We Americans have a genius for the
invention of cure-alls, and for faith
In them after they ate invented. Some
one lias now contrived—on paper
the Order of Nebuchadnezzarltea. The
method of the order is not to be, us
one might expect, a diet of grass, but
a change front the upright ttositlon to
tine on all fours. Members of the so-
ciety must agree to eat, drink, walk
and run on their hands and knees.
They ate assured by the founder of
the order that they will speedily ban-
ish all the ills to which human flesh
Is heir. Witness the vigorous health
enjoyed by the dog. the ox, the horse
and the necessary pig—their freedom
from dyspepsia, neuritis, rheumatism
and consumption. Whether they he

mumps lias not yet been announced.
It is not disclosed whether this order
is the product of the lively Imagina-
tion of a newspapor reporter or a se-
rious scheme of a sincere reformer
who is unable lo master more than
one idea. The very doubt on this
point results from the fact that even
such a society might And adherents.
An oriental legend relates that when
woman first discovered man he was
Jiving on all fours. She coaxed him
to his feet, and Induced him to walk
upright. Can it be that the twentieth
century will undo the work of the
primitive woman? Surely, remarks
Youth's Companien, the adherents of
the new cult must all he men; for
fashion has made no provision for

“Creepers" designed for the purpose

CHAPTER XXXVil.
For a Change in the New Year.
If an arrangement could be made
wfth the almanac makers I would be
in favor of having the year begin with
the 1st of May.
On the 1st of January I have no real
sensation of the beginning of a new
period, the starting of a "new deal.
Between the last day of December
and the first day of January there ex-
ists no substantial difference. My
heart does not signify by a single
throb that it is aware of tlie change.
Nature does not turn over in its sleep
when the wnlstles blow and the bells
ring to announce the artificial dawn
of the artificial year, or disturb the
snow blanket under which It has lain
inanimate for a month or more. On
the other hand., continues the writer
in American Magazine, we spontane-
ous!;, signalize the arrival of the
spring by a revolution in our thoughts,
our manners, our physical relations
to the world, our clothes, our houses
and our habits. Nature, contemptu-
ous of the astronomers, shakes off its
cold lethargy and gives ns a happy
New Year at the flowery threshold of
the month of May.

The Gentile Carries Off His Spoil.
Half an hour later they heard the
sound or voices and wheels. Follett
looked up and saw a light wagon with
four men in it driving into the meadows
front the south. The driver was Seth
Wright; the man beside him he knew
to be Hishop Snow, the one they called
the Entablature of Truth. The two
oilters he had seen in Amalon, but he
did not know their names.
He got up and went forward when
the wagon stopped, leaning casually
on the wheel.
"He's already dead, but you can
help me bury him as soon as I get
my wife out of the way around that
oak bush—1 see you've brought along
a spade.”
The men in the wagon looked at
each other, and then climbed slowly
out.
‘Now who could ’a' left that there
spade in the wagon?" began the Wild
Ham of the Mountains, a look of per-
plexity clouding his ingenious face.
The Entablature of Truth was less
dis|tosed for idle talk.
Who did you say you'd get out of
the way, young man?"
My wife, Mrs. Ruel Follett.”
Meaning Prudence Rae?"
Meaning her that was Prudence
Rae.”
"Oh!”
The ruddy-faced bishop scanned the
horizon with a dreamy, speculative
eye. turning at length to his compan-
ions. ,
We better get to this burying, he
said.
“Wait a minute,” said Follett.
They saw him go to Prudence, raise
her front the ground, put a saddle
blanket over his arm, and lead her
slowly tip the road around a turn that
took them beyond a clump of the oak
brush.
It won't do!” said Wright, with a
meaning glance at Entablature of
Truth, quite as if he had divined his
thought.
"I'd like to know why hot?" retorted
tills good ntan. aggressively.
“Because times has changed; this
ain't '57."
•It'll almost do itself." insisted
Snow. "What say. ('.lines?” and he
turned lo one of the others.
"Looks all right." answered the man
addressed. "By heck! hut that s a
purty saddle he carries!"
"What say. Taggart?”
"For Ood's sake. uo. Bishop! No—
1 got enough dead faces looking at
me now from this place. I'm ba nted
into hell a'ready, like he said he was
yisterday. By God! I sometimes
think I'll have my ears busted and my
eyes put out to git away from the
bloody things!”
Ho! Scared, are you? Well, I'll
do It myself. You don't need to help."
•Better let well enough alone.
Brother Warren!” interposed Wright.
Hut it ain't well enough! Think of
that gill going to a low cuss of u Gen-
tile when Hrighaii) wants her. Why,
think of letting such a critter get
away, even 11 Brigham didn't want
her!"
You know they got Brother Brig-
ham under Indictment for murder now,
account of that Aiken party.”
•'What of it? lie'll get off.”
"That he will, hut it's because it's
Brigham. You ain't. You're just a
south country bishop. Don’t you
know he'd throw you to the Gentile
courts as a sop quicker it a wink if he
got a chance—just like he'll do with
old John D. Lee the minute George A.
peters out so that the chain will be
broke between Lee and Brigham?”
"And maybe this cuss lias got
friends,” suggested Gillies.
"Who'd know but the girl?” Snow
insisted. 'And Brother Brigham would
tix her all right, is the houshold of
faith to be spoiled?"
"Well, they got a railroad running
through it now," said Wright, and a
telegraph, and a lot of soldiers. So
don't you count on me. Brother Snow,
at any stage of it now or afterwards.
I got a pretty sizable family that
would bate lo lose tne. Look out.
Here he cornea.”
Follett now came up, speaking In u
cheerful manner that nevertheless
chilled even ttie enthusiasm of the
good Hishow Snow.
N„w. gentlemen, just by way of
friendly advice to you—like as not I'll
be stepping 111 front of some of you
In the next hour. But it isn't going
to worry tne any. and I'll tell you
why. I'd feel awful sail for you all If
anything was lo happen (o tne if flit*
Injuns got me. or I was look bud with
a chill, or a jack rabbit crept up and
bit me to death, or anything. You
see, there's a train of ‘.’5 big .1. Mur-
pity wagons will be along here Over
the San lit nut ditto trail. They
eonilng tint of their way, almost any
time now, on purpose to pick me up.
Fact is, my ••ars have been pricking
up all morning to
father. You see, they know I've been
here on special business, and 1 sent
word the other day 1 was about due to
finish It. and they wasu'A to go through
coming back without me. Well that
bull outfit will stop for me—and they'll
get me or get pay for me. That s
their orders. And It Isn't a train of
women and bullies, either. They're such
an outrageous rough lot. quick-tem-
pered and all that, that they wouldn't
believe the truth that 1 had an acci-
dent—not if you swore It on a sta< •-
of Mormon btbles topped off by the
life of Joe Smith. They'd go right out
anti make Amalon look like a whole
cavayard of razor-hoofed buffaloes had
raced back and forth over it. And the
rest of the 2,000 men on Ezra Calk-
ins' pay roll would come banging
around pestering you all with Win-
chesters. They’d make you scratch
gravel, sure!
“Now, let's get to work. 1 see you 11

You folks get him. and I'll
now l see that he was very dea- and
more than I suspected. He was quiet
and always so kind—I don't remember
that he was ever stern with me once.
And though he suffered from some
great sorrow and from sickness, ho
never complained. He wouldn't even
admit he was sick, and he always
tried to smile in that little way ho
had. so geutle. Pour, sorry little
father!—and yesterday nol one of
them would be his friend. It broke
my heart to see hint there so wistful
when they turned their backs on him.
Poor little man! And see, here s an-
other grave all grown around with
sage and the stones worn smooth;
but there's the cross lie spoke of. It

lie beside. Poor little sorry father!
Oh. you will have to be so much to
me!"
The train was under way again. In
the box of the big wagon, on a springy
couch of spruce itoughs and long
bunch grass. Prudence lay at rest,
hurt by her grief, yet soothed by her
love, her thoughts in a whirl about
her.
Follett, mounted on Dandy, rode be-
side her wagon.
"Better get some sleep yourself,
Rool,” urged Steffi ns.
"Can’t Lew. 1 ain't sleepy. I'm too
busy thinking altout things, aud 1 have
to watch out for my little girl there.
You can’t tell wliat these cusses might
do.”
"There's 30 of us watching out for
her now, young fellow.”
"There'll be 31 till we get out of this
neighborhood, Lew.”
He lifted up the wagon cover softly
a little later, and found that she slept.
As they rode on, Stefllns questioned
him.

Convention E-cHoes
By Ed J. Costello.
GUTHRIE: A table compiled by
Secretary Filson. showing tbe votes
cast last November In the forty new
Indian Territory counties created by
the constitutional convention shows
taut on the face of those returns
ou.y eight Indian Territory counties.
VcCurtaln. Creek. Muskogee. Nowata,
Okfuskee, Okmulgee, Pittsburg and
Wagoner are republican, but politi-
cians do not regard these figures as a
reliable Index to the strength of the
two parties, aud predict that practi-
cally all of the fourteen doubi
counties will go republican in the next
election.
The votinK populations based on
the eleeti-« last fail shows to what
extent the democrats in the consti-
tutional convention went to disfran-
chise voters in the northern part of
the territory which is conceded to be
republican or doubtful. Garvin conn-
tv cast 2.502 votes and receives two
representatives and Grady county cast
2,705 vues, receiving two represen-
tatives. Both are in the southern
part of the proposed state aud are
democratic. Wagoner couuty, the
strongest republican county in the In-
dian Territory, cast 3.520 votes, a
thousand more than was cast In Gar-
vin county, but has only one membei
of the lower h use of the legislature.
OKLAHOMA CITY: That Latimer
county republicans will instruct theit
delegation to the republican state con-
vention pt Tulsa to vote for a fight
on the constitution and to be against
putting out u state ticket, is the opin-
ion of Dr. J. K. \\ ..Hants of Oowaii.
1. T., who is here attending the drug-
gists’ convention.
Dr. Wiluams is one or
prominent republicans In that section
of the state and was chairman cf the
republican committee for the 90th
constitutional delegatorial district.
He claims the repuoilcans of his sec-
tion are heart and sole againstome
wnstitution and that they are also
against the nomination of a »taie
ticket by tbe party.
Thus the people of Wagoner county ment.
Two hours laier Follett came run-
ning back to where Prudence lay on
the saddle blanket in the warm morn-
ing sun.
'The wagon train is coming—hear
the whips? Now, look here, why don't
we go right on with it, In one of the
big wagoiiH? They're coming back
'No. Lew, I couldn't. Two of them

couldn't have got the other one any
more than you could have shot your
kid that day he up-euded the gravy
dish in your lap.”
•Hell!”

want to go hack there, do you?”
She shook her head. .
"No: It would hurt me to see it
now. I should be expecting to see him
at every turn. Oh, I conldn t stand
that—poor sorry little father!
"Well, then, leave It all; leave the
place to the women, aud good rid-
dance, and come off with me. 1 11 send
one of the boys back with a pack mule
for any plunder you wunt to bring j
away, and you needn’t ever see the
place again."
She nestled in his arms, feeling in j
her grief the comfort of his tender- I
ness. 4
"Yes. take me away novt.'
The big whips could be beard plain-
ly, cracking like rifle shots, and short-
ly came the creaking and hollow
rumbling of the wagons and the cries
of the teamsters to I heir six-mule
teams. There were shouts and calls.

Eight days later a tall, bronzed
young mau with yellow hair and quick
blue eyes. In what an observant Brit-
ish tourist noted in his Jour-
nal as “the not nnplcturesque
garb of a border ruffian,"
helped a dazed but very pretty
young woman on to the rear platform
of the Pullman car attached to the
east-bound overland express at Og-
den.
As they lingered on the platform be-
fore the train started they were hailed
and loudly chered, averred the journal
of this same Briton, "by a crowd of

Okmulgee, another northern republic-
an county, cast 2.538 votes, a few
more than Garvin, but has only one
representative. Sequoyah comity,
with 3.029 votes, Washington county
with 2.446 and Ottawa wkh 2.482 are
other northern counties having a vote
as large as Garvin, but receiving only
vote In the lower house of the
legislature. Tulsa county with 3,877
votes, Rogers with 2,358 and ( raig
county With 3,066 votes, get only one
representative apiece and one floating
district wtih one representative to-
gether. Thus they have a represen-
tative and a third, while Garvin coun-
ts v ftii a vote smaller than any coun-
ty ofi-ptlng Rogers, has two.
Muskogee county, Haskell s home,
has two representatives and a third
with Haskell, a small county, giving
it practically three. Pittsburg has
two and a half, Atoka one and a half
Coal one and a half, Hughes one and
a half. Johnson one and a half, Pon-
totoc one and a half, Seminole one
and a half. Stephens one and a half,
Carter two and Bryan two and a half.
All of these counties with the excep-
tion of Muskogee are In the southern
part of the proposed state.
The other counties are given one
representative, under the plan that all
conntle sin the proposed stale shall
have at east one member of the low
ei house. It is here that the scheme
<f creating small o unties In parts of
the Indian Territory works together
with the disfranchisement plan to
make the state legislature hopelessly
democratic.
WYNNEWOOD, 1. T.: Wyunewood
republicans are against the alleged
constitution to a man. They are also
against placing a ticket in the field
and propose « straight out fight f r
orlnc'ple. Said T. B. Kessenger, a
prominent Garvin county republican-
"Lets fight It. We wtll shell the tim-
ber. 1 do not believe it would be con-
sistent to nominate a ticket and fighi
the constitution. That would be too
much like a tramp looking tor work
and praying that he would not find it.
We are all against this infernal doeii;
Tis the issue that will decide
the political complexion of this coun-
tiy for years and will make thousands

WAl FANCCKA, I. T.: The repub-,

ans here.
SEMINOLE, I. T.: The majority or
the republicans here are against the
constitution, but they believe a ticket

cuted quietly.
WASHINGTON. 1. T.: The repuV„
licans of this section are almost to a.

ter.”

At this response from the girl, the
journal went on to say, the ruffians
had redoubled their drunken pande-
monium. And as the train pulled
a wav, to l lie observant tourists
marked relief, the young outlaw on the
platform had waved his own hut and
shouted as a last message to one
"Lew." that lie "must not let Dandy
get gandered up," nor forget to lie
him to grass."

Some c{ the Oklahoma counties in
the northern portion of the proposed
state are Kingfisher which has cast
3 340 votes. Canadian. 3,151 votes.
I.l'TlE, 1. T.: Most of the repub-
licans cf this section are against put-
tier out a state and county ticket and
all are against the constitution. They
do 'tot believe it would be consistent
to in minute a ticket and fight the

"And. suy. Lew sites got some stuff

"Sure! Tout t'alialiau can go."
"And give us some grab. Loxv. I've

An Dour later, when the train was
nearly ready to start, Follett took ills
wife to tlie top of the ridge and
allowed her. a Jit tic way below them

Whereupon had been later added to
the journal a note to llio effect that
Americans are not only quite as prone
to vaunt and brag »nd tell big stories
as other explorers had asserted, but
that in the west they were ready blas-
phemers.
