JEFFERSON exceeded all others. lie
was absent on an average, nearly 100
DAYS each year. POLK did not average
ten days each year PIERCE and b.
CHANAN did not average fifteen.
The striking fact in the foregoing
record is that absences were many and
frequent till, in VAN BUREN's time, the
Federal business. had increased enor-
mously. During Folks, PIERcE's and
BUCHANAN's terms the absences we're
few, and almost no executive acts were
done outside of Washington.
The record of each President since
BuCHANAN's term would be illuminat-
ing. II the average absences have re-
vived and increased to the magnitude
which existed during the first half CEN
tury Of the Government under the Con-
stitution, the explanation may be that
the more modern Presidents have felt,
as perhaps Mr. ROOSEVELT feels, that
the enormous amount OF supervising
work lately put on the President and
heads Of departments cannot faithfully
be done by them, either in Washing ton
or at any other place; and that, as it ia to
be done by heads Of bureaus and Of di
visions, it matters little where the Presi-
dent and the heads Of departments may
be, il within reach Of the telegraph or
telephone,
Some of our esteemed contemporaries
ask how the Post Office frauds can be
investigated properly when both the
President and Postmaster-General are
absent from Washington. That is an
exceptional case, and does not touch
what is the main consideration which
is excessive executive work, unwisely
solicited by the President and wrongly
put upon his shoulders.

the liver, bowels and kidneys become
sluggish and inactive, the digestion ini-

The government is missing an
exceptional opportunity to pro
vide means with which to endow
the people OF Indian territory
with a permanent school fund in
disposing of the coal lands. These
lands are soon to be sold TO the
highest bidder, but everybody IN
derstands that this means they
will 20 practically for song. The
fixing Of a miLimum price by law
operates to make the price fixed
the figure at which they will be
sold. II, instead Of disposing of
these lands at the price fixed by
law, the government would buy
them up and endow the territory
with them as school fund, it
would execute one OF the best bus
mess strokes that has character
lied its handling OF affairs in the
entire history Of that section.
When statehood comes to Indian
territory, congress will necessarily
have TO provide for a school fund.
In the coal lands the people would
have an endowment that would,
while paying handsome rental
each year, constantly increase in
value and afford a school fund
that would be the equal Of any
state in the Union.-Oklahoman.

order relating to the segregated
Delaware lands which is of inter

ing on the lands embraced in thu

ings to get slice of those lands

SIR:-George w. Eaton, Of Clare.
more, Indian Territory, listed az
Cherokee citizen by intermar
riage, has, under the practice here
tofore established in this Office,
filed on land embraced in the Del.
aware segregation.
Now comes Henry Armstro ng,
listed as Delaware CherOk go,
who represents that he is the
owner and occupant Of this land ,
and he requests that he be per-
mitted to file on same, allegin &
that it is necessary for him to file
on and institute contest proceed
ines for this land in order to pro d.
tect his rights under the statutory
limit for bringing contest in a
disputed chain for an allotment Of
Cherokee land.
Upon a careful examination Of
the law / am Of the opinion that
the office made a mistake in re-
ceiving an application from any
quarter for any part Of the segre-
gated Deleware lands,
Upon an examination Of the in
structions OF the Commission aJ-
dressed to this office, | do not
find that the Office is directed
either to receive or not to receive
applications for allotmeLts within
this segregated area. It is prob
able that the practice arose within
the early days OF the opening Of
the office, when many que stions
OF an executive character bad 70
be passed on hurriedly.
II is clear to me that, in SO far
a. any Of this segregated land haa,
already been filed on, other clain-
ants 10 such pieces Of land should
be placed on an equal footing-
Therefore, the land Office is direcs
ed 10 permit any one who is per-
mitted to file on any land. to file
on such parts Of the segregated
Delaware lands as have already
been fled on.
Within the above named limit
parties will be permitted to APP
ply for permission to institute
contest proceedings.
However, on and after this date
and until further orders, no one
sill be permitted to file on any
part Of the segregated Delaware
lands which have not already been
filed on. This has nothing to do
with applications for allottable
lands, outside Of the segregation,
made by Delaware citizens and
Delaware claimants who have
permanent and valuable Improve
ments EN- braced within said out
side lands.
A copy of this letter is sent to
the Central Office, and the ques-
lions involved will be presented
to the full Commission as soon az
practicable.

The fer-de-lance is one of the most
deadly poisonous snakes in the world IT
Is common In Brazil and some of the West
Indian islands, and was particularly 40 in
the forests Of Martinique, now DESTROYED
by the volcano. The head is fiat and TRAN
suiar, the length hve to seven feet, a horny
spike at the end of the tail rasps against
hard objects. The bite is almost instantly
fatal, and even when immediate death is
averted, serious and eventually fatal
troubles may set In.
The creature which fears the monster
least is the brave cat. Seeing snake,
she at once carries her kittens to Mace
OF safety, then boldly advances to the en-
counter. She will walk to the very limit
OF the serpent's striking range and begin
20 ielnt, teasing him, startling him, try-
Ing to draw his blow. A moment more
and the triangular head, Kissing from the
col, flashes swift as If moved by wings.
But sWifter still the stroke OF the armed
paw dashes the horror aside ;f1inginr it
mangled into the dust
Nevertheless, pussy does not yet dare to
spring; the enemy, still active has almost
instantly reformed his coil; but she is
again in front Of him, watching, vertical
pupil against vertical pupil. Again the
lashing stroke; again the beautiful coun-
tering; again the living death is hurled
aside, and now the scaled skin is deeply
torn, one eye socket has ceased to fame
Once more the stroke Of the SERPENT once
, more the light, quick, cutting blow. But
the rigonocephalus is blind, is stupehed
before he can ATTEMPT to coil pussy has
leaped upon him, mailing the horrible fat
head to the ground with her two sinewy
paws. Now let him lash, writhe, strive to
strangle her. In vain. He will never lift
his head; an instant more and he lies still;
the keen white teeth of the cat have
severed the vertebra just behind the tri-
angular skull. $3.50
