An ImpoIite Remark Which Cost sI,-
 NO0.OOO.

In his highly diverting articles on "The Light Side of Finance" Harry Furniss relates in this months strand Magazine the following story which is better than any sermon on the fool ishness of being impolite.
 A very rich member of the aristoc- racy without heirs or relatives of any kind. had taken a fancy to an ac- auaintance. and In time accepted him as guide, philosopher and friend. He eventually made a will leaving his aequaintance his entire property. The knowledge of this bred familiarity. and the lucky one unwisely took advantage of it-a fact possibly unnoticed by his decrepit, old. would-be benefactor. However, one day while driving over the estates. the old nobleman turned to his adopted heir and pointing 10 some sheep asked to whom they be- longed.
 well, you must be an old fool not to know your own sheep" was the reply
 That one remark lost the speaker a million and a half of money. The "old fool" brooded over the remark, called in his lawyer, left half his fortune to charity, and divided the rest between the servants, leaving the man who called him an "old fool' the exact sum he had in his previous will left his man-servant

revenue. The pension roll is what 1t Is, not that a Republican Congress cared a rap for the old soldier: but to deplete the treasury in order to main- tain high duties. If there had been no tariff grating to subsefve the pension roll would have justified the predic- ton of that free-trade Republican would never be above $30,o0o. 900. It is now over $160,000.000. r.4
 The Republicans find themselves in a fix that they have not experienced since the big war of 1s61-66. They are required to attempt two things aeao, get more than s1oo, 1000, ,ooo additional at the custom house ahd preserve the protection graft too. It would De easy to get $200, 100000 more at the custom house, if they will only abandon the robbery of protection.

 reduce the tariff taxes 50 per cent; but then the trust spawn of the tarlft
 would have to work for living like honest folk.
 The executive power under Roose- welt. grew to be such frightful des-l potism that Congress acknowledges Taft it's master. just as 1t did the man he succeeded, and it is almost pathetic
 to see the standpatters going about like chickens with their heads pecked
 after the President had ordered them l to make-a tariff primarily for reNen nue. Indeed there is pretty little differ ence between the tariff preachments of President Taft and the tariff plank of the Bryan platform of 1sD6 that was | made for old man Teller to stand on: l by leaving out the tremendous word

THE FIGHTING CREEKS.

The Creek Indians were ever fght-c ing people They are only repeating in oklahoma part of the history they made in Alabama.
 For 1t is to be remembered that the Creeks were carried from Middle Ala bama to the Indian Territory, at the end of the last Indian war in 1886. The name of the chief Chitto Harjo. has a familiar ring to any one with q knowledge of the Creek language and nomenclature. The men who are mak- ing the trouble at Henriette, Okla. are descendants of the Creek Indians who were moved from Alabama after the final treaty in Alabama with them. It would doubtless be shown by an ex- animation of the tribal records that the old Indian families of Alabama, who took part in the war of 1873 and the less bloody struggle of 1886 have representatives in the band of Indians and blacks which have called out the Oklahoma troops. Many of the Creeks in Oklahoma have blood relatives llv- ing along Little River. the dividing line between Baldwin and Monroe coun- ties. There have been during all these years a steady correspondence between the Western Creeks and their rels- lives in Alabama.
 The Creeks were given their tribal name in Alabama. They we're orig finally the Muscogees, a Western tribe who came to Alabama and drove out the weaker and less warlike Indians which inhabited this section of the South. They came originally from what is now Texas. in the Red River coun- try. They were driven east by. to them. . strange enemy. which. 1t has been contended and possibly truly, was Cortez, who conquered Mexico and Is said to have sent q detachment of Span fish soldiers to overcome the Indians to the North. But beyond doubt they came from over the Mississippi and settled in what is now Alabama and a part of Georgia. after they had driven out the tlmid Indians who had pre- viously held the country.
 The tribal name of Muscoges became the Creeks because the earliest white pioneers found them living in the well watered section of Middle Alabama So thick with creeks and rivers. Tho Creeks were fighters from the first. The Cherokees and the Choctaws might l give up their lands without a struggle. but the Creeks never. They met the white man in friendliness and in good faith. but when they discerned his in. evitable acquisition of their lands. there was always a fight. And like Fuzzy wuzzy. the Creek Indian was "s first class fighting man.
 The Creeks were responsible for the massacre of Fort Mims at which more

Worlds Work for March.
 The individuals duty is to keep him. self well-that Is to say, in condition for performing his part of the work of the world. He must come to look upon his physical organism as e tool, and to realize that upon the state of this tool depends the quantity and the with hand or brain. As a social asset and it is in this respect that we arc now considering him--a man is valu- able precisely in proportion to the quantity and the quality of the work that he can do. Therefore, as a part of the social organism. 1t is a mans duty to keep himself in the highest possible state of working efficiency.
 How to do this. Professor Fisher in- dioates in two words. Avoid poisons''
 -poisoned air. poisoned water. poison emotions, and just plain poisons like alcohol tobacco and drugs. Breathe deeply of pure air. eat abstemiously of foods demanded by appetite. Exercise for the delight of physical expression not to win a game or because you think you ought to-and exercise the intellect and the emotions as well as the muscles. Wear as few clothes as possible. and these of porous materials, so disposed as not to weigh heaHsy upon, constrict, or destroy the balance of the body.

 The man who does these things will not only be making his country great CT and richer, but also will be laying up a great treasure for himself and his descendants forever.

Mir Carnegie has been showing up the folly Of nations trying to outdo each other in building big warships He lays the burden. as The Pittsburg Post says, lon Great Britain for set- ting the style in wsrships and thus rendering useless what had hitherto been an efficient navy. Before the Dreadnought policy was adopted. Eng lands navy was five times as powerful as that of, Germany. By strainins at every point and expending millions of dollars, she Is now enabled to keep her naval equipment a little more than twice the strength of Gsrmany's. The fntility of attempting to conserve world peace through competition maifi- tained at such ruinous cost is only too obvious. Construction of these im- mense engines of war must come to an end or swamp the competitors in their own foolishness."
