Mothers should Not ne partiaI.

The mother who shows partiality
among her children is doing both her
self and them great wrong. If one Is
brighter or more beautiful than anoth-
er the mother has no right whatever
to ever make any allusion to the fact.
Sisters and brothers become imbitter-
ed against each other because of this
showing of partiality from parents and
even grow bitter toward the parent
too. Jealousy leads to hatred, and nei-
ther emotion can thrive in any home
and conditions remain harmonious and
happy.

If you are your own laundress learn
to shirk some OF the routine work and
do not feel that knit underwear, stock
ings and kitchen towels must be ironed
every week. Rather let them be
smoothed when taken from the line
and devote the time the ironing would
have taken to reading a book, taking a
ride or making friendly call.

Obituary.

Mr.. and Mrs. Mike Flynn, of near
Nelson, mourn the death of their little
son Howard, only few days over
seven months old, who was taken from
them by death on last Saturday after
noon.
The child had suffered intensity for
the past two weeks from a complica-
tion of complaints. Human skill and
kind hands had done all in their pow
er to thwart death, but all to no avail.
Though grief stricken and sad, YET
the bereaved parents feel that their
dear little boy has gone to where pain
or death will never come:
The funeral was held Sunday morn
ing from the home at IL O'Clock con-
Quoted by Rev. M. j. Connor and the
little body was laid to rest in the Ex-
ira cemetery, there to await the res
erection morn. Mr.. and Mrs. Flynn
have the sympathy of the entire com
munity of the ntirecommvnity in their
bereavement.

There is an element in each of
the five tribes in the Indian Ter
ritory that has always been i'm
patient at the delays in opening
up the Indian country, and who
have disregarded the rights of the
Indian. This element in the
Cherokee nation has set at naught
the real Indian, overran his coun-
try, monopoIized his land and
squandered his money. The
clamor for deeds IN the Creek
country is the cry Of the boomer,
aided by faithless and corrupt
Greek citizens, who in their eager
ness to boom Muskogee and the
Creek country in advance of the
provisions of law are getting into
trouble with the department Of
the Interior. The boldness with
which these schemes have oper.
ated right under the very nose of
the Interior department in de
fiance Of all law is astonishing.
The same element in the Chero-
kee country is now in death
struggle to override the real Cher
okee citizen. The commercial
spirit that forgets all law is trying
once again to get to the front.
W. c. Rogers represents the
monopolists, pnd is being groomed
by the Doodle element in the
Cherokee nation for Chief. The
outside press, the land monopo-
lists and the boodlers have com
bined to assist Rogers into the
chiefs chair IN order that they
may further plunder the Cherokee
people. No good citizen who
loves justice and who cares for a
clean record can afford to vote
with this crowd of faithless
wolves who seek to take away
what little Is left Of Cherokee
rights both political and property.

shops of Mexico where the Juice OF
the Agave Is Sold as
Drink.

"One picturesque feature which the
American visitor to the City of Mexico
will miss is the curious, crude and
highly colored paintings which appear
on the outer walls of the pulquerias,
or puloue shops" said returned trav-
eler. according to the New York Her
aid. "a recent regulation forbids such
ornamentation and thus will disappear
one Of the most interesting customs
of the Mexican capital, from the tour
ist's point of view. However, the in
teriors of the pulque shops are still
blazing with the best efforts OF eccen-
trio mural decorators, and this may
furnish a need Of compensation for
the loss Of the quaint exterior signs.
''By the way, the names by which
the pulquerias are known and which
appear in large letters over their
doors, are scarcely less interesting
than the pictures. Formerly they
were the subjects Of the paintings.
Most extraordinary, too, are the sub
iccts represented. Let me give you
few Of them:
'The Island of Jamaica; New York;
The Great Port of Cadiz; The City Of
Mexico; the Great City Of Leon; The
Great City of Pekin.
"The Great Cataract Of Niagara; The
River Duero.
"The Exposition Of Barcelona; The
Fortress of ST. Paul; The Encamp-
ment Of Cherubusco; The Lighthouse
of San Cosme; The Fortress of Guada-
lupe."

A preacher, says an exchange,
came at a newspaper man in this
way: "You editors do not tell the
truth. If you did you could not
live; your newspapers would be a
failure" The editor replied: You
are right, and the minister who
will at all times and under all cir
cumstances tell the whole truth
about his mem bers, alive or dead,
will not occupy his pulpit more
than one Sunday and then be will
find it necessary to leave town in
q hurry. The press and the pull
phi go hand in hand, with white
wash brushes and pleasant words
magnifyiDg little virtues into big
ones. TIE pulpit, pen and grave
stone are the great saint making
triumvirate. And the great min
lister went away looking very
thoughtful, while the editor turned
to his work and told of the sur
passing beauty of the bride, while
in fact she was at homely as
mud fence.
