CITIZENS OF TWO
%EREPUBI ICS%%

In the recess of the North Carolina
mountains there is highly civilized
band of Indians who form a nation
separate and distinct from the state
government and based upon the theo-
ries Of democracy. The people who
compose the community are Cherokee
Indians of pure blood, although many
degrees removed from the savagery of
their ancestors, and their scheme of
government, while adhering to many
Of the traditions of their tribe, is far
in advance of any existing among
other of the original natives Of the
soil.
The chief or president of the repub-
| lie, is elected by a plurality vote by
the qualified electors o: the country.
He must be at least thirty years of
age and a native of the republic. He
holds Office for four years and receives
a compensation of $500 year. How
ever, should he be authorized by his
congress to leave the country on pub:
lie business his compensation is fixed
at 81 day and mileage. He is not
only the chief executive of the nation,
but is its first citizen, and he is always
regarded as the personal friend and
adviser of his people in their individ-

Freaks of the Earth.

The residents of East Grinstead, an
English village, are the latest per
sons who have, been alarmed by the
disappearance of local stream.
There is nothing unprecedented in
such an event. It was only last year
that Sven Hedin, the Swedish ex-
plorer, reported the. disappearance Of
a lake which had long been known as
Lob-Nor, and one of the islands of the
Tonga group in the South Sea disap-
pears periodically. Switzerland has

threatens to wipe out several towns.

HARD-HEADED OPPOSITION.

Inviting Humor of Speaker in Dis
cussing Pavement Question.
Citizens met in the North Side Tur-
ner hall not many weeks ago and dis
cussed asphalt pavements, says the
Milwaukee Sentinel. "A substitute for
asphalt was proposed by one of the
leading politicians present. 1t had
been decided to lay a pavement on
certain streets in that part of town
and asphalt seemed to be the material
most favored by the common council.
1t would make the assessments on
property holders high, and this meet
ing had been called to oppose Amy
measures which would require so great
an expense.
!. The meeting was large and full 'Qf
indignation. There were many and
curious reasons why asphalt was NIB
good. Everybody was ready 10 adolt
measures to defeat the tactics of til b
cunning politicians who wished 10
flood the streets with mud from Trihf-
dad. After a. long harangue OF the nd
cessity of concerted action On tn tiva
OF citizens, the chief speaker onp B
evening solved the difficulty by & :
posing a new and enduring kim f
material.

persons what live on Grand avg o

ed; but we, we do not want such. a
stuff. Plocks is peter. we must do
something's and putty quick already.
When we do not want such a pavement
as assfawled and pay more money yet
as it ISIS not worth, we must put our
heads togedder and make plocks.''

the MAN WITH the APPLE.

A Clever Scheme Successfully worked
r.. on Chicago Jewellers.
: A distinguish he'd looking stranger With
white hair and white beard strolled1
into State street jewelry store the.

Ocean, and asked to see some diamond
rings. The clerk reached for them.
leaving one tray filled with expensive,
rings on top of the showcase. Here
they are" he said, placing the second
tray beside the first. As he did so the
tall man, who had been munching at
me russell apple, threw the core into
the street. He and the clerk went over
the rings in the trays, but he could
nnd none that he wanted to buy. AS;
ne turned to- go the clerk discovered:
that ring worth $3.50 was missing.
The clerk disliked to accuse the dis
notwithstanding stranger of having
stolen the ring. There was prospect,
OF suit for damages against his en-
pioyer and his own discharge if the
accusation should be found groundless.
otlll, If he let the man go away with
the ring it would mean that he would

posluons the clerk finally incisted that.

VI course I saw it. I had it in my
hand only moment ago. All, I catch

be careful, sir; you do not
KNOW who l am. I won't put up with
any such nonsense" The stranger de-
spite his protests, was searched, but
the ring was not found The jeweler
was apprehensive of a big suit for
damages until the detectives found
That the tall man is an old-time thief,
who wins out often on the strength Of
MS Impressive appearance. The way
ne got away with the ring was to slip
1t into the half-eaten apple he held in
MS hand and then throw it into the.
street, where confederate picked it
up and got away, and the tall man
could stand a search with safety.

though no sorrow engrossed her-bu1
Hildred did it. Her husband found
out, too, quite by accident, that she
rose early every morning in order that
she might go on with the work that
she had begun. Her letters, the plans
the wants of the tenants, were all at
tended to before the real household
day began. He was pleased when he
found it out; it was part of her noble
character to be true to her purposes;
but he never dreamed, that love for him
drove sleep from her eyes, as it had
already driven peace from her heart
he would never have believed IL.
So they went on through the bright
autumn days, playing at cross pur-
poses, each believing simply and i'm
plicitly in the dislike of the other.
With the days her love grew greater.
There was, indeed, something most low
Ing in the earl now. While she Stunned
and avoided him, she would have
given the whole world for one kindly
word, for one loving glance from him.
She watched him with dim, passionate
eyes, At the sound of his footsteps
her heart throbbed, and her pulse
quickened at the sound of his voice.
Her whole heart went out to him. He
was her husband, and she loved him
with a wonderful love, although she
showed none of it.
With her keen passionate love grew
her jealousy. 1t was not in Lady Ham
alton's nature to pass by the admira
ton of man like the handsome earl.
He must admire her. Had he not done
so spontaneously, she would have won
1t from him. All homage was accept
able to her-his particularly so, be-
cause he was handsome man, and
because he had beautiful, dark-eyed
wife who never looked quite comfort
able when they were talking together
two little incentives which Lady
Hamilton proflted by, and which af-
1orded amusement to her. What was
nothing but sheer mischief, sheer love
OF admiration, was death almost to the
proud young wife who counted every
smile that her husband gave her.
She smiled sadly to herself one day,
saying:
Now know the meaning of the
words:

me die"

wheels dangerous to the spawning of
the fish. 1t is. we'll known that salmon
In ascending a stream select the chan
nels where the swiftest currents are
found. The fish wheel, on the plan OF
an ordinary water wheel with a series
OF nets, Is placed directly in the cur
rent and as a rule not a fish escapes
while the wheel is in operation. The
result Is that the salmon cannot as
cend to the spawning grounds and the
natural propagation is defeated. At
the last session of the Oregon legis-
lature several bills were introduced to
prohibit the fixed appliances, but they
failed to pass. A similar condition Of
affairs existed on the Sacramento river
In California some years ago and the
wheels were legislated out Of the river.
Extensive artificial propagation was
carried on by the state and the result
was seen during the season just over.

handled, and hundreds OF tons were
shipped to Astoria to be handled by the
cold storage plants and later to be
shipped to European markets as Col
umbia river Chinooks. The salvation
of the industry apparently lies in arti-
fetal propagation and the states of
Oregon and Washington maintain fish
commissions and appropriate large
sums annually for this purpose. Last
year nearly 10000, 900 Chinook salmon
eggs were taken on the Columbia river
and these fish will be turned out this
fall. In addition millions of the eggs
of inferior varieties were taken at the
hatcheries. Some idea Of the extent
of the industry may be gained from
the statement that in 1900 the value of
the salmon packed on the Columbia
river alone was nearly $4,000, oco.

as regarded her husband, her plans Of
reform, her schemes for the benefit of
others, that she had not given much
thought to her own position as a wife
whose husband made no pretense of
loving her. The knowledge of her real
status came to her now with a. keen
sense of intolerable pain, yet she
