< A LETTER TO SANTA CLAUS
t pKAR Santa Clack—
# We know that you always buy so many nice things for
J the girls and boys, especially the girls, that we write you.
# Now, Dear Santa, haven't you got a real nice boy who has
J been kind and good to his mother and father, who needs a
• real nice suit of clothes or overcoat, or both? Haven't you
J got a boy who has worked hard this year, who needs a pair
X of boots or shoes, hat or cap? If you know of such boys as
2 we have mentioned, remember that boys should be rewarded
£ for their kindness and labor, and, that most of them, greatly
f appreciate a gift from you. It may be, Dear Santa, that
^ you know of a boy, we hope not, who has been unkind to his
1 parents or brothers and sisters, who would get mad and say
f bad words when told to do some work or go on some errand.
J Now, if you do happen to know of such a hoy, do not forget
^ (o give him some nice present, because this poor boy has
4 had his feelings hurt, and feels that every one is trying to
2 impose upon him, when, if you will buy him a nice present,
# ne will feel that he is not forgotten and no doubt will try to
# do better, and may, some day, make a good man, when if
J left alone ho will become a worthless tramp. Now, Dear
4 Santa, this does not refer only to little hoys, hut to hoys of
2 all sizes and ages, because, you Jcnow, some men in age are
f boys when they should l>e men. Now, Dear Sauta, if you
€ know of a man who has been very kind to his wife, his
£ family, his mother and especially his mother-in-law, who
£ has worked hard all year and done without himself in order
# to supply others, don't vou think that he should have a real
J nice suit of clothes, like ALFRED BENJAMIN & CO make
? or a nice pair of pants, or a nice hat, or a good pair of hoots
£ or shoes?
♦ Then, Dear Santa, there is the young man who has gone
* to sec his sweetheart time after time. He has carried her
♦ buggy riding, treated her to ice cream and candy, sent her
5 dowers, all of which has been a heavy drain on his scanty
* purse; hoping, wishing for the time to come when he will be
♦ able, financially, to offer her all the joys this world's goods
X can afford, asking only in return her eternal love. Now,
2 don't you think that thisnicc fellow should receive, at least,
$ a nice pair of gloves, a pretty tie, a fancy pair of suspenders,
♦ a dozen linen handkerchiefs or something of this kind?
♦ And, now Dear Santo, we keep all of these things that
I we have mentioned in this letter, and they are the very best
♦ to be found in the country. We know that you are a good
Z buyer and that you always pay cash, so we want your trade
and would ask that you call and see our line before buying.
Very respectfully,
J. M. Boling & Co.
Broke a Rib.

ken Thanksgiving day in a pe-
culiar manner Her daughter on
returning home greeted her with
such warmth that in embracing
her she broke a rib.

These County Lines.
Some of our exchanges are de-
voting much space to the prob-
able size of the counties of the new
state. After viewing the makeup
of the committee appoiuted bv
President Murray jii that question,
Progress has no fear that counties
of insufficient taxable wealth will
be created for the mere purpose of
satisfying the county seat ambition
of a large number of tow us. We
have individually heard several of
the members of the committee ex-
press their views on this matter
and feel perfectly safe in predic-
ting that when the committee com-
pletes its work that, the tux payers
of the uew state will be pleased
with the work of that committee
:tnd it is the tax payer that should
be considered in the making of
counties.

tutional Convention, on Tuesday

Intermarried Whites' Right to
Traisfer.
After reciting the recent decis-
ion of the supreme court of the
United States in regard to the
white adopted case, ami citing for-
mer rulings and decisions in the
matter, Commissioner Bixby has
issued the following order:
"It is Hrkkhy Okhkkei. that in
the event the intermarried appli-
cants ure finally rejected, the Com-
missioner to the Five Civilised
Tribes will recognize a transfer en-
tered into in good faith by such
intermarried applicant prior to his
rejection by the Secretary of the
I u terior, whereby the impro vemen ts
upon the land held by the intermar-
ried applicant as a prospective
Hllotment are transferred to a citi-
zen of the Cherokee nation entitled
to take an allotment of lands in
suid nation, and upon the rejection
of such intermarried applicant by
the Secretary of the .nterior the
cititen vendee of such improve-
ments may apoear at the Cherokee
Land Office of the Commissioner at
Muskogee, Indian Territory, and
select as his allotment the land for-
merly held by the intermarried ap
plicaut when such citizen vendee
ran produce a bill of Male evidenc-
ing the fact that the transaction
was entered into in good faith prior
to the final rejection of the inter-
married applicant by the Secretary
of the Interior.

it. lawrence, which will la- of fur
reaching effect in the matter of
leasing land for oil und gaa pur-
poses trout Freedinen or Indians
who have had their restrictions!
removed.
The case iu point was that of!
the Okmulgee Ixian and Trust!
Company aguinst J. G. Eld red
and A. W. Leonard, defeandants.
The plaintiffs had purchased
the surplus allotment of Mary
ijewis, nee Jackson, a Creek
Freedmau, who had previously
made an oil leuse to the defen-
dants.
Attorney for the plaintiffs set
up the fact in their |ietitioii that
by reason of the fact that the
defendants had not complied
with the rules and regulations
of the Department of tlie Inter-
ior governing the leasing of land
in tli,e Indian Territory for oil
and gas purposes, in that the
lease had not been duly filed
with the department for the ap-j
proval of the secretary and whs,
therefore! void. Demurrer was1
then sustained.
This is the first time there has
las'ii a test case made to decide
this question, although many
attorneys have declared that
notwithstanding tie- fact that |
the Secretary of the Interior has!
ruled that an oil lease on the
land of a Freedmau or an In-!
dian who liashad his restrictions
removed must be approved by
him, us is the case w it h Indians j
who cannot dispose of their land. |
It is expected that the opinion |
of Judge Lawrence will l>e taken
lis absolute with the oil men and
all leases taken iu the future will i
liot be tiled with the department
as ill the past.

Indian Central.
At So. McAlester Tuesday the
business men of that town got busy
and held a large meeting at the
opera house, where they subscribed
$120,000 for the Indian Central
railroad proposition, thereby guar-
anteeing the building of that road,
which will run from Kay county,
Oklahoma, down to Paris, Texas,
and ultimately to Fort Worth,
where it will handle the big packing
shipments.
When constructed the Indian
Central will lie 'the shortest route
to the Guif by 400 miles, with Kan-
sas City as its northern terminus.
This citv is to get the shops of the
road and is also to be made a divis-
ion point in exchange for bonui
and not one cent of the money is to
bi paid until the cars are running
in either from Claremore or Parii,
