cussing the merits and dement's of the
house dog, a magnificent animal that
lay basking In the sun.
"Have you any idea" asked one Of
the guests. "why he Is called a Great

"Yes," slowly replied the owner of
the dog. 1T has always seemed to me
that It must be because It Is such a

smaller animal"

My father. poor as he was, and but a

and his horses were running furiously

there was frightful precipice; towards
this the horses were dashing on In all
their mad fury. when my father rushed
out in front of them and seized them
they dragged him n short way and hurt
him much, but he stopped them and

CHAPTER Y.

During all the time that Irene was left
alone she moved not. She lay and pom
dcrcd upon the years that had passed,
and upon the days that had passed. She
thought Of her fathcr-and she wondered
IL any other child In all the country had n
parent like him. She hoped not-she
prayed not. Then she thought Of the
noble youth upon whom she had bestow.
cd the whole Of her pure hearts love,
nnd she wondered IL he loved her as she
loved him. lie had never told her of his
love, though she had hoped that In his
looks she had read the happy assurance.

ence-can the protecting love OF thy noble
heart-the shielding power Of thy strong
arms, be In store for meY"
At length the maiden was aroused by
hearing a light creaking from the stairs
which came down from the roof. and In
few moments more some one tried her
door. She arose and went TO ask who
was there. and the soft voice Of Cassan.
dra was heard In reply.

die she had dropped by the side OF the
door. and then came In, and rs soon as
the door had been relocked, the two went
back to where the candles were. Irene
sat down, but she dared not ask a lics-
tiOn; she had rested all her hopes upon
her maids success, and she was fearful
Of eliciting fatal answer. But she was
not kept long In suspense.

Cassandra asked.
"You came down from the roof, did

"Kut how?" Iucried Irene, whose mind
had just caught the difficulty OF the thing.
"Ah, my mistress, good Father Rondo
has been more kind than had even hop
ed. Not only has he given me the dresses

the chapel. which | am to return to him.
"Bless you-bless--" murmured Irene
at the same time drawing the good girls

"Yes-easily," returned Cassandra
raising her head. "All We have to do Il
simply to put on the dresses. have

We will not start yet; 1t will be safer to

| Irene saw at once the proprlety Of the
girls suggestion, and ere long afterwards
she prepared to retire. The candles were
extlnguished after small nlght-lamI
had been lighted, and then Cassandrs
lay down with her mistress. 1t was moi
far from eleven o'clock when light foot
step was heard near the door, and imme

latch. Upon the instant Cassandra com

as though she had Just been awakened

ORPHANS ENTERTAIN.
An Elaborate Program Very
Well Rendered.

The Cherokee orphan asylum
has always been source Of pride
to the Cherokees for many reasons.
It is a beautiful place. IL is q
national institution, superintended
and governed by Indians.
The verdict of those who have
witnessed the commencement ex-
erclses from year to year, was that
no exercises ever came up to the
mark of those for the closing year.
On Monday evening the Junior
entertainment was Witnessed by a
large, attentive and appreciative
audience. The special features Of
it were music, Greek poses and
oontata.
In the physical culture class,
under the supervision of Miss
Browning, the work was pronounc-
ed to be the best ever Witnessed.
The contata was good, "Strange
Visions" representing different
nalionalities. The costumes we're
good. Hop Sing, the Chinaman,
seemed to make the bit Of the
strangers.
On Thursday morning, the
declamatory contest took place.
The chapel was beautifully dec
GRATED with vines and flowers and
paintings. William p. Drew, Of
Tahlequab, received the medal.
In the absence Of the president
of the board of education, Prof.
Coppook, awarded the medals.
In the course of his remarks, in
speaking Of the beauties oforatory,
he paid a beautiful compliment TO
the "gold mouthed" and "silver
tongued" orator, who, on account
Of his matchless eloquence and
Gne convictions, has become the
greatest exponent ofthe principles
Of the democracy.
The scholarship medal was
awarded to Johnson Mcdaniel.
The department medal TO Nettie
Ratley.
Lunch was served upon the
grass in the yard.
In the afternoon competitave
drill took place. The boys com.
pany was attired in dark blue
uniforms. T he prize was
given by the faculty TO the winner,

the purse to the winner in the

WHO is aHoaoIsHio

II IL be true that the fact that
Vinita has two men in the field,
Davis Hill for district delegate
and Preston s. Davis for delegate
al large to the Kansas City con-
venlion, is not modest nor right
aud put Vtuita in the attitude Of
"trying to gobble things" how
much more unmodest, hoggish
aud selfish must she appear to the
clnbs Of the Cherokee nation and
of the Indian Territory when tho
fact becomes known that Davis
Hill claims he has been endorsed
by ihe Vinita club as delegate"
and not "district delegate" or
''delegale from the Cherokee ma
zion, and that he is in the race
f1r both places-that Mr.. Hill
himself says that IL he cannot be
elected district delegate TO the
Kansas City convention he is in
the race fyr delegate at large; In
u'her words he is running for
both places. With this in view
Mr. Hill is securing endorsements
from the clubs of the Cherokee
nation where they will endorse
him us "delegate" for the purpose
Of breeding confusion and hedging
in he statement that he is in The
race for both places. If there is
anything on earth that is hoggish,
selfish aud immoGist il is u man in
the field for everything in sight.
The unbridled selfishness of some
folks is astounding. Now, it is
not true that Vinila lie asking too
much-Presion Davis is before the
people for the endorsement of the
clubs ofthe Indian Territory for
delegate at large, and nothing else.

TREATY MAY BE SHELvED
One View of Indian Matters
in Washington.

Washington, d. c., May 12.-
Little has been accomplished in
the way Of legislation efiecting the
Indian Territory during the past
week. In fact leyhargy seems to
pervade every portion of the capi-
tol and little interest is evidenced
by the members Of the fuiherance
Of the various measures pending
before the committees. Even the
appropriation bill which has been
in conference for six weeks has
not been reported back to the two
houses, the conferees still being
in wrangle over some of the pro-
visions.
Representative Parker, of New
Jersey, chairman oil the sub COM
mittee Of the judiciary committee
which has charge Of the Gains bill
creating additional commissioners
offices in the territory and increas-
ing their jurisdiction in certain
cases, expects to submit a favor
able report to the committee at an
early date. He will recommend
the modification of the bill in
many respects, and will probably
submit a substitute for the origin
al measure. 1t is, however so late
in the session that there is no pro-
liability that any action will be
taken upon this bill before con-
gross adjourns for the summer.
The Cherokee treaty is still un-
der consi deration by the joint
com Dittees ofthe house and sem
ate, but little progress is being
made, and it is apparent that it
will rot be favorably acted upon
at this session. The amendments
added to the bill by congressman
Curtis are so unsatisfactory az a
whole that ii will be necessary TO
strip the treaty Of these provis-
ions before it can possibly pass
the house and senate. These pro-
visions, which Representative Cur
tis inserted were not contained in
original agreement, and are there
fore meeting with strong opposi-
ton from members of the Cherokee
nation.
The senate committee on Indian
affairs has favorably reported the
bill authorizing the Delaware In
dians to bring suit in the court of
claims against the federal govern
ment for moneys which the tribe
claims to be due it, for failure on
the part of the federal government
to fulfill the treaty obligations.
The bill also authorizes the Miss
issippi Choctaws to bring suit in
the court of claims against the
Choctaw nation to establish their
right to tribal funds and lands.
Representative Moon Of Tenn
essee who introduced the bill in
the house providing for a terri
torial organization in Indian Ter
ritory and giving il the name OF
jefferson, in honor of the man
to whose efforts the Louisiana pur.
chase was secured to the United
States, is pressing the bill in the
com mittee on territories in the
house. A subcommittee will be
appointed at the next meeting
which will take charge Of the ques'
tion and probably give hearing;
