THE SILLY SEASON.

The silly season comes each year
With joyousness complete.
When fancies throng from far and near
Their stories To repeat,
4 shower of frogs brings wonder great
As the report we see.
The tortoise on whose back the date
Is cared, 10, B. c"
Approaches. and the lissome snake
Who whistles laughs and sings
Unto the scribe who nature-fakes
An annual topic brings
The hen who lays the curious egg
That matches something queer
With double head or wooden leg
In confidence draws near
The anecdote from ancient lore
Is now redeemed to fame,
And trailed across the scene once more
Linked to some statesman's name.
While fashions fiction finds arrayed
With pert pictorial care
Some garments that were never made
For miss or ma'am TO wear
And much advice which would seem
rude
At other times than this
Is given us about our food,
And when and how to kiss.
Let naught disturb your peace - ofound
As strange ideas fit
The silly season comes around
Each year. And this is it.

THE CAT.
ParadoxicaI, Handsome, Naughty, Self

The nature of the cat is material

other animals domesticated il that

WOOD ALCOHOL.

The suggestion which has been made
that the word alcohol be abandoned as
descriptive of methyl. or wood alcohol,
and the term wood naphtha substituted,
is an excellent one and should by all
means he adopted. The objection to
the use of the term alcohol is that the
word has been so generally Identified
with ethyl. or grain alcohol in the pub
lie mind that To the average layman
it has no other significance. Chemi-
cally the term is generic. applying to
4 considerable class of organic COM
pounds. and includes such widely di-
verse substances as glycerin, on the
one hand. and cetyl alcohol the chief
constituent of spermaceti. on the other.

stated. the word alcohol simply means

WEALTH OF THE CHoCTAWS.
Rich Indians of Oklahoma With Ad-
vanced Ideas.

The Chocktaw is the richest Indian
in the world" said Y. Nj.
Locke, Jr.. governor of the Chocktow
nation in the Washington Post
There are approximately $4,000
Chocktows in oklahoma. 5000 Of
whom are full-blooded. 1t has been
estimated that every one Of the
Chocktaws is worth about $1,000
This is in cash and interest in the
lands owned in common by the In
dams Outside Of the land that has
been allotted to the members Of the
Chocktaw nation there are more thsn
a million acres of Ind in the public
domin owned by the Chocktaw In
dams. for which these Indians will
be paid tWhcn the land IS sod.
The Chocktaws are the most ad-
vanced Indians in this country. They
never have been vicious like some
other tribes and always have been in
the front rank of progress. But the
full blood Chocktaw is rapidly de-
creasing. 1t is only a question of
time, perhaps a quarter of century,
when there will be few if any left.
What is the reason for this? I
suppose ii is civilization. The fui
blood Indian cannot be restricted and
live long He is used to the woods,
the forest, the open life of the prai-
ries and when he is required to OBJ
serve the civilized laws of health, to
eat at a table with a cloth on ii and
partake Of food that has been unac-
customed to them he is bound to
pine and eventually die.
In the Chocktaw nation, as well
as among other civilized tribes. there
IS building up a high class citizen
ship with the indian as the basis.
In the last few years | have observed
that the Indian citizen of Oklahoma
more and more has been taking ad-
vantage of his franchise as n voter"

Dreaded Eye Disease In Clinton.

Clinton, Jan. 28.-Despite precau-
tions taken in Europe and by the
United States immigration bureaus,
foreigners afflicted with the most
dreaded eye disease, trachoma, have
come to this country and to Clinton
and are spreading the disease among
their companions and others SO SER
ious is the disease and the danger OF
contagion that all money received at
the Clinton postoffice, particularly
from foreigners, is considered tainted
and is religiously disinfected. Formal
dehyde is kept in all Of the money
drawers Of the Office and in this way
the disinfection is accomplished. In
some instances, the employees use dis
infectant on their hands, after handling
money paid them by foreigners. THE
disease was brought to Clinton" said
one prominent eye specialist, "by for
eigners who are now employed in rail-
road work. It is most prevalent among
the Greeks and Austrians and some
Italians. The disease, known as
trhacbma, is probably the cause Of
more cases of blindness than any other
eye disease"

SUES CANNING FACTORY.

most important OF the suits filed here

ing some thirty-five or forty feet from
the top of the husk elevator while at
tempting to repair the carrier of the
elevator. He was pulling the carrier
to the top Of the elevator, where he
was seated, by means of rope, which
it is now claimed was not strong
enough to bear the weight on the car
rier, and had been broken and in
securely tied together and that the
rope broke.
Mr.. Van Brussel claims that he
spent some $50 at the hospital in Of
tumwa for an operation, $35 for treat
nient by a local physician, and lost
months labor worth sos, and in addi-
ton has received a permanent injury
by losing the use of the right side OF
his face. He considers he has been
damaged in the full sum of $4,000,
which he is asking that the court al
low him from the Mt. Pleasant Can
ming company.
