1905, and another chief will be elected for the remaining few months of the nations existence. McCurtain is full blood and lives on farm near Kintah. He is a practical business man, cat tleman and planter, and is wealthy. He has big family. ...
 Palmer s. Moseley, chief of the Chick asaws, was also elected last fall for a term of two years, and another chief must be elected in 1905 to serve until March of the following year, when the nation dies by limitation. He is a planter and stock raiser, and has a large family. He lives at Waupanuca. He only goes to Tishomingo, the cap ital, when there is any official business to look after.
 The Seminoles have full-blood, Hull putta Micco, for their chief He will be the last to serve that tribe. The Seminofes elect for four years. Niece was chosen last fall. He belongs to the hammer and paddock element. John F. Brown, a progressive Indian, was chief of the Seminoles for 16 years. He was up for reelection last fall. He ulSG 1IS UAO1l WILL HI 1TOu uduu anu thought there was no doubt whatever of his election. In fact, he paid no at- tention to the election, taking it as a. matter of course that he would be chosen. But the Indians had got tired of his rule, and they picked up Micco, an old town king, and elected him, much to the suprise of Brown. Brown is one of the richest men in the terri tory, having made his money merchan- dising among the members of his own tribe. Niece is comparatively poor man, but is sagacious. He cannot speak the English language, and in all his dealings with the officials and whites he uses an interpreter. Re- gently he visited the Indian inspectors office here to discuss affairs concern ing his people. He alluded to the In- dian inspector as "the finger of the sec retary Of the interior.'' s..-

TRIBAL RULE CEASES
Five Civilized Indian Tribes Lose
 Chiefs After 1oo6.
Seed Men VIII Become Full-F1edged American Citizens with All Rights and Privileges
 March 4, That Year.

Under present treaties tribal gov ernments of the five civilized tribes cease on March 4, 1906. After that time there will be no more chiefs, no med- 1cine men, no great father, no reser- vations to leave and no pipes of peace to smoke. The Indians on that day will become American citizens, with the same rights as their white breth- ren, and no more. Many of them rue the proposed change. They know it cannot be delayed. On account of the early extinction of these Indian governments much interest is mani fested in Indian politics of all na- ttons at this time. In driving the final bargains with the government the various factions of the Indians are especially desirous that their par ticular side have control of affairs in the closing hours of their nation, says the Chicago Chronicle.
 Pleasant Porter, present chief of the Greeks, has served four years in that position. He is up for reelection this fall He belongs to the pro- gressive clement, is cattleman and business man and Is well off financial ". The fullbloods are making strong fight against him. They will run Charles Gibson, of Eufaula, for chief. It will be a hard fight, but Porter will likely win. This will be the last elec- tion held in the Creek nation, as the chief is elected for four years, and be- fore the next term expires tribal gov ernment will have ceased. Chief Por- ter is a widower and has two accom- plished daughters. They have one of the finest homes. in Muskogee.
 T. M. Burlington, present chief of the Cherokees, goes out of office this fall, his term expiring. He will not be a candidate fc reelection. He says about all the next and last chief will have to do is to sign what papers the government shoves under his nose, and he, himself, doesn't care for the job. He is a fine specimen of manhood. He stands about six feet six inches in height and weighs 230 pounds. He is 8 big cattleman and lives with his fam aly at Vinita. He has been chief for two terms. His successor will be the last chief of the Cherokees, as the na- tion goes out of existence during the term.
 Green McCurtain, chief of the Choc- jaws, was elected last fall. In that na- aion chief is elected every two years. So his term will expire in the fall of

had just got back from old Mexico, where he had been doing 8 dodge-out for year after killing Buck Evans, the marshal of Tucson, and at the supper hour that I met him he was in several fashions dangerous. But he had ac- quired habit in previous meetings of leaning upon me-a reed to lean upon and so I didn't care how he acted so long as he kept within the bounds of reason.
 ''We went to Chink feed outfit and ordered a stack of birds nests-which used to mean in the southwest steak smothered in onions and French fried potatoes-and I addressed myself to the task of trying to clip some of the feathers off of Jim's paradise-bird stories of the Santa Anita mountains.
 "I was just telling Crandall that he was rough and uncouth and that he wore too many guns on his person to suit my citified, civilized game, when Jim-the mesquite juice that he had taken dragging along inside of him looked up. ......
 "'Jimmy,' he said to me, I've got a. big kdll on, and I hate Chinks,' and just then the two assistants of the Chinese proprietor of the restaurant walked in, slidingly, with their soft sandals.
 Let lem go, said to Crandall when I saw him going for his guns. They're only parasites, and what do you care?
 "'This much,' said Jim, just as the two soft-footed Chinamen were pass ing into the kitchen.
 "He pulled both of his guns out, and bawled: Stand still!' to the two Chinamen. They both came to halt right abaft the kitchen.
 "'You likee die?' said Crandall then to the two Chinese, and, without g. further word, he plugged both of them through the heart.
 "The Tucson vigilance outfit got Jim about ten minutes later, and he made the most horrible fight for his life that I ever witnessed. But San Francisco doctor has got Jirn's bones nova doc tor with whom I am on terms-and every time that go out to the Gate he gives me peek at Crandalrs dried skull and says: Aren't you glad you are good?'"

WANTED TO EVEN UP.
He Was Tired of Having the Sting of His Wife's Tongue
 Continually.

He had come in from the rural dis tricts by way of the Mt. Clemens elec- tric line, and as he neared the city he hitched around uneasily and finally asked of citizen who had got on a few minutes before, relates the De- troit Free Press: A
 "Say, can you tell me where can get something made in the city?"
 That's according to what it is," was the reply. ."
 ''It's sort of bell"
 "Doorbell or cowbell?"
 "Neither one. A feller was tellin' on his vest, and he used to ring it every time anybody said anything smart" .1~> -..
 "oh, you mean the old chestnut bell?" x @%1'' 5aAJ2s 1i'' .9a
 'I don't know about the chestnuts, but it was bell that would go 'ding!' when you pressed somethin'. I want to get one made"
 "Going to resurrect the old idea, are vou?" queried the citizen with a smile.
 "I want to use it agin my wife, you know. She's got tongue on her like a whiplash. She, calls me names about 40 times day, and while pretend not to notice they hurt me like blazes. It don't do no good to talk back, as she is five times smarter'n I am and can talk ten times as fast. I've got to get one of them bells and sit there and make it go ding every time she calls me fool or a liar, and in less'n week she'll either shut up or be after a divorce. Can you understand the sit uation?"
 The other understood, and told him where he could probably get a bell made, and long ere this has sounded it's ''ding" has been thoroughly tested in the divided household up the shore.
