MILLER'S LETTER PROVES
RATHER DISAPPOINTING

James S. Davenport yesterday re-
ceived the following letter from Gulon
Miller, relative to the payment of the
eastern Cherokee money:
James S. Davenport, Esq,
Vinita, Okla.
Sir: Replying to your letter Of
March 22nd. 1910. you are advised
that have not yet definitely deter
mined the points at which payments
will be made to the Eastern Cherokees
In Oklahoma, 1t is my present ex-
pectation however to begin the pay
ments at Tahlequah. While l shall
endeavor to make payments at points
which will accommodate the mass of
the benetciaries as far as may be
practicable, it will be absolutely i'm.
possible for me to visit every point
where Cherokees are to be found, and
| will have to select places where the
accommodations will be such as tc
make the distribution convenient and
orderly. | am unable to say just when
the payment will be begun as | am
dependent upon the action of the
treasury department in this regard. j
hope, however, to be able to reach
Tahlequah about the first of June.
Very respectfully,
GUION MILLER,
Special Commissioner.

drouth last year. The report states
however that general conditions are
dry with rain needed at an early date
to maintain the present excellent
growing condition of all crops.
Most corn is planted in the southern
portion of the state. with much of II
up and doing nicely, while in other
sections corn planting is well under
way with the ground in excellent con-
dition.
The condition of alfalfa has been i'm
proved materially and is 93.S per cent
as compared to 90.4 last month and
79.4 April rs, last year. The condi-
tion of spring pastures is 90 per cent
and farm work stock 94.8 with a scar
city Of feed in some localities.
Almost every county reports 100 per
cent on its fruit crop damage by win
ter freezing being reported only in a
few counties. Much damage was
done to orchards and small fruit crops
by the protracted drouth Of last July
and August. The average condition on
the principal fruit crops ranges from
96.7 to 1872 per cent.
In conclusion the report states that
the present outlook is for a record
breaking production of all classes Of
farm products. and a very large in
crease in the amount of land put un.
der cultivation in the state.

AN oPTIMIST

l met cheerful man today.
And stopped to chat with him awhile
Why is it you are always gay,
l asked him, Have you never known
A disappointment, or woe,
And has no plan been OverthrOWn
That you had hoped would be go?'
Sure thing!" he said, I've had my
woes,
I've had two fortunes wiped away,
But I've no time to think of those
Affairs which happened yesterday.
I've had my plans go wrong, and l
Have pressed my lips to sorrow 8
cup,
But when I'm down, l never cry,
l spend my time in getting up
You see, the way l work is this.
If get licked today, all right,
And if my plans should go amiss,
/ l won't forget that | can fight,
Nor will l sit around and sob,
|, But I'll be up, at break of day,
Out hustling for another job,
And try to win some other way.
That's why you see me smiling now
l may get knocked down now and
then,
But you can wager, anyhow,
/ That will soon jump up again;
There Is no easy road to fame,
To win success is quite a chore,
Why, half the big men can name,
Have failed a dozen times or more.

ropAYs FARMER RELIGIoUsLY

Az long as the farmer kept his hands
to the plow and his eyes on the fur
row, he was rated as poor In purse
but as . fairly moral and religious
man. But with the attainment Of bet
ter conditions. with the coming of the
rural phone, free mail delivery. and.
last Of all, the auto, the farmer seems
to have dropped in the religious scale
until he now ranks with his impious
brother who dwells In the city. In
other words, according to Bishop
Berry Of Detroit, prosperity is max

"His business is vastly more pros

He devotes all his energies to his
work and tolls early and late. His
acres increase. and his bank account

of conditions in Michigan, but the

"MILEsToNEs" OF THE WAY

The Rev. ]. W. Welch, Chicago:
All of life is test, and the attitude
