SAW OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE
If Tale Is True, Pekin Merchant Was
More Than Ordinarily "Child-
like and Bland."
Dr. Wellington Koo, the brilliant
young Chinese diplomat, said at a
dinner party in New York:
"Some men seen* to think that we
Chinese are a very childlike and very
innocent people. They think we all
exactly resemble the Pekin merchants
of the story.
"According to this story—and it is
a gem—a Pekin merchant took a rutli-
er notorious foreigner to board with
him at a rate of $'Jl> a week. Six
months passed, and the rather notori-
j ous foreigner had not yet let his host
i onee see the color of his money.
I "So, at the end of the six months,
j the Pekin merchant thought the mat-
ter over very thoughtfully and re-
duced the foreigner's hoard from $20
to $10. He explained that thus, If the
foreigner never paid him, he would
not lose so much money."
Lettonia Called "Singing Nation."
"The Singing Nation" is the nnuie
often applied to Lettonia, home of the
Letts. The Letts derive the title of
"singing nation" from their common
| devotion to vocal music.
I For seven centuries the Letts suf-
1 fered subjection from the German
borons, who formed a haughty and
| firmly entrenched caste of nobility, but
1 despite this oppression the vitality «f
the Letts was such that they survived.
| since the abolition of serfdom in Kus-
' sia. in 1960. they have advanced in
! education and economics, and there
1 has been a growth of wealthy and cul-
; tured middle-class people.

Water Supply Plentiful, In New Rock
Island Wells.
Chickasha, Okla. The Rock Island
Railway company lias been succssful
la its que3t for a sufficient water sup-
ply lor the company's shops and
iouniiLouse here
Drilling of the tenth well on the
company's right-of-way has Just been
completed. These ten wells have a
pumping capacity of 100 gallons a
minute each—more than twice the
amount required to supply the shops
and roundhouse here and cost the
company approximately $200,000. In
stallation of the new boiler washing
iystem and the water treating plants
was recently completed at a cost said
to have beeu approximately $105,000.
It has been frequently reported that
the company was considering the con-
struction of a large shop somewhere
on the Oklahoma division, or the en-
largement of one of the presenr shops,
l.'ntll the abundant water supply was
obtained here, Chickasha's chances
of getting the "big shops" were con
ceded to be small. Since the digging
of the ten wells' gives the company
an adequate water supply here, hopes
| that the local shops and roundhouse
will be materially enlarged have been
revived.
JAZZ IS BANNED BY 0SAGES
Neighboring Indians Guests At Cele-
bration; Autos Teil Standing.
Hominy. The jazz, frox trot and
other modem dances are banned at
the intertribal dances that have been
taking place at Osage villages. Mem-
bers of the Poncas. Otoes, Pawners
and scattering members of flther
tribes have come as guests of the
Osages. The financial status of the
tribesmen is easily seen by the way
In which they arrive at the "round-
house" for the dance.
The Osages, who receive quarterly
payments from the government of
around $5,000 from the wealth accru-
ing to them from the oil and gas de
velopment in Osage county, drive up
in expensive automobiles, often with
chauffeurs driving the cars, while the
Poncas. Otoes and Pawnees, who are
just coining into their share of oil
wealth, still arrive on horseback, in
surreys, and a few in small cars.
Electric Lamps Urged in Mirves by
Bureau of Mines.
Washington, D. C.—Comparison of
death rates in Oklahoma, with those
of several other states indicates that
accidents and fatalities in the coal
mines of the state can be largely de
creased by the use of increased safe-
ty precautions, according to a report
issued by the bureau of mines safety
service.
Most important of these is the use
of electric cap lamps in place of the
aceetyleue lamps now in use, Mie
statement says. Several deaths, fires
and explosions in Oklahoma mines
were traced directly to the open light,
it is said.
Special efforts to eliminate the open
lamps are now being made in the
state, it is reported, by mine inspec-
tors and statv> officials.
HOME PEACHES ON MARKET
Plums, Pears and Apricots Are Also
Plentiful at Present.
Oklahoma City.—Peaches, home
grown and of the freestone variety
are to be had on Oklahoma City mark
its now. They are the first of the
season and are to be bought from 35
cents to 40 cents a dozen.
Other fruits on sale at present come
principally from California orchards
There are plums, pears and apricot
in plentiful quantities.
Among the vegetables the newest
Out are the egg plant and okra. While
small quantities have been finding
their way to markets of the city for
about twro weeks the supply now is
greater and promises to be in abun
dance for some time.
SMELTER REOPENS BLOCKS
WaQes Increased is Thought to Bring
In Workers.
Blackwell, Okla.—Four blocks of
the Bartlesville Zinc company's smelt
er were reopened Wednesday morn
ing. The smelter has been closed
since January, when it shut down for
repairs and because of gas shortage.
Plenty of gas is now available and
ore is being sent in from the mines
in Ottawa county. Four blocks are
opened and others may be started
later.
Wages have been increased 50 cents
a day, since some trouble has been
experienced in gettingacrew of work
fen. This is an increase of $1 over
the wages paid when the plant closed
down.

WASHAKIE, "GRAND OLD MAN"
OF THE SHOSHONES
BECACSK WASHAK1K ("Shoots
Untitling") had always been a
friend of the whites, President Grant
sent' him a fine saddle ami a sllver-
momited bridle as a token of one ,
great warrior's esteem for another, j
"What have you to say to the White
Father for such a beautiful gift?"
ked the post trader in presenting It |
to the Shoshone chief. The chief
was silent for a moment and then iu
voice shaken with emotion he said:
■When the white man gives thanks. I
lie has plenty tongue hut no heart; :
when Washakie gives thanks he has |
plenty heart but no tongue. The j
heart has no tongue."
Washakie wns born In the beautiful
Wind river country In Wyoming
about ten years before Lewis and
Clark visited the Shoshone. He he-
came noted for his friendship for the
whites and his deeds as a warrior
against enemy tribes. Once in his old
age some of the younger warriors
began talking of deposing hint.
Washakie disappeared from camp
and two months later on the night the
council was to meet to take action on
the chieftainship, he suddenly ap-
peared with six scalps of their tribal
enemies, the Blackfeet. Throwing
them at the feet of his warriors, the
chief exclaimed: "Let him who can
count as many scalps talk of being
chief." There was no more talk of
deposing him.
At another time Washakie's son,
smarting under the wrongs of a dis-
honest trader, led a war party to
avenge himself on innocent settlers.
Wasluikle, mindful of Ins promise al-
ways to live at peace with the white
men, sent this message to his sou:
The Moose's "Shovels."
Old moose shed the big, shovel-Ilk#
sutlers early In January, younger ones
weeks later. By the middle of May
the new growth of horn protrudes leas
than an Inch from tne skull. In three
months the development of the 70-
pouml shovel, often six feet across, is
Mitlrely completed.

Tulsa.—Miss Helen Wooden of this
city Is blind as the result of expert
raenting in a new dive at Sapulpa
lake, while with a party of girl friends
on a Fourth of July swimming out-

eyes open and could not see when she
came up, needing assistance to reach

JOSEPH, THE NEZ PERCE, THE
INDIAN XENOPHON
|
1- HE war was forced upon him. j
Realizing the uselessness of re- j
sistance, he resolved to find refuge in
Canada. Encumbered with women
and children and having a fighting
force that never exceeded 300 war-
riors; with an nrmy In front of him,
nnother behind him and a third on
his flank he began the flight. He
fought eleven engagements, five of
them pitched battles of which he lost
but one. In the other six skirmishes
he eluded pursuers, killed 120 aud
wounded 140 of the 2,000 soldiers who
fought him, but he lost 151 killed and
88 wounded of his own people.
His military Skill won the unstint-
ed praise of Ills adversaries. After
successfully conducting this retreat
over 2,000 tniles of the roughest coun-
try In North America he stopped to
rest. Fifty miles away lay the Cana-
dian line and safety. Suddenly fresh
troops appeared and surrounded him.
Even then lie could huve escaped by
abandoning his women and children
and the wounded. But this lie scorned
to do. After two days fighting he was
forced to surrender.
This is the story of Chief Joseph
(Hlnmaton-yalatkit — "Thunder Com-
ing Up From the Water Over the
I,und") of the Nez Perces. The Nez
Perce war began in 1877 when the In-
dians were removed from their homes
iu the Wallowa valley in Oregon, under
a treaty which Joseph refused to
recognize. He resolved to submit
I rather than provoke a war. His war-
riors were not so tractable. One day
' one of them whose father had been
i killed by a white settler rode into the
j Nez I'erce camp. "I have killed the
! white man who murdered my father,"
j he announced. "Now you will have to
I go to war." Other murders of settlers
followed and when the military was
I culled out the war began. Then fol-
| lowed the famous flight through Ida
J ho and Montana.
It ended in October when General
Miles attacked Joseph's hand In the
Bear Paw mountains. After a two-
■ day battle the chief gave up the con-
test. "1 am tired of fighting. Our
chiefs are killed. The old men are all
dead and it Is the young men who say
'yes' and "no' in the council. It Is
cold und we have no blankets. The
little children are freezing to death.
Hear me. my chiefs, my heart Is sick
and sad. From where the sun now
stands, I fight no more forever."
Joseph never fought again; nlthough
his people became exiles In Indian ter-
ritory ; eventually they were returned
to the northwest and on September 21,
1904, the Indian Xenophon died on the
CuNlUs r=.,arvHtlon. Nespelltu, Wash.
