made arrangements to lease their
lands even before they were assigned
to them. Agents of the companies, or
•rustlers,’ as they were called,
watched their particular set of In-
dians, and as soon as they received
their allotments they took them to
the offices of the land companies,
where leases were all filled out. Ail
that remained to be done was to se-
cure the signaturs and the Indians
had signed away the use of their
valuable lands for five years for a
mere pittance. Most of the ground
that was leased In the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations for from live to
fifty cents an acre could he rented
for ten times that amount.
There are more than forty land
companies in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations which make their
money on leasing Indian lands, borne
of these conduct a straight business
These companies can regain po-ses-
sion of the lands by showing in court
that their Teases are valid and that
they reasonably compensate the In-
dians for the use of their proper v.

Peace Congress to Intervene
BOSTON: Resolutions intended
to bring about an end to the Kusso-

congress: By ihe terms of these reso-

appeal to the emperors of Rusia and
Japan to terminate the struggle, and
each of the powers signatory to The
Hague convention will be formally
requested to press upon Russia and
Japan the importance of putting an
end to the present war.
it was also voted that the resolu-

William It. Cremer of England
took occasion, while favoring the
declarations, to characterize the
treaty between England and Japan as
a blunder and to charge that this
troaty doubtless had much to do
with bringing on the Russo-Japanesa
war. Thereupon Great Britain’s pol-
icy of being a party to the treaty
was vigorously defended by Colonel
Bryce Jones, M. P:
The resolutions were pasesd after
a lengthy discusison in which many
of the most prominent foreign dele

Dr. Lapponi s Letter.
"1 certify that 1 have used Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills in four eases
of the simple am-n’.ia of develop-
ment. Alter a 15-w weeks of treat-
ment. the result caine fully lip to
my expectations. For that reason
1 shall not fail in the future to
extend the use of this laudable
preparation not only in Ihe treat-
ment of other forms of the cate-
gory of anemia or chlorosis, but
also In cases of neurasthenia und
the like." (Signed)
GIUSEPPE LAPPONI,
Via dei Gracchi 322, Rome.
9\he "simple anemia of develop-
ment" referred to by Dr. Lappom is, :
of course, that tired, languid condition !
of young girls, whoso development
to womanhood is tardy and whose
health at that period is so often im-
periled. His opinion of the value of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
ple at that time is of Ihe highest sci-
entific authority and it confirms tho
many published rases in which anemia
and, other diseases of the blood, as
well as nervous diseases, such as ner-
vous prostration, neuralgia, St. Vitus’
dance, paralysis and locomotor ataxia
base been cured by these pills. They
are commended to the public fur their
efficiency in making new blood and
strengthening weak nerves. After
such an endorsement they will be ac-
cepted by the medical and scientific
world at their full value.
Take Census Wiih Beads.
The recent census of the natives In
the Transvaal was taken with beads.
Each headman was furnished with a
number of beads of different colors,
and twine on which to string them. A
big black bead represented an adult
married native, a big yellow bead a
grown single man, a big blue bead a.
married woman, and a white bead a
single woman over fifteen years old.
A small yellow bead stood for a boy
and a small white bead for a girl.
Brahmin's Proverbs Popular.
The old English proverb writers
nsed Pllpuy's proverbs very largely—
in fact, if it was not for the old Brah-
min there would he many fewer Eng-
lish proverbs than there are. The
proverbs have been translated into
every European language and into
many Asiatic tongues—Persian. Ma-
lay, Mongolian, Afghan; they are the
proverbs of the world.
Irish Fruit Culture.
Iieland is making a bold bid for •
leading position In the British fruit
markets. Orchard cultivation is being
encouraged by the authorities, and ar-
rangements are being actively prose-
cuted for the drying and packing ot
fruit, in "American fashion,” for ex
portation. The Irish fruit is among th«
finest in the world.__
Popular Taste Changed.
Two generations ago an author
could not make his heroine cuccess-
ful w'thout constantly calling the slen-
derness of her waist to the attention
of the reader. For certain sma.l
mercies let us be duly thankful. The
eighteen Inch waist Is no longer thu
basic motif of the popular novel.

The foolish little bee improves each

THE UNITED STATES WILL SOON
KNOCK AT THE DOORS OF
CANADA FOR WHEAT.
A Crop of 60,000,000 Bushels of Wheat
Will Be the Record of 1909.
Tlie results of the tbresblrg In
Western Canada are not yet complet-
ed, but from information at hand, it is
safe to say that the average per acre
will he reasonably high, and a fair
estimate will place the total yield of
wheat at 60,000,000 bushels. At pres-
ent prices this will add to (he wealth

The following official telegram was
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Min-
ister of tlie Interior, to Lord Strath-
cona, High Commissioner for Cait
ada:
"Am now able to state definitely
i that under conditions of unusual diffi-
culty in Northwest a fair average crop
of wheat of good quality has been
| reaped and is now secure from sub-
I stantial damage. The reports of in-
jury by frost and rust were grossly
exaggerated. The wheat of Manitoba
and Northwest Territories will aggre-
: gate from fifty-five to sixty million
bushels. The quality is good and the
price is rangiug around one dollar
j per bushel."
Frank H. Spearman, in the Eatur-
' day Evening Post, says:
| "When our first transcontinfntal
| railroad was built, learned men at-
tempted by isotlierman demonstration
! to prove that wheat could not profit-
ably be grown north of where the lino
was projected; but the real granary
of the world lies up to 300 miles north
of the Canadian Pacific railroad, and
the day is not definitely distant when
the United States will knock at the
doors of Canada for Its bread. Rail-
road men see such a day; it may be
hoped that statesmen also will see it,
and arrange their reciprocities while
they may do so gracefully. Americans
already have swarmed into that far
country and to a degree have taken
the American wheat field with them.
Despite the fact that for years a little
Dakota station on the St. Paul road—
Eureka—held tho distinction of being
the largest primary grain market In
the world, the Dakotas and Minnesota
will one day yield their palm to Sas-
katchewan.”

A GREAT INSTITUTION.
U is unusual that a single institution in a
city of 8,000 people will overshadow in im-
portance every iither interest, hut such is
the ease witn tho American School of

impressed with the idea that the town is
sustained by this institution, in fact,

endowed' institution of its Kind in the
United States.

yearly and each student is required to at-
tend four terms of live months each before
completing the oourseof study There are
