"Cherokee Strjp.V

The so-called Cherokee Strip" was
opened to white settlement in Septem-
Der, 1893. This entire Cherokee coun-
try was not quite one-quarter of the
old Oklahoma territory, being about
300 miles in extent. The Creek In
dians coded part of their domain in
Indian territory to the United States
government in 1865. for 80 cents an
acre, and the Seminoles sold their en-
tire holdings for half that price per
acre. White men were pre-empted by
law from settling on the Indian lands
in that territory, and it was unoccu-
pied for long time. In 1880 1t was
necessary to use troops to drive white
settlers out, who had stolen into the
territory. On April %, 1889, these
lands were declared open for settle
ment When these rich lands were
opened for settlement. 10000 people
waited to cross the line when the sig
nal was given.

Paintings Infatuate Men.

The officials of museums and picture
galleries can sometimes tell very in
teresting things about their visitors.
1t has often been necessary to forbid
men and women from entering certain
galleries where they have fallen in
love with pictures of exceptional
beauty. Men have become so infatuat-
ed with painted loveliness that they
have made themselves absurdly con-
spicuous. The famous picture of
"Mona Lisa" turned the heads Of many
men and some women. After Mona
Lisa" was stolen, many letters, poems
and beautiful flowers were often placed
before the empty space she once
adorned. Napoleon was one of Mona
Lisa's" most ardent admirers, and
when be became emperor and found the
picture In the palace at Fontainebleu,
he had II removed to his bedroom,
and 1t hung there until his fall, when
1t was taken to the Louvre.

Blotting out all imperfections, holding
virtues up to light;

Then would life be well worth living
In world all glad and bright
II we offered to the living, as we heap

Fragrant flowers of affection. blossoms Of

Waiting not till hands are folded on the

Then the passion OF our pleading would

II we gave unto the living as we lavish

All our hearts long hidden treasure, all

when his fortune was gone, through
she had used hers for their mainte-
nance without Overmuch upbraiding.
} When Myra was gone and her prop
erty, entailed, had fallen to her
nephew, Herndon Copeland, there was
nothing else for Allen to do but to
stay with Herndon.
For some months he had been quite
happy. Old Joanna, the housekeeper
and cook, waited on him agreeably and
patiently; Herndon kept him supplied
with Havahas and little pocket mon
ey. He still rode across the country
when he liked, he collected his curios
without mental apology to anyone.
Then Herndon had married Sophia
Vail. A fortnight after she came into
the house she unceremoniOusly re-
moved Aliens ancient candlestick, his
bits of stone, his coins and his sharks
teeth from the parfor to an old out
building. He almost wept when he
found a treasured bit of heavy crystal
from the hot springs Of Arkansas TAX
en- for prop to.-a chicken coop.
Then the young bride sent away
black Joanna and cared for the house
and cooked the meals herself. Allen
no longer had his hot water brought
to his ROOM his chocolate and his hot
biscuits for breakfast. Sophia de-
eiared that coffee and toast were quite
sufficient for all her family, and that
those who lived with her might wait
on. themselves, as she did.
Old Allen was troubled. The ladies
of his household had always required
servants; they had always been hos
pitable, generous, thoughtful of the
old. No one of them would have
dreamed of sending relative to an
Institution of charity.
A slow tear-the tear of old age hurt
--crept out on Aliens cheek. He felt
in his pocket for handkerchief, and
drew OFT with 1t crumpled newspa-
per he bad picked up on the road that
morning.
He wiped his eyes and adjusted his
glasses. TO his surprise, the paper
was copy of a southern daily, and
on IFS cover was a picture Of the st.
Charles hotel. He drew quick

TRACING Bomb Eienda.

The X-rays are to be used by the
police In examining bombs that may
be sent to citizens. BY this means,
it is expected, that tell-tale evidence,
including, perhaps, finger prints, will
be obtained and kept to aid the police
in their work. Particular warning
was issued by the bomb squad against
hand grenades that have been kept
by returning soldiers SIS souvenirs. It
was said that II these fell into the
hands of anarchists they could be
loaded with deadly explosive, and
would be particularly dangerous.
