inches long. 1t is jet black, dotted all
over with small white feathers. 1t has
communication with the palate and
when filled with air looks like Il spire.
When empty it becomes pendulous. His

The mother of John and Charles Wes-
ley, the founders of Methodism, was
of her own or any other age. From
tender years the principles of religion
and practical piety were instilled by
her in the minds Of her children. She
daily took them into private room
and prayed with each, and so imbued
their minds with the spirit of religion
that the Methodist movement was real
ly born in her home.

AN INGENIOUS NEW
AIR BOX FOR STOVES
New Device Invented by Woman for
the Better Control of the
Draft.

In the accompanying engraving Is
illustrated novel device which is APP
plicable to ranges, stoves and open
CRATES, and which aims to provide "A
better control OF the draft than has
heretofore been possible, thus etfecting
saving In fuel. The device has the
form of a box, smaller at the top than
at the bottom. The rear Of the box Is
left open. while the other three sides
are formed of inclined walls provided
with long vertical apertures. The bot
tom of the box is provided with slid
ing plate, the purpose of which will be
presently explained. The air box, as
the device is termed. Is placed on the
CRATE of a stove, to which ii Is secured
by means of bolts. 1t thus takes up
most OF the space usually occupied by
the fuel The rear of the air box fits
closely against the rear wall of the
fireboX, but narrow space is left on
the other three sides to receive the
fuel. BY this means the area OF the
fire is greatly increased, while the
depth is reduced. Air passes up from
the CRATE into the box and thence

TO SAVE INDIAN CAPITOLS
PLAN TO MAKE HISTORIC BUILD
INGS MUSEUM REPOSITORIES.
When Statehood Wipes Out Indian
Territory Effort Will Be Made to
Preserve Official Mansions of
Old Capitals.

Now that Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory are to take their place among
the sisterhood of states, and will have
but one capital where heretofore there
has been two, some concern is felt for
the old capital towns of the two ter
ritories, ami the question is being
asked what will become of the old
state buildings? Sentiment is reluc-
tant to let the historic buildings pass
into oblivion.
Especially is this true in the Indian
Territory, where 1t is said movement
will be inaugurated to preserve the
historic capitol buildings of the five
civilized tribes.
In line with this movement it has
been suggested, and the plan seems to
have met with general approval, is
that each building be made the ma
tional museum of the nation wherein it
is located. In this manner they would
become objects of interest and attract
visitors from all parts of the world
The Creek Indian capitol building at
Okmulgee was erected in 1867, and has
been the center of all that was i'm
portant in the Creek nation during al
most half century.
Okmulgee means "springing water"

whose existence is now merging into

splendid gatherings of the great coun-

the sentences of the Creek courts were
executed The prisoner was tried, con-
victed and sentenced to be shot to
death at a given date, and then re-
leased with the admonition to return
and receive his penalty on the day of
execution. History or tradition does
not record an instance in which the
condemned man failed to appear and
take his punishment manfully. After
bidding his friends farewell he took
his station under the old maple tree
and the unerring aim of his dearest
friend sent his soul to his Maker.
In the history and chronicles of the
Creek tribe there is no more interest
ing story than that of the Red Stick
war. This happened many many years

Sir Thomas Lipton's New Cup

view the persistent Englishman has
appeared in Massachusetts as a cham
pion of the rating rule of the New
York Yacht club, and under which
rule he seeks for another race for the
Americas cup, for he believes that he
would stand a better chance of win
ming under that rule than he did un-
der The length and sail area rules, un-
der which his three previous matches
for the trophy have been sailed.
He Is making a study of this new
rating rule, and is going TO try and
bring out the good and bad points of
the Iule by practical tests in racing.
As a step to the accomplishment Of his
purpose, Sir Thomas last winter had
as mis- guest in London, Winfield NJ.
Thompson, Boston yaChtsman,
through whom he offered to the
yachtsmen OF Massachusetts bay a
handsome cup, to be raced for under
the new rules. Mr. Thompson ar
ranged to present the cup to the Yacht
Racing association OF Massachusetts,
through the Boston Yacht club, as
trustee. There are % clubs in the as
sOciatiCn, and the cup Will go to the
owner who twice takes an annual
championship in Glass @ under the as
ISOLATION rules.
The cup stands three feet six inches
in height, and is valued at s. 900. 1t
was designed by a well-knOwn firm OF
London silversmiths. The stem of the
cup is formed by two female figures,
Great Britain and Amer
lea, With emblems of the two countries
to distinguish them. The body Of the
cup rests on globe, on which is
wrought the figure of yacht under
sail. This rests on the upraised hands
Of the symbolic figures. The base Of
the cup and the handles are chased in
bay leaves, in relief. The cover Is dec
oratal with four heads, representing
ad by a figure of Victory, sup
ported by four caryatides, representing
sea n3mphs.
On enc side of the cup is a shield,

Horses rarely forget either benefit

beautiful mare, White Lady, a high
spirited and sensitive creature. Ben,
her groom, had never treated her
roughly or given her cross word, and
White Lady knew his step and would

It.
Mr.. Shurtleff sent Ben one day to

in the midst Of the moors. When Ben
came out of the office he was amazed
not 70 find White Lady where he had
left her. Gypsy Tim, a rough, dark
looking fellow, had mounted her to try
her speed over the moors. White Lady
had never been handled so roughly be-
fore. She reared and plunged with
fright.
Get off," said Ben, turning white
with anger. He was not more than Is
and small for his age.
Tim answered sneeringly:
You be quiet. I'm just trying her a
bit. I'll tame her for you"
Ben seized him by the arm, though
he WAS twice as big as himself, and
again told him to get on. Fortunately.

THE OLDEST HUMAN BODY.

Nile in Upper Egypt This man must
have hunted along the banks Of tho
Nile before the time of the earliest
mummed king which the museum

Egypt at least 5000 b. G. There were
previous to that time two prehistoric
races, one tho conquerors and the
other the conquered, from which

outs with both the English and the

have revenge and lift a few scalps.
He had visited nearly all the Indian
tribes for the purpose of organizing a
federation and destroying the white

around as "Moccasin Track" cliff.
This name is derived from three moe
casin tracks on top of this Gilt OF
stone, The tracks are of different
sizes, and the legend is as follows:
Years ago, during the formative pc
Rod of this cliff, there lived near a
beautiful Indian maiden, who loved
and was loved by young white man
who had found her in her home while
on a hunting trip in the Indian COun-
try. He wooed her and she was to
be his bride, but the laws of the tribe
prohibited the match. The white lover
also incurred the dislike of the girls
parents. Often the lovers would steal
away to this cliff and on one occasion
the grl's little sister was sent to find
her. They crossed this cliff together.
making the three different sized moe
casin tracks. The sun hardened the
stone and the tracks have endured to
tell the tale. The legend further re-
cites the fact that the young white
lover fell asleep on the cliff and fell
to his death on the rocks below.

farmer, stout, muscular man, rode
up and recognizing Gypsy Tim, made
him give up the mare, which he did
with reluctance.
White Lady gave him a savage little
snip es he passed her, and from that
day, if she happened to see him, even
In the distance, she would put back her
ears in displeasure and snort.
There happened to be country fair
held at the little town Of Craigie, one
or two miles from the station, few
months later. Mr. Shurtleff drove some
OF his friends over to see 1t. The inn,
though small, was comfortable, and
they mad made their plans to spend the
night there.
One of the men had a noble black
horse called Black Pilot, and Ben and
the boy that took charge of this horse
had become great friends.
When they left the stable at night 1t
was pretty to see Pilot and White Lady
rub their heads against their friends.
Ben slept soundly, but when he
awoke it was with fearful start. That
red glare through the window was not
the light of morning, and what meant
those .rampling feet and the dreadful
cry OF "Fire?"
Rushing out, he found a crowd in
front OF the stable, and cloud OF
smoke and flame pouring from window
and 6oor.

the rear Of the building.
At the sight Of Ben the gypsy fed,
but it was no easy matter to get Lady
out Of the stable. Pilot followed him
readily enough, and so would Lady
until she reached spot near the back
door-where Ben conjectured that Tim
had made the first spring at her to
seize ter-and here she would tremble
and snort with terror, crouch almost to
the ground and refuse to move.
Fortunately it occurred to him to tie
his handkerchief over her eyes, and by
doing this, he coaxed her almost to the
door. Just at that moment Robert
caught sight Of Pilots black head over
Bens shoulder, and wild with excite
ment, Logan 20 shout:
STEADY, Pilot! Ho, boy! Ho boy!"
Hearing this well-known stable
call, Pilot answered with cheerful lit
tie whinny, and Lady took step for
ward, and finally both were across the
threshold AMI saved from the fire.
If the mare had not retained so vivid
a remembrance of her old foe, Gypsy
Tim would have had her out OF the
burning stable and far away over the
moors before Ben got in, and would
never have been suspected of the theft.

disliked and feared Gipsies, and would
not let one come near her.-Chicago
