Territory Incidents.

The severe wind storm that paid
the Territory visit last week Great
ed more stir in Nowata than any
other town in the Territory. A few
days a townsman in passing an
clubhouse that had been upset by
the wind, discovered the feet of a
young child protruding from the
filth. An investigation disclosed
the fact the body was that of
babe, and that a weight was at
tached to its neck by piece of
cord. The woman that had lived
there, whose name was Chick, con-
fessed that the child was hers and
was taken before Commissioner
Don Carlos of Vinita, for prelim
mary hearing.
Walter Smith of Bloomfield, des-
perate with toothache, took a piece
of stovepipe wire, tied one to his
tooth and the other to the end of a
ramrod. The latter was fired from
a gun and the tooth went with it.
A clondburst and terrific hail
storm took place near Dawson, l..
T, the other evening. Water and
hail fell in torrents. All kinds of
vegetation and fruit were destroyed
in Ithe track of the storm. The
hail remained on the ground in
heaps until 10 clock the next day.

Indian Territory, the board will
receive no more cases for treat

was to be the mound of fresh earth.
When the remainder had arrived and

the ground that there are few, if any,
things in the domain of astronomy that
can really be called fixed space-the
fact being that unceasing changes are
going on, though these changes are gen
orally so slow as to escape the notice
of superficial observer, but are fortu-
nately periodic, so that they fall with
in the possibility of computation. Thus,
the earth's path is not fixed, since the
ecliptic changes It's position among the
stars, in consequence of which the
obliquity of the ecliptic undergoes a
very slow change, SO that while at pres
ent it is few seconds more than % de-

QUEEN VICTORIA.

The Queen attributes her long life
and excellent health very largely to her
practice of spending as much time as
possible in the open air every day. IN
her youth riding was her fayorite recre-
alton. and in Scotland she has almost
lived on pony back. Now, of course
carriage exercise has taken its place.
Every morning her Majesty goes out IN
her little pony chair, often visiting the
farm and stables in the course of her
drive. Sometimes her chair is drawn
by q beautiful donkey which was pur-
chased in the south of France by his
royal mistress to save him from i'll
treatment. This donkey rejoices in the
name of Jacko, and on holiday occa-
sions wears curious harness adorned
with bells, and with two foxes brushes
hanging over his bllnkers. The greater
part of the forenoon of each week day
is devoted to business, for no woman In
the land gets through more actual work
In the course of each week than the
Queen. Her dispatch boxes are ar
ranged on table set in Windsor Park,
near the Frogmore teahouse, whenever
the weather permits. Here the Queen
carefully reads and annotates the in
Vulnerable dispatches which come to
her from the foreign and home offices,
for 1t has been the rule of her life to
attend personally TO all important af-
fairs of state.
But this by no means represents all
para1fffopionS OP
Queen. Her private correspondence Is
enormous, for 1t Is kind of unwritten
family law that all her children and
grandchildren shall write to her every
day. All important housekeeping ques-
tons are settled By the royal mistress
herself, who often orders the meals and
even keeps an eye on the household
linen.
Even the smallest details of domestic
economy are not regarded by the Queen
as beneath her notice. A story is told
that on one occasion she went into a
practically disused room at Windsor
and noticed a cabinet that had evil
IDENTITY not been busted that day She
promptly wrote the royal autograph in
the dust and beneath 1t the name of
the particular maid whose duty it YVES
to dust the room. This may seem rather
small matter, but when one remem-
beers that nearly 1000 persons are en-
ployed In Windsor Castle and its pre-
cincts 1t shows a very remarkable
