"The spectacle to be seen daily at
Beaumont, Tex, just now" said P. ].
Curran, to the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, els one of tho most distinctively
American imaginable. Beaumont, pre-
vious to the discovery of the oil spouts,
was commonplace, progressive little
place of about twelve thousand popu-
lation. 1t was growing in the regular
way, and everybody knew everybody
else. Now there are 25000 strangers in
the town, about two for each native
inhab itant, and the town has the ap-
pearance of some kind of a show.
There isn't room for the people to eat.
nor sleep, nor move about. Two special
trains run every night to Port Arthur
and Sabine Pass to carry the drifting
population to points where they can
sleep and eat, and return next morn
ing. Different places of business are
given 500 per month for enough space
to put up little real estate booths of
canvass, and people who don't manage
to get out of town tramp about all day
and then throw themselves down at
night on the canvass they have brought
for the purpose of putting up tents.
But many of them don't have time nor
space to put up the tents, and sleep
under the open air on their tentage. 1t
is a scene of feverish activity, every
man who owns valueless property is
trying to sell for high prices, and every
man with a stake is trying to make
fortune out of it. Nearly all forms of
legitimate business have been sus-
pended, and half the people seem to
have taken leave of their senses. 1t

An Appendicitis Club.

Seldom is the ruling passion for club
organization illustrated more pointedly
than in that weird association just or
gained up in Maine and destined, ap-
parently, to go down the ages as the
first Appendicitis club. The clubs
membership is graded into two ranks
the lower being composed CT those
persons who have survived one opera
ton, and the higher degree those who
have survived two or more operations
for that uncalled-for thing, the vermi-
form appendix Those who have I'M
dergone the operation and have not
lived might be said to form the Club
Triumphant. The originator of the
club is w. F. Fernald of Old Orchard,
Me. In 1898 the doctors in the Massa-
chusetts General hospital in Boston
took out Fernald's superfiuous organ
ism, but failed to take his life, too
Fernald was so grateful that he decid-
ed to form club of persons who had
been as successful as himself. The
association which he has formed is to
be organized by states, and to have
national conventions and all the ma
chinery of a great party--Chicago

Back in the Muskoka region of On
tarfo, Canada, the country is at once
SO wild, so beautiful, and so difficult
of cultivation that thoughts have been
seriously entertained, from time =
time. of setting on foot projects to
reserve the entire region for a sort
OF governmental hunting part. But
the tfme-honored. ever-popular drama
which has for its motif and principal
characters the love story of man
and maid is played out there in ways
as varied and as perpetual as all the
world over 1t would be played oftener,
perhaps, but for the fact tnat the
young men of the farming districts are
SO seldom at home. In the winter
nearly all of them head for the
camps" where the logs are cut ana
made ready for transportation; in the
summer great numbers of them go to
the great Northwest" SO mysteriously
attractive to all the young denizens of
the Muskoka, the great Northwest
where wages are supposed to be so
much higher and times SO much better
than at home. A halo of kas glory OF
success shines about the returning
train-loads of eager young men
The schools in the Muskoka are
fairly good nowadays, but even the
girls are not able to attend school very
long in their teens unless there are
plenty OF younger or older sisters to
assist with the household tasks and
look after the inevitable and numer-
Gus babies. The boys, alas! are usually
seized with camp fever" just as soon
as they are big enough to serve as the
cooks assistant or chore-boy OF lum-
Der camp. Miranda jenkins was the
middle sister in a family of nine, Fred
Portman was the only son of his
mother and she a widow. This was
how it happened that while Miranda
was fairly well educated and reason
ably learned in the ways of the CON
yentional world, Fred still talked in
rather nasal fashion and did VIC 'ance
to the English language. And Fred
loved Miranda so devotedly that he
had serious thoughts of saving up"
and attending night school in To-
ronto just as soon as his mother had
been made comfortable. financially, for

white people, too The ride among the
camps showed active preparation. Tie
Indians were brushing their black,
glossy hair, tieing it with ribbons or
twisting it with long strips of fur;
dressing up in their buckskins, strings
of beads and feathers. The dancers
fastened bands of bells below their
knees Their toilet would have been
far from complete if they had not fur
Their beautified themselves with plenty
of green. yellow and red paint, in rings
about their eyes, stripes and spots upon
the cheeks, forehead, legs, arms and
bodies
The chief of the Tonkawas, while
walking about in great pomp, believ-
ing himself to be the person of most i'm
portance and trying to appear perfect
ly unconcerned, suddenly discovered
kodak aiming at him, and before he
could be shot became highly indig-
nant- He could speak English fairly
well, and he said: THE white peo-
pie got no business take my picture.

tomorrow came, however, he had
quite changed his mind and came ask
ing to have his photograph taken.
Those who had brought gifts then
chose one of the Tonkawas as the re-
cipient of his present. The Thank
YOU was very impressive, great deal
of talking and motions and raising
of the hands as though invoking heav-
ems last blessing.
The ponies that were led up to the
new masters and mistresses were gaily
painted in designs of red, green and
yellow. The names and tails were
painted some bright color and some
times tied with bright ribbons and
handkerchiefs and often an additional
gift of a nice blanket would be on the
pony's back.
The dancing and presentation of
gifts lasted from about o'clock until
sunset. The parting scene was very
affecting.

passing away and new and better
things are taking place is manifested
by the friendly visit paid to the Kio-
was by the Tonkawas recently.
The Tonkawa tribe, now numbering
about forty, surprised the Kiowas by
asking to visit them. They came pre-
pared for a long stay bringing their
tents, tepees. wagons ponies and all
their Indian paraphernalia, including
their buckskin suits, feathers, paint,
etc.
To show their good friendly feeling,
the Tonkawas announced they would
give a dance for the entertainment of
the Kiowas, and Indian etiquette de-
manded that the Kiowas, in return,
should give gifts to the visitors. In
dian gifts consist of beef, shawls.
blankets, but principally ponies.
The great day of the dance at last
arrived, and everybody went; the
