Editor The Advertiser:
 In your issue of October 16th I note MT. Willingham's algebraic solution of the Mary and Ann age problem. MT WI final answer is correct, but his equation IS incorrect in the following Instances: lg plus equals 24 minus X; when 1t should read F plus equal A minus K This mis- take l believe to be due to a typogra pll- ical error. as he could not have arrived at his final answer from the equation as stated by him. I submit the following short rule for this. and similar problems
 Divide Mary's given age by I and sub- tract the quotient from Marys given age and the remainder will be Ann's present age. This rule is applicable to all exam ples of this kind, regardless of what Mary's present age may be.
 Again, by proportion:

A NOVEL COURT.

People who are accustomed to the dig nified courts of the country and to the many honored names worn by the Judges will be interested to know that among the Ponca and ottoe tribes of Indians there is genuine court which holds a session every Saturday for the purpose of hear ing and dealing with complaints among the tribesmen. An Indian Territory paper gives the names and characters of the three judges in this way:
 Renowned for his severity in condemn ing the sins that beset tribal wayfarers on the long trail is Chief Justice Little nary capacity and presides with dignity not excelied by the Lord High Chancellor of England. At his right sits Associate Justice Big Goose, humorist. If his twinkling eye tells the truth. At his left sits Associate Justice Rough Face, a striking type of the North American In- dian, with a sinister curve in the corn CTS of his mouth.
 These are all full-blood Indians. who of their positions, and who never speak a word of English while on the bench The Poncas and Ottoes have largely retained the savage indisposition to work and have acquired a fully developed fondness for the fire water of the pale-face. As the paper from which we have quoted puts it.:
 The Indians on the Ponca and ottoe res |tervations devote most of their time to two problems-figuring where they can get drink of whiskey or its equivalent and maneuvering to live seven days in ev- cry week and 365 days in every year with out work. Manual labor Is a calamity worse than famine and more to be feared than pestilence The job of whiskey drinking is supernal and both men and women indulge In convivfal hilarfty.
 Under these conditions it is but natural that the crimes and misdemeanors inci- dent to idleness and drunkenness should be prevalent and the result is that there is always something doing in this novel temple of justice. The dominant idea of the judges, So far as we can learn, Is to sock 1t to 'em' in every case, and the result is that most of the money allotted to these Indians under their treaty rights goes into the fine and forfeiture fund, and eventually to Improvements at the agency. The sessions of the court are said to afford no little amusement to the spectators, but the judges maintain a ju- dicial sternness and decorum fully in &C., cord with the Indian character And we suspect there is at least as much even- handed justice there as prevails among the courts of the whites.

Washington Special.
 It has just developed that Cal German. brother of Senator German, who for years was a special employe in the Treasury Department on duty here, was dropped from the rolls on October g.. Charges were preferred against German and three special agents were sent here to investigate. Their report caused the dismissal. Republican leaders assert that the attack made upon the President by Senator German in a New York hotel was due to anger over the treatment of his brother Officers of the department decline to state the specific charges made, but from various sources it is learned that Germans habits tnterfered with his duties,

An Ex-President's Mission.

Philadelphia Record (Rep)
 Mir. Cleveland has solved problem which at time shas puzzled statesmen. An eX-President could not fad a more import ant mission than that which circum- stances have induced him to undertakel The calls of various patriotic assOcia- tions, educational organizations and other s9cieties for addresses from MT. Cieve- land have led him to formulate his ideas about the conditions of our public life. and in forcible language he has from time to time advocated a higher Ideal or citi- zenship and a crusade against the un- even our public schools, in some instances.

And the Trouble Still Continues.

Athens, Ala, Oct. Is, 1903 Editor The Advertiser: I send you the following solution to the Ann" problem published in The Adver- tiser few days ago: Problem-Mary is A years old. Mary is twice as old as Ann was when Mary was as old as Ann is now. How old Is Ann? Let K Ann's age now,
 12= Anns age then, since Mary who Is 24, was twice as old as Ann was then X-12=Nurnber years from then till now A-CX-12)=Mary age then, which is equal to Ann's age now, hence,  24-X+12=X -2X=-36 X=1S Ann's age now.

President John Mitchell of the Mine Workers Union. made a speech at Chi cago Thursday in which he likened non union workmen, as a class, to criminals. It Is a pity that man who usually talks sense should allow himself to descend even for a moment into the claptrap of Debism.-Norfolk Landmark.
 They just can't help 1t. A man who is. or assumes to be leader of Unionlsm must at some time. talk nonsense and violence, or lose his leadership.

WILL MAKE TWO REPLIES.

The Kansas City Journal has this com- ment on Mir. Clevelanes plea for good citizenship:
 The so-called good citizen who per petually bewails the corruption of politics, but never do anything to purify it, will make two replies to MT. Cleveland's ap- peal. A busy man, they will say, cannot afford to give his valuable time to poli- tics; and even if he did, it would do no good for the wicked politicians would win in the end, anyway. The man who thinks that because he is busy he cannot afford to give a little of his time to the work of strengthening and improving the in stitutions that make 1t possible for him to have a business is not fit to live under them; and If it Is true that the good peo- pie of this country or any part of 1t are not numerous and strong enough to over throw little crew of corrupt and schem- ing politicians, they ought to abdicate their functions as citizens of free gov- epnment, for by their ignorance, selfish ness and cowardice they have already forfeited them
 The Journals conclusions are in line with the argument used in these columns Sunday. The citizen who has at heart the best interests of the government should do his duty on all occasions. and voting is a duty. It Is especially a duty of good men. just as 1t Is their duty to set good example in other respects. Nor should any man who falls to exercise this right of suffrage, and perform this duty make any complaint if the government Is not conducted to suit him. or if the laws are not such as he would like. As The Jour nal intimates, he forfeits his rights as a free citizen of the State when he fails or neglects to do his own part towards maintaining good government.

The Democrats of Massachusetts have nominated an ex-Confederate for Secre- tary of state. against the present incum- bent, who is a veteran of the Union army. Governor Bates, who Is a Republican. re- marks that If the people want to turn out a Union veteran and put in man who fought in the Confederate army they have the right to do it." Of course tkey have and 1t would be a strange event for a Confederate veteran to be elected to an important office in Massachusetts.

The MuskOBee 1T. T J FnenIN thus punc- lures a good story:
 There was very interesting story sent out from South McAlester about Miss Lu- cile Mulhall winning a prize of $lOO0 in a steer roping contest The fact. how ever, that there was no such prize of fered. and that If there had been; some local cowboy would have won it with ease, detracts somewhat from the story as an historical episode.
 Does The Phenix really think that such statement of facts can head of story with such start as this one has? The young lady herself couldn't stop 1t with a lasso.
