message Of sweet peace, not OF the
Christ orucified nor Of the sep
ulchre, but the gospel Of a living,
risen Savior Of life and love.
As we listened with uncovered
and bowed heads an emotion
arose within us finer than we
knew or could express-the high
tribute Of silence lying near to
the fountain Of tears.
All was silent for moment
after the echoes Of the song were
stilled then Mr.. Connell, as he
turned away, said, with a direct
mess born Of great emotion:

or Beautiful, Saint.Like Woman
Who Died Eighteen Years
Ago in a Movers Camp on
Cabin Creek While Sweetly
Singing, "He is Risen"

Eighteen years ago an unusually
early spring was taken advantage
of by hundreds of adventurous
per9ons to push on and settle on
the public domain of the rapidly
filling south and west.
One Of the great bighwsys to
the south for people Of western
Iowa led through the Indian Ter
ritory and it was not, in those
days, an iufrequent sight to see a
caravan of fifteen or twenty wag-
ons making a detour from the
beaten sraok to the then little viii
lage Of Vinita to secure provisions.
In one of the wagons rode big,
strapping young man the very
image Of he who is pictured by
versatile writers when they de-
scribe what they are pleased to
term sturdy, young American
manhood" With him was his
young wife--a mother whose ten.
der care Of her infant daughter
proclaimed her goodness Her
face was fine and delicate, and she
had straight, soft, brown hair. She
combed it back neat and plain and
it gave her a sanity air. Among
the families Of the other "movers"
with whom they joined along the
route until there was a goodly
number, this fragile mother never
tired Of doing good.

Easter a camp was made on the

He was informed that she was
at the church where there was
choir practice for Easter music.
The doors of the imposing ediiice
were unlocked and he quietly en-
tered, taking a rear seat in the
dimly lighted church. The organ g
peal, he imagined, was filling the
whole world with the music OF the
prelude to that grand old hymn
"He is Risen" In the beautiful
young woman with the clear voice
he saw an image. but not so fragile,
of her in whom his early hopes
we're eentered and whom he had
left sleeping in a grave near Cabin
creek with seemingly no angel to
roll away the stone.

suddenly she closed her lips,

the seat prone upon the ground.
Long hours of liresome riding
and ministering to oothers had com

They buried her a short distance

Many hunters and ramblers from

rude cross but none knew or cared
for the story Of her who peacefully
slept beneath it.

less tired women. During the
impromptu prayer service follow

their life "back home"
The young husband, proud Of
the wife who sat by his side rock
ing the sleeping babe, told OF her
girlhood and womanly goodness.
He told those about him that he
was a Christian because she made
him so. During the FIRST few
months of their married life she
had taxed his resources to aid the
needy. When he demonstrated
she forever stopped his protests
by saying, sweetly

During the week following
while travelling, or while staying
over in Vinila few days to
have the horses reshod and
wagons repaired, this delicate
mother continued to quietly per-
form her unostentatious acts OF
kindness.
Because OF the delay in this
town the movers by Easter morn
had reached only so far as Cabin
creek, south of the city, where
they camped Tor the day. Sunday
services were held as usual, but re-
gretfully the company were forced
to admit, one to another. that the
brave little woman was visibly
growing weaker. However, she
arose and in her soft-toned voice
admonished her hearers, as she

Anent the Treaty.

Editor Chiefiain, Vinita, |. T.
i wish to give my views through |
The Chiei,ain on the treaty now
beiore the Cherokee people for in
dDrseu.ent. II is my opinion that
itEhe treaty is not ratified the
Cusiis law will be put into execu-
tion for do not think the govern
ment will waste all the expense it
has been to in making the present
roll Of citizens, by indefinite de-
lay, but after all this considefa
ton, | believe like the Curtis
law as we'll OF better than l do the
treaty.
In the first place the provisions
of the Curtis law and the treaty
are both very much alike in many
particulars. The so acre provision
is the same in each, and the town
site sales, privileges, are about
the same, except the treaty gives
Cherokee citizens who bought Up
large number of town lots
for speculative purposes, little
of the inside track when it comes
TO buying lots. AS to the mineral
clause, Of which so much has been
said, think the Curtis act is the
fairer TO the entire people. Be.
cause we do not give our consent
to anything that is questionable
in law, and furthermore, inasmuch
as both treaty and the Curtis act
provides that the allotments shall
be graded as to the surface value,
it is no more than fair and equit-
able for the entire Cherokee peo-
pie to have a chance at the royal
ties coming from the minerals Of
the nation.
To give an example, one will
suppose that a good so acres of
land in this prairie country around
Bluejacket will be held by the al.
loting agents as a standard allot-
ment and that it is worth three
times as much as some of the hilly
country east OF Grand River. or
that an allottee would be allowed
240 acres to so acres. Now if the
land Is TO be graded as provided
by treaty, as we'll as law, il is TO
be seen that the surface is all that
is valued, and that each allottee is
to be treated fairly is the object OF
the government. Therefore, while
it is a known fact that rIcn min.
erals are to be found in this rough
hill country, it is unfair TO give
one man an equalized surface val
ue, and also a chance at a rich
mine beneath. The Curtis acl
provides for this, and that all the
Cherokee people shall have 1
chance at the rich mineral bel
which in my opinion will som'
! day rival the famous Joplin aut
Galena district. | wish to say il
conclusion that the more l study
and see the workings Of the Curlil
law the better l like it, and any
} how Iprefer it TO the treaty as il
passed congress.
