Easy Lessons.

In England they are saving time
BY teaching history in rhyme.
And can they put IL over US
George Washington was first IN war.
That's how he made the British sore
One day he chopped a cherry tree
And shouted. Papa. II was me-"
Two times he occupied the chair,
And then he thought he'd had his share
He was his country's honored dad.
The very best II ever had.
We fought a round at Bunker Hff-
From that on IL was shoot TO kill.
From Bennington 10 Valley Forge
We met the forces OF King George
And took a licking now and then
And always gave one back again .
Until at Yorktown fell the blow,
And then the British had TO 20.
The Declaration. duly signed.
.jhowed to the world our state OF mind
1t was a brave and grand defy
And made the fourth day of July.
We read II when we celebrate
And find IL still has worth and weight
And we will never be ashamed
OF that grand document, far famed
That will be all for lesson one.
To learn 1t should be better fun
Than reading dry and musty dates
And names of provinces and states-

Mr.. Ballinger is just as much out
Of the service as they are, says the
Philadelphia Record. He went out by

letter from the president to soothe him

Cubans and the English Language.
The Cuban senate has passed q bin
to eliminate the study OF English from
the curriculum of Cuban schools.
It is too much to expect progress
siveness IN people Of Spanish blood.
Spain itself Is more ignorant than any
other country lin Europe, yet there Is
none more proud. Colonel Watterson.
who has met him in his own
home. says the average educated
Spaniard knows less about the affairs
of the outside fEvorld than the man CT
the same class in any other country"
The pride that excludes English from
the schools of Cuba is not consonant
with the gratitude Cuba owes the
United States for assisting in achrev
ing its ambition for independence.
Nor is it just to the Cuban OF the
future. who will lind himself handl-
capped by ignorance of English.
For all the people of Spanish blood.
English more and more is becom ing
the language Of the world. Spoken hy
20,520,000 persons in 1901 today 1t is
on the tongue Of more than 10000, 900
Spanish, spoken by 26,190, 900 in 1891,
today is spoken by less than 50,0Go,-
600. A century hence and English will
be almost exclusively the language of
commerce. The orient now is studying
it. India is becoming yersed in &.
The Philippines are embracing it, AMI
the countries of South America are
one by one taking 1t up.
The United States gave Cuba liberty
and free public schools, but it cannot
give the present generation brains or
wisdom.

0SAGES Will PROTEST
ON ANNUITY PAYMENTS
GETTING THE MONEY TAKES SO
LONG THAT INDIVIDUAL
COST Is $50.

Some of the fullblood members Of
the Osaee tribe. many of whom live
near Tulsa. are preparing a protest
in the shape of petition which is
being signed 10y very member of the
tribe near here against the annuity
payments being held at Pawhuska.
Some Of the payments TO the Osages
living in this section OF the state, they
say. cost them on an average of $50
each This was made necessary by
tho fact that over three weeks was
consumed In making the payment
Tho delay was caused by the money
not being placed TO the credit OF the
Iud.on agent SO that 1t could be
drawn upon. A suggestion Is also
bo.ng offered the secretary as to how
the future payments should be made,
some Of the heads Of the tribe are
of the opinion that the payments
should be made IN llominy: the Fair
fax Indians In Fairfax, and the Paw
huska Indians in pawhuska. This
would reduce the expense of the In
dian 'n securing his check as well as
make 1t possible for the officers to
enforce the law against pernicious
bootlcgging.

Of the high officials of the Salvation

assist in the dedication ceremonies
said Ensign Hickman. I'VE want TO
make it a big affair, and are deter
mined to have some of the most
prominent army workers in the coun-
try here, as well as every Salvation
Army captain and ensign in the state
and a number from Texas.
A few contributions of bed cloth
ing and furniture have been received

that even the hobble doesn't hobble as
