OLDEST BURGLAR ALARM
From London Tit Bits.

From London Tit-Bits.
 In Tibet the Tartars have what is possibly the oldest burglar alarm in the world It was invented as a pre- caution against the robbing of tombs. When a royal parsonage died in Tibet he was buried with all his jewels and precious robes. To add a still higher tribute, the most beautiful young women of his court were suffoca ted and emblamed upon the day of the funeral This conserved their beauty, and they were placed in a standing po- sition around the tomb of their mas- ter. each holding some trinket used by the royal parsonage during his lifetime To protect these treasures from van dals the Tibetans erected an arch of sharply pointed arrows. and whoever passed under this trod on release which discharged the arrows in quicS succession. This invention, hidder around the temples and tombs of the rich Tartars, was doubly efficient, as il protected property as we'll as ted justice without unnecessary trial b, jury.

LO, THE RICH INDIAN

". c. Shepherd. in Harpers Magazine for November.
 II FEE for the Osage Indians was u 1 neither easy nor pleasant for Kansas, until 1907, they grew small orops with difficulty, and now and then the government gave each member of the small tribe small check, aggre- gating $40 year, from money which had been paid to the government by cattle raisers who Leased grazing rights OF the Indians acres.
 A change came in 1907. The govern mcnt decided to send the Osage Indians down into Oklahoma to permit them ts grow up in a new state. The tribe was small, and perhaps the govern ment officials felt that in a new land ty. larger than the state of Delaware, was set aside for the tribe. and named Csage County. A strict censuy was fsken of the tribe It was discovered that it numbered 222e men, women and children; every Osage Indian in existence was counted and that num- Der made up their total force.
 Every man, woman and child was given 657 acres of land; a school was started for the Indian children and the Osages settled down to a life of farming. The Osages tell you that the soil was no good; that there were too many hills and too much timber ana too much underlying stone, and that farming in Oklahoma was worse than in Kansas.
 For eight years the Indians went from bad to worse. And then, five years ago. fate, in the shape of an oil man, stepped in. He drilled for oil on the Indian land and found it. Irn-

Also Clearing Houses

The public is inclined to think of the hotels as being among those busi- ness concerns operating on . strictly cash basis" F. c. Wicks, assistant man. ager of the Tutwiler said yesterday. This is mistaken idea. Of course. we do not run charge accounts, as many of the stores do, but credit with a hotel is just as important as it is with any other firm.
 Hardly day passes that we do not cash from $2,o0o to $2,500 worth of checks for our guests. On Saturdays a hotel becomes a veritable clearing house. A great many of the travelling men receive their checks at the end of the week and as the banks are closed they naturally expect the hotel of which they are the guests to take care of their checks for them.
 We get \ stuck occasionally. of course, but our loss is comparatively small. This is due to the care that is taken in cashing the checks. Unless a man has credit card with us we put ton and in that way usually are able to determine.
 Tt is really wonderful, the cleverness of professional crook. They can pre- sent checks which the average person would declare was good. They even bring phoney cashiers checks and post office money orders to get them cashed. With the proper amount of discretion they can be found out, however,"

mediately Washington was besiegsd with demands for oil leasesA These leases were sold by auction; some ef the prices paid were fabulous. These leases brought in so much money that in 1915, before the oil had begun te flow, every Osage Indian, man or wom- an. and every child born before 1907, received check for $l7o.z5 from the fund held by the government, which
 had decided to pool the oil interests of the Indians, making one mans luck the luck Of all. Cash money, in such abundance, astounded the Indians Some of the wise men said. There's
 trick here. The great White Father is getting ready to make us move again and he's trying to buy our consent But wealth was to follow that would these first, small checks look like to- bacco money.
 The next year, 1916, oil began to flow from many wells. The tribe it was stipulated by the government, should receive one-sixth of all the oil that was taken out. By the end of 1916 every man. woman and child received from the government ss26.0s, for leases and s1, 44s.S2 as his share of the oil. In 1917 the 222s Indian claimants received s2,60S each; in 1918 each share was $3,94o. Last year each Indian re- ceived 5000. and in this year of grace, with new leases being sold at wild
 prices and with oil flowing from every well. the Indians had received over
 10000 apiece up to July, with pros
 poets that their individual shares for the entire year would be 5000. The average Indian family numbers four persons; two or three members ot a family will each have one of the 2229 Osage shares, perhaps. This means a family income of over $25,e0 which is vUa

License DeIinauents

Many Birmingham persons will be forced to pay the penalty for falling to secure their business and automobile licenses -on time, said J. P. Stiles, judge of probate. "Only the month of October is allowed by the law in which to pay license fees. Many people neg lected to do so before Saturday. The last day of the month came on Sunday. Even though many failed to secure their licenses, more automobile tags were issued during October of this year than during the corresponding period of last year.

Costs Less Here

Tn this day of high prices it is pleas ing to know that Birmingham has lower gas rates than almost any city in the United States" said Thomas J. Judge '-The present charges are con siderably lower than they were some years ago, when the gas companies paid bnly s2 per ton for their coal. Now that they are paying about s6 through out the country, we can appreciate the fact that the charges in Birmingham are even lower than years ago, and only about half. and in some cases a third, of what theyeare in other cities.
 q recently noticed where Mobile was asking for raise of 30 per cent and Montgomery, Selma and other cities were doing the same. In Birmingham the rates for the first 10000 cubic feet are sS cents per thousand, with a dis count of per cent if paid within ten days. The scale goes down to 53 cents for the largest users. When other cities with the rates s1.5o and s1.75 and the companies demanding $2.00, we can congratulate ourselves n1having by product gas which is practically of the same efficiency as the coal and water gas formerly supplied"

This was a splendid start and it is expected that numbers of others will enroll within the next few days. In addition rome of the teachers are taking the courses offered by the state normal schools. These courses entitle the teachers taking them to college credits as well as extending their state certificates"
