Still, your mother isn't to be there and

They sat together until Tom came aft
to tell them that the sun had touched
the hills and that Clavering's was only
half mile away.
Haven helped Carol to rise, and they
both looked forward over the top of the
awning. They saw steep, high bank
heavily wooded with evergreens and at
its foot tiny pier for small boats.

"Of course not" exclaimed Gladys.
You will stroll up through the pretty
path and no one will know that there
are not forty chaperons at your heels.
Still. If you'd rather. we'd take you
around to the wharf,

SO they were set ashore upon the lit

She had Tom by the arm. and both

culture is conducted by mvans " irriga-
ton. The extension uf the systeui ia
expected to do great deal for the
country. Mineral Industries are also
important. Formerly the percentage
OF illiteracy was large. but this has
~been much reduced in recent years by
increase of schools. There are several
colleges and technical schools. Santa
Fe, the capital, has many interesting
structures whose history II associated
with the old Spanish regime. among
the most ancient and picturesque be
ing the Church of San Miguel. which is
said TO he nearly 800 years old.
Oklahoma was set off from Indian
Territory in 1890. Its capital Is Guth-
rie. There is large white population
in Oklahoma. also in Indian Territory.
but in Oklahoma out of 33SS31 inhab-
itants in 1900 only 1888 were Indians.
In Indian Territory tile census of 1900
showed II population of SOLO Indians.
302.6S0 whites and 36,S70 negroes. 1t is
an interesting fact that many Of the
negroes are eX-slaves of the Indians or
descendants of such slaves Cherokees,
Chickasaws, ChOctaws. Creeks and
Seminoles are the chief tribes repre-
scented among the Indian POPULATION.
One of the most influential of the
Creek Indians is General Pleasant Por.
ter, who stands in somewhat the same
relation to the Indians that Booker r.
Washington does to the negroes He
aspires to be senator from Oklahoma
He is a man of great force and intelli-
gence and has done much to protect the
interests of his race in the dealings re-
garding their lands. General Porter Is
man OF fine presence. about tifty-fivc
years Of age. six feet in height ard of
heavy build. In his tribal costume he
makes splendid figure but ordinarily
he dresses in tailor made clothes of
the most up to date style. He received
good education as young man and
has improved his mind by wide read

Unhappy Poland, wretched land,
Again the red tide drifts
Across thy soil: again the hand
Revolt's dark flag uplifts.
Thy history is writ in blood.
Thy maps thrashing floor,
Where battles fiery ebb and flood
Has SCARED thee DER and DER.
Unhappy Poland, may you rise
From out your sea Of woes
And where the flag you cherish flies
Look down on all your foes.
Your love of freedom ne'er grows old
Poor bruised and helpless pawn;
Soon may your longing eyes behold
The coming of the dawn.
