When the Wind Sings In the Nigh

When the Wind Sings In the Night,
You can read the dreams they're dreamin'
In their rosy slumbers deep;
TO sweeter song they listen
Than the mother song of Sleep"
They see the Christmas angels.
With their shiny wings O. light:
Hear fairy trumpets BLOWN
When the wind sings in the night,
For the wind is like a message
From the land where Christmas dwells
They hear the frosty reindeer
Shake their shiny silver bells,
Impatient for the journey
Ger the housetops. snowy white
On, there's wonder in the music
When the wind sings in the night.
They're in Christmas land forever,
In a rosy dream O. bliss,
when they're singin' in the sunshine.
When they're climbin' for kiss,
And we'd sigh not DER the lonesome.
Weepic' years Of lost delight,
Could we dream the dreams they're
dreamin'
Wnen the wind sings in the night.

DECLINE OF THE FLOATING BATH
The Interior Public Baths Growing in Favor
Crush This Season

Sixty thousand bathers in the floating
public baths and 100 600 in the interior
public baths is the record OF the municipal
bathing establishments of New York city
for the first week in July. This is really
the beginning of the season for the floating
baths, because owing to condemnation OF
various locations by the Department Of
Health the number Of these baths has up
10 the present time been reduced from
sixteen to six.
Application has been made by the De-
partment OF Public Works for permission
to locate floating baths at Pier So, foot Of
Pike street, East River, and at the foot OF
Fifth street, East River. These baths will
be in operation by the middle of July.
The interior baths are open all the year
but during the recent hot spell only two
Of the floating baths, those at the foot OF
East Ninth and East 18th streets, were
open. The Battery bath would have been
ready, but just as it was located and about
to open it wa discovered that its location
interfered with the steamboat landing.
1t was necessary to move the bath thirty
feet, and this caused a weeks delay The
Battery bath and that at West 138th street
and the North River were opened July 4,
the latest opening date in their history.
Public interest in New York has hereto
fore been centred on the floating bath,
but from now on itslooks as II the interior
baths would take the lead, YER in the sum-
mer time. The Department Of Health
seems to be Of the opinion that the former,
owing to the condition Of the waters OF the
East and North rivers about New York,
are likely to become q to the health
OF the bathers. w. W. Weeks, City Super
lntendent Of Public Baths, takes a different
view Of the situation, but 30 far the Health
Department has had ito way,
There is no question as to the popularity
OF the interior bath. For instance, the
record for the week ended June 30 at the
Allen street bath shows an attendance Of
A,i7t; at East Seventy-sixth street, 1900;
a. Mvington street, 25, 150; at West Forty

last Eleventh street, 1870; at East Tooth

whose parents rank among the Oldest and
richest residents Of the State. To give
an idea Of the wealth Of some OF the tribes
a compilation made by Government agents
shortly before tho tribal dissolution placed
the valuo Of the farm lands and houses Of
the Chiokasaws and Choctaws alone at fully
$50, 0O0, 900.
To these tribes wore allotted for .reserva-
ton purposes nearly $4,000 900 acres Of
land, much Of Il containing large deposits
of irpn, lead and zinc, while some Is be-
lieveh to hold oil and gas. 1t has been ap-
praised by the Government at price, rang
ing from Is cents to 81 an acre, and as there
are only $1,000 members Of the two tribes,
the average TO each Indian would be moro
than 5000.
In addition. the tribes receive royalties
from companies mining their coal lands,
which gives them a large income, divided
in proportion to the property holdings OF
each family. In fact, few Of the original
land owning families In Oklahoma are worth
less than $4,000.
Tho Osages living up 10 the northeast
corner Of the original Oklahoma are said
TO be worth more money than any other
settlement OF human beings Of tho same num-
Der In the world, for they are not only rich
In farm lands, but have more than 100000
on deposit with Uncle Sam on which they
get s per cent interest. In addition, they
lease lands having oil. Goa and gas de-
posts TO the white man and get a revenue
from this alone which amounts to 500 a
year for each man, woman and child Of
them.
Thus II Is that the children Of Oklahoma

vantagss OF an education. While the

A favorite method Is for . boy after his

house, dry his hair, rub his faoe With dirt,
and again present himself for admission,

port. This plan works successfully In
most cases, for the attendants are TOO busy
to scan youngsters closely.
At the Battery each bather 10 supposed
to bs allowed TO spend twenty minutes In

Children have the preference at the public
baths, both interior and floating. There
are no permanent regulations about the

1t 10 felt at this season OF the yeaf ca.

SMITHS PAPA OBJECTS.

Although the New York National
League club has reserved Phil Smith,
the eighteen-year-old high school
pitcher, of Plainfield, the young twir-
Ter has not signed any contract, and,
according to his daddy, he will not be
permitted to play professional ball
until he becomes of age. Secretary
Fred Knowles, of the Giants, sent a
contract two weeks ago to the young
twirler, but Smith, Sr., refused to
sign it, claiming that his boy was too
young to play with the big teams.
When the report came out that the
New York club had reserved the
youthful twirler, Smith ST.. declared
that under no circumstances would
he allow his son to go to New York.
Young Smith doesn't appear anxious
to break into fast company yet, and
says he will probably play another
season with Independent teams.
