A Willy Old Indian Chief.

The hope of ever capturing Crazy
Snake, leader of the full-blooded
Creek Indians, has been abandoned
by the State authorities of Oklahoma.
Following the campaign made by the
Oklahoma National Guard last spring
to capture him, it was reported by
close friends of Crazy Snake that he
desired to surrender, come to Guthrie
and hold a pow-wow with Governor
Haskell. To this the Governor and
National Guard officers agreed, offer
ing him military protection, but
weeks of waiting brought no Crazy
Snake.
Later Tilghman, pioneer deputy
marshal, Indian fighter and scout,
was commissioned by Haskell to hold
a pow-wow with Crazy Snake, If pos
sible, deliver to him a greeting from
the State government and guide him
to Guthrie, the invitation being writ
ten and signed by Haskell, speaking
as the head of one government to an
other, guaranteeing the States fullest
protection and paying Crazy Snake
the homage due his station.
The document, carried by Thigh
man, was highly emblazoned, be-
decked with goose quills, with figured
margins strung with vari-colored rib
bons, lavishly stamped with the great
seal of the State and with many gild-
ed stickers. Tilghman several weeks
ago delivered this document to Crazy
Snakes personal followers.
But the willy leader has not deigned
an acknowledgment, and, weary from
waiting, Tilghman has returned to
Guthrie. Evidently the old Indian
intends to take no chances.--Guthrie

delphia Record.

Mexico's Troubles.

"There is more trouble brewing in
Mexico than appears on the surface
and in the press dispatches, declared
Colonel Nelson Graham, of Dallas,
Tex, at the New Willard.
Il have been in Northern Mexico
several times during the last year.
and there is a great deal of unrest
and turbulence in that section of the
Republic-more than ever gets into
the papers. President Diaz has ruled
for so long that people are saying,
and have said for long time, espe-
cially in the northern part of the
country, that it is time for him to step
aside for a younger man. Then there
are a great many disappointed Office
seekers in the country who would
gladly welcome revolution, with the
hope that the turn of the wheel would
give them good, fat jobs. Others
hate Diaz for penalties he has in
fiicted on their friends, and there are
several thousand malcontents along
the Mexican border on the Texas line,
who dare not return to Mexico for
fear they will be imprisoned or exc
cuted. These people, especially, are
ready for any desperate revolutionary
venture to overthrow the Diaz admin
istration. Washington Post.

The Reub Abroad.

He was long, lean, lanky fellow
with complexion as brown as a
berry and an eye as blue as the sum-
mer skies. Any one looking at him
for the first time could hardly have
failed to guess that he came from that
section of the country where mothers
pies are as good, and therefore as
popular, as they ever were, and as he
entered the hotel and planked his
carpet bag on the counter the room
clerk winked at the fellows about the
Office, as much as to say, Watch me
dazzle the reub."
Good morning, sir" he said, po-
litely.
"Mornin'," said the farmer. "Got
a place where a feller can sleep
here?"
"Yes, guess so," said the clerk.
~Do you want room with BATH"
"Wa-al, l dunno" said the farmer.

all-fired dirty they need bath,

Americans Have Achieved.

declaration OF independence was pub
llshed To the world the democratic
idea has hourly received new impulse,
until now its march seems lrresisti.

on citizen soldlery to defend the

ssssossssseessocooo o ooosssess
!: Coal and Optimism. ;
osesesosesessssessessesees

Someone has defined the pessimist
as a man who, OF two evils, chooses
both, says a writer In Success Maga-
zine. If we are to believe the pessi-
mist, life on this planet Is not worth
living, and, anyway, the planet Is not
going to last. Soon the food of the
world will give out, and we shall all
starve, and the only hope that the
pessimist grants us Is that we shall
all freeze before that time, because of
the grasping Coal Trust and the ex-
haustion of the coal supply.
We do not take much stock in pes
simists and do not waste our time
in listening to them. We always find
that the inevitable evil never happens,
and somehow the human race does
not starve, freeze, or kill itself off,
but manages to get out Of more
scrapes than 1t ever ought to have
gotten into. And recently our opti-
mism has been wonderfully bolstered
up by report of the Geological Sur
vey.
That report tells us that there are
still two thousand billions of tons OF
unmined coal in the United States,
worth more, at seven cents n ton,
than all our National possessions;
enough, at our present rate of con-
sumption, to last five thousand years,
and great many years more. De-
cidedly, we shall not soon freeze.
The wonderful thing about this Is
the boundless, measureless generosity
of nature. She is like the fairy
godmother who gives whatever we
ask. Let us use up one of her gifts,
and we stumble upon another. When
the English exhausted their forests
a new fuel, coal, was discovered. The
coal had always been there; only the
knowledge of It and of its use was
new. When, finally, the coal bed Is
depleted, we shall doubtless draw our
heat and our power from the waves
OF the sea, from the sunlight, from
forces undreamed of, but which exist,
even now, before our unseeing eyes.
1t is not nature which is narrow and
cramped, but our own minds.

An English Racing Story.

To an owner of racehorses there
are few more expensive luXuries than
an unsound animal, and therefore the
recent disappointment of a certain
youthful noble lord who manfully
gave 1900 guineas for a bargain
which turned out to be woefully de-
jected in his understanding" can
readily be understood.
Let me see; you are the rascal
who sold me horse with only three
legs and a swinger," he said one day,

horses late owner in the paddock at
Kempton. Certainly replied the
late owner, gleefully, that is to say,
If you are really the idiot / sold him
