1t is doubtless true that the action
of Congress in this matter WAS largely
inspired by its regard for the welfare
of the Indian. Firewater has always
/been the curse of the redman. This
was true when the first Dutch traders
landed at Manhattan and it is true
today. In recognition of this fact the
federal government has long forbidden
the sale or manufacture of Intoxicating

does Indian Territory will have about

Ralph II. Whitney. one of HoultOn's

method in regard to keeping account of
the number of horse shoes he nails on
each year. For every shoe that he
places on a horses hoof he gives his
wife one cent and at the end of the
Year he can easily tell the exact mum
Der. He has followed this method ever
since starting in business and the
amount of money which his better half
has saved is not small. In the year
1909 the number of shoes was SOME
thing like $4,000 and during the year
1904 the whole number was 12i0l.
The larger number in 1903 is accounted
fer bv the fact that during that year
for q number of weeks the roads were
exceedingly icy while iii 1904 there
we're practically no icy roads.
