Senator Hoar rep. says: Though l
stood i'll an humble capacity by nv
yarty's cradle at its birth, do not intend
to follow its hearse, if can help it. There
never has been a republic yet in history
that acquired dominion over another ma
ton that did not rule it selfshly and
Oppressively. Tsere is no single excep-
ton TO this rule either in ancient or
modern times. Rome, Carthage, ve1ice,
Genoa, Florence, Pisa, Holland and
Republican France, all tyranized over
every province and subject state where
they gained authority. When YOU
raise the flag over the Philippine islands
as an emb' EN- of dominion and acquisi-
ton, you tx it down from independ-
eace hall Besides, and l love to pro-
claim it loudly, the time of conquest is
past, never to return, for it is not by ex-
t,nding the boundaries ofits territory that
a nation can henceforward be honored
and powerful, but by placing itself at the
head of generous ideas and spreading
everywhere the empire of right and
justice"

The greatest danger from
trusts is not because of the III
crease of 25 per cent in the
cost of living, although that is
a burthen placed upon the pro-
pie almost solely to secure pro-
fit upon over capitalization.
The particular danger we have
reference to will come when
legislation to protect the peo-
pie is undertaken. Then the
aggregate influence and power
of trusts to control courts and
Congress will be shown. Then
will come the real contest for
supremacy between the people
and the trusts.-Editorial in

in the evening when a bell began to
ring loudly somewhere near, and I
jumped up and went out on the side
walk to see if I could discover any
signs of fire. When I got outside I
saw everybody rushing along like mad,
and about fifty men came tearing into
the hotel at such a rate that they
knocked me down on the sidewalk and
came near trampling the life out OF
me.
Il managed TO- crawl to my feet and
hurried inside, wondering if would
have time to get my trunk out. Every
thing seemed to be quiet when I got
in, and asked man who was smok-

That whatever gave the first impulse to

TO us most unpleasant exertion as q
form Of actual amusement. It also
confers right to property. Prairie
dogs constantly set to work to dig holes
merely for the love of the thing. II
they can not have a suitable place to
exercise their talent in they will gnaw
into boxes or chests of drawers and
there burrow, to the great detriment of
the clothes therein contained. In an
Enclosed prairie dog town" they have
been known to mine until the superin-
cumbent earth collapsed and buried the

instantly dug hole large enough to

1t is noticeable that the two weakest
and least numerous Of our mice the
dormouse and the harvest mouse. do
not burrow, but make nests, and that
these do not multiply or maintain their
numbers like the burrowing mice and
voles. But the fact that there are
members of very closely allied species,
some OF which do burrow, while others
do not, seems to indicate that the habit
is an acquired one. In this connection
those which do not burrow at
other times form burrows in
which to conceal and protect
their young, or, if they do bur-
row, make different kind of a more
elaborate character. Among these
nursery burrows are those Of the dog,
the fox, and sandmartin, the kingisher
and the shelldrake. Foxhound filters

she will work this five or six feet into

OUR SCOTCH INDIANS.
Signs of the Infusion of Blood from
Across Sea in Cherokee Veins.

Signs of the Infusion of Blood from
Across Sea in Cherokee Veins.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Chero-
KEGS come well by their stubbornness,
their shrewdness and their love of
controversy. AS Indians they had these
traits to begin with. AS the result of
a strong infusion of Scotch blood they
added to the strength of the CHAR AFTER
istics. 1t is Scotch history that after
the battle of Culloden many Scotchme
left their native land rather than ac-
cept English sovereignty. 1t is Cher
okee history that numbers of these
sturdy Scots found homes and wives
with the Cherokee Nation before the
enforced migration of the tribe from
Georgia to the Indian Territory. John
Ross was one of these Scotch exiles
who accepted Cherokee citizenship. He
became chief and was given the name
of "Coo-is-coo-ee" When the ration
moved to the territory one of the dis
tricts into which the reservation was
divided for government purposes was
named "Coo-is-coo-ee" Ross founded
family which became powerful in
Cherokee councils. He and his son were
frequent visitors to Washington and
had much to do with the treaty max
ing which gave to the nation the
strong legal position it holds in it's
relation with the United States. A
descendant of Ross, the Scotch exile,
is one of the officers of the nation to-
day. The Adairs are another inf1uen-
tial Cherokee clan established by a
Scotchman who came over after the
battle of Culloden. AS the descendants
of Adair by his Cherokee wife grew up
they were sent away to American COL
leges and given the best of opportuni-
ties for education. McNair is another
Of the familiar Scotch names introduce
ed into the Cherokee Nation by this
Scotch infusion. The McNair who
came over after Culloden was a High
lander. One of his descendants lives
on a magnificent estate of 1900 acres
in the beautiful valley of the Grand
river. Duncan is another Scotch name
found among the Cherokees. The head
and front OF the Cherokee opposition
to American citizenship is a Duncan.
whose claim to Cherokee citizenship
would not be guessed by any physical
characteristics. He is Scotch in looks
and Scotch in his love of a controversy.

lainy that is now triumphant end hon
esty that is crushed. It is vice that il

being to market the hens before mott
Ing begins, but where one Is not
crowded for room and has had success
In getting, eggs from old hens during
the winter it would seem equally as
unW1se to dispose Of nice year-old hens,
so few words of advice during this
critical period may be timely. Crit
1cal Is the word used, but it need not
be so II the birds are healthy and have
not been fed stimulating feed, but one
must surely give a little extra atten-
ton during feathering time. A little
ollmeal In their mash or feed of sun
hover seeds twice a week will be found
nelpful toward making a new growth
OF clothes; also see that they have
plenty of cool water and shade, green
iced, grit and a dust bath in a cool
place, and if not having the run of a
good grassy pasture, the refuse cab
bage heads would be extra acceptable.
Increase the allowance of feed, and as
grit is necessity at all times it is of
great Importance now.
If the supply of insects is limited,
give meat or bone in some form; you
could not receive greater returns for
money invested. A healthy hen, If
given care somewhat like the above,
will lay through the mott, and will be
ready for the egg-basket in winter
equal to the best of her early Matched
pullets, but if allowed to forage
through the mott, the chances are
against your getting any of her eggs
until spring. A word of caution now
DO not relax the feed and care as soon
as she is seemingly clothed, for the
drain has left her in slightly weak
ened condition, and she is not, clothed
entire when she appears to be, as you
Will lind If you part her feathers. It
IS wise TO remove or sell the cocks at
the beginning of the molt. Better sell
tnem unless an exceptionally nice one.
IL ought to be needless to say that
the hens should be kept free of lice
men, as they should be so at all times.
llttle sulphur is beneficial, but its
use is so abused I will not advise it.
Don't use 1t externally or internally
during damp weather. A rusty nail
or two in their drinking water will do
no harm, but may do good, and a feed
OF onions occasionally will go far
toward keeping them in health: also
Stacked lime left where they can have
access to it; mix it with their char
coal; they will not eat enough to hurt
them.
Milk is at all times good, but is
probably never needed more than now.
Don't think this is too much fussing
and doctoring, for there is no remedy
or help mentioned but what is in reach
of every farm wife, except the oilmeal
and bonemeal, but if you have sun
flowers the oil meal is not needed, and
bonemeal is in the nature of a food.
The loss of one or two goods hens
would more than balance against the
bother, to say nothing of having your
hens in laying condition in time for
high prices, and then there is no sue
cess without labor, the degree of sue
cess to correspond to the amount of
labor. Take the best possible care of
what you have, always aiming to have
it better.
