up, and minute later fremen burst
into the house and up the stairs.
Fires out" said Joe, with pride.
Il got here ahead of you
well, you're a cool one. Is this
youngster hurt?'' for Willy had not
ceased crying.
81 guess he's scorched some. an he's
done his dad out of der Buffalo trip.
/ don't t'ink / kin git back In time,
but I'll make try at it,"
He stepped over to the bureau and
picked up the tickets just as a POLICE
man came into the room. The fire.
man had seen at a glance that the
fire was really out and he called out,
"All over" to a half dozen who had
followed close at his heels. But it was
not all over for the policeman.
please look after dis kid vile l take
desc tickets to Mr.. Bagsley," said Joe
to the policeman. but although the po-
lice sometimes play the part Of nurses,
in this instance there was something
suspicious in Joe's hurry and i'm fact
in his being in the house at all and the
policeman said
81 guess you'd better hold on a min
ute and answer some questions. How'd
the house catch fire?'
Joe thought he would burst with inn
patience while he answered him. He
barely 20 minutes left in which to get
to Mr.. Bagsley. who even now might
be waiting in the ferryhouse. If he
could reach him with the tickets he
would not breathe a word about the
fire, because, boylike he hated to see
a holiday scheme fall through, and as
ii had turned out Willy was more
frightened than hurt.
But still the policeman, who seemed
fearfully slow of comprehension, piled
his questions and the minutes flew by
one by one until Joe gave up all hope
of reaching Mr.. Bagsley and answered
the policeman sullenly. What business
had he to interfere with a boy who
was trying to do his best?
But in these days of telephones 1t
does not take long to get word to a
man when his house has caught fire
and some kind neighbor called Mr..
Bagsley up and Just as the engines
were going away and the policeman
had come to the conclusion that Joe
had. acted the part Of a hero a cab
dashed up to the front door and Mr..
and Mrs. Bagsley jumped out and
rang the front-door bell.

NICKELS BY THE TON.
The Small and Useful Coins Counted
by Weight.

From the Kansas City Star
Once day a curious scene is enacted at
the various banks receiving the money OF
the New York street car lires. So many
nickels are deposited that the clerks do not
try to count them. They weigh them, and
pray for the early death of the man who
invented them. OF course. worn and light
coins run a few more to the ton than new
ones from the mint but the discrepancies
average about the same all the way along.
and little or nothing is lost by this method
of counting nickels. Thus the nickels that
come In by truck and wheelbarrow loads to
the subtreasury. to be recoined or again
put into circulation.
Great is the power of the nickel. Rain
drops of nickels falling into the conductors 3
pocket, to be shoveled into the treasury OF
the street car lines at the end Of the route,
have performed miracles besides making
officials and stockholders rich. They have
transformed New York, extended and mui-
siplied the lines, pushed the city into the
suburbs, giving new streets and bouleya rds
rapid transit for miles beyond the predic-
tion of the widest dreamers Of twenty
years ago.
With thousands of conductors collecting
fares, shower of money falls into the
company's receiving offices in different
parts of town every day. This money is
transferred each day by strongly-buiIt
treasure wagons to the banks convenient
TO the receiving Offices. This transfer OF
cash requires three teams of horses to bc
changed during the day for each wagon

WEALTH OF NEGROES.
Seven Thousand in Creek Nation
Worth $22, 100000.

From the Kansas City Star.
Seven thousand negroes in the Creek Ma
tion own 1.12O,QGO acres of land. Under
any form of government which would per-
nit of improvements being made this land
would sell in the open market for an aver
age of $40 an acre. The wealth of these
1000 negroes can, therefore, be safely esti-
mated at 81, ,000.OCO.
Paul Lawrence Dunbar, who has recently
startled the public by revealing the charm
ing social conditions which prevail in
Washington negro society," should by all
means visit Muscogee. Nobody here knows
anything about an exclusive Afro American
circle. where only evening clothes are worn
at formal evening functions, and where
"the Bradley-Martin walters" couldn't
break in with club. The ex-slave Of the
Creek is richer by far than the average
Washington negro. and very much the
same sort of an Afro American one sees on
the streets at the national capital and at
Baton Rouge. But he wouldn't feel at home
in the set which Mr.. Dunbar discovered
A family of seven negroes in the Creek
Nation owns 1 .120 acres of land worth S22-
400. But in dress manner and appearance
the Afro-American hereabOuts is very much
the same type one encounters hovered
around the popular craps resorts on Char
lotte street. Riches haven't made him
proud and exclusive. possibly because he
doesn't know he Is rich A Creek negro
the pOssessor of land whicn would make a
plutOcrat out Of any western white farmer
gives no thought as to what the morrow
will bring forth. A buck dance on the
sidewalk at a street corner is his favorite
diversion. He still loves the sunny side Of
the street. 1t is probable that he has come
to town in his own buggy, driven by a pair
of horses that belong to him. The oppor-
tunity OF making himself an independent
fortune has never impressed him. His home
is shack and a white man is generally
found tilling his soil.
Unlike the Chef0keess the Creeks made
companions of their slaves. When the
negroes We're freed the Creeks adopted them
as citizens of the tribe. For while Creeks
and negroes fraternized on terms Of easy
equality. But the fuli-blood Creek now
gives the negro the cold shoulder. Marriage
between the fun blood Creek and the negro
has become thing of the past II there is
hope for the negro, surely the black belt
In the Indian territory is destined TO prove
It, Here he Is the landowner The white
man is his tenant. If the Indian territory
conditions have kept him back, surely Mr.
Booker Il. Washington and Mr.. Dunbar

Tor equality in the human family will plead
lor independent government for the Indian
territory. Even IL it be admitted that the
White population has no rights which any-
Dooy IS bound to respect. what will be done

The death Of another exalted parsonage

greatly to be -lamented. Though not direct
ly connected with India, the Indians have a
genuine love and regard for the Americans,
who are, after all. the kith and kin OF the
English beyond the Atlantic. We are speci-

sympathy and support during the dark
