Bill Passes
Muskoogee. 1. T. If the senate and
bouse pass the Curtis Indian bill as
reported by the conferrees there will
be "something doing" In Indian Ter-
ritory. The hill provides that all chil-
dren wiio have not been enrolled and
who were living at that time, shall be
admitted to the rolls and given allot-
ments.
Acting Commissioner Beall stated
that as closely as It could be approxi
mated 12,000 babies under the bill will
be admitted to tli^ rolls. The task
of enrolling and allotting these babies
will require an additional force of
nearly 100 men on the Dawes com-
mission. There will be ten or 12 field
,parties put out among tho Indians for
the purpose of finding and enrolling
these babies. These field parties will
have lota of hard work to do when
It comes to rounding up full-blooded
Indians and getting data on the num-
ber of babies born prior to March 4
The removal of restrictions from In
dian lands will practically knock out
the -land sales division at the Indian
agency.
DESCENDS STAIRS on head
Eemarkable Performance of P<rls
Acrobat on Wager with
American.
Paris.—The police here are accus-
tomed to strange sights, especially at.
carnival time, but none of their previ-
ous experiences had prepared them for
the spectacle presented on the steps of
tho opera house at eleven o'clock last
night.
With his feet in the air and his
arms serenely folded, a gentleman was
descending the broad stairs on his
head. Bump! bump on every step,
with painful precision, down he came.
Arriving finally on the pavement oi
the Pin e de fOpera, the accrobat. to
the relief of the police, once more
assumed the ordinary attitude. Clasp-
ing his aching head, he made for the
nearest chemist.
The acrobat, FranconI, explained to
the policeman that his performance
was the result of a wager with an
American.
the choice of paint.
Fifty year* ago * well palmed house
was a rare sight; today an uapalnUd
house Is rarer. If peopl* knew the
real valus of paint a house in need
of paint would ho "scarcer than hou
teeth." There was oin>< excuse for
our forefathers. Many of them lived
In houses hardly worth preserving,
they knew nothing about paint, ex-
cept that It was pretty; and to get a
house painted was a serious and cost-
ly Job. The difference between their
case and ours Is that when they want-
ed paint It had to be made for them;
wherets when wo need paint wo can
go to tho nearest good storo and buy
It, In any color or quality ready for
u«p. Yv'o know, or ought to know by
this time, that to let a hou.so stand
uupalnted ia most costly, while a good
coat nf paint, applied In Mit'on, l tho
best of invest ments. If we put off the
br!• r visit or the painter wo ahali In
dti" (Imo have tho carpenter eoiilng
to pay us a long visit at our e*pcn i
Lumber 1b constantly getting acai or
dearer and poorer, while prepared
paint * are getting plentler, better and
lesa expensive. It is a sbort-alghu'd
plan to let the valuable lumber of our
bodges go to pieces for t ho want of
paint,
ForHho man that needs paint there
are two forma from which to choose;
on" i: thg old form, still 4V <<red by
certaiu unprogrcsslvo painters who
have not yol caught up with the times
—lend an<l oft; the other Is the ready-
for-use paint found In every up-to-date
store. Tho first must bo mixed with
oil, driers, turpentine and colors bo-
fore It ia ready for uae; the other
need only bo stirred up in the can
and It la ready to go on. To buy
lead nnd oil, eoiors, etc., nnd mix
them Into a patnt by hand Is, In this
twentieth cpntury, about the same
as refusing to ride in a trolley car
because one's grandfather had to walk
or ride on horseback when he wanted
to go anywhere. Prepared paints havo
been on the market less than fifty
years, but they have proved on the
whole so inexpensive, so convenient
and so good that tho consumption to-
day is something over sixty million
gallons a year and still growing. Un
less they had been in the main Ratis
factory, it stands to ronson there
would have been no such steady
growth In their use.
Mixed paints are necessarily cheap-
er than paint of the hand-mixed kind,
because they are made In a large way
by machinery from materials bought
In large quantities by the manufac-
turer. They are necessarily better
than paints mixed by hand, because
they are more finely ground and more
thoroughly mixed, and because there
Is less chance of the raw materials In
them being adulterated. No painter
however careful he may be, can evct
be sure that the materials he buys are
not adulterated, but the large paint
manufacturer does know In every
case, because everything he buys goes
through the chemist's hands before
be accepts It.
Of courso there are poor paly
the market (which are fy
cheap paints). So there is p/
poor cloth, poor soap; but bj
that do we go back to the
t^Te" bacRwoo'Ss ""fto, "we our com-
mon sense in choosing goods. We find
out the reputation of the different
brands of flour, cloth and soap; we
take account of the standing s?f the
dealer that handles them, we ask
our neighbors. So with paint; If the
manufacturer has a good reputation,
If the dealer is responsible, If our
neighbors have had satisfaction with
it, that ought to be pretty good evi-
dence that the paint Is all right.
"Many men of many kinds"—
Many paints of many kinds;
but while prepared paints may differ
considerably In composition, the bet-
ter grades of them all agree pretty
closely in results. "All roads lead to
Rome," and the paint manufacturers,
starting by different paths, have all
the saino object—to make the best
paint possible to sell for the least
money, and so capture and keep the
trade.
There Is scarcely any other article
of generil use on the market to-day
that can be bought with anything like
the assurance of getting your money's
worth as the established brands of pre-
pared paint. The paint you buy to-
day may not be like a certain patent
medicine, "the same as you have al-
ways bought," but if not, It will be
because the manufacturer has found
a way of giving you a better article
for your money, and so making more
sure of your next order. ^ ^

band it Is only a dream.

"On general principles, I suppose:
so should I, and for the same reason.
But have I succeeded in reminding
you of that thing you were going to
tell me?"
"Not wholly; only partly. You said
this matter of Mr. Ormsby's concerned
Miss Brentwood—in a way—didn't
you?"
"You will have your pound of flesh
entire, won't you The stock is hers,
ind her mother's and si3ter's. 1 want
Ormsby to persuade them to sell.
They'll listen to him. That is all; all
the all."
'•Of course!" she said airily. "How
simple of me not to have been able to
add it up without your help. I saw the
quotation in the evening paper; and 1
know, better, perhaps, than you do,
the need for haste. Must you go now?"
She had taken his arm and was edg-
ing him through the press in the par-
lors toward the entrance hall.
• You haven't paid me yet," he ob-
jected.
"No; I'm trying to remember. Oh.
yes; I have It now. Wasn't some on?
telling me that you were interested
in House Bill Twenty-nine?"
They had reached the dimly lighted
front vestibule, and her hand was still
on his arm.
' I was interested in It," he admitted,
correcting the present to the past
tense.
"But after It went to the house com -
mittee on judiciary you left it to more
skillful, or perhaps we'd better say. to
less scrupulous hands
"I believe you are a witch. Is there
anything you don't know?'
She turned from him and spoke to
th footman at the door.
"Thomas, fetch Mr. Kent's coat and
hat from the dressing-room." And
then to Kent, in the tone s'aa might
have used in telling him of the latest
breexiness of the member from the Rio
Blnneo: "I remember now what it
was that 1 wanted to tell yau. While
and there was a passing shadow
disappointment in them.
• I ought to beg yours. 1 m afraid
I was thinking aloud. But It Is one
of my dreams. U I were a man I
should go into poilticB."
To purify them?"
•To do my part in trying. The
great heart of the people is hones,
and well-meaning: I think ^6 *'l a "
rnlt that. An! there is Intelligence,
too. But human nature Is the name as
ii used to be when they set up a man
who could and called him a king- Gen-
tle or simple, It must be led.
•There is no lack of leadership, sucli
as it Is." he hazarded.
• No: but there seems to be a pitiful
lack of the right kind: men who wi 1
put weif-seekifts. and unworthy ambi-
tion aside nnd lift^'he standard of jus-
tice and right-doing for lis own sake.
Are there any such n*?n nowadays.
•I don't know," he (rejoined grave-
ly. "Sometimes I'm tdmpted to doubt
it. It is a frantic scramble for placo
and power for the most part. The
kind of man you have In mind isn't
in it. shuns it as he would a plague
spot."
She contradicted him firmly.
"No, the kind of a man I have In
mind wouldn't shun It; he would take
hold with his hands and try to make
things better; he would put the sel-
\- . oti V l flsli temptations under foot and give

Kent went, to the telephone anil called bgtraction which we call patriot-

VeuelPPC that apswered.^ . 8(la ^ -."Jrun runderstand,"she said: meW
ns he had given'his name. ing. rather, that she refused to under-

"I mean that such a man, however
exalted his views might be, would have
to have an object more personal tp
him than the mere dutiful promptings
of patriotism to make him do his
best."
"But that would be self-seeking
again."
df
Wnac < I do at Miss Van Brock's
to make you cut me dead?"
"Why, nothing at all. I'm sure. I—
I was looking for Mr. Ormsby. and—"
"Not when I saw you," she broke in
flippantly. "You were handing Miss
Portia an ice. Are you still looking
for Mr. Ormsby?"
"I am—just that. Is he with you?"
"No; ho left here about 20 minutes
ago."
Kent hung up the receiver, and
whon he was asking a second time
at the clerk's desk for the missing
man, Ormsby came in to answer for
himself. Whereupon the crisis was
outlined to him in brief phrase, and
he rose to the occasion, though not
without a grimace.
"I'm not sure just how well you
know Mrs. Hepziiiah Brentwood," he
demurred; "but it will be quite like
her to balk. Don't you think you'd
better go along? You are the com-
pany's attorney, and your opinion
ought to carry some weight."
David Kent thought not; but a cau-
tious diplomatist, having got the idea
well back into the back part of his
head, was not to be denied.
"Of course, you'll come. You are
just the man I'll need to back me up.
I sha'n't shirk; I'll take the mother
into the library and break the ice,
while you are squaring things with
the young women. Penelope won't
care the snap of her finger either way;
but Elinor has some notions that you
are litter to cope with than I am.
After, if you can give me a lift with
Mrs. Hepzibah, I'll call you In. Come
on; It's getting pretty late to go visit-
ing."
Kent yielded reluctantly, and they
took a car for the sake of speed. It
was Penelope who opened the door
for them at 124 Tejon avenue: and
Ormsby made it easy for his coadjutor,
as he had promised.
"I want to see your mother in the
library for a few minutes," he began.
• Will you arrange it, and take care of
Mr. Kent, until I come for him?"
Penelope "arranged" it, not without
another added pang of curiosity,
whereupon David Kent found himself
the rather embarrassed third of a si-
lent trio gathered about the embers
of the sitting-room fire.
"Is it to be a Quaker meeting?"
asked Penelope, sweetly, when the si-
lence had grown awe-inspiring.
Kent laughed for pure joy at the
breaking of the spell.
"One would think we had come to
drag you all off to jail, Ormsby and I,"
he said; and then he went on to ex-
plain. "It's about your Western Pa-
cific stock, you know To-day's quota-
tion* put it a point and a half above
your purchase price, and we've come
to persuade you to unload, pronto, as
the member from the Rio Blanco would
say."
"Is that all?" said Penelope, stifling
a yawn. "Then I'm not in it: I'm an
infant." And she rose and went
the piano.
"You haven't told us all of it: what
has happened?" queried Elinor, speak-
ing for the first time since her greeting
of Kent.
He briefed the story of House Bill
Twenty-nine for her, pointing out the
probabiliiies-
"Not necessarily in the narrow
sense. The old knightly chivalry was
a beautiful thing in its way, and- it
gave an uplift to an age which would
have been frankly brutal without It:
yet it had its well-spring in what ap-
peals to us now as being a rather fan-
tastic sentiment."
"And we are not sentimentalists?"
she suggested.
"No; and It's the worse for us in
some respects. You will not find your
ideal politician until you find a man
with somewhat of the old knightly
spirit in him. And I'll go further and
say that when you do find him ho
will be at heart the champion of the
woman he loves rather than that of a
political constituency."
She became silent at that, and for
time the low sweet harmonies of
tho nocturne Penelope was playing
filled the gap.
He turned upon her suddenly.
"Did you mean to reproach me?" he
asked abruptly.
"How absurd!"
"No, it isn't. You are responsible
for me. In a certain sense. You sent
me out in to the world, and somehow
I feel as If I had disappointed you."
" 'But what went ye out for to
see?' " she quoted softly.
"I know," he nodded, sitting down
again. "You thought you were arous-
ing a worthy ambition, but It was only
avarice that was quickened. I've been
trying to be a money-getter."
"You can be something vastly bet-
ter."
"No. I'm afraid not; It is too late."
Again the piano-mellowed silence
supervened, and Kent put his elbows
on his knees and his face in his hands,
being very miserable. He believed
now what he had been slow to credit
before: that he had it In him to hew
his way to the end of the line if only
the motive were strong enough to call
out all the reserves of battle-might
and courage. That motive she alone,
of all the women In the world, might
have supplied, he told himself in keen
self-pity. With her love to arm him
her clear-eyed faith to inspire him
He sat up straight and
pushed the cup of bitter herbs aside.
There would be time enough to drain
It farther on.
There came the sound of a door
opening and closing, and Ormsby
stood looking in upon them.
