able jeweler. The diamonds Of st.
Petersburg are famous Your represen-
tative was dazzled by a succession Of
solid precious stones whose weight
could only be reckoned in avOirdupOis.
THE Jewels one sees at COvent Gar
den are slim and puny baubles by COM
parison. St. Petersburg seems to buy
it's diamonds by the pound and the
wealth of 'Ormuz and of Ind scinttl-
lates in the ears and round the slender
throats of its fair women.
Where the great ladies Of Russia
are not beautiful, they are vivacious.
Most often they are beautiful, but vi
vacity is their supreme distinction
Their faces are animated: when they
speak they live their words and the
bored look of London and the weighty
amiability of Berlin are nowhere visi-
BILE. Theirs is certain primitive
health that not even several cubic
inches of diamond and a Paris gown
can dislocate.
ITO tell the truth your representa-
tive, much as he admitted the beauty
of st. Petersburg womanhOOd. was
even more enchanted with the men,
Such mem These had made quite raw
ishing toilets. The Cossacks of the
Guard would give quality and SAVIOR to
any gathering. Picture to yourselves
bronzed and bearded heroes in ankle
long overalIs, cartridges made of silver
filigree work running along their
breasts, Oriental swords and yataghans
hanging on belts of silver, and crosses
and medals won on strange battlefieids
nesting below the cartridges. With
these were generals whose wide trous
ers were met by leather boots knee
high All wore their orders-crosses in
brilliants, in enamel or in gold, rows
of them. In England one would put
the alphabet after their names
''Hussars, infantry, artillery, dra-
goons, and rifiemen were all here, frog
ged and braided and astrachaned and
decorated. Smart students, sword on
hip, mingled with these and the mere
civilian in black evening clothes wore
a string of decorations in miniature on
the lapel of his coat"

Il Lasting Impression.

Captain Drake, chief of the bureau oi
ordnance at the Mare Island Navy
Yard, has such good memory that ne
is able to call by name nearly every
enlisted man who has ever been ship
mate" with him. He has not been on
sea duty for quite a few years, but oc-
casionally while making tour OF the
navy yard he sees some bluejacket who
served on a vessel with him, say, twen-
ty years ago Then in answer to the
jackie's salute Captain Drake gives
pleasant smile, returns the salute and
says: jackson, isn't it? You were with
me on the Saginaw or. Wilson, what
are you on now?"
Some months ago a big, strapping
sailor was working about the ordnance
building. Captain Drake noticed him
and sent a messenger to summon him
to the office.
Are you not Gilmartin?" he said
when the sailor stood in front of his
desk.
Yes, SIR" said the tar pleased at the
recognition. Il was with you on the
Saranac twenty years ago."
Il thought So" said Drake. You
were an apprentice then and they called
you red socks, because of the lurid
color of your footgear."
Yes, sir" replied Gilmartin, with
grin. It's long time, though, since
heard that name

WheeIbsrrow Ride Bet.

Two well known young men in Ard
more have made wager the payment
of which will afford no small amount
OF laughter. The republican wagers
the democrat that Roosevelts electoral
majority over Parker will exceed that
OF Mckinley over Bryan.
McKinley's majority over Bryan was
1871: the increase in the electoral col
lege gives the Democratic states 9
more votes, and the republican states
16 more while the doubtful states have
an increase of 4. If the candidates
carry the same states they carried in
1900 the republican young man will
win. The wager is that the loser will
ride the winner in a wheelbarrow from
the United States court house to the
Union depot and return.

Soecial Commissioner.

In accordance with an act of the
Chickasaw legislature Walter Colbert
OF Ardmore has been appointed spe.
cial commissioner to investigate all
segregated lands in the Chickasaw
and Choctaw nations. II is understood
that he was given authority to engage
experts in locating and determining
the value of the segregated lands
which consist chiefly OF coal, asphalt
and oil. .,r
The purpose of the act is to bring
the mineral lands prominently before
the people It is remembered that
the local lands were to be sold and
bids made. The bids did not come any
where near true value OF the coal lands
and the legislature in authorizing the
employment of Mr.. Colbert is of the
opinion that the value of said lands
will be obtained and that the nations
VIII be benefited financially by taking
such steps
The leading Indians of this nation
are in favor of selling the lands
through sealed bids, and they feel that
when the value of the coal lands are
determined by the experts the big
companies will not hesitate to control
them.
