KEEP LIQUOR OUT.

There is abundant reasons for
believing that an unusual effort
will be made in Congress this win
ter to enact law that will throw
the whole Indian country open to
the unrestricted sale ofintoxicating
LIQUOR. If the friends of temper
ance expect to defeat such legis-
lation now is the time to begin, for
the enemy has not neglected to
make use Of every opportunity,
and to avail themselves of every
argum ent that will have the least
tendency to convince congress that
the Indian Territory should have
prohibition removed. The evils
that would result from such an act
cannot be measured by the mir d
of man, or computed this side Of
eternity. The evil effects of such
legislation could not be compared
to that Of any state in the union,
and they are terrible enough any
where. The congress of the Uni
ted States would as well order the
army to march into the Indian
country and destroy the tullblood
with Krag Jorgensen bullets. The
havoc in that instance would end
with the taking Of the life OF the
victim, but in the other case the
suffering could not be measured.
1t will be sad day for the Indian
when his country is thrown open
to the sale of whiskey.

INVITED THEM IN.
Two Sides to This as to all
Other Questions.

Agent ]. Blair Shoenfelt address
ed the Creek council in session al
Okmulgee few days ago, and
among other things said:
Some of you complain that the
government at Washington has
not kept its treaties with you.
Let me say to you that it is the
right Of any nation to give notice
that treaty is abrogated; this is
recognized principle. Your ma
tion cannot be considered a fore
ign nation and any treaty entered
into is a law of the United States
and the government has right to
abrogate that treaty at any time,
it being a law of the United States
extending over you, and the gov
ernment has right to abrogate
that law if it is working an in
justice to you, and to provide
such new laws as may be nee
essary for the protection of all
the people.
When you are asked to conform
yourselves to the will of the con-
gress of the United States from
whom you derive your power, you
ask to be let alone; the government
thereupon says to you that you
agreed to keep your doors shut
that you would not pass laws in
your national council inviting non-
citizens to enter your country. |
ask you whether you have COM
piled with your compact? As be.
fore stated, you have invited non-
citizens to enter your country, and
now the government comes to your
relief and offers to protect you and
provide for you home as long as
you live, by enacting law which
declares that the lands heretofore
held in common shall be allotted
so as to give each allottee his
proportionate share outright, and
thus preventing the further en-
croachment of the white man and |
the intermarried citizen from i'm
posing upon him.

POOR BABY.
A Philadelphia Father Is hound to
Make IA Wonder of His Year
Old Infant.

There is physician in West Philadel-
phia who has a son one year old and
this baby is probably the strongest hui
man being for its age and weight in the
world. Its father will hold cane in
his two hands and the baby, grasping
it, will Draw itself up TO its chin three
times. That is but one of its numerous
feats of strength. The physician says
that his boys unusual muscular deyel-
opment is due to daily massage treat
ment. Every morning he lays the little
fellow, naked, on a blanket and kneads
his muscles for 80 minutes. Once a
month he weighs the baby and meas
ures its calves, chest, arms, etc. The
monthly increase of weight and girth
is remarkable. The baby has never had
shoes or stockings on its feet or hat
on its head, and in the summer it wears
only little sleeveless dress that comes
10 it's knees. 1t takes a cold bath every
morning.
IF nothing goes wrong" the physi-
clan often declares, this child will be
one Of the strongest men the world has
ever seen. He win never get bald, and
he will never lose a tooth. As for lis
muscles, with massage and a course Of
exercise that have laid out, they will
be big and supple all over his body. All
his fesh will be, when tense, as hard
as steel. and when relaxed as soft as the
flesh Of a young girl"

TWELVE OLD MEN.
Their Combined Ages Exceed
1000 Years.

Twelve men, whose combined ages
exceed 1000 years, live in one of the
suburban towns Of New York. They
form probably the most remarkable
coterie of old men in the world. They
have a club in which they meet fre-
quently and where young chap Of s5
meets with mild sort Of raillery on
account OF his extreme youth. The
quaint little community at Ozone park,
In Brooklyn borough, is the home of
this remarkable club. Within a radius
of quarter OF mile there live 12
men whose combined ages aggregate
more than 1000 years, while nearly a
score of others have lived to hale and
hearty, though extreme, old age.
Among them all not one is so feeble
that he cannot at least walk unaided,
and several Of them, though over four
score years of age, are still active in
business life. On any fair day one will
meet these old men at every turn, walk
ing with more or less steadiness about
the village streets or collected in
friendly groups around the steps of
the post Office. In the winter months
they visit great deal among them
selves.
The Oldest member of this little
group of old men is Mr. Crojohn, for
years prominent man of Long Island,
who is now 1037years old. There is no
member generally recognized by the
community to be one of this group VINO
is under so years Of age. One member,
Charles Tuttle, venerable, white
haired old gentleman of "a, has been
spoken of as the "kid' of the group.
There is besides good-natured rival
ry among some of these old gentlemen
which most people win scarcely com
prehend. They are as a rule very
proud of their old age and "spryness"
and boast among themselves of their
well-preserved faculties. One pic
turesque old fellow who is nearing his
ninetieth year, remarked to a reporter
recently: "Iou see a great many old
men about here who go stumbling
along with their backs bent nearly
double, but you would hardly call a
man old who walks as do; just watch
mel" And he stepped off with the
sprightliness and erectness of a man
40 years younger. Many of these old
gentlemen are engaged in active work
and hold their own very well with men
many years their juniors
One of the most remarkable of these
cases is Lewis C. Lockwood, a retired |
Presbyterian clergyman. Mr.. Lock-
wood still cultivates a small farm, and,
though nearing his ninetieth year, is
engaged in writing book. My book
helps to keep me out of mischief" he
explained to reporter, "and it will be
The best thing l have ever done. | am
very fond Of farming besides, and / can
still climb some of my trees. My hob
BY is to raise fruits, and when my trees
'Pme into bearing l find l can run like

a FINE SCHOOL EXHIBIT.
Display of Washington County at the
state Fair.

state Fair.
Atlanta, Oct 2l-The Washington coun-
~ school exhibit al the State Fair is by
far the most elaborate and varied of any
display ever made by any system of schools
in the state More than one thousand
square feet of wall space, with CORE
spending amount Of floor space, is covered
by the work of the pupils of the admirable
system of schools now being operated in
that county
Washington claims the honor of being
the first county in the Southern states TO
successfully introduce manual training in
the curriculum of her rural schools. The
many useful and ornamental articles mad =
by the pupils show thai this feature Of
schooi work has already passed the eXper-
mental stage, and whatever may be the
crit cisms or bsracles in the way of the
successful introduction of manual train
ing into the pub ic schools in other places,
Washington county has clearly demon
strated that such work is em.nently prac-
tical.
The schools of that county are as well
graded as the average city system of the
state. The pupils in sparsely settled COM
munities are hauled at the countys ex-
pense to the more densely populated sec
tions, thus increasing the number and eff
ficiency of teachers in each school. This
exhibit is indeed a revelation 10 all Geor-
gians as wall as visitors from other states
This success is due in a large measure to
the energy and perseverance of the able
school Commissioner, Hon. John NJ.

The second Nicholas evidently has some
of the characteristics of his famous auces-
tor for to-day he is pursuing the same
policy of doing the important things
easily perhaps, If possible-but doing It,
anyway. in spite OF any obstacle. Russia
can work wonders with Americas help.
She has discovered thar we can deliver
better material at a cheaper price months
before any of the European nations. There
in is Americas triumph. and yet what
has already been done is only a small
thing compared to what will come when
the ciVilizing forces of factories and mills
shall be spread through the newly opened
countries. Such an awakening no one dar-
ed dream OF few years ago. The first
railroad built in China was torn up ana
destroyed by he natives Now everything
is changed and progress is no longer i'm.
pcded Thousands of coolies work on the
railroads in China and Manchuria; 20O59
work in and about Port Arthur on the
forthcauons, while an army OF Cossacks
keeps guard. Commercial progress is the
order of the day. But few hundred
miles of the road remain to be built ana
100 miles are built every month. The work
goes on from many centers. coolies work
ing and Cossacks guarding all along the
line. American machinery is used every
