Baltimore, Nd, Dec. 16.-The state
board of education will appeal to con-
gress to return to Maryland money said
to be due the state from the sale of pub
lie school lands in the old northwest
territory" As it was Maryland which
prevented the ratification of the ar
ticles of confederation until all the
states had relinquished their claims to
the northwestern territory, it is con-
tended, as a simple act of justice, that
she should be given her share of money
from the public school, lands. In the
early '20s resolutions on this line from
the general assembly of NTaryland were
submitted to congress.

JEFFERSON DAVIS HOME.
THE HOUSE WHICH HE BUILT AND
LIVED IN WHEN AN OFFICER,

AT Fort Gibson, Indian Territory.
II Of Uncle Sans deserted army
posts, stands Il two-stpry house. part
frame aud part log, that was "A time
the most pretentious residence in the
radius Of SEQ miles, but now stands
deserted 0y all save bats aud owls and
now and then Il stray hUot owl, whose
dismal and lonesome cry only brings
back long-toryotten memories of what
this house has been.
This house was built in 1913 nv
Jefferson Davis, cx- President of the
Southern Cunfelcracy, who at that
time an officer in the United States
army. 1t was here that Davis was in
the zenith Of his glory as "A defender
Of the United States flag. 1t was
here that Davis, when a lieutenant.
fell in love with. wUoed and won his
wife, the daughter Of Gen. Taylor. ="
The pest was IA wild and woody spot
in those days. 1t was the only trading
p"iul for miles around, and was in
tested with gamblers, despcradocs.
Indian traders. fugitives from Justice
in the States. with now and then
Il gang Of cowboys. who would come
IN u the post to get 'red.cye" and in
cldentally shoot up the town aud any
body who objected to them shooting
up the town. Here in the shadow nj.
most of the pnst have arisen and
thrivcd such despcradoes as the James
gang, the Dalton>, the Stars, Chero-
kee Bill, etc, who terrorizcd the coun-
try for so long until civilization and
the farmers cleaned them out.
The old house has seen many stir
ring time; it has sheltered many fair
women and brave men. aud if it had
a tongue it could doubtless tell many
State secrets, as well as many inter-
esting stories Of the early days in the
lhdlan TERRITORY. The post was de-
serted in 1892, and now only a few
buildings stand where there was once
a thriving post of several thousand
souls, and where the deer and turkey
used 20 roam on the broad prairie. al.
most in pistol shot of this house, are
neat and coy farm houses. surround
ed withpeacc and plenty. Such is the
passing of the wild and woody" days
in the Indian Territory.
