The men who direct the course OF
affairs Of the republican party in the
Indian Territory are in evidence in
this city today.
If our erstwhile townsman, the al
ways affable w. M. Mellette, ever
thought for a moment he was any

him-he should be here today and
that irridescent dream would be dis
PEELED most cruelty.
Joe Mccoy, too, and the ever astute
Tams Bixby could learn just how well
the Soper machine was working. Some
of the boys are little clumsy about
climbing, but they are, nevertheless,
getting into the bandwagon and are
accepting the terms with as much
grace as possible.
The chief object of the meeting is,
of course, the calling Of the Indian
Territory republican convention to
choose six delegates to the Chicago
National convention.
The representation of the various
nations will also be fixed as well. prob
ably, as the manner of choosing dele

unable to give a more extended report
Of the proceedings at this time.

Why They Win Battles.

Henry Vignaud, the popular secre- tary of the United States Embassy at Paris, tells of an amusing incident in connection with the negotiations be- tween the French Foreign Office and the Japanese Embassy looking to recip- rocal trade concessions. It was de- cided to open to free trade some three ports in France and like number in Japan. The Minister of Foreign Af- fairs of the republic chose Yokohama, Kobe and Hang-yang. When an oral communication of the choice of the French was made to the Japanese am- bassador he said nothing. but mere iy smiled. During his next call at the foreign office the Oriental advised the French that His Majesty's government had selected for Japan the three French ports of Havre, Marseilles and Southampton At this the French For eign Office officials went into fits of laughter at the absurd blunder, and pointed out that Southampton was port in England.

The Discovery of the Potato.

Sir Walter Raleigh is commonly credited with having introduced the potato to civilization, but it is certain that one Hawkins, slave trader and Sir Francis Drake were both ahead of him in taking it to England. To Ral- eigh, however, rightfully belongs the credit for having brought potatoes to- the attention of Queen Elizabeth in. 1868. Their merit was long in being recognized. "The complete gardener" an English book published in 1719,. made no mention at all of them.
 The name came from the Haytian, batata, or Mexican patate. It is called "Irish potato" because the Irish were, the first Europeans to generally culti- vate it. It is now, however, one of the, chief crops of France and Germany.
 It was native of the mountainous districts from Chile to Mexico. It is of the nightshade family, which in- cludes also tobacco, belladonna, toma- to, egg plant and pepper.
