TRIBAL TAX.
Judge Clayton Of the Central District
EnloIns indian Agent.

The stores at South McA lester
were not closed according to the
schedule o. the Indian Office at
Muskogee. Judge Clayton recent.
ly granted a temporary iniunc-
tion sustaining the application Of
the business men OF South Nc.
Alester. Judge Stuart was the
leading counsel for the merchants.
He declared that the govern
ment did not have the power to
close a mans business with out
hearing, without an opportunity
to adjudicate the matter.
He said the sole question in
volved was; sis the power confer
red; is II exercised in accordance
with law =?
The removal OF an intruder,
Judge STUART contended. was the
sole Interpretation OF the tribal law
governing the payment of tribal
tax.
Congress 10 entering into agree
ments with the Indians never i'm
tended that the intruder's business
house be locked up; but that the
intruder himself should be elected
from the territory and this law
has since been supplanted by
the declaration that no man, who
owns a town lot shall be removed
from the territory for failure to
pay tribal tax. He denied that
the Interior Department had the
right to close a business house;
such authority was never given
the Department by any law or
treaty.
Judge Stuart's remarks were
confined TO the authority OF the
department and he concluded
without going into the various con
tentions set forth in the applica.
cation. 1t was not necessary.
During the rendition OF the de.
cision the Court was interrupted
by Mr.. Mansfield who declared
that the conditions existing in the
Greek Nation in connection with
the Buster case, which was deem
ed by the Court as sufficiently par
allel to be compared with the case
at hand; were governed by the
Greek treaty which was not to be
compared with the Chootaw treaty
in tie tribal tax applications. This
led the Court to ask IL the tribal
tax was collected In the Greek Ma.
ton, especially at Musk0gee.

THE DANCER.
BY LUE VERNON.

BY LUE VERNON.
Skin creamy as the furled magnolia bud
That stabs the duskv shadows OF her
hair;
Great startled eyes and sudden-pulsing
blood
Staining her cheek and throat. and
shoulders bare.
All, Manuelita!
Pepita mia
List the cachuca
Dance! Dance!
Swaying she stands, the while one round
ed arm
Draws her mantila's fold in shy dis
guise,
Till in the music's subtle quickening
Her tranced soul forgets the alien eyes,
Fades the swift flush, save from the rose
soft mouth,
And all the glamored memories Of
Spain.
Fling wide the veil! The vintage of the
South
Leaps in her heart and laughs through
every vein.
All, Manuelita!
Star of Cardova,
Passion and innocence,
Dance, dance.
Soft through the music steals a yearning
strain
Now distant viols grieve down the
drowsy night;
Her fluttering feet are poised, then drift
again,
Lurking with langor, dreamy with de.
light.
All. Manuelita,
Witch of the winged feet,
Lead ON to dream or death,
Dance, dance!

A tramp raped at the door of an
Olympia house the other day and
asked the woman if she could spare
him piece of bread.
"No, I can't" replied the woman ;
"and if you knew who l am, you
wouldn't have come here"
40, ard who are you" asked the
tramp.
Il am policeman's wife, and if he
were in he could take you."
"Well," replied the tramp, "if he'd
take you he'd take anybody" And he
sauntered off towards Gate City.
A few days ago young lad pre-
sented himself at the shop of a local
butcher, and when the proprietor ap-

"You don't buy so much meat now
as you did in the summer" remarked
the butcher.
NO." responded the lad, land its
because father has become a vegetar-
ian."
"Well," came the grave retort from
the butcher. You give your father
warning from me that, as rule. vege-
tarians come to violent end. Take

THE BENEFICENT LEMON.
Hints About the Lemon and Its Uses Is Beau

Hints About the Lemon and Its Uses Is Beau
tifer and Health Conserver.
The usefulness of the lemon begins
in the morning, even before you are
out of bed. The piece of half q lemon
into a glass of water and
drunk unsweetened the first thing in
the morning is an excellent remedy
for bilious disorders.
If girls appreciated the lemons
usefulness as q beautiiier they would
always have one at hand. The fingers
or finger nails may have stains that
refuse to yield to soap and water,
10 which case little lemon juice vii
usually prove successful. Before mani
touring the nails you should always
soak them for at least five minutes in
basin of water in which are few
drops of lemon juice. The skin which
grows 90 Extensively around the nails
is pushed back by orange wood sticks
first dipped in lemon juice; and as for
the teeth, no more effective cleanser
or purer mouth wash can be found
than a half-dozen drops of lemon
juice in wineglass of water.
After washing the hands, lemon
juice and water makes q splendid
bleach, but one curious thing should
be remembered. Lemon juice pure
darkens the skin, 90 do not make the
mistake Of rubbing in plain lemon
juice, instead Of diluting it with water.
Lemon juice and glycerine is good
for chapped hands. II you have q
hoaree voice in the morning lemon
juice squeezed on 70 soft sugar till it is
like syrup, and few drops OF gly-
cerine added, relieves the hoarseness
at once. while a cold on the chest, or
consumption itself, finds formidable
enemy in the following prescription:
Squeeze the juice of three lemons
over three whole eggs, shell and all.
In two or three days time the shell
will have soitened because of the effect
of the lemons acid on the lime com.
position OF the shell. Then add a
pint of rum and pound of pulverized
brown sugar candy. You can bottle
this, and take spoonful ever morning
before rising. It is simply wonderful
as a tonic.

Mrs. Dennison Wants the Babies Now Here
Provided for Before Race Sui
eide Is Discussed.
President Roosevelt's theory OF race
suicide was boldly and severely han.
died by Mrs. DENIES T. S. Dennison,
President of the National Federation
of Women's Clubs, at Salt Lake, on
the evening of the Sd inst. Her express
sions aroused storm of applause from
the two hundred club women present.
"The Need OF the Hour" was Mrs.
Dennison's subject. "Let US not talk
of race suicide until we take care OF
the babies already with u.s." she said.
"The nineteenth century imposed
upon the twentieth century many
unsolved problems. To-day New York
city has $1,000 more children than
the schools can accommodate. Last
year 5000 babies were born. Let us
not talk of race suicide until we can
take care OF the babies already with
us. The effort should be to establish
manual training institutions, libraries,
juvenile courts and all things which
shall tend to safeguard the children.
The time of the small club, devoted to
self-culture alone. is past. The pres.
ent time demands more mutual help
and the altruistic spirit, the spirit
which seeks to bear the burdens of the
brother man, is the dominant note in
club life to-day. The great work of
the general federation in the past
years has been the passage of laws
against child labor in the States of
Alabama, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia. In New York
alone there are 5000 children work.
ing in shops, in Illinois there are 2O,-
600, and in Pennsylvania $4,000. In
these States the increase in illiteracy
between the ages of ten. and fourteen
is marked. While the child labor
problem may not confront you at
present, it is an evil which creeps in
and which demands the interest and
attention of all club women.
"The real mission of woman has
ever been to comfort, to inspire, to
beautify. She has but wideued her
influence with her increased oppor-
tunity and she can only continue that
mission in a broader and fuller way
than heretofore"

The Pomeroy Independent OF re-
cent date, refers to the announcement
of Ed. S. Hamilton as candidate for
the Office of U. S. Senator as follows:
We see that arch-railroad fiunkey
Ed. S. Hamilton has declared his in
tention to be candidate for U. S. Sena-
tor against Senator Foster of his own
town of Tacoma. This is the cheek of a
government mule and the impudence of
Satan. 1t seems to us den of thieves

in place of Foster with all the objections
that could be raised against him. The
State does not believe he is notoriously
corrupt. Hamilton is Just such states

An odd house will be seen at the
Worlds Fair in st. Louis. 1t is a
house made entirely of scales and
bones of fish, by Albert Smith, a COL
ored man, who is said to be the only
architect in the world who builds such
houses. Mr.. Smith lives in St. Angus.
tine, Florida, and has just completed a
two.story building out Of this material.
The building that Mr.. Smith will
erect at the fair will be 15x1S feet and
the gable ends will be an exact re-
production of the old city gates OF St.
Augustine. The scales of the drum
are exclusively used for the work, as
they are susceptible to chemical treat
ment, which renders them peculiarly
adapted for building purposes. The
bones used are those of the shark and
occasional sawfish. The furniture is
also novel addition. The mattresses
and pillows for the beds are made of
bass scales, which by certain process
are rendered as soft as feathers. Mr..
Smith has been engaged in building
fish-scale houses for the past fourteen
years, and nine barrels of drum.fish
scales were required to complete the
house he built in St. Augustine, re-

A Hint to Farmers.

Fore Jack Frost comes with tingles
Buy some nails and shingles,
Or any other roofing they keep down at

For better be stopper
Than make your wife a mopper
Vainly sopping up the rivulet upon the
kitchen floor.
Then the pigstye, crib and lean-to

Unless your aim is skating when winter

You'll have better corn and bacon
Better prices-richer cake on

like pair OF scissors, the tongs bein &
made Of tough wire. These have
teeth. When they touch the oyster
beds they open by a manipulation of
the poles by the tonger. When he
feels his tongs strike bed he closes
the teeth upon the bivalves and brings
them to the box on the lee side OF the
sloop.
Again the tongs are opened and the
"catch" is dumped into the box, be.

all that is dumped to the cutler is not
oysters. Not infrequently the catch
is mostly empty shells. The latter are
cast back to the water for nests" or
clinging places for the young oysters.
An oyster-that is, baby oyster
will cling and grow upon anything,
but it seems to prefer its own kind, or
the shell OF its kith, on which to grow.
One old oysterman of Great South bay
has a growth of one hundred and

Contrary to an opinion shared by

1t is small wonder that King Ed
ward enjoys the American Bluepoint,
as the English oyster is q very inferior
article to its Yankee brother, being
small and not so palatable. 1t has q
peculiar copperish taste, which to the
epicure is particularly unpleasant.
Englishmen visiting New York for
the first time are much astonished to
learn the small cost of q plate OF Blue.

cious mollusks, if to be had at all
would cost at least 81 in q London
eating house.
To give an idea of the extensivenees
of the Bluepoint industry, one firm
alone this season planted forty thou
sand bushels, and they now believe
they will run short before the season
is over. The annual shipments from
Great South Bay average zoo, 900 BUSH
els. .tenths of the shipments
from the Bay are in the shell.
The arrival Of the oyster in New
York is an interesting chapter in the
life of the bivalve. They come by
sloops and steamers, in baskets and
barrels.
Nobody knows how many oysters
are opened 10 day. Most of the oys.
ters received at the East river docks
are for consumption in and around
New York. A majority of the North
river receipts are opened on the boats
which bring in the supply, thus saving
the cost OF freight.
A well.known oysterman Of New
York states that the people of the
West are particularly fond of the
Bluepoint, and that that section OF
the country perhaps consumes the
greater portion OF these bivalves.
Just before the Christmas season
the sales to European trade amount
to thousand barrels q week. This
trade keeps up from November until
