WOMEN POLICEMEN.
Queer Occupation of n Crowd OF
Withered Danes in the Eng
liah Capital

London has many queer things in the
huge extent of its area, but mons
queerer than its women guardians of
the streets, for London, unknown to
most of its inhabitants, has police
force the like Of which does not exist
in any other city on earth.
In order to see it work you must get
up very early on Friday morning and
visit Covent Garden market. There
you will see such block of traffic and
such a crowd Of angry and unreason-
able drivers that you win not be sur
prised at the metropolitan police Civ
ing up the duty of keeping order as an
impossible job. But still you will find
that things come right in the end, and
on looking TO find how this Is brought
about you viii probably be shocked at
discovering that Covent garden has a
police force all to itself in the shape
Of some hundred or so Of old women.
They dart In and out among the cars,
order the drivers TO stop, or back their
horses, OF. move on. They shout and
swear and shake thelf hsts and catch
the horses heads, and. II necessary, shy
turnips or potatoes nt the drivers. But
they always succeed in having their
own way. But for these women 1t is
believed that II would be necessary TO
read the riot act every Saturday morn
ing in Coyent garden. As II is, the
women police make = comfortable liv-
ing out Of their profession, the drivers
giving them daily tips. while the pro
prietors pay them a fair salary.

TRIALS OF A sUBURBANITE.
How an Obedient Husband Executed
Commission for His Wife
Under Difficulties.

Mr.. and Mrs. K were out of town
for the summer-that is, Mrs. x was
out of town, while Mr.. x divided his
time, the city, trolley cars and the sub
urban hotel in which his wife was dom
ieiled, all claiming a part of it. Life to
Mr.. X was not rosy dream of bliss,
for he was warm while in the city,
crowded in the cars and eaten by mos
quitoes at night; besides all this he
always had parcel of some sort to
carry, though it had never been greater
than nut cake, put up nicely in box
and intended for the delectation of the
particular hotel card clique Of which
Mrs. x is member One day, how
ever, as Mrs. x bade her liege lord
good-by on the hotel steps, she intrust-
ed him with delicate mission, namely,
to bring out that evening a new tulle
hat which she had just had made to
wear at garden party.
"If you forget it," said Mrs. x.
solemnly, 'life will be one great desert
of Sahara to you for weeks, for | won't
be able to 60 to the smartest event of
the season."
"1f 1 forget it, responded Mr.. x,
"may my right hand forget its cum
ming" Then he took down the address
and raced madly down the walk to catch
the restiye trolley.
That afternoon he forgot the hat un
til he was fairly on the car ready to
go home, but the desert of Sahara loom
ing black OF yellow before him, he
jumped hastily off and proceeded to
hunt up the artist in headwear. The
chapeau was ready for him in what he
thought was an unnecessarily large
box, but when he turned to leave with
it the face of the saeswoman clouded
bit.
MADAM has not an account here; ten
dollars is the price," she hinted, deli
cately.
II thought she had paid for it" said
Mr.. x, blushing furiously, as he
thrust his hand into one pocket after
another only to discover that his cash |
on hand was $780,
Then he looked the situation in the
face grimly. He was totally unknown
to the milliner, all his friends were out
of town, gone out on the car that should |
have carried him, in fact, and the banks
were closed. He glanced at the floor for
inspiration and caught the CLEAN of his
watch chain.
Il will be back in just one moment"
he said, debonairely, to the saleswoman,
and disappeared from view. When he
came back he had the money, but no
watch.
Mrs. K was delighted with the eff
feet of her hat that afternoon, and, not
being gifted with second sight, no Vi
sions of pawnshops arose to disturb her
pleasure in it, but Mr.. x was in
very bad humor for at least three days
after the episode.-Baltimor News.

II does seem that the national
council, in the light Of past expert
ence ought to be able TO provide
for an agreement with the Dawes
commission that would mean an
equal division of the tribal estate,
and one that would at least COM
mand respect enough at Washing
ton to be accepted by the sub-com-
mittee and be introduced for rati-
fcation or rejection. The resub-
mission Of the old treaty would
only show that the Cherokee coun-
Gil is controlled by combination of
knaves ane asses. 1t is not very
creditable to the intelligence of
members that they recorded their
vote in favor of the treaty. One
class of members voted for the
treaty for the reason that il means
delay, and the other class voted
for it because they did not know
any better. An agreement that
means fair division, and one that
is stripped Of political drapery
would be acceptable, and council
is expected to provide such a
treaty. 1t is about time to stop
the kind Of "horse play" INDUCED
in by the national council at Tah-
lequah.

Before allotment of land in the
Cherokee nation can proceed un-
der the provisions Of the Curtis
bill, 157 600 acres must be set
aside for the Delawares, and be-
fore this land can be surveyed and
set aside, the Delawares must win
their case in the supreme court Of
the United States.
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1899-11-25

The bill extending the time for
the ratification of the Cherokee
agreement by congress until July
l, 1900, was defeated in the lower
house of council this morning by
a vote of % to Is. We believe
that this action on the part of the
council forever sets at rest any at
tempt of the treaty workers to re-
vive the document. The Arrow
was with the majority of the pres
ent council and we believe with
the people generally. But, on the
other hand we realize that some-
thing must be done at an early
date and those who rejoice in their
victory 10 defeating the bill must
remember that the people are anx-
ious to have this vast estate set
tied. The present council was
elected by the progressive element
Of the Cherokee people and they
expect a settlement of affairs.
The arrow is with them as long
AZ they are right and no longer

The esteemed Alton Climax
takes the Chieftain to task for
criticising j George Wright for
issuing permits to hunters in the
Indian Territory. The Climax is
in error when il assumes that this
paper would not criticise one in
dividual as well as another. When
the Chieftain commended the in
spector for enforcing the revenue
law it was in line with the policy
throughout its existence to favor
the enforcement of all law, and
its position has been sustained by
the courts Of the country and the
departments at Washington. The
revenue laws of the Cherokee ma
tion are not dead as has been fully
demonstrated and the question is
no longer an open one. But in
the case of issuing permits to hun
ters, our position is that the agent
has not the authority to permit
men to violate the law, and we
know of no act of congress that
grants him the right to suspend
the laws in force in the Indian
country for the accommodation of
hunting parties who persist in kill
ing and shipping game from the
territory.

Got What He Called For.

The barroom Of a we'll known hotel
was crowded with the thirsty the other
evening, and the overworked servers Of
mixed drinks were beginning to grow
a bit testy, when the door swung open
and In walked one Of those hardtacks
who grow fat on bad whisky.
IT want drink Of the pizenest liquor
in the lace" he said.
The bartender, weary from the con-
coction Of hundreds Of high balls and
rickeys, languidly reached under the
counter, and, drawing out q bottle of
alcohol, ammonia and salt, used for
cleaning copper work, set it before the
human sponge, who poured himself
liberal drink and gulped down the
nauseous stuff. His eyes bulged and a
half suppressed sputter escaped from
his lips, but he was game through and
through.
Thanks" he said, as he paid his
check. 81 always did like this hotel.
You get here exactly what you call
for"
And he escaped by the side door, still

Pnid Ii In Hurry
Some years ago woman was re-
turning late at night from a social
function down ut the lower end OF the
Old Colony railroad She took to the
track as the shortest way home, but IN
crossing small trestle above the coun-
trv road she made misstep and IN
falling broke her neck. The next Gay
her husband called on the super1n-
tendent. and while not appearing to be
very deeply grieved over his loss, YET
he felt that he was entitled to some
compensation for the untimely ending
of his wife.
.She was trespassing," replied the
superintendent, which relieves the
company from all responsibility"

As She Viewed 1t.

The man was nearly out Of breath.
When he could speak he said to the
wondering woman:
II have just saved your husband
from a watGry grave. He threw him
self into the river and at the risk Of
my own life I jumped in and saved
him"
WELL" she said, as she resumed her
Ironing, 81 always feared that you'd
try to be revenged for being refused

dreamed that your hate would lead
you to do such thing as this"

DON'T Re Angry.

1t doesn't pay to get angry. Anger
uses up the nerve forces Of the body.
So does worry; so does hate. A bad
temper wears you out. 1t makes you
needless enemies. 1t spells your looks.
A man with bad temper had better
tie stone around his neck and throw
1t into lake. If he doesn't, it is liable
to drag hlm-but we won't speculate
