The Real Reason.

A Scotch clergyman VINO had made
a particularly brilliant attempt las
he thought) in the preparation of a
certain sermon, felt highly elated on
the Sunday on which 1t was deliver
ed.
Walking home from church after
the service he encountered an old
woman who was one of his stanchest
parishioners. Slipping his arm
through hers, he asked:
" Aunty, how did you like my ser
mon today?" Expecting Of course.
to receive fine word of approval
from the devout old lady, who was
great admirer of the minister, he
was much chagrined when she re-
piled:
Good dominic, did not like it.
You did not like it, aunty Well,
what was the reason?
There are three reasons"
Three reasons! | declare! i pray
what was the first one:'
'T do not like sermons that are
read .
That was not disconcertiLS so
the minister pressed the old woman
for the second reason.
Well" she said, Il did not like
the way you read it,
Come now, aunty," continued the
minister, "That is not so bad. What
was the final reason?"
Well, dinna like &c tell you, good
dominic, but l thought it wasn't
worth reading. g."-Chicago Tribune,

OSAGES WILL APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT TAFT
INSISTING THAT NEW OIL LEASEI
BE APPROVED SANCTION RE.
FUSED BY SEC. OF INTERIOR.

Oklahoma City, Okla. July l3-Re-
fusal of the secretary of the interior to
approve the four oil and gas leases
authorized by the Usage National
Council are to be carried before Pres
hent Taft John Palmer member
of the Usage Indian tribe, VINO was
here yesterday from Pawhuska, says
the secretarys position is withou,
foundation, and that the Osages do
not propose to see the enterprise dis
missed by a single ruling of the de-
partment head. The council made
four leases, aggregating about 100000
acres, the terms being advantageous
toward development of the country
and would have insured the holding of
the natural gas within the county
Prospective renewal of the Foster
blanket lease covering $4,000 acres
of the Usage land and a proven field
has entered into the present situa-
tion to such an extent, Mr.. Palmer
Says, that the Indians have set their
minds that it shall not be extended
Greater Development Promised.
The lease expires in four years. The
new leases, he says, lie to the west of
the Foster lease and in an unproven
field, and the conditions of them
would have carried the oil and gas
development forward at greater rate
than the development of any other oil
section. In sixteen years, Mr.. Palm
er says, there have been drilled but
1900 wells on the Foster lease, and
those by sub-lessees, whereas, the
leases disapproved by the interior sec
retary contemplated many times more
development in the unproven field in
two years than is the record under
the Foster agreement
The sub-lessees are all against the
termination of the Foster lease" said
Mr., Palmer "and considerable is be-
ing said about the new ones as 'blan-
ket leases They only cover 100000
acres to the person or company, while
the Foster lease covers 6S0,000 acres,
and never a word do you hear about
it being a blanket affair. Another
salient feature of the new leases was
protection afforded the Indian sur
face land owner Under the Foster
lease there is none"
Bacon Rind Still Chief.
Bacon Rind recently elected chief
of the Osages as a progressive" in
the sense that he favored the new
leases, is still on the job according
to Mr.. Palmer, although the interior |
secretary disapproved his election and
set it aside. Rind received n1ore
than a majority of all the votes cast
in the election, and there were four
tickets in the field.
The secretary of the interior will
recognize Bacon Rind, whom we
elected or there will be no chief

for the Washington family and the
relatives or house guests who SO often
accompanied the distinguished Virgin
ian to church. In the vestry room of
the church may be seen the original
official record Of Washington's pur-
chase of his pew upon the completion
Of the church, which, by the way,

And, speaking of the vestry room,
1t may be of interest to explain that
George Washington was himself a
vestryman of Christ church. Indeed,
the young landed proprietor, then but
80 years of age, was among the first
vestrymen chosen when Fairfax par
ish, to which the town of Alexandria
belongs, was created about the year
1865. 1t was a couple Of years later
that the congregation decided to build
a church and the edifce was not fin
ished to the last detail until a few
years before the firing of "the shot
heard round the world" From that
day to this the exterior of the church
has undergone practically no altera-
ton. At one time some alterations
were made in the interior, but later
this was wisely decided to have been
a mistake and the church was re-
stored to the style of Colonial days.
Some of the original fittings, notably
the sounding board and the wine-glass
pulpit, had disappeared in the course
of the transition, but these were re-
placed by fac-similes of the originals.
Many Of the most interesting OBJ
jects in Christ church are the gen
uine originals which were here in
Washington's time. For instance,
there is the elaborate crystal chande-
lier of solid brass with it's twelve can
dlesticks typifying the twelve Apos-
ties. Nor, indeed, is this the only re-
minder Of the days when the church
was lighted by candles, for on the pill
lars one may yet detect under the
paint the marks of the finder boxes.
The chancel rail and mural tablets of
the Lords Prayer and the Apostles
Greed, which always arrest the at
tention Of visitors, are relics of the
days when George Washington was a
leading member Of the congregation,
and so likewise are the communion
table, reading desk and chairs. Aft.
er all, however, perhaps the most
curious of these mementoes of a by
gone age are the long-handled purses

One Must strive to Attain.

There are no hard and fast rules for
life in the New Testament. neither is
there any clear cut system OF theol-
ogy. Why? Because God wants to
develop our spiritual nature. and
neither of these things would have
promoted that end. We car only
grow spiritually by constantly striving
to get a clearer comprehension Of
truth and duty and striving to apply
the principles set before US In the
Bible In our own lives.
1t is more important to be study
ing truth and gaining ever clearer and
fuller light than 1t is to know truth;
for It is by study that the mind grows
and If a man could know all there is
to know there would not be any way
In which he could enlarge his mind.
So it is with all spiritual attain
ments. To be always gaining. always
growing. is the important matter.
Where a man actually stands in his
spiritual experience is lot nearly so
important as the direction in which
he is travelling. AS soon as a man
ceases to strive toward a higher level
of Christian living he begins to stag
nate spiritually; and stagnation Is
deterioration.
The Bible is full of problems. which
appear to many minds tc be difficult
ties in the way of faith; but which are
really stepping-stones to help us into
a larger and more robust faith.

BRANDT INQUIRY
Directs Justice Gerard to Hear
Convict's Clemency Plea.
GRAND JURY ALSO TO ACT
Whitman to Press Grand Jury Inquiry
Into Method of Conviction Whether
Former Schiff Servant is Pardon
ed, Freed or Remanded for Trial.

New York.-Folke Engle Brandt, the
former servant in the home of Morti-
mer L. Schiff, sentenced five years
ago to thirty years for burglary in the
first degree, whose application for
Executive clemency was denied, was
brought to New York on a writ of
habeas corpus.
He was taken before Justice Gerard,
in the Supreme Court, where decision
On his writ was reserved, and then
lodged in the Tombs, to remain under
the custody of the Supreme Court IN
til a decision is handed down.
Another feature of his case was TAX
en- up by Judge Rosalsky in General
Sessions. Judge Rosalsky, who i'm
posed the thirty-year sentence on
Brandt, granted a motion to set aside
Brandts former plea of guilty, but be-
cause of the previous action of Justice
Gerard the lawyers in the case believe
the action in General Sessions will not
have any effect.
Meanwhile, on the suggestion of At

tice Gerard a special commissioner to
hear Brandt's plea for Executive elem
ency which he denied at first, direct
ing Justice Gerard to report his find
ings to the Governor.
District Attorney Whitman stated
that apart entirely from any other
proceeding in behalf of, or in connec-
ton with, Brandt's case, he would pro-
coed with a grand jury investigation of
the entire matter. Investigation of
the files at Police Headquarters dis
closed evidence which will be present
ed to the grand jury in the shape of
letters written to Inspector McLaugh-
lin, at that time at the head of the De-
tective Bureau.

before Judge Rosalsky, read into the
record of the case a letter to him from

letter to his wife and that he, MI.

there was no mystery in the case, a
point which Mr.. Towns believes is Dr.
