Hoke Smith about his granting the Foster lease to 680. 900 acres of the lands of the Osage Nation, thus trying to throw the onus of the badsmelling renewal of that lease by the present admlstratlon, at a time when some of the most valuable oil fields in the world had been developed on the land, on the Cleveland administration. Mir. Smith says the Foster lease was made by 8 republican ad- ministration, and approved by It he Cleveland administration; that the approval was at the re- quest of the Osape Indian coun- sel; that at the time of it's ap- proval no oil or gas had been discovered on any portion of the land covered by the lease, or on any land adjacent thereto, even in Texas or Kansas; or were any oil pipe lines or railroads ac- cossible for transportation from the Osage country. Hoke re- minds the president that the lease, which MT. Haskell attack ed and wants revoked, is the one granting 680, ,000 acres of the Osage lands, on which are some of the finest oil wells known, which are accessible to oil pipe lines and railroads, by the pres ent administration, without re- gard to the valne thereof. Mir. Roosevelt will have time to medi- tate over what Hoke Smith has said. -Ex.

a book, while young daughter of his,
about ten years Of age, was dying. She

with her, and then put the following ques-
ton to him.
''Do you want me to die by your unbe-

came to die, as there was to be no life be-

Next. he wants to know what the Infidels
have done for the world. He then tells of
how the Christians have established great
hospitals, infrmaries, poor-houses. asylums,
etc. He said the fool saith in his heart,
there is no God and think everybody that
says so is fool. He feels a great deal of
sympathy for lnfdes, who are but misled.
That is. for the ones who want to believe
