Survival Of Ancient Belief.

II Is an ancient belief that a man s
name has some mysterious sympathy
with his nature, whence arise such
stories as that of Rumpelstiltskin,
whose power over a human being
vanishes the moment that his name
81 pronounced aloud. 1t has been
suggested, with some show of reason,
that the modern practice of nam
ing" refractory member of the
house of commons is merely a sur.
vival OF this belief, which our Morse
ancestors brought into England.-St.

INDIANS CLAIM THEIR RIGHTS.
Senate Committee Listen to Argu-

Muskogee, l. T.-The entire time on
Friday of the senate Indian committee
was devoted to hearing arguments in
favor of removing the restrictions
placed on the sale of Indian lands.
The morning session was productive
Of much feeling.
Colonel Robert l.. Owen, a Cherokee
by blood, a prominent attorney and a
candidate for the United States SEN
ate, said in reply to a question as to
whether he had ever had his restric-
tons removed: Il am as free a citi-
zen as any man on this senate COM
mittee. | am free man. | will not
bow my head to the interior depart
ment | have no personal restric-
tons. | have never made and will
never make application for the remov-
al of my restrictions.
THE fault of this government
which controls the Indian Territory
lies in the frailty of human nature
which leads a man to believe that he
can govern a people better than they
can govern themselves"
