X. & Il. REDUCES RATES IN
INDIAN TERRITORY.

Every since the construction of the
M. K. s T, Ry. through the Indian
Territory its local passenger rate be-
tween stations in the Indian Territory
has been on the basis of five cents q
mile. The customary rate of passen.
ger fares on railroads, except in sparce
ly settled country. is three cents a
mile. The population of the Indian
Territory during the past few years
has grown rapidly; there has been q
large increase in PASSENGER traffic on
bis account, and the Katy officials,
recognizing the wants of the people
and the justice of so doing, have volun-
tarily arranged to reduce the local
passenger rate to basis of three cents
mile. This reduction will take place
on or about November first. There
will be great rejoicing among the res
dents along the line of the M. K & T

Arctic Night.

Icebergs dotted the blue surface Of
the sound, and far into the haze OF
Bafin bay we could see them drifting
southwark. The air was as still and
clear as on quiet, moonlit winter
night at home, and the level sun rays
streamed through in a glory of Italian
pink. EMBEDDING all, as was the peace
that passeth knowledge" like the Sc
renity of a soul that has won, through
toll and storm, the strength and poise
of enduring calm. 1t was well-nigh
overwhelming. In ill-disguised neces
sity we turned from the vision to the
sight of heaps of crumpled dead birds
in the boat, and talked of shooting.
and agreed that nowhere in the world
was there promise of better sport than
here. Then silence fell again. In spite
of us, our eyes were drawn outward;
and through all the peaceful beauty
we felt once more the poignancy of its
awful purity. He would be a man OF
spotless soul indeed and of assured
faith who, seeing the stainless lowell
ness of the scene, would feel no palg.
Not ones self only, but ones world
came there, as into the presence of the
great white throne. and stood con-
demned in stiffness that was un-
broken.-From with Arctic High

About Slate Pencils.

Slate pencils were formerly all cut
from slate just as it is dug from the
earth. Pencils so made were objected
to on account of the grit which they
contained. To overcome this difficulty
scientific man devised an ingeniuos
process by which the slate is ground
to a very fine powder, all grit and for
eign substances removed, and the pow
der bolted through silk much in the
same manner as -four is bolted. The
powder is then made into a dough and
this dough is subjected to heavy n.y.
draulic pressure, which presses the
pencils out in the required shape and
diameter, but in lengths of about
three feet. While yet soft the pencils
are cut into the desired lengths and
set out to dry in the open air. After
they are thoroughly dry the pencils
are placed in steam baking kilns,
where they receive the proper temper.

CHINESE DRIED OYSTERS
Said to BE Very Good = Cooksd ~

CnI00mOns 4 593sSgs
"A few years ago." said New Or
leans Bohemian, Il dropped In to SEQ
my friend Lee Zip, who keeps what he
calls 'glocely stol,' which is as near
as he can come to grocery store. He
gave me an excellent cigar and pres
emily he said: You likee dly Ostel?
What in the name of Confucius is
'dly ostel?' I asked before realized
that he was talking about dried oys-S
tiers. Come! show he replied; and
opening the lid of a big box, he took
out handful of what looked exactly
like oysters carved in mahogany. They
were not shriveled and warped, like
other dried foods. but were as plump
and symmetrical as any well-condi-
toned bivalve fresh from the deep
sea. The only difference was that
they were dark brown in color and ~
hard as bricks. When Lee Zip tossed:
them back into the box they ratified
like handful of marbles. OF course.
I was greatly surprised. and before Il
left took pains to find out all about
them The oysters are caught and
prepared at the big native shrimper-
les on the other side of the lake. The
process is a trade secret, but as nearly
as I could gather from Lee they are
spread on the tops Of large sheds and
exposed to the sun for several weeks.
What prevents decomposition do not
know, for they come out of the opera
ton as sweet and brown as nuts. Last
night tried som, by special invitation
in the Darkroom Of a laundry run by
another Monaghan friend Of mine.
They were brought in in Q bowl and
formed sort of stew or saute, which
was really delicious. The oysters
themselves were firm but exceedingly
tender, and had a peculiar peppery
flavor, differing from anything else q
ever tasted. The Chinaman who did the
cooking told me he had simply boiled
the dried oysters in water and add
ed a small strip Of pork and season
ing When l tried to probe into the
seasoning feature he suddenly lost

barrels of these oysters every month,
and that large quantities OF them are
sold in San Francisco and New York.

Special to the Bystander. As an
ode to my wedding, entitled
"WHAT DOES II MATTER?"
1t matters little where l were born,
Or if my parents were rich or poor.
Whether they shrank from the cold
worlds scorn;
Or walked in the pride of wealth
secure;
But whether I live an honest man,
And ho,d my integrity firm in my
clutch,
tell you, my brother, as plain as
i can
1t matters much.
1t matters little how long I stay
In world of sorrow, sin and care;
whether in youth l am called away,
Or Ave till my bones and pate are
bare;
But whether do the best I can
TO soften the weight of adversity's
touch
On the faded cheer Of my fellow
men,
1t matters much.
1t matters little where be my grave,
Or on the rand or on the sea,
Ely puriing brooh or meath stormy
wave,
1t matters little or naught to me:
But whether the Angel of Death
comes down
And marks my brow with his low
ing touch

TlDAL WAVE IN ~ RIVER.
osnsthing Held the Spectator Fascinated
t - the spoG,

Z - the 0p06
The moon was riding at the very
zenith, says the Century, and It dizzied
us ito look up to 1t. Each one stood
evenly within the circle of his own
clear-cut shadow on the ground, at
that moment Of the moons transit,
and the bore was due; but 1t was a
calm night, and 1t was three-quarters
of an hour after our unaccustomed
ears had caught the first far-distant,
muttering undertone before the white
thing was seen, a CHASTITY line advanc-
Ing as evenly over the water, and as
quickly, as the dark shadow Of an
eclipse sweeps over landscape. Near
er and nearer it roared, growing great
or and whittier, until we could see the
whole cascading, bubbling, frothing
front, with spray-drops showoring
from the crest higher up in the moon
light. With the roar of awful waters
the dread thing came on, raising Its
white crest higher and higher as it
licked the edges Of the piles beyond
which the junks lay. There were
shouts ard yells, and the usual boat
mems pandemonium let loose on the
junks as the roaring wave approached.
A rocket sized, some fire-crackers
sputtered and gongs resounded, but all
small sound of earth's creatures were
drowned as the fearful white thing
crashed past, and frightful kissing,
q seething, lashing and swirling OF
still higher pillows succeeded--the
most sinister sound of water ever
heard-all speeding, rushing, whlrling
madly, irresistibly on. AS the ten-foot
wall of foam reached the edge of the
piling and the junk platform, it floated
the junk loose at the instant. Each
junk rode to the floods fury bow on,
and continued to rise, to lift itself
bodily up, up, along the sea wall be-
fore ones fascinated gaze. In the
fierce after-rush, the water went swift
er and more swiftly by, until one had
a dizzying sense of danger to come,
