snmethInr 81 Name.

The experience of Leon Skizieoinias-
molowsky while endeavoring to escape
from the clutches of a Long Island city
court official, was not a pleasant one.
The deputy sheriff, who had a warrant
for him, asked Leon if his name was
gkzie-but by that time Leon was
around the corner. When the deputy
sheriff caught up with him he man
aged to ask If his name was Leon Skz-
ieoini-and Leon was gone again. The
third time the deputy made a heroic
attempt by slurring over the middle
syIlables and coming in strong with the
"owsky," he felt that he had done all
that the law required. But Leon was
again on the run. The deputy pur-
sued him hotly, however, and was hap
PLY aided by the fact that the hunted
man got his feet entangled in q few
loops Of his name and fell heavily, the
officer tumbling over him. His case
and especially his name, win be called
during the present term of court, in
time, It Is hoped, to begin the trial at
the next term.-Clevefand Plain Dealer.

THE TAILOR BIRD.
Its Name Derived from the Manner
in which II Constructs
Its Nest.

This wonderful bird lives in India
1t has a beak shaped very much like 9
shoemaker's awl. The little birds en-
tirely yellow in color, and is only three
inches long. 1t derives its name from
the way in which it makes its nest-it
selects a large leaf, hanging from the
end of a twig, then it pierces a number
of holes along the edge of it with this
awl-like beak, and then gets the long
fbers of plants, which make excellent
thread, and carefully sews the edges
together ike a purse or bag, using its
bill for a needle to carry the thread
through. The ends of the thread are
knotted, so as to entirely prevent them
from slipping through the leaf. The
stalk end of the leaf is bent and
crushed so as to form a hood over the
opening Of the nest protecting it from
the sun and the rain. But what's very
strange, when the leaf is not large
enough to make the nest, this bright
little bird gets another leaf, pierces Il
with holes and pieces the two leaves to-
gether. The interior of the nest is
lined with cotton and silky grass, max
ing a very snug and comfortable home
for the little birds. The bird and its
nest full Of eggs are so very light that
they can be suspended from the end Of
Q slender twig. Would it not be inter
esting to watch this little tailor se'
lecting the leaves and the thread, and
then piercing the holes ready q
sew the leaves together to make fol
itself q comfortable little homer

erIaht Future for Territory.

Washington. Feb 10.-R. N. Butter
worth of New York is in Washington
on his way home from trip through
the Indian Territory.
The Territory contains some of the
finest agricultural lands in the coun-
try" said Mr. Butterworth.
The allotment Of land to the In.
dians by the government has been
nearly completed Each Indian will
be awarded about 800 acres, worth
about 1925 an acre The division has
been made with the Creeks and Chero.
KEGS. and that with the Choctaws and
Chickasaws will be made during the
next six weeks. OF the allotment
made to each Indian, he will be al.
lowed to sell an eighth of II after the
first year. or he may dispose of half of
it after five years. but the remainder
must be kept as a homestead for TWEEN.
ty years. This insures there never
being without a home, and, as the land
is productive they should be able &c
make a fair income annually. At pres.
ent there are no white settlers owning
property in the Territory, but some OF
them have leased land from the In,
dians, this being allowable under the
conditions laid down by the govern
ment. In fact. there are so many un,
der this condition that the whites out
number the Indians nearly four to one
and there are about 100000 Indians.

From J. c. Elliott who lives in
Northwest Ardmore. we get the fol
lowing story in which his son, Dawson,
aged ~ years, was the victim:
About 9 O'clock last Saturday night
the young man was proceeding home
on horseback and at a point about 200
yards north of the West End Wagon
yard he overlook two men afoot and
spoke to them. They Immediately
stopped and at the point of a pistol
demanded his money. Elliott thought
they were two of his neighbors playing
prank on him, but one caught hold
of the bride of the horse while the
other secured his money, amounting
to $315.
They then told him they had seen
the time they could have used his
horse and saddle, but had no need fol
it now. They concluded by giving him
a good round cursing and walked
away.
The young man says both men were
masked, one with a white rag over his
face and the other had a black mask
