GOLDEN DAYS IN THE STRIP.

1t Was When the Cherolees Got Pay
for Their Lands.
The Cherokee nation literally rolled
in money" when the $6,5OO,00O received
from the sale Of the Cherokee strip was
disbursed among the tribal citizens In
1894, says the Kansas City Star. The
per capita share was $265.7O The pay
ment was made usually with two 500
bills, one $50, one $40, one IS and 70
cents in silver. The money was dis
bursed 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. I. A.
Latta, who attended these payments,
In recalling incidents lately, said:
much has been told of the dishon-
esty of the Indian, but in this payment
there were many examples Of integ-
rity. At Tahlequah full-blood wom-
an, perhaps 60 years old, widow, drew
for eleven participants in the fund.
She had traded with many Of the mer-
chants who sat at the tables between
which she had passed. After the mon
ey 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 trader, pausing
before each until each had taken suf-
ficient amount to balance her indebted
ness. Not once did she count the
change or investigate the account. She
was honest, and concious of her own
integrity, did not question the honesty
of another This was only one case.
There were scores like it, and, though
not pleasant to relate, the confidence
thus placed was sometimes betrayed.
There are cases where the greedy cred
itor took handful and gave back no
change.
"a mixed blood of some astuteness
came to settle his account with trader.
In looking over his account he discov-
cred the charge of side saddle
amounting to SIS. He had not made
such a purchase and had the bill rem
edied 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 in this way that self
same saddle was collected for eighteen
times"
In Claremore bankers were in at
tendance from Coffeyville, seeking de-
posits for their banks. One store in
the town had safe Of modern dimen-
sions and security and this store was
headquarters for bankers and collect
ors alike. The merchant himself had
a mere bagatelle Of some $4,000 on
the payment. After supper the count
ing room was filed with collectors and
bankers. A parlor table was called in
to use and money as high as ones chin
was stacked on every available inch.
1t was the minute for verifying the
memorandum of the day. On one par
ticular evening there was on this ia
BILE at one time close to half million
dollars In crisp new treasury notes.
Laps full Of money? There were wag-
onloads Of it. 1t was no uncommon
thing to change q hundred-b bill for a 8
cent sale. And the scarcity Of change
was responsible for the custom of
charging 25 cents for changing bill of
that denomination.

Although the new method of treat
ing consumption by open air and full
feeding, which has become Of late 80
general, has accomplished wonders In
the way Of curing, or at least Of ar
resting the progress of the disease,
1t Is destined to be productive Of still
greater good to the race in preventing
this terrible scourge. The belief that
tuberculosis can be inherited has been
generally abandoned, but the fact re-
mains that the child Of tuberculous
parents is in danger. He may not &C.
quire the disease by direct heredity,
but he often has a legacy of weakened
resisting power which predIsposes him
to the attacks Of any infectious dis
ease and as he Is peculiarly. exposed
to tuberculosis in the home where the
malady prevails, 1t is no wonder that
he sooner or later acquires 1t.
That he may be saved from this fate
demands the cooperation Of two per-
sons himself and the person who is
already a sufferer. The sick person
must use the greatest care to destroy
the expectorated matter, and also to
prevent communicating the air by. a
bacillus-laden spray when he coughs.
The sputum should be deposited In a
special RECEPTACLE paper napkin
which can be Immediately burned, or a
cardboard box which can be used a
number Of times and then thrown into
the fire.
When coughing he should hold a
handkerchief before the face, and in
speaking he should never stand very
close to the person addressed. The
sufferer should never kiss any one, and
in receiving kiss should offer the
cheek or the forehead.
Napkins and handkerchiefs used by
hsm should not 60 into the common
wash, and for additional safety they
had better be Of paper and be burned
after use. 81
The person who has not yet the dis
ease, but who Is predisposed thereto,
should follow the same rules as one
who Is being treated for the actual dis
ease, although perhaps less vigorously.
He should sleep in the open air, or at
least BY an open window, and should
be ontdoors as much as possible during
