A RHYMING WILL.

from Chambere's Journal.
THE following is the poetical effort OF one
John Hedges. who died at FfnchIey. near
London, more than I50 years ago:
This fifth day of May,
Being airy and gay,
To hip not inclined.
But Of vigorous mind,
And my body In health,
III dispose Of my wealth.
And Of all am to leave
On this side of the grave.
TO some one or other,
1 think to my brother;
But because foresaw
That my brothers-in-kaw,
IL / did not take care
Would come in for share.
Which In no ways intended
TIL their manners were mendea-
, And of that. GOD knows, there's no s,g,.
! therefore enjoin
And strictly command.
As witness my hand,
That naught I have got
BE brought to hotch-pot:
But give and devise.
As much as in me lies,
To the son of my mother.
My own dear brother,
To have and TO hold,
All my silver and gold.
As the affectionate pledges
or his brother,
JOHN HEDGES.

Ii HUNG CHANGES QUESTIONS.

An American Woman in the London ExpressL

New York daily to interview him.

Now this was not an easy thing 10 ac-

and is in color. The opening
feature is the first installment Of

who have read this story pro-
nounce it the Strongest work that
Mr.. Parker has yet done. United

Of Indiana, has a brilliant paper
on "Facing the World at Fifty"
in which he marshals an imposing
array of successes after the half
century mark had been passed.

two pages Of "reminiscences Of Mark
Twain, giving for the first time
letters and anecdotes referring to
his last lecture tour across the
American continent. The short
fiction of the number includes COM
plete stories by Ian Maclaren,

souri,. There are installments Of
Mooswa of the Boundaries, W. A.
Fraser's animal story, and of The
Eagles Heart, Hamlin Garland's
novel of the far west. On the page |
devoted to men and women are
stories of people prominent in the
public eye. The editorial page
treats of politics, the census, and
other current themes. The "Pub-
lick Occurrences" department tells
how, through coal and gold, the
supremacy Of the world. Besides
these attractions there are articles
giving the latest scientific discov-
cries, Secretary Wilson's views OF

MORE EXPENSIVE,
Appropriation Bill Bothers
Residents Of an Agency.

The residents of the Quapaw
agency, in the northeast part o.
the Cherokee nation, are just now
regretting the insertion oil a clause
in the Indian appropriation bill,
passed at the last session of con.
gress, and which was inserted in
the bill at the special instance and
request of the residents OF that
agency.
Since the United States courts
were established in this territory
all mortgages executed in this
(northern) district. which includes
the Quapaw agency had to be filed
or recorded in the main Office of
the clerk of the council at Musko-
gee. The cost of filing a chattel
mortgage is only 25 cents, but
when the people of the Quapaw
agency desired to examine the
mortgage records they were re-
quired to pay the clerk at Musko-
gee for making the examination or
pay for copy Of the instrument
which they desired to examine.
This system was not only expen.
sive, but occasioned much incon-
venience and delay, and the resi-
dents Of the agency had clause
inserted in the Indian appropria.
lion bill by which it was supposed
they were authorized to file their
chattel mortgages in the Office of
the deputy clerk Of the district at
Miami. From the following let
ter, however, it will be seen that
the clause confers no such authori-
ty, but that, instead, the residents
OF that agency are now required to
incur the expense Of having all
their chattel mortgages recorded,
the cost of which is several times
more than to have them filed:
III. NJ. Butler, Deputy Clerk, Mi
ami, |. T. "Dear Sir: l have
just been informed as to the clause
in the recent Indian appropriation
bill, passed May 81, and as to its
meaning, The act under the head
of 'Quapaws' provides as follows,
viz: That hereafter all chattel
mortgages executed in the Quapaw
agency in the northern district of
the Indian Territory shall be re-
corded in the town of Miami by
the clerk of said northern district
Of the Indian Territory, or by his
duly appointed deputy, in a book |
or books to be kept for that pur-
pose.'
"The above does not provide
for the filing Of chattel mortgages
and therefore you will not accept
any for filing, but notify sll parties
who send them in to be FLED, that
The recent act annuls former acts,
and that the instruments are not
legal accorning to law unless re.
corded.
You will also notify all parties
who have fled chattel mortgages
since June l, 1900, that they must
'end in The necessary amount 10
lsvs same recorded or the instru.
nents now on file will not be valid.
Please give this your immediate
liieniion and obliee. Respectfully.

bright profession, shook hands with all
present and said the thing he once hated
he now loved and vice versa.
On the eve of the election we hear of
Billy again at Big Sandy, when he had
his father (peace to his memory as a good
MANI to mount the platform and tell the
people that Billy would vote the Repub-
lican ticket on the morrow.
The next we heard of Billy was in a
Democratic primary and critieising those
that lifted him up out of the dust for a
time and bemeaning us on account of
that bread and coffee. We regret that
Billy had hard spell ofindigestion, but
ne should have done more chewing and
less talking.
The last we heard of Billy; he was
tustling with clods and gnats by the
placid waters of Sulphur Greek, where
we hope he will be successful, make a
good crop and be able to attend school
a few years at Smiths College or some
other place where students are taught to
be honorable, to have a fixed principle,
and, above all, to never sacrifice that
principle merely to satisfy for a short
time the greed of a demagogue.
