Tho More Wives the Less Work.

Tho More Wives the Less Work.
According to the Geographical Jour.
nal OF London. the marital relations
among the peoples Of Nigeria vary
somewhat according to their state Of
civilization: "Polygamy Is the rule.
the reason given being that 1t is i'm
possible for one woman to do all the
work Of the house, look after the chill
dren, prepare and cook the food, fetch
the daily supply OF water (often an
arduous job. cultivate the plantation
and 60 to market. The African is an
exceedingly hungry person. 1t is the
custom to eat several times day
when at home, and the men spend
most Of their day sitting in the pala-
yer house or market place. while the
women bring the food all day long.
One wife could not possibly do this.
Besides. the African lady encourages
it. for she says. The more wives the
less work."

'improver' bought for small figure
on account of his Improvement to the
land The act also was SO loose in Its
terms that any squatter might do ev-
en- this piece of rascality after the
act was a law. The law spoke of
legal occupancy" and titles" but did
not describe what legal right was.
Moreover the occupant might pay for
it in installments but no penalty was
fixed to forfeit the right of the man
to his land If he did not pay the in
stallments.
The law was bad enough. But worse
things were to come.
On the slightest claim the Creeks
were defrauded of their land. Land
sharks made up dummy lists of own
ers, some were actual citizens who
had never seen the land, others were
minors, still others held claims for
lands without being aware of the
fact and others were purely ficticuous
names. The deeds (many of them
forged) were shown by the agent to
the Dawes commission and no other
the evidence it was brought out that
the agents actually stole by forgery

own purposes.
Mr.. William Dudley Foulke was
sent out as special commissioner in
this matter. he found that the town
site commissioners themselves admit
ted that they had no knowledge or in
formation whether the quitclaim deeds
which the agents showed them had
ever been delivered and said that they
had no knowledge of whom the deeds
were made to. One commissioner
much consideration. 1 thought that
the nation was doing we'll to get some
J
towns thus stolen from the Creek ma.
ton.
1t is generally known in Oklahoma
that Haskell had some of these lots
and 1t seems probable that if a grand
jury has found sufficient evidence to
indict the governor there is some
thing in it. One of the inspectors
stated that in his opinion there were
very few men who had legal title to
the land.
M. L. Mott who is the attorney for
the Creek nation says:
Elm the controversy last fall be.
tween Haskell and ME I wrote two op-
en- letters charging him with the very
frauds for which the grand jury has
now indicted him. He denied those
charges then. I stated then that l
had in my possession the sworn state
ments of the 200 dummies that Has
kell had used in carrying out his land
frauds
If all the other high charactered
citizens" of Muskogee are in the same
degree innocent it may be true that
these are the pick of the state of Okla
homa.
1t may easily be that the grand jury
being also composed of these same
citizens will follow the legislature of
that state in declaring Haskell guilt
less but the Creeks it is to be hoped
will be able to recover in the civil
suits which are tried before the Unit
ed States court.
The state of Oklahoma may we'll be
proud Of it's governor.

WANDERLUST.

20 wisdom in the Winter,
But folly in the Springtime,
Remembering the ragged days
When the full heart overlooked:
Wisdom in the Winter,
But now for empty pockets,
Hunger, dust and sunburn-
The road! The road. The road"
There must be an Unborn longing
deep down in every mans heart to
shake the dust off his feet in the
spring and go out to places where
there are new scenes and strange cit
les. Perhaps it comes to many peo-
pie directly as an inheritance from
our maruding Saxon ancestors.
Many Of our tramps and those brave
spirits who have run away from home
are classed as degenerates. 1t would
be a fairer classification if many of
them were put in the category of those
who had never risen to what it called
regeneration.
What joy to walk the road alone
with pack on back and dog at heel.
Where would be the romance in the
world: who would make the things
happen If in their various station OF
life there were not certain individuals
who would not be bound by conven-
tions. The little black lambs who have
strayed away from home: call them
soldiers of fortune or Adventures
tramps gypsies, Bohemians, pirates
hoboes, Vikings or discoveries. They
are all the same-Gentlemen of the
road.
No. the foot that itches for the road
is far better than the hand that itches
for money. Beginning with Ulysses
and the Prodigal Son and ending nc
man knows when. they have all been
a good set. hail-fellow-well-met and
ready for any fate. That is thing
which cannot always be said if those
who live rooted to their household
goods. *.-..

BUSY woMEN's HAIR.

According to an authority, the
sale OF hair restorers of all kinds
lis growing by leaps and bounds,
and the majority of the purchas-
|ers are business women. This au-
|thority says: bad air-affect-
ing the general health and in time
|acting upon the nourishment of
the harris undoubtedly the chief
cause of the business women's loss
lof hair"
This is a serious matter, for a
beautiful head of hair is always
admired by the young man in
search of a wife, and is in the
lopinion of many employers al
most necessity in business.
Experts recommend that the
business girl remember that pre-
Ivention is better than cure. She
lshould not wait to care for her
hair until she find it failing her.
IShe must not sacrifice her hair to
the fear of arriving late at bust
ness. She must get up earlier in
1.-THE morning, IL necessary, to give
lit proper care. She must exercise
lin the open air. As far as posi-
BILE she must avoid working where
her hair is subject to direct rays
of artificial light.
The bushes girl should observe
these hints, and remember a fact
which the expert points out, 1.-THE
deterioration in the hair of the
male population makes 1t more de-
sirable thai the glory of woman
should be preserved at its best.

TO DRESS WE'LL
is NOT VANITY

The wearing of good clothes
produces poise and beauty of coun-
tenance, confidence and courage
as well. The satisfaction that a
woman feels when she knows she
is well dressed goes long way to
producing an easy expression
which is conducive to beauty. The
aim to be well dressed, therefore,
is no due only to vanity, as 1t is
every woman's duty to look as well
as possible.
