than in India. But the art of robbing

court, and later register of the land
Office at Dodge City; and c. c. Curtis,
former merchant at wellington. Their
county is Washita in southwestern Ok
lahOma; and their town is COrdell- Some
years ago, the people of the county, by
a vote of five to one. removed the county
seat from Cloudchief to. COrden. Since
then, the territorial supreme court has
held that the statute of Oklahoma per
hitting the removal of county seats is
in contravention of the organic act. so
Cloudchief, which has dwindled to a
mere inland village, sought to move the
county seat back, and a suit is now
pending in court. The action of congress
was deemed NECESSARY to legafize the

The drunkard has fallen: his Keeper
saw him at a downtown bar today,
loading his tank with beer. It is a
popularity of this particular drunkard
that he always begins a spree by
drinking beer, ending UP with whisky.
The keeper predicts that he will be
brought to the hotel in hack within
few hours: insensible from over
Indulgence in intoxicants, and with his
pockets full of bottles. Then he will
lock himself in his room. and remain
there thirty or forty hours, drinking.
His father is president of a railroad
company for Which he formerly work

I have heard of two other people at
the Gale Face hotel who are Broaden
ing their Minds by Travel: An old
Englishman and a young wife. The
young wife is very pretty, and gets
drunk at the public bar The old hus-
band is Jealous of her. because she can
drink more than he can, and firts with
the young fellows The women say the
young wife married the old fellow for
his money. If the old man wants to
spend his money on young wife. It's
all right. so far as am concerned. If
the money he has isn't his, let some
body take it away from him.
A Frenchman and his wife are also
at the hotel, and they quarrel SO much
as to disturb their part of the house
The wife's screams are quite pitifuI at
times though we all remarked at
breakfast this morning that the hus-
band had a black eye. The wife didn't
seem TO be injured. although she did a
lot of screaming last night

have long had a notion that should

him ashamed of his religion and Of his
prophet; both seem so false and ride
ulous to me. But was never more mis-
taken: the Mohammedan is about the

cago man, or a Pennsylvania, or an
Englishman. And he has this to be
proud of, at least. his religion is more
widely distributed over the earth than
any other. And he makes his pilgrim
age to Mecca as surely as a salmon
returns from the broad ocean to the
Columbia river; there is very little
backslidtng among Aohammedans. They
are as well satisfied with their religion
as Frenchman is satisfied with
France.
AS I write this, in my room, the ma
tive servant is busily engaged in pack
ing my trunks. And here is the first
opportunity I have had of saying a good
word of Cingalese: he is doing it
pretty well. He is dressed in his best
Sunday suit: the sheet took from the
tSimla," by mistake, and which I gave
him, not knowing what else to do with
It.
You Atchison people are going to be
admired as you never were before, on
my return; you are so superior to the
people L meet on this trip. You may
not be any better than Mohammedans,
or Hindus, or English, or other people
In general, but am accustomed to you
and you suit me better. And when 1
say "AtchisOn people" 1 mean all the
people 1 know at home: Hurons, Mus
cOtahs, DeKalbs, Iatans, Emporias, To
pShdii6f, DullipAia4lSs DenlOnNllleSs etc
This trip viii at least broaden my
views. and cause ne to be fonder of
my home and friends. And I think I
have never been very lax in either of
these particulars.
The principal use I make of a native
servant is to have him do the quarrel
ing with the other natives. There is a
legal rate for rickshaWs, but if you
pay this, you have quarrel with the
rickshaW man, just the same; he wants
more, and knows that you will not
think of calling policeman. So when
[ go out I take the native servant
along. Arriving at my destination,
patiently wait While he goes through
with the inevitable quarrel The other
night, q party of Us took a rickshaW
ride, to see the street crowds and the
illumination. On our return, we gave
rickshaw men; and he quarreled with
them in front Of the hotel for over an
hour. At first I thought it was a native
uprising: possibly a new republic, but
investigation revealed that the elamOr
was over dividing the money the SER
want had received for the ricksnaw
trip. I suppose the servant rObs me Il
little, but he does not rob me of as
much as he saves me. The hotel is
quite a distance from town; on the ocean
front When the Atchison girl wants
to go down town. the servant goes
along, and waits around until she is
ready to return His knowledge of the
country and of the language Is very
convenient. When I first employed him,
the hotel servants we're suspicious OF
him, ard always escorted him to my
