escaped
from her fathers house and saw her
hero act.
That, in fact, was great night for
Arthur Annersley. With Nellie IN the
audience he felt inspired and played
as he had never played before. Now

The Delawares' Position.

Soopfs bLufF, 4. 4. Marcn 10.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-I notice an
article in The Daily of February
9th under the head of "The work
of an Enemy" that SO far as il re-
lstes to the Delawares, is unjust.
The article in question charges
the Delawares with attempting and
being willing to take that which
does not belong to them from their
fellow citizens, the Cherokees. This
is serious charge. 1t is a charge
that should not have been made
unless there was ample evidence
TO sustain it. What are the facts
and attending circumstances of the
case? The Delawares and Chero-
KEGS have differed about the extent
and import OF the purchase the
former made OF the lattcr-have
differently interpreted the agree
ment they made-have honestly
differed about it. But the Della.
wares have always accepted the
decisions of an impartial tribunal
without murmur. How has il
been with the Cherokees? It is O
matter of which We are proud that
the ceurts and interior department
have invariably sustained the Del
awares in their contention with
the Cherokees. We take it az a
complete refutation Of the assertion
that they have claimed what did
not belong to them. 1t is perhaps
idle 10 speculate about what the
courts will do in the future; but
there seems to be no reason to |
doubt that they will snstain the |
Delawsres in all substantial par.
ticulars. 49,
The Delawares wish the Chero-
KEGS no harm-they will stand
shoulder to shoulder with them in
everything they believe to be right;
but they will contend through eve
cry lawful channel-as they have
. right to do--for what they be-
lieve they purchased and paid for.

THE SCHOOL MATTER.
Material and Moral Support
for the Best.

The subject Of free schools in
Vinita is one that will bear dis
cussion. Many have little faith
In the usefulness of such institu-
tions on account of the worthless
ness of the average free school
both in the Cherokee nation and
in the states. We are sure that it
is possible to have public school
here that will meet the needs of
the community. The members of
the board without exception are in
favor of a liberal school tax, and of
expending enough money on the
schools to make them a success
from the start.
1t has been asserted that people,
will move into town from the coun-
try in order to get the benefit of
the schools. This is just what we
want them to do, and a good pub
lie school will certainly be an in
ducement, The class Of people
who are looking for schools are a
very desirable class of people and
generally good citizens.

ST. PATRICKS DAY.
The Anniversary of the Cru
cl6xion of the Savior.

To many people the fact has
probably never presented itself
that this, the 18th day Of March,
noted on the calendar as Saint
Patrick's Day, and faithfully cele-
brated by a large portion of our
countrymen with rejoicing and
festivities, might be moro appro-
priately observed were it solemn
lied as the one great memorial an
niversary. 1t was 1870 years
ago, on the 18th Of March, A. D.,
30, that Jesus Christ was crucifed.
According to Jewish chronology it
was the 14th Nissan, corresponding
to the l7th of March, and hence it
was the Goth, just at the vernal
Equinox, and last day of winter,
that the resurrection occurred. 1t
is fact worthy of note, that with
the vernal equinox of 1899, there
ends the long period spoken of by
the Savior as "the Times of the
Gentiles;" Luke XXI:24.
Now the question is asked, who
was st. Patrick for whom a day on
the calendar has been allotted?
That tradition has largely to do
with the beautiful story of his life
and virtues, and that romance has
clothed some good man of an un.
certain epoc, with the fragrance of
a spotless character, seems highly
probable. II we consult the. au-
thorities on credible Irish history,
we will be convinced that his fame
rests in the legendary lore Of the
Emerald Isle. But however un-
certain as to dates and deeds, it is
beyond dispute that grand and
noble soul hsl left the impress of
q righteous life and character, not
to Ireland only out to the world,
and that he Was bic ssed of God for
q mighty pn,pose. But what say
the chroniplers and Irish histor-
lans? Most that is T &c, rded of st.
Patrick, is taken from what is
termt1 his ''confessi ons" or auto
biography, and many writers have
used these, embellish ed by popu-
ar fireside traditions, with which
irish home folk lore is so richly
endowed. Killen in his Eccles-
'iastical History of Ireland, and
