PORTER'S MESSAGE,
Greek People AdmOniShed to
Submit to the Inevitable.

Chief Pleasant Porter delivered
his annual message to the Creel
council at Okmulgee Tuesday
After the general introduction
Chief Porter said:
Having thus briefly called your
attention TO the conduct Of affairs
of the nation from the time Of my
taking office, and other matters
and things that have had bear
ing upon the administration OF
those affairs, / now deem it in
cumbent upon me to offer such ad-
visory suggestions as have in the
meantime presented themselves to
me. More especially do / feel it
my duty to do this when / appres
ciate the TACT that am not per-
mitted TO exercise the functions OF
an executive power, except TO as
sent and dissent from the methods
proposed and pursued by the de-
partments of the government Of
the United States in its admins
tration of our affairs.
n
The effort to resuscitate and re-
establish government admins
tered by ourselves thus far has
proved futile, and the outlook is
extremely unfayorable to the sue
cess in ever again recovering even
the most limited fonm of tribal
government.
Assuming this TO be true, it be-
hooves US to cast about and find
what is best for us to do. In de-
termining this question it would
be best for US to note the immed-
late conditions and environments
and what is transpiring today.
Government over as is admin
istered by the United States; our
lands patented to us as a tribe or
nation are being allotted to the in
dividual members of the tribe un-
der authority Of law Of congress.
1t is true that it is admitted that
the title to the lands can not be
segregated without an agreement
with US so to do. The lands of
the tribe were patented to the ma
tioE in fullfillment of treaties
mutually agreed upon by and be-
Y zen the United States and the
Creek nation, and their partition
can not be lawfully made except |
by mutual consent Of the contract
ing parties, therefore a treaty or
agreement in the lawful and usual
manner will be seen to be of the
highest importance.
Attention has been called to the
fact that more than two-thirds of
the Creek people have made Sc
leetions Of allotments Of the use OF
the surface Of the land under the
provisions Of the Curtis act, and
have received certificates from the
Dawes commission for such certifi.
Gates. This conclusively shows
that the Creek people individually
have sssented TO and accept the al
lotment and partition Of their
lands, and in so doing it cannot be
doubted but that they were guided
by the unfolding light Of events in
advance Of any positive agreement

This is what has been transpir-

many millions of homes and fam

men-men just like ourselves.
Men with hearts, brains, physical

This being so, there can be no
doubt as to our ability to do and

In doing this we will fulfill the

The origin of the Turkish crescent is
lost in antiquity. AS the emblem of
progress and increase it figures in the
warship of Astarte, the chief goddess
of the Ph9nician Pantheon, who un-
der various names was adered by ev-
cry Semitic race. 1t is not, therefore,
surprising that the crescent should be
the chosen emblem Of a conquering and
spreading people. The hordes of Gen
ghiz Khan carried 1t on their banners
from the great wall Of China to the
Indus and the Volga in the thirteenth
century, yet these were Mongols and
enemies of the very people with whom
the crescent is generally associated.
The Ottoman Turks, who first got
lands in Asia as reward for assisting
the Seljuks against the Mongols, seem
from the first arrival in these regions
to have displayed the well known sym
boil. 1t appeared on the banners of the
janissaries of the Sultan Orkhan, in
the fourteenth century, and subse-
Quently the crusades fixed it in the
eyes of Christendom as the counter
emblem to the cross. 1t is sometimes
held that the Turks borrowed the cres-
cent from the Byzantine Greeks, but
this is evidently not the case. On the
contrary, the Greeks had probably at
an early period adopted it with other
religious symbols and ideas from the
east.

One day a young Swede, a student
at the University of Berlin, received a
letter from his uncle saying that his
daughter, the young mans cousin,
would stop in Berlin for few days on
her way to Ems and would he kindly
meet her and show her the city. The
mail coach arrived and with it the
young lady, who found fine looking
young fellow with vivid boutonniere
awaiting her arrival. He accompanied
her to the hotel The following morn
ing he called and took her driving in
an elegant brougham. These atten-
lions continued during the three days
of her visit. The lady appeared over
joyed at the gallantry of this cousin,
whom she had never met before.
On the day of her departure, while
assisting her into the mail coach, the
young man said, 81 cannot let you de-
part without making a confession"
The lady blushed and dropped her
eyes. 81 must tell you that l am not
your cousin. Your cousin is friend of
mine. He had no time to accompany
you, having to cram for his examina-
lions, so he babe me take his place"
"In heavens name, who are you,
then?" cried the lady.
The young man handed her his card.
The position blew his trumpet, the
mail coach rolled away, as the young
lady read this name on the card "Otto
Won Bismarck "-Current Literature.

Worse Than Death valley.

Dreadful as Death valley is, its north
western arm, known as Mesquite val
ley, is worse. All the waters upon it's
surface are poison, and down through
the canyon a hot, suffocating wind
blows with terrible velocity. During
its course through the desert 1t fre-
quently gathers clouds of white sand
that have blinded many a horse and
rider, and at frequent intervals it
whirls down the canyon like cyclone
Of sharp crystals. Under the glisten-
ing beds of salt and borax are conceal
ed streams of salt water which flow
sluggishly toward some unknown out
let or may be Tapped up by the parched
winds.
One of the strangest phenomena of
this extraordinary place is what from
tiersmen, for want of better name,
have called raising earth" By the
action of the sun crust composed of
minerals and clay has been formed on
the surface, and by some curious pres
sure of nature has been lifted from the
earth in irregular curves like pie crust
in the oven. The cavity between this
crust and the solid earth varies from
one to ten feet, and the depth frequent
ly changes after heavy windstorms by
the displacement of the air beneath.
The man or the animal that steps upon
this crust is gone forever. 1t is abso-
lutely impossible for any one to extri-
cate himself when plunging about in
the raising earth. Chicago Record.

How Long Do You sleep'

"The old rule of eight hours sleep is
sheer nonsense" said a New Orleans
physician. Natural sleep is something
that can't be regulated by any formula.
The body takes what it needs, be 1t
much or little, and the necessary
amount varies with the individual. In
a general way would say that four
hours is the minimum and ten hours
the maximum for people in fair health.
Either more or less is pretty sure
sign that something is out of gear
usually something in the brain.
81 have two patients who sleep only
four hours and keep in tolerably good
condition. Both are middle aged men,
and neither of them works very hard.
They are simply so constituted that
nature can repair its losses in four
hours of Inconsistencies. In many
other people nearly three times as long
is required. The nerve cells work
more slowly; why, nobody knows.
1.-THE queerest case that ever came
under my personal observation was
that of bookkeeper of this city who
used to sleep two or three hours a
night through the week and on Sun
day would catch up in 20 hour nap.
That is no exaggeration, but an actual
fact well known to all his intlmates.
He seemed to be able to store away
nervous energy as camel stores wa
ter. His general health during the IL
or Is wears knew him was excellent"
New Orleans Times Democrat.

The .jests Of Heliogabulus were very
practical. He was fond of inviting
people with some physical deformity
to dinner and making jokes about
them. At times he would invite doz-
en- hunchbacks or a score Of squirting
ladies or an equal number of baldheads.
Once he put large number Of excess
sively fat people, all very hungry, into
a small chamber where dinner was
waiting. There was no room to eat 1t.
Another diversion of which he was
fond was that of placing his guests on
air sofas, so that when they were about
to drink he could let the air out and
have both sofa and guest collapse.
It is said that Nero. the Roman eni-
peror, liked to "shy'' nuts at the bald
heads of the pr@tors who sat below
during the performance at the theater,
and they were expected to maintain
their baldheaded dignity and refrain
from 'shying" them back at him.

The Modern world.

Compare the condition of our people
with that which prevailed before the
aggregation of wealth and intelligence
in the development of industries, when
wealth was obtained by conquest, not
by industry. when the masses had meat
but once a week. when their houses
were without chimneys and without
windows. when their clothing and sur
roundings were filthy, when the death
rate was double what it is today, and
you go back to a time when the nobil-
ity knew less of the world than the la
boring man of today; when the present
necessities of the masses were luxuries
only for the rich, and you realize that
the emancipation proclamations were
written by Watt and Arkwright, Ste
phenson and Fulton, Franklin and
Morse and Bessemer and the great or
ganizers who have applied their dis
coveries and distributed the benefits of
their inventions to the whole world

a great many other guests. After din

was asked if he would not play some
thing" He said he had not brought
his violin with him. But Flood would
not take that hint and insisted on send
ing to- the maestro's hotel for the vio-
lin and did send, and the owner played
on it and responded to two or three en-
cores. When he had done, he laid
aside the violin, put his hand into his

threw it on the piano and said: "Now,

A LAUGH IN CHURCH.

She sat on the sliding cushion,
The dear, wee woman of four.
Her feet, in their shiny slippers,
Hung dangling over the floor.
She .szeant to be good-she had promised
Assa so, with her big, brown eyes,
She stared at the meeting house windows
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far up at the preacher,
But she thought of the honeybees
Droning away at the blossoms
That whitened the cherry trees;
She thought of broken basket
Where, curled In dusky heap,
Three sleek. round puppies with fringy cara
Lay Struggled and fast asleep.
Such soft, warm bodies to cuddle;
Such queer little hearts to beat;
Such swift, round tongues to kiss;
Such sprawling, cushiony feeti
She could feel in her clasping fingers
The touch of the satiny skin
And cold, wet nose exploring
The dimples under her chin.
Then sudden ripple of laughter
Ran over the parted lips
So quick that she could not catch it
With her rosy finger tips.
The people whispered, 'tBless the childF'
As each one walked from a nap,
But the dear, wee woman hid her face
For shame in her mothers lap.

A lady who has recently returned

at the little town Of Dinant In Bel
GUM. She was travelling in party OF
three, including another lady and
young man. They sought accommoda-
ton at hotel and were shown a room
in which there were three beds and on
a deal table three basins and jugs about
as big as STOP basins and milk jugs.
The ladies explained that one room
was quite insufficient for their needs,
but it was a long time before they
could get the hostess to understand
why. They were then shown another
room with three beds, three, slop ba-
sins and three milk jugs and were told
that they could have that, too, If they
liked to pay for the six beds. 1t was
therefore arranged that the man should
have one room and three beds and the
ladies' the other room and three beds.
