of an elevated track, adapted to be
readily taken up and laid down, and
suitable .go-cart, or chair, suspended
from the track, on rollers or wheels.
Edward Firnhaber, of Worms, Neb., is
the inventor. He claims that this ar
rangement enables the child to learn
to walk without bowling his legs, as the
child naturally throws it's greatest
weight on the chair. Then, too, this
walking track is never-ending source
of amusement to the child, as he can
play ''choo-choo'' ''tolly-tar" and six
day-go-as-you-please to his hearts con-
tent, without injury. 1t is a valuable
adjunct of the nursery, if for no other
reason than that it amuses baby and
keeps him cut of corners and away

The Welsh DOuh1e L.

A, teacher who lately died in Wales
distinguished himself by helping a
bishop to make good a boast that he
would be able to preach a sermon in
Welsh within three months of his con-
secration. The pronunciation. of the
''ll''~was a serious hindrance, and the
teacher gave counsel which proved eff
fective: ''Place the top of your right
reverend tongue upon the roof of your
episcopal mouth, and hiss like goose. )"
The bishop made such progress that
the sermon was delivered within the
promised period in what was described
as excellent Welsh.-Youth's Compan.

Dipping Is a Good Practice.

sss The practice Of dipping sheep is
very commendable one. In fact, it is
considered absolutely necessary for the
preservation Of the flock. Many on the
western range think that sheep are
free from all diseases, but the fact re-
mains that while sheep may run year
or two and show no signs Of being af-
fected in any way, there may be a
few sheep that are affected and conse-
4uently the whole flock must be dipped
to reach the few, as well as to prevent
the growth Of the disease until it
affects the whole flock Rural w orld.

SAGE GETS HIS PENNY.
New York Financier Exhibits Little
Sentiment in Business Transac-
ton with Newsboy.

Financiers and other business men
have long known that there was little
sentiment to be expected in transac-
tions with Russell Sage, and that fact
has just been brought home with much
force to those merchants of the street,
the newsboys.
Mr.. Sage was walking home one re.
cent Thursday night, when, at Forty
second street, he ran into a group of
newsboys of various sizes and ages, all
of whom apparently knew him and
seemed to be anxious to separate him
from part of his wealth in return for
an extra.
Mr.. Sage asked for a certain edition
of certain paper, and the smallest
boy in the crowd thrust upon him
what was thought at the time to be
the desired paper. Mr.. Sage paid him
and slowly walked on toward his home.
He reached the corner of Madison ave-
nue., glanced at his purchase, looked
about, hesitated an instant, and theE
grimly and slowly walked back to
where the boys were talking. Peering
about till he identified the lad he had
patronized, he said:
'''Here, boy! This isn't the pacer
asked for
Crestfallen, the lad took back the
paper, and Mr.. Sage held out his hand,
saying:
''Come, sir! I.want my money back -
The grimy little hand went down
into the trousers pocket and brought
back a cent, which finally found lodg-
ment in Mr.. Sage's palm.
Mr.. Sage somewhat YEARLY hunted
up another urchin with the right edi-
ton Of the right paper, and then re-
traced his steps homeward.

Proper Treatment of Canes.

due to filth, the eating Of the residuum

to add teaspoonful Of spirits Of tur-

cornmeal and half a pint Of middlings.
Thoroughly incorporate the turpen-

THE VALUE OF WEEDS.
Teaching Out and Are of Value
in Other Ways.

Weeds have a value. The writer
once heard PROF. Bailey say that the
weed is the friend of the farmer, and
no man should want to get rid of
a farm because it is weedy. He HIM
self had purchased good farm at
low pr4:e, because it had all run to
weeds and the former owner believed
that they were SO numerous as to
greatly reduce the value of the land.
But these same weeds had been keep
ing the fertility of the soil from leach
ing out, and had kept the ground in a
condition where it would not bake,
but would readily yield to the pillow.
He simply turned all the weeds under
and got back the fertility they had
taken from the ground. Then he
planted to other crops and had re-
gained farm.
Were it not for weeds, say after a
clover crop, the nitrogen in the soil in
readiness for plant use would disap-
pear. AS it is, the weeds take it up
and hold it for subsequent crops. The
cultivation that is necessary to keep
down weeds is not time and effort
lost. The benefit to the crop cult
waited is more than enough to pay
for the outlay. The additional effect
of conservation of moisture is not to
be forgotten.
Weeds are also valuable for the
work they do in keeping the land in
the hands of the many. Were there
no weeds the cultivation of the land
could be undertaken on an immense
scale by men of wealth and mo-
nopoly in land would be possible. If
such monopoly were attempted at
this time, the cost of keeping the land
clean would make it impossible to
keep it under control.-Farmers' Re-
view. :. 1,ddt;.as,.

ONLY ONE VICTIM.
Jake BodovitE Refused to Pay the
Tax and Was Elected.

Capt. Jack Ellis, chief OF the In
dian police, was still here this
morning looking none the worse
from Saturdays proceedings. He
remarked that the merchants were
coming in one by one and paying
the tax and that he believed they
were men too sensible to further
resist. knowing that ejectment
would be the inevitable result.
Capt. Ellis came here clothed
with authority TO close the places
of business and eject from the ter
ritory several AIdmore merchants.
He was enjoined from closing their
places Of business by Judge Town
send, but the federal judge had no
authority to issue an injunction
against their ejectment and Capt.
Ellis said if the merchants had not
paid he surely would have begun
the work of ejectment.
"How came it that you had or
ders for the ejectment of SO few
when others have refused to pay?"
was querried. "Other Ardmore
firms were reported" said he "but
the full name of each member of
the firm was not given and no or
ders for their ejectment were is
sued" +"
Captain Ellis returned home to-
day to South McAlester. He was
accompanied as far as Oklahoma
City by Jake Bodoyitz, the only
business man who absolutely re-
fused to pay the tax. Jake will be
taken to Oklahoma City and re-
leased, and will probably return
on the morning train. 1t remains
TO be seen whether his refusal to
pay will subject him to any fur
ther annoyance.

CITIZENSHIP QUESTION.
Court of OfAppeals Holds Com
missions Decision Final,

According to to the terms OF an
opinion handed down by the
United States court Of appeals
yesterday, the question as to
whether or not a person claiming
to be a citizen of any of the Ave
civilized tribes is left entirely
with the commission to the
tribes, appointed by congress.
Federal courts will not interfere
with the work or decisions Of the
commission, which are intrusted
by congress with all business of
the five nations.
Mary Jane Kimberlin, plaintiff
In error, VS. the commission to the
five civilized tribes, is the title 10
the suit in which the important
decision was given. The plaintiff
in error sought to obtain a writ OF
mandamus against the commission
commanding it to enroll her as a
citizen of the Chickasaw nation.
The case came to trial in the
United States court in the Indian
Territory, and the application for
the writ was overruled.
Mary Jane Kimberlin was mar
ried in 1890 to William G.. Kimber-
lin. Kimberlin was konwn as
''squaw man." He had married
a Chickasaw woman by the name
of Lizzie Mitchell in 1870. This
first marriage gave him all the
rights Of Chickasaw. His first
wife died, and he married the
plaintiff, who is a fullblooded |
white woman.
In 1898 the commission revised
the list Of Chickasaw citizens, and
left her name off. She claimed
citizenship through her marriage
with Kimberlin, and sought to
compel the commission to recog-
nize her by means OF the federal
courts. The hearing came before
the Indian Territory court In Sep
tember, 1898, and a decision was
given against her. The court Of
appeals affirmed this decision. In
the opinion it ID clearly set forth
that whether a claimants right is
legal or not, it is not within the
jurisdiction of the federal courts
to interfere with the decisions Of
the commission MS appointed by con-
gress.

30 per cent. go for losses and 35 per-
cent for expenses, leaving a profit of 1O'
per cent, but this proportion for cost of
doing business, large as it Is, was far
outrun in 1899. Figures recently pub
lished show that the loss rate ran very
little short of SO per cent, and that
while the expense ratio fell a little be-
low the average, namely, 1888 per
cent, the total cost entailed upon the
insurance companies exceeded 1875 pee
cent. Out of 1853 companies doing bus.
mess in New York State the net excess
of loss and expenses over premiums
exceeded $5,00O,OOO. Moreover, thia
unsatisfactory result followed upon ant
other year in which the losses had al,
ready been high. This is very seri,
Gus matter, not only for the insurance
companies, but for business men
throughout the country. The present
disastrous conditions undoubtedly mean
considerably higher rates, and, in addii
to- l. are likely to put stop temporar,
lily, at least, to the rate cutting which
has been carried on SO freely in the
past. The entire subject is receiving
very careful consideration on the part
of the insurance companies.
