that country and to the present demand
for pumping plants.
AS is well known, Mesopotamia was
once a garden spot, watered by irrigation
from the Euphrates and Tigris. But the
canals have fallen into ruin; partly, per-
haps. because of wars, causing neglect
of the canals; partly, perhaps, because
the forests were cut off. causing the wa
ter supply to fail; and, partly, as some
say, because alkali accumulated in the
SOIL as in some irrigated regions of our
own west.
But modern influences are at work. 1t
is said that Sir William Willcocks, the
engineering and irrigation expert, is seek
ing to bring back these regions to culti-
vation. His two principal projects are
estimated to cost respectively s2O,000,000
and $17,000,000 his calculations showing a
probable return on the outlay of from 16
to 10 per cent. Bagdad is the center Of
the area which 1t Is proposed to irrigate.
Reasons for Policy
A recent issue of the Outlook gives a
review of the reasons for the national
forest policy, and the objections thereto.
In summarizing some of the principles
involved dt says:
ITO conserve the natural resources of
the nation is absolutely essential If 1t Is
d
areas of the public domain from falling
into the hands of corporations or indi-
viduals with large. resources is the one
way to make sure that the future fnhab-
itants of the west shall be freeholders
and not tenants"
That citizens shall be freeholders. not
vassals of other, weather citizens; and
that the earth which they inhabit shall
be a rich source of the means of life
these are aims worthy the exercise of the
highest powers of government.
Want Eucalyptus
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
road has sent the manager of its tie and
timber department, E. o. Faulkner, on an
exploring journey to Hawaii, Japan and
Australia, to study the eucalyptus "
those countries, and perhaps to buy trees
for planting. The Santa Fe railroad has
a thousand acres in eucalyptus in fCali-
fornia, which are intended to supply tele-
phone poles and railroad ties. These are
doing well, but 1t is hoped that Mr.. Faulk-
ner can find still better varieties. 1t Is a
novelty for railroad to be undertaking
agricultural explorations in foreign lands.

Admiral Togo Lands Safely and
Whips His Feline Rojestvensky.
Admiral Togo, an Angora cat, jump
ed seven stories the other day, vaulted
a six-foot fence and whipped his rival
to standstill, says the New York
World. This Is the tale told by his
fond possessors and vouched for as
gospel truth by many who rushed to
Togo's aid, expecting to attend his
funeral. Togo makes his home with
the family of Charles Littlefield In the
Wellington apartments in New York.
Miss Helen Littlefield Is his special
caretaker. Her uncle brought Togo
over from Japan three years ago.
BY way Of getting a reputation he
swallowed paris green and lived to
fight again.
Miss Helen was playing with the
admiral on the roof of the apartment
house when Togo peeped around an
island, SO to speak, and spied his Ro-
jestvensky, who was seated on a six
foot fence eighty feet below. Togo
sailed through the air much like fly
Ing squirrel, alighted in the soft midst
Of flower bed and then mounted the
fence and put his enemy to flight.
Togo permitted himself to be car
ried upstairs and petted. Later veteri-
marian Mulvery thumped Togo from
head to foot and found nary a scratch.

GOLDEN DAYS IN THE STRIP.

1t Was When the Cherokees Got Pay
for Their Lands.
The Cherokee nation literally "rolled
in money" when the $1,000 900 receiy ed
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 $265.70 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. 7. 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 a 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 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 1t, and, though
not pleasant to relate, the confidence
thus placed was sometimes betrayed.
There are cases where the greedy cred
itor took a 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 dlmen-
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 ta-
BILE at one time close to half a million
dollars in crisp new treasury notes.
Laps full of money? There were wag-
onloads Of It, 1t was no uncommon
thing to change hundred-bill for a s.
cent sale. And the scarcity Of change
was responsible for the custom of
charging % cents for changing a bill Of
that denomination.

Audrey waited a moment. Now that

but II was only for an instant. Away
In the dim light she saw a mans form :

"Mr. Rochfort " she called In her clear,

groan had all but escaped him, but he
