AnachrOnism.

Rev. I. X. Funk, who has written .
book upon the marvels Of clairvoyance,
was born in Ohio, in the town OF
Clifton, and a Clifton man said of him
recently: 1--WE are proud here Of the
success DR.. Funk has made in life.
We treasure a number Of stories Of
his childhood. It seems that even as
a little boy he had an unusual and
subtle mind. A clergyman put to him
one day a number Of questions about
Biblical history and he answered them
all very well. Finally the clergyman
said:
What commandment, my lad, did
Adam break when he ate the apple?"
"sIf you please, SIR was the reply,
there weren't any commandments at
that time.'"-N. Y. Tribune.

cHIcKAsAW
Separated Into Three Divisions, the
Legislature, Executive and
Judicial.

The Chickasaw government is almost
an exact replica of the administration OF
affairs in the state of Mississippi, the
former home of the tribe. The Chicka-
saws, says the Kansas City Journal,
proudly assert that their laws are the
most perfect found among Indians.
Their lawmaking body is called the
Chickasaw legislature, and its organi-
cation is an exact pattern Of the average
state legislature. There is the house oil
representatives and the senate, with a
speaker of the former and president OF
the latter. Martin Van B.. Cheadle, a vet
eran leader in the nation, is president
of the senate. The head of the nation is
Gov. johnson, a most able man, who be-
fore the intervention of the United
States would have possessed all of the
powers of a governor of a state.
The Chickasaw government is sep
arated into three divisions, the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial. The nation
is divided into counties and each has its
county seat, Tishomingo being the
COunls SEAT VI 1lSuOAlASO SouAts'
There are four judicial districts, and
county, probate and supreme courts.
These courts have been shorn of most OF
their power by the United States, but
are still in existence.
Each county had it's sheriff and a
Jail, where prisoners were kept. Execu-
lions were made by hanging on gallows,
modelled after those used in the states.
Murder and larceny, after a third Of
Tense, was punishable by death.
Martin V. B. Cheadle, president of the
senate, says there are two political par
ties in the Chickasaw nation, the pro-
gressives and the nationals. The pro-
gressives oppose the policy of the gov
eminent in allotting lands and are 10th
to give UP their government. The ma
tional party, of which Mr.. Cheadle is
leader, believes that the nation should
assist the United States government in
every way in settling tribal affairs in
line with its present policy. 1t favors
the sale of all tribal property, including
surplus lands, to the government, and
the division of the proceeds among the
Indian citizens. When asked if most OF
the members OF the national party do not
favor the policy of the republican party,
Mr.. Cheadle said: I'VE will not desert
the ship that has carried us safely over,
and | believe that most of the nationals
will be republicans" Mr.. Cheadle says
that the national party represents the
majority element in the Chickasaw ma
ton.

REVIVING THEIR LANGUAGE
Matchmaking Work of Gaelic League
Includes Return to the
Old Tongue.

In a study Of contemporary conditions
In Ireland Seumas MacManus shows that
the Irish are returning to their native
tongue, says the Worlds Work. The
Gaelic league has not only arrested the
decay of the language, but it has made
startling progress in restoring it. 1t
has fought and overcome the hostile ma
tional board of education, with the re-
suit that 5000 of the national schools
are teaching the language to-day to 95,-
900 pupils, as against a few schools that
taught it to 313 pupils 13 years ago. In
addition to this, Gaelic is taught to about
100000 others in the remaining primary
schools, night schools, intermediate
schools and colleges. The big CONNER
cial concerns are finding 1t to their ad-
vantage to keep Irish-speaking en-
ployes, who can attend customers that
insist on giving their orders, whether
spoken or written, in Gaelic. The rail-
ways, the banks and the post office, after
struggling sorely against the crusade,
very soon required a knowledge of the
AoA6 uA6S pOth SpohSu anu ldlr y
from all candidates for ~clerkships.
1t is a pity for Ireland that more OF
her girls do not return. Emigration is
the greatest evil that Ireland labors un-
der to-day, The country is being de-
pleted by this drain, which, for $50
years, has not once ceased flowing and
which has been running with fearful
rapidity during the last 80 years. The
! government returns show that in the
last SO years 4,000,0 900 Irish people emf
grated. During the 40, for which we
have no record, and especially during the
famine years. the outflow in coffin ships
of famine-driven, fever-stricken fugi-
:ives-tens of thousands of whose whit
Ireland to America by a terrible chain
was tremendous.
The census returns for the decade
lS41-51 show that Ireland had a net loss
IN those ten years Of i 5000 people, or
one-ffth of its population. In 1S41 Ire
land had a population of $500, GOO; in
1901 the population, which at the nat
ural rate Of Irish increase, should have
been more than 100000, had fallen to
4,46O, 600! In "a years Ireland has sent
out more emigrants than there are peo-
pie in the island to-day. Now the birth
rate is decreasing, because the per-
centage of unmarried adults has been
Increasing and because the average
marrying age has been growing higher.
So the people, who at one time We're pro-
verbally prolific, will soon have lost
that character. AS the great birth rate,
which tended to moderate the effects Of
emigration, lessons, the emigration evil
year by year assumes a more and more
alarming aspect.

MODEST IDEA OF LUXURY.
Puts Nuts and Raisins in
That Class.

There are many stories Of the mar
row and barren lives of the North Car
DINA mountaineers. The following, told
in the New York Sun, stirs ones SYM
pathies for people so completely shut
away from comfort and progress. The
incident is related by a man who was
investigating timber lands in a remote
region Of the state. He and his guide
had penetrated to a lonely spot, bro
ken by no road save a cow-path, where
| stood a cabin surrounded by the prim-
eval forest.
A woman in an old homespun dress,
with half a dozen children at her heels,
responded tic our "Hello!" Her stock
| of household utensils afforded only one
tin cup, out of which we drank the wa
ter and milk she gave us. I asked a few
questions, and the answers revealed a
state of affairs really pathetic.
1t was about the time Of the Dewey
celebration, and I had an illustrated
New York paper containing pictures of
the event. I spread this out for the
amusement of the family, but while
the children displayed the liveliest in
terest, the mother hardly looked at it.
what are them picters about?" sht
asked, listlessly.
"The Dewey celebration"
whats that?
"Why didn't you ever hear Of Dew
ey?" I asked, in genuine surprise.
81 reckon not. He don't live round
these parts nowhars, does he?"
ooh, no. He lives in Washington"
"Whar's that, down in the settle,
mints?"
Washington is the capital of the
country"
"You mean whar McGinty is the head
MANI"
Mckinley, you mean" I ventured.
"Well, McGinty or Mckinley, Ell
whatever yer call him; it's all one to
me-"
Wouldn't you like to 60 to Wash
ington?" I asked. The utter hopeless
ness Of the idea brought the shadows
into her dull black eyes. 4
I'D ruther have the money to spend.
I'd get us some f1owery caliker dresses
and some shoes for my old man. Then,
if there was any left, I'd like to buy
some nuts and reezins. / amt stuck
a tooth in a reezin sence I was a little
gal, at Christmas-time. I fairly do
have a gnawing for a luxury some
times"
When I went back that way, two
weeks later, I had all the spare places
in my bag filled with nuts and r~aisins,
and that woman actually cried as !
poured them out on the table. She had
her %"luxury."

What the Hand Svmbolizes.

Look where WI will, we find the hand
In time and history, working, building,
inventing, bringing civilization out Of
barbarism. The hand symbolizes power
and the excellence Of work. The me-
chanic's hand, that minister Of elemen-
tai forces, the hand matthews, saws, cuts,
builds, is useful in the world equally
with the delicate hand that paints a wild
flower or molds a Grecian urn, or the
hand of a statesman that writes a law.
The eye cannot say to the hand: "Ihave
no need of thee" Blessed be the hand!
Thrice blessed be the hands that work.

AFTER WE LEAVE.

-
Before Sim Skies left Perkinstown
He used to run the "old burg down.
But after he had moved away
He praised his native place, they say.
He liked the climate that 1t had,
Though c he'd thought that 1t was
bad.
He Dragged about the people there,
The splendid mem and women fair"
Though once he had despised them all
And called them slow and cold and small.
We think the worlds a poor old place
And call it hard names to its face,
But, like Sim Skies, we nay some day
Look back from far and far away,
And think more kindly of the sphere
We rail at so while we are here.

Socialist Millionaire Broker.

Maurice Berteaux, the socialist mil.
lionaire stockbroker deputy, who has
just succeeded Gen. Andre as minister
Of war, is something of a novelty in
that capacity. There have been social.
list ministers before, notably M~illerand,
minister of commerce, in the Waldeck.
Rousseau cabinet, and Pelletan, min.
lister of marine, in the present cabinet
But there has never before been a
stock broker minister in France, and
few civilians have been minister Of
war.

Next to the proverbial shilling, per-

tied by a native of New Zealand. He
had a son, who died in the Dutch Indies,

at M~iddleburg. and the man had to walk
ten Dutch leagues for it, losing also a
days work.
