prepared when the club was notified
by Mr.. Parks that its services were
not needed as an orchestra had been
engaged. This explanation is due the
public as the programs are printed

The house was called to order by ~
Frank Redd, supervisor OF schools, for
the Cherokee Nation, after which
Mayer Parks delivered the address OF
Welcome and it's safe to say chat his
earnestness Of speech led all to feel
that they we're to make themselves at
home on this occasion Mayor Park S
address was responded to by Q. Il. +.
Brewer, president Of the Cherokee
Board OF Education, at Tahlequah
and was one of the most eloquent adj
dresses ever delivered to body o.
educators ia this city.
After Mr.. Brewers address the reg.
ular program published In our Wed
nesday's issue was taken up.
This is she first meeting OF its kind
ever held ia the Cherokee nation and
is bigger thing than was anticipat'
ed. The enrolment is already as large
as it was expected to be, and every
train brings more teachers.
The Cherokee tribe is said to furn'
ish more teachers and of highel
quality than any of the other five civ
ilized tribes. Besides this, they arr
said to be more pretty girls In thi'
tribe of Indians than any other tribt
known.

TAHLEQUAH WINS
Vinita Lost in a Brilliant Game TO
Tahlequah Yesterday.

one of the prettiest and hottest
football games ever seen 10 Vinita
was that pulled off al Sportsman's
Park yesterday afternoon bel ween thel
'raheauah Seminary and the home
team. The day was ideal for football 4
and when the order TO play was given
at 5 O'Clock, at least 1,5oo spectators
were on the field.
Tahlequah sent over a big deleBa-
zion OF rooters and they never lost
minutes time id cheering their team |
TO victory. Vinita. was there with
the goods as she always Is, but the en-
thusiasm of the rooters was not
enough to overcome the skill ana
agility of her opponents.
The game was resplendent with
brilliant plays and both teams may
well be proud Of their splendid work
with the exception Of few altercaT
tions, which were Of no consequences
the game passed Off without an incl
dent Of any nature, and it might be
added that it was the cleanest game
Of ball ever pulled off in this city
The Tahlequah team showed them-l
selves to be gentlemen IN every re+
spect and ball players who thoroughs
lily understand the game as the word
football implies. Even among the
Icrowd who accompanied the team
there was not man who did not
lshow the mark Of respect and gentili-
ty which is so seldom seen on the grid
iron.
The home team put up as nice and
clean a game Of ball as could be wish
ed for and il was unfortunate for
them that several of their best play
ers we're ruled out OF the game. To
this Tahlequah can attribute largely
to her success and the final outcome
OF the game. The results would have
been decidedly different had all our
old warriors lined up for the battle.
Everyone of the boys who played how
ever, made a record Of which they
need not be ashamed.
Tahiequah got the ball and made .
kick over the south end Of the field.
vinita then got the ball and brough9
/ it to the twenty-five yard line and
kicked. The ball then went to Tah-
lequah, who made the first touch
down. Vinita then kicked off to-
Tahlequah and secured the ball on
down at the twenty yard line and car
ried it through for touchdown.
Score to-
In the last half Vinita was unable to
score and the two touch-downs by the
lTahleauah team made Is to 5.
The visitors fairly went wild and af-
| ter the usual congratulations and col
llege yells the crowd returned to the
the city. #
| The feature of the game was the
| magnificent work Of Paddy Mayes,
lof Tahlequah. IL is to him that they
owe their success in winning the game,
Hank Raines' touchdown was an
other feature that won him many
compliments.
We were defeated but the Table
uuah bunch will never forget that they
were in football game.
The following was the lineup.

WORD SHELVES IN BRAIN.
Indications Prove Word. Are Ar
ranged There Like Library Books.

Indications Prove Words Are Ar
ranged There Like Library Books.
Disorders Of speech, due to physical
damage In the brain, show that words
are there arranged somewhat like books
on library shelves. When man,
therefore, learns new language he
has to provide new shelf for its
words. This Is proved by the case,
among many others like it, of man
who, besides his mother English, learn
ed French, Latin and Greek. He be-
came word-blind in English, but still
could read French, though with some
mistakes, and Latin with fewer mis-
takes than French, while Greek he
could read Notwithstanding that his
English shelf was ruined, his French
shelf damaged, his Latin shelf less so,
while his Greek row escaped entirely.
Other Instances show that the books
may be 50 jammed sidewise, SO to
speak, that not one of them can be
got out, in which case the event proves
that on each shelf the verbs are placed
first the pronouns next, then the pre-
positions and adverbs and the nouns
last. A man was brought to my clinic
who could not utter word. My dag
nosis ascrbed his disability to tumor-
like swelling in the speech area, which
might be absorbed by giving him iodide
of potassium. then had him remov-
ed so that he could not hear what was
said, while told the class that If he
recovered he would very likely get his
verbs first, and his nouns last. When
he returned two weeks afterward, on
my showing him knife he said: "You
CUT" pencil, "You write" etc. Three
weeks later he had all his preposi-
lions, but he could name no noun for
several weeks afterward. The reasons
are that verbs are our innermost and
first learned words, because we know
that we see, we hear, etc., before we
know what it Is that we see or hear !;
while what 1t Is that we see or while
nouns represent things outside of u.s.,
to which we later give names. The
nouns that we learn last and there
fore forget soonest are the names of
persons; that is why elderly people are
ever complaining that they cannot re-.
call names.-Everybody's Magazine.

RoosEvE1T's $4,000 PHOTO.
It Show. Him Taking Fence on

1t Shows Him Taking Fence on q
Hunter-Has Been Copied Widely.
The most widely published and best
known photograph in existence is said
to be that Of President Roosevelt TAX
ing fence on his favorite hunter, says
the New York Sun. This has been
printed in almost every paper and mag
azine in the world which uses half
tones, and the sales from it have al.
ready amounted to more than $4,000
making 1t the most profitable photo
graph ever taken.
Nearly 5000 copies have been signed
by the President to be used as special
gifts, and the demand for it wherever
it has been placed on sale has been
steady during the three and a half
years since 1t was made.
1t was made with a shutter that
opened and closed In one fifteen-hun-
dredth part of second. The President,
accompanied by an orderly, left the
cabinet meeting one morning and join
ed the photographer Mt Chevy Chase in
the suburbs of Washington. 1t was
necessary for the President to force his
horse over the fence dozen times be-
fore successful picture was taken.
President Roosevelt is probably the
most photographed man in the world,
with the possible exception of Emperor
William, and photographers assert un-
reservedly that he is most difficult to
pose. He Is nervous and is often
snapped in what might seem hit or
miss style, but every picture ever taken
of him is thoroughly characteristic.

Sport for the gods! Who else flies
over sleeping world, through space
and knows the joy of motion with
out movement, without sound, with
out effort? Our Roman Aero Club
is only three years old, and was in
stituted by no less parsonage than
Her Majesty Queen Margherita Of
Italy. 1t had its inspiration from
the Military Balloon Brigade-the
Brigata Specialization the Royal En-
gineers, a very up to date corps, who
were the first to make and patent
aluminium painted balloons. Now
nearly every day in spring these love-
ly silver spheres float of over the
Campagna, looking like the dome OF
st. Peters let loose. Soon after I
had become a member of the club,
I made my first trip, taking an en-
chanting flight, sometimes rising over
5000 feet, and then sinking swiftly
to earth, to taste the thrilling Joy
OF rapid travel on the. guide rope
across the most fragrant and beauti-
full land l know. The strange sense
of being disembodied of flight with.
out movement, of rapid travel of mo-
tionless suspension in mid-heaven, Of
solemn silence, without oppression,
makes a new environment for the
heart of man.-Century.

QUEER ESKIMO CUSTOMS.


Festival for the Dead IL Held Every
Year Before Christmas.
Inc natives of the Yukon River re-
glon hold festival of the dead every
year shortly before Christmas and a
greater festival at intervals of several
years, says the New York Tribune. At
these seasons food, drink and clothes
are provided for the returning ghosts
IN the clubhouse Of the village, which
Is illuminated for the occasion with oil
lamps Every man or woman who
wishes to honor dead friend sets up
lamp on stand in front of the place
which the dead one used to occupy In
the clubhouse. These lamps, filled with
seal oil, are kept burning day and
nght, until the festival is over. They
are believed to light the shades on
their return to their old home and
back again to the land of the dead. If
any one fails to put up lamp in the
clubhouse and to keep it burning, the
shade whom he or she desires to honor
could not find Its way to the place, and
50 would miss the feast,
When person has been much dis.
liked his ghost is sometimes purposely
ignored, and that is deemed the sever.
est punishment that could be inflicted
upon him. After the songs of invita-.
ton to the dead have been sung the
givers OF the feast takes small por.
tion Of food from every dish and casts
IT down as an offering to the shades;
tnen each pours little water on the
noor SO that 1t runs through the cracks.
IN this way they believe that the spir.
ituai essence of all the food and water
is conveyed to the souls. With songs
and dances the feast comes to an end
and the ghosts are dismissed to their.
own place. The dancers, dance. moi
only in the clubhouse, but also at the
graves, and on the ice If the dead met
their deaths by drowning.
On the eve Of the festival the near
est male relative goes to the grave and
summons the ghost by planting there a
small model of a seal spear or wood
en- dish, according as the dead was
man or woman. The totems Of the
dead are marked on these implements
The dead who have none to make offer
ings to them are believed to suffer
great restitution. Hence, the Eskimo

To Plough Up the Missouri.

Mr.. Eacretts plan is to plough up
the bottom of the river, and the cur.
