I've ben countn' up my olesstn's, I've ben summin' up my woes
But 1 amt got tn conclusion sum would naturally suppose.
Why I quit a countin' troubles fore I had half a score,
While tn more 1 count my bessins 1 keep fndn' more an more
There's been things that want exactly a I thought they'd ought t be-
And I've often growed at Providence fer not a petin' me;
But 1 hadn't stopped t. reckon what tn other side had ben,
So I guess it want correct the way 1 calkerlated then.
Fer there's ben a gift o. sunshine after every shower O. tears,
And I've found a load o. laughter scattered all along tn years,
If tn thorns have pncked me sometimes, I've good reasons to suppose
Love has hid EN- often from me meath the rapture of tn rose
So I'm gdn' t. still be thankful fer TIL sunshine and tn rain,
Fer tn JOY that's made me happy; fer tn purgin done by pain;
Fer tn love of little children; fer the friends tibet have ben true;
Fer tn guidn' Hand that's led MT evry threatnin' danger through.
I'm rejohtn in tn mercy that car take my sins away,
In tn Love that gives me courage in tn thickest of the fray.
I'm thankful fer tn goodness that from heaven folers me
o. how happy and how thankful 1 for ever ought t. be.
So jest let us count our blesIn's as we're journeyin' along,
Then weu find less time fer growltn, and more fer mirth and song
When you lift your eyes t. heaven earthly shadows flee away
Let us learn this lovn' lesson as we keep Thanksgtvin' Day

VICE o WRIGHT.

There are rumors, emanating from
good sources, that the appointment OF
Luke E. Wright as temporary COVER
nor Of the Philippine Islands, may
eventually be made permanent. AT
present Judge Taft is i'll and the duties
Of the office had, of necessity, to be
placed in other hands. AS a member
of the Philippine Commission, Luke
Wright was a natural successor. Now
it is said that Taft and Gen. Chaffee
are not wholly in accord, and that,
even in the event of the formers
speedy recovery, it is not at all certain

The Oklahoma Indian women are
not the most beautiful creatures in eX-
i%stence. yet solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these"
Many women of the Kiowa. Com
manche, Arapahoe and Ponca tribes
have dresses costing from $3.50 to
$1,000 apiece. They are not made in
what we should call the latest styles;
the decorations are what count.
The squaws' money is nearly all
spent in purchasing costly ornaments
for their clothing. These ornaments
are in the shape Of jewelry and prec-
ious stones. elk teeth and pearls. lt is
nothing out of the common to see an
Indian girl walking around over her
reservation with $500 worth of elk
teeth tied to her dress in decorative
style. Again, a twO-carat diamond is
no curiosity TO these dusky bellies. Most
of the dresses are made from soft
buckskin lined with silk or satin. Red
satin is a great favorite for dress lin
ing and shirtwaists among the Indian
women. Yellow silk is another of their
favorites, but violet was the prevail
ing color this year. Next year the In
dian woman who leads the fashion will
decree a new and tlashy color to be the
u%p-to-date thing, and. of course, all Of
the women will follow her.
Society as we name it is a thing I'M
known among the reservation Indian
women. but they have n certain envy
of social standing just the same. When
they come to the small towns on trad
ing days there may be assembled sew
eral hundred Of the ono from var
iOus parts of the country, and they
gather in the agency and talk over
events among themselves, gossip upon
the scandals and rail against the
whites for hours at a time.
1t is during this function that they
may be seen in their best dress, and
each one tries to Guido her neighbOrs
in ornaments. The more elk teeth one
has on her dress the more popular she
is at these weekly meetings at the
agency buildings. They examine each
others dresses carefully and freely eX-
press to the wearer opinions upon the
quality and cost. If a dress meets with
the disapprOval of one she has no hest
fancy about saying SO to the owner Of
such dress, who retorts as she sees fit.
Sometimes open %quarrels ensue at
these sessions because some IN
has been too bold in her criticism. Be
fore they 20 home they take a vote on
the dresses and the owner Of the best
is crowned leader of fashion for the
next week, and all must refrain from
criticiZing her dress. During the ensu-
ing weak there is a great race to out
shine her garments, and this is gem
orally accomplished, no matter how
hard she may have striven to hold her

The veteran academician, Sidney
Cooper, has just entered upon his
ninety-ninth year, and still paints a
few hours daily. A series of his
works was recently exhibited in Lon
don. In France also a remarkable in

he has reached the age which gives
a man a right to rest. Jules Verne has
begun his ninety-ninth book, and has
lived to see many of his fantasti-
cal tales Of adventure by land and sea

possibility. AS age is not without its
achievements, so it need not be with

BERLlN's CLEAN STREETS.

Our cities Might Well Take Them as
Models.
All the good things in the world are
not confined to the United States. Eu-
rope in some respects sets an example
that is well worthy of imitation. For
instance, in Berlin the streets are
washed and scrubbed each night like
a kitchen floor, and fine, sharp sand is
sprinkled over the surface so that the
asphalt is not slippery. Each white
wings" has his own section of street to
attend to and for it he is held respon-
sible. He is paid only . cents an
hour, but he gets a premium ut the end
of each week. the amount depending
upon how many good marks the in
spector has placed against his name.

In giving organs to $50 churches
IN Scotland at a cost of nearly a mil
lion Of dollars, Mr.. Andrew Carnegie
has but followed a hint given by two
famous Americans. When Moody and
Sankey first went to Scotland the novel
feature of an evangelist singing to a
small America organ. created much
comment. So simple and catching
were Mr.. Sankey's tunes, however,
that they we're resung in every village
from Kirkmaiden to John O'Groats,
and the call for small American or
gans on which to try the tunes"
came by the hundred. 1t is interesting
to add that nearly thirty thousand dol
lars in British royalties on the Moody
and Sankey hymns being refused by
the evangelists. the Scottish committee
turned it over to the Moody church in
Chicago. AS a Scotch-American to
Scotchmen, Mr.. Carnegie has certainly
repaid their just generosity.

The robbery Of a sum of money,
many jewels. and other valuables, rep
resenting altogether a sum of $50, 900,
was carried out the other day in the
Rue Quincampoix, Paris. in a most
%audacious fashion. The burglars took
an apartment on the fifth floor of the
house on Saturday, paying S55 as their
first installment of rent. The next
day they bored a hole through the
floor into the apartment Immediately
below while the tenants were away
spending the day in the country.
When these unfortunate people return
ed at night they found their safe
blown open, their rooms in confusion,
their money and jowelry gone, and the
robbers escaped.

Another disaster, similar to that
which occurred two years ago., has be-
fallen the Welsh colonist in Patagonia.
The River Gamwy has once again
overlooked its banks. The harvest had
not been gathered, and the people had
TO fly to the mountains. BY a great
effort the embankment on the north
ern side of the valley has been kept in
tact. Lower down the river flooded
over many farms. The place was like
a sea; the embankment had to be bro
ken down to allow the water to go
lack into the river, and it ebbed
gradually. At Gaiman great efforts
were made to safeguard the houses.
but the river ros higher than it did
two years ago. and flooded three-quar-
ters OF the whole valley. Only three
houses are reported to have collapsed
in this locality, but the whole of the
years crops are practically ruined.
The colonists have held a meeting,
asking the Argentine government to
grant them land on the hills on each
side OF the valley, where they could
escape in case of need. It was also
resolved to ask the government to
relieve those who are in need, to as
sist the ~colOnists generally in making
good the damage, and to take measures
to protect them against further floods.
The breaches in the e%mbankment are
being filled up, but a good many colo
nists declare that they will emigrate to
Canada.

1t is noteworthy that of the men and
women mentioned in the recent edition
of Who's Who in America" ffty-nine
per cent Of those whose education is
known are college graduates, and sew
enty per cent G tered college. Thus
although college graduates are barely
one in a hundred of the total popula-
ton. they number about one-half Of
those who have attained distinction.
AS the Philadelphia Press remarks,
"The odds Of the battle Of life, so far
as visible success is concerned, are a
round hundred TO one on the man who
gets a college education"

A pathetic example of devotion to
art has just occurred in New York.
Leonard Cordes, long a noted orches-

when he called for his violin. 1t was
a valuable Italian instrument and when
he took it in his hands he began play,
ing When the swallows homeward

For six scholarships recently award
ed by the Georgia School of Technol-
ogy there were $50 applications. This
is accepted as evidence that the young
white men of the South are inclining
toward manual and mechanical work
as a career. Georgia papers note this
change of sentiment with much salts
faction. Formerly there was a preju-
dice against mechanical labor.

leaving n gain Of s59j.5S5 ON the real

must be borne III mind, however, that
flumboldt county has l4I miles OF
the main track OF the railroad on
which there is a gain Of $500 per

Rubber-Shod Horses.

A movement has been started in
some cities i'll favor Of shoeiug horses
with rubber instead ~ iron.
The Milwaukee Sentinel argues in
favor Of the innovation aud says:
-lf the rubber shoe is what ha4 been
claimed for it, and there docs not ap.
pear to be room for doubt ON this
head. there is no good reason why it
should not keep pace with the rubber
tire IN popular favor. II the borse
could talk he would certainty enter a
strong plea in favor Of the innova-
ton"
1t ls claimed in Chicago, where the
rubber shoe has been widely nitro.
duced. that the general condition Of
horses feet has improved 80 per cent
and the danger from cracked hoUfs,
spraIned tendons and rheumatism
has decreased fully 30 per cent
among the horses experimental with.
As "a kind muster in kind to his
horse" this consideration alone
should prove Il strong argument ill
favor Of the adoption OF the rubber
shoe.
Humanity likewise woull be ben.
Fitted by the change.
Ii the gathering iron horseshoe
should disappear from the streets the
relief to suffering human nerves
would he almost lncalculable.
Rubber on the hoois OF horses TINT
are driven over asphalt pavemenis
would serve a much more humane
and useful purpose thnn it does in
the necks Of curious people, or on the
feet Of s'nuou politicians.-Kansas
