thinking.
As she lay there she heard little voices,
and looking up she saw the little busy
bees, and they were singing. one Of them
sneered at her and said: Afraid TO try
again." Then they all laughed at her and
sang, "Try, try again"
Then she woke UP and after that she
never forgot her dream and always tried

German Preparedness for War.

Plans for tho invasion Of every Gu
ropean and transatlantic country, in
Guiding the United states, lie ready
for use in the drawers of special re-
ceptacles at the German war office,
and Immediately on the declaration of
a every officer, man and boy in
the service would be informed by tel
egraph of the outbreak of hostilities.
Being In the possession of secret in
structions, the purport of which he
has sworn not to divulge, every man
in the vast German fighting machine
knows exactly the place assigned to
him and what he has to do. within a
few hours after the country has taken
the field. Every officer is in the pos
session of secret mobilization orders
that would enable him to take his
place with his men OF the gigantic
military chessboard without further
instructions. The entire railway would
be handed over Ia the military rail-
way department, a branch of the SER
vice that assumes control over the
transport of the army. All German
railway stock is built with an ultimate
idea of war. The traveller through
Germany will notice that every truck,
open or covered, has peculiar hiero-
glyphics painted on IL in a front cor
ner, which on closer examination read
as follows: Fur IL Mann. oder g
Pferde. Gewicht-." These figures
denote the number of horses, men or
the weight of guns that the car can
carry during war time. Germany
stands alone of all countries in the
world In being financially mobilized
for war and in possessing a wal
fund" The amount may seem insult
ficient when compared to the entire
cost h n n continental war might m
tail. yet IL would enable the country
to tide over the first few days and to
administer the first blow without de-
lay.-McClure's.

commission to the Five Civilized
Tribes was appointed to supervise the
original enrolment. 1t Is claimed that
agreements entered into between this
commission and the national Indian
councils We're unconstitutional and
void because they were not ratified
by a majority of the members of the
designated class referred to originally.
The case was first heard before
Judge K. e.. Campbell in the United
states court for the Eastern district
of Oklahoma in the summer OF 1908.
The court held that the right of II
individual to share in the lands and
moneys of the Nations depended upon
his membership in either of the
tribes and that the determination OF
uch question of membership rested
solely with congress and such agen-
cies as congres might employ. As
congress had provided that the tribal
rolls when approved by the secretary
of the interior should be the evidence
of such right IL membership, and as
the secretary of the Interior had act
ed in the matter, excluding the plain
tiffs, it was the opinion of the court
that this action was final and could
not be reviewed, and the appeal, If
any, was to congress. The complain
ants excepted to the ruling of the
United States court, taking their ease
to the supreme court of the United
States.
The commission to the Five Civil
lied Tribes was abolished in 1905, and
the remnants of its affairs given in
charge of a single commissioner, with
instructions to finally wind up tribal
matters.
