Neoroes Draw Color Line.

According to q writer in the Kan
cas- City Journal. Indian Territory has
several exclusive negro towns. One Is
called Rentiville. after one Of the pro-
moters. and is located fifteen miles
south Of Muskogee. on the Missouri.
Kansas 4 Texas railroad. The Creek
nation has q number OF other negro
towns. among them being one known
as Wildcat. 1t is = government town
site. Everything In the place is the
property of colored people. The peo-
pie OF no other race are allowed to
settle there. 1t is said by those &C.
quainted with the place that II an oc-
casional white person chances to come
in on business or otherwise the word
is soon passed around to him: white
man, don't let the sun go down on you
here!" A hint Is all that is necessary.
Another negro town is Wybark. 10
Gated on the Arkansas river at the
point where the Oklahoma branch OF
the Missouri. Kansas & Texas railroad

gee. This place is a shack town and
is well known to commercial men
making the territory. By many it is
regarded as upper tendon" in col

Paper Car Wheels.

In making paper car wheels 120 to
$50 layers are put together with flour
paste and subjected to a pressure of
500 tons while at a temperature of 12O
degrees Fahrenheit. The blocks are
then turned in lathe, slightly larger
than the tire, and the hole is bored for
the castirOn center. In turning, the
paper blocks make a shaving that re-
semble strips of leather. The average
life of the tire of a paper wheel is
about 100000 miles. That represents
about one and one-quarter inch wear.
The centers do not seem to be affect
ed by service, and they are always
good for renewal of tires unless some
accident happens to them

ARMY TRIALS.
An Infantryman's Long Siege.


This soldiers tale of food is interest
ing.
During his term of service in 18th
Infantry in Cuba and Philippines, an
Ohio soldier boy contracted disease
of the stomach and bowels which all
army doctors who treated him pro-
nounced incurable, but which Grape
Nuts food alone cured:
''In October, 1899, when my enlist
ment expired, was discharged from
the army at Calulute, Philippines, and
returned to the States on the first
available steamer that left Manila.
When | got home l was total wreck

broken-down man of my age he ever

he considered my case beyond medical
aid.

Fish Not a Brain Food.

The idea that fish nourishes the
brain is popular fallacy, says the
London Lancet 1t is doubtful wheth-
er any given food in common use con-
tains constituents which have a select
i've action. or the property of minister
ing to any one part of the body more
than another. 1t is often said that
fish is a food which ministers particu-
larly to the needs of the brain because
it contains phosphorus. AS a matter
of fact, fish does not contain it in the
free state. The notion that fish con
tains phosphorus had. no doubt. it's ori-
gin in the glowing or phosphorescence
in the lark. This phosphorescence is
due not to phosphorus at all. but to
micro-organisms.

Besides owning farm CT i hundred
acres the widow Jenkins WAS the pos
SCISSOR of a one horned COW, three
legged sheep and tame bear. All
were curiosities in their way. but the
COW and the sheep have nothing TO do
with this story. AS the side show men
say. they are thrown in without extra
cost, and it is up to the bear TO enter
tain the audience.
Besides owning a farm of nearly 200
acres, situated about half q mile be-
low the widow jenkins, Squire Davis
was the proprietor of the only wind
mill for ten miles around and the IA
ther Of q son twenty-five years old
named Harry. The windmill was q
good thing in Its way, but it viii be
blown out of this story at once and
make no temperance. The squire
was q pompous, aggressive sort of n
man who wanted to do all the bossing
ing, while the widow was q woman
with a mind of her own ard didn't
propose to be walked on by anybody.
1t thus came about that soon after she
was left a widow she and the squire
clashed. No lawsuit followed, but it
was a bad thing for the cattle and
pigs that strayed over the boundary
lines, and there was always something
doing to furnish the neighbors with
talk.
The relations between the squire and
the widow had been strained for three
or four years when two new charac-
ters came into the cast. A smart, good
looking girl named Betty Lee came to
live with the widow, and she hadn't
been there two weeks when Harry Da-
Wis saw and fell in love with her The
son had tried to stand neutral In the
quarrel, though naturally leaning to-
ward his fathers side Perhaps one
reason why he couldn't be brought to
think altogether i'll of the widow was
ON account of her bear. She had
bought the animal of stroller who had
been taken sick and shipped to dis
tant town. 1t was a big black bear,
full Of tricks and good nature. and 1t
had taken a great liking to Harry.
When the quarrel reached certain
stage of bitterness he had TO part with
the bear as well as the widow. The
separation had lasted two years or
more when Betty Lee arrived. A
month later the young man was visit

and enjoying each and every occasion.
These visits were unknown to the
father, of course, and he did not dis
