there are competent teachers in charge
of ali the school room work. it is Mr..
Seger's idea that they should be taught
outside OF the school room every kind
of practical work so that when they are
grown up they viii be selfsupporting.
1T is patent even to a casual observer
that the Indians thoroughly believe in
Superintendent Seger This is because
he has been with them so long. and has
always been true and faithful to their in
terests He is well known throughout
Oklahoma by the white people as well as
the Indians, and there is no one respect
ed more highly by the most intelligent and
influential white men OF the territory.
They recognize him as a man OF sound
sense and solid character who has &C
CURED a vast amount Of practical knowl-
edge in the broad but severe school Of
every day experience.
There Is probably no one any ca

teal views that some of the Indians take
in reward TO cutting off their rations
I made particular inquiry OF Mr.. Seger
about this, and he replied as follows:
I issued some rations a short time ago
TO a few OF the old people. One old lady,
after her rations were weighed out TO
her. said it was such a little amount that
she would hardly carry it home to have
it. for il would soon be gone and she
would have to buy more. and she would
just as son buy 1t all
1T is interesting 10 note the develop
ment of the Indians in this part Of Ok
lahoma during the last twenty-five years
and the obstacles and discoura gements
that have been overcome. In 1873 when
Mr.. Seger carried the Indians out TO
Colony from Darlington, the lease had
been cancelled with the cattemen where
by the Cheyennes and Arapahos had beer
receiving about 100000 a year as rental
Their rations We're not enough TO sup
port them. They saw the need of doing
something 10 supply themselves with
food. and they understood when they
went out TO Colony that they were to
engage in farming and stock-raising.
They went TO work with a will and il was
not long before 2 families had chosen
places TO live and had made some i'm
prOvements upon them. The trading for
their lands called them to the Darlington
agency the most of one summer, and the
summer following their lands were al
loted and a payment of $l0o per capita
was made. The possession of this money
and the spending of it diverted their
minds from self-support Then came
on the Messiah craze. a belief that the
world would come 10 an end 10 the eX-
tent that the white people would be ex-
terminated along with every semblance
Of civilization. and the whole earth would
be transformed into a happy hunting
ground where the Indian would gain be
in the ascendant The teaching CT the
Messiah prophets that there was no need
Of accommodating property. as it would all
be swept away when the great change
came. was stu further demoralizing.
When the Messiah craze struck the In
dams Of this colony they had accumu-
lated 80 head Of cattle from beginning
OF Is. which had been issued 10 them BY
the government for stock purposes. Dur
ing the Messiah craze they had killed and
ate UP most Of their cattle. The next
drawback they had 10 contend with was
the issuing OF lumber for houses. The
government made the mistake Of pay
ing white men to build the houses and
thus left the Indians only a very little
TO do in getting their homes II IS the
same old story that We appreciate cur
blessings only in proportion TO what they
cost us
1T is interesting 10 note that the school
has furnished for its OWE use as much as
81 90 worth Of beef in a single year. be-
SIDES an abundance OF mutton during the
warm weather. Over SS.cae has been re-
allied from the products Of the farm in

Profitable Vacation spent by Girl
who Had Taste for
the study.

Some people have not the time to ac-
quire knowledge that may be benefit
to them, but there are a few among
those who are willing to pay as literally
as the gentleman with whom Welles-
ley. girl recently came in contact. Being
in search of summer employment by
means of which she could add to her
comforts during the next term of school,
she was requested by a mutual acquaint-
ance to call upon a millionaire noted
for his ironclad business methods and
heart which was supposed to be as hard.
AS she entered his Office he curtly dis
missed his stenographer and turned to
his caller, saying:
Driving down to the station this
morning with my little girl, leaf
dropped into our carriage. 1t had on
the under side some queer little red
things. like tiny eggs, rough to the
touch. What are they?"
The college girl explained the larvae
described, and the man Of stocks and
bonds listened attentively. Then he
asked why certain leaves showed one
coloring when the wind blew from the
north and another when 1t blew from
the south. In short. putting the girl
through a rapid-fire examination,
watching her so narrowly that she
thought he was an authority on botany.
AS abruptly As he had opened the con-
versation he closed 1t.

don't ram it in SO fast that they'll tire

and your board at our place be satisfac-
tory? Very well. Good morning"
The young woman spent a delightful
summer, with servants at her command,
dainty apartments and good living, sim
ply because she knew botany and
pleased the whim Of a man who was
willing to pay the price for having that
whim gratifed The mother and father
were away much of the time and the girl

THE MODERN ART OF WAR.
Methods of Fighting Have steadily
Adapted Themselves to the
HnstrsrnnentnIitien.

Changes in the art OF war are now
proceeding so rapidly as to suggest
that before long entirely new phrases
of popular description will be neces-
sary The standing OF soldiers "elbow
to elbow" in battle line must soon be
regarded as the language of poetry
says Youths Companion.
With modern projectiles fighting
takes place at great distances. This
has led to the use OF an. instrument,
known as the range-hnder, by which
one army ascertains the fring-line Of
the other Soldiers can adjust their
weapons accordingly. In order to
Illustrate the enemy using the range
finder, the "ragged-line formation
has been devised. A zigzag partially
destroys the usefulness Of the instru-
ment.
Modern drill books direct the indi-
vidual to seek cover wherever he can
do so to the best advantage; they give
detailed instructions as to the use of
rocks, mounds of earth. trees and
houses In affording potection. and at
the same time giving the soldier a
chance to fire. The least possible ex-
posure OF the body consistent with ef-
fective work is now the rule
In the civil war each army had its
companies. more or less famous. Of
sharp-shooters; but to-day. through
unceasing target practice end other
drill. the endeavor is to make every
soldier an expert marksman.
The lifting of smoke from the bat
tlefeld had far-reaching effects. Mon
sieur Bloch, the famous Polish writer
on war, speaks Of the smoke Of gun
powder as "the screen behind which
for 400 years human beings have
fought and died" A clear view Of the
enemy subjects the soldiers courage
TO great strain.
Methods Of fighting have steadily
adapted themselves to the instrument
talities. The bayonet charge is now
almost as much a thing Of the past as
the Macedonian phalanx War itself
will yet yield to better methods OF set
Ting disputes Modern weapons are
constantly making it a more and more
impracticable, as well as terrible.

There has been considerable Specu a.
ton over the probable mission that re-
Gently took United States Attorney
Pliney l.. Soper to Washington. Some
guessed that he had been called there to
receive dressing down at the hands Of
his super'ors; others thought it possible
he might have gone to the capital ex-
pressly for the purpose Of preferring
charges and thus procuring the disrnis-
sal OF a certain clerk who has aspira-
tions to be the Republican national COM
mitteeman in the Indian territory. But
Mr.. Soper denies that either OF these
things was the object Of his trip to
Washington. But while denying these
insinuations he failed to take the public
into his confdence-perhaps hom an
oversight-and state whatsthe object OF
his visit to Mr.. Hitchcock aud the other
potentates really was. And perhaps his
friends here in the territory would still
be blissfulIy ignorant OF his mission
