millionaires at the expense of the
tribes They were known s galyan-
lied Indians or squaw men
Five years ago the evil was partly
remedled by the action Of the tribal
councils ia disfranchising all squaw
men who thereafter married into the
tribes. This checked the influx Of
money seekers for a Time, and then It
became as bad as ever Early this year
the Chickasaws raised the marriage
licenses to $1,000 each They now ex-
pect only true love marriages to occur.

Fashlons in cats.

Siamese cats. with their curious
markings and loud discordant voices,
are now favorites with fashionable
women IN England. In many respects
they are unique among cats. They fol-
low their owners as a dog would; they
are exceedingly aftectionate and ilsist
upon being nursed. and they meow
loudly and constantly. In color they
vary from pale fawn through shades
Of brown to chocolate. There are two
varieties. the temple cats and the pal
ace cats: about the only difference be-
tween the two varieties being that the
palace breed IS darker IN color
The only sacred temple cats that
ever left the land Of their birth were
given to DR.. Nightingale as a mark Of
special favor by the King Of Siam.
They were named by their new owner
Romeo and Juliet and are now the
property Of Lady Marcus Beresford.
They are very expensive, moderate
specimens selling for $50 and finely
marked ones bringing from $40 TO $500

"The uniformity in the style Of toes
has done a good deal to reconcile the
manufacturer to the close margins on
which he Is doing business" said a
leading shoeman. For instance, when
a radical change Of toe comes up. such
as we had when the London toe was
changed to the Piccadllly toe. the Coin
to the Dime, and subsequently to the
Razor and Needle toe, it compelled
manufacturers to equip their factories
with entirely new lasts and at an ex-
pense not unfreQuently of $1,000 or
more where a factory was large.
When that ugly abominatlon was dis
carded (and we trust for all time) all
manufacturers were compelled to
change their entire system, and new
lasts that we did not work over one
season were put under our boilers for
fuel The uniformity Of the prevailing
style Of toe is not only sensible. but
win not, In my opinion. be radically
changed for years, because It appeals
to the gooC sense Of wearers and is IN
perfect style. Shoe and Leather Re-

What a Good Fight Does.
Rutland News.1

The Waterbury Record says anent the
fight on governorship in Vermont which
seems to be on the program for the COM
ing few months that too many political
fights in one party will in the end pro-
duce had results" Not in Vermont
where there is no opposing party to be
seriously considered. The Republicans of
this state cannot well have too many
fights over candidates or over legitimate
issues. By means Of these contests only
can dry-rot in the party be avoided
rights. when they are conducted on the
proper plane, devoid of personalities and
had blood, sharpen and keep bright and
clean and alert any political organlza-
ton. A good many inferior men have at
tanned office in the Vermont RepuDllcah
1artv-high office and in recent times,
too-simply because the fighting blood
of the members of the party was not
aroused, but was sluggish. A good stin
fight is to be welcomed at any time.
