Honor Amonn rhieves.

In her article on The Poor Children
of Paris" in Harper's Magazine Tor
January, Mrs. John Van Worst recounts
a touching incident of a boy thief who
kept his word even when it meant
death:
Among the prisoners whom the
Prussians we're preparing one day 10
shoot down on the bank OF the Seine
where 1t flows near the Place de la Con-
corde near the center OF the city, there
was a notorious young good-for-noth.
ing. He accepted calmly his condemna-
ton, but asked permission TO absent
himself for the space of an hour. He
was fourteen years old. Somewhere in
Paris he had an old grandmother. He
wished to carry her his only remaining
possession, a silver wa,ch-stolen, no
doubt. With the greatest difficulty
some tender-hearted officer obtained
for him nis permission, which. ccnsid-
ering the character Of the boy, was
equivalent to a pardon. As ths
clocks hand completed the circle Of
sixty minutes, the boy took his place
again in the ranks OF the condemned.
He had carried his watch to his grand
mother ." He had kept the pledge
of honor. Against the deadly shower
of lead which swept from the Prussisn
guns, he barred a breast wherein there
was the tumult Of wickedness and hero

CURED BY CUTICURA
IN TWO WEEKS

Mrs. GeorgeJ. +. Steese, Of 7oI Coburn
ST., Akron, Ohio, tells in the following
letter of another Of those remarkable
cures of torturing, dis6guring skin
humors daily made by Cuticura Sosp,
assisted by Cuhcura Ointm ent,
after physicians, and all else had
failed: 81 feel it my duty to parents
of other poor suffering babies to tell
you what Cuticura has done for my
little daughter. She broke out all
oVer her body with a humor and we
used everything recommended, but
without results. I called in three doc
tors, they all claimed they could help
her, but she continued TO growNvorse.
Her body was a mass of sores, and her
little face was eaten away, her ears
looked as if they would drop of.
Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and before 1 had
used half of the cake of soap and
box of ointment the sores had all
healed, and my little ones face and
body was as clear as a newborn babes.

A PReAMRulArlNe eHosT.

The hopeless propaganda of separate
statehood viii not be quiet as becomes
one dead and decently inferred AT
unseemly hours it still wanders forth
in its uncanny apparel to disturb the
imaginauons of several deserving citi-
zens. It should observe the limits of
its estate and cease to issue forth to
the disturbance of the citizens, whose
strong arms and ready wits VIII be
needed in the coming battle for one
grand state.
There is absolutely no use to ask
for two states TO be created out of
Oklahoma and Indian territory. It win
never be done There are two rea-
sons, the vast majority Uf the people
of the two territories want only one
state and they could not get two states
if they wanted them
The sentiment for one grand state
was never stronger than it is today
and yet there are a few individuals
who have been persistently crying for
two separate states. Some of these
are in Oklahoma and some in Indian
territory They could safely be pass
ed by without comment were several
of them not editors who have the ear
Of their constituents to a greater or
1 less degree.
The only possible outcome Of this
opposition to the viii of an unquestion-
ed majority of all parties would be to
confuse matters and delay the action
CT congress upon the bin for admis-
sion
1t is unnecessary to thrash over any
Of the old straw out Of which the pres
ent wholesome grain of single state
hood has been garnered but the thiag
to do is 10 Sc plant and husband that
grain that it shall come TO full fruit
age after its kind.

: and progressive.
The reputation Of the city has been
redeemed. The election this spring

where the city Of Guthrie stands.
Every citizen may well feel proud Of

has been taken. The work is not done
but the foundation has been laid ac-
cording to general plans and specifca-

ROUVIER ACTING.
He Has Taken Active Di. rection of the French
 Foreign Chice.

Paris. June 7.-Premier Rouyier as minister of foreign affairs, took up the active direction of the foreign office to-day conferring with the chiefs Of departments upon various pending foreign questions. Jules Carbon (the French ambassador to Spain whose name has been mentioned as the pos sible successor of NJ. Delcasse) was among the callers at the foreign office but NJ. Rouvier's permanent retention of the portfolio of foreign affairs Is now considered settled, as President LOubet and parliament wish him to surrender the portfolio of finance (which he also holds) and give his un- divided attention to the foreign situa- tion. Either former minister of pub lie instruction Poincare or former min ister of public works Baudin will probably succeed NJ. Rouvier as min ister of finance. Important diplomat ic changes are also thought likely to occur as result of the cabinet changes. One report is that Marquis de Reverseaux French ambassador at Vienna) will succeed NJ. Bihourd as ambassador at Berlin and that Jules Cambon may be transferred to St. Petersburg. The officials do not con- firm these reports saying it is too ear ly to forecast the changes resulting from the new regime
