ite says:
Judge Hosea Townsend has granted a
temporary injunction restraining Indian
Police Agent Scheonfelt and his subordi-
mates from removing or disturbing cattle

The ptition Of the cattlemen in their
Applicant controverts the authority of
The federal government - ENFORCE this
tax It is alleged that cattle are re-
moveu without authority and that much
oamage to stockmen has resulted.
1T will be remembered that prior to
last July the tribal government was at
tempring TO collect tue tax OF . cents
a head q; cattle in the domain, but with
l..tle succe.s. The Chickasaw legislature
IN July passed an act providing for the
collection OF this tax by the federal au-
thorities, who have been enforcing il with
varied success. Cattlemen have fought
the tax vigorously and their stock has
been elected tine and time again because
OF their refusal to pay it.
Revenue Inspector Cobb Was here to-
day. eli said that he had directed the
Indian police. now at Marietta, TO cease
operations until further orders. The po-
lice intended TO drive the cattle out, but
Inspector Cobb said that practically the
same questions involved IN the case are
now before the supreme court of the
District of Columbia, il the case Of Nor

NIoosc Eecomcs Chi,d's Pet.

Several instances are recorded Of
moose having been captured when
young and gradually domcsticated but
never until this fall has Il full-gTown
moose walked deliberately out OF the
woods and into the company OF men,
and continued TO live contentedly in
civilized surroundings, the dCciie and
interesting pei of women and children.
This happened at Moosehead Lake.
ana E'iametta. the pet cow moose, is Il
favorite all through that region.
Fiametta first made the acquaint-
aEcc OF man on Sugar Island. in
Mocsahcad Lake, where an association
of sportsmcn. known as the Night
Hawk Club had a collection o. camps.
One morning in October one OF the
club members got up early. and upon
looking out at his camp door was sur
priscd to see Il Good-s:Zcd and very
plump COW moose advancing to the
door of the hotel.
AT the hotel the moose was vel
coined by all the guests and fcG with
the best the tables afforded. She was
provided with 4 good shelter. also With

Hard Lines For tho NIiso.ynist.

A stringent law against bachelors
has recently been promulgated in one
OF the Stales forming the Argentine
Republic.
A man is marriasca in Argentina
When he is twenty. Ii from that date,
and till he passes his thirticth birth
day, he wishes to remain single, lie
must pay So n month to the State For
the next five years the tax increases
100 per cent.
Between thirty-fivc and fifty the
bachelor is mulctcd 10 the tune OF $50
q month. From his iiftiath year to
seventy-tve $50 mouth is the tax;
but having reached ;le seventy
year, relief finally comes. and the tax
becomes nominal. bciu@ reduced to $50
4 year. After e:gn,y Il man can re-
main single without paying anything.
There is = paragraph relating to
widowars, who are given three years
IN which to mourn and pick Il sue
cessor.
A man who can prove that he has
proposed and been refused thrc , times
in cne yea: is also considered to have
carried immunity from taxation. 1t is
said that the law works like 4 charm.

Where peoplc Are Content.

In his book, '',rhc Soul OF Il People"
Mr.. II. Fielding Hall gives an interest
Ing and sympathetic account OF the
quiet lie and philosophy OF the Bur
m"se. Among other things he says:
"And so all the people arc Oh the
same level. Richer and poorer there
arc, of course. but there are no very
rich; there is none so poor that he can
not get plenty TO eat and drink. AL
eat much the same food, all dress
much alike. The amusements or nj.
are the same, FOR entertainments are
always free. So the Burman does not
care to be rich. 1t is not in his nature
to desire wealth, it is not III his nature
TO care to keep it when it comes to
him. Beyond a sufiiciency for his daily
needs money has not much value. He
does not care to add field to field or
coin to coin: the mere fact that he has
money causes him no pleasure. Money
is worth to him what it will buy
With us. when we have made a little
money, we keep it to be Il nest egg to
make more from. Not so Burman:
He will spend it. And after his own
little wants are satisfied. after he has
bought himself new silk, after he
has given his wife q new bangle, after
he has called all his village together
and entertained them with dramatic
entertainmcnt-&om even before
all this-he will spend the rest OH
charity"

"As easy as winklng.' replied Middle
tom. "You get bond on me from q
surety company for $4,000. We fix
up the books. You give me another
$500. skip. You go to the surety
company with tears in your eyes and
say, My bookkeeper has skipped. He
is $4,000 short Then they come and
look at the books. Then they pay you
the money and start after me. Well.
all want is u chance to spend that
$500 and then they can get me-"
Abers gazed in blank admiration al
the young man. II don't think we
need the policeman any longer" he re.
marked at length, with an air Of alb.
stract thought.
The time was six weeks later. Abers
was radiant. The first thing he did
that morning was to laugh. His last
action before going to sleep the night
before was to chucEle. He had even
smiled in his dreams. The scheme
was working beautifully. The bond
for $4,000 had been arranged. A new
set Of books had been cooked to per-
fection. They showed shortage of
5000 The old ones had been burned.
The day before Middleton had received
$500 and had disappeared. To-day
the mine was to be sprung. Abers's
ambitions We're never SO near realiZa-
ton. On his way down town he looked
in his paper for suburban property for
sale. There seemed to be likely places
S~n n g
mosquitoes were really so bad over
there
''Now for springing the mine." He
picked up the letters and opened one
in Middleton's handwriting.
"Dear Mr.. Albers," it ran, "you will
remember that when you applied for a
bond OIL ME YOU signed statement
that had never been short in my ac-
counts. This was wrong. Officer Nc
Carty knows to the contrary. The old
