Much less than a hundred years ago the
Italian Government quite unable to drive
out or capture or punish the brigands, and it
had to make treaties with them. There was
one famous Italian brigand called Peter the
Calabrian, who gave himself the title of En-
peror Of the Mountains, King Of the Woods and
Lord OF the High Road from Florence 10 Naples
Fra DavOlo was another Italian brigand Of
fame. and the Queen herself gave him the title
of colonel. There is no doubt that the govern
ment was often in league with the brigandA
both in Italy and in Spain.
They were the terror of all travellers in Ital,
and in many another country till travellers began
TO go by railway instead OF by road. But
have heard of trains being robbed, too. and so
have you, l think and in our own country.
You see. it is a pretty hard thing to fight
brigands. even if you have plenty OF soldiers to
do it with. They live in the mountains and
the woods they know their way in places where
the soldiers do not; many of the people in the
villages know them and have friends among
them and are ready to help them; they viii

MARIE AND HER FRENCH LESSON.

She was such dainty little creature just three
and a hall years old. Her brother Henri was seven
years old.
Life was all joyous sunshine to little Marie, save
for the days that were darkened by the visit the
professor to give instruction in French to her and
her brother.
After due deiberation she decided to rebel. At
the hour for the French lesson Marie could not be
found. Henri looked in every room and closet in
the house then went over the ground again finally
through a sudden inspiration he looked under the
set tubs in the laundry there she was poor little
thlng, screwed up in a knot to make herself as
small as possible so as to escape observation.

P0PULIST FOR MCGUIRE
Pawnee County Man Comes Out for
Nexl ID eIegate.

Guthrie, o. T, July 24.-The work of pre-
pairing for the campaign is being ac-
| lively carried OH in the Republican head
quarters. Secretary Whiting has com
menced his labors and is sendinf letters
out over the territory asking for infor-
nation. a larger force If clerks will soon
be added and then the work will be push
ed more rapidly than at the present
time. The committee has already re-
| coived much encouragement from all
parts Of the territory and everything now
points to Republican success. Bird s.
Mcclure is receiving letters of encour-
agement and is confident that a winning
battle will be the result of the fall cam
paign.
J. ". McNeal, treasurer of the COM
mittee. has received letter from E. NJ.
Clark OF Pawnee county. Mr.. Clark has
been one of the prominent Populists of
Pawnee county, but realizes that the
Populist party is no more. The letter is
as follows:
"Pawnee, o. T. July 21 1902.
Hon. J. w. McNeal. Guthrie, Okla.
Dear Nc: Yours of the 18th received
and noted with much interest. 1 fully
concur with you that statehood is the
living issue of this campaign. 1t Will be
time for us TO discuss Philippines when
they have been wards as long as we
have sympathy begins at home.
Mr.. Cross was nominated on plat
form which opposes the present state
hood bill. While his party associates
have laid down their opposition to it, to
tesy to Oklahoma, pass the bill in Decem-
ber according TO the present program;
bat would be in duty bound TO delay ac-
tion until after he took his seat. in or
der that he might present his objections
TO it.
The measure bis platform advocates
is not desirable, and that wonld neces-
sarIly carry it over until Oklahoma
should hold another election and get in
line with the will of congress. On the
other hand. the election Of Mcguire on
platform endorsing the bill viii be ratL-
lication OF it by Oklahoma and secure its
certain passage. OF McGuires election
have no doubt.
Since the organization Of the Populist
party there has been no time until this
fall when it could be truthfully said that
the party had gone out of business and
it's voters turned loose and compelled to
seek another political home.
With the financial question settled and
g new era upon Us. the prodigal son is
certainly returning and with the Repub-
iican party emuiating that worthy father
who saw the son. while yet a long way
OF and ran to him and fell upon his
neck. etc. (excuse my Scripture) the Pop
ulist vote is certainly. TO a surprising ex-
tent. going TO Mcclure.
7 deem 1t but p question Of the major
ity. and up here in Pawnee we have
about made up our minds to make it
unanimous. Yours sincerely,
e. NJ. CLARK"

SURVEYORS INSTRUCTED

SURVEYORS INSTRUCTED

Guthrie. o. T.. July 2i-The school land
department and attorney generals Office
have been in communication with far
mers living next TO the Kansas line. ask
ing for advice in regard 10 the boundary
line between Oklahoma and Kansas. 1;
Is stated that the farmers in Kansas are
claiming from one TO TWO rods Of land
in what is said to be Oklahoma, alIeg-
ing that the Kansas line extends that far
south. Owing TO the fact that the old
landmarks are obliterated. II is almost
impossible to tell where the line is. The
counties affected are Kay. Grant. Woods
and Woodward. Letters have been sent
out to the four surveyors. asking them TO
ascertain the situation in regard to the
line and what the conditions are, and re-
port the sanle to the executive offices.
II is probable that some agreement
viii be reached whereby an arrangement
will be made to have the old line re-
established for the benefit Of land owners
next 10 the line.
