Charleston, South Carolina. the City
by the Sea. on the morning Of Feb
ruary IA, 1777, was unusually cold and
dreary. Sleet and snow whirled hitheE
and thitEer. and a biting northeast
wind made it advisable for all not
obliged to face the storm to remain
within.
Jane Elliott was seated near a win
dow, mechanically passing her needle
through q dainty piece Of embroidery.
She felt a chill at her heart the pre-
monition of parting from a much-lOved
parent, now dangerously i'll.
An elderly woman entered the room.
Mr. Elliott is awake she said,
"and wishes to see you"
Rising quickly. the girl went to her
fathers bedside.
"Ginnie." he murmured. using his
favorite. name for her. as with trem-
bling touch he smoothed her hair. do

paused.

BY evening the storm passed away.
The stars shone brightly; the moon
light giorifed all surrounding objects.
Again Jane Elliott stood near a win
dow. st the back OF the house. She
saw a familiar form enter the gate.
She opened the door. A moment later
Capt. William washington stood be-
fore her.

asked. Il thought you were miles

ANADARKO: Col W. L. Pratt, su-

Carlisle, Pennsylvania. met a number a
the Caddo scouts who were under his
command al TT. Arbuckle during the
years 1908. and also a delegation Of
the Fort sin Indian scouts ia the years
lS74-75 which included the affiliated
Indians belonging 90 the agency and the
prisoners who we're with him in 1875
rs, and the returned students Of Carlisle
in this section.
The event was one Of the most in
teresting that has ever occurred in tnis
section. The Anadarko baud, composed
~S white citizens and Indians led By a
Carlisle graduate furnished the music.
There was an OK roast, after which
scouts and students representing the
various tribes made addresses, followed
by an address By Col. Pratt. The spirit
Of the occasion was wholly educational
and in the interests Of good citizenship.
This affair was gotten up BY return
students and was much different from
the annual smoke dance given near II.
Sill BY Quanah Parker at the same time.
Il is a historical fact that on the ground
where Anadarko now stands was fought
the ilercest battle Of the Washita in the
Indian campaign Of is74-75, which re-
suited in the final subiugation Of the re-
bellious element Of the Kiowaa, Conan

the First National, Of this city. August

'srhe failure Of the Bank Of the Chick
asaw Nation IS not surprising to those
familiar with the manner in which The
officers conducted It." said a man well
versed in territorial affairs. when the
bank was organized one Of its first acts
was TO erect a granite bank building,
which Is undoubtedly one Of the finest
buildings in the west today. Il cost
$4,000, which was more than one-half
OF the capital Of the bank
s.Since the allotting the bank dealt ex-
tensively in leases. If not direct. through
subsidiary companies. and advanced a

GUTHRIE. The territorial school

regarding the possession Of valuable
tracts of land ia central oklahoma.
There we're numerous homesteaders in
the Cheyenne. Arapahoe country, which
vas opened 10 settlement in 1895. who
secured only q fraction Of a quarter
section Of land. This was caused by the
fact that the eastern boundary Of the
Chevenne country did not follow section
lines. ard the fellow who located next
10 the eastern boundary in many in-
stances thus received only a part OF
claim.
When the Kiowa reservation was
opened to settlement in 1901 there was
a provision that al such homesteaders,
az above described, in the Cheyenne
country could hll out their claims from
the Kiowa country, which Joined the
CHEYENNE reservation on the east. But
there was a second provision that all OF
sections 80 and l3 should he reserved for

Good Qualities of ChamberIain's
Cough Remedy.

Ashburnham, Ont, April, Is. 1903.
Il think it is only right that I
should tell you what a wonderful
effect Chamberlain's Remedy has
produced. The day before Easter I
was 90 distressed with a cold ard
cough that I did not think to be able
to take any duties the next day, as
my voice was almost choked by the
cough. The same day I received an
order from you for bottle of your
Cough Remedy. at once procured
a sample bottle, and took about three
doses of the medicine. TO my great
relief the cough and cold had COM
pletly disappeared and I was able to
preach three times on Easter Day. I
know that this rapid and Effective
cure was due to your Cough Remedy
I make this testimonial without SOL
icitation being thankful to have found
such a Godsent remedy. Respect
fully yours,
