A sign-post at the forked road
OF Time stood grim and gray,
And to the post a traveller strobe,
In ooubt which was the way.
One road led up the stony hill,
The other road led down:
The downward road to Luckyville,
And up TO Hardshiptown.
T'ward Luckyville he set his face,-
Yet. even as he turned,
A traveller coming from that place
His hopeful eyes discerned.
He waited till the other came,
The sleeper road to take.
SIS Luckyville,'' he said. $50 tame,

.'Not so, the stranger quick replied,
AS up the hill he went.
That sign was wrong: I know, who'v,

Already I've been down,
And find the way to Luckyville
Is round through HardshiptoWn."

Of the best and most talented men

director of the National Bank at

tain because it insisted on the
Cherokee laws regarding revenue
on hay and cattle being enforced,
keeps notice standing that all
doctors in his bailiwick shall APP
pear before the Cherokee Medical
Board of which he 10 secretary
and comply with the Cherokee
law. This after having Hutchings
declare that our laws were abro-
gated. In other words when Cher
okee laws prevent competition in
the practice Of medicine, DIR. Fort
ner believes they are excellent and
should be strictly enforced. But
when they make bis friends pay
revenue on hay and cattle they be-
come null and void, and it is out
rageous for United States officials
to enforce collections. -Tahlequah

The Indian Chieftain, Of Vinita,
insisted that the cattle men Of the
Cherokee nation should pay the
tribal tax Of fifty cents per head on
their cattle. The directors of the
First National Bank Of Vinita met
and instituted a boycott against
The Chieftain because of it's posi-
ton on the cattle tax, a large
number ofthe stockholders of the
bank being cattlemen. The Chief
tain is making things warm for the
bankers, who are attempting to
coerce the paper into support Of
their views. The position Of the
Register on the tribal tax question
ia too we'll known TO require any
lengthy explanation. We hold
that the entire system is wrong
aud in direct opposition to the
constitution to the United States,
which declares against taxation
without representation. Tribal
taxation should be entirely abol.
ished, but so long as these taxes
are enforced and collected, there
is no more reason why the cattle
man should be exempt from pay
ing the tax levied against him than
there is for the hay man, the mer-
chant or any other class Of people
paying that against them. II the
man who ships few bales Of hay
is required to pay a tax the man
who holds a thousand head Of cat
tie should be treated in the same
way. The Chieftsin is right and
the people will stand by it,

Gently arrived at her English
home at Marlborough from her
continental travels, and will stay
there for a short time, making
daily pilgrimages to the mausole-
um where the exiled emperor and
the ill-fated prince imperial are
sleeping. There are sorrow and
disappointment in the closing
years Of the ex-empress's life. She
was once the woman Of matchless
beauty whom every French sub
ject adored. Very few English
men know the antecedents Of this
woman. she is Eugenie Marie de
Montijo, and was born seventy.

old Spanish city Of Granada. She
was the second daughter OF q
Spanish grandee and Of q Scotch
lady, kirkpatrick Of Cliseburn.
The incidents which occurred be-
tween her marriage and her fight

crystalized into historical record,
but when she left Paris she took

wreck Of the empire, and this she
has disbursed with q liberal hand.

FROM OTHER SANCTUMS.
Other Territory Papers on the
Chieftain Boycott,

Speaking of cattlemen it must
always be borne in mind that there
are two classes, one Of which buys
up all kinds of marketable stock
for shipment to Kansas City or st.
Louis. They purchase from ciii-.
zens and non citizens alike, where
ever they can find an animal fit
for the shambles. /. is these men
who have distributed among the
people Of the territory whatever
Of wealth or profit arises from the
cattle trade here. With these
dealers the Cherokee laws do not
interfere.
But there is another class, the
introducers Of cattle from Texas
and other southern states from
whom neither the nation nor the
people derive ONE cent of profit.
Whole train loads of cattle from
the south have been unloaded at
out OF the way places on the prair-
les where there ia no chance to
count the herds or keep record
Of the owners. This stock eats
out the grass SO effectually, root
and blade. that pasturage is des
troyed, whole sections Of our once
luxuriant prairies being covered
with rag weed. 1t is to this class
of dishonest cattlemen that the
Cherokee law, which federal off,
cials are endeavoring to enforce ap
plies. Ii is this class of vampires
that are the tax fighters, the boy
cotters, who run the First Nation
al Bank of Vinita, and who have
hitherto essayed TO rule the nation,
until at last they have reached the
point where ''grasping avaricious-
ness breaches ITSELF" Out upon
such men. Fairland Bee.
