Legend of Indian Lake.
One of the features of Jeypore In
India is the wonderful Sambur salt
lake, concerning which there is a cu-
rious legend. The story runs that an
old fakir long ago told on& of the
rajahs that, if he wanted to be rich,
he should ride a horse as far as he
could go, without once looking back,
and the land as far as he could travel
would become a field of sliver, always
provided he did not turn. He rode for
tHrty miles and then, curlouslty over-
coming him, he looked back, with the
result that, Instead of the promised
field of silver he found a lake of salt
John Weeks, of Skedee, visited last
week with his sister, Mrs. Dell Frazier
A drunken Osage was arrested in
town Monday afternoon and was fined
47 and trimmings, amounting in all to
010. In addition to this the booze
cost the Indian 12 more, making $12
in all. This seems to be a little high
for just a plain drunk, but when wc
consider that whiskey sells readily in
town for 12 a quart, sincc the saloons
have gone out of business, the price
quoted above is not so extravagant
after all.—Later. Two mere Indians
were arrested later in the day and
plead guilty to the charge of carry-
ing more booze than they could well
navigate with.
JAIL DELIVERY FLUSTRATED.
During a portion of the day the
prisoners in the county jail are allow-
ed the privilege of occupying the cor-
ridors. Yesterday they were permit-
ted to enter the corridor about nine
o'clock. About 10 o'clock Sheriff Pum-
roy left the jail. He was confident at
that time that everything was quiet
in the jail. Before 11 o'clock Mrs.
Pumroy had occasion to go out the
east door at the east end of the build-
ing when her attention was attracted
by falling mortar. She notified the
sheriffs office and the officers reached
the jail in time to prevent a whole-
sale delivery. A hole had been made
in the wall large enough to have per-
mitted the prisoners to have crawled
through, except the removal of the
outside stone, and the mortar had
been practically removed from around
it. In fifteen minutes more the pris-
oners who cared to escape could have
been at liberty. It was indeed fortu
nate that the attempted delivery was
discovered in time to completely frus-
trate the designs of the prisoners,
some of whom today enter the walls
of the prison at Lansing, Kansas, to
serve the sentences imposed on them
at the term of court which has just
closed.—Pawnee Daily Outlook.

plying Chamberlain's Pain Balm

Unfortunate Slip.
Dr. Madison C. Peters tells of a l
diorous remark made by a young man
Just about ready to graduate in'o the
ministry. The youthful dlvii.e was
called upon to address the inmates of
a penitentiary on an occasion when
the prisoners were assembled in the
chapel for prayers.
When be looked down from his pul-
pit at the depraved and desperat*
looking characters in the congrega-
tion, the young parson experienced
quite a turn. Surely ho would Pud it
difficult to say anything that would
impress such an audience. He entire
!y forgot. In that instant, all the fine
sentiments he had prepared. He
cleared his throat once—then again
and again. Finally he spoke, but 1
stead of the fine address he had hoped
to make the best he oould stammer
forth was:
"Ah, my friends, I am indeed happy
to see so many of you here this morn-
ing 1"—Lipplncott's.

town for the money.
