Rich Indian Babies.

Out in Oklahoma there are about
Eve hundred Indian babies who are
all provided for in the way of wealth,
for the future. They belong to the
Comanohe. Apache, Kiowa, Wichita
and Caddo tribes. and the Unite i
States have just given to each quar-
ter section of land and made them
citizens. These sections comprise 16O
acres each, and because the children
are too young to make the choice
themselves, their parents do it for
them. b. the time they have grown
to be men and women the land will be
very well-to-do. Some sections near
which towns are building will be espe-
cially valuable by the time their own
ers arrive at maturity.

Not SO Cool as he Thought.

mer, and when FIRE alarm was
sounded in hotel one night, did
not find myself failure. l turned
out of bed as quietly as you please,
got into my clothes without undue
haste, and looked out into the hall
with contempt for the guests who were
falling over each other and faiptinc
away. My grip was open, and l wait
ed TO replace everything and lock it
and then ] walked out 10 the nearest
ire escape and dropped my grip to the
ground.
The fire escape was simply rope
fastened 20 hook, and was four
stories up. The hall was dark with
smoke, and could hear men shouting
and women screaming, but pledge
you my word that I wasn't bit rat
tied as I loosed the coil of rope and
backed out Of the window.
II was bit chilly, perhaps, as
found myself swinging SO feet from
the ground, but got down without
further damage than burning and
tearing the skin off my palms.
81 reached terra firma to feel myself
a hero: but the feeling didn't last over
ten minutes. Then the 6remen got
the best of the flames, and as l enter.

Proceeding for Divorce.

Two weeks ago tine CHRONICLE men,
toned the bringing of a proceeding for
divorce against a prominent person in
this community. The parties to the suit
are Mary T. Ward, rs plaintiff, against
William C. Ward. Strange as it may
seem the plaintiff has continued to oc.
cupy the home since the bringing of her
action, and both parties haye been eat
ing at the same table. On Monday, Mrs.
Ward laid complaint before Justice Hen
derson that she feared that Mr.. Ward
would do her bodily harm, and the JUS
tice held that as she was afraid it would
be right to put Mr.. Ward under bonds
which was done in the sum of $3.50.
On Tuesday the motion for temporary
alimony was heard before Judge McGee
at Hot Springs, who allowed Mrs. Ward
$25 per month for her support during
the tendency of the suit, and an add.
tional sum of $3.50 for counsel fees. The
CHRONICLE does not undertake to say
who is in the wrong prefering to leaye
that decision to the court, but this can
be said that it unfortunate for the youth
of this community that such proceedings
are made necessary, il they are neces
sary. Gossiping tongues have had plenty
of material since they began, and have
made abundant use of the opportunity.
We learn also that o. L. Metcalf has
instituted proceedings for divorce against
Mrs. Inez. G. Metcalf.

Carr, and that he has put in a crop
There is about fifty acres plowea and it
is about as pretty a piece of land as can
be found anywhere. Truly this is a
great country when you can dig potatoes
on one end Of a mining claim and dig
gold on the other. But this is a fact,
end to this fact we owe the credit, that
so many Of our miners hive been able to
maintain themselves while prospecting
and developing their mines, when other
wise they would have been obliged to
abandon some of the best ground in the
district. Go to Thunder Mountain OF to
the Klondyke you who will, but we hold
to the opinion that there is no country
on earth that affords better opportuni-
ties for a poor man to live comfortably,

Spring Ailments.

There is an aching and tired feeling
the liver, bowels and kidneys become
sluggish and inactive, the digestion i'm
paired, with little or no appetite, no
ambition for anything, and a feeling that
the whole body and mind needs toning
up. The trouble is, that during winter,
there has been an accumulation of waste
matter in the system. Herbine will re-
move it, secure to the secretions a right
exit, and by its tonic effect, fully restore
the wasted tissues and give strength in
place of weakness. SOC at Alb. j. Jones.
