ADA, Okla, Feb. 21.- (SpccialD- -
Tn, Seminole negroes have borne an
uueuviahle reputation for many gener-
atious for criminality, and, too often,
the entire race has suffered ior the
acts of that band of outlaws, brought
to the southwest by the government
when the Seminole Indians were re-
movd from their Florida homes to
oklahoma. That reputation, in a
large measure, is justified, not alone
by the acts which have characterized
their lives for over century, but by
tho laws cf hercdlty.
The history Of the progenitors of
the Seminole negroes has no counter
part in American history. The greed
for gold, which smuggld them on to
the fertile soil Of Florida, is one OF
the unwritten chapters Of the year
1908.
In the very early years of the nine
toenth century slave boat landed ON
the western shores of Africa from the
United States. They were there to
sec urc able-bodied negroes for service
in this country and secured a large
number, nearly all OF whom were
captured from the cannabilistic clans
that infested the western African
coast While this expedition was abb

slave trade after January !, lSOS.

Seeing Contemporaries as They Are.
After all, the test Of a vacation is
the renewed zest with which we take
up our work on our return. The per-
son who lives among his contempor-
aries all the time has no idea what in
teresting people they are. They ap-
pear even romantic when one returns
to them from a short trip abroad
There is moment before we begin
again to do things, when we have
leisure to see things.
or course, we must take up our re-
probabilities again. Our serious bush
ness with our contemporaries is to
improve their conditions, their morals
and their manners. We do not have
too much time for this work. But be-
fore we begin again the attempt to
make them what they ought to be. we
may enjoy the moment when we have
enough freshness of vision to see them
as they are.--Atlantic Monthly.

REALLY GOOD MUSICAL PUNS
II Such Play Upon Words Ever Is Per-
MISSILE, These Two May Be
Pardoned.

1t is said that respectable trades
man of the name Of G.. Sharp was as
tonished one morning TO find that
some musical wag had added to his
name the words ''is a fat" which,
however correct in a musical sense,
was certainly far from complimentary
to the worthy tradesman.
There is another instance in which
a capital musical pun was perpetrated,
equally correct in a technical sense,
and equally uncomplimentary to the
person at whose expense it was made.
Two gentlemen were passing the shop
of music seller in the southeast dis
trict of the metropolis, and the pro-
prietor was standing outside the door.
As they did SO, one of them pointed
In the direction of the shop, and re.
marked:
THAT liar is always outside!"
The unoffending tradesman heard
the remark, and wonderful to relate,
seemed immensely tickled at the OBJ
servation. The secret of it was that
he thought the remark had reference
to his sigma golden lyre-over the
shop-front.-London Tit-Bits.

KILLING TIME ON fHE TRAIN
EpglIshman Describes What One
Might Call the Game Of "TraV-

A new way of passing the time on

writer in the Manchester Guardian,
who modestly adds that he does not
think the game "as silly as putting
jig-saw puzzles together"

slide into a cutting, when we run
through a station, and what station it
is (this mainly by the sound of the
adjacent bridge that we run under or

although there are points of resem-

Tunnels in limestone, adds our cor

gradients slacken the pace of train,

only call it's football noise, and when
we come to the top of an incline, it
seems as II the train gave a kick as

changes into easy gliding and swifter
speed on the level. On my homeward
journey our driver generally sllckens

yards of deep cutting, we run under
a wide and shallow bridge just before

GUESTS ENJOYED A NOVELTY
Presence Of Monkeys at Formal Din
ner by Mrs. Longworth Made
a Decided "Hlt."

It happened that Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, the daughter of former
President Roosevelt, and wife of the
distinguished Ohio representative,
had presented to her among many
hundred other gifts, two little mon
keys, who lost no time in sustaining
their reputation for mischievous an
tics, and kept the Longworth house
hold in a panic as to what was going
to happen next.
They were too nimble and quick
to be punished for the evir Of their
ways, and so, week in and week out
the monkeys had a lovely time OF 1t.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth enter
tanned, the little creatures were shut
up behind lock and key, and usually
wore themselves out in their effort to
break through, and went to sleep In
consequence, from sheer exhaustion.
This had always insured the sue
cess Of a party, without any disturb
ing Interruptions, until one Hateful
night when Mrs. Longworth looked
up to discover a monkey grinning at
her from the top OF picture. 1t was
only second until the other one
climbed up the corner of the cloth,
and snatched few nuts from some
OF the panic-stricken guests. His
partner in crime leaped from the pic
ture and perched himself upon the
shoulder of a guest, and the details
of what followed are not laid down
in the directions given to polite So
