The Muskogee correspondent Of a

following:
The slight value which me average
mll-blood Indian places upon money
is illustrated by an incident which
occurred at Ardmore while the Chick
asGw townsite payment was in prog
there.
An Indian. after receiving his share
of the payment, which amounted to
$40 started TO ride il all out on the
railroad. This was a novelty 10 him.
as he has spent his life in a ~full.blood
settlement, far removed from a rail.
road. He visited two or three small
towns along the line, including fish
oiaingo, with such regularity that he
attracted the attention OF the train
men. The conductor went to Fent
Wisdom, chief clerk who was super
vising the payment, and told him that
the Indian was spending nearly all
his time on the train and he asked
MI. Wisdom if something could not
be done to cool poor Los ardor for
fast riding. The problem solved its.

his last dollar next day and now his

Meanwhile. the House, for lack of
better quarters. met in a long apart

for the Supreme COlrt. The arrange

whose accommodation a temporary

Thus began one of the most curious
of the disputes regarding the Capitol.
The acoustics of this cd chamber have
always been a puzzle. Now the Statu-

Thornton finally suggested the placing
of draperies between the row OF mar
bic pillars at the north end of the
apartment. This served as temporary
remedy.
The echoes in the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes caused continued discussion
between 1920 and 1896. Robert Mills.
an architect under Latrobe, thought
that the trouble arose from the fact
that the walls in the rear of the col
umns. which partially surrounded the
roOm ran at different angles. He
suggested a curved wall and Il perma
nent screen parallel with the colon
made. Rulfinch attributed the faulty
acoustics to the unfinished condition of
the interior. Curtains were suspended
between the pillars and fiat ceiling

1t now appears that with the hosts Of

new ideas in the making ND of checked
