Fishing.

Thompson, I've got the best boy
on earth.
"Next to mine if he wasn't so
blame fond of fishing"
''He likes it, eh?"
Likes it! Not day passes but
that kid wants me to 90 down to the
breakwater or out on the pier. I'm
a slave to him, that's what I am
Why, that kid smells fish in every
thing, eats fish, talks fish, goes to
bed fsn, wakes up fish. Doesn t
seem to think anything else is
worth mentioning. I'm getting
half afraid he'll change shape and
develop fins, and all OF a sudden,
Jump into the lake for that's where
his heart is. And the little rascal
dreams fish, too! Sometimes he'll
veil out in the middle of the night,
I've got bitel and begin hauling
in the bedclothes. His mother
does't like that, because there ism t
bedbug from cellar to garrett.
This morning says to him. Jack,
says I, (Which would you rather do
or 60 fishing?"
"Gee whiz! Go fishin,' says he as
quick as flash.
why don't you have him trepann-
ed?? Perhaps he's got water on the
brain.
"Well, if I do, we'll 90 to the
hospital together, for I'm pretty
near as looney on the subject as he
is.

King has Many Frien DIS

A very noticeable circumstance is
the number of distinguished people
political, official, diplomatic and
social-who have dined with his
majesty during his visit to Windsor
castle. This is especially remark
able because during the last reign
the late queen more often dined with
her family alone in the small dining
room called the oak room. The king
however, has introduced the prac-
tice of having a good sized dinner
party every day, in which are includ-
ed not only the members of the
royal family who are staying with
him, but all the other guests and
several members of the suite.

SHARE flleo ON COOP CLAIM.
Former Indian Agent Plays in Great
Luck in Kiowalsnd.

Asa c. Sharpe and George d. Day
were here this morning enroute from
Lawton 10 Baltimore, Md. Mr.. Sharpe
was asked if he had filed on claim,
having drawn No. 10, in the Lawton
district. He said that he had filed on
one Of the most desirable pieces Of
land in the new country, being the Dr.
Clark farm, near the Fort Sill Indian
boarding school, adjoining Cache
creek. Clark was an Indian interpre-
ter for years and made his home at
this point. The claim is highly inn
proved, has fruit trees and pecan
trees, gardens, wire fences, a fair
sized crop OF corn and cotton, in fact
u, is ready foi a modern farmer. When
asked If he anticipated any legal ques-
ton being raised as to his right to
take a claim, in view of his pending
case in the supreme court, Mr.. Sharpe
replied he had not the least fear that
he would have any trouble or opposi-
tion. He expects to be back in three
months to look after his matters lin
court and to be on his claim, where he
will reside in the future, If successful
in his appeal in the supreme court.
II will be remembered that recently
Mr.. Sharpe was prosecuted in the
Noble county district court on the
charge of bribery and convicted and
sentenced This trouble originated
when he was Indian agent Of the
Ponca Indians.

CLIQUE RULE IN rAE NAVY.

The rule Of the clique appears to
predominant in the navy department
to a greater degree than in any other
subordinate division of the administra-
tion.
1t is bad enough in the war depart
ment as was shown when the con
splracIes against Gen. Miles were ex.
posed, but it is worse in the navy de-
partment.
1t now appears that Admiral Howl
son, selected for the third member
Of the schley naval court has dis
qualified himself to sit in fair trial.
He is a violent partisan Of Sampson
and has expressed opinions regarding
the Santiago campaign witch make
it lmpraeticarle for him o render an
honest Judgment in the case.
It must have been known to the
Sampson clique that Howison had ex
pressed decided opinions on the sub
iect to be tried by the court, for they
hfariously expressed their satisfac-
tion with the selection that had been
made schley alone did not know that
a prejudicial Judge had been chosen
to sit in the case. In ignorance of the
facts he announced that Howison
would he unobiectionable to him As
he has acquired information he has
probably changed his views in the
matter
The ramiacations of clique lntrig-
ues IN the navy department must ex
tend throughout all its bureaus and
hrarohes The bias Of the heads OF
department has been so impressed on
all their subordinates that, out Of six
ty rear admirals on he active and re
tired lists, it is with the greatest diff
hculty that three fair and impartial
men can be found to try the schle,
case, 1t is national scandal and IN
deoency
No doubt there was an intention
from the start TO pack the cour
against schley as the army court wa'
packed against Miles when the "sm
balmed" beef charges were tried Th'
fact that schley could object to any
member OF the court prevented the ac
complishment Of this rascally design
but they almost succeeded IA slipping
