WORKED THE HAWK-EYES
The Collection Was Not
Omitted at Waterloo,

The "Rev. Felix Mayes, VINO
our people know by (bad) reputa-
tion only, who palms himself off
in the states as chief of the Chero-
KEGS, and styles himself "Big|
Horn" has, as stated few days
since, been "doing" Waterloo,
Iowa. The Daily Courier of that
city has the following write-up'of
the bogus reverend"
Except as we cite some par
ticular case we cannot say good
ness is too prevalent in our land
and in our day. One case which
might lead to this conclusion,
however, was the reception and
treatment of one of the biggest
fakes which ever invaded our COM
munity-"Rev. FelixMayes, ,or Big
Horn, Chief of the Cherokees,
who came to town a week ago
Saturday and spent couple Of
days in preaching and replenish-
ing his depleted Golfers"
The Courier then prints The
Chieftain's notice of the "reveren-
ed" of the 10th inst, and also
letter from the Office in reply to
inquiry, closing its article with the
following particulars of Mayes
transactions at Waterloo:
"Chief Big Horn came to Water
loo on the morning of February
4th. He had with him cred dentials
printed on sheep skin stating that
he was an ordained minister, the
signatures thereto seeming to be
genuine. He was at once engaged
to address the Y. M. G. A. meeting
at the armory Sunday afternoon
and SO pleased the audience that
he was invited to speak at the
Walnut Street Baptist church in
the evening. The building never
held a larger audience and the
chief was pronounced one of
the most logical and eloquent red
men who ever saw the smoky in
terror of a wigwam. Anoth er
meeting was announced tor the
following evening. Again the
room was packed and the chief
talked for an hour on "Who is
You? Whah'd You Come From?
Whah,s You Gwine? Now his
hearers have turned the question
upon the departed chiet and echo
answers who? Where?'
Another meeting was given out
for Tuesday evening Of last week,
but on that day the chief departed
with the cash collections from the
meetings, saying he couldn't stay
any longer and was needed at St.
Paul. While here the chief
stated that he had had hard luck
at Des Moines when 81 1900 was
stolen from his trunk. This with
several other statements made by
him, together with a display he
made in emptying dark brown
flask at his hotel just like bad
Indian would have done, led to an
inquiry which brought to us the
foxegoing information.
1t is but natural thing that the
man should have been received in
this manner. The spirit of charity |
and brotherly love is character
istic of the church and this fact is
taken advantage of in many
instances. The man who passed
himself as Chief Big Horn has
some negro blood in his veins as
his speech and features indicate,
but when local pastor referred to
the matter he seemed greatly
incensed.
He is surely smoothe fakir."

Recent letters from Washington
do not convey flattering word as to
the prospects of the ratification of
the Cherokee treaty. The infor-
nation is that the railroads are
opposing it, as are also those in
terested in mineral leases in the
Cherokee country. Dave Musk
rat, Daniel Gritts and John Henry
Dick, chaperoned by Dick Ad-
ans, are in Washington fighting
the treaty and claiming to repre-
sent the fullbloods. The situation
al Washington is similar to what
it was in the Cherokee nation prior
to the election namely: the ene-
mics OF the Cherokees are seeking
to. defeat the treaty, and for pur-
poses not patriotic. If the treaty
should be defeated it will be bad
for the Cherokees and they will
doubles know who to chargeit up
to, both at home and abroad. The
Curtis bill will be the law and an
attempt will no doubt be made
to enforce it, but the chances are
good for defeating It in the courts,
but in the meantime the citizens
Of The Cherokee nation will not get
tilles 70 their homes,

: The indications are that the
Cherokee treaty will have a close
shave if it passes congress. There
is no question but what the treaty
is understood perfectly in Wash
ington. All its weaknesses and
shortcomings are laid bare before
congress, and the calcium light OF
craftsmanship has revealed to the
public gaze every scar and wrinkle
OF that remarkable document. But
over against all this stands the
patent fact that the Cherokees
when asked to express their opin-
ion of it stood up almost enmasse
in favor of it. The logical conclu-
sion is that congress does not be.
lieve the Cherokees capable Of
choosing for themselves. If Wash
ington was at all posted as to the
true situation here in the Cherokee
nation it would know that the
Cherokees would rather have "half
a loaf than no Bread" and have
jumped at the opportunity of a
final settlement and a chance to
own in fee simple the ground upon
which their homes are built.

OLIVES.

Ghe olive is one of the oldest-kn0wn fruits. It is noted by Pliny and is Ire quently mentioned in the Bible. where it forms the basis of many parables and figures of speech.
 In Grecian mythology the olive tree occupies an important place and today the olive branch is the world sym bcR for peace, says the Scientific Amer iean. The olive tree itself is rather melancholy in appearance, but the eye soon becomes accustomed to the tone which the olive trees gives to the land scape. and in nearly all of the Medter- rapean countries they are found almost everywhere.
 The kernel of the olive requires about two years to germinate natural ly, but 1T is found by mixing clay and other ingredients natures processes can be hastened so that it will ger minate and large olive tree near Nice is believed to be l. GOO years old and is said to have yielded 300 pounds Of oil in single year.
 In general the olive will flourish wherever the vines can be cultivated for wine-growng purposes. 1t will not bear a temperature below 2t or g degrees Fahrenheit, and in Europe it cannot be grown above 46 degrees lati- tude. The young plants and fruit are very delicate. but the tree itself is quite tough. Naturally, in Italy, where the olive forms one of the principal agricultural products and contributes so largely to the wealth of the coun- try the trees are cultivated with the greatest ears.

WATCHES IN THE pAwNsHops.

in Distress.
 Most people suppose, said a down town pawnbroker, the other evening, according to the Baltimore News. tbat when a man goes broke the firat thing he thinks of pawning is his dress suit, but that's not so. While there might he some that do this. they ara few and far between. By long odds. the great majority of those in distress first put lip their watches In a big city like this. with clocks on every hand. a watch is almost an unneces- safy luxury on the street, and so this is the first article pawned Watches are, 90 to speak. a drug in the pawn shop, We get SO many of them that We often wonder where they come from. 4ou might think that We never would have occasion to lend money on wedding rings but you would be wrong, for we have several of them now \ woman must he in distress te pledge her wedding ring, and yet II is often done. We have engagement rings. too but not 50 many in nun ber as wedding rings. Sometimes men pawn engagement rings We simply take that as sign that they have broken an engagement but when 3 woman comes to us with one Of them We know she needs money. I've made quite study of pawnshops, contiu ued the broker, and I ind that in the majority of cases the dress of the per son asking for loan on some article has great deal to do with the amount received. If the pawnbroker sees 9 well-dressed person in front of him h. will naturally argue that he or she ia a little short of funds for the time be ing, but will return and take the article out of pledge in a few days. If. on the contrary. the person asking a loan ba poorly dressed, there is little chance that he or she will get fair amount on it. In the latter case the pawn broker usually offers only what he thinks the article will bring at priyats or public sale. with the amount Of hla interest deducted.

 One tidy little refrigerator about six feet wide and twice that depth Is the butterman's stall in this market under the sea. writes Helen (. Candee, in an exchange Little tubs of butter are arranged on shelves to the amount of 5,000 pounds. and in company with these are 10000 eggs. Twenty five hun dred quarts of milk and cream are stored in a separate room. all having been sterilized. This market has room especially for salt meats. and here are hams bacon and tongues tn the amount of 4.00o pounds. There are some articles of food without which the epicure would be unhappy. amt which must be alive when cooked Chief among these are oysters. ofwhicA l6,000 are carried to meet the wants of the passengers Clans are only pro Ylded 10 the number of 800 I4obsters are not abundantly supplied, 700 pounds is all the storeroom shelters. This market in the bottom of the ship contains, besides the things mentioned. fruits, green vegetables and an en- oFmous stock of groceries The latter IS only limited by space. for groceries are not perishabe goods aud will keen rom one voyage until another until nsed. Tea and coffee are used in large amonnts-a about thirty-three pounds day of tea and fifty pounds Of coffee. Perishable supplies are taken on board in proportion to the number of passen- gers booked, and anything of this kind which is left over when the ship reaches port is eaten by the crew.
 Away down in the bottom Of the ship the chief steward has a market of his own, one which he has stocked and from which he draws. thus serving in the double capacity of merchant and customer. Here is an enormous re- frigerator. and is presided over by steward who is responsible for every pound of meat within it. Before the ship slips from the dock this room is stocked, for full ship with 10000 pounds of beef 1000 pounds Of veal and 5000 pounds of mutton. From hooks along the walls and ceiling of another refrigerator hang punches of birds, very much as dried corn and peppers hang from the rafters Of old farmhonses. As many chickens as can be. tied together are hung until 4,000 pounds are slowed away. Ducks are aot as popular as chickens. therefore FOO pounds only are provided d-about 100 pounds allowance for each day. Turkeys are liked. and 1000 pounds must be provided for the demands of the cook Pigeons. sQuabs and other small birds. these are reckoned in pieces. and it is calculated that the family which floats across the ocean will deYour 500 birds.

Some like solitude amid fine scenery: others prefer to De alone in a crowd. or else desire complete change from their accustomed surroundings. like q sailor who stipulated that his bride should take him well out of sight of the sea. But the most ideally perfect honeymoon, according to sentiment talist, is when two lovers have been parted, and "after long grief and pain" they meet once more, not to be disit- lusioned, as sometimes happens, but to find the love of former days more than renew Their we' ng follows swiftly on the happy meeting. and they go off with the glamor of it still in their hearts. 10 some place Of sunny weather and perfect beauty.
