During the June vacation Of the
Dawes commission when the force
Of clerks were farloughed, th-
mem bers Of tho commission were
not idle but got lot Of hard Work
Of their hands. The net result
of their work foY June is 800 Cher
okee freeman contest cases and
about an equal number Of Mis-
siasipi Choctaws, Choctaws ana
Chickasaws, signed up and ready
for final disposition.
OF course these decisions had
been worked up by the Law clerks
under the chief counsel for the
commission, Mr.. Chilian Riley,
previous to the June vacation; but
they had to be passed upon and
signed BY the commits sion.
There is lot Of work about one
ofthese cases. The decision itself
covers about a single sheet of
typsWritten matter, but the cases
will average ten or twelve pages
closely written matter most OF
which is testimony taken, In
some OF the Cherokee Freedman
cases there are 200 pages Of testi-
mony.
There are cases in which the
right Of the applicant to enroll is
contested by the nation. The
cases ia which the decisions are
unfavorabIe will be forwarded at
once to Washington for the approx
al OF the department. When the
decision is favorable, the appIica-
ton will remain with the commits
sion here for a period Of fifteen
days pending the action Of the
nation which has the right to con-
test the decision of the commis-
sion. 1t is estimated that of the /
Cherokee freedman there will be
thirty-fve per cent In which the
decision is against the applicant.
In the Choctaw, Chickasaw and
Mississippi Choctaws there will
Se ninety per cent upon which the
decisions are favorable.
In each OF these cases there is
Involved on an average, the right
of three persons, as the application
Is usually made by the head Of
family and the decision effects not
only himself but bis fam as
we'll.
Il is estimated that the cards
will average three applicants and
this means that IN the decision
signed up in June there are in
Volved the right Of 3 800 people.
10 addition to the Cherokee
Freeman cases there were signed
Up about nifty cases involving the
rights Of Cherokees by blood to
scroll. The other cases were
argely intermaIriage cases.-Mus-
Kogee Times.

Berlin lays claim to the distinction
of having the champion truant of the
world. He is a boy Of ten. Nothing
could make him attend school, and it
finally became necessary to send him

man. This lasted for a week or so, and
then he began to run away from home
at night SO that the policeman could
not find him in the morning. To stop
this practice he was locked up. One

A Match For the Cocknex

A story reaches me of a sto~ckbroking

Highlands with a shooting party.
Thinking, with Cockney assurance, to
take a rise out Of an old Highland
shepherd, he said:
"You have d fine view from this
mountain, Donald"
"Tere is, indeed, a grand view," re-
piled Donald, impassively. /.

with him to Milan as a present the

The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and la won its way to the
hearts of the people. The natural hmidiy which SO many people have felt about
giving endorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to
help others has inspired thousands of people to give public testimonials for Pc
rna who heretofore would not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men
of national and international reputation have been willing to give unqualified
and public endorsements % a proprietary remedy. No amount Of advertising
could have accomplished such a result. Peruna has won o its own merits
Peruna cures aarrho of whatever phase or location in the human body. This
is why it receives SO many notable and unique endorsements.

Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has

his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all

ON TAKING A REST
Once Year Substitute Bacon and Esss
For Birds and Burgundy

l hear n good deal about men who
won't take vacations and who XIII
themselves by ovcrwork, but it's usual
ly worry or whisky. It's not what
man does during working hours, but
after them. that breaks down his
health. A fellow and his business
should be bosom friends In the office
and sworn enemies out Of it. A clear
mind Is one that is swept clean Of busi-
ness at 6 o'clock every night and isn't
opened up for It again until after the
shutters are taken down next morning.
Some fellows leave the office at night
and start out to whoop 1t up with the
boys. and some so home to sit up with
their troubles. They're both in bad
company. They're the men who are
always needing vacations and never
getting any good out Of them. What
every man does need once year Is
change Of work-that is. If he has been
curved up over a desk for fifty weeks
and subsisting on birds and burgundy,
he ought to take to fishing for living
and try bacon and eggs, with little
spring water. for dinner.-From Let
ters From Self Made Merchant to His
Son." by George Horace Lorimer.
