PRAIRIE DOG MEAT IS GOOD
Is Fine Eating: and Should Become
Popular. Says an: Oklahoma
NJ s Farmer. ."s

Prairie dogs make good eating. This
is not generally, known and even where
it is known civilized people do not
care to be called Igorrotes because they
eat dog meat, says. the sLawton News,
Republican '.:The. other day i met a
man., said q prominent farmer of the
Faxon neishborho od, !: ''whol eats orai.

his kind we. would soon get rid of the
little pests ON our &prriaies: .
Il had gone to- Nelms,' . he continued,
Ito attend to some" business, and on
the road met couple of wagons con-
tanning mar and woman and about
ten children. They stopped to make
some inquiries about the road to Chat
tanooga and III the course of our con-
versation the man remarked:: There IS
plenty of neat In these parts BY
questioning him learned that he re-
ferred to prairie dogs, and then he told
me that he and his family aad been
living on prairie dog meat for ten days
and avowed they had never in their
lives eaten better meat.
And the fellow was right. ! have
eaten them, too, and they are fine, ss-
pecially The young ones. The hind
quarters are a little heavier than a
squirrel, but the fore quarters and 9TH
er parts are letter than squirrel. When
we hunted tuftaloes over this country
a number Of years ago we carried prai-
RE dog tallow with which to grease
our guns, ;,ad there is: none better. At
that time VIC ate lots of prairie dogs.
"The only reason why people haven't
learned to eat prairie dogs is because
of the name. The little animals feed
strictly on vegetation and are clean.
Their meat Is better than that CT any
other animal that lives in the ground,
better than ysbbits and better than
SQUIRRELS. We could get rid Of the
prairie dogs Il our people would learn
to eat their meat" -, > !.

We worked secretly through a real es
tate agent SO that the public would not
know of the venture in advance. I
looked into the matter whether the en-
terprise could be incorporated with
Dowie as the sole owner. This was
found impossible because the state con-
stitution of 1870 forbids it. A corpor-
alton is forbidden to speculate in real
estate. We then issued certificates
which guarantee six per cent. Millions
of dollars was raised. It was provided
that all the profits above those paid to
holders Of certificates should be rein
vested in the enterprise out Of winch
it came. Instead OF doing this Dowie
took the $4,000, 900 for his own use;

Alleged Fraudulent Acts.
One charge against John Alexander
Dowie covers the alleged fraudulent
sale of certain land granted by the
government, of the British South
Africa company to the Christian Cath
olic church. Dowie obtained this
ground for the purpose of church
building about four years ago and i'm
mediately resold it to financiers in
Nottingham, England. In the last
three months he has been dunned for
the return Of the purchase money for
this land, as transfer was refused by
the British authorities. He has been
given eight weeks in which to return
$4,000, failing which criminal pro-
ceedings are threatened.
Dowie and Voli1a Compared.
What genius creates, genius is often
unable to conserve. What common
sense cannot originate it often is able
to perpetuate. The imagination which
originates is always succeeded by the
matter-of-fac management, if ruin is
to be averted. The ousting of John
Alexander and the Inauguration Of
Wilbur Glenn Voliva is an exemplifi.
cation of the, rule.
The two men contrast absolutely
physically, temperamentally. The ex-
uberant Dowie, massive in frame, re-
dundant in speech, magnetic and DOM
inant in personality, enveloped and
swept away by the power of his own
visions, recognized in his moments of
wisdom and judgment, in his secret
communings in his closet, that in the
young disciple Voliva existed the san
ity, the sense, the prudence, the
righteous and sure faculty which
would avail Zion when. the influence
of its founder was withdrawn.
Voliva the Man to Do.
Spare, pale, ascetic, cool, intelligent,
unaffected by dreams, resolute to &C.
complish the task Immediately under
his eye, Voliva is no conqueror to
found communities, to convert the
world, to gain riches in Mexico and
spiritual dominion in the islands of
the sea. He could never invent the
pageantry, the Hebraic ceremony, the
oriental splendor. But he can organ
lie, he can eliminate waste. he can
practice economy.
New Leader in Earnest.
Voliva is but Sc years of age. His
hair is black, not dark brown. His
eyes are deep-set, shrewd, very dark,
and somewhat piercing. His sallow
cheek is the esthetic's; his thin, close
set lips are the disciplinarian's,. not
only of others but of his own spirit.
He eats but two meals a day, frequent
" only one; sometimes not at all.
He clothes himself with ''neatness" in
the fashion of the conventionally prim
Protestant minister--white tie, frock
coat, low.cut waistcoat. He never
smiles, not because he is oppressed by
his own dignity, but because he sees
no occasion for mirth. He, does not at
tempt to impress his visitor DoWie

ABOUT, CLIFF JEWELLERS.
Theory Advanced by Investiga tor
Accounting for Quaint
Dwellings.

A new explanation as to why the
clih dwellings are situated at such an
immense height was advanced by the
commissioner OF Indian affairs, Fran
els e. Leupp. at the recent meeting of
the New York state chapter of the Col
orado Cliff Dwellings association.
The theory was states the New York
Times, that at the time the cliff dwell
ers built their quaint homes, (probably
as far back as the age of mammoths,)
an immense stream flowed by almost
ON a level with the houses. This flow
of water gradually wore down the bed
of the river until it became so sunk
en- as to leave the houses at an al
most inaccessible elevation.
Another interesting point brought
out by the commissioner related to the
fact that the doorways of the dwell
ings average only three or four feet
in height. The builders had construct
ed these openings on the principle that
as animals had small openings in the
ground. human beings needed door,
ways only sufficiently large to allow
the body to pass through.
Mr.. Leupp described these dwellings
when viewed as whole as sight OF
impressive grandeur with the un-
broken silence brooding over all.

Is in state of great excitement be-
cause of an epidemic of rabies. A
brown bull TERROR dog, supposed to
have come from the government quar-
ries at La Noble, passed through that
section about two weeks ago, and, al
though it was not known to be mad at
the time, 1t left = trail of trouble be-
hind it. It bit several head of cattle
and swine and they had to be killed,
and one dog that was bitten was also
killed.
All the other dogs in that section are
being kept closely chained for fear
that they have been infected, and the
farmers are watching their stock very
carefully for the first symptoms. So
far as known no persons were bitten.

WINTER SCHOOL ENDS
FOR THE HOPE CHAPEL
Pupils Of the Industrial Show Samples
of Work to Parents and Friends.

Over two hundred and fifty proud and
happy youngsters gathered IN hope
chapel yesterday to attend the closing
exercises Of Hope industrial school. Many
of them were accompanied by equally
proud mothers and there Mere ais Ca
Kindergarten and Industrial society,
who were proudest of all. as they had
a right to be, for without the society
there would be no Hope industrial
school.
Mrs. R. J. Evans, superintendent OF
the school, presided over the program,
Pomeroy. who introduced herself as the
" grandmother of the school. Mrs:
Pomeroy was the first superintendent Of
the industrial school and has watched
it grow from a handful Of girls to $50
boys and girls.
Mrs. W. o. Winston, president Of the
Westminster kindergarten and Indus
trial society, gave talk to the eight
department and presented each with
carnation. Miss Celia Haskell gave
some delightful recitations from Riley
and Field, and Miss Lind contributed
violin solo.
At the close Of the program ice
cream and cake were served and the
guests had an opportunity to examine al inc

tables. The thirty boys had been
studying sloyd under the direction Of
Miss Starr and Mr.. Daniels. and they
showed some well-made models Of but
| ter paddles, matchsafes, snowshovels
and other articles. Mines. Jennie Gray
and Miss Bruer have directed the sew
| ing, and they have had about twenty
five assistants from different denomina-
lions. Mrs. Archa Wilcox had charge
of the primary department and Miss
Elizabeth Loye was secretary.
The children each pay a penny q
Saturday and the collections have. al.
most paid for the expenses Of the school
this year. Many Of the children know
nothing about sewing when they enter
and they are taught the different
stitches. to hem, overcast and run a
seam. and their modelbooks are neatly
/ made. The older girls draft their own
! patterns for the garments they make.
Riverside industrial school will have
it's closing exercises next Saturday.
