One we'll konwn lady of the town sent her check for s15O. A curious little story is told about the first set of children which came to the home early in July from New York. They objected to sleeping with the windows open in the dorm1- tory, and tried to close them When the matron insisted they must be kept open, the girls set up a bowling and professed to be freezingI Before they went back to town they composed and were singing the following verses:

 It seems the little girls do not likf bread and milk; they have not beer accustomed to it. They want strong coffee or very strong tea, or bette yet a mug of beer. But they hav' other good things to. eat at the hom besides bread and milk

WASHING AWAY.
Sandy Hook Is Being Carried
Into the Ocean.
Beach Line i'm Places Has Re-
ceded 800 Feet.

New York, March 30.-In the near
future work will begin on the greatest
jetties in the world. They will be con-
structed at Sandy Hook to check the
inroads of the sea which threaten ul-
timately to sweep the narrow penin-
sula away. Recent surveys have
shown that Sandy Hook is being wash
ed away at an alarming rate, each
storm carrying tons and tons OF earth
and sand into the ocean. The beach
line in some places has reached 500
feet or more.
Plans are now completed and con-
gress having provided $4,000 to start
the work, the government will soon
ask for bids to construct wooden jet
ties $500 feet in length. Nineteen in
all will be constructed.
One of the greatest troubles that
confronts the engineers is that of pro-
tecting the big ship targets on the
proving grounds. 1t has already been
necessary to move some of the tar
gets to another part of the peninsula
but with the protection planned it is
hoped to relieve the situation.

CRAZY SNAKE SHOT.
The Chief Has Been Wounded in the
Leg, He Says.

Muskogee, Okla, March 30.-A
special this afternoon to the Times
Democrat says that Crazy Snake has
sent a message to Commander Hoff-
man from the mountains saying that
he had been shot in the leg and Grip
pied, and was ready to give up. He
SAYS according to the dispatch, that
he will surrender to Sheriff Odom.
whose son was killed in Saturday
nights fight at the Indian chiefs
home.
Crazy Snake i'm the Right.
Muskogee, Okla, March 30.-No In
dians were involved in the original
trouble that resulted in the militia
being called out and Crazy Snake had
a right to defend his home from the
attack of irresponsible persons and
even officers not authorized to arrest
him, according to the finding of Spe-
cial Attorney Woodruff and Indian
Agent Kelsey after several hours in
vestigation at Henryetta today. This
report reached the Indian agency
here this afternoon. IT stated in ad-
dition that negro outlaws congregated
at Hickory Grounds We're the only
persons who started the trouble. and
that the intervention of the federal
government will be invoked for the
protection of the Indians, including
Crazy Snake. if necessary.

Sc0TT'S TARIFF VIEW.
Kansas Congressman Declares for
Free Lumber and Tea,

Washington. March 30.-In spanking
of the Payne bill in the house. Repre-
sentative Scott of Kansas, declared
that lumber ought to be put upon the
free list and contended that the duty
on hides ought to be restored, that the
duty on tea should be removed and
that an additional internal revenue tax
should be levied upon beer. He also
opposed the enactment of a federal law
taxing inheritances
Mr.. Scott argued that the rate of
duty on zinc ore carried in the
Payne bill taken in conjunction with
the duty on spelter would inevitably
close the Kansas smelter He contend
ed either the duty on ore should be re-
duced or the duty on spelter increased.
