generously covered with a layer Of but
ter which was surmounted by a young
mountain of jam.
MY boy" he said, sadly. but severe
ly, surely you do not realize what you
are doing: yet you ought by now to
comprehend the wicked extravaganza Of
eating butter and jam together"
WHY, I'm being most economical,
father" replied the young hopeful.

same slice of bread do for bOth"'-

Loud peals the bell for Liberty,
Her symbols iR my hands you see;
In everything we now are free
Save Clothes!
We listen for the knell of modes
The while we read the fervent odes
To freedom from traditions codes
In clothes!
But when it comes to dress, ah, me!
1t seems we never shall be free,
For we're not bellies of liberty
In clothes!

Il state where he was staggering
visibly under the blows and jars
of too much rum to the brain. He was
seeing double.
The dignified gentleman who entered
the bar every evening at a certain hour
with his hat on at a certain angle, and
with his heels striking the floor at a
certain velocity, walked up slowly and
asked for his customary glass of beer.
The bartender, with elaborate care, pre-
pared two glasses and set them down
in front of the sober and unshaken Gus
toner.
II ordered one glass of beer" said
the patron, in a smooth manner. why.
in the name of suffering heaven, give
me two?"
WELL" said the bartender, lurching
forward to emphasize his curiosity,

URGES INDIANS TO RAISE STOCK
Purchase of Cattle for Red Men Is
Contemplated

Washington, Feb. 4.-ln the belief
that a real opportunity would be
opened for the red man to aid in pro
ducing enough beef to supply a de-
mand which now far exceeds produc-
ton, Secretary Lane today announced
that the Indians on the Fort Hall re.
seryation in Idaho are to be encour-
aged in raising more live stock, es-
pecially cattle. To that end the Sec
retary has recommended to President
Wilson that 100000 of the available
balance of $4,000 in the treasury to
the credit of the Fort Hall Indians be
expended in the purchase of bulls,
COWS and heifers and horses Of an i'm
proved type.
The Fort Hall Indians are the first
to benefit from Secretary Lanes new
policy of encouraging the Indian to
raise more cattle, and it will be ey-
tended to other tribes.
The Secretary expresses confidence
in the ability of the Indians to become
successful stock raisers and herders

What II Means.

The fact that one mail order firm
in Chicago, one only of many in the
country, sold $93,OOO,OOO of goods in
1913, indicates the inroads that these
houses are making among local mer-'
chants This is an average of S1,O0
for each inhabitant. In a town like
Danyers it means the taking of $10,-
coo out of the local money circula-
tion. 1t shows also what continuous
advertising will do. If the other mail
order firms are doing a like business
the country merchants had better get
a hustle on before it is too late

LOYAL PRISONERS
MAY BE REWARDED
PRISON BOARD WILL ASK GOV
ERNOR FOR CLEMENCY FOR
THOSE WHO AIDED.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 4-The pris
on board has under consideration a
recommendation to the governor for
some sort of clemency for the ten
conyicts at the state penitentiary
who aided the officers there during
the recent attempt ON the part OF
three conyicts to escape in when
seven people were killed, including
the three inmates.
Some members of the board are
known to favor paroles for the prls-
oners in question. though it is not
known whether this would meet with
the sanction of the governor, as the
matter has not been taken up with
him by the board Prison officials
believe that some favor should be
shown the convicts, for in many
ways they aided the officers who
were trying to prevent the escape.
Not being given guns however, they
could actually do very little in in
tercepting the conycts who were
trying to escape.
There We're three negroes and
seven white men trying to assist the
officers at different times during the
attempted escape. Some are life
termers and others have only short
sentences, comparatively. Just what
action may be taken will not be
known until the matter has been
thoroughly discussed with the gov
ernor.
The men are J. w. Casteel, T. W.
Eyeridge, Claude Morton, H. l.. Ad
dington, William Richardson, Gus
Grcoms. Harry Lee, Charles Jag
gers. Jose Larrea and Marcelus
Shepard. Eyeridge is serving a life
sentence for murder Richardson,
Grooms, and Shepard are negroes,

DECISION AFFECTS
INDIAN LAND TITLES
RULE OF BRINGING SUITS is
ENLARcED-sUPREME COURT
AFFIRMS CASE.

Oklahoma City, Feb. "A decis
ion affecting Choctaw and Chicka
saw Indian land titles and one OF
far-reaching effect was delivered
by the supreme court today in af-
firming the case of c. f. Cannon
against d. r. Johnston and others
appealed from Jefferson county
Judge NJ. L. Rosser of Muskogee
sitting as special judge, wrote the
opinion. The action was by john
ston against Cannon to recover land
which constituted the allotfent OF
Agnes Wolfe, and in addition TO set
tlng questions affecting the aliena- -
ton of surplus lands, the court en-
larged the rule for the bringing OF
suits for possession of real estate.
Oklahoma has a statute prohibiting
a claimant or his grantors who have
been out of possession for more
than one year from bringing such
an action against one in adverse
possession, but in this case it was
held that the claimant may, by join
ing his champertous grantor main
tain the suit, Notwithstanding the
statute.
Restrictions upon alienation OF
surplus lands of allottees selected
during the life of the al,ottee, fixed
in Sec. 16 of the Choctaw Chickasaw
supplemental agreement, of one,
three and five years, the court held,
ran with the land and prevented
the heirs of a deceased allottee ot
such land from alternating the same
before expiration of the period. 1t
was also held that the doctrine Of
the rule of property cannot be ap'
piled to valid conyeyances made in
violation of governmental poncy
The courts opinion applies the
United States in the Mullins case,
dealing with a dead Indian, to liv
ing Indian. The case will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court of the
United States,
Another opinion was by Justice
Kane, dismissing the appeal of Con-
solidated Alfalfa Mining company
corporation, against A. d. Winsor
for himself and stockholders
brought from Tillman county.
