1t is announced that after the great
est difficulty the translation of the New
Testament into sheetswa has at last
been completed. Sheetswa. 1t may be
necessary to say. is a targon spoken by
100000 debased tribesmen of the west
coast Of Africa. In this connection IL
may be interesting to recall from DIR.
John Fox's recent report for the Amer
lean and British Bible societies that
altogether the current trsnslations of
the Scriptures into languages and dia-
iects amount to $50. At the beginning
OF the nineteenth century they num-
bered but little over fifty. In this re-
spect at least there Is no neglect OF the

A whistler Incident.

Once while lunching with friend
who knew something about the habits
and eccentricities OF good wine james
MacNeill Whistler was telling about the
peculiarities OF Henry James, how
James would drag a slender incident
through several pages until IL was ex-
hausted, whereupon his friend casual
ly remarked. THE best of wine is
spoiled by too small a spfgot." Whats

CHEERFUL FUNERALS.
London Now Runs to Gaudy Colo
In Trnpptngs OF Woe.

6oA0on NOW Nuns To Gau0y C0IOr2
In Trapptngs OF Woe.
Many people find 1t difficult to realize
that the old Fashioned funeral, with its
somber hearse, black horses and It's at
mosphere of Grape and black bordered
handkerchiefs, Is now almost a thing
OF the past and survives only among
the poorer classes.
Perhaps the account OF n Seventh
Day Adventist funeral, In which the
body was borne in blue and silver
hearse and the mourners attended
dressed in bright colors, may have
seemed extraordinary, but in reality
the event in question was not much In
advance of modern fashion.
In the north Of London, for example,
an enterprising firm of undertakers,
Messrs. Beckett & Sons, has provided
number OF many hued hearses ito
suit the taste Of everybody" IT have
hoarses In chocolate and gold" said
Mr.. Beckett, ''and others In blue and
gold. There 10 also pure white hearse

HARD TIME GETTING SLEEP.
Travelling Man Goes to Bed -Four
Times in One Night, But Ia
Still Drowsy.

Talking about sleep" remarked the
man with the tired rings around his
eyes, relates the Chicago Tribune. I'D
like to remark that last night slept in
two hotels and two sleeping cars. and
still had to get up sleepy to a dining
car breakfast just outside Of Chicago.
The house wanted me TO look up q
man down here In the southern part
of Illinois, and left Chicago for Jack
sonville about midnight Thursday. I
got to Jacksonville at seven o'clock the
next morning, and half an hour later
caught a train for the little town Of Vir-
ginia. where l thought my man lived.
But he wasn't there He was ten milea
away on a farm, and when a driver in
a top buggy started with me for the
farm it was Just ten degrees below zero,
having been II degrees below three
hours before.
But even at the farm We didn't find
the man. He had gone to Chambers
Vile. four miles away. We drove there
over still rougher roads, found him, and
started back to Virginia, getting there
in time for six o'clock supper. The best
way back to Chicago was said to be by
way Of Beardstown and Galesburg, with
the train leaving for Beardstown, 10
miles away. at $50 O'Clock.
After supper I went to bed and slept
an hour and a half, catching the bus for
the Beardstown train. got to Boards
town at nine O'Clock, only TO find that
the Chicago train did not leave there
until 1890. I got into a hotel bus and
rode uptown. and went to bed again for
nearly three hours When got back to
the station / discovered that there was
no through sleeper TO Chieago-that Il
went only TO Galesburg, where il arrived
at four O'Clock. AS a concession possible
because Of connecting trains. I could
sleep until 4:25, and should have done
soifaman with delirium tremens hadn't
wafened me up at 8. As o'clock sharp.
"But I got into a Chicago sleeper al
last lust before five o'clock and th'
wav / hammered my ear till eight o'clock
was q caution.
"But maybe YOU think I'm not SONG
to sleep to-nieht"

SUFF|CIENTLAN
TO SUPPLY ALL
Chairman Bixby Says There
Will Be Land a Plenty For
All Cherokee Citizene

A Story has been going the ROUNDS
of the territorial press to the effect
that there would not be enough land
to allot all OF the citizens Of the Cher
okee Nation, including thousands OF
intermarried whites who have been
added TO the rolls. There are about
{, 900, 900 acres Of Cherokee land sub
iect to allotment. 1t is altogether I'M
possible to state the number OF Chero-
kee citizens, as thousands of them are
contested.
Chairni5a Bixby of the Dawes COM
mission, in a statement recently given
out, said the commission took no stock
in the story whatever, and had never
given 1t out He said:
"There will be just about enough
land, according to the calculations Of
the commission. twin run Us pretty
close, but we expect no trouble in
finding the acreage; and there will be
no necessity, as stated by some OF the
papers, OF some Of the Cherokee allot-
tees being compelled to take money
from the tribal funds in lieu OF the
lands"
1t is likely the newspaper that
started the story figured on the basis
that every allottee would get 10 acres
which is not the case. II that were
true there would probably not bt
enough, but owing TO the value Of the
lands. thousands Of allottees in th'
Cherokee Nation will get Only fifty
sixty or eighty acres.
The Cherokees take into consldera
tion the value Of the land in deter
mining the number Of acres which
shall be given an allottee. -Muskoge'

THE PHILIPPINE CLIMATE.
Not SO Bad as Many Preiudiced Per-
sons Have Stated in I'M
truthful Accounts.

When the treaty wlsA Spain BY which
we acquired the Philippines was under
debate in 1898 ex-United States Senator
Edmunds in public speech affirmed that
the climate OF those islands was so fatal
to a white man thatno American could
expect to live there and bring up fam
ily. At that time, says the Portland Or
gonian, the Orgonian quoted the fact
that Englishmen had lived many years
IN a worse climate, that Of tropical
India: that Macaulay was able to do
hard legal work even in Calcutta when
the mercury stood at 90 degrees above
zero: that Thackeray was born in India,
where his parents had lived for many
years. and that Lord Roberts had cam
paigned over 40 years in India. secre-
tary OF War Taft Is over six feet and
weighs 320 pounds-not a very good sub
feet 10 endure a tropical climate-and
vet he returned from the Philippines IN
perfect health. and he suggests that the
newspapers can help the American
government BY denying the lies circu-
IattG about the terrible climate there.

The Comfort of the Guest Is Assidu-
ously But Very Quietly
Looked After.

II you are ever in Japan and happen
to be invited to dinner, do not forget
to leave your shoes outside; otherwise
you will be guilty of an objectionable
breach of etiquette. After your host has
greeted you, says the Chicago Journal,
1t is proper TO coil yourself upon thin
cushion as best you can, for q smoke

Presently in trips maiden, with soft.
gliding, noiseless steps. She carries a
small lacquered box with tray on the
top about the height of camp stool
She kneels down, sitting on her white
slippered heels, and places the tray be-
fore you, always silent. graceful and un-
conscious. On the tray are paper nap
kin. chopsticks and various kinds Of
food, such as raw fish. ehouchou Of the
bamboo. and stewed meats.
A little later two or three other maid
ems glide in and draw near 70 yourself
and host and as they change their
kimonos. apparently, between each
course they convey the impression Of a
bewildering number, although in fea-
lures they are much alike to the unac-
customed western eye.
Between the courses you are treated to
geisha dances, accompanied by quietly
dressed musicians. who make an admir-
able foil for the beautiful evolntions OF
four or more dancers, every motion hav-
ing a symbolic meaning. Then comes
another course, cigarettes, more dane
ers. jugglers. another course, and so
on till late hour in the night. when you
feel that although you are not hungry
you have been tricked somehow out OF
your dinner. But you have gained a
new experience by way Of compensa-
ton.
