Pawhuska, I. T., April 12.-While up

hundred allotments had been taken by
Osages AT the same time Oh-loh-
hah-wal.la,a n ex-chiei. was just max
ing fling for himself and twelve
others, mostly children and grand
children of his 1t has been the gen
.eral impression among the people who
have kept in touch with the Usage
people that the full-bloods were
strictly against allotment under any
condition whatsoever, but bis belief
seems to be without any foundation,
for the half-breed who have supposed
to be for allotment first, last and ali
the time. have not taken as many al
lotments as have the full-bloods. Yet,
Il is true that the half.breeds are In
the majority in point Of population
Oh-loh-lah-wal-la in making his thir.
teen filings had II so arranged that he
and his children and grandchildren
will have their allotments all together
and practically all in one body. Each
one of those allotted will have 100
acres OF good tillable land, making
total Of 1850 acres OF firstclass land
Besides this each one Of them is en-
titled so we are informed TO Gao
acres of pasture land, making a total
of $500 acres of pasture land. This
will make a very nice farm indeed.
II would seem TO us that the ster
now being inagurated by the Osages
is one that is leading to final allot
ment at pretty swift rate. We have
been informed that as soon as sufh
cient number have signified their will
ingness for allotment the department
will take such steps as 1t sees At &c
abolish the tribal customs now beinl
in vogue and put each In liam On his
allotment of 160 to the individual. Il
this be true Mr.. Mitscher is accom-
lplishing in a very nice what tn,

Territory are finding very difficult
Allotment is what the Osases have II
store for Themselves. It is to thei
interests to nave allotment and li
vision of all monies they have.

Henry Scales.

The death of Henry Scales is one
of the most pathetic deaths that ever
occurred In our town.
To us all the departing Of life is an
awful thing. for death TO nature has
no joyful sound, no quickening step
or Frightening smile, but holds us all
in pallid dread of the time when this
life's day is left without her sun.
But death may be sadder than sim
ply dying.
The mothers grief for the tender
babe torn from her clinging arms Is
like the rending of love-throngs from
about her very heart. yet it's comfort
ing to know it went in Innocence, un-
claimed by sorrows, unmarked by
trials.
When death claims the aged, we are
loath to give them up. In tender rev.
erence we hold the battle-scarred oak,
beneath whose boughs we've sought
the shade, upon whose trunk we've
learned to lean, but it is better so, his
youth is past, his triumphs are over,
his time has come.
But the saddest age of all for man
TO give up living is at the Threshold Of
future promise.
When everything seems bright and
full of good, when friends are many,
and joyous. when parents begin to live
again in the life of a son of promise.
A little while ago and Henry Scales
was the most popular boy in our town.
a buoyant lad with a pleasant word
for all and naught but good wishes
from everyone. But stealthy dis
ease laid hold of him. and though at
times relaxing its hold. giving hope
of recovery. It gradually sapped his
vitality, vampire like, tanning the vic
tim to Inconsistencies while sap
ping life's very blood.
