A well-known waterfront character
in Bath, Me-, recently spent a month
in Jail at Wiscasset and rather en-
joyed it. The warden treated the man
leniently, allowed him to 60 fishing
and enjoy other reliefs to the monotony
of prison life and used him as mail
messenger and errand boy. One night
the prisoner was delayed on mission
to the post office and did not arrive at
the Jail until after six, when the instl-
tutionis closed for the night. The war
den was waiting for the DELINQUENT
and gave him small lecture, ending
BY saying; r'If you are as late as this
again / shall lock you out!' The pris-
oner was careful to be on time after
that,

There is unnecessary cOmmo-

There is unnecessary commo-
ton about the calamity that II
is claimed would follow the en-
forcement OF the Curtis law in the
Cherokee nation. or course there
are some things in that famous
measure that would be impossible
Of rigid enforcement, but on the
whole there IS too much fuss being
made about it, the true situation
does not warrant any such dire
forebodings. The people whom
would be effected by the section OF
the law prohibiting holding more
than a prorata share OF the COM
mon domain are not nearly so
numerous as has been claimed
By careful observation !: can be
easily demonstrated that there are
few Cherokee citizens who are in
actual possession Of more than
what would be due them in the
event Of allotment. Most Of the
big land holders have given al
lotments inside their enclosure TO
Indian citizens who had no land.
This section of the bill is really OF
little significance and will effect
comparatively few people.

One He Didn't Get.

The following story of Ben Butler
was told by a man who said Ec was
present ON the occasion:
shortly after the war General But
Ter delivered lecture at Pfke's Opera
House In Cincinnati. The general was
well ON to the climax of his speech
when slowly from the dies overhead
descended large wooden spoon on the
end of string. Down and down 1t
came until it reached a point two or
three inches above the speakers head,
and then 1t stopped.
- he audience, of course, was con-
yulsed with mirth, but owing to his
well known visual infirmity the gen.
eral was the last to discover the spoon,
and indeed would probably not have
noticed 1t at all except that In making
an emphatic gesture to italicize point
his hand struck the suspended spoon.
Looking up. he recognized the enc
my and took In the situation at a
glance. Without any sign of embar-
rassment or confusion he detached 1t
from the string and with the remark,
Hello, there's one didn't get laid it
down on the stage and triumphantly
finished his address"

The process by which the Chinese
leather acquires its peculiar character
istics is described as follows:
The skins are put into tubs contain
ing water. saltpeter and salt and after
30 days are taken out, the hair Is shaw
ed off and the skins well washed In
spring water. Each hide Is then cut up
into three pieces and well steamed.
which is done by passing them several
times backward and forward over a
steaming oven. Further, each piece Is
stretched out separately over fiat
board and secured with nails, so as to
dry gradually and thoroughly In the
sun. The smoke of the oven makes
the leather black, and If 1t Is desired
to have 1t of II yellow appearance 1t Is
rubbed over with water In which the
fruit of the so called wongchee tree has
been soaked.
OF the offal glue Is made by heating
1t In pans for II hours over a slow fire,
and the glue so obtained is poured into
rough earthen vessels, where 1t re-
mains three days in order to coagulate.
The solid mass is cut into pieces with
sharp knives and carefully laid upon
gratinglike trays to dry, the time taken
In drying varying from days, with a
northwest wind. to 80 or 40 days with
a outhwest.-Boston Transcript.
