Have the Georgia girls noticed that.
according to the census figures, there
are not men enough in the state to go
around; that, as a matter of fact, there
are nearly 11.000 more women than
men? The meaning of this, of course,
is that girl has less than an even
chance of getting a proposal. assuming
that the chances are limited to Geor-
gia boys. This is a serious condition
for any sweet girl graduate to contem-
plate, and suggests the advisability of
the employment of a fine degree of tact
in dealing with the so-called stern sex.

NOT A LOTTERY.

The government is showing itself a
a little sensitive TO the criticisms of
it's plan for distributing the lands of the
Kiowa, Comanche and Wichita reser-
vations. The plan is very generally re-
ferred to as lottery, and it does have
some resemblance to it. If II were a
lottery it would violate the anti-lottery
law
The government officials who have
the land matter in charge. however, say
that while there is an element of
chance in the plan 1t cannot be said
that the plan is lottery because those
who are seeking the prizes contribute
nothing towards the prizes. In a lot
terry the money from which the prizes
are paid is contributed by those who
seek the prizes. In the land distribu-
tion plan the government provides all
the prizes. The plan simply determines
who shall have them
1t is estimated that there will be
about $4,000 applicants for the $4,000
homesteads which are in the three res
ervations. OF course somebody is go
ing to be disappointed. There are not
homesteads for all. The applicants are
being registered now at two places,
namely Fort Reno and Lawton Land.
Each applicant is given a card which
contains his age, description and quail
ifications. These cards are placed in
plain envelopes which are unmarked.
All of the envelopes are then placed in
a receptacle and drawn out, one by
one. by a committee chosen by the
Secretary of the Interior. AS they are
drawn they are numbered /, 2, 3, and
until $1,000 are drawn. Those whose
names are on the cards which are
drawn will be permitted to enter claims
in the order of the numbers which they
hold. The person holding the envelope
first drawn will have the first choice
of all of the $4,000 homesteads. 1t is
pretty safe to say that the person who
draws the 13.000th choice will not get a
very good homestead. All the best
ones will be taken long before the 49,
00Oth applicant has a chance 10 make
a choice. He. at least, and perhaps sew
eral hundred others, will think the plan
is a lottery IN which there are no
prizes. The thousands who fail to get
card will have all of their trouble
for nothing. In that respect they
will be like those who play the lottery
and never win prize. There are going
to be some disappointed people on

Even in this section we are likely
to feel the effect of the drought in the
West before a great while. 1t is prac-
tically sure that the price of beef and
other meats will be advanced, because
Of the scarcity of hay and other for
age crops. In the last three months
prices have risen from 60 to IS cents
on the hundred in Chicago, and stead
lily increasing prices are looked for.
That consumers in Georgia should be
effected would seem to be against the
natural order of things. We have fine
cattle ranges in this state that are
never hurt by droughts. Our cane
brakes and rich bottom lands are of
sufficient area TO furnish beef cattle
for dozen states; nevertheless we go
right along paying fancy prices for
Western beef. and suffering an ad-
vance in prices whenever there is any
untoward occurrence in the West TO
reduce the supply. If we couldn't live
at home there would be some excuse
for that sort of thing

WHAT THE CHINESE WORSHIP.
The Religion of the MongoIians Ia
q Mere Form, Their DeitieA
Are Indefinite.

The only religious worship the aver
age Chinaman performs, aside from
ancestral rites, is prostration and
an offering ito Heaven and earth" on
the first and 18th of each moon, or in
some cases on the beginning of each
new year. No prayer is uttered, and
after time the offering is removed
and, as in other cases, eaten.
What is II that at such times the
Chinese people worship? Sometimes
they affirm that the object of worship
is Heaven and earth" Sometimes
they say that it is Heaven" and
again they call it "the Old Man of
the Sky" Qato t'ien yeh). The latter
term has led to an inference that the
Chinese do have a real perception Of
personal delty. But when it is as
certained for this supposed "person"
is frequently matched by another
called Grandmother Earth" (ti mu
naimaD the correctness of the infer
ence is open to serious question. The
word "heaven" is, it is true, often used
in the Chinese classics in such a way
as to convey the idea of personality
and will. But it is likewise employed
in manner which suggests very lit
tie of either. Heaven is principle"
the vagceness of the term is obvious.
To this ambiguity in classical use cor
responds the looseness of meaning
given to it in everyday life. The Chi
naman who has Deen worshiping
Heaven upon being pressed to know
what he means by heaven" will fre-
quently reply that it is the blue ex-
panse above. His worship is, therefore,
in harmony with nature, either indi-
vidually or collectively. His creed
may be described in Emersonian
phrases as zone with the blowing
clover and the falling rain" In other
words, he is pantheist.

A SPEAKING WORD.
An 0ia-Paahioned Term That Needs
20 he Reinstated In Our
Language,

The word "genteel" in our latter-day
style seems to have been displaced, and
we seldom hear IL used with its fullest
sense in modern society. Yet there was
time when it seemed Indispensable,
says Mary r. Baldwin, in Woman's
Home Companion. There was no other
word in the language that answered as
a substitute in all the shades of mean
ing which it conveyed. 1t meant some
thing more and something less than
any of the various terms used to de-
scribe person who possesses COM
bination of style, grace, good manners
and gentle breeding. Entering n room
of attractive, well-mannered women,
one selects from the number the person
who owns distinct individuality, a
something that distinguishes her from
the others present. She is superior to
the petty tyrannies of conventionality;
you see proof of the fact in her man
ner, her conversation and in her dress.
Her clear, truthful, reposeful counte-
nance is mirror for the mind and
heart that select their own nourish-
ment, and refuse to accept intellectual
fads, floating fancies of the hour or re-
ligious makeshifts. Her gown is her
own by instructive selection, and moth
ing is left that should be desired. 1t
follows the line of the fashion of the
times, with something besides that Is
indetinable added. She is the genteel
woman of our grandmother's day, who
remains regal in her womanliness, SUI
perior to circumstance and condition.
An uncultivated man, as related to
choice of expression, in speaking in
praise of his mother, remarked: "She
was lady when she washed her
dishes" He probably did not imagine
how forcibly he illustrated his truth.
But one who listened to the worshipful
words could not help wondering how
many women with the best opportuni-
ties for acquiring desirable things for
the enrichment of personality could
stand the dish-washing test. 1t seems
to me there is crying need for the re-
instatement of the old school word in
our social vocabulary, and the sooner
1t is brought back into general use the
better, 1t would be sad cynicism to
infer that the passing of the word gen
teel' was due to the passing of the par
ticular type which it described.

last week, by which Abel Sedillo.
whose long career of crime is well
known was killed, and Duran
wounded and captured.
The encounter occurred at a
ranch near Isleta, where Williams
and deputies Cooper and Barela
had secroted themselves. The Of
fcers had previously learned that
the outlaws had sold twenty FIVE
head of stolen cattle to the Indians
at lsleta and were expected to
come north via the rauch six miles
away.

ranch for water and dismounted
The officers promptly covered them
with their weapons and ordered
them TO surrender.
Paying no attention to Williams
command both the men drew their
weapons and attempted to shoot
their way out of the trap, into
which they had fallen. Many shots
were exchanged. Sedillo went
down at the first volley, mortally
wounded and Duran fell with his
leg broken. Both horses belong
