When the United States senate con-
venes for the ffty-se~enth session,
there will be observed in the seat SO
long occupied by Mr. Turpia CT Indiana
a boyish looking young man OF slight
build, clearly chiseled features and
vsavy brown hair. This will be Albert
J. 13everidge, the new senator elect from
the Hoosier State.
Just about % years 6 this young
man was a boy of IA living on a farm in
Illinois. He was following a pillow. AT
the end of a long furrow he stopped and
called to a man driving a team along
the farm road.
Father he said, eff I can make
enough money this summer to pay my
board next winter, will you let me go to
the high school n term?"
Yes, Bert, 1 guess L a spare you,'
was the answer
The boy went on blowing and think
ing. Money was hard to make in that
district. Farmers were not hiring ex-
ira hands, and the prospect seemed
doubtful. But before the spring was
over a railroad line was surveyed
through the county and grading be-
gun. The plowboy hired out as teamster
in one of the grading gangs. He did a
mans work and drew a mans pay. So
that winter there was a new scholar at
the high school.
The next spring he cut short his
school term, having studied nights and
mornings to do it, and long before the
final exercises he was away in h wal
nut woods working as a logger. AL
though merely a boy, he was given the
charge of one Of the camps. At night,
when the other loggers played cards or
told stories, the youthful foreman sat
down in a corner beside a tallow dip
and studied history and political econo-
my and pored over statistics Even
then he formed opinions as to the effect
of forei 1 trade relations on national
conditions. One of these opinions was
that in time our Industrial centers
would become so congested that we
should have to rely on foreign trade to
dispense with our surplus manufac-
lures.

the logging camps and study during the

Porter J.. McCumber, who will rep

he was not one of the three principal

has made his home for nearly a score of
years in Wahpeton, which is in the
southeastern corner of the state. He

arrested, but as nothing could be proved
against him he was liberated. He was
compelled to leave France and then went
to England, where he met with but slight
success. After having been expelled from
various countries on the continent he pro-
ceeded to Rome, where he fell into the
hands of the inquisition and was SEN
fenced to death. His sentence was, how
ever, comnauted to imprisonment for life,
and he passed the last eight years of his
life in a dungeon. NEIL MACDONALD.

a man who fought under Washington.

ambition of this old lady, aged 1o2, was

On a rainy afternoon not long ago
one of the pretty young matrons of
Connections avenue left the car from
which she had ridden up town and
darted through the drizzle toward her
home, few doors from the corner, She
had no umbrella. A Willie of the char
acteristic type, who was riding in the
same car, noticed that she had no UNI
brella. He was right after her with his
own umbrella up and extended.
May see you home, miss?" he in
quired languishingly, stepping up
alongside of her.
She turned to him with dazzling
smile.

without looking back.

POET BURNS As A PUoILIsT.
A Masonic Souvenir of His Fighting
Ability Owned In Chicago.

A part of the Masonic altar that once
brought the Scottish bard, Robert
Burns. in dire disgrace before his
lodge is now In the possession of a
Chicago woman, Mrs. w. +. Funch OF
1850 Sidney avenue, and is treasured
by her as family heirloom.
Mrs. Funch Is by birth a Canadian
of Scotch origin. In the days when her
grandfather, George MacRae, was
did Bobbie Burns and was one Of the
"liehts" of the town. One night before
lodge meeting the poet and MaeRae
sat long together
Bousing at the nappy,
And gettin fou and unco happy.
And then arm in arm they sauntered
slowly to the room where the Masons
were wont to assemble.
All would have gone well had not
Burns desired to show his Masonic
brethren how good a pugilist he was,
and he let go heavy undercut at Mac
Rae, arousing the latter's fighting
blood, and the bout began. which re-
suited in MacRae being felled to the
floor and Bobbie Burns throwing the
four legged altar, or stand, at him as
he attempted to rise.
Luckily he missed him aim, and the
stand struck violently against the wall.
SCATTERING completely one of the legs.
At the Following meeting the two
friends were brought before the order
for trial. A fine was imposed ON them,
and they were made to replace the al
tar. The broken one was thrown out,
and as MacRae went home he carried
the stand with him.
1t is about two feet high and is of
style out of use today in the Masonic
order. 1t has since been preserved in
the family as an heirloom.-Chicago

have about destroyed this years
crop of English sparrows in Vinita.
Upwards of 800 were counted on
the ground lea d the morning after

near the roller mills, and large
numbers were found lying on the
ground elsewhere about town.
Wherever there were trees the
birds seem to have been driven
from their roosts and blown against
the branches and killed. Since
the storm very few sparrows have
been noticed about their old
haunts and the supposition is
that most of them perished

Once a foolish pug got frighten-
ed at the moon. As the great sill
very orb swung into space night
after night larger and larger, the
little pug grew furious. He curl
ed his tail so tight that it almost
lifted bis hind legs off the ground
as he galloped around growing
and barking at fearful rate. "The
moon will get me sure if l allow
il 10 get any bigger" he shouted,
and he scratched the ground with
al four of his little feet at once.
But the moon rolled on higher
and higher in full-orbed splendor,
and when the morning had come
the children found him on the
grass: his voice was hushed, and
his tail was Iank. The little dog
was dead-frightened at the inno-
cent moon.

act of the national council (Nov. 4
1S40) as commencing at the north
west corner of Delaware district
thence south along the western
line of said district TO Tahlequat
district, or Spring Greek; thence
down said Creek to Grand river,
and along the same to Mrs. Annie
Irons old place; thence along line
of Illinois district to Mrs. Rachel
McDanieps old place, on Verdigris
river, including all the country
west not embraced in any of the
above described districts"
Ia October, 1859, the western
portion of Saline district was cut
of and organized into Cooweescoo-
wee district in honor of Chief John
Rose, his Cherokee name being
Cooweescoowee, embracing all the
Cherokee nation west of the fol-
lowing boundary: Commencing
at the corner stone of the Creek
nation, few miles north or north
west of the old Union Mission; /;
running thence a due east course
until it strikes the Missouri road,
running west of Neosho or Grand
river; thence along said road to
about one mile northward of the
crossing of Rock creek; thence
along in a certain trail known as
Mathis trail, until said trail strikes
the northern boundary line of the
Cherokee nation" This boun-
dary was changed Nov. s, 1895, to
"run on the west bank of Grand
river, over the river at the termi-
nation of the Creek boundary, at
the narrow strip and line of Illi-
nois district, commencing here and
running up Grand river TO Rocky
creek. and up the same to where
the line of Cooweescoowee crosses,
thence a straight course due north"
The northern portion was again
altered to extend from the NJ, K.
& T. R. R. crossing of Rock creek,
"thence north on said road to the
line of the state of Kansas. By
the present boundaries Coowee-
scoowee district contains 1 500, 900

The first of the Ross name to
marry into the Cherokee tribe was
Daniel Ross, father of Chief John
Ross. Daniel Ross was born in
Scotland, in 1850,
and came to the Cherokee nation
from Baltimore. He descended
The Tennessee river in an impro-
yised fiat boat and landed at John
Browns ferry near Sitico. He

Who had acquired but little less
than the head chief of
he nation. Mcdonald at once re-
paired to Sitico and plead in be-
lalf of Ross, stating that he, like
himself, was a Scotchman and that
le would consider it a personal |
INSULT to himself if Ross was killed. |
The Cherokees did not want to
lisplease Mcdonald as he had |
,een uniformly fair in his dealings
With them and was a British agent.
Daniel Ross was liberated and i'm
by his late captors to
make his home in their country,
which he did, and in 1855 he mar
led Mollie, the daughter of his

Daniel Ross was never called
