FIX UP OUR PARKS.
Hava a Suitable Place TO Spend The
Summer, Evenings in Pleasure.

While Vinita is on a boom in so
many different ways, our parks should
be put in proper condition. A town
that has as many visitors as Nlnita
does, should have a resort Of some
kind where all could 90 aod enjoy Il
a rest after work hours. 1t would not
take very great amount of money TO
put The south park in good condition
and it could be made drawing card.
From present indications, Vinita
will have a tip.top band this summer
second to none in the territory-and
the boys are anxious to have a place
to play at least three evenings out of
each week. Together with the band
and other amusements that could be
had people would most surely copgre-
gate there and enjoy themselves.
Nothing is impossible for Vinita
people to do and the park question
should be looked after at once.
The band boys are anxious to have
some suitable place to give concerts,
where women and children could feel
more at home than on our streets.
Someone give the park proposition
a start and keep it going
The band concert program will be
printed regularly in The Daily Chief
tain and their concerts will begin on
the street before very long.

Speaking of politics in munich
pal affairs, the Collinsyille News
wisely observes: "In business at-
fairs your politics should not be
known. When a person comes to
do piece of work for you do not
ask him what his politics are, for
if he is good workman you want
him, regardless of politics. A
hard factional or political fight in
town creates bitter feeling that
never becomes reconciIed. In ma
tional politics it is different. Each
party represents principal that
interests the nation"

HEIR TO THE CALF OF MAN.
An American who Tnherfts Little
Island Near the Isle of
Man.

Gerald N. Carey, heir apparent to
the little Kingdom Of the Calf of Man,
who has been working as AN assist
ant assayer at the lie Roi mine, Ross
land, British Columbia, was at the
New Markham hotel one day lately,
stopping in Denver, he said, to make
a hurried examination of mining ma
chinery. He was on his way to Eng
land and the little island off it's coast,
which is owned by his uncle, whose
heir Mr.. Carey is, says the Denver Re-
publican. He registered from Peal,
Isle Of Man, for the very good rea-
son, he explained, that there is no
town or city on the Leg Of Man, and
also that the family for several years
past has spent good deal of time
on the neighboring island where he
was born.
81 am going back to Mainland to
Join my uncle, w. L. Drinllwater
Carey. who. through the death of my
grandfather, has lately come into
ownership of the Leg of Man, said
Mr.. Carey "The little island is sep
arated from the Isle of Man by mar
row channel It is in reality a part
of Mainland. Tn old times the peo-
pie were the same and their laws
and customs and habits of life were
identical on both islands The Calf
of Man is much the smaller. My fa-
ther would have inherited the island,
as he was the eldest son. but he died
several years ago. I am my uncle's
heir. and some day 7 may be the
owner of the island. which we are
pleased to call a kingdom, although
it is not quite that.
"But we do claim absolute owner
ship of the island. even TO the min
erals that may be found and the
reason that my uncle has sent for me
at this time is that I have gained
some knowledge of minerals and min
ing since coming to America. and I
shall make a thorough exploration Of
the island to discover If there is min
eral in it. For a long time we have
thought that there was rich lode Of
silver running through the little do
main, and my uncle wants me TO
make a test Of It. If there is silver
in paying quantities, Of course. we
shall work it,
". L. Drinkwater Carey claims to
be more than a tenant Of the little
island. He has entered upon his lit
tie kingdom. which is smaller than
the principahty Of Monaco. not as a
tenant Of the Lady of Man." who is
Queen Victoria. for he claims abso-
lutte ownership. The island has been /
in the possession Of the Careys for
many generations, coming into the
family through a grant from King I
Edward as a reward for meriiorious !
service. There IS but one inhabited }

THE BLACK BULL, HoLBoRN.
A Famous Old London Inn Nearing
Its End.
(From the Pail Mall Gazette.


The Black Bull, Holborn is one of the
last survivors of famous old London inns,
and that house too. Is doomed. 1t is
strange that il has lived so long when the
nature Of the trade by which 1t was main
tanned has so entirely changed. 1t has
taken fifty years to accomplish its down
fall. The Black Bull was established
about 2G0 years ago, and from it for very
many years the stage coaches which jour
neyed to the eastern counties started.
Cambridge coach departed. The house
was a fine specimen of the old-fashioned
inn, with a gallery outside the first floor,
over the yard which the wings enclosed,
In that respect resembling the famous Tai
bot Inn in the Borough. and the Four
Swans Bishopsgate5 For many years,
however, this courtyard has not formed
part of the inn, and the rooms in which
so many generations Of travellers have
slept have been let out for lodgings. In
the old days of Holborn Valley, with
Snowhill rising on the east and Holborn
Hill on the west when a drag had to be
placed on omnibus wheels for the descent
and the steepuess of the road killed many
a brave horse, the Black Bull stood on the
rise, but the making of the Niaduct
brought the roadway TO a level with the
inn. One curious custom was long OBJ
served many a last glass of ale being sup
piled from the house to condemned crimi-
nails on their way TO Tyburn-their final
privilege in this world 1t is not unlikely
that new hotel may be built on the site
of this sixteenth century house: whether
IL will retain the black and gold bull for
a sign remains to be seen.

No matter where man may 60 or
what may befall him, he will never

hears the "whin" of rattlesnakc.
followed by the blood-curdling hiss
that denotes that the terrible crea-
ture is about to strike. The danger
from the rattlesnake is as great to-
day as il ever was, and the man who
starts alone down any rock canyon is
liable 90 meet one or more. General
IN speaking, the rattlesnake gives
warning when il is ready for business,
but il happens that this warning is
seldom given until the man Is quite
elose-often too close 10 escape. Of
almost the same color As the rocks.
the snake lies practically concealed
from view. and the first the traveller
knows OF it's presence Is the deadly
singing OF the rattles. Unless the
man has heard it before. he will not
be able TO locate il. The terrible
sound seems TO mingle with the sum

4 Pet Fox Terrier Did Not Relish
Being suppIanted In His
Masters Home.

Not long ago a very fat spaniel was
introduced into the house where a fox
terrier had always been the master.
The latter was told, however, to he
have -weiE the-HeA|eomer,- and not To
bully him. So the two seemed fairly
friendly and in the end got in the habit
OF taking short rambles together, says
the Buffalo Express.
However, the fox terrier was evil
IDENTIFY OF a thoughtful disposition. and
on one occasion came across a bank or
wall which was easy enough to leap off,
but there was greater difficulty i'm re-
turning. The fox terrier sprang down
the bank and enticed his heavy com
panioh TO follow. with the result that
the latter could not get back. while the
former. by reason Of his greater activ-
ity, was easily able 20 do so.
Now the terrier saw his opportunity.
returned home and cruelty left his
companion lamenting. Never did the
former seem happier or gayer than ON
that day when he had once more the
sole run Of the house. and he sulled
when later on the spaniel had been
found, assisted up the wall and
brought home.
Since then the fox terrier has repeat
eddy got the spaniel down the same
place. with the usual result, and seems
TO glory i'm his mischievous act Nheth
er the fiat dog will learn To avoid
temptation to such ramble remains
10 bc seen.
