rercep,lon or ,he nenu,,ruI.

An instance of the Italian child's
quick, poignant perception Of the beau
tiful occurred the other day in one Of
the settlement libraries. A shy little
maiden, with world OF dream
thoughts in the depths Of her dark
eyes, stood by the librarians desk
waiting for Andrew Lang's Gray
Fairy Book" But when IL was given
into her small hands all the wealth Of
fairy lore between Its covers was for
moment forgotten in contemplation
OF the cover, a dainty design in gray
and silver. All thought Of the story
vanished. The child stood there ey-
ing the book with look that was a
caress, her hands just touching the
binding tenderly, as something OF frag-
lie beauty. And then, very softly, as
II TO herself, she said: II mustn't get It
the least bit dirty. It's so pretty

For llleaal FeneIna.

A few days ago at Atoka before Com.
missioner Rails, three men named
Hayhurst. Young and Mcmillan were
bound over to await the action of the
grand jury, charged with fencing OF
settling on Indian lands. District At.
tornoy wilkins appeared for the
government. The men were arraign
ed under an old Indian law which
prhibits the settling of intruders on
Indian property.
The pasture men had fifteen sec
tions OF land under fence when ar.
rested. Their scheme was TO go to
places where Indians had pastures
under fence. and where a gap occur.
red between the prospective allot-
ments. By running three wire fences
and making connections with the
fences OF the Indians, the white men
would thus gain cheap pasture.
Roads and railroad crossings were
fenced without reserve. The fellows
were bound over to await the action
Of tho grand jury. and gave bond for
$500 each Capital.

DlsausrED WITH ROOSEVELT.

Dr. H. d. Guidsy, a member of the
Louisiana Republican executive com
mittee. announces his determination
to support the Democratic nominees
IN the coming national contest. He
is disgusted with the presidents ne
gro policy, and as a Southern man
feels alarmed at the consequences.
It is hardly to be doubted that
thousands OF other white Southern
Republicans feel the same way.
though they may not be so outspoken.
In fact the leaders dare not express
themselves II they feel 80 inclined.
for they must hold their leadership
by consent Of the negroes and their
jobs by favor OF the president. Guidsy
says:
His hysterical and petty malice In
these affairs stamps Roosevelt either
as negrophile fanatic whose views
are repugnant 10 every free-born
American and a deadly insult to
every Southern.born man or as a
demagogic politician playing for the
negro vote that holds the balance Of
power in Ohio, Indiana and New
York. In either case the results are
the same and are having the same
effect North and South OF melting ne
groes 20 crime with the consequent
lynchings as daily occurrences and
leading them to inspire TO an equal
Ity that the Almighty never intended
them to have. and which In the end,
is going to result In train Of evils
that II will take a generation TO rec.
tify. Under Mr. Mckinley there was
no negro question; under Roosevelt
It Is a black cloud. No self.respecting
Southern Republican who loves his
race. his home and the principles of
his party can longer affiliate with a jar
ty that stands for social equality with
the negroes. II matters not what his
views on economic questions may be-"
That is putting the case very strong
ly. but no more so than IL deserves.
Mr. Roosevelt has taken or has in
CURED a great responsibility in excit.
ing unwholesome ambitions in the
negro race If he has honestly blum
dered and will bravely acknowledge
his error, he may gain the respect of
the thoughtful. If not, then as DR..

Bradstreet says: While the recent
experiences which Wall street has

evidence is the apparent elimination
Of a long period of expansion and
speculative activity, during which
the floating capital OF the country
has been largely exchanged for fixed
capital in the form OF stock and
