CLOSING TRIBAL AFFAIRS.

e. 3. Johnson Of Purcell Writes His
Views Concerning this Question.
I'm behalf Of the many modest citi-
zaus and minor heirs Of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations, ] desire TO
sneak few words publicly and trust
the message will be received In the
spirit in which it is given.
In the first place | do not desire TO
be registered as a disgruntled critic
of the action of our legislators, but
from their recent actions ! fear they
do not fully realize their power TO
act i'm behalf of settling up our es-
tate.
II is a fact we have a treaty defin-
ing how our property shall be divid-
ed This being true our legislatures
have no power TO change les provis-
ions-that. Is to set aside or appro-
pirate any amount OF money for spe-
cial purposes, except to pay school
warrants and current expenses incur
red in settling up the estate. Fur
thermore. | deem IL very ineXpedient
AMI a bad precedent If at all legal,
for our legislature 20 begin TO ap-
propript, certain national funds for
a special purpose, as Il might be n
strong incentive or license for the
interior department 60 think It best
10 reserve certain money for our
ture welfare.
The delegation OF absolute power
20 one man TO assist In settling mp
our national affairs on per cent basis
Is, I'm my opinion. very unwlse and
undemOcratic. II has been the Gus
tom of our nations from time i'm
memorial TO have commission TO
represent their interests and. while
have the highest regard for the abil-
ity Of our executives ! think II much
wiser 70 have n commission, say OF
three or FIVE from each nation, 20
cooperate with the governors on a
reasonable salary and expenses, to
assist I'm settling up our important
estate as speedily and economically
as possible.
One word of comment upon the ac-
tion Of our historic Legislature:
hope and trust they fully realize the
money they are consuming belongs
principally to minor heirs, who are
not competent to speak for them
selves, and will govern themselves ac-
cordingly.
In short. all we desire Is an econ
omical, speedy and square deal.
Respectfully.
E. b. JOHNSON.

FRUIT STANDS BARRED
FROM SEVENTH STREET
West Side of Thoreughfare Between
Avenue and Marlset Must Be
Kept Clear.

No fruit stands will be allowed on the
/, , west side of Seventh street between
Pennsylvania avenue and the Market.
The application of George luras for
such permission has been refused. In
support of his request Joseph TyssoWski,
attorney for ZuTas, contended that a
bootblack stand and q flower stand are
already doing business on the street and
at his request Engineer Commissioner
Biddle reopened the case.
Major Sylvester referred Colonel Bid
dies inquiry to Lieutenant ATniss for
Investigation, expressing the opinion
that the place in question should be kept
clear and stating that he knew OF no
or bootblack stand on that portion OF
Seventh street.
Lieutenant Amiss has reported that
Michael GiIvery, an old soldier, who
pays license 20 the District, occupied
the space before the fruit vendors were
ordered from the south side of Penn
sylyania avenue between Seventh and
Eighth streets. The Market Company,
which had objected to the fruit vendors,
widened the pavement on Seventh street
and allowed the flower stand to take
position there. The late Commissioner
Ross also gave verbal instructions TO
allow the old flower man to occupy his
position.
The bootb1ack in question is a one
legged man and was allowed to take his
position by the late chief of police.
Colonel Moore. Ldeuteaant Amiss
recommended that the appii cation for a
fruit stand permit be declined. Major
and the Commissioners have again re-
fused Zuras' application.

A Cowboys Idea of the Sweet
Bye and Bye.

A bit of tender sentiment pcrmeates
every line of the following:
Last night as lay on the prairie,
And looked at the stars in the sky,
wondered if ever a cowboy
Would drift to that sweet bye and
bye"
Jack laid his pipe down and turning to
his pard who was also star gazing said:
"Old man, what do you think of that prop
well, this deal about the sweet bye and
bye. DO you think n couple of toughs like
us would stand any kind of show way up
there among them angels with their golden
wings, the golden paved streets, no end of
harps, free music, everything coming our
way, where everyone has his own private
band and the good Lord is dead onto every
angel in the herd? I've been sort of think
ing this thing over, and it hits me in the
short ribs that you and me had better sit
in that kind of game. play close and see
if we cant win, for
The trail to that bright, mystic region
Is narrow and dim so they say,
But the one that leads down to Lerdition
Is staked and bazed all the way"
And that's dead right It's no trouble
to find the trail to hades; it's cinch and
you can't lose it, for the devil is the slckest
old boy in the deck He sticks closer than
that porous plaster put on you that had
been shot with bird shot When the big
nj
| find.
They say there will be great round up
| Where CoyboyS like cattle will stand
To be cut out 10y those riders from heaven
Who are posted and know every brand"
Now, old man, that verse is the apple
dumping of the whole layout and shows
TINT no monkeying goes for minute
| How are you going to get around it? You
and me have been riding these ranges all
our lives, and we amt got a brand We've
got to croak some day. Look ut pay day.
we got our dough and where is it, Booze
fairies and hoo2e A scrap or two and
we 80 back to work. It's the same old
game you can't beat it, DO you think a
COW -puncher could go to heaven, anyhow?
II wonder was there ever cowboy
Prepared for the great judgement day
Who could say to the boss of the riders
l am ready to be driven away"
That last one is a hard crack. | don't
see why a cowboy can't get there with both
hoofs I'm going to keep cases ON them
sky pilots and try to get onto their curves,
but, old man. it's on the square, and
know it, Listen to this;
They say he will never forsake you
That he notes every action and look
But for safety you'd better get branded,
And have your name in the big tally
book
Now, you've got the whole snap right
in the neck. I'm going to get branded.
You had better shake off your hobbies and
cash in your chips with me. When we
get up yonder and jingle our spurs at the
gate of the big corral and St. Peter looks
out we II just tell his royal highness that
we are the two biggest thorough-breds that
