CANNOT COLLECT TRIBAL TAX.
Judge Holds That Segregation Of
Lands Loses Sovereignty.

In written decision of over 1000
words Judge w. II. II. Clayton, of the
Central District, Indian Territory, held
that the Choctaw nation has no right
to try to collect a tax against the mer-
chants or other residents of the reg.
ularly plated and sold town sites in
that nation. This decision was in the
case of the merchants of South Meal
ester against Indian Inspector ]. w.
Zevcly. Indian Inspector William
Schoenfelt, and their subordinates,
who attempted to close the stores on
the refusal of the merchants to pay
the tribal tax last April, Judge Clayton
says 1T is my opinion that when the
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
agreed to the legislation segregating
their lands from their public domain
and sold them for a price and agreed
that an alien and an Independent gov
ernment might be established over
them, they parted with every vestige
of sovereignty in relation to them and
with II their right to taxation"

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.
"A Practical Means Of Teaching Timid
AZ, People Bravery.

A writer in the woman's Home Com.
panion gives some very stimulating
advice to timid people, and suggests q
practical means Of teaching ones self
bravery. He SAYS
Believe In yourselfl That Is the
way to make other people believe In
you, and It is the way to become what
you want to he. II Is the people who
have believed thoroughly in them
selves and their missions who have
made the world believe in them.
1T Is interesting In this connection
to recall the observations of certain
psychologist who was experimenting
with chickens. His story OF a timid
chick and how 1t was trained to brav.
cry points a lesson to the difident.
This chick was so timid that he ran
from the least intrusion. II another
chick picked at him, he ran. II he
was jostled by his brothers In q
scramble for food, he withdrew from
the scramble out of pure fear. But the
psychologist set about teaching him
30 believe In himself. BY enticing the
other chickens with food he made
them run from the timid chick. Pres
emily the chick began to run after
them; and as they ran away when he
chased, he believed that they were
afraid of him, and courage famed in
his breast Little by little he got
braver, and he chased harder. He
was so set up that he began to attack
the others in front as well as In the
rear. He was so used to having them
run from him iLat he had forgotten
what II was to be afraid He became
fighter, and in the end the others
run from klm in earnest. He was
just the same chicken, SO far as his
physical powers were concerned
that is, the same in relation to the
other chicks. Only one thing had
changed-now he believed in himself,
and the hen yard was his oyster.

ent from chickens. If you are afraid
of the world, the world will misuse
you. If you march valiantly forward
1t willp retreat before you. If you take
the word fail out OF your bright lex
icon, you do not fail. 1t all lies In
what you believe you can do. Believe,
then, in yourself. Never fear failure
or hesitate to do thing because you
think you would not succeed. Just
grid yourself up, and go after what
you want, and in nine cases out of ten
you will get It,"

Woman Traps RattIers.

The problem of how to catch and
dispose of the rattlesnakes at Ten
Mile Point, near here, has been solved
by Mrs. Daniel Dutro, wife Of small
farmer. Instead of going hunting for
the reptiles, and running the risk Of
being bitten by them. this woman uses
mouse trap, and thus far has been
eminently successful in her undertake
ing.
Ten Mile Point has often been
called Rattlesnake point, on account Of
the large number of rattlers that
thrive in that vicinity. Not season
goes by that several cattle are not
killed by them, and now and then a
human victim is claimed.
Mike Dutro and Jack Cornwall, the
latter a noted snake catcher, have for
long time been trying to clear the
place of reptiles, but without success.
Finally they sought the aid of Mrs.
Dutro
Nothing more simple" said the
woman, as she smiled in a superior
sort Of way.
Instead of unfolding her plans to
the men and thus allowing them to
gain all the glory, she secured num-
ber of common circular mouse traps
which she baited and set around In va
rious places. Then she retired to her
own room to sleep the sleep Of the
just. When she entered the kitchen
in the morning she found that each
trap was filed. In each hole was a
snake, which had been attracted by
the bait, and which had been choked
to death when the trap was sprung.
All the other traps. which had been
set in various places about the farm
contained snakes, and on counting the
kill 1t was found that sixteen had been
captured. The smallest was a trifie
more than a foot in length, while the
largest was four feet and had eight
rattles. II the supply Of traps holds

Evolution's Great Factor.

why should men compete for liv
Ing? What Is our reason for It II not
to enable us to combine to do those
things which the undeveloped mind
sees no other way of doing save by
fighting one with the other? Man Is
the only sentient product Of creation
who has to struggle with his fellows,
In the midst of abundance. for the
bread that perisheth. Struggle and
strife are not. as has been alleged, the
greatest factors In evolution. Love Is
much greater. Not by competing. but
by combining. has progress been
made. The incentive to rise higher Is
in the universe around us and in the
unknown power within us, which leads
us, when healthy in mind and body, te
be dissatisfied with what We are and

The Panama canal treaty has been
rejected unanimously by the Colombian

but that the bases given for the treaty
will probably prove unacceptable to
the United States. 1t is considered.
however, in official circles, that the
authorization given by congress to
make new treaty will furnish ba-
sis for reopening negotiations with the
United States. 1t appears that one
objection to the ratification of the
treaty which carried weight in the
Senate was that the Panama Canal
Company did not come to a previous
arrangement with the Colombian gov

cession.
