)f HOW TO BE COUNTED.
T '
(Persons Away From Home
May Be Missed
. The count of the people in the
i United States will begin in all
) parts of the country June 1 and
' end in the cities two weeks later
and in the rest of the 'country be-
j fore the close of the month. The
' people are to be counted at their
i place of residence but as many
persons and families will be away
from their homes during June
there is some danger that such
nernnna will nnt be counted. If
I they are not counted the locality
in which they live will be mierep-
I resented to that extent and in
S' some cases this misrepresentation
I may be enough to effect the repre-
eentation in congresa of the etate
from which they dime. Local
pride and state pride should in-
fluence all absentees to take reas-
onable precautions against being
omitted from enumeration iu their
places of residence. Such ommis-
sions are most lkely to occur in
wlarge cities where families close
f 'their homes and go elsewhere for
the summer. The occurance of the
" Paris exposition this year is likely
to increase the number absent
(mm !h rmiintrv. I
In case of contemplated absence
the head of the family is requested
by the census office to communi-
! cate with W. H. Darrough the
i supervisor of census for this dis-
district. He is also urged to Jeave
js information regarding his answers
' to the questions which are to be
asked with some responsible
neighbor who will agree to see
' that it reaches the enumerator on
- his round. Such information
might better be left 88 a memor-
andum in writing as in that case
it is less likely to be overlooked.
- The questions to which answers
are desired apply primaiily to the
population but also to all farms
' and manufacturing establishments.
! Theyare being published from time
to time iu the press of the country.
By taking this trouble the absent
1 citizen will do justice to his local-
ity and his state and materially
aid the census office in the per
formance of its duties.

WHO'S LOST A SCALP?
A Relic of Indian Warfare Found Near
Claremore Recently.
Mr. Reno who recently moved
to a house about four miles south
of Claremore found a few articles
which had been left by the prev-
ious occupant. Among them was
an old pillow which was emptied
and on stirring the contents a
scalp was found which many years
ago may have adorned the head of
some famous warrior. The dis-
covery is attracting considerable
attention for noting of the kind is
known to exist in this section and
to nearly everyone is a great curi-
osity. Nothing is known as to the
ownership and it is supposed it
was bidden and the hiding place
afterward forgotten. Claremore

Grand river was killed by a mule.
The young man had been plow-

tion is that be got on the mule and
started home but when the mule
came up the boy was found en-

FAVORABLE TO THE TREATY.
Oood Prospect of It Ratification Be-
fore Adjournment. -
A letter from Judge Springer
dated May 18th states that the
senate and house committees have
been considering the Cherokee
agreement for several day and
have gone through all of it but a
few sections at the close. The
committee were expected to finish
Saturday morning and then hear-
ing on the controverted points
would be permitted. Although
the session is drawing rapidly to a
close the prospect seems favorable
for the ratification of both the
Cherokee and Creek treaties.
SHE KNEW HOW TO WRITE
A.k4 the Editor for HI Oplatom
aad Thea Was Sot
SatUBrd.
The average editor experience! a
thrill of keen delight when nc meets
one of those modest unassuming' per-
10ns who simply "write a little" them-
selves. The delight is Intensified if
ticsa Ellots and Thackerays In en-
bryo import this information hi low-
roiced confidence with the fVtner in-
formation that they "wouldn't hav
it known for all tjie world." In most
cases the editor feels quite safe In
promising them that the general pub-
lic will nsver know anything about It.
He wishes thpt he might be as ignorant
of this knowledge as the general pub-
lic. ' '
Jfy friend Wank is such nn editor.
He is one of the blunt straightfor-
ward sort of men. much given to tell-
ing the truth and alilioninjj anything
thai savors of "luntinfr around the
Imsh." He is a terror to those persons
who "write a little" and who Ijeg-
him to tell them "the exact truth"
ahout their productions.
I sat behind u screen in hi office
the other day when there came a timid
little knock on the door and J'.'.ink
roarrd out: "Come in!" in a voice
that cracked the plastirinfr. A tin. id
girli-di little tl.insr of 4 or 45 years
fluttered in.
"1r this Mr. r.lank'.'" Fhc aed.
"Yes'm!"

"Do eh?"
"Oh yes; Just a very very little bit.
It is all bo crude and poor that I hardly
dare show it to anybody. Beully It la
too foolish in me to try even; but
somehow I just can't help it. It just
seems to me that I must write. I'd giva
worlds If I could write as .you do.
Would you be willing to tell rat exact
ly what you think of some of my poof
little scribbling my brain children
as I love to call them?"
"Got 'em with-ou?"
"Yes: just one or two foolish little
fiiicles that I dashed off In aH Idle
hour. I know jiwt how crude and poor
they are."
"Let me see them."
"You'll tell me exactly what jum
think?"
"Exactly!"
"Thanks; It is best that I know the
truth."
Blank reads the "foolish little fan-
cies" I peep out and see a triumphant
mile on the author's face. Blank
hands back the verses.

"Tl tt the exact truth."
'Sir!- . '
''TneTe is no poeI7 ln them."
"Sir you shall answer for this!"
"You begfed me to tell the truth.
"I did not beg you to vent your petty
jealousy and spleen over verses of
which you are manifestly jealous. I
pity you! I supposed sir that you
were incapable of such envy and mal-
ice and that you were always ready
to do honor to real talent. But I see
1 am mistaken. Remember sir that
Hie verses are not offered for sale. In-
