f-adge Clayton rendered a de.
ilsion at South McAlester jester-
lay against the collection of the
2tioctaw and Chickasaw tribal tax
in' merchants. The court bad
ouie time previously granted a
ltaporary injunction restraining

nterior department's revenue col-
ector from closing the stores ami
spelling from the nation the mer-
sbants declining to pay the tribal
m. On a motion for the dissolut-
ion of this temporary restraining
irJar the case came up for ex-
amination in extenso resulting as
thted.
;Tbe chief contension was that
he court had do jurisdiction to
eview or obstruct the workings
if the secretary of the interior. On
jfais proposition Judge Clayton
la J this to eay:
"I am aware that the powers

ACTION DEMANDED.
An Injustice that Should Be Corrected
By Authorities.
Wnat would appear on its face
to be a case for the exercise of dis
cretion or authority by the Dawes
Commission in 'he interent of a
minor baa just b-en learned of. A
citizen filed allotments for hirnseli
and minor chilfren reserving m
consiclerahle portiun of his bi-si
land for two grown daughters
Tbey decided to tak their all .t
meets elsewhere and so tbe main
field ( f th place was old or dis-
posed of it- some raaoner to
another man to file on. The major
portion of ths allotment of oue of
tbe original owner's smaller chit
dren is practically worthless. while
a good piece of laud gon out ol
tbe family Thus by a com bin
tion of circumstances a CberoSn
child is deprived of its just rights
and it would stem uot to b j im
proper for the authorities to can
eel tbe filings and correct a glar-
ing injustice.
PAT'S FIRST THOUGHT.
Tbat the Ilorura Ouuht to Be Able tm
Outrua the Masr and He Made
Them Do It.
Back in the good eld lay whea
Ben e aud railroads w ere little know a
an old tage road ran from Lake
CLamplaic to Ogdentburg X. Y.'pata
leg through the little town of Sodom.
Thi village uefctled in a valiey between
two great hils over which the whii
ribbon of the road wound i-teeply ay
Lippincott'g.
Upon one of the trips of the toj?
the repular driver who had been at
tome for some weeks recovering from
an ii'ness. was ridii.jr .n-ide while the
red-haired n;i:d-featiirpl bitr-bimid
Ii i.-hin.'in ni tinir as his substitute (rf-cu-pit
d the drmr" fctot upon the bnx.
The. day was a beautiful oi e and the
paftng-ens win- en.ioyir.tr their drive
keenly. tldr pjeJ;tl. InereBeicir as
the ditant-e lfhei!:U between thm
and the town of Sodom wi!h if prom-
taed pause for refreihmert. .
Puddonly. the hiavv Hate lum
bered over the brow of the hiil down
whii-h th? road iiltins-ed at a sharp
r.L'le. runi.lRir throuirh the little town
t its fo-t and nseeudirifr the kill be-
Tond the pas"-ns-r became conscloua
that tlieir j. act- had been p'ckli-ssiy in-
creased. Faster and faster they went
d.T-hirii.' down the hi!l at a rate rapidly
becomiiijr a furions one. Tries and
bti.-ho at laft became but a dizzying
blur alorsr the road. All clur.p to the
ree'inc ftace and held their breath in
terrior. while on the ttase raced down
the hill w ith ever-ir.creainp speed into
the town. paM tte hostelry with the
waitirtr boft left etandir.gr in amaze
at the door past the pott office with-
out paut-e. and out upon the road lead-
Infr up the f;ce nf the hiil beyond.
There the pace slackened and as the in
cline crew more teep nt last
the i
mokinp korsff came to a stards.ti'1.
With one accord the dazed pasterceri
tumbled out and surrounded the driv-
er who row- stood at the head of k!a
reeking leaders.
"What is it Tat? What is it? Pid
they pet away from you?" came the
breathless questions.
"Xope" replied Fat with a set face
"it wor that." pointing grimly before
him. There lay the stasre-toneue
dracirlr.fr uselessly on the ground nt
the heel of the horses and completely
severed from ihe coach. At a glance
the regular driver comprehended the
meaning rf the danger to -which the
passengers of that s.tacc. deprived of
its sole mean of guidance had beeD
exposed and. realizing tlw? miracle of
their escape. he turned sick and fainted!
where he stood.
Later back at the inn when the ex-
citement had somewhat subsided and
fresh horses were being put to the re-
pairel foach. sotr.eone turned to Tat
and asked:
"Fat. wha was your first thought
when ihe pole dropped?"
"Well. s'r." he answered settling
the quid more comfortably in hia
cheek "me furst thoueht wor 'Lord
ha' mercy in our sowls!" Thin thinka
I to myself. 'D n a horse that can't
outrun a w.-ifror.V and I licked the
poor divils all th' way down the hill'."
WHOLESOME SALADS.
It ii lea for Ihe inlili- of Th l'
- lolllafed Iuto the Art ol Pre-
paring Them.
To dress a salad imt the lettuce
chicory i r whatner vegetable is to be
ustd. perfectly washed dried chilled
and with each leaf separated into a
falad birwl larpe er.Miph to hold it
wilhout bi uisii.p the crisp leaflets. It
Si larpe plats bi wl can lie proxiJtd it
adtis much to the beauty f a salad
says Good Honst kt epii p. Serve en S
silver trav with tle c il aud viccirsr
cruets salt and pepper and- a salad
fork and spoon.
Always remember one rule; the oil
inufct be poured first on the Balad. If
the leaves are first wet with the vine-
gar the oil will not adhere but run to
the bottom of 1 he bowl making a talad
which tastes only of vinegar pepper
and salt. For this same reason the let-
tuce must be perfectly dry; if wet the
oil will not coat it properly.. Set the
lettuce or chickory in a bowl looking
as if the head were slill entire but with
each leaf iepr.i ated. Hold a salad spoon
over the bowl; into it shake some pep-
per and salt then iill the spoon with
oil. Allow tli is to sprinkle over the let
tnce; toss the leaves lightly till they
thine. Add two more tablespoonf uls
of oil tossing again with gentle hand-
ling. Itun the spoon and fork dow n the
tides of the dish and lift the salad with
an upward movement letting it mix aa
it falls back. Afterward sprinkle with
two tablespoonfuls of vinegar then
f erve. The proportions of oil and vine-
gar may be varies to suit the taste.
Four parts of oil to one of vinegar
is liked by b vers of oil.
A very delicate flavor may be impart-
ed to a plain green salad by rubbing
the inside of the salad bow 1 with half a
cut onion or sprinkling the lettuce
with finely cut chives. II the faintest
possible flavor of garlic; is liked make
what the French c-iill a chapon. Rub a
cut garlic over a cube of stale bread
and toss it with the salad while dress-
ing it
