LAWTON, Okla. Nov 30-Quanah
Parker chief of the Comanches, stole
across the border at night and snug
gled the bones of his white mother,
Cynthia Ann Parker, from her grave
near Poynon Station, Tex. and
brought them to Cache. The half
breed Indian CHIEF, according to his
own admission, was accompanied By
G. w. Birdsong, Indian agent and tue
son-in-law of Parker. Much figuring
by old time Texans was necessary to
determine the SITUATION of the grave
The Texas officials refused to recog.
nize the authority of the Comanche
chief TO remove the body, and thus
the smuggling was resorted to.
Congress has appropriated $1,000
for monument to the memory of
Cynthia Ann Parker. 1t was to have
been erected in the Fosterville grave.
yard, near Peynon Station, Hender-
son County, Texas.
In 1886, Parker's Fort, which was
near the present town of Navasota,
was raided by the Comanche indians.
Among the captured were Benjamin
Parker and his daughter Cynthia,
then 8 years old. In 1860 this same
band of Comanches, under Peta No
coma. after whom the town of Nocona
is named. made the raid through Par
ker and adjoining counties, and were
pursued by troop of United States
Cavalry and a company of Texas
Rangers. In the fight Cynthia Ann
Parker were captured. she had grown
up in captivity and married the chief.

II Does Not Bear

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Dr. Freder-
lex A. Cook confesses in four articles
for Hampton's magazine, that he does
moi know whether he reached the
north pole or not.
HIe admits that his wanderings for
four months in the arctics affected
bis mind.
Cook says it is impossible for any
man to tell whether he reached the
pole or not, and writes the article
+ to prove that he was not a fakir.
He will return to New York on
December 22 to spend Christmas. He
writes that he has been travelling in
Europe, sometimes under his own
name. but was never recognized.
Cook says that had always looked
upon the discovery of the pole as an
achievement for his own personal
satisfaction, craze, a desire, great
or than anything else in his life.
When he thought he had found the
pole he was bewildered His narra-
tive Of the discovery is described as
a most remarkable piece of descrip-
tive writing.
One Of the remarkable facts of his
present story is the fact that skilled
newspaper men have been on his
trail and could not find him. He
never wore disguise and took no
pains to conceal his identity. Part
Of the time his wife and children
were with him. Most of the time dur
ing his exile he has been in London.
Only few had guessed, his identity,
although there has probably never
been man whose photograph was so
widely copied
When people told him that he look
Cd like DR.. Cook, he remarked YES,
have been told that before and
easily avoided suspicion. Since his
exile he says the desire has been
growing stronger and stronger to re-
turn to his country.

mental liar in history he begins his
story. He says tnat since beginning

Inc honor of having discovered the
north pole no longer means anything
TO him. He desires to show the peo-
pie OF the United States what oc-

ings in the arctics and the facts that
led to his actions on his return home.
Afiidavits accompany the story,
proving it to have been written by
Cook. DR.. Cooks health is reported
much better.

the Church what Philip III. did with

the Church. What Philip II. did with
a bloody hand. many another King did
more leniently, and that allegiance to
Rome which controlled the ill-fated
despot OF the Netherlands was the
guiding star OF Spanish diplomacy for
centuries. For the King to deny the
demands of the Vatican ind ito coolly
refuse request of the Pope was to
upset the traditions OF ages.
1t must be confessed, however, that
Spain has caught that spirit OF tolera-
ton which has been sweeping Europe
in the last half century as a part OF
the new intellectual Reformation.
Every other country OF Wcs-
tern Europe has swung into
line. and the gospel can be
preached in them without OPPOSE
ton. 1t matters not what may be the
creed. IL 1t be Christian. it has the
open or tacit approval of all the great
Powers save Russia. Alfonso has
mingled much with these men who
have hidden their subjects worship as
they will, and he has felt that what
they did for their countries. he should
do for Spain.
1t was inevitable and it was just.
True toleration is only realized when
the dominant Church gives to every
other body of believers the right to
worship as they will; and no liberation
is worthy of the name which is not
based upon this principle No Church
can prosper which does not bid others
God-speed, and no Nation can thrive
which does not allow its subjects to
think for themselves.

RIDING For A FAIL.

A distinguished alumnus of one OF
the colleges in this country has been
much in demand for commencement
orations. Last year he traipsed about
speaking where he received an invi-
tation and could get an audience, ana,
adopting one of the tricks or the trade,
prepared a very stirring eulogy of a
prominent public servant who has
been more conspicuously in the eyes OF
the world In Europe, Africa and Amer
lea than any other person of American
origin ever was. Last year this Gu
1ogy always brought down the house.
This year the speaker tried the same
trick, but without exciting the least
applause, and he now reads into his
experience the sign that the good
sense of the American people is re-
turning, that they have had their fill
OF" this person. land that from now on
his popularity will decline. That u.s.
he will experience the difference be-
tween 1T and 'eX.''' Probably 1t will
be another case of Jeffries HE
couldn't come back" At least, we
may all pray that the Almighty in His
wisdom will so order There is one
thing that can be said for the Ameri-
can people-when they get tired they
quit, and when they forget they for
get all over
princes and lords may flourish or
may fade
A breath can make them, as a breath
has made"
There is such a thing as a public
man who has had his day not knowing
when he has done his turn.

hish premium on Mrs Schafer's hon

questioned, but Mrs. Haupt was not
satisfied and appealed the case. 1t has
now been decided that Mrs. Schafer gets
no damages, because Mrs. Haupt said
nothing to the other members Of the
club except upon the request OF Mrs.
schafer.
This Is all very much like Pittsburs

the history OF the times. With all due

that 1t is sometimes foolish to dare and

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

The country has been set on fire by
the sensationalIsts of the press and
the pulpit. Millions of people read
about the fight at Reno and now mil
lions Of people are reading about
! the danger to the country in present
Ing to the people Photographic repre-
sensations Of the fight. We think that
the fight was degrading; but we are
more confident OF our own strength
than to believe that there is any dan
ger In the pictures of the fight. What
is worse, in fact, than the talk about
race differences on this account: II
the pictures should be suppressed in
the interest of peace, would 1t not be
more to the purpose IL the newspapers
should be forbidden to write about
them and the leaders of public sentl-
ment to speak about them with terror
In their tones?
Ihere Is not the least occasion for
the world excitement that is being SO
industriously worked up over this
event. The Hartford Courant thinks
that "the downfall of Jeffries under
the mighty thumps and punches of
Johnson has made the pugilistic career
vastly more attractive than ever to
every lazy but muscular young negro
parroom- haunter who thinks he knows
how to box" The New York Evening
Sun, which manages to keep it's head
IN times of great manufactured ex-
cltement, is of opinion that 1.-THE talk
about the bad effect of Johnson's VIC
tory seems to be largely nonsense. II
white man is willing to go into the
ring with negro. he and his friends
ought to be willing to take the conse
quences."
1t is seriously announced that the
Mayor of San Francisco will under no
circumstances permit the pictures TO
be displayed in that city; the CITY in
which the fight was originally to take
place and where it would have taken
place but for the interposition of the
Governor OF California. Here and
there out of this flood of fool,shness
there energies a community which is
taking philosophical view of the sit
uation. Mayor Cutchin. of Roanoke,
will not interfere with the exhibition
of the pictures, and Mayor Reyburn. OF
Philadelphia, is reported to have said
that there will be no interference with
the pictures in the City of Brotherly
Love- The excitement will die out in
a Few days. There is really nothing in
1t; but we are glad of it for one rea-
son-it is suppressing to a degree at
least the activities OF certain faunal
slugger. and there is cause for thanks
giving in that.
