London Writer Describes Yerkes.

Charles T. Yerkes is credited win
saying that men are in their apprC n
ticeship until they reach the age of
40 and that a business man is not
ripe until he is ten years older than
that The London writer who quotes
him thus draws this brief pen picture
of the former Chicago traction mag
nate: '-Pallid. dark-eyed, soft-voiced,
with white hair and mustache and an
air OF subdued refinement, the railway
autocrat might be taken for a quiet
scholar rather than a graduate of
the most strenuous roHgh-and-tumble

His letter began abruptly:
Its no use, mon ami, I love YOU
And when a man loves a woman,
friendship Is but as stones to starv-
ing man. People prate of the posi-
bilities of the platonic-and such
things may be. Yes, if each party be
as cold-blooded as a compressed air
machine. You may smile at this,
questioning: Are not all beings COM
pressed air machines?' My mind does
not run along scientific lines. 1 take
little stock in the 'brazen Baals' and
talking fctishes' with which you are
wont to satisfy all deep emotions.
And I love you. Let the saying stand
even so long as I live.
What then? And you would fain
shrug your shoulders. But, think
moment, friend of mine. You may
burn incense before many altars-yet
what gift can the gods bestow that
shall equal the love OF man-strong,
tender, unfaltering? You will say that
for praising my own wares am close
second to Jew. True. But a modes
ty that stands between a man and
his happiness is a foolish modesty.
do l not know whereof 1 speak?
Seeing that 1t has forced me to risk
my all upon a single throw? You
smile-there in your pleasant sea-
green Serenity-saying: a mans love
is not his ALL Many there be who
will agree with you; yet what says
the inspired Paul of Tarsus? If 1
have not love in my heart 1 become
as a tin pan beaten by sticks'-Or
something to that effect.
do not answer this for ten days,
mon ami. Give the gods of chance
an opportunity to throw their dice in
my favor. Would to the Lord / could
load the dice.
do not doubt my sincerity, for I
tell you straightly that should you
find it impossible to give me love for
love my life will be worth no more
to me than a bad egg-though the
chances are that 1 shall go on living
pretty much as the next man does.
Custom and culture, like American
manufacturers, strive steadily to re-
duce individuality to 9Xed standard
that if one part be broken or mis-
laid it's substitute may be readily sup
piled.
But, dear, though this is true of
the surface, there are myriads of
men striving to content themselves
| with shadows instead of subs tances;
and dear, dear, man of few fears that
| am, my heart fails me at the thought
of such a life-day after day without
| you.
Mon ami, 1 know well that you
| laugh at love, yet I lay my love be-
fore you. Know, also, that you have
bitter prejudices against matrimony,
yet 1 ask you in all seriousness to
! become my wife. What reply can you
make? A quotation from the prince
! of stoics? l fear SO. And yet l am
not so uHlovable. Women have loved
! sorrier specimens of manhood. All,
| but know, you are not one of those
women.
| 20, woman, woman strong of heart
! and steady of nerve, why could ]
not be content with pleasant talks
| and easy relations? Why cannot a
man live on stones that are plentiful
rather than on loaves that are dear?
| Curse a pen for soulless instrument!
! Why can 1 not take you in my arms
and force you to feel the love in
my heart-beats and on my lips? Why?

Two STATEHOOD SCHEMES.
TO Fora Separate State Of In
dian Territory Or
ATTACH IT TO ARKANSAS.

Muskogee, l. T.. Sept. S.-The Phoe-
nix publishes IA statement by Chief
Pleasant Porter, of the Creeks, which
contains what follows:
1.-The thought suggests itself that in
order to give identity to the form of
states of ell the territories within the
confines of the United States, it will be
amendment to what is termed the
omnibus bill granting statehood TO
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma,
providing an enabling act giving state
hood to Indian Territory to take effect
under the dissolution of tribal govern
ment, March, 1906. This would settle
the question and remove the necessity
of separate statehood act for the
Indian Territory to be passed some
time within the next two or three
years, and would give ample time for
the general government to complete
the distri button of the lands to the
Indian tribes owning the territory and
would give general satisfaction to the
people lnhabiting the Indian Territory.
THE annexation to Oklahoma of the
territory, either as Il whole or piece
meal, as has been suggested by conven-
tiOns at different places in the territory,
would only add another factor TO the
complex problem that is not wrought
out in the territory. that is, the trans
formation OF the Indian people from
their tribal institutions to that of a
more enlarged system of government,
that OF United States citizenship and.
statehood. including common holding
of property to individual tenure"
Fort Smith, Ark.-The Choctaw and
and Cherokee nations may be attached
to Arkansas, according to the News
Record, which says:
almost for the asking Arkansas can
secure the consent of the Choctaw and
Cherokee nations for the annexation of
those nations To the state OF Arkansas.
The proposition has been advanced
many times, but always regarded as a
dream. A prominent citizen of the
Cherokee nation is quoted as follows:
. Il am surprised that the newspa-
pers of Arkansas have not agitated this
question. OF course we would enjoy
having a state composed of the tive
Indian tribes and them only, but the
course of congress has led us to believe
| that there is NO hope for that. There
has been great deal of agitation of
the annexation af the Indian Territory
| to Oklahoma, and there is some sent-
ment in favor of it in the Seminole and
| Creek nations, but it finds few advo-
Gates in this end Of the territory. If
our people can not get self-government.
we want to be annexed to our friends
and neigh bors. The Cherokee nation
and Arkansas, especially northwes
| Arkansas, have much in common. If
the Cherollees were taken into Ark:In-
sas the Choctaws Will have to come in
too, out of self-defense. They cannot
afford to be annexed to Oklahoma any
more than can the Cherol1ces Chief
Burlington is heartily in favor of such
a government, and 1 am informed that
Sargy Sanders, who has AS much in11u-
ence with the fullbloods as any man in
the nation, has said he would sooner
the Cherol1ees were annexed to Arl<a n
sas than for any of the other statehood
propositions to become a law.

Walter F. Hulet, leading Democrat of
Charlottesville and secretary of the Mont
gomery Fair Association, was at the Grand
Hotel last night with George Graham
leading dry goods merchant of the Hoosier
Athens. Mr.. Graham's political beliefs are
directly opposite to those of Mr. Hulet Gra-
ham is a Republican and friend of Repre-
sentative Landis and asserts that Lands
and all the other Republicans will carry
Montgomery county. Mr.. Hulet is not an
uncompromising Democrat. He is am
bilious and expects to be a candidate next
year for a place on the State Board OF
Agriculture. He has been exceedingly sue
cessful as the secretary of the Montgomery
county fair and has brought the associa-
tion out of debt. Hulet is also an admirer
of Lands. The latter. in fact. has won
a place in the hearts of all the Crawfords-
Vile people on account OF the new federal
b ding that is to be located there. A
short time before the Charlottesville fair
Secretary Hulet sent Representative Lands
a complimentary to the fair and inscribed
on the bottom of the ticket were the words,
This is for the new federal building"
Graham is proprietor of dry goods estab-
lishment that is known as THE Busy Store -
He declares that the name is no misnomer
for business is surely coming his way. He
cannot understand why any Montgomery
county citizen should vote the Democratic
ticket this year. Several years ago there
were two rivalry jewelry stores in Craw-
fordsville and George Graham was at the
head of one of the establishments. Both
firms were doing great deal of advertis-
ing. People VINO used to ride down to the
picturesque little village of TOWNSVILLE
few miles west of Charlottesville, were
one day attracted by fresh, new sign
painted on the side of barn. The letters
were immense and the sign attracted a
great deal of attention. 1t was the sign
of Mr.. Graham's competitors. One day,
a short time later, another sign appeared

other side of the stable ii was on the roof.
