Indian Agents Office Asked for
100000 to Prosecute This
Work.

Muskogee, l. T., June ~. The
Indian agents office has asked for
eI0 900 With which to prosecute
the work Of opening roads along
section lines. Some action of the
sort is greatly needed, as the allot-
ting OF laud enables the allottee TO
fence his holdings, through which
the old road, in its devious course
may have passed, It is claimed,
however, that section line roads
must be opened before the old
roads are closed. Having a corn
or oat crop is no excuse for not
opening q section, as the road or
der was originally issued in Feb
ruary, before the crops we're
planted.
The order may possibly be en-
forced for another purpose as we'll
The Greek authorities are threaten
ing to use this as a weapon against
the offending cattlemen who are
said to have violated the terms OF
their leases. The Creek citizens
living near the big pasture may
demand the opening Of the section
line road them, and thus destroy
the availability of the pasture
cutting them of FROM water and
reducing their size so that thf
lessee may be practically forced

THE HABIT OF
 EXCLUSlVENESS

Mrs. AIgeron Reginald D'Oyle-Cann was of the exclusive exclusively set. She was asked to a ladies' luncheon at Mrs. suaythowitz's to meet Mrs. Dietrich van Sparkbright Mrs. d'Oyle-Cann, having to maintain. her reputation as one who in- sisted on keeping closed and padlocked the six barred gate into the select social pasture, would not have attended Mrs. Smythowitz's luncheon except to meet Mrs. van Sparkbright, for Mrs. Smytho- ritz had only been of the most exclusive set for three years. But Mrs. van Spark bright traced her ancestry in direct line back to the Van Netherlanders. while her husband traced his to the Van Dutch CTS and both were very wealthy; so their social position was an enviable one. Mrs. d,OyIe-Cann felt that she must encourage this sort of blood with her smiles ana her presence. She went
 Mrs Smythowitz's country home oc- cupied an elevated sight commanding a beautiful view of the ocean and the town of Rip Rockers by the Sea. Mrs. d,Oyle-Cann was placed at table on the right of the guest of honor, Mrs. van 6parkbright By way of making talk Mrs. van Sparkbright said to Mrs. d'O-C.:
 sBeautiful region this. I suppose. of course, you have often been to Light house Rock
 "Oh, mo-" replied Mrs. doc. 'T never have been there even once. All those vul- gar tourists who have ruined Rip Rock CTS go there first thing and hang around 1t disgustingly. None of our set ever goes there
 ssThere is a fine collection of curios and historic relics at the museum in the vil- lage here," continued Mrs. van Spark bright. There is story. probably true, that in the earliest days of the colony a pioneer settler slid down Lighthouse rock precipice to escape the Indians and act ually came off with his life. One of the arrows the Indians fired at him was found sticking in tree afterward. The arrow is in the museum
 NO" said the exclusive lady; 'Tve never been near the museum. It be- longs to the people here. you know just a common lot Our set has nothing to do with them"

Gayest, brightest most beautiful of all cities, is Paris on the surface, yet under heath this surface smolders evermore the dull sullen red fire of hate. the hate of the poor toward the rich. ready to burst forth at any moment. The idea Of politics among Latin races appears to be to hate something, and the poor of Paris hate with such biting malice those whom they call "aristocrats" that In cer- tain quarters of the city it is not safe for well dressed persons to walk along the streets.
 Tn her explorations of Paris Mime. de Montaigu walked everywhere among the people themselves. watching, taking notes. She used to walk for miles and miles learning things. Her desire for informa- ton took her afoot to the Faubourg St. Antoine, the quarter inhabited by the poorest class of working people. She knew beforehand what she was going in to- so wore the oldest. shabbiest gar ments she possessed. As she passed along the street suddenly a witchike old hag darted out of hall way and grabbed her arm and shook her.
 "Aristocrat-t" exclaimed the creature. with the peculiar, venomous hiss of the Latin races in rage or excitement. Aris- tocrat-t! Get out of here!'
 'No, no, madame" replied the countess. 'I am one of the people. like you"
 But the face and whole manner of the fair and dainty American belied it. The old woman was only the more enraged.
 You lie!' she screeched. "Get out of here! Col"
 q thought I'd better go." said the coun- tess.
 In the edges of this same Faubourg St. Antoine are some wholesale goods houses. A prosperous and fashion able dressmaker whom the countess knew had occasion to visit theee houses

 as her thoughts turned to the past. "Yes. we were happy" he repeated. When you softly answered Yes dreamed how we would journey through , life hand in hand, living each for the other, sharing our sorrows and joys.' "Oh. yes, that is all very fine, but I

 ''Ho. my love! If you only knew how | you are lacerating my heart, you would
 not speak that way. Alas, how could
 I foresee what the future held in store | us this misery" And then we must really part" Her
 words seemed to come from the inner recesses of her heart. ''Yes, 1t must be SOL You can give me up so easily?" There l was sarcasm in her speech. 'Why torture me with such words when

 "Ah, I didn't read 1t. never read newspapers; they are so common and slangy! Some of the women in our set do. but I myself am quite too exclusive to approve of It."
 Once more: T see Miss sporrocks is glving physical culture lessons here. really think she is the best teacher of athletics and gymnastics I ever saw She actually Is herself as strong and graceful as she professes to train other women to be. I suppose your daughter attends her classes.
 Mrs. dOyle-Cann fairly rolled her eyes in horror. "Oh. dear me. no, I couldn't think of letting her go. When we first came here I sent for a full list Of all the families patronlzing Miss Spor- rocks-made her give the name of avery one. There was objectionable people among them, persons not at all in our Set. Many of the very best people did not patronize her at all.

She cannot swim at all and we were only in the surf once this season. The crowd here is mixed, very mixed I never let Regina go among common people, never go among them myself"
 Then you don't know how much you miss" said Mrs. van Sparkbright, half to herself. Entirely to herself she re- marked: Well. of all the stupid women ever met! Her gentility must be very thin or she wouldn't be so afraid of its rubbing off.''

gown. After leaving the first wholesal establishment she went to another. The distance was so short that she did not trouble to enter her carriage, but walked, bidding her driver go along slowly to the second place. She did not observe anything specially wrong until she got home. Then. taking off the rich velvet gown, she discovered that it was ruined, A creature of the faubourg had stealthily followed her step by step during that brief walk from one business house to other and spat all over the back of her dress. The impotent rage of the low class Parisian to one more prosperous thus ex- pectorated itself upon a ladys dress. Again peculiarly Latin, that.
 The countess attended this year the racing at the Grand Prix. It was bril- liant, but these shows are now never so splendid and spectacular as they were formerly, probably will not be again in this generation. The reason is the ever menacing specter of hate that the poor send to shadow the entertainments of the rich. Formerly there were sumptuous luncheons. with priceless champagne and dazzling silverware. and these luncheons were partaken of upon the tops of the coaches of the rich who ride in chaises in plain sight of all the poor, who walk Gradually rabble gathered around the coaches to watch these luncheons.

Weather Wisdom.

A very curious method of making weather predictions has been discovered by an old French farmer
 'on Christmas Eve" he says. "when the bells begin to ring for midnight mass, take twelve onions and place them in a row on a table. The first onion will represent January, the second Febru- ary. and so on. Next make large slit in each onion and pour some salt into 1t. If at the end of an hour you find that the salt in the March onion has melted you will know that there will be much rain in March, and. on the other hand, if the salt in the April onion is not melted, you may be certain that April will be a dry month. Moreover. if the salt in any onion is melted at the top, but not at the bottom, the first fortnight of the month will be wet and the second fortnight dry"

Madame the Countess Anna de Mon- taigu. journalist. has just returned to her native America after some seven months residence in Paris, where she has lived of and on more than in the United States in the past few years. She is warmly in- terested in the progress of her own sex. in humanitarian movements and in the achievements ~of science as one after an- other they flash up and Illuminate this old world. Being besides one of those
 trained observers that all newspaper peo-
 pie must be if they are worth anything. Mime. Montaigu is one of the most de- lightful and instructive of interviewees.
 She infuses--she cannot help it--her own dainty and charming feminine personal ity into her talk, making it doubly enter-
 taining It was Countess de Montaigu who first sent to this country the ac- counts of Dr. Baraduc's experiments in photographing mental states. She ob- tained from pr. Baraduc himself photo- graphs of the human face showing varf- ously anger. fear, joy or love, weird pic- and flashes of light.
 The countess also obtained the first copies of those strange drawings which
 Dramatist Sardou declares with all sol-
 emnity were made by his hand without any will or conscious motion on his part just shaped themselves under his hand
 Madame is likewise especially fortunate in enjoying the acquaintance and frtend- ship of Camille Flammarion, whom she met at Dr. Baraduc's. 'In Paris" she says, 'in the best literary and artistic circle the question is not. Have you mon ey? but have you brains?" After all. 1t seems as if the better class of French people are not so mercenary as Americans and English.
 Mme de Montaigu discovered among other queer French developments the existance of an actual school of magic It continues and thrives, though what magical results, if any, have been achieved, is not manifest. It is true. too. though 1t has been strenuously denied, that Paris really has today cult of
 black magic-devil worship-whose devo-
 tees perform rites and indulge in orgies indescribable Neither does it appear that
 the black magicians have achieved any
 thing. Followers of both cults entertain
 themselves, no doubt, and that is sum-
 cient.

The Danish census was, in the main, similar to the German. but omitted machinery. and asked for the wages paid to employees, classified by kind of work done. The most detailed and comprehensive of European industrial cen- suses is the one taken by Belgium in 1886. This. like the French and Hungar-

sian rabble. Fierce faces, eatening gestures, menacing growls ofnfage and hate met the glances of the merry ladies and gentlemen upon the coaches. Year by year these crowds grew larger, year by year they drew nearer and were more threatening Now the luncheons are abandoned altogether.
 The emancipation of woman moves slowly yet surely. among the French. Mostly men are dead against 1t, them- selves desiring to seem superior, and the women work on alone. In one re- spect the womans cause is nor, fortu- nate in Paris than in America, for it has a leader of fashionable society at its head. no less renowned and brilliant a woman than the Duchesse dUzes, sportwoman, hunter. automobilist and one of the most gorgeous and artistic dressers that ever lived. If the devoted American women who strive for the freedom of their sex had with them from the select fashionable set here a woman like Duchesse d Uzes every wo- man in the United States would have full citizens rights inside of ten years.
 The Duchesse d Uzes Is president of an organization called L'Avant Courier. whose object is the abrogation of the old unjust laws against women. Many of the most popular and influential la dies in fashionable French society also belong to the organization and work faithfully with the duchesse.
 Many of the titled ladies of the old noblesse are now p>or and reduced. but noble ladies still. Several of them are fashion writers and editors on the women's magazines. Vicomtesse de Rcbille is editor of Lettres Parieiennes, periodical devoted to womens inter- ests. It advocates dress reform and a return to flowing Greek draperies in- stead of the present tight corsets an hampering farments. Vicomtesse de Rebille also edits an art jewellers trade journal a beautiful magazine. She ie greatly interested in the designing and manufacture of art jewelry. She is a brilliant writer and has a most charming personality. None of the titled danes who thus earn money loses her social standing in Paris. It seems no longer noble to be idle. LILLIAN GRAY.
