RICH COLORED GIRL.

Tusla, |. IT,, Aug. 1.-The boundary
lines which separate the lands of the
Creek, Cherokee and Usage Indians
converge to a point to the north cen
trail part of the new state of Okla
homa A few miles south of this
point, in the Creek Nation, lives
little Negro girl named Isabella Lew
is. the daughter Of Negro who was
formerly a Creek slave This little
girl owns 80 acres Of land, part of
her allotment, in the new "Glenn Pool"
oil district which is giving her an in
come such as only millionaires can
have. There are three oil wells on
her land, each Of which is producing
1000 barrels of oil per day, and each
of which is capable Of having its daily
capacity doubled.
1t is the announced intention of the
company that has leased her land to
put down seven more wells. If they
each produce as much as those al
ready drilled and there is no reason
to doubt it, her royalty of one-eighth
of the entire amount produced at So
4 cents per barrel, the present market
price of oil, will give her daily in
come of $3.50, or an annual income
of 1897 900. At per cent that amount
would be the interest on a capital of
nearly 100000.
Under the laws which Isabella Lew
is has granted to the operators who
have leased her land and which was
approved by the secretary of the in
terror the oil which is her daily share
is turned into the pipe of the Stand
ard Oil Co. and the money it repre-
sents is at once placed to her credit.
Josephine Morrison, another little
Negro girl IL years of age. the daugh-
ter of a Creek freeman, has an allot-
ment Of 16 acres in the oil-producing
district surrounded on all sides by
flowing wells. The Morrison girl has
her tract leased on royalty of one
eighth of all oil produced. The lessees
of this tract intend to drill at least 20
wells as fast as the oil can be taken
care of by the Standard Oil people.
The father of the Morrison. as well
as the father of the Lewis girl, has
been appointed guardian of his daugh-
ter. Their guardianship, however. is
only nominal, for the reason that
every act Of the guardian must be
approved by Secretary Hitchcock.
This scrutiny Of accounts. particularly
in the expenditures of money, by the
United States secretary Of the interior
cannot help but result in making both
the Morrison and Lewis girl very
wealthy when they arrive at legal age.

The Things We Eat

Too much meat is absolutely hurt
full to the body. Sailors on board of
ships get scurvy when their supply of
vegetable food is exhausted The di-
gestive organs of the human body de-
mand vegetable food, and II we don't
eat enough vegetables we pay for 1t
dearly.
Nature gave us wheat, and in every
kernel of wheat nature has distrib-
uted iron, starch, phosphorus, lime,
sugar, salt and other elements neces-
sary to make bone, blood and muscle.
EGG-O-SEE is wheat scientifically
prepared. Cooked, and made into
crisp fakes, EGG-O-SEE goes into the
stomach ready for the digestive or
gans to convert it into life-giving SUBJ
stances with but little effort.
EGG-0-SEE eaters are clean-eyed,
strong and happy lot. The proof of a
pudding and the proof of EGG-0-S SEE
is in the eating. EGG-O-SEE besides
being solid nourishment is most pal
atable. Every mouthful is a joy to
the taste and direct benefit to your
health. A 10-cent package of EGG-0-
SEE contains ten liberal breakfasts.
Our friends advertise us. They eat
EGG-O-SEE for a while. They grow
strong. They are well and happy and
thcv pass the good word along.
Next time you send to the grocer's
tell your boy or girl to bring home a
package of EGG-O-SEE. Have your
cliloren eat EGG-O-SEE. 1t is their
friend. They'll eat EGG-o-SEE when
nothing else will taste good.
You try EGG-O-SEE and you can
deduct the cost from your doctors
bills.
We send our book, Back to Nature"
free. It's a good bookful Of plain,
good, common sense. If you want a
copy. address EGG-O-SEE Company,

MANAGERS WHO FARM.

High earning capacity of farms OPP
Grated by managers is a feature of
the United States census returns. The
fact is not explained, but it exists.
These farms not only produce net re-
turns far in excess of those credited
to owners, but make revenues of rent
ers look absurdly small. Farms thus
managed Invariably carry heavy lines
o. live stock, an article renters appar-
emily have little use for.
Managed" farms are usually the re-
suit of combinations of capital They
are placed in charge of competent
men, who are expected to make them
pay good returns on the Investment.
That this kind of farming pays is
shown by the returns, and 1t gives
rise to speculation as TO why the av-
erage owner can not do equally as
we'll. He may be doing so now, but
the census returns do not show 1t.

NECESSARY FOR DIGESTION.

Hens teeth are scarce, and they
are compelled to swallow their food
in the same condition as they receive
1t. The grinding apparatus in the
crop is so constructed as to require
the aid of other material to carry on
the masticption. Fowls that have
free range will generally find the
necessary grit for this purpose, but
those that are yarded up must de-
pend on their owners to supply this
need; small gravel, crushed oyster
shells. broken crockery or anything
that answers the purpose of grit, but
in whatever form 1t is given, breed
ers should be particular to have a
supply constantly within reach of the
fowls.

weeks on the picture" he said, "and

were penniless. My wife was hungry
and in rags, the baby was sickly and
/ was discouraged. l hawked that pic

bring it home that night. No one would
have it"
Il suppose that was the hardest blow
of your life" suggested sympathetic
friend.
"Oh, no, it wasn't, either l could
stand that. l knew l was right. But
next day went out to answer every
promising advertisement. The last on
the list read, 'DishWasher wanted
