NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

The packing season is so far advanced
now that most dealers are able to set
date for the final close of warehouse
handling of the crop. Some have already
finished and others are preparing to turn
the locks in their warehouse doors at an
early date. The time of year has arrived
when spring fever is epidemic and help
is becoming restless, many of the hands
going back into the farming districts,
and the packers of choice would prefer
not to be handling bundle leaf after fer
nentation starts. It is fortunate, there
fore, that packers are SO nearly finished
and the close not so much delayed be-
yond the usual season for closing this
work Four months ago at the other
end of the season packers were fearful
that they had larger contract on hand
in handling the biggest crop ever pur-
chased in the bundle than they could
successfully carry through. The job has
practically been accomplished in the face
of shortage of labor and the wonder is
how it was done. One thing has contri-
buted to this result in that the crop was
overestimated in yield and there is big
shortage in the amount of tobacco pack
ed up out of the acreage purchased
being nearly 25 per cent. less than the
ordinary yield. In view of this fact
while the crop was the largest in acre
age ever produced in the state, the yield
in cases does not much exceed some of
the other late year crops.

A Successful Order.

The Fraternal Aid Association, in
the past two of its twelve years exis-
sence has placed itself at the head Of
fraternal orders. OF fifty-five fl frater-
nal orders doing business 10 the state
OF Kansas, the f. A. A. forged itself
to the head and last year led all 9TH
ers Ia net gains, low per cent OF death
loss and lapses. The General Coun.
Gil owes nothing to the benefit or gen.
eral fund, and has $4,000 to the credit
OF the reserve fund. This healthy
condition is largely due to the efforts
OF Mr.. H. e. Don Carlos, general pres
ident OF the association. Mr.. Don
Carlos resigned his position as U. >.
Commissioner at this place to accept
his present position and yet holds
his residence here. His reelection
next month is conceded. The local
order at this place has membership
OF 107 OF our very best citizens and
the four death losses here in seven
years of its organization were paid in
| full within thirty days from date Of
death--0ne was paid IN full in four
teen days. IL pays TO belong to an
order you know to be solid.

In the matter of moving the
land Office to Tahlequah the first
ofMay or leaving it where 1t is
for some months longer there is
only one question that can proper
ly engage the attention Of the gov
ernment officials. That is the in
terests of the Cherokee people as
q whole. II it be better for the
Cherokee citizens to have the land
Office conducted at Vinita for the
present than to move it to Table
ouah it should remain where it is.
1t is already located here in q
comfortable building and the work
is running remarkably smoothly
and it would appear little less
than folly to stop the work and
move the Office seventy-ive miles
further away. No business con-
sideration should influence the
commission in moving it or allow
ing it to remain.

That old law OF the seventh seems
to have been woven into the w0of OF
things at the beginning. It has been
explained again and again how human
energies run down if deprived Of q
seventh day rest, and it has also been
stated for fact that machinery runs
better for relaxation every seventh
day and clothing too will wear great
er number of days II rested frequent
ly than II worn constantly.
Some have reasoned as follows and
have not deteced any flaw in their
logic. "Change OF occupation is rest;
therefore rest is change Of occupa :
tion.'
Various and queer are the notions
prevailing as to the proper way
to spend that seventh rest day.
Some evidently believing that Sab
bath means rest, and that rest means
change OF occupation, leave of their
plowng and planting to mend fence
and grease harness. others do elabo-
rate cooking in place Of scrubbing or
sewing, others play ball or go fishing
instead OF the clerking or draying OF
the other days.
This application OF the old law
shows only limited conception Of its
bene6cence. The French scientists
are about to photograph the soul, we
are told. Perhaps it will require some
such visible demonstration TO con-
vince some people Of the existence of
the soul but the majority of us are
willing to believe in it's existence
without seeing it and for the soul part
of man was the Sabbath given as we'll
as for the bone and muscle part.
IF this be so we must conclude that
it requires more than change Of occu-
patton which merely gives rest to the
muscles. "The Sabbath was made
for man" and the soul is as much a
part OF man as his visible self surely
Instead OF business aspirations there
needs TO enter the the religious aspi-
rations, which are as natural to a
healthy soul as hunger is to the body.
Instead OF perpetual encounter with
sordid things the soul needs to lift
itself at least one day 10 seven.

.ory originating 10 the writer's brain

"ASTRAL BELLS" OF INDIA.
Entrancing Music Heard by an Eng
liah Traveller Produced in an
Extraordinary Manner.

The 'astral bell' of India is one OF
the best known and most famous of
supposed occult or spiritual phenom-
ena. 1t is probable that it could al
ways be explained as readily as in
the following instances, described in
an article by Edmund Russell, in Ev-
erbody's Magazine.
"The most spiritual phenomena !
witnessed were the daily lite
Of the Indian people. The as
trail bell thought heard
twice. The first time was in
the beautiful guesthouse Of the
young maharaja of Rhavanagar, who
is following his noble father in every
good deed.
II was awakened one morning by
the sound of bell that in the scent
laden air seemed sweeter than any
/ had ever heard. 1t foated apparent
ly just outside my second-story ver-
anda, for knew there are no locks
nor bolts nor bells in an Indian
house. At night servants sleep across
the portals of every door, and throng
the entrance by day, always ready
to announce a visitor. 1t must be
rung by unseen hands.
Il went out on the vcranda, and
of course, being in India, was not
surprised to see an antique bell held
by great black serpent which had
parted the jessamine flowers. Per-
haps it was simply the palace cobra
calling to breakfast.
ut was the trunk of an elephant
grasping a little bell, which he was
ringing furiously to ask me to come
down and take ride on him. His
beady eye twinkled with pleasure,
and he ceased when he saw me, then
made his salaam, kneeling one knee
nearly to the ground, followed by
throwing up his trunk and trumpet
ing.

at Armada bab, was placed at my dis

afternoon, when the punkas seemed
only to shed waves of furnace heat,
listening to the continuous tomtom-

east, and l was ready for marvels
and visions.
There came the sound of most
exquisite silver bell; this time surely
