Town Building.

1t is not the country that makes a
town; it is not the location; it is not
the natural conditions" but it is
the people Natural conditions, loca-
tion, etc, help. Of course, but it de-
pends, first and last, upon the people
af a community whether or not that
community is prosperous. A farmer
may have a piece of land that is rich
beyond description, and another patch
that is almost too poor to raise a dis
and yet we know that if he
tills patiently and intelligently the
poor piece of land it will yield re-
turn, while the rich tract that is nn-
titled will bring him not a penny.
Every town that is pushed and culti-
waited by intelligent citizens, yields
rich harvest in profits, and every town
that is left untitled, and isnot pushed,
will prove barren of prosperity.

What Is ain Acre !?

The unit of measure of land surface
in the United States is the acre. Ey-
cry experienced farmer carries in his
minds eye a clear idea as to the size
Of an acre. He knows just how many
bushels Of seed it takes to SOW an
acre; and he pays his hired hands and
sets his daily task for himself by the
acre. Yet, strange to say, it is i'm
possible to lay off a perfectly square
acre of land
In one square acre there are 1850
square feet. BY the application Of
square root we find the length Of the
sides of square acre to be about 20S
feet s 8l-100 inches, lineal measure.
Then 2O8. 71O32397 times 2Os. 7lO32O97
equal 43, 3,559. 99933 plus square feet.
Once more: POS. 7lO32645 multiplied by
itself will equal 43, $50. O0O36 square
feet, which is a small fraction greater
than the required amount. The ex-
act difference between the two prod
ucts given is very small, in fact, in
significant, but nevertheless it would
become noticeable if we should use
these figures in acres of great bodies
Of land. In an equal degree our dry
and liquid measures also are unsatis-
factory when we try to reduce them
to their equivalent terms in feet and
and inches. Fractions or decimals al
ways remain. This is all due to the
fact that our systems Of measurement,
except for money, were not scientific
ally devised. A lineal foot was an
ciently supposed to be the length of
the foot of the reigning king How
we got our quart and bushel nobody
knows for sure, but they probably
once indicated the amount an average
could drink at quatf or carry off at
One load.
There are none of these errors and
Incongruities in the metric system.
The different measures Of this system
IAN be reduced from one to another
without annoying fractional surpluses
and remainders. When once learned
5he metric system affords the easiest
and most practical way to take meas
lrements. 1t is gradually being
adopted by all civilized nations. The
United States has authorized its use
IN certain departments of the govern
nent In porcess of time it is proba-
Die that this system will be the one
used by all the people.

The Passing Away
Of a Great Nation
GIories Of Mighty Race are Now But Memories
Manners of the Pale Face AssimiIated.

Twenty-Five years ago land in this
country was as free to the citizens Of
the Cherokee Nation as airand water.
With abundant financial resources
and possessed Of 14,000,000 acres of
fine land and with a population less
than $4,000, the Cherokees we're a
most happy and contented people,
dwelling in Acadian simplicity, and
rejoicing and contented in their isola-
tion and apparent freedom forever
from molestation from the white man
and his ways But the trend Of civil
ization has been mighty force vest
ward and all the aboriginal peoples on
the American continent have been
compelled to give way before its ir-
resistible march.
The Cherokees have much to be
proud Of in the definite and tangible
history Of at least one whole century
They have produced men of ability in
all the different fields of human
achievement. The culture of the
white race has been eagerly adopted
by the Cherokees, and men and
women Of eminence in the field of
literature, in science, in art and in
the prowess of military glory. John

One Of our hest practical farmers
related to us the other day how he
came to change his mind about kill
ing birds, says the Hennessey, Okla
homa Clipper. HE said he formerly
took a great deal Of pleasure with his
gun and dogs. About six months af-
ter coming to the territory he told
his wife he would go out and kill a
few quail. 1t was about 4 o'clock; 50
calling his dogs he started out on his
own farm. He soon shot three quail
and his wife, knowing that if he got
thoroughly interested in the pursuit
of the game he would be out till long
after supper time, persuaded him to
come back to the house and they
would have supper, when he could go
again. "All right, said the farmer
4 will dress these and will have them
for supper. His wife remarked on
the fullness of the craws of the BIRDS
and on opening one it was found
packed full of chinch bugs! Out of
curiosity they counted and found over
400 dead chinch bugs in the craw Of
one quail. Said the farmer in relat-
ing the circumstances to us: II just
cleaned up the gun and have not shot
a bird since, and if you'll come down
to my place Of morning or evening
and see the birds coming to my farm
you'll think they know their friends. "

Awful Suffering Of Baby and
SIeepless Nights Of
Mother.
CURED BY CUTICURA
Skin Fair as a Lily with no Scar
to Recall Awful Sore
Writes Mother.

al herewith write out in full the be-
ginning and end Of that terrible disease,
eczema, which caHsed my babe untold
suffering and myself many sleepIess
nights.
"My babe was born seemingly a fair,
healthy child, but when she was three
weeks old swelling appeared on the
back Of her head, and in course of time
broke. It did not heal but grew worse.
and the sore spread from the size Of q
dime to that Of a dollar. I used all
kinds Of remedies that I could think Of,
but nothing seemed to help; in fact, it
grew worse. Her hair fell out where
the sore was, and / feared it would never
grow again. It continued until my aged
father came on a visit, and when he
saw the baby ne told me to get Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment right away.
ITO please him did so. and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over it, and
to-day she has nice head Of hair her
skin IS as fair as q lily, and she has no
scar left to recall that awful sore, and
it is over eight months and no sign Of
its returning.

MIRRORS OF ANCIENT TINES.
Egyptians Believed to Have Been the
First to Make Them.


Wilkinson shows that we are in

Egyptians. AT first they were made
Of metal, so well compounded and pol

Thebes have regained a wonderful
luster after burial for thousands Of
years. Oval in shape, they were
fastened to carved wooden handles.
References were made to such looking
glasses in Exodus and job. The
Greeks and Romans made similar
mirrors of silver.
Pliny says that the earliest glass
mirrors were made of black volcanic
glass. Through the Middle Ages,

a CATS WALKING EEAT.
It Tramped E-ahty-flye Miles TO Re,
gain it's Home.


What is probably another record
has been created, this time by cat.
which had walked from London to
overslade, near Rugby, a distance of
eighty-fYe miles.
jimmy" as the tramp" is called,
belongs to Mrs. Mark Robinson of 9
Befsizegrove, Hampstead, and is just
an ordinary medium-sized black cat.
Although seven years old jimmy"
had never before displayed any
marked nomandic tendency. It's pre-
vious rambllngs having always been
confined to the neighborhood of its
home
About the beginning of June, Mr..
Robinson brought the cat to Hamp-
stead from Oyerslade, and it was at
cnce apparent that jimmy" like the
Rev. Mr., Spalding. didn't like London.
The climax came when some furni-
ture was moved into the house. This
was too much, and "Jummy" took his
departure.
Nothing more was heard Of it until
about a fortnight ago, when news
came from overslade that jimmy"
had returned its coat a triie rough,
its limbs triae thinner, but "Jum-
my" nevertheless.
AS the cat was brought to Lon
don in closed BASKET It's achieve
ment in walking back is really re-
markable.
"Jummy" has rival IN the walk
ing craze, for cat belonging to a
friend of Mr.. Robinson walked from
Rugby to bennington, and was seen
wandering about the empty house
there, which its owner had left. 1t
has since returned TO Rugby, having
taken three months for the double
journey.
