There are two ways in which
church property may be secured
in the townsites. One is By spe.
cial provision of the Atoka agree
ment, which authorizes the giving
of single lot, so by 80 feet, to
a church where it has improve
ment. This conveys no title, but
merely gives occupancy and
should the property cease to be
used for church purposes then
it would revert to the tribe. The
other way is to have the lots ap-
praised and sold when the trus-
tees can bid them in at sixty-two
and q half per cent of their ap-
praised value, and can have as
much as 100 feet front, while the
other way only gives them fifty
feet front.

flying the treaty provides that
Just such a claim may be settled
after allotment, and the courts
may hold this to be good, and the

The matter looks doubtful, and
the new question has a powerful

it, and will be fought to a finish.
Congress will meet in December
and may provide some remedy,
or a compromise may be effected.

Miss Helen Gould knows how to be
happy, though rich. The pretty story
of the dance at Fort Yellowstone, in
which Miss Gould waltzed with the
troopers and had a good democratic
time, Is one Of many. 1t is the art of
being human-human in manner,
thought and sympathy. 1t is not easy
for one overburdened with wealth to
escape the sin of pride and avoid the
aloofness which draws line between
fortunes pets and common humanity.
But Miss Gould does it. simply and nat
urally. 1t is an example worthy of imi-
tation. Great wealth can be made the
means Of happiness only when employ
ed as other gifts should be-in making
others happy. Selfishness is the one
unfailing source of misery. To be happy
one should think nothing of ones self,
but everything Of others. Miss Gould
seems to be unostentatiously practicing
this human art.

Charm of the Crimea.

In the late Charles A. Dana's EAST
ern Journeys" there is fine word pic
ture expressive of the charm of the
Crimea, and the delight it has iD store
for travellers, who are not too n1dch in
hurry:
Starting in the morning from Sc
bastopol, and driving with one or two
changes of horses, we traversed the.
southern projection Of the PENINSULA
and at about o'clock in the afternoon
passed through the Gates of Baidar,
as the passage through the Iaila Noun
tains is called, and looked down upon
one Of the noblest spectacles in the
world. Immediately before us lay the
boundless sea, the shore rocky and
broken, with villages, churches, cas-
ties, and little. seaports, all made ac-
cessible by the great road cut into the
mountain side here and there, ard then
built out upon walls over some abyss
or valley below, alone enough to make
the name of Prince Michael Woront-
zoff forever memorable in all south
eastern Russia. The vegetation Of
the mountain slopes toward the sea is
wonderfully varied and interesting.
The prevailing trees are oaks and
beeches, with pinion pines, expresses,
myrtles, mulberry trees, and occasion
ally fig trees mingled among them.
