It 10 said the members of the
Dawes Commission are exceeding
ly much pleased with the idea OF
letting the Indian territory alone
until 1905 and are anxious for
Oklahoma to get admitted to state

territory. There was time when
the Indians were accused of being
dilatory and opposing any sort OF
change. This sentiment seems to
have been shifted to the Commits
sion that looks with Jealous eye
upon anything that threatens to
terminate its mission or shorten
its arduous duties.

LARGE FAMILIES.
Berlin Mother of Forty-five Has Twenty
eight Children.

There are more things in heaven and

curious among them is the mysterious
Way i'll which the birth-ratc of Il country
goes up and down in accordance with
political or even social requirements.
This strange phenomenon greatly eXer-
clsed the ingenuity of Roman Statis-
ticianS recently when his holiness the
Pope, desiring to commemorate the ccie-
ton of his jubilee, gave orders that every
child born i'll the Eternal city on that
memorable day-or night t. should re-
ctiVe a gift Of baby linen and small
sum ot money. The head OF the papal
treasury duly made his preparations ar-
cordingly and based his calculations at
the cost ON the averages MS reckuned by
the statistical tables. According 10 thcS,,
documents, the average number of chill
dren who come into the world daily in
the Italian capital is thirty-hve. and for
so many iunocents did the treasury IF
the Vatican make provision. But the

During the Spanish war Overton
