Ardmoreite Special.
The commissioner of Indian affairs
has rendered a decision in the Choc-
taw allotment contests between w.
c. Randolph on one side and William
4, Durant, Dora Duke and Rindie
Noah on the other side, involving title
to some 200 acres of land near the
city of Chickasha, reversing the de.
cision in the cases rendered by the
commission TO the five civilized tribes.
The testimony in the case shows
that early in 1903 Randolph, the con.
testants, purchased 100 acres OF land
from j. Il, Sparks, who, at the time,
held a large pasture near Chickasha.
A short time later Sparks transferred
20 Randolph 40 acres additional Ran
dolph In purchase of the land gave
Sparks hispromissory note at the
rate of $40 per acre for the 100 acres
originally transferred to him, the note
being endorsed by E.M.Mooge. j. f.

the note 10 the Citizens National
bank at Chickasha but continued in
possession of the land for some time

Round Shoulders,

Among the most common <deformi.
ties Of the day Is one that with care
and attention can be remedied. 1t is
the round shodldered or STOPPING hab-
1t. Many boys show this tendency to
stoop, while in the narrow chested 1t
Is marked to painful degree.
And yet by raising oneself leisurely
upon the toes in perpendicular posi-
ton several times a day this deformity
can as rule be easily rectified. To do
this properly one must be in a perfect.
ly upright position. the arms dropping
at the sides, the heels we'll together and
the toes forming an angle of forty five
degrees.
The rise should be made very slowly
and from the balls of both feet, and
the descent should be accomplished In
the same way, without swaying the
body out of Its perpendicular line. The
exercise is not an easy one, but, Xix,
many other things, may be accomplish
ed by patience. 1t can be modified, too
by standing first on one leg, then OF
the other.
Initiating and raising the chest at thu
same time form a part of the exercis,
and II persevered in will ultimatel!
show an increased chest measurement

| figure.

FORGIVEN Ess.

My love held out his arm to me;
Bat he did not smile nor speak,
But oh his eyes were clear and fain,
Their message fair to seek;
And I remembered all at once
His lips upon my cheek.
But 1 had said him bitter words
Too bitter to forgive;
The love, methought, would leave his heart
As water leaves sieve;
1t seemed no more could kisses be
While both of US should live.
All lost In wretchedness and wrath
I turned, nor hoped for rest
He only held his kind arms out
To draw me to his breast;
he spoke not, but his eyes clear speech
Was easy to be guessed.
Light were his lips upon my cheek,
His eyes l could not see
My own were hid oh, short of heaven,
Could such forgiveness be,
As that l won when my dear love
Held out his arms to mef

Dtstinxuished Forerunners.

Mr.. Roosevelt is not the first presi-
dent of the United States with pre-
objection for athletics, and record in
them. Washington was a strong man,
and a famous wrestler. He was never
thrown, which meant much, for wres-
Ting was a favorite amusement with
virginians, many Of whom were as
nearly inyincible as the ancient Greeks.
Lincoln, too, could boast classic -ex-
cellence in the same sport.
ut Is a curious thing" Lincoln said,
when Washington's prowess was first
brought to his notice, ut Is curious
thing, but that is just precisely my rec
ord when I was a youth. l could out
lift any man in Illinois, and l never
was thrown.
IF George was round now, should
be pleased to have a tussle with him,
and l rather believe that one of the
plain people of Illinois would be able
to keep up his end of against the old
virginian."

ARCHITECTURE OF NEWPORT.
Houses There Are Among the Most
Notable in United States.

Houses There Are Among the Most
Notable in United States.
One need scarcely be told, therefore,
that the Newport cottage" is building
apart from all other residential struc-
lures, and 1t need hardly be explained
why palaces" seem so peculiarly In
place there, says American Homes and
Gardens. But 1t is impossible to I'M
derstand any considerable building
without some idea Of the conditions
which brought 1t into being or the
needs, ends, purposes or circumstances
to which it is adapted.
The Newport palace, it Is then well
TO note, is justified by the gay life for
which it Is at once background and
setting. Obviously, If our rich peo-
pie would be gay-and who would have
them otherwise-they must .have an en-
vironment suited to their means and to
the special kind of life they desire to
live. If dinners and parties, receptions
and balls, fetes of all kinds-the fash
ionable names for the most fashionable
functions change so rapidly that the
chronicler must keep close In touch to
know the word to use and when to use
lift these diversions are an essential
part of a summers pleasurings, then,
truly, a suitable setting must be pro-
vided, a setting adequate In size and
in style, adequate in form and in ex,
preston. So splendid house after splen'
did house has been built at Newport
until to-day the cottage" section OF
the city contains one of the most splen
did collections of houses in America.
One uses the word splendid" de
liberately and of choice, for whether
the architecture Of these buildings be
good or bad, appropriate or inappro
pirate, they are dominated by the SUI
preme idea of splendid. And fortunate
1t Is that the social distinction that ha'
made the city what 1t Is should have
found visible expression in houses O.
genuine MISUNDERSTANDING that thu
great building activity Of Newport ha
arisen In an epoch of considerable ar
chitectural culture. Never were on
architects so well equipped to desigl
splendid houses as in the last ten o
fifteen years, during which period tn
larger number of Viewpoints costlies
dwellings were erected. Not every grea
house is an architectural masterpiece
but many of them are fine in a true al
chitectural sense And this is an ARCH
tectural distinction of no mean sort
