Two Kinda of Enro,

Two Kinda OF Earos
Aunt Hetty had way Of looking into
the children's rooms after the folks
had all gone to bed. She did this to see
IL the little ones were comfortable.
1t was summer time, and one night
her nephew Charlie, who had come
from the city OH a visit, was tucked
away in one Of the little beds upstairs.
Charlie was not asleep, and the sight
Of Aunt Hetty coming In with lighted
candle in her hand made him open his
bright eyes wider.
II hope you are not Ill. my dear?'
asked aunty, going to the little white
he'd.
mo. indeed" said Charlie, smiling.
I'm listening to the noise. It's nice
noise, though" he added. thoughtfully,
for fear his criticism of his surround
ings might offend. This, by the way,
was Charles first visit to the country.
Aunt Hetty looked a little astonish-
ed. "Why, It's as quiet as can be-" she
said. perhaps you have been dream
ing. What kind Of noise did you
tDlnk you ueuru!
1T goes whiz, whiz, cheep, cheep,
cheep-i-ty, cheep-i-ty, and buzz, buz-z-z,
all the time," said Charlie, initiating
the sounds that he heard.
Aunt Hetty smiled. "Ah, these are
country noises, Charlie. Numberless
little insects live In the trees and shrub
berry, you know, and they are all astir
now. You will get used to the sound
after a while, and not notice it."
The next day some one referred to
the noise that had kept Charlie awake,
and this made Cousin Mabel laugh.
ITO think of city boy talking about
the noise of the country she said.
I'm sure where you live It's rattle,
rattle over the stony pavements from
early morning till late at night. Won
der how you can sleep at home"
II don't believe ever hear the big
ncises," said Charlie, with puzzled
air.
And then Aunt Hetty explained some
thing that no one else had thought of.
Charlie has city ears" she said. HE
is so accustomed to the rattling, loud
noises Of the streets that he doesn't
think Of listening to them; but here In
the country quietness he hears every
thing. Mabel and the rest Of US have
country ears, so we don't hear the
noises of the insects at night; or rather,
we don't notice them because we hear
them so constantly. Yes, there are two
kinds Of ears, and 1t is good for those
with country ears to be told how many
noises there are for them to listen to.
Some Of these noises are musical. and
all of them are interesting. Suppose we
all try for while to hear country
noises with city ears."-Youth's Com

Tumble Bugs as Barometers,

Country folk are firmly Of the opin.
ion that the tumble bug (geotrypes ster-
corarius) is an excellent barometer and
that it takes flight only when season
of fair weather is coming. NJ. Fabre. q
French naturalist, has investigated the
question thoroughly and has come to
the conclusion, that this insect Is, In
fact, more sensitive than the best ba.
rometers, and that it can veritably be
used to predict fine weather. 1t is to
changes of electric tension that the In.
sect Is sensitive.

she had said, nor where we were.

minute or two Of troubled silence

She bowed hor head still lower upon
her hands. In speechless confirmation. A
stricken, helpless, covering child she
seemed to me, standing there in her
drenched clothing. An unutterable ten

feverish love Of a few minutes ago, filled
my heart as looked at her.
"Come," said. as calmly a. I could

THE LATEST.

At 4 O'Clock those gentlemen in
Tahlequah who we're the leaders
in the movement to ratify the
treaty conceded its rejection AT
the same time a telephone com
m~unication stated that the marjor-
ity against the treaty in Illinois was
305 and that the majority Of 165
in Tahlequah for the treaty repre-
sented the majority in the entire
Tahlequvh district. The Sequoy-
alb district returned a majority Of
25 in favor Of the treaty. In the
Canadian district full returns give
a majority Of go for ratification.

GIVE US JUSTICE.

Every legitimate means shoult
now be employed to inform the
outside world and more especially
the members of the United States
congress as to the true conditions
as they exist in the Cherokee Ma
ton. Strangers coming into the
country are woefully misinformed
relative to the status of the citi-
zens of the Cherokee Nation. The
false information has been spread
abroad that the Indians are OPP
posed to the allotment and relin.
quishment of their tribal govern
ment. The fact is the Cherokee
people are very anxious for a set
Element and they want it to be
final. They simply want that
which is theirs by right OF pur-
chase. Whatever of value there
is in the land, or under the land
b elongs to them and they refuse
by treaty or otherwise to give it
up. They demand a fair and equal
division of their property hitherto
held in common. They want no.
thing more than a white man IN
the states would multiplication
to their property-and they are
citizens OF the United States and
feel entitled to the protection of
its court and its flag. The state
ment that the Cherokees are con-
trary and unreasonable is a lie,
and congress and all the world
should be so informed.
The Dawes Commisson as a new
constituent is an absolute detri-
ment and a hindrance to the cause
they represent. The commission
has outlived its usefulness, and
has lost the confidence of the PEG
pie whose rights they are dealing
SO carelessly with. What the
Cherokees need most at this time
is a full and fair hearing in con
gress, and a chance 10 prove that
they only want a fair division OF
their own property.

Results of the election are very

railroads. Enough has been re-

all doubt that the treaty failed of
ratification by a substantial ma

Complete returns were received
from the Illinois district which
gave a majority of 205 against the
treaty.
The contest in other precincts

AS result of the changeable eli
mate, catarrh has become one of the
most prevalent and universal dis
eases known to man. Nearly one
third of the people of the United
States are afflicted with catarrh in
some of its many phases and stages.
Add to this the TACT that catarrh rap
idly tends to become fixed or chronic.
also the further fact that 1t is ca
pable OF producing a great many
other diseases, and we begin to real
:ze the true nature of this dread dis
case.
So formidable has catarrh become
that in every city or town of any
size numerous doctors are to be
found who make the treatment OF ca
tarrh a speciality. OF course great
deal of good is accomplished in this
way, but as yet comparatively
small number of the people can avail
themselves of this treatment be-
cause of the great expense necessa-
rily attached to it.
