"I'll ask him tomorrow. Now, let
us go in, please; the air is quite chill

She kept her word. and the general
giving his consent, Edith came to us
on the following Thursday, and to all
appearance my wife and she got on
most cordially together, SO much so
that on the third or fourth day ven

shook her head.

like me, and she never will. It's OF
no use my trying to make her. Hush,
hush, here she comes! Don't let her
see you speaking to me, Paul. and
with a flurried, nervous movement that
I saw naturally attracted my wife's at
tention and even brought faint color
to her cheek, Edith turned from me
and affected to be deeply interested in
a book.
In the beginning of the following
week I was unexpectedly called away
from home on business connected with
Edith's trouble. Helen drove me to
the station, and suddenly, when the
train was on the point of starting, i'm
plored me to take her with me-not to

Coed Home Treatment.

A Texas judge at Dallas the
other day broke away from the
traditions of his state, and in
charging the grand jury used some
remarkable language. There is a
great deal of good sense in what
this Lone Star Judge has to say on
the subject Of carrying pistols, and
would be very applicable right
here in Vinita. Here is what was
said TO the Texas grand jury:
Don't stop at indicting few
small devils who carry pistols.
One indictment usually breaks
them up in business, but there are
wealthy men, prominent men, who
make a practice Of carrying pistols
and of openly boasting of old
Betsy's' sure aim. Get these
men. Teach them to understand
they are no better than others and |
make all respect the law. Men
who deliberately violate the law
and boast OF it, as some men do in
this regard, are no better than out.

ROGERS INTERVIEWED,

went home to Claremore on tb.

to Muskogee to cash some Chero.
kee warrants, as the agent is now
paying the Cherokee annuities.
The warrants held by John w.
stapler and son at Tahlequah, and
those held by Kansas City banks.
were being paid first. Assistant
Treasurer Robt. B. Ross went
down to assist in the payment but
there being no provision for re-
munerating him for his services he
returned home.
The school warrants, in nav.
ment for service OF teachers last
term, are not being paid. The
Cherokee school board increased
the number OF schools to such an
extent that the school fund is in
adequate to meet the increased ex-
pense, so none of such warrants
will be cashed at this time.
Mr.. Rogers says the filing on al |
lotments by the Creeks at Mus |
kogee is going on rapidly but with
considerable friction, two or more
persons frequently attempting to
file upon the same tract of land. |
There seems to be a good deal of
indefiniteness as to the location OF
claims, many being unable to ac.
curately describe and locate the
land upon which they desire TO
file.
Mr.. Rogers is of the opinion
that the agreement made by the
Cherokees last winter and ratified
at the polls, is not dead, and that
does not so regard il. 1t is
MS opinion that the Cherokees
should revive and amend it and
submit it again to congress next
winter for ratification.
