SPORTING GLOVES

Gray covering, brown Amazon cloth,
serge and the Scotch wool cheviot mix
lures are all popular goods, and the
percale and bingham shirt, with their
new ties, appear supreme. A word is
necessary, of course. concerning golfing
gloves and hats and shoes. Antelope
and beautifully dressed baby kangaroo
skin are prime favorites with the club
swinging sisterhood who wear gloves
on the links. All these, of course,
button at the back of the wrist, are
open on the knuckles and the palms
are properly corrugated with little
horizontal lines of white rubber, to give
the proper grip without a slip. You
can also buy very modish antelope
gloves of just one buttons length to
wear with your fine golfing suit when
you are not playing.

irresistible to the sporting women;
those who have an eye to their looks
wear brown ties with the tops of brown

Many yachting dresses. already under

dresses. That is to say the skirt of
serge or French vigoreux is encircled
with diminishing braids well up above
the knee and then over this in front
drops a triangle of goods like an ex-
tended and very pointed apron. The
coat worn with this will have a sailor
collar rolling back over the shoulders
and extending down in pointed fronts
well below the waist line. Collars of
rich and brilliant silk are set on coats
of the darkest blue goods, and in sharp
contradiction to these gay coats, that
are not meant to fasten in front over
the yachting shirts of braided flannel,
are the easy sou'westers made for
boating wraps.

Arithmetic.

The science Of arithmetic is attribut.
ed by some 70 the Egyptians, by others
to the Chaldeans and by others again to
the Chinese. From AN early date, prob
ably 1000 years before Christ, the
swahpan, or abaCus, was in use in China
for performing arithmetical computa.
tions. The Chinese also use their fingers
for Che same purpose, every joint Of
each finger having different arithmet-
ical value. Arithmetic was brought
into Greece from Egypt by Thales 800
years B. @. One of the oldest known
treatises upon arithmetic is by Euclid,
in the third century before Christ. The
first arithmetic printed in England was
in 1929, by Tonstall, bishop Of Durham.
Until the American Revolution most Of
the arithmetics used in the colonies
were brought from England. One Of the
earliest American arithmetics was q
work called Arithmetic Vulgar and
Decimal, " published at Boston in 1874.

THE PREACHERS POINTS,
Synopsis of Sunday Sermons
at the Churches.

Prof. W. A. Caldwell + :, ned
at the Presbyterian church yester-
day, Rev. w. I. King being ab-
sent at Wagner. As a starting
point the professor took the first
verse of the 9th Psalm: Fret
not thyself because of evil
Doers." In the course of his dis
course he said harsh criticism was
not Christ's way of teaching. That
the Christ life was shown forth in
the believer not in carping criti-
cism, but in gentleness; not like
the hammering OF the icOnOclast
but by the persuasive power of a
good example. Christ despised
the sin but loved the sinner, he
condemned the action but not the
actor. Christians should max e
less noise but do more good, and
instead of evil ways offer some
thing better. When the disciples
wanted to call down fire from
heaven upon the city that had mis-
treated them they were rebuked
by the master. Christ should be
exalted by all who preach and
teach, and the uplifted, regnant
son of God should he the theme.
Christ said to the disciples and to
the Christian world: "Peace !
leave with you, my peace l

MANY UNSETTLED QUESTIONS

To tie thoughtful and intelli-
gent Cherokee the future is not
roseate with promise Of better con-
ditions. A final settlement. . of
tribal affairs is in progress, but
not at rate of speed that prom
ises much in any definite time.
The allotment Of land and individ-
ual title is the thing above all else
that is wanted by the Cherokees,
but there are so many difficulties
in the way that it may be long
weary years before such a consum-
nation can be reached, The mag
nitude of the task of placing every
Indian citizen in the whole Indian
Territory in possession Of his in
dividual share OF the lands of his
tribe is just beginning to be un-
derstood by the Dawes commits
sion, and the length of time that it
will take cannot be computed by
the most careful and the best
posted men in the country.
The position Of the Dawes com.
mission on the contention of the
Delawares is destined to cause de-
lay and endless litigation. No
agreement can ever be made that
would yield point SO far-reach-
ing, and from the CherOkees'
standpoint so unjust. The courts
will ultimately be called upon to
settle the dispute. The Fo!l oi
freedmen in the Cherokee nation
is an open and an unsettled ques'
ton, and will require considerable
time for adjudication. The rights
of freedmen have been determined
by the coGrts, bat 2 correct rostei
of those entitled to share in tn,
tribal property has not been de
termined. All these, and many
more questions equally serious ar
crowding to the front demanding
attention, and must be settled be
fore there can be any allotment o
lands among the Cherokees.

Fire This rIornipS.

W. L. Trott's large dwelling,had a
very narrow escape from destruction
by fire about o'clock this morning
4 general alarmi was sounded and
great many persens responded, and by
their efforts the structure was saved.
1t seems that the "Blackstoni-
an talent" as the Chieftain calls
it, of the MuskOgee bar was not
sufficient to persuade JudgeThom-
as to grant an injunction restrain
ing Indian Agent Shoenfelt from
collecting the Greek occupation
tax. The tax may be rather steep,
but the government in this, as in
numerous other instances, has
shown that it will not 60 beyond
laws of the different tribes in the
collection of royalties and taxes.
And there be those who say that
congress cannot change these laws
unless by consent of the tribes,
that it is a source of revenue that
can no more be alienated than can
the royalty on coal or timber.
Even should the people of the
towns be exempt from the tax on
goods, wares and merchandise
after the townsites have been sold
and have become the property of
the white man, it is held that the
professions will continue to be
taxed. The Muskogee bar gave
notice of appeal but in the upper
court the case will meet with the
same fate, for Judge Springer and
Judge Clayton are both known TO
have the same opinion on this
question as given by Judge

The Champions Take First
Game With Ease.

Vinita won from Oswego Sun
day in a very loosely contested
game. The Vinitas out-played
Oswego, at every point. The "iea-
lures" of the game were Little's
work in the box for the home
team-with the exception of being
little wild at times when men
were on bases. But he settled
down and made eight of the Os-
wegoes lay down the willow"
only allowing six light hits and
three men bases on balls. All
went well until Catcher Parks got
the ball in fifth inning and lost his
head Gas well as the balD by
throwing it away when men were
on bases, letting in two runs.
With that exception Parks caught
a nice game, but couldn't hit.
OswegO was weak in the box, the
home team punching their hits in
almost every lining of Dunham's
delivery. The Oswega club is
made up of a lot Of good fellows,

LIKE ROUNDLAP BALES.
Opinions Of Cotton Farmers and Gin
ners After a Seasons Experience

The attitude of cotton glnners
and farmers towards the Roundlap
bale OF the American Cotton COM
pany, after seasons test of the
machine, is illustrated by letter
received recently by the editor of
the Manufacturers Record, Balti-
msre, as follows:
Editor Manufacturers Record:
Some time ago you requested
US TO give you our opinion of the
American Cotton Co.'S cylindrical
press. At that time We were un-
able to give our views correctly
owing to the short time We had
operated the press. Now that the
ginning season has closed, we can
unquestionably say that the press
Is a success in every particular,
not only from a ginner's standpoint
but as practical farmers. The re-
suits from the sale Of our cotton
have been eminently satisfactory
and much beyond what we had
anticipated. The advantages to
planter and operator are so many
that it would take up too much
space TO enumeate them. 1t is
sufficient to say that no one who
has baled their cotton on this
press would now or hereafter
patrcnise any other. And why
should they? Their ginning
charges are less than the SCARE
pres people charge, and they re-
ceiye from one quarter to one-hali
cent per pound more than they
could get in the square bale.
| There is no question about the
round bale being here to stay, and
we would advise the ginmen
especially those who are near a
railroad, to get in the swim at once
and exemplify the old adage o
the early bird getting the worm
They will not only benefit them
selves but their friends, the farm
ers, will get the cream that the
middlemen, the commission mer
chants, have been enjoying anC
getting rich upon. In conclusion
to condense the advantages, vii
say that the bale is fireprooi
waterproof, dustproof and proc
that it is a labor-saying an'
money-making bale to the farmer

men and national glory. The
campaign for election of principal
chief in other years has been sur
rounded with a halo of glory alone
peculiar to the Cherokees. The
political powwow, the barbecued
beef, the whoop of the half drunk
en- Indians, the matchless stump
nratory in the native tongue, the
long mOnotonous drawl of the in
terpreters, the stripped hunting
shirts, remain only as memories
OF bygone age, and will never
again be heard with the same free,
wild abandon as in other years.
With the limited political powers
left the Cherokees there is little
to inspire enthusiasm or keep alive
the fading spark of tribal patriot
ism. The regretat the departure of
the old Indian regime IS begotten
more of sentiment perhaps than
patriotism as there was really
little worth preserving in the whole
system of government as admins
tered during the last 20 years by
the Cherokees. Pride in their own
institutions was pardonable, but
there was little else to commend
it. A history of the financial
transactions of the Cherokees
does not show a high order of
ability, other than ability to loot
the treasury of thousands of dol
lars annually.

THE END OF THE PLAY.

There is no denying the fact
that, to the average Cherokee
there is a tinge of sadness in the
campaign that is just now closing
in the Cherokee nation. The
glory of the old fashioned Cher
kee election is gone, and in its
place there lie an indescribable
something that has in it the pathos
of a funeral, and the deep longing
of the exile whose eyes can never
again see the blue hills of his ma
tive land. The average Indian
knows full well that the present
campaign, and the election next
Monday is not much more than a
farce, and a meaningless mockery
of former national greatness. All
the Wiles of the Cherokee politi-
clan have not been sufficient TO
charm away the existence OF the
Curtis bill and other acts of con-
gress that have stripped the Cher
okees of the right Of self govern
