in the Indian Territory telling of
her natural resources, commenced.
With live men throughout: thous-
ands of new homes will be known
in every part of the world.
Our newspapers all used as com-
plimentary forces, giving publicity
to the new country with a zeal of
crusaders. Wonderful emulation
is being developed by human con
tact.

"Then It was all the braver!" ex-
claimed the interrogator, positively bar-

She paused and looked about her.
There was not much to look at, but
Kltse was a born rubber and her neck
had to have exercise. After she had
gazed awhile she ceased to pause and
ambled along for half a block, then she
stopped again and took another look.
Seeing no one, she raised her right
foot, yanked off her toe slipper and
shook a pebble from it. A look of re-
Kef spread over her face as she re-
placed the slipper and her Jaws relaxed
tlietr rigidity. Her pearly little teeth
once more played regularly upon the
wad of rubber kuui between them. She
always wore rubber gum between her
teeth because It matched so nicely with
her rubber neck.

Wr jht states that this year will
break ail records for Immigration
to Indian Territory. Probably the
heaviest immigration has been in
the Creek Nation, he says, while a
arge number has settled in the
Chickasaw country. Mr. Wright
attributes this to the fact that con-
gress has passed some favorable
legislation which now operates
favor of the non-citizens. In the
Creek country a heavy sale of lands
is reported.

Clerk McDowell of the national
house of representatives has a son in
the navy who was on the Indiana at
the battle of Santiago. Ills station
was in the crow's nest, high up on the
tlglitlng mast.
"I remember that Sunday when the
battle was supposed to be on." said
Major McDowell the other day. "The
boy's mother was pretty nervous. 1
toll 1 her there was little cause for
worry.
" 'They don't aim their guns as high
as that. The Spaniards want to hit the
ships.' 1 said.
" 'yes,' said she, refusing to be com-
forted, 'but those Spaniards are such
bad shots.' "

Senator Depew was chatting not
long ago with a congressman who dur-
ing the civil war was twice drafted
and each time furnished a substitute.
Tbe subject of uiralilps wns under dis-
cussion, and the congressman asked:
"Senator, do yon believe that bal-
loons will ever be useful In war?"
"Well. I think some persons might
Cad them bandy In case of a draft"
Tn«k rtir Doctor's Advice.
There was onco a learned judge of
eighty who never took any exercise.
Not feeling very well, he consulted a
physician.
"You have no business to live with-
out taking exercise," said the phy-
sician. "You must give up your seden-
tary habits and walk for au hour ev-
ery day."
"But it bores me so," pleaded tha
Judge. "If 1 follow your advice 1
shall walk myself into a premature
grave."
"Better die correctly than live In-
correctly," snapped the physician. "1
can't understand Jiow you can have the
presumption to bo alive now."
"Very well, then. If you insist upon
It I'll take exercise under protest."
said the Judge and died n couple of
months later, still protesting.—London

Would you purchase a swift automobile i
