cHocTAW DEATH PENALTY.
Condemned Man Was Shot by the Sheriff in the Presence of
 His Friends.

The street commissioner of Atoka has removed one of the oldest Indian landmarks of the town. It was a bois dare post 10 feet long and 12 inches in diameter, in the middle of what is now known as B street, says the Kan sas City Journal. It was placed there IS years ago by the Chaetaw Indians, and for many year, was used by them as a whipping post. Under the Indian laws any person who was convicted of theft was tied to this post and given 50 lash es on the bare back. For the sec ond offense he was given 100 lash es; for the third offense the penal ty was death.
 In inflicting the death penalty block of wood was laid on the ground against the post. The vic tim was stripped to his waist and was made to sit upon this block. His hands were tied behind him, his arms reaching around the post, with a white spot painted over his heart. The sheriff, who was the executioner, started at the feet of the prisoner and walked ten steps toward the sun.
 He then turned and facing the man cooked his gun and announced to the gathered throng the crime for which the man was to die. The friends of the doomed man were then permitted to go to him and bid him farewell. The father, mother or wife were the last per sons permitted to speak to him. They invariably begged of him to be brave and die like man, and ex- pressed their hope that they would meet him at the happy hunting grounds. Then the sheriff took aim at the white spot over the h. dian's heart, and so true was the craftsmanship of the executioner that q second shot was never nee essary, instant death being pro- duced by the first.
 It is said by those who know that no less than 100 persons have been tied to the Atoka whipping post and whipped, and that more than 20 have been shot at the foot of if

TROPICAL HOUSEKEEPING.
Methods Employed in Warm Coun- tries May Help Housewives
 in America.

Although the American house keepers have the reputation of be- ing the best in the world, they still have something to learn. For one thing they can find it much easier to keep their rooms clean and bright and free from dust if they follow the tropical plan of polish ing floors with beeswax, rubbed on with a cocoanut husk, instead Of covering them with carpets. 1t goas without saying that it is cas- fer 10 sweep a polished floor than a carpet and the former is much healthier because it does not col leet the dust and dirt like a car pct.
 Perhaps an absolutely bare floor, however beautifully pol isled, does not look we'll to eyes u.aecustomed to it; therefore, 1t would be advisable for the Ameri- can lousekeeper to place small rug in front of the fireplace to break the monotony of the glisten- ing surface. On the mirror-like floor they would have a striking and beautiful effect, far surpass. ing that of even the best carpets in tho marirat
 This recipe for saving dust and labor is only one of many useful hints which the American woman may pick up from the housekeeper in the tropics.
 The housekeeper is always on the lookout for a polish for brass es. In the West Indies mixture of lemon juice and ashes is used and better polish cannot be se. cured.

ANTS STAND EXTREME GOLD
Man Tells About the Insects Making Their Home in His
 Ice Box.
character

"There is very popular belief that the small ant cannot stand much cold" said a man who lives uptown, reports the New Orleans Times Democrat, but the idea is entirely wrong. There may have been a time when the ant could not endure low temperatures, but that time has passed, if it ever existed.
 ''The fact is that the ant seems to rather like the cold, if | may judge from experience at my own home. They have for some time been in the habit of making the ice box their Headquarters. They sim ply live there. It is the one favor lte spot with them. Nor are they the least bit inclined to shun the ice. Up to very recently I had thought that the ant was in the habit of burrowing deep into the ground ln order to escape the rigors of the winter. But there is nothing in this old idea. It may be due to the exigencies of the strug- gle for existence, one of the things necessary in the ceaseless fight for life. But, whatever the cause of 1t, you can put the ant down as being able to stand more cold than the average human being"

THE JOY OF FEELING RICH
Even for a Little While It Is Very Comforting, Says the New
 Club Member.

Its a queer thing, this belong ing to a club" said man who had just paid his first dues, relates the New York Sun. But it's fine to feel rich, even once in awhile.
 ''Take the simplest thing in the world-going into the house. All my life I've been used to fishing around for a latchkey, wriggling out of my own oyercoat and hol- lering to know who was home.
 But when 1 go into my club notice my club 1 can say it easy now-when I go into my club, as say, don't even push open a door. Some one in livery does that and bows as l stalk past. l am al- lowed to lift my ha eff, but that's about all. And everyone says Sir to me until feel as if part of Wall street was mine.
 Same way if I eat there. Takes a head waiter and at least one every day waiter to get me into a chair. And as for wonder ing what we're going to have for dinner and if Sundays roast of beef isn't about finished why, can have roast beef fresh every day.
 "You can do all that in fine ho- tel or restaurant, but you don't get called by name unless you're more of a rounder than I am- and what's worse is that you're not

OHIO "FIRELANDS" DISTRlCl
Tract Set Apart for Connecticut eui- ferers by Benedict ArnoloS
 Warfare.

Unnumbered native OnloahS' not to speak of hundreds oi tnuu = sands of residents of the state who have come from foreign lanos anu other states of the American union. must have wondered why d fertile and productive tract Ill northern Ohio, district when III no way hints of the rayages ol nre, should be called the "Firelands.. Among all the yieissitudes ol Ohio's early history, states the Dayton Herald, great connagra' tions were notable for thelr ao- sence. No such terrible forest fires swept this state as raYageu large areas in Michigan and W ls- consin 70 or S0 years later.
 The fires to which the name re- fers ragged in Connecticut, not Ohio, and they were the worK or British or tory soldiers, instead of the result of accidents or natur- al causes. In 17S1. when the long struggle for independence was nearly ended, Benedict Arnold commanded an expedition which ravaged the Connecticut coast or Long Island sound. He burned New London and other towns and left behind misery and destitutlon' as we'll as a more bitter hatred than he had earned before that outrage upon his native state.
 This and other cruel and sense less attacks upon Connecticut towns left so strong a feeling of sympathy and injustice behind that in disposing of Connecticut's rights in lands now forming part of Ohio, 7S1 square miles in the ex treme western edge of the west l C1li ICSCl Nt N0l0 SNl q fetA tO pN donated to sufferers by the British raids.

 Sandusky bay and Lake Erie ex tend so far southward at this poin that the five ranges of township contained only about 00,000 acre of land. The tract measured some 27 miles by 30. The Connection sufferers from the torch of the on emy lived chiefly in New London Norwalk and Fairfield, and it wa from those towns that many of tn settlers of the "Firelands" cam to build in the Ohio wilderness set dement's bearing the same name and having like civic ideals ant character.

POSTS BECAME TREES.
Straight Row of Beautiful Catalpas That Had Been Division
 Line Stakes.

"People talk of the wonderful growth of the tropical jungle" said traveller to Washington Post man, but they rarely think of the wonderful vitality and swift growth Of our own domestic trees in this country.
 "There is the poplar, for ln-. stance. Rip branches from tree, thrust them into the ground with out any care whatever, and inside of three months every one of those branches will have sent out mass of roots and be developing fast into a tree.
 Il have passed through thicket of poplars in New York State where trees of about 15 feet in height stood so close together that a man could barely push his way between them. They were all fourishing, healthy young trees, with thick trunks.
 "To my surprise, 1 learned from my guide that this whole little grove had sprungup from branches stuck into the ground after a windstorm had torn them from other trees along the road.
 "A still more wonderful tree is the catalpa, known to most boys on account of it's long bean, which some of them use for smoking after it is dry. The catalpa has such remarkable vitality that even a tree has been cut down and sawed into lengths again and again, to strike root and sprout, and finally grow up into good trees.
 "I saw fence in the middle west that consisted of a straight row of beautiful catalpas, each of them nearly 20 feet high. The row was so mathematieally straight that I wondered how the trees had grown so, especially as the row was near ly half a mile long. So rode over to them and discovered that barb wire was stretched from. tree to tree, evidently as division fence. Later 1 met the owner of the land, and he explained to me how the trees had come to grow in so per feet a line.
 "'About ten years ago. he said, I wanted to raise barb wire fence along the line of my proper ty, to prevent my cattle from straying. 1 went into the woods, and we chopped down a lot of small catalpas, about sapling size. We chopped the roots off, leaving a pointed end at the base, and sawed the crowns off clean, thus making stakes about eight feet long. These we drove into the ground in the row that you saw, and attached our barb wire to them. Inside of six months every stake had begun to sprout, and since then the fence stakes have grown into trees.'"

Because the liver is neglected people suffer

 with constipation, biliousness, N headaches and levers. Colds attack the lungs and contagious diseases take hold of the system. It Is safe to say that if the liver were always kept in proper working order, illness would be almost unknown.
 Thedford's Black-Draught is so successful in curing such sickness because 1t Is without rival as a liver regulator. This great family medicine is not a strong and drastic drug, but a mild and healthful laxative that cures con- stipation and may be taken by mere child without possible harm.
 The healthful action on the liver cures biliousness. It has an in- vigorating effect on the kidneys. Because the liver and kidneys do not work regularly, the poisonous acids along with the waste from the bowels get back into the blood and virulent contagion results.
 Timely treatment with Thed- ford's Black-Draught removes the dangers which turk in constipation, liver and kidney troubles, and will positively forestall the inroads of Bright's disease, for which dis ease in advanced stages there is no cure. Ask your dealer for a 25c. package of Thedford's Black Draught.

The story proper opens with the finding of the book by an Englisman, and carries the reader through adventure, mystery, romance and sudden death to most satisfying outcome.

 The novel recounts the adventures of a present day scientist and detective, who wake up in the latter part of this century to find our republic in absolute monarchy with a crowned king and titled nobility.
