BREAKING INDIAN HOME TIES AS FULL
OF PAIN AS THEIR WHITE BROTHER
Fred Barde in the Kansas City
Star: When little sister Navajo
or little Billie Thunder Boy is
grabbed suddenly by a govern-
ment agent on some far off Ind-
ian reservation and told that
forthwith he or she rnnst go to a
Sometimes little sister Navajo,
especially little sister Navajo,
whose people are very poor, ar.d

education of little Indian boys
and girls there is vociferous squal
ling and floods of tears. The
parents and kinsman share in the
grief, and accompany the sobbing
captives to the railroad depot,
and with aching hearts see them
carried away into an unknow
country.
When little sister Navajo and
Billy Thunder Boy reached their
new home, the Chilocco Indian
Agricultural school in Oklahoma
for instance, they are completly
bewildered. The innumerable
towns and cities and the multi-
tudes of men and women they
have seen on their journey are
merely sky-dreams, a mirage of
strange unrealities. They are
as young quail, but with no place
to hide.
Being unable to read or write
they seldom hear from home,
which increases their loneliness.
They pass many bitter days and
nights in grief and homesickness,
but all the time they forget more
and more the things they knew
in their half starved reservation
life. If their parents are not des-
titute, little sister Navajo and
Billie Thunder Boy receive small
presents of money occassionly
and proceed promptly to "blow
it in" with princely extravagence
at the school store where tally
and sugared popcorn andredso'ta
pop are sold at cost. Perhaps
they have met children of their
own tribe and find pleasure in
hearing their native language.
these luxuries
Time heals the wounded hearts
of little Indian boys and girls
just as it does the hearts of older
persons, white, black, yellow and
red, and on some fine, sunshiny
day comes the news that little
sister Navajo and Billy Thunder
may go on a long journey and see
their father and mother. The
stolid, frightened, careworn faces
of that early first day have
change to smiles and dimples and
bright eyes. Strange as it may
seem, there is more squalling and
tears. Little sister Navajo and
and Billie Thunder Boy don
want to go home.
Among the older boys and girls
A1! Different Classes of
Mail r\ust be Weighed.
Postmaster W. M. McCoy has j
has received an order from the
Postmaster General of the United
States to the effect that all the
different classes of mail must
hereafter be Weighedand assorted
and a careful record kept of the
results in order that statistics may
be compiled on the amount of
each class carried by the govern-
ment. Mr. McCoy stated yester-
day that this would require three
additional clerks, one for the en-
tire six months, the order is in
effect, and two for ninety days
five hours each day.
It is not known just what this
order will result in but it is gen-
erally construed to mean that the
postage rate will be changed con-
siderably and especially on second
class mail matter. So many
frauds are being perpetrated on
the government through the mails
by taking advantage of the loose
laws that it has been found neces-
sary to change them. At the last
session of congress it was decided
to have this work done, so that
| the house committee would hive
a basis upon which to change th.e

there is the primitive wish to During this time a tab will be

ticle of mail, including the post
bustling and excitement as rip-
pled through the dormitories at
Chilocco this year was almost be-
yond belief. There were bags
and taunks and boxes bumping
along the halls rnd piled at the
doorways, ready for the hackmen.
And boys anif girls sat in the
blazing sunshine waiting for the
wagons, fearful lest they should
pass without being seen. Many
times the mothers and fathers
came for their children and sat '.u
the shade on the lawns waiting
for the time ol departure. After
all.Jperhaps the hearts of little In-
dian boys and pirls are thrilled
with the same things that cause
little white poys and girls to be
sad or happy.
Mr. Roosevelt Pitched Ha\
Edward Maloney, a laborer of East
Norwich, N. J., went to Sagamore Hil
and with the help of President Roose-
velt hauled ten loads of hay from the
President's farm At the village post-
office last night Maloney g ive an inter-
esting resume of his day's work at
Sagamore Hill. He said.
■•About 2 o'clock in the afternoon
the President came out to the field. He
was dressed in a white suit, a soft
white shirt and tie to match. Alter a
hearty greeting and handshakes all
around began to help the man who was
pitching, with me loading. Before the
first load was done, you wouldn't have
given thirty cents for that white shirt,
and talk about sweat drops like peas,
why, the President had them as big as
black walnuts dropping from hia face.
He didn't stop to wipe them off either,
but kept right on pitching up forkfulls
so big that he had to get under them
and shove them up to me
"Talk about hay pitchers, he's a
wonder. After we got two wagons
loaded, I drove to the barn with the
President in the lead, fork on shoulder,
and when we reached the new hay barn
the President climbed up on my toad
and then into the mow, where he took
the hay from the fork and mowed it
away with more big drops falling from
him."
Two telephone calls from secretary
Loeb failed to take the President from
his work, although the business was
important, the laborer said. After the
day's work was finished the President
bade the men good afternoon and with
another handshake all around, he said
he would be on hand again tomorrow
to finish the hauling.
Maloney, upon being asked if he
would be on the job again tomorrow,
said: "No, not if the President is go-
ing to fire them up as he did to-day."
He had enough he said, although Mr.
Roosevelt only pricked him once with
the tines of the pitchfork. Maloney
appeared somewhat weary last night,
but was nevertheless proud of having
worked in the field with the President.

Blankenship, of Beck.Teun, "I have
proved to an absolute certainty that

taking a few more bottles, I was com-

Child Mangled
By Moving Train.
Leo Shaffer the two year old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Shaffer, 523 South
Second street was struck and killed by
a switch engine at 2 o'clock Saturday
afternoon in the Katy yards while Ho-
mer Dubois, a switchman who stood
on the footboard of the engine grab-
bed frantically at the child's clothing.
J. M. Greennan occupied the fire-
man's place in the cab and Charles
Pratt the regular fireman was at the
throttle. The regular engineer had gone
to dinner. The engine was going east
There is a difference of opinion as to
the rate of speed and the distance the
train ran after it struck the child. The
neck and right shoulder of the little
boy was badly mangled and the flesh
torn from the right hand.
The father is employed by the Mis-
souri Kansas and Texas railroad as a
coach cleaner, and works at night was
standing at an up stairs window in his
home near by and saw the accident and
the mother was just starting after her
child, and she too, witnessed the trage-
dy. It is supposed that the baby had
started across to where the father was
employed but suddenly decided to re
turn.

Senator Cherry Resigns
As Receiver of Bank
i Senator Charles Cherry, receiver of
the defunct Capitol National bank of
this city and of the Holdenville Na-
tional stepped down and out last week
having resigned several months ago,
and was succeeded by George Rankin,
the general manager of banks at the
department at Washington. Lee Sel-
sor remaines with Rankin as chief
cerk. An additional 10 per cent divi-
dend making a total of 55 per cent, will
be paid next month to Capitol Nationa
depositors.
The many friends of Col. Cherry are
sorry to lose him. In the two years he
has been in charge of the bank he has
made many friends, and at one time it
was hoped he would remain perman-
ently in Oklahoma and enter politics,
for he is a warhorse republican and
would have been a power in Oklahoma.
But the colonel could not detatch him
self from his old stomping grounds in
Illinois when it came campaign time.
But Oklahoma "would sure" liked to
have seen him on one of his state politi-
cal stunts. The democrats would have
realized that there were giants in the
land. Some day the colonel promises to
come back, "when we get ready to
fight," he says, "and have learned the
policical game."
