Til" great attraction which "The Old

not difficult to find. IL is not in it,
plot, for it has none: il is not in its
love scenes, for there are none. except
in the way of humorous suggestion; il
is not in the vilainy that is exposed
and punished, for there is no villany
in the play worth mentioning: but ii Is
without doubt in that unconventional
domestic country life in which the
most conventional ana artificial de-

play; it tells over and over again the
things which everybody knows. and yet

is the fact that several of Californ-

have been filed with the railroad
commission by the Northern Pa

points on the Washington & Co

that the two roads have now a traf-

are of their own accord hauling
wheat from those points at the
same rate as the commission
thinks proper. Further hearing Is
asked for by the road.

COLONEL HENDERSONS
POEM.

Several years ago the late Col. ID. b.
Henderson wrote poem entitled Eyes
or No?n which slumbered until the
other day, when 1t was read in Des
Moines at a meeting held in the famous
Iowan's memory. The poem runs:
Is there mentor strong and good
That always indicates the road
Where we should 20,
That tells us with unerring voice
Which OF the words should be our choice.
The Yes or No?
we have the bibles OF the earth,
With all their holy power and worth,
And vet we know
The world Is wild with disputation
As to the "true road to salvation'-@
The Yes or No.
When seeking virtues truest path
And all the purest gems she hath,
Is there no woe?
Is there no doubt IN noblest mind
Who In. the word from heaven would
find
The Yes or NoJ
Onr. hearts win whisper: ssThis is right;
Here live and love and dgiuk delight
Nor dream OF woe"
When reason suddenly cries out
In tones that fill the heart with doubt
And thunders: NOR
And ever thus we rise and fan,
We hope and fear and tremble all
Until we GO
Then we shall have a sweet repose,
Inere Is a light that melts our woes,
Lost Is the No.

new state to be added to the Union

which have adopted Indian titles for
state names. The convention. after
some little discussion, decided that
the new state should be known as Sc
quota. as a tribute 60 the great
Cherokee leader, and is a fitting
honor which America owes to one or
the really great red men OF this conti-
nent. The Cherokee Indian alphabet
was originated by George Gist, half
breed, known to the tribe as Sequoia,
He was a statesman and a peaceable
leader among the tribe. He was an
hliterate man but the idea OF an
alphabet for the Cherokee tribe was
conceived from the brands he saw on
cattle. He carved eighty-six charac-
ters with bis hunting knife out OF pine
bark, then he called the wise men to-
gether, and explained the characters.
The tribunal council adopted that, and
n later years one OF the tribe trans
ated the Bible into the Cherokee
language, through which medium
