bet, and on that account a printers s. case of type IS quite different from that
 in English and is qite a complicated
 affair. There are-in-the Cherokee Ma tion only five printers who are able to set this Cherokee type for the newspa-
 per. These five have greater monopo- ly than any union or trust, but they
 have never been known to strike.
 Another peculiar feature about the
 Advocate is that its editor and mana
 ger never has to worry about how bus Einess keeps up. The paper is a national Iinstitution and is supported by the na-
 tion, the council passing an approprias tion every year for it's support. The
 paper is distributed free to the full blood Cherokees who cannot read Eng. fish. There are one thousand copies sent to them every week. In addition to this, however, there are hundreds of copies sent out oyer the United States as curiosity. This is the only publi- cation that has ever been printed in Indian language using Indian charac- ters. In the other nations of the Five
 Civilized Tribes a good deal of matter
 of interest to Indians is published in the
 Indian language of that nation, but English characters are used. Kansas City Journal.

 Alaskan Millionaire.
 Harry Hill, the millionaire lumber man of Alaska who found his fortune when he discovered the tusk of a mastodon. is in this city.
 Although q young man, Mir. Hill is reputed to have fortune large enough to make even Russell Sage sit up and take notice, and he made it all out of lumber. Nome City from which he halls, was practically built of lumber furnished by him
 The story of the mastodon tusk and Hills rise to prosperity through it is common property in the great north west Territory.
 Seven years ago he went to Alaska as prospector He failed to make a strike, and was about to return to the States. When traveling north of Nome he saw great forests there, and knew that fortune greater than any gold mine existed in them. Putting a know ledge of the lumber industry to work, Hill soon acquired the right to cut un- limited timber, but he lacked the means to do it. He had no money to pay the enormous cost of a sawmill in that territory, and he saw no chance of get ting it until one day the mastodon's s tusk appeared on the scene.
 In the heart of dense forest through which the young man was wandering and making plain plans for the future, but at the same time keeping his eyes onan fnr new Snanins nf finn Fa,ti ba leaned to rest for moment against what he though was an enormous | powder. As he did so there was a crash, he felt himself falling in cloud of dust, and when, much surprised, he picked himself up again, 1t was to find l that the powder was in reality the skull of an antediluvian monster. In vestigating further, he discovered that | it was the skull of mastodon, with it's tusks buried in the ground, just as 1t had fallen thousands of years ago in some great battle with it's kind. Secur- l ing tools, he dug downward and un- i earthed one perfect tusk and the brok- en half of another.
 To make a long story short, he sold the great tusk to the Canadian govern ment for SS,0O0, and through this sale met people who financed him in his lumber project.
 From the broken half he has had different small objects made for use as presents, and Edward VII of England plays billiards with the only ivory balls l ever made from the tusk of a lnasto- don. Denver Post

IS SUNDAY A DAY OF REST?
Sunday of ourtl Childhood Compared

Sunday of Our Childhood Compared
 With That of To-day.
 Sunday, from being a day of rest for man and beast, has become the busiest day of the week. So many society peo- pie live in the suburbs that the English weekend parties have become an es- abolished custom in this country, and the guests must be amused. Dinners. at home and musicales, not only irl town, but out of town, have become the regulation mode of entertainment for that day. Sunday, too, is the day now selected for repairing streets and alter. ing car tracks in the business sections which it is impossible to do during the rush and crowding of the week.
 The old-fashioned Sunday has disap. peared. that slow, easy-going day of rest and family reunion, when church and a good, solid dinner were the only distractions, and Sunday papers were of small import. Simple pleasures and yet how Festful
 The city's growth and the opening of new and convenient routes by the troll leys are in great measure responsible for the change, and the truthful excuse is given that Sunday is the only day that one is free to visit. But have the majority this excuse, or is 1t the fever ish rush after excitement and novelty? | What would the Pilgrim fathers have to say if they saw the very vanities they had turned from in the old world becoming daily more established in the new? Think of the austerity of the Puritan Sunday-the long journey to church, the long, tedious service-and | it cannot be wondered at that a reac | ton should ensue. Then came the Sum days of the last century, tho, Sundays when the breakfast was deferred to an hour later than on weekdays. Oh, the luxury of that extra hours sleep! The regulation Sunday breakfast of hot bread or griddle cakes and the haste te be ready in time for church, for tc church or meeting one must go, unless able to give some plausible excuse l The children all went to church, too, 1T those days. and if the sermon seemed endless and far Beyond the comprehen. sion of such Youthful listeners, there fwas always the compensation of drop

 The need of efforts to that end has long been discussed and is fully recog- nized by all those who are acquainted with the immigration problem in any of it's phases. On the one hand are the familiar evils of the congestion of the latest immigrants in the foreign quar- ters of the large cities; on the other is the crying need for just such labor as these aliens have to offer in certain sparsely populated and incompletely developed sections of the country whither the tide of immigration does not naturally flow.

cRusTLEss BREAD.

While there are very many persons
 who really like the crust Of bread,
 there is a larger percentage who Ter
 gard 1t as refuse and very carefully
 reflect it For this reason it is quite 2
 oord,non practice followed in a number
 of the better class cafes in the making of the sandwiches to carefully cut or
 the crust before serving it to the GUS
 onler. Whether this waste is entirely warranted or not is a question, but 1t certainly is a fact that a ,sandwleh de- { Iiyered in this shape is exceedingly al
 tractive in its appearance, which the restaurant keeper argues has much lo
 do with the patrons subsequence su- ejoyment of the morsel.
 A process has been worked out py Ia. bakerNof Jersey City, N. J., who mas I 3l,een awarded a patent covering the l method, by which he makes a loa1 ol bread without any crust WnateVer. Several features of his scheme nave Heretofore been followed in the many different processes of bread-maKlIg, hut he claims that never nefore nave thevg been combined with the idea of
 nroducing crustless bread. The hrst essential in the new method is that tbe loafs should be baked in indi- vidiIal boxes. each one having 2 lid When the oven is filled and charged
 for a baking these boxes are arranged Kin tiers. in such close proximity that the lids of the boxes in one tier are prevented from being displaced by the Erising action of the bread by the ter Eabove. Before these boxes are placed Fin the oven it is necessary that they should be partially filled with dough. The oven being properly filled, the doors are secured by screw clamps, Eand the interior subjected to steam of a pressure of about three pounds. This l.is continued for while until the baker | is satisfied that the rising dough has isflled the pans and then the pressure l is Increased to from 10 to 20 pounqs, which heats the pans sufficiently to make the loaves.
 The bread thus prepared is said to be without the least semblance of l crust When removed from the pans 1t will be found to have very thin, paperlike exterior coating, which is perfectly white when white flour has l been used Another feature which re- comments the. system of baking is the fact that the oven does not require the careful attention as when the baking is proceeding in the usual manner and the bread may be left in the oven al- most indefinitely without any danger of burning. This permits the cutting down of the force of men required around large bakery. Philadelphia Record,

rash czAR.s MoTHER IS TOR WAT

TEfE CHARS MOTHER IS FOR WAR. The war party is headed by the Czar's mother, the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, and by a group of
 grand dukes of the imperial family. One of the most remarkable features in Russian politics is the far-reaching influence which the Dowager Empress exercises on the course of public events It is puzzle why the Dowager Empress, who came to Russia from the most democratic court in Europe should
 have become more Russian and more
 Slavonic than the members of the Rus
 sian and Slavonic imperial family into which she married It is incomprehen- sible how a princess educated in free and enlightened Denmark could become the most retrograde of all the reaction- ary forces at work at the court of the Russian Empire.
 It is strange how the royal lady who, as Princess Dagmar of Denmark, was the most benevolent, softhearted and gracious member of her sex, became l transformed as the Empress Maria. Feodorovna into a harsh, relentless, Tone may even say bloodthirsty woman. Nevertheless, it is a fact that the int1u- ence of the Czars mother has invari- ably been exerted on behalf of aggres- sion and active hostility toward other nations. Iii this respect the influence of l the Czars mother always has been op- ] posed to that of the Czar's wife, who has remained unspoiled by the evil at nosphere of the Russian court. The
 Czarina is as much in favor of concilia-

tion and peace as the Dowager Elm press is inclined to aggression and war. This fundamental differences in their characters and tendencies has repeat edly caused friction. and open quarrels between the two imperial women, and the Czar. in addition to his normal burden of troubles, frequently has been called upon to mediate between his in- dignant wife and his angry mother, a task more difficult than that set for The Hague to accomplish. Unfortunate Iy the influence of the Dowager Elm press has generally proved more power ful than that of the Gzarina- -St Petersburg Letter.

 States the Cherokee Advocate. This newspaper is probably the oldest west of the Mississippi River having been established in 1914 by w.. F. Ross, whose widow lives at Fort Gibson. The Advocate is a curiosity It is print. ed half in English and half in Cherokee, the Cherokee side being printed in Cherokee characters. There are eighty five characters in the Cherokee alpha
