Boston.-Romance In the life OF Ma

low studded with square front. stand

inclosed porch containing the main
entrance. affording glimpse up and
down the thoroughfare through an oval

Hawthorne In his writings referred
at considerable length to the cemetery

house. In fact. In the corner OF the
cemetery adjoining tho house are the
most ancient headstonss remaining In

Dirt Of course is very undesirable
since it affords an excellent harbor
for bacteria, insects and vermin. In
order to maintain a sanitary stable
such floors must be eliminated. Wood
en- floors are about as undesirable as
those made of dirt. but when care is
exerted may be SO constructed as TO
be fairly satisfactory.
Brick or concrete are the only
floors one can safely say are sanitary.

SUIT INVOLVES
MANY MILLIONS
KANSAS CITY MAN CLAIMS COAL
LAND ON OLD CHOCTAW
LEASE.

Muskogee. Okla, May PA suit
involving coal lands valued at $4,000.
000 located in Coal and Pontotoc
counties, has been filed in the federal
court here by Newton b. Childs of
Kansas City, against the NJ, X. & T,
railroad. Childs seeks TO recover POS
session of the land, and also $l,500,-
GOO which he claims as the value of
coal taken from the mines on the land
Childs claims a right to the land
under leases made nearly thirty years
ago with the Choctaw Indians. The
leases are near Coalgate and originally
were operated by W. b. Munson OF
Denison. Texas. The leases finally
passed into possession of the NJ, X.
& T. railroad which has operated
large mines there for years, getting
its supply of fuel. The bill of com
plant alleges that the Katy has taken
nearly $2,O0OOOO worth of coal from
these mines and that the present value
of the land is over $3,000,000. His suit
is for the purpose of ousting the ran
road company from possession, and
also to make it pay him for the coal
that has been taken out.
c. l.. Jackson, Oklahoma attorney
for the railroad states that Childs
claim is not valid, and if it We're it has
been outlawed long since by lapse of
time. The leases in question are
among the most valuable in the Choc-
taw nation.
