TO DELIVER 1000 DEEDS.
Documents Refer TO Choetaw and
Chiekasaw Allotment.

The Dawes commission has sent L
a law office in South McAlester 9,0Ot
deeds TO allotments In the ChoctaW
and ChickaSaw nations. These deeds
are now In the offices OF the national
attorneys for the nations, awaiting
the joint signatures of the governors,
which makes them ready for delivery
TO the allottees. II was agreed with
the governors that the deeds should
be sent TO the attorneys, where they
should be signed. In these two ma
tions there are 1900 deeds for freed
men. This class OF citizens receives
only homestead OF forty acres. 1t
is unnecessary TO issue more than one
deed TO each allottee. For the re-
naming 1900 allottees OF the two
nations 1t is necessary TO issue two
deeds for each person, one for the
homestead and one for the rest Of the
allotment.

EXCITING BATH TUB GAME,
It Is Played with Home Made Flo
tilla Which Is Seeking Shelter
in Safe Wharves.

That the bathtub can be utilized for
many purposes of amusement has been
proved by many boy or girl, but per-
haps never before in the following man
ner, described in the New York Mail:
Let us imagine the bathtub is har-
Dor, with one end for the water front
and the other end for the harbor
entrance. But if we are to have a water
front, where are the wharves? You are
to make them, and this is the way:
First, measure the width of the end
Of the tub which is selected for the
water front. The measurement should
be taken of the distance between the
sides, inside the tub. The mark out
your proposed wharves with pencil on
a thin pine board about foot wide,
and long enough to just float snugly be-
tween the sides of the tub at the water
front end.
Having done this, saw out the
"wharves" with a thin saw, and you will
have result like the diagram. The
"slips" between the wharves in the mid
die of the board are the narrowest, and
the others grow wider until they reach
the ends, the two end slips being the
widest, and marked with the lowest

There's little bit Of fellow whose name
you all know we'll,
Who has a pitiful grievance of which wish
to tell.
He makes but little pretension. is satisfied
all the while
TO linger around the ends of things and
finish them up in style.
But plenty of boys and girls, he says, and
folk much older, too,
Seem often bent on sighting him in a way
they shouldn't do.
They're cuttin him off and shuttin' him
out and snubbin him, one by one,
I'LL he really can scarcely hear himself
from morn to set of sun.
Dressin' and eatin' and drinkin'-they re al
ways keepin' him down,
While talkin too, and Studyin' too or
goin' about the town.
Now I want to put it before you, the boys
and girls and all
II it isn't mean and unfair, and hard to
crowd against the wall
And shove him out of his proper place-set
him off on shelf
A wee little modest fellow who can never
help himself?
And the worst of it all is coming, that when
this wrong you do,
1t is not only bad for him. but very much
worse for you.
SO now, young friends, with your dainty
ways, who always wish to please,
Don't net your tongues do careless work,
but try and mind your g's.

THE FLAMINCO AT HOME
Observation Has Proved That Roth
the Male and Female
Incubate.

Apparently two factors enter into the
damingos' type of architecture; they
must build where there is mud, and at
the same time erect structure high
enough to protect its contents from any
normal rise in the water due to tides or
rainfall, writes Frank Nj. Chapman, in
"A Flamingo City, in Century.
After watching a nesting colony of
famingos in the Bahamas for nearly
an hour" at a distance of $50 yards
Sir Henry Blake stated that the females
sat upon the nests while the males stood
up together, evidently near by. My dis
sections, however, showed that both
sexes incubate, while continued OBJ
servation from the tent revealed the
presence of only one bird of the pair
in the rookery at the same time. The
bird on the nest was relieved late in the
afternoon and early in the morning.
The one, therefore, which incubated
during the day fed at night, and his or
her place was taken by another which
had been feeding during the day. Or,
as Peter put it: II do t'ink, sir, dat when
dc lady nllymlngO leave de nest, den de
gentleman fllymingo take her place, sir;
yes, SIR
Morning and evening, then, there was
much activity in the rookery. Single
birds, or files of as many as so, were
almost constantly arriving and depart
ing, coming from and radiating to every
point of the compass.
Flamingos in flight resemble no other
bird known to me. With legs and neck
fully outstretched, and the comparative
ly small wings set half way between bill
and toes, they look as if they might fly
backward or forward with equal ease
They progress more rapidly than a
heron, and, when hurried, fly with sim
gular serpentine motion of the neck and
body, as if they were crawling in the
air.

he imagines the premises have become
haunted and hears things at night.
He certainly looks more dried up and
careworn than ever. Then there is q

NO, and l doubt II there ever Will

For the hose pipe a short piece of

No bird can develop rapidly with

Be sure to give plenty of fresh wa

cold warm the water.
If eggs are wanted for Matching DUR
poses, do not have too many cocks,
One male to Is hens for the farm is
much better than two, if all run to-

Do not attempt to winter more than
rs hens in one flock Divided into
f1ocks of this number they will do bet
ter than where 100 are compelled to
run together, and the profits will be
greater.-Commercial Poultry.
Dispose of all hens that are past the
profitable age, which is, generally
speaking, three years; and do not ex-
pect fertile eggs from cocks four to six
years old. It is best to use either one
or two-year-old males.-American

THE BEEF CARCASS.
Breeders of Beef Cattle Should Be
Familiar with Location of the
Different Cuts.

The breeder that intends to carry on
his breeding operations for a series of
years must have an ideal in his mind
or he will be unable to make progress.
Without some form toward which to
breed one is as likely to breed away
from the most profitable carcass as
toward it, There are a gootl many
men that know comparatively little
about beef animals. though they are
trying to produce them of a quality
that will demand big price in the
market, says the Farmers Review
There are many such that could not
possibly tell from what part of the
carcass the porterhouse is taken, nor
could they tell the relative value CT a
pound of neck meat and a pound of
sirloin.
Realizing this deficiency, and with
the idea of adding to the knowledge
of such matters, the United States
government issued a bulletin in which
it showed the relative proportion of

In some intangible manner, Angie
had conveyed to him the impression
that the Stiffness of her youth was
dead and buried forever. and that
any reference to it would meet a re-
buff. She had said very little, hav-
ing merely spoken and looked at him
in a perfectly courteous and calm
manner, her brown eyes curious only,
her rounded cheeks guiltless of extra
color, and yet there was a poise and
| air about her that said louder than
words: "You and your coming arc
nothing to me. Do not seek to recaiI
the foolishness of our childhood by
word or act''

1t is likely he would have been in
a worse mood had he heard the COM
ment made by Angie after their meet
ing.
II think, auntie," she said, that
Mr.. Frisbie must have expected all
Greenvale would be at the doctors
when he arrived, and he probably
wonders why we don't follow him

things have changed. He said he

If you don't Gotten to him, Stella

reprlmand. Young men worth money

Then Angie laughed To her Aunt
Comfort was as transparent as glass.
There is many a truth uttered In
jest, and many a heartache concealed
beneath sarcasm, and Angles sheer
must be taken as an index of her
feelings toward her youthful lover.
She was prepared for and did meet
him with polite Indifference, but be-
meath it lay sense of injustice and
a bit of old-time pain that no one, not
even Aunt Comfort, suspected.
