Color Thi. Picture to Suit Yourself.

Tsunsdi came to see the wise medi- cine men, he told them that the only thing to do was to send some one up to the house of the daughter of the sun to kill the sun when she stopped there for dinner. And the wise medi- cine men said they would do that.
 For 8 long time, the wise medicine men talked about who would be best to send, and finally they decided that the copperhead snake and the spread ing-adder snake ought to go, for they would be sure to kill the sun if they bit her.
 So the copperhead and the spread ing-adder went and hid themselves just outside the door of the house of the daughter of the sun while the sun was inside eating dinner. But when the sun stepped out, she was so red and angry that the spreading-adder snake was blinded and all he could do was to swell up and spit out yellow slime just as he does to this day when he is stirred. And when the copperhead saw that the spreading-adder couldn't do anything, he ran away.
 Then the wise medicine men had to come together again and find another messenger to send up to the house of the daughter of the sun. This time it was the rattlesnake who went, and he coiled down right beside the door, with his eyes closed. And when he heard some one coming out. of the house he sprang like flash of light ming and struck. But it was the daughter of the sun who had come out. and so it was she who was killed. AS soon as he had struck, the rattlesnake came. back to man and said that he had done his work.
 At first, the people did not know that the rattlesnake had killed the daughter of the sun instead of the sun herself, and so the people all thanked the rattlesnake and said that they would never harm him. And so to this day men who know will not dis turb the rattlesnake. and the rattle snake does not bite man unless he is bothered.

ENGLISH VERSION OF GAME
Diagnosis Printed In the London Daily Sketch Intended for Those
 Wishing to Learn.

May we offer to those persons who do not understand baseball diagnosis of the game printed in the London Daily Sketch? It is meant for those who wish quickly to learn all about the pastime, without reading a guide. Here 1t Is:
 Scoring is by runs The batsman strikes ball thrown by the pitcher; and one run is gained when he has got the bases" (corners) and back home again. If the batsman misses three strikes (good deliveries) he is out, but if the pitcher throws four balls that are not good" the batsman is al- lowed to go to the first base Ca quar- ter way round).
 After hitting the ball the batsman must get to the first base before the ball is returned to the fielder there.
 Whatever bases he reaches he re- mains there till the next batsman makes chance of getting a run again.
 A batsman can get out by being caught, by stepping out of his ground when batting, and in many other ways.
 Though there are nine men on a side the inning is over when three are out.
 Each side generally plays nine in- nings.

MAINTENANCE OF THE ROADS
King Road Drag Is Proving Blessing to Rural District of West-lmpIe-
 ment Is Easily Made.

The immediate interest of rural dis tricts in the good roads question cen ters in the practical plans for making the roads as good as possible without the addition of imported material. This applies, especially, to prairie regions where there is no material for sur facing without the expense of shipping it in. With no material at hand, it will necessarily be long time before any, with the exception of the main trav- eled roads, can be treated. While the building of permanent roads should be carried on as fast as pos sible, anything that can be done to improve the condition of our roads will become a great blessing.
 The King road drag for maintaining dirt roads is proving a blessing to ru- ral districts of the West, with the addi- tion of drainage and the use of country graders. Thousands of miles of coun try roads in the central West will be maintained this year in splendid con. dition through the use of the King road drag, says the Iowa Homestead The drag is easily and cheaply made at a cost of not to exceed $2. A begin ming could be made by otr\ readers this spring by maintaining in first class condition the dirt roads adjoin ing their farms. Why not take the in itiative and start the movement al once?

EARLY DRAGGING OF ROADS
Not a LaborIous Job and Will Save Farmer Many Times Cost of
 Such Work During Year.

Nothing adds more immediate value to our farm land than accessibility to markets, such connecting link be- tween the farm and market being good road. The early dragging of our dirt roads is certainly to be com mended. Just as soon as the frost be- gins to come out of the ground, the farmer should commence dragging.
 This is not laborious job, a good team can put the road between him and the first crossing toward town, even if half mile away, in good con dttion in half day, and he will save many times the cost of such labor or expense during the year. Besides the additional value it adds to the farm, there is that personal pride that we all owe to every community, and especially to ourselves.

 He duplicated this play his third time up. Runners on first and second and again he bunted, with the same result, wild throw from the pitcher and two more runs.
 In the clubhouse after the game Huggins said to Kelley: T don't know if you favor that kind of base ball, MT. Kelley, and if you don't just tell me what to do. I want to learn, you know"
 Say, kid" responded Kelley, keep that stuff up, and they can bring me eight other fellows just as small as you" And from then on Higgins was the regular second sacker until traded to the Cardinals.

HOW HUeGINs WON HIS JOB
scrappy Little Manager of St. Louis Cardinals Made Good With Joe
 Kelley By Bunting.

Miller Huggins, the scrappy little manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, well remembers the first game he played in the National league. It was back in 1902 with the Cincinnati Reds, when Joe Kelley was the man. ager. Hug called upon President Hermann, signed his contract and then was introduced to Joe Kelley.
 There was scorn from Kelley, who informed Hermann that Huggins was entirely too small to ever make good in the big league. And Hug had to sit on the bench until he got his open ing to break in. Tom Daily then was the Reds second sacker, and he in- jured his leg one day. So Hug was elected to play second the next day.
 The first time up runners were on second and third when Higgins lined the ball down the left-ield line for two sacks. scoring the two runs. Next time up one was on first and

If there Is anything the adult world would hold unchangeable. it is the charming hodge-podge of good and bad that makes up boy nature. Yet there was meeting recently in Washington body which asserts that the boy character is being reformed. The Ma tional Council of Boy Scouts, having enlisted 300,000 youngsters. under 1000 masters, credits itself with all but a revolution. Once, as Jacob Rfis put it, the boy was an unmistakable admixture of heathen and good citi- zen, the heathen normally a little up permost. Now that he is scout. he is friendly, courteous. kind, obedi- ent, cheerful, thrifty and brave; these are the scout laws, and he obeys them not only because he has promised, but because he wants to-" The bureau of education is even asked to recom- mend the Boy Scout movement to all educational authorities. Much as is knowledge, physical training and so on. more is made of the fact that every scout is expected to perform kind act every morning of his life," that scores of people write in monthly tell ing of the good turns the scouts do them, that cities which once feared the small boy now expect him to as- sist the aged across the street. and bell the town cats against the birds, while good manners and thoughtful ness have made him invaluable at events like the inauguration and Get tysburg celebration.

 Long time ago, when the sun was hot overhead, the old men would call to the little boys to come into the shade and stop playing for time.
 "The old lady Sun is stopping at the house of her daughter for dinner" they would say, land you better wait till she Is on her way toward the cool land in the West before you go out again"
 And the boys would come into the house and beg the old man who had called them in to tell about the time the rattlesnake was sent up to kill the sun, but only succeeded in killing the suns daughter. This is the way it was:
 In that time the sun had no home at all, but had to keep travelling up the sky from the east and down the sky in the west and under the earth while it was dark day after day and day after day.
 But the daughter of the sun had a nice house right up in the middle of the sky, and every day the sun would stop there for dinner. And every day the sun and the suns daughter would have dispute about how the people on the earth looked. The sun said that the people were ugly, for they screwed up their faces when they looked up at her; but the suns daughter said that the people were smiling and handsome, for she never went out of her house until the sun was down past the edge of the west, and then the people could look at her without squinting their eyes.
 And the sun would get angry and shine down on the earth so hot that the people would swelter, and many of them became sick. That pleased the sun, but it did not please the suns daughter, who was friendly with man. So the suns daughter sent a message saying that the little people of the woods (the Yunwi TsunsdD would tell man how to stop the heat sickness.

BALL PLAYERS STATUES.

Immortalization of modern sports to replace the time-worn Greek discus thrower and Olym- plan champion of centuries past is the object of Miss Anna Pfen- niger, Cleveland sculptress, who recently put the finishing touches on a marble bust of Johnny Kilbane, champion feath- er-weight pugilist. She will seek to have the statue exhibited at the Panama exposition.
 In the meantime she will ux- tend her efforts to a series of baseball statues showing Home Run" Baker, ny" Cobb, Walter Johnson and other diamond stars who she believes should have niche in the sculptural halls of the country. She also desires to model Jim Thorpe, the Carlisle Indian, who is one of the best all-round athletes ever developed
 Why keep on copying the heroes of an ancient athletic history when there. are more interesting subjects in the mod ern field of sport?" said Miss Pfenniger. Athletes, ball play CTS, prize fighters, living men of today, are more appreciated as models for sculpture by the general run of people than the so-called classic subjects"

TAX DECISION
ON INDIAN LANDS
BY JUDGE RAlNEY OF BRYAN
COUNTY DISTRICT COURT IN
CLOVER CASE.

Durant Okla, Feb. l4.-Late yes
terday district Judge Robert Rainey,
presiding over the special term of
the Bryan county district court hand
ed down his opinion in the case of
Walter F. Clover, Choctaw tribes
man, who had entered suit against
the county commissioners for the
recovery of money paid on
taxes prior to the time the
United States supreme court held
that Indian lands were non taxable.
The following is in part the hold
ings of Judge Rainey:
Taxes paid on Indian lands by the
original allottee may be recovered
where the payment is made under
protest, bul can not be recovered
where the payment was not made
under protest Authorities hold that
a recovery cannot he had for an il
legal tax paid where the payment
was paid voluntarily, that is, made
under protest A person may re-
cover illegal tax where il was made
inyoluntarily, that is, forced paymen.,
or one made under protest. The
statute of limitation is an effectua
bar where it has run. This means
;hat those who enter suit can only
recover for such payments as have
been made within two years prior
20 bringing suit
This case had been looked forward
to with interest by people all over
the eastern part of the state as this
IS where the land is located
As this is the first case of i'm
portance to be tried in the courts.
According to the opinion of Judge
Rainey. the counties of eastern Ok
lahoma will be very little affected,
Tor in talking with some OF the coun-
ty officials it was learned that very
little of the tax money was paid un-
all over the eastern portion OF the
state, and the higher courts sus-
tain Judge Rainey's decision, it will
have very little effect upon the coun-
ties in this section of the state. None
will suffer any inconvenience as a
consequence of paying back taxes al
ready paid in.
