PROF. KROEGER'S ORGAN RECITAL.
The first impression that Mr.. Ernest
Kroeger makes on one" said a lady who
has known him for a long while is that
of the perfect and thoroughly polished
gentleman which he is" This fact will
be well understood by those who know
the history Of Mr.. Kroeger's life. He
is Of st. Louis birth and the son of a
German whose calling was that of trans
lator OF polite poems into English from
modern European languages, and to Civ
Ing instructions on the piano. 1t will be
seen that Mr. Kroeger's forbears were
of the cultured literary type. The young
er Kroeger was born in 1862 in St Louis
and learned his first lessons in music
under his father. At 10 years he was
compelled to enter a mercantile life but
he did not cease his musical studies and
several years later gave up a business
for musical career. His teachers were
Egmont Froelich. w Malmene and later
Charles KunNel one of the foremost mu-
sicians OF the country and a pupil of
Gottsohalk. At Is years of age he be
came organist of Trinity church and has
divided his attention between the piano
and the organ ever since His later
studies were pursued under the best Eu-
ropean teachers. His activity has COW
cred the held Of composition. conduct
ing. lecturinC and writing on musical
topics. He has been foremost in organ
izing and instituting associations devoted
to the study of standard music. such as
the Music Teachers National associa-
ton. Missouri State Music Teachers as
socntion. Of both Of which he has been
pr, sdent: director Of the College OF
Music OF Forest Park university. and or
eanist Of Messiah church in -. Louis
He has been made official organist Of
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
st Louis. TO be held next year.
Mr. Hroeger has a long list OF com
positions that are standard in the mu-
steal world the world over. both for the
piano and the organ. Among his most

The situation was critical, for Ruger
had determined to drive the lawful
House Of Representatives from the
State House.
A gang Of hunkidories from Cain
hoy were on the groYd to get up trou-
bic as an excuse for .niitary irterfer

to Gen. Hampton he told Ruger that
not one Of his soldiers should escape

Gen. John Il. Gordon.

Gen. John b. Gordon delivered his
famous address on the Last Days of
the Confederacy in the Court House
on December Bird to an intelligent aud
apprcciative audience. Before he
reached the city some one asked us
what rank Gordon held in the Confed-
crate ARMY. This surprised us and we
asked the same question of a number
of young people. They knew nothing
about his conspicuous military SER
vices and had no knowledge or appre-
citation Of the great and timely assist
ance he gave South Carolina in 1876
when the carpet-bag government was
overthrow.
Gen. Gordon entered the army as
captain in the 9th Alabama regiment
and was elected Colonel when the
regiment was reOrganized at Yorktown
in April, 1862 He will be II years
old next February, but is wonderfully
preserved, considering the hardships
through which he passed during tho
war. He held no bomoproof position,
but it was his lot always to be in the
thickest of every fight in which his
command took part. That he escaped
with his life is something miraculous
and recital Of his many close calls
will excite the wonder Of those who
are not familiar with his family his
tory.
"Scven Pines was the fret real
battle in which he led his regiment.
His horse was killed under him and
three bullets pierced his clothing but
he was unhurt.
At Malvcrl Hill he led Rodes's
brigade in charge Of half IL mile over
an open field. a bullet passed through
his cantren, the breast of his coat was
torn by another aud tho butt Of his
pistol carried away by another.
at Sharpsburg, in tho first part of
the battle, Gordon was twice wounded,
two balls passing through his right
leg. lie held mis- ground and another
ball passed through his left arm, sew
ering small artery. In short time
another ball pierced his shoulder.
The blood was streaming over his uni
form, but he stayed with his men un-
til fifth ball passed entirely through
his left cheek he fell to the ground.
He rose again and ordered his men
forward but his injuries were so great
that he was carried from the field. In
addition to these wounds, one ball
passed through his cap, one through
his pocket aud spent ball struck him
on tho breast, bruising him severely.
When he recovered he again entered
the field and was in active service un-
til Appomattox.
In the dark days of 1876 Gen. Cor
don went to Columbia and stood by
Gen. Hampton when President Grant
sent Gen. Ruger with good military
force down to intimidate our people
and sustain the carpet bag govern
ment.

Paralyzed AS lie Swore Oath.

Vienna, December 27.-The Zeit
publishers the following remarkable
story of q wonder that occurred at
Moscow:
A merchants widow demanded the
payment of debt of $l2,50O which
her husband had lent his partner.
The partner came to see the widow and
assured her that he had already re-
paid the money during her husband
life time. The widow refused to be-
lieve him, whereupon the partner
knelt in front of picture of the Vir-
gin Mary hanging in the room and he
swore o solemn oath that he had re-
paid the money 60 her husband.
Scarcely had he uttered the oath
when his right arm, which he had
stretched up toward Heaven, become
paralyzed. Several weeks have elaps-
ed since this occurrence, but the per-
jurer's right arm hangs helpless at
his side and the doctors say that he
has lost the use Of it permanently.

Atoka, |. r.. Dec. 31.-Tcn million
acres Of farming land are 70 be devid-
ed among Indians in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Nations beginning on the
first day Of February, 1908 On this
date the United States will open a
Government Land Office in Atoka, L.
T., and each man, womal and child In
the two nations will receive 32O acres
of average allotable lands.
In addition TO- the 10000, 900 acres
to be given to the Indians the United
States will sell to white people more
than 100000 acres Of farming and
grazing land in the Choctaw Nation.
When an Indian receives patent to
his land he will be allowed to sell one
fourth of it in one year, one-fourth in
three years and the remainder in five
years.
For thirty-fve long and weary years
the Indians have had control of the
lands and they would not permit the
white man to own one foot Of it, but
now that the land is to be divided
among the Indians and the surplus
sold to whites and the right to sell his
or her holdings given to each Indian,
the white man now has the golden op-
portunity of the age to get good
home cheap.
This is the last new country in the
Great West, aud it is good news to
the thousands Of farmers and stock
men in the old States who have the
Western fever and u strong desire TO
come West and make their fortunes.
The Indians will not work, but they
will have to support themselves, SO
their first thought will be: ''Where
may find white nan to whom I can
sell part of my land? 1 have more
than l want and more than can pos
sibly handle, so I will sell and get
money to buy food, clothing and cat
tie and send my children to school.
The climate in this country is mild
and healthful and the land produces
great crops of corn, cotton, wheat, po-
tatoes, cabbage, hay and fruits of all
kinds. The greatest soft-coal fields in
the world are in the Choctaw Nation,
and these mines are all to be sold to
the highest bidder in the next three
years, beginning about next fall.
There are twelve railroads in the Ter
ritory, and others coming soon.
The town lots in the Nation are be-
ing sold every month by the Govern
ment Of the United States and the
Choctaw Nation and titles to property
issued. At last that point in our his
tory has been reached where the white
man can get title.
The members of the Choctaw tribe
Of Indians will be the most wealthy
people in the world after their coal
mines, town lots, surplus farming
land aud their allotments are sold and
the money paid out to them by the
United States. 1t is estimated that
each man, woman and child will get
something like $4,000, in addition TO
his homestead.
The real Indians are fast disappear
ing, half-breeds are increasing and the
chances are that this is soon to he the
white man country IN name and fnot.

Fortunes 10 Samples.

Few people realize the extent of the
sample department of the modern re-
tail dry goods house, says the Youth's
Companion. Fewer still realize that
when bolt of dress goods come into
the house and is unpacked the first
thing done with it is to snip off full
yard for samples. AS much of this
goods is OF inches wide, the average
OF one yard to the bolt is low, as is
the price, fixed at IS cents. \ writer
in the Chicago Tribune makes the fol-
lowing estimates as to the cost Of sam
pies given away in tina. city.
Ten big retail dry goods houses in
downtown Chicago sent out every
year 100000 yards of woolcn dress
goods, representing retail price Of rs
cents yard, and only that an indi-
vldual customer may satisfy herself as
to what is being worn, or in one case
out OF five, that she may order u dress
pattern from one Of tie samples.
Eighty thousand yards of silk arc
cut into minute trianglcs, squares and
parallograms, meaning u retail loss of
$50 900 year to these ten stores.
And on top of this, Dearly every line
OF goods in house suffers from the
shears of the sample cutting depart
mcnt, aggregating in these zen stores
more than $l50,000 4 year.
In one of the largest retail stores q
Chicago the time for the sample craze
sets in about the middle of February
for summer goods and about the first
OF September for winter goods. At
such times 600 letters a day is fair
average. In this house the silks,
laces and finer goods generally are cut
at the several retail counters, and cut
only on order. For this purpose sam
pie blanks arc sent down to the sales
men, and if other samples are asked
from the sample cutting room they are
assembled from pigeonholc boxes
and mailed as soon as the list is com
plete.
mo one not in the business knows
just how hard it is to meet some Of
these requests said the manager Of
one of the large departments for sam
pie cutting. ''It would take an ex-
pert mindreader, working in conjunc-
ton with the owner Of the mind, to
find it out with any certainty. There
is nothing carried in stock in this
house that we are not asked TO cut
samples from. Calls for carpet sam-
pies are frequent and many times a
large piece has to be cut from the
roll In order to give any idea Of the
pattern.
Looking at the seeming waste of
CLOTH, it seems to be almost TOO heavy
to be considered, but every year the
territory of the mail order business is
enlarging, until it has become one Of
the great factors in the trade Of every
big retail house. Considered as an
established department that must be
kept up the sample cutting rooms are
important as advertising centers.
Sending bunch of new goods patterns
to the ordinary country town, we
might estimate that at least half q
dozen families will see It; and even ie
our retail trade through mail orders is
not stimulated, we may suppose that
many country merchant is reminded
OF our jobbing department. by these
students of samples
