ONE LAST ATTEMPT.-A young north
ern woman once went out to visit the
famous old chapel and cemetery OF
St. Roch near New Orleans. The &C.
centric old Frenchman in charge was
delighted to show her about, and when
thew came to one Of the stations
where hung q painting Of the Crucifix-
ion wishing to make sure CT a firm
foundation for her appreciation OF the
subject, he inquired:
Madame Is an artist?'
mo-" modestly replied madame
"only a student"
The old man was visibly disappoint-
ed, but taking new courage he tried
again:
Madame shas travelled much. Per-
chance to Paris?"
NO." replied the lady with proper
regret, II have never been to Paris"
Increased disappointment, almost
reaching the point of disapproval, but
followed by another brave attempt at
establishing mutual interest and un-
derstanding:
Madame is a good Catholic?"
mo" sadly replied the unfortunate
woman, a trife uncomfortable, al
though amused.
"well," in desperation, this painting
Is by a great artist-a French artist
who lives in Paris. 1t represents the
Christ who long ago was crucified
upon a cross. You have heard OF
Him m?"-Everybody's Magazine.

HOW MEERscHAUM Is MINED.
Where II Is Found-Proeess Of Making
u Into PipOs,


Despite our familiarity with meer-
schaum. az used in pipes, 1t Is safe to
say that few Of us have more than a
vague idea Of the peculiar properties
Of the substance, or the condition In
which 1t occurs In nature. The an
clients believed the substance to be
petrified seafoam, hence the German
name meerschaum, meaning seafoam;
and a very apt name 1t Is, for the
mineral Is very white and so light 1t
will float when dry. Pieces Of meer-
schaum have been found floating In
the Black sea which were evidently
washed out of their matrlx by the
waves This may also have had its
influence on the seafoam theory Of
its formation.
Meerschaum Is found In best quail
ity and most abundant quantity in
Asia Minor. though 1t also occurs in
Greece. Spain, Moravia and Morocco,
and even in this country In South
Carolina. The richest mines are on
the plains Of Eskishehr, $50 miles
southeast of Constantinople. One Of
years old, and consists Of about two
thousand pits within en- area Of six
miles, all but about $50 of which have
been exhausted. The mineral occurs
in nodules or Jumps Of various and ir-
regular sizes. buried in the alluvial
deposit Of the plain. Another mine
comprises 5000 pits. only 100 Of
which are being worked.
The mineral Is mined by the inhab-
itants of the surrounding villages and
transported in the rough to Eski-
shehr The meerschaum Is soft when
mined but soon hardens when expos
ed to the air. For this reason the
Jumps are roughly scraped off at first
and then laid aside to dry. When dry
they are subjected to a thorough
scraping and cleaning, and are finally
waxed and polished. The Jumps are
now sorted according to size in four
classes and packed in boxes. In this
condition the meerschaum Is shipped
to the pipe manufacturers.
In a meerschaum pipe factory the
larger pieces are cut with a band saw
to a convenient size. after which the
meerschaum is soaked until it be-
comes quite soft. Meerschaum when
wet becomes very soapy, and will
produce quite a lather If rubbed. In
fact, the material serves as a very
good substitute for soap, and Is thus
used in Morocco. Meerschaum dust
makes an excellent cleaning powder
for cleaning spots from fabrics. Af-
ter being thoroughly soaked, the

There was no reply.

"Still no reply.

I rang, and finally a waiter appeared.
"This waiter was a robust man OF
stern and forbidding aspect.
"Did you ring% he said in a rumb'

"T did, I answered.

PAYING OFF THE cHERoKEEs.
How the Indians Received Their
Money and Paid Their Debts.

The Cherokee nation literally roll
ed in money when the six and one
half million dollars received from the
sale Of the Cherokee strip was dis
bursed among the tribal citizens.
The per capita share was $265.70.
The payment was made usually with
two 500 bills, one $50. one $40, one
IS and seventy cents in silver.
The money was disbursed by Zeke
Starr, treasurer, and Henry Effort,
assistant treasurer of the nation.
Most of the Indians were in debt,
and creditors swarmed in towns
where the payments were made. II.
A. Latta, who attended these pay
ments, in recalling incidents lately
said:
Much has been told Of the dis
honesty of the Indians, but in this
payment there were many examples
of integrity. At Tahlequah an old
full blood woman, perhaps sixty
years old, a widow, drew for eleven
participants in the fund. She had
traded with many of the merchants
who sat at the tables between which
she had passed. After the money
had been counted out to her she
swept the entire amount into her
apron and holding a corner In each
hand, she passed from trader to tra-
der, pausing before each until each
had taken a sufficient amount to bal
ance her Indebtedness. Not once did
she count the change or investigate
tna account. She was honest, and
conscious of her own integrity did
not question the honesty of another.
This was only one case. There were
scores like 1t, and, though not pleas
ant to reiterate, the confidence thus
placed was sometimes betrayed.
There are cases where the greedy
creditors took a handful and gave
back no change.
"A mixed blood Of some astuteness
came to settle his account with a
trader. In looking over his account
he discovered a charge for a side
saddle, amounting to SIS. He had
not made such a purchase and had
the bill remedied without trouble,
the willy OLD trader merely telling
his bookkeeper to place the item to
John Does account The bookkeeper
himself is authority for the statement
that I'm this way that self-same sad
die was collected for eighteen times" >"
In Claremore bankers were in at
tendance from Coffeyville, seeking
deposits for their banks. One store
in the town had safe Of moderate
dimensions and security, and this
store was headquarters for bankers
and collectors alike. The merchant
himself had a mere bagatelle Of some
100000 on the payment. After sup
per the counting room was filled with
collectors and bankers. parlor ta-
BILE was called into use and money as
high as ones chin was stacked on
every inch.
1t was the minute for verifying the
memorandum of the day. On one
particular evening there was on this
table at one time close to half mil
lion Of dollars in crisp new treasury
notes. Lapsful Of money? There
were wagon loads of 1t! 1t was no
uncommon thing to change hun
dred dollar bill for a five cent sale.
And the scarcity of change was re-
sponsible for charging twenty-five
cents for changing a bill of that de-
nomination. Bartlesville correspon-

Gastonia Gazette, May 4: MIR. and
Mrs. D. D. Grier of Pleasant Ridge
took their little thirteen months old
son, Julius, to Charlotte Tuesday to
have a slight operation performed to
remove growth from the child's face.
The operation which was performed
at the Whisnant sanitarium was a
successful one. The child is now at
\ home and happy. Nv. N. Levy, the
famous green goods man who Is doing
term on the CASTOR county chain
gang, made his escape during the din
ner hour Tuesday. He was captured
several hours later in Rhymes mill
pond near Mt. Holly where he had TAX
en- refuge from the hounds that were
on his trail. &. . The town Of Yorkvilie,
s. c., ahead Of some Of her sister
towns in several respects already, has
lust added two more feathers to her
cap. Her merchants close their stores
at 6 o'clock in the evening, and the
postmaster no longer delivers mail to
school children going to or from school,
among whom, says THE ENQUIRER, the
postofice habit had become a nuisance
both to the postmaster and the public.
| .Excitable people may now under
stand when 1t Is perfectly proper for
them to calm nerves that have been
demoralized by the wild shrieks Of the
fire alarm. The fire chief has arranged
with the power house to give a signal
when the fire has been extinguished,
the signal to be one long blast of the
whistle. Mr.. John Lindsay main
tains that the evidence is not sufficient
and IL Mr.. w. S. Loughridge wants
people to believe he is not married he
must bring up more people than Capt.
Stowe and the clerk Of court to prove
it. 1t may be that no license was
granted in CASTOR county and the knot
was not tied by Esquire Stowe, but 1t
is an understood fact that they still do
marrying business in South Carolina
and Mr.. Loughridge has been across
the line a number of times recently.
