ONLY GOT BACK HIS OWN.
Umbrella Had Long Been Absent from
Its Proper Hall Tree.

"Stories about umbrellas said a
New York physician, when that useful
article was the subject Of discussion,
ARE as numerous as fish stories, and
often test just as severely the
credulity Of those who listen to them.
This is true one: A patient tele-
phoned an hour after he had been at
my office one morning that he had left
his umbrella on the hall rack; would
see that 1t was kept for him? My
servant found it, and that evening
while we were at dinner he called, got
the umbrella mad came in to thank me.
There he told long story as to how
he valued the umbrella because he had
carried 1t long time, and it was just
the right weight and showed a dent
In the silver handle which had been
made by his little boy when he used it
as a hockey stick saw my wife
smile while the story was being told.
She understood my wink, however,
and we said nothing. But when the
man had gone away with the umbrella
under his arm we laughed, for we had
recognized the umbrella which / had
carried out and never brought back
more than three years ago"

MORE FRAUD UNEARTHED.

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. 9.-Alleged
timber frauds and thefts of gigantic
proportions are said to have been un-
earthed by the government timber in.
spectors In southeast Oklahoma, and
are under investigation by the federal
grand jury, which convened here yes.
terday after four days recess. There
are about fifty witnesses who will tes.
tify and twelve OF them were exam
ined yesterday. They were from the
vicinity of Talihina and Grant, in the
Choctaw nation. Relative to the al.
legged frauds, the government officials
remain reticient, but from other
sources 1t is learned that several large
timber companies are said to have
been cutting fine hardwood timber
on Indian lands for years Much pine
timber Is also said to have been used
In number Of instances the United
States Indian agents have been COM
PEELED to eject persons from the tim
Der lands. The foreman from one of
the saw mills near Talihina was one
of the witnesses yesterday, but 1t is
not known whether or not his con-
Germ is involved.

Mot Afraid of a Ghost.

In a village in England, month or
so ago, man came running into an
inn at nine o'clock at night and cried
out that there was a ghost In his back
yard. There were IA men in the inn,
and not one Of them dared to go home
with the man and investigate. There
was a person who dared, however, and
that was the landlords daughter, girl
Of IA. Some of the men followed her
at a distance, and she went into the
yard and up to the ghost tapping its
arms about, and discovered-what?
That 1t was no more nor less than a
mans white shirt Tapping on the
clothes line in a strong breeze. That's
about the way all ghosts turn out.

SENATE pEEERs ACTION.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 9.-Only five
senators favored agitation of the anti
Japanese question when the matter
was called up yesterday by Senator
Marc Anthony of San Francisco. The
senate decided by vote of 25 to
to defer until next Thursday its &C
tion on the report of the committee on
executive communications, advises
against legislation aimed at the Jap
anese.
Senator J. B. Sanford introduced a
joint resolution asking congress to in.

PERKINS DENIES
CHARGE OF TEDDY
DID NOT STIR UP SENTIMENT
AGAINST HIS EFFORTS.
Had Not Been Consulted Regarding
California LegisIation--He Did Op-
pose Presidents Four Battle
ship Programme.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Under the
guise of considering the nomination of
DR.. W. d. Crum, negro collector of.cus-
toms at Charleston, s. c., reappointed
by President Roosevelt, the senate In
executive session yesterday discussed
the Japanese question. Incidentally
the discussion turned upon the refer
ence to Senator Perkins by President
Roosevelt in a telegram to Governor
Gillett of California in which he said
that the senior California senator had
hampered the administration in its
efforts to build up the navy, yet now
advises a policy of wanton insult"
Senator Tillman, colleague of Sena-
tor Perkins on the naval affairs COM
mittee, referred to the statement and
indignation was shown by other SEN
ators because of the attack upon Mr..
Perkins.
Both California senators took part
in the discussion Senator Perkins de-
clared he had not been asked by the
president to participate in the con-
ference concerning the Japanese sit
uation in California. He said he could
not understand why the president
should intimate that he had tried to
stir up sentiment in California in op-
position to the efforts of the president
He stated what his position had been
on the subject Of a big navy, declar-
ing that he always had been in favor
of steady growth of the navy, even
though he was against the presidents
four battleship program last session.
Flint Supports Perkins.
Senator Flint declared he had not
participated in the conferences at the
White House until he was asked to
serve as the Intermediary between the
administration and the California leg
islature. He made II clear that he did
not approve of the criticism OF his col
league.
While it is becoming apparent Col
lector Crum cannot be confirmed at
the present session, it is also. evident
that the case Is being used az "buf-
fer for legislation which the leaders
do not intend shall be passed. Sena'
tors Tillman, Frazier and Gary made
extended speeches yesterday on the
race question in the south.
Mr.. Gary talked of the Crum case in
particular and against the policy of
placing negroes in important positions
where 1t is necessary for white peo
pie to come in contact with them, and
especially in cases where practically
all of the business of an office is trans
acted by white people.

CHILD HAD SIXTY BOILS,
And Suffered Annually with a Red
Scald.Like Humor on Her Head.
Troubles Cured by cuticura.

when my little Vivian was about
six months old her head broke out in
boils. She had about sixty in all and
I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment which cured her entirely.
Some time later humor broke oct be-
hind her ears and spread up on to
her head until 1t was nearly half Gov
cred. The humor looked like scald,
very red with a sticky, clear fluid COM
ing from 1t. This occurred every
spring. l always used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment which never failed to
heal 1t up. The last time it broke
out 1t became so bad that l was dis
couraged. But / continued the use of
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resell
vent until she was well and has never
been troubled in the last two years.

The Tactful Suitor.

A youth In Trenton, whose devotion
to the young woman of his choice has
encountered many obstacles during
his long courtship, recently sought
her out with this apparently encourag-
ing statement:
II think it's all right now, Alice. l
managed to get access to your father
the other day, and while he wouldn't
exactly give his consent l rather
imagine I've made some Roadway. He
borrowed $40 of me. Surely be can't
stand me off much longer after that"
The young woman sighed. yes,
I've heard about It," she said, land l
think you've made an awful mess Of
It. Father mentioned the $40 and re-
marked that I'd better give you up

NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Relief.


Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
worn out nerves, but proper food is
required.
There is certain element in the
cereals, wheat, barley, etc. which Is
grown there by nature for food to brain
and nerve tissue. This is the phos-
plate Of potash, of which Grape-Nuts
food contains large proportion.
In making this food all the food ele-
ments in the two cereals, wheat and
barley, are retained. That Is why so
many heretofore nervous and run down
people find in Grape-Nuts true nerve
and brain food.
Il can say that Grape-Nuts food has
done much for me as nerve renew

"A few years ago, before my mar
riage. / was bookkeeper in large

Mother purchased some Grape-Nuts
and we found 1t not only delicious but
/ noticed from day to day that ! was
improving until finally realized was
not nervous any more.
Il have recommended It to friends
as a brain and nerve food, never hav.

THEY KNEW HOW TO WORK
BUT DON'T NEED TO WORK NOW
so HARD.

The experience of the Bisser Bros.
in Western Canada Is similar to that
reported to every agent of the Cana
dian Government, whose advertise.
ment appears elsewhere:
"Wheatwyn, Sask., Nov. 9Th, 1908.
ITO the Commissioner of Immigra-
ton, Winnipeg, Manitoba.-Dear Sir:
], in company with my brother and
other relations, arrived in this coun-
try in the spring of 1893. At the time
we got off the train at Wolseley, Sask.,
we had only few dollars, not enough
to start farming on our own account,
SO we were compelled to work out for
considerable time In order to make
sufficient money to enable us to es-
tablish ourselves. When we thought
we had enough money to start with, /
and my brother took up one quarter
section (160 acres) land each in the
Loon Creek district. In 1900 we moved
on our homesteads with one team Of
horses and one walking pillow. While
/ was engaged with the work in the
field, my brother built shack and
barn of logs, which we have hauled
during the time we were not able to
work in the field. We were certainly
working very hard, but l am glad to
say that we made our fortune in this
country. To-day we do not need to
work so hard as we used to, as we
have three men hired steady for
whom we pay $4,000 to $4,000 month,
besides board and lodging during the
summer time! am also glad to tell
you that to-day we are owners Of
section and three-quarters of the best
land, with first class buildings thereon,
besides having all the necessary ma
chinery. We always do our own
threshing, for we have a % horse
power threshing outfit
"Our success in farming In this
country also enabled us to get rid of
number of horses Of less value, and
instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares,
representing a value in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
Regarding raising grain, which is
the main factor in our district, I am
proud to say that we have always
had good success. We have raised
wheat as high as IS bushels to the
acre; and this year, although we suf-
fered from lack Of sufficient rain, our
wheat went 27 bushels to the acre,
and we had 900 acres in crop. We
have broken this year about 100 acres
new land, and by next year we will
have about LILO acres in crop. For
one carload Of wheat which we have
shipped a few weeks ago we got a
price Of 81 cents per bushel, and it
graded as No. 2 Northern, although we
have a quantity of wheat which will
surely go as No. 1 Northern. During
the six years we have been farming
for ourselves we have never had one
frost around here, SO that we always
had a good crop.
Il, for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West is the land where
a person who is willing to work and
trun his hands to anything, can make
a fortune, and a comfortable living.
Our country is a thoroughly free coun-
try, and we have a good Government;
and, as long as we have good crops,
and good Government, we are salts
fed, and l think that 10 all we want.
Yours very truly,
