TahIequah Budgett.

Tahlequah, /. T., July 6, 1903.
The land Office opened on the
morning Of the Let, with a number
awaiting their turn 20 file.
A number Of grafters are in at
tendance and seem to be getting
their graft in with a number OF
citizens.
The contest case of Stephens VS..
Kuhn over the Balew place was
heard before the commission on
last Friday.
Quite little excitement prevail
ed in Tahlequah on the evening
OF the let, when it was learned
that one Of the Orphan Asylum
girls was under arrest due 70 q
warrant sworn out " w. w.
Hastings charging her with hsv-
ing committed the crime Of per.
Jury before the commission in fl
ing on a portion Of the town Of
Melvin for her allotment. Tenn
porary bail was readily furnished
and the case was set for Tuesday
at O'Clock. In anticipation Of
being held by the Commissioner
to await the action of the grand
Jury, bond was 10 readiness
signed by Levi Cookson and J.W
Duncan. The charges were with
drawn before going into trial and
and the young lady was discharg

seems that the town Of Melvin is
in the hands of company and
that town lot sale had been ad-
vertised for the 23rd and Oath OF

young lady stood the title 10 the

AMERICAN woRKMEN EXCEL.
What a London Journal says in Com-
pairing Them with Eng
Iishmen.

If the American workman is, as q
rule. more eficient-which seems to
be admitted cannot be entirely
due to race. For the American work
man is very often just the English
man who has crossed the seas. Theirs
are English manufacturers who em-
ploy English wcvkmen in their Amer
lean works and are amazed to notice
the immediate change in their char
acters. They become more alert and
hopeful; they have a new spring and
energy in their daily work. 1t is not
he climate. II is the atmosphere of
l, land where man is more and class
is less. says the London News.
In the United States every one
starts with a better chance. Educa-
tion is a reality Children are kept at
school until l6 or even Is. The stand

iority Of worlmen owr their own
houses. Better taught, better fed and
better housed, they start with a good
handicap ahead of their English
brothers. Such a handicap is easily
maintained. Better conditions of lie
mean an increase of self-respect.y

ABOUT WEDDING FEAsTs.
How the Catering Powers of the Cone
tinentaI Matron Are Put to
the Test.


The average British paterfamilias
and the whole army Of British bride
grooms- although they are probably
ignorant of the reason why-should
be exceedingly thankful that the we'd
ding breakfast in this country is not
quite SO formidable repast as it is
In divers parts Of the continent, where
It extends in many instances over two
or three days.
About year ago the British pater-
familias had before him notable ex-
ample Of the fare that his continental
brother in afiiiction has to provide on
the occasion of wedding in the FAM
/ lily, when the Oldest son Of judge
Of the Bikity district, in the vicinity
Of the Hungarian town of BAGS, took
unto himself a wife The number OF
guests unfortunately was not ststei

SAYS the London Pail Mall Gazette, but
it can be gathered from the quantity
Of yiands disposed Of that they were
remarkably hungry or very numerous.
As matter Of fact the pieces de re-
sigtance comprised two oxen, five
calves, three pigs, rs turkeys, 100 geese,
25O hens and SO loaves Of bread. That
the dejeuner was not lacking in sweets
is apparent from the fact that the pud-
dings alone required 165 pounds of
sugar, while TO wash them down as
much wine was required go hecto-
liters) as would fill pipe having a di-
ameter of about four inches and a
length Of $50 yards.
The continental wedding ceremony
seemingly acts as a tonic upon those
present; at least it is TO be hoped
that that is the explanation of the alb
normal appetites Of the happy peasant
RI who assemble on these occasions,
for otherwise they can rarely afford
to give themselves meal that is found
to be wholly satisfying. That the
dainty sandwiches and other light re-
freshments that the British mater
familias provides on these occasions
and the champagne that paterfamilias
calculates he viii be called upon to
furnish would not go far in the rural
districts Of France is proved by the
fact that 200 euestsata two-days' we'd

Won MoItke,s Simplicity.

Once while travelling General Moltke
entered small Swiss hotel, and as the
head waiter saw his gaunt figure stalk
ing in, wrapped in worn out, dusty
cloak, carrying an old leather satchel,
he measured his wealth by his looks
and ordered his assistant to show him
to small room in the uppermost story.
AS he was making himself comfort
able in the attic another assistant came,
as is customary there, to ask the silent
stranger his name and rank.
The consequence was that few min
utes later the proprietor, in full dress,
appeared at the door of the attic to in
form his excellency that better room
had just been vacated.

THE NUGGAR TANK.
This Loathsome Spot Is One of the
Sights of India.

Sights of India.
One of the innumerable curious sights
of India is the Nuggar tank of kura-
chi. In former times the crocodiles
which inhabit it roamed the neighbor-
hood at their will, seeking whom they
might devour, but SO great were their
depredations that the authorities were
forced to build a wall round their
haunt. This is q swamp, caused by
hot springs, the medicinal virtues of
which have been known from early
times and are attributed to the sanctity
of q Mohammedan whose tomb is close
by and to whom the crOcOdileS are sa-
cred.
The tank, as it is called, is about $50
yards long by about half that dis
lance in breadth. In this space one
eight to fifteen feet long and smaller
ones ipnumerable. They are so tame

Cushing's Chair For Visitors.

Caleb Cush:..g desired people to keep
at a distance from him while talking,
and many of his callers had habit of
gradually moving their chair nearer to
him during a conversation. So one day,
having been very much annoyed in that
way, he sent for carpenter and made
him fasten two pieces of board to the
legs of the chair and then screw it to
the floor at the place where he wanted
people to sit. When it was done, he
contemplated it with smile and re-
marked: II guess [ have got them now.
They can't blow their bad breath in
my face any more"
That chair raised a laugh on many
a visitor, who, after several Intellectual
attempts to move it forward, would,
pn looking closer, find it fastened to
abe floor.

Wonderful Little Paddock and Chain

In a curious old book entitled '"The
Wonders and Curiosities of London"
there are the following particulars con-
corning a minute paddock: In the twen-
tieth year of the reign Of Queen Eliza
beth Mark Scarliot, blacksmith made
q lock consisting of eleven pieces of
steel, iron and brass, all of which, to-
gether with the key, weighed but a
small fraction over one grain. He also
made chain of gold, consisting of
fortythree links, which, after fastening
it to the lock and key above men
toned, he put around the neck Of a
common flea, the whole being SO mi
mute that the little insect could draw
them over q silver plate with perfect
ease. All of these together, lock, key,
chain and flea, weighed slight frac-
ton less than two and a half grains.
