a Million Ancestors.

1t may be little surprising and of
interest to learn that a person may
have had more than 1000, 600 ances-
tors within comparatively recent
years, and that without taking into
account uncles and aunts. Starting
with ones parents, each person, of
course has two, father and a moth
er The father had his two parents
and the mother had hers. Thus each
person has four grandparents. One
step further and we have eight great
grandparents. A simple calculation
gives the astonishing result that our
lineal ancestors during 20 generations
number no fewer than 1,Gf8,576, or
sufficient people if all living to poru-
late the whole Of Wales.

Fire at Little Rock DESTROYS vaIu-

Little Rock-Over 30 horses were
burned to death and another was
burned SO severely that i, was shot
later, in a fire which partially de-
stroyed the Wolfort & Reinman sta
bles at Third and Louisiana streets
shortly after dark Tuesday The ex-
act number of horses burned is not
known, as it is impossible to get into
that portion of the stable where The
horses were kent. In addition to the
loss of the horses, number of bug
gies, wagons and special vehicles were
burned, together with a large quanti-
ty of feed. The loss is roughly esti-
mated at $4,000 The insurance on
the loss is thought to be about S15,-
600. The origin of the fire is not
known.
Between ESQ and 900 head of horses
and mules we're turned out on the

INDIANS
AROUSED
ANOTHER OUTBREAK PROBABLE
SEMINOLE INDIANS ExCIT-
ED OVER ARREST OF ONE
OF THEIR TRIBE.
NEGRO AGITATORS BUSY
Work Hard to Induce Indians to Go
On War Path-Crazy Snake
Captured.

Oklahoma City.-Great excitement
prevails among the Seminole tribes
in the vicinity of Holdenville be-
cause of the arrest of one of their
number, Frank Coker. charged with
killing Marshal Baum and Deputy
Odom. during the fighting at Crazy
Snakes house Saturday.
The people in that district are
badly frightened over reports that
the Seminoles are arming to join
Crazy Snakes band Negro agita-
tors worked among the Indians
throughout the day Tuesday in an
effort to incite them to an uprising.
One story wired here declared the
Seminoles had risen and were on the
march in armed bodies. This can
not be confirmed.
Crazy Snake, the Indian chieftain,
leader of the clan of negroes, half
breeds and Creek Indians that have
been terrorizing the community about
them, is a prisoner under heavy
guard. He was captured by state
officers and was found to be badly
wounded in the hip. He surrendered
without fight near Thompson, west
of Checotah
p E. Hickman of Cheeotah brought
the first news of Crazy Snakes ar
rest. The officers are trying to keep
it a secret he told the officers at
Muskogee on his arrival, because
there is SO much prejudice against
the chief. They think he will be
subjected to violence If he is kept at
Thompson and the knowledge CT his
arrest gets out"
1t is expected that the old ehieftan
will be spirited quietly into Musko-
gee and lodged behind the Federal
bars.

A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE
OF Painting Requirements VIII Save
Much Expense.

When one sees the surface of
house or other building scaling. or
peellng, or spotted or blistered, or
showing other symptoms of paint dis
ease," it is evident that poor painter
has been on the job, and that poor
paint was used-or possibly that a
good painter had been dominated by
a property-owner who knew nothing
about paint.
It is an easy matter to be informed
on paint and painting. A complete
painting guide, including a book of
color schemes, either for exterior or
interior-speciflcat for all kinds
of painting,-and an instrument for
detecting adulteration in paint ma
terial, with directions for using it,
may be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg,
New York City, and asking for House
owners Painting Outfit No. 40.
Then, every houseowner should
make it a point to get only we'll
known reliable brands in buying his
materials. Pure white lead is espe-
cially important, or the paint will
not prove satisfactory. The famous
Clutch Boy Painter" trademark of
National Lead Company, the largest
makers OF pure white lead, is an abb
solute guarantee Of the purity and
quality of the white lead sold under
1t. That trademark is a safeguard
against paint trouble.
