CRAZY SNAKE NOT CAUGHT.

In the Wouda.

Mountains. about six miles from

surrender. 1t was said. might be OK
pected at any time.
II was learned today that Crazy
Snakes inquiry as to protection
In case Of surrender was not
ofhcial. but was communicated In q
roundabout way. Monday night an
indian boy went to the home Of DR..
M. X. McInhenny. at Bursh Hill; six
miles from Pierce. The boy said the
old chief had suffered slight gum
shot wound In the calf OF his left leg
last Sunday. but was able to move.
The lad declared that the fugative
wished to surrender II DR.. McInhenny
would guarantee free treatment.
Then the messenger disappeared,
leaving the physician. an old resident
and friend Of the Creek leader, to
wonder how to reach the latter with
an answer. The inability OF Col,
Holman to find where to deliver his
assurance of safety has prevented the
surrender of Crazy Snake. Even
Crazy Snakes sister could not. OF
would not. indicate his whereabouts
Today was raw and wet. and the Sc
verities Of the weather are expected
to hasten the further scattering or
the surrender OF the Creeks. They
are not well clad. and have no pro-
vision store.
Col. Hoffman today authorized a
respected Creek Of Checotah. John

A HUMAN klNSHlP.
This Quality Apparent In All Dutch
Landscapes.


From the ST. Nicholas Magazine.
In almost all Dutch landscapes or
this period we find the evidence of the
artists attachment for the subject
which he paints. We feel he must love
the place he represents. There is
human ldnship between the scene and
himself. 1t is not as a separate thing
that he studies it, but as an insepara-
BILE part Of his own life and of the lives
of his fellows Hence he generally in
PRODUCES human figures into the land
scapes. Usually they are very small
but painted with minute care, and full
of character; sometimes motionless, at
other times moving slowly, or actively
busy, according to the nature of the
scene. They are, in fact, actors in the
scene, interpreting it's character. But
note this distinction: they are not, as
on the stage, the chief features, to
which the scenery is subordinate. Here
the scenery itself is the main thing,
and these figures are like few clear
spoken words, giving point to the
scene that is otherwise dumb show
Now, this is the reverse of the way
in which painters hitherto had used
landscape and figures in their pictures
The custom had been to consider the
figures the main thing and to treat the
landscape as d background. The latter
had had twofold purpose First Of
all, its lines and masses and colors

DEFENSE MADE OF
BUREAU REPORT
Statement Shows How EST
mate on Wheat Was Made
TOTAL FOR ALL FARMS
Estimate of 144,ooo,ooo Bushels on
Estimate of 144ooo,ooo Bushels on
Farms on March is Analysed
and Has Approval of Sec
rotary Wilson.

Washington, July 19-In answer to the
criticism made against the bureau of sta
tistics of the department of agriculture,
because of the alleged inaccuracy of its
report in March last. on the amount of
wheat on farms, a statement in defense
was issued today by the bureau.
The bureau estimated that there were
about 144,OOO, 900 bushels of wheat on the
farms on March l, 1909
This estimate was challenged as being
most too large. The statement is in
part as Follows:
In considering this question account
must be taken of the apparent supply
and distribution of wheat during the four
months from March l to July l. 1909 To
do this it is necessary to assume as ap-
proximately correct official and trade es-
Inmates which have been generally ac-
cepted without serious question and to
ascertain first, the average monthly do
nestle consumption Of wheat, exclusive
OF seed requirements; and. second, the
approximate total quantity of wheat in
all points in the United States on March
l. 1909.
Assuming that about 10000, 900 bushels
per month were consumed, exclusive of
seed the apparent supply and distribu-
ton of wheat during the four months
from March l to July l, 1903, was as
follows:
Domestic consumption, four months
estimated, 100000 bushels.
Spring wheat seed requirements esti-
mated, 100000 bushels.
exports, including -four, 100000
bushels.
Commercial stocks, July 1, 1909, in
Guiding flour, $500. 900 bushels.
Farm stocks, July l, 1909, estimated,
IL, 100000 bushels.
Total supply and distribution, four
months of quantity in United States on
March l, 1909 IA. 900 bushels.
'Of these 244,000,000 bushels about IA
100000 bushels are accounted for by an
accepted commercial statement of report
ed stocks In second hadns mills and ele-
vators) including the wheat equivalent
of flour on March l, 1909. The remainder,
100000 bushels, must have been on
farms, or In reported stocks in second
hands on the date named. The estimate
of wheat on farms on March / about
IA, 100000 bushels) would leave about 26,-
900. 600 bushels as the unreported amount
in second hands on that date. This Is
more than the amount estimated as hay-
ing been so held, such amount being ap-
proximated as 20 per cent of the total
quantity reported and unreported, then
In second hands, the reported stocks be-
ing regarded as embracing about 80 per
cent of the total. Twenty per cent of
the total stocks would have been about
100000 bushels unreported, which indi-
Gates that the quantity of wheat on farms
on March l, 1909, was more likely to have
been underestimated than overestimated
by the bureau of statistics
The statement which has the approval
of Secretary Wilson, says in conclusion
that the widely published attack on the
estimate was inspired solely by the desire
of spectators to gain personal financial
profits at the expense of the general
public.

TWO BIG RACES.
Lanigan Says It's Pennsylvania Year.
His Arguments.

H. w. Lanigan, in the st. Louis Times.
thus speaks of the big leagues races:
This looks like Pennsylvania year.
In the National League it is at least
even money the Pirates against the field.
In the American league the Athletics
are the natural betting favorites at this
stage of the route. They have come from
behind. Since starting on their great win
ming streak they have captured IT of their
last q games. On the season they have
1t on the Tigers eight games to three.
BY winning Sunday and the triumph
was the decisive one of to 1 the Ath-
letics climbed back to within two points
of Detroit.
A brief fortnight ago it was practically
foregone conclusion that Hustler Hughie
American league championship. Now it's
extremely doubtful. The Tigers are
game. They proved that in the windup
of the 1907 and 1908 races. Running sixth
in 1906 and finishing in the rear of the
Browns, too, they were called on to win
the 1907 championship on the road. The
Athletics were one. of their stiffest an
tagonists The White Sox were the third
team with a chance. 1t settled down
to a survival of the fittest and the Tigers
outhustled and outgamed their two rivals.
In the 1908 windup Detroit first shook
ST. Louis Then Cleveland was left be-
hind. Getaway day the Tigers had to
thrash the White Sox. The battle was
fought in Jonesboro. Donovan clearly
put White to rout; In fact, Walsh and
Smith were also waloped and it was De-
troit's flag.
Mack is in the same boat as Clarke Penn

three juveniles in his inner works and

He already owns 104 hits, being the first

that IL the playwright expects his work

A CHINESE POSTWAR.
Qualifications for Appointment and
Some Severe Tests.

From the London Globe.
1t is not only in France that postal en-
ployes are Disconnected with their lot,
for the Chinese postal workers are also
in a state Of ferment. They are strongly
protesting against the remuneration
which they receive and which they con-
slider little less than an insult when COM
pared with the difficulty of obtaining en-
ployment in the postal service of the
celestial empire. The training is arduous
and full Of peril. The men urge, and ap-
parently with reason, that as 1t is only
the bravest who adopt the calling of post
man. the emoluments should not be in
an inverse ratio to the difficulty of at
tainment.
A son of heaven wishing to enter the
postal service must, to begin with, give
evidence of courage. robustness, power
of endurance, ability to traverse great
distances over mountains and valleys,
through dangerous forests frequented by
wild beasts and robbeds. These danger
GUS journeys must be undertaken alone
and accomplished in a fixed time. After
this the would-be letter carrier is sent
into uncanny places which are considered
to be the abode of evil spirits.
When the Chinaman has satisfied the
authorities In regard to these matters, he
is appointed a letter carrier.
