The land Office will be opened
April 1st, in Muskogee, and the
Greek citizens may then select
their allotments in accordance
with the terms of the Curtis
bill. There will be no scram-
BILE and rash such as characterized
the opening Of the fret land Office
in Oklahoma, as no advantage can
be secured by being the first in
choice of a claim. Practically
all the citizens have already select
ed their allotments, and most all
have for years been is possession
Of the particular farm or portion
of ground they viii file on. A
land Office in the Indian Territory
marks the first real step in the
actual "opening up" Of this coun-
try. tits as well the first real
step in carrying out the provisions
of the Curtis measure that has
now been g law for more than
year. We welcome the establish
ment Of the land Office. Musko-

The Montreal Herald considers IL
really very great nuisance that there
should be boundary dispute between
Canada and the United States lust at
this time when the people of both
countries could be very much better
engaged than in protesting how trm
they intend to be in maintaining the
positions they have adopted. Instead
OF spending valuable time looking for a
way out of quarrel, it would be much
better If the efforts OF all concerned
could be employed in facilitating the
development of the resources of the
two countries under the favorable cir.
oumsIances which have come with the
prosperity of the last two years. This
would have been possible, and treaty
between Canada and the United States
covering dozen other points might
before now have been COMPLETED. IL
only the governments of former wears
had agreed upon some settlement Of the
boundary issue before tho territory in
dispute was filled with prospectors and
ol1lclals OF both countries. There is
nothing TO be gained, however, by cry
ing over split milk. Tho difficult sit
uation IS there ard the indiscretiop of
day might easily suffice to make it
infinitely more dangerous. The real
danger OF the case, indeed, consists in
the fact that the high contracting par
ties are obliged to rely upon the dis
erection, good will and public spirit of
small host of prospectors, most of
whom may be supposed not to be dis
posed to make any allowances which
they might think would be likely to
inJuriously affect their own interests. ),

Although the popular craze for
Coon Songs" has already lasted far
longer than the average fad, its lease
of life seems as strong as ever, for out
Of the five new musical publications for
the current month, four have cake
walk characteristics In 1.-THE Luckiest
Coon in Town" the authors (Cole Il
Johnson of Wedding of the Chinee
and the Coon famel, have produced
particularly apt and catchy song
which sets forth the claims of a certain
colored gentleman to the above patrony-
mic. Aside from its interest as a song,
the work is valuable as criterion of
what the dusky brother considers lucky.
1.-The Rag Time Hymn" by II. j.
Breen and I. Mayo Geary, is the
musical setting forth of the happenings
of a well meaning but misinformed
darfey who persisted in singing the
musical portion of church service in
Rag Time" and tine attendant doings
of the shocked parson and his con-

Married. Seymour, is Of an entirely
different order: being the serenade OF
an ebon lover who appeals to his in
amorata IN the words Of the title. The

of this class, strict adherence to the
dialect being one pleasant feature,
while the music is fitting, the ending
dance being particularly catchy. "In

Jansen, is negro schottische and
sounds well, as belts a composition by
the writer of MY Lady Fair Waltzes. -
"By the Side of the Girl You Love" is

FLED WITH HER BABE.
Peculiar Disappearance from Home of Mrs
Robert Dale.


Robert Dale.
Friday evening Mrs. Robert Dale,
aged about 40 years, wife of the keeper
of the first toll gate out from Whining
ton on the Newport turnpike, dieap-
peared from her home near the toll quito
and took with her her 3-months old
child.
As soon as the other members of the
family missed her they made an inves-
tigation and after satisfying themselves
that she was nowhere about tho place
spread the alarm among the people
living in the neighborhoo6. a posse
of men was at once formed and n search
for the woman and child commenced.
The men kept up their work all night.
The woods between Wilmington and
Newport were secured and some of tho
members of the searching party came
to Wilmington to look for the woman,
while others went to Newport and other
towns in that neighborhood, but no
trace of her Was found until about 6.3b
o'clock Saturday morning, when she re-
turned to the house of her own yolition.
1t is thought she passed the night
somewhere between the toll gate and
Newport, but Just how she occupied
her time could not lie ascertained. lier
infant, which she brought back with
her, was in good condition, except that
it had been badly bitten by mosquitoes
during the night
Upon Mrs. Dale's return she re-
ceived warm welcome and she was
given the best of attention, as it is be-
lieved she is not in the best physical
condition, or she would not have left
home so unceremoniously. 1t is sail
she gave as reason for her disappear
ance that she was under the impression
somebody threatened to do her bodily
| harm.

The Bible has good deal to say
about forgiveness, but it nowhere
states that it is easy to forgive. The
man who thinks that it is easy to
forgive, either has nothing to forgive,
or does not know what forgiveness
means. Forgiveness is not, as some
imagine, mere negative abstaining
from inhicting injury upon the offender.
Bible forgiveness means also the posi-
tive exhibition of loving and actively
pitiful temper toward a wrong doer.
1t has been we'll remarked by some
one that we Unjust not think we are
forgiving because our anger is getting
tired" Forgiving is more than simply
forgetting. 1t is an active grace, diff
cult of requirement, even with help
from above. But il it is not easy it is
blessed to forgive.
