Never a Territory.
The name territory is a misno-
mer for this subdivision of the repub-
lie, for the reason that it never has
been and never will be a territory.
1t always has been an Indian reserva-
ton, theoretically governed by the
interior department, and about all
the real authority applied to it came
from orders from Secretary Ethan
Allen Hitchcock in Washington. As
large in area as Indiana, and quite as
rich in natural resources, well peo-
pied, and with every condition favor
able for Industrial advancement, it
has been permitted to wabble along
in happy-go-luck fashion, until now
statehood, with any conditions at
tached, comes as a deliverance and a
promise of a great and happy future.

Many citizens never have had a
chance to discover whether they are
Democrats or Republicans. They are
mostly accused of being Democrats,
but Tams Bixby, who knows the men,
bers of the five civilized tribes all by
name, thinks a lot of them would
vote the Republican ticket if they
know some good man on it-some-
one, for instance, who had been on
the Dawes Indian commission.
Oklahoma is said to be certainly
Republican. Roosevelt is very strong
there. And the fact that B. S. Ma

gates to congress in recent years,
have been Republicans, seems to in
dicate majority of this party. The

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts
Hands Pinned Down-Miracu'
Ious Cure by Cuticura.

when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and in our
despair we went to third one. Mat
tiers became so bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks, large enough
to put a finger into. The food had to
be given with a spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
pirate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. l think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
1--WE finally thought nothing could
help, and / had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But
Lord be blessed, matters came differ

We made trial with Cuticura Soap

as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ter

A Clever Trick.
Requires Careful Balancing and You
May Fool Your Boy Friends
with 1t.

The accompanying picture shows
this little feat better than any words
could do. Place a chair on the floor,
front downward, in such a way that
the legs are horizontal and the back
is uppermost.
Get one of your boy friends to kneel
on the lower back bar OF the cnalr
and take up with his lips a piece of
candy placed on the back Of the top
bar. The picture shows you his posi-
ton, just as he is about to make the
attempt.
1t is not unlikely that the boy will
think you have set trap for him /;
that you want to give him a header
on to the floor, but you can overcome
his reluctance by first doing the thing
yourself.
All that is necessary is for you to
keep the center OF gravity back of the
chair seat. and this you can do by
crouohing very carefully. Perhaps

Tribune. 1t might be as we'll for you
to practice for while in private, and

But They Were Not Executed Because
the Prince Held His Nerve I'm
til Crisis Was Passed.

A story is told of one of the Moor
tsh princes of Granada, which is we'll
worth noting, showing as it does, the
great value of GOODNESS and self-control
in trying circumstances.
When Mahommed the Sixth usurped
Me throne of Granada, he set aside his
elder brother YOusuf the rightful heir
to the throne, 50 that the kingdom
might be secure to his own children.
He caused Prince Yousuf to be impris-
Dned In the castle of Shalobanya,
where he remained for the ten years
Of his brothers reign, Mahommed in
tending when he felt his health fail
Ing, to have his brother assassinated.
The unfortunate prince, though
brave and courageous to the last de-
gree, was forced to submit to his
brothers arbitrary will, knowing that
rebellion would be in vain. He was
man of commanding presence, cour-
.eous to all about him, and of so win
ming and gracious a manner that he
gained the love and fealty of his entire
household, any one of whom would
gladly have risked life in his cause.
This was especially true of the alcayde
of Shllobanya, who was his devoted
friend.
Prince Yousuf passed the weary days
of his captivity the best he could, his
favorite recreations being the game

Forests Falling Fast.

Finally the lumbermen can see the
beginning of the end. They have been
leveling the forests and converting
them into money. Now they have ar
rived at the point where they can con-
ceive that soon there will be no more
g-aat primeval forests to cut down.
The lumbermen have been doing a lit
tie figuring They have estimated that
there is LAYS, 1000, 000, 900 feet of lumber
standing in the United States. The
quantity which is cut every year
amounts to 100000, 900 feet. 1t is
a deduction easily made that it will
require orsy 33 years to consume the
present supply. The lumbermen are
beginning to clamor for government
assistance to save their business They
request that the expectation of logs
shall be prohibited and that all tree
plantations shall be exempt from tax
alton. II is clear that some such
measures must soon be taken, says the
Cleveland Leader. But it is doubtful
however, that those recommended by
the lumbermen will in themselves
prove to be effectual. Additional anC
stronger protective laws will probably
be found necessary.

The Kings Orders.

/ the heads of half the Spanish youth,
type that Cervantes has immortal
lied in Don Quixote.
The fascination of chess, however,
rivaled those of the tournament with
the knights of Spain, and many an
hour was beguiled over the game by
Prince Yousuf and the faithful al
cayde. They were seated thus, one
day, 10th intent upon the game, You
suf tor the time completely forgetting
the sword that was always hanging
over his head.
He was losing slowly but surely, his
adversarys knight and castle were
steadily bearing down upon his king,
when Il page hastily entered the room
and informed the alcayde that mes
senger was without, desiring to see him
upon an urgent matter of state. ..~
Tell him to walt until our game of
chess is finished" said the prince.
But the page made an lmploring ges-
ture 20 the alcayde, which brought the
latter instantly to his feet, and he
fastened out to meet the messenger.
who silently and gravely handed him
sealed note from the king. Hastily
tearing 1t open, the alcayde glanced
over the contents, his cheek blanching
as he did so. With lettering steps he
reentered the room, and the prince,
shocked at his pallor, explained
MY friend what is thy trouble?
Thou lookest as though thou hast just
received thy death warrant! Oh" he
added, joliingly, "perchance the king,
my most loving brother, demands my
head! Speak! Is it SOP"
For answer the alcayde handed him
the letter, but his hand trembled so
that the paper futtered to the floor.
Yousuf, STOPPING, coolly picked it up,
and read at a glance the following
words:
MY servant, when thou receivest
! this letter thou shalt Immediately take
the life of MY brother Yousuf and
send me his head by my trusty mes
sengar"
The eyes of the brave prince never
qualled, nor did his voice falter as he
said quietly to the page:'
Blu Jne hlnS messenger walt until
our game is ended; it Will be but a
few moments now, for | am losing
rapidly; fate is against me on every
side"
They reseated themselves at the
board, but the alcayde played wildly.
1t was an easy matter for the prince
to regain his lost advantage, and he
was Just giving checkmate when in the
distance was heard the clatter Of
horses hoofs. Nearer and nearer they
came, and soon two caballeros from
Granada, armed cap-a-pie, covered
with dust, and in the maddest haste,
came Gashing into the courtyard at full
speed.
The king is dead! Long live the
king! Long live our good king YOU
suf!"
The lesson for children to learn from
this story is of course obvious. Never
give up hope in the face of misfortune.

~The Burial OF Sir John Moore"

rThe Burial OF Sir John Moore"
"A writer in the Critic has discovered
why the author of that old-time IA
vorite of the school readers, "The
Burial of Sir John Moore" never sue
ceeded in writing any other poem
which was considered worth printing
1t appears that "The Burial of Sir
John Moore" is nothing but a transla'
ton from the French Of a poem by
Lally-Tollendal, an officer of the
French army, who wrote the poem
after the death of a fellow soldier
Here are two stanzas from the French
poem:
Nj lie son de tambour, - nj Ia
marche funebre.
Nj lie feu des soldats ne mardua
son depart
Mais du brave, a Ia hate, n travers les
tenebres
Mornes . nous portanies lie ca
davre au rempart

La lune pelne offrait un deble rayon;
La lanterne luisait peniblement dahs

The opening stanzas OF THE Burial
of Sir John Moore" are as follows:
Not a drum was heard, not funeral note
AS his corpse to the rampant we hur'
red;
Not a soldier discharged his farewell
shot
Ger the grave where our hero We
buried.
We buried him darltly at dead Of night
The sods with our bayonets turning;
BY the struggling moonbeams' misty light
And the lantern dimly burning.
This similarity runs through the
entire poem, and leaves no room for
doubt that Rev. Charles Wolfe sim
ply appropriated to his own use the
work of the French poet, put a new
title on it, and thus instead of dying
unknown beyond the boundaries of his
little parish made his name familiar
to all English speaking people. 1t was
q master stroke on the part of Rev.
Charles. The Critics Investigator ap-
pears to have been unable to discover
where Lally-Tollendal stole the poem.

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
