Much excitement prevails on the
Cattaraugus Indian Reservation, as well
as on other reservations of Yoik State,
over the prospects of the descendants Of
the ix Nations receiving pay Tor Kansas
lay sold to the government. 1t is said
IN y title to those lands was secured in
exchange for lands in Wisconsin a grea,
many years ago. The government is
about ready to liquidate the claim, which
will amount to quite sum to families
where there are eight or ten children.
Hon. Joseph c. Sibley has accepted
au invitation from Stow Post, G.. A. R.,
to deliver the Memorial Day address al
Tionesta. Though this will be his first
platform appearance in that capacity, he

the occasion. He has the rare gift o.
adapting himself to and concentrating
upon anything he undertakes. To his
versatility of achievement may he ap.
piled, in fair measure, the eulogy of John
son upon Goldsmith, "Nihl tetigit nj
non ornavir'-which, as we learn from 9

adorns whatever he touches up.-Frank.

When person minds only his own
business he is called selfish. When he
takes care of his means and buys only
what he can pay for he is called stingy
When he keeps his own counsel and
keeps control of his family he is called 8
tyrant. When he let's everybody do as
they please and takes what is left he is
own expense to amuse others he is called
crazy. When he does what he can
help another, at his own Inconvenience
he is called fool. What shall we do
then? Go ahead as near right as you
can, without any concern for what mer
say.
