RICHARD C. ADAMS.


John Bullette the Twenty-fifth section
of the Curtis bill became law. It
provides that before any allotment
shall be made of lands in the Cherok II
nation. there shall be segregated there.
from, by the commission heretofore
mentioned, in separate allotments or
otherwise, the Isl, 900 acres of land
purchased by the Delaware tribe Of
Indians from the Cherokee nation, I'M

Mr.. Adams claims, has not 'leen don,y.
although it has been demanded. The
questions as to the rights Cs the Della
wares are now in the Courtgof Claims.
II their contention Is sustained, that
the lands which the various mineral
syndicates desire to secure possession
of are Delaware lands, the Cherokees
cannot make the leases. But the Della
wares fear that these leases may be
executed by the secretary of the in
terror without awaiting the decision Of
the court. .54

last little homes in the Indian Terri

no organic symmetry in the narrative
that is ingrained with oath. and the bias.
phemy that holsters an opinion does no
make it any more correct. Nay, of these
expletive argues limited range OF ideas,
and consciousness OF being on the wrong
side, and if We can find no other phrase
through which to vent sour choking pas
sion.
Again, profaneness is a mean vice. 1t
indicates the grossest ingratitude. Accor-
ding 10 general estimation, he who repays
kindness with contumely. he who abuses
his friend and benefactor, is deemed pitt
full and wletched.
And yet, o profane man, whose name
is it you handle so lightly? 1t is that OF
your benefactor. You, whose blood
would boil to hear the venerable names
of your earthly parents hurled about in
SCOTS, jest and abuse, without compun-
ction and without thought name of your
Heavenly Father.
Finally, profsneness is an awful vice.
Once more, ask, whose name is it you
so lightly use? That name of Ged-haye
you ever pondered Its meaning? Have
you ever thought what it is that you
mingle thus with your passion and wit?
1t is the name of Him whom Angles wor-
ship, and whom the heavens cannot con-
tain.
Profane man and woman, though the
habit be ever so strength, when the word
of mockery and blasphemy is about to
leap from your lips, think of God, and
instead Of the rude oath, bow your head
in silent prayer for mercy, deliverance
and forgiveness.

Buffalo Intelligence.

New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch:
A big bull buffalo had an injured leg,
and it was operated on with cocoaine
and antiseptics. few days ago. 1t
was not an easy task for the veterin-
airy surgeons, because a buffalo Is q
powerful animal, and he does not like
any one to take liberties with him.
But the operation was performed and
the buffalo evidently felt better after
1t. Now the great creature goes will
1ngly to the side of his cage when the
surgeons approach. He knows them
and remembers that they relieved him,
and there is no sign of anything but
pleasure on his part when he sees
them.

Why the Leaves Turn

The common and oldfashioned idea
Is that the tints of autumn foliage are
caused by frost. Stated briefly. the
causes are these: The green matter In
the tissue of leaf is composed of two
colors, red and blue. When the sap
ceases to flow in the autumn and the
natural growth Of the tree ceases,
oxidation of the tissue takes place.
Under certain conditions the green
leaf changes to red; under different
conditions it takes on a yellow or
brown tint-due to difference in COM
bination of the original constituents
Of the green tissue, end to the vary
ing conditions Of climate, exposure and
soil. A dry, cold climate produces
more brilliant foliage than one that Is
damp and warm. This is the reason
that our American autumns are 80
much more gorgeous than those OF
England

TRANsYAAL Loss OF Life,

Morahsts are discussing the ter
rible loss of life brought about by
the Transvaal war. Yet here life is
sacrificed for a purpose-tor an hon
est principle. 1t we're better to
preach against the needless sacri-
ice of life. Thousands of people
succumb to ailments which might
easily have been checked in the be-
ginning, Dyspepsia carries off more
people than are killed in war. The
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
would save many lives. Constipa-
tion may seem a little thing, but it
invariably develops into something
worse, and the longer it is allowed
to run, the harder it is to cure. The
bitters cures Indigestion, constipa-
ton, dyspepsia and biliousness, nat
urally and permanently, without
shocking the system. 1t is good for
everybody.

much difference, but they get the
