The Chicago papers tell this story Of
little Miss Kohlsaat, who argued and
won a case Of her own. The little girl

slowly and near the pavement, and the
little girl delightedly called her pet

animal sprang from he vehicle and,
running to little Miss Koblsaat, began
jumping about her and licking her

Although Great Britain, China, France
and other great powers have seen 1T

Washington embassies. the United
States has invested but little money in
homes for its representatives abroad.
All the property the United States has
acquired for legation purposes IS not
worth more than 100000 The United
States legation which is now being built
IN Pekin VIII cost 500. 600. and Will be
FAR the best building this country has
abroad. It IS in the section Of Pekin
that the Chinese government set aside
FOR the use Of foreign powers, and stands
on ground given by China.
Legation at Tokyo.
In Tokyo. Japan. the United states
has a legation which was bought while
Mr. oiney was Secretary or State, and
is probably worth $4,000. At the Korean
capital this Government has a small
legation Office, purchased many years
ago. and worth not more than 1900.
Ground for a legation at the capital OF
Siam was given to the United States.
and 1t has a small legation Office there
which is worth several thousand dollars.
This completes the list Of legation build
ings owned by the United States
In addition to these il has two con-
sulates. one at Tangier. Morocco. and
the other az Tahiti. Society Islands. The
first is in good condition, ana is proba-

Sam" is well remembered in this

Mr. Dysart was employed once TO de-

been arrested for giggling. in church.
The charge was disturbing religious
worship Elder Tice Spears was the
preacher and informant. He was known
for his stern piety and singularly
strong voice. After he told his story. he

He didn't have long to wait. Sam

The officials OF Oklahoma are deter
mined to break up illegal practices of
hypothecating and pledging leases on
public lands for the benefit Of large
cattle and agricultural companies. ac-
cording 20 the report Of Gov. T. B.

fers shall be executed Before a notary
public or other officer empowered to
take acknowledgements in real estate

The population of the Territory Is
placed at $4,000 by the governor. The
taxable property Is estimated at 500
600 900 and the public debt Is placed at
$46l, 766. Commerce for the year amount
ed TO 1900 carloads of stuff shipped into
the Territory and IS, 500 carloads shipped
out All OF the towns and cities showed
remarkable growth and a number Of
new industries were started.
The Negro Schools.
The recent law establishing separate
schools for whites and negroes is work
ing satisfactorily. The establishment OF
the CoIored Agricultural and Normal

has done much 10 improve the negroes
and raise them in the estimation of the
whites The agricultural and othea-
schools among the Indians are doing
good work and are rapidly helping 10
solve the Indian problem.
Spectators and prOspectors have per-
sisted in going on leased lands in XII
owa, Comanche and Caddo counties In
their hunts for mineral deposits The
territorial officials have refused to admit
that the mineral laws apply to these
leased lands and are driving of the in
truders as fast as they appear.
Governor Ferguson makes a strong
plea for the admission OF Oklahoma as
State. He bases his plea on the ma
terial prosperity OF the Territory its
constantly increasing population, and
the fact that only 5 per cent of its
population are foreign born. The num-
Der OF Indians, including children, is put
at L. 900, so that he does not think they
should be considered in discussing State
