Very F- ntittl Point.
Mrs. Chloe Jason, u "laundress and
charlady," as the si-.m in front of her
residence declares, lvp >rted a few days
l?o at police hca :quarters that her
husband Ulam .Jason, had Suddenly dis
appeared.

tively, "ef dey Linn'd m. kilt him, 'n1

Acting upon advice of the desk ser-
geant the "ciin:- .dy" charged her
Causing- spouse vith non-support and
Je^crtion, and the officers were in-
structed to 11 nd him. lie fore an hour
had passed a . diminutive, wrinkled,
black and crook-leafed darky ran into
the station with terror depicted upon
his countenance. Giving the name ol
Ulam Juson he begped that he be lock-
id up at once.
When the case w is called on the fol-
V>wing morning Mrs. Jason, who is a
woman of vast proportions, tall, broad,
round, fat, and a most decided bru-
nette even for an African, took the
wtand and tearfully recited her crit •
oism upon the conduct of Ulam.
"Dat nigger, jedge," she said, as sht
•cowled upon the prisoner, "aiu* no

Here tears overcame her and she
■wa ved her body back and forth, while
a female friend, who accompanied her,
applied soothing words to her spiritual
wounds.
"Jedge, dat oomati mommucked me
jamby ter def," interjected Ulam.
This remark stirred up the prosecut*
ting witness, 'so that she promptly re*
fumed:
"Yaas, jedge, I did lam him; I h* fitei

The evidence, as it progressed, plain*

TREATMENT OF A SON.
Sympathy aa Necessary for Him an for *
Daughter.
Many a life has been ruined by (fie
unrighteous domination of parents.
Train your son for the exercise of his
own judgment and the assertion of his
own well-developed will. Give him your
sympathy and treat his opinions with
respect. Are they not the outgrowth
ef your education? It is probably sel-
dom that a parent is entirely satisfied,
in the secret of his heart, with the
jhoice his son or daughter makes. He
would have perfection, and values his
child's deserts too highly. Remember-
ing this you should be most careful not
to wound a sensitive spirit by lack of
the cordial anji affectionate welcome,
Tor which she has a right to look, who
aas given her heart and life into the
keeping of the son, well-prepared or
ill-prepared by you for the sacrod task.
Butsuppose allyour preventive meas-
ures have failed, and the choice has
been made which seems mistaken and
disastrous, will you shut your heart tc
your son and turn his heart from you
in the time of his peril? A thousand
times no! Your love must not fail him
then, but with desperate eagerness
•trive to win the confidence of his wife
and save him and his home. I know a
home, which, though it promised little
good, is growing better and better be
cause the parents of a wayward son
have been geutle, and patient, and
loving toward him and his wife, al-
though she was far from their ideal.
"He made his bed, let him lie in It," is
an nn-Christian proverb. If his bed is
Ill-made help him to rise and make it
better. Love—patient, pure, self-deny-
ing, pervading, enfolding love—may re
deem * child even from his own mis-
takes.
A true son comes closer to a parent's
heart when he is a true lover and a true
husband. The love which, when it has
other outlets, fails in filial devotion is
very shallow. The heart by loving
gains power to love, and a man's devo
tion to his father and mother will in-
crease in proportion to his devotion to
his wife. It is a poor proverb, at least
in its first statement, which says:
"A son Is a son till he get him a tTifo,'
A daughter's a daughter to tho end or her life "
Many a wife will testify that she has
found her husband's love for her deej>
ening year by year as his heart turned
with increasing tenderness and solici-
tous affection to his parents, and man?
a mother has realized that she and her
•on have been growing nearer and
dearer to each other since he became a
husband.—Mrs. Lvman Abbott, in
Ladies' Home Journal.
A Fault in Piano Playing.
A well-known piano teacher says that
one of the most common faults in piano
playing is the practice of playing the
two hands out of time with each other
Nine players out of ten permit the left
hand to lead the right, when the two
should strike the keys simultaneously.
It is a sort of swagger that produces a
very inartistic effect. Of course there
are rare cases where this dilatorinessoi
the right hand may be legitimate, but
it should be remembered that in g«n-
•ral it is reprehensible and should ba
carefully avoided. If the composer in-
dicates the simultaneous performance
of the notes belonging to the two
hands, let not the slightest discrepancy
be manifest. To play the two hands
out of time with each other is to be nok
i>nly inaccurate, but to appear affected.
Shallow players resort to such devices
to cover up the lack of ability to play
with expression. It takes the place ol

b
oklahoma statehood bill.
General Wheeler, of Alabama, Intro-
duces a Measure—Features of
the Bill
Washington, Deo. 7.—(Special )
Qoueral Wheeler, of Alabama, comes
to the front again with an Oklahoma
statehood bill. The general's bill on
this sulij .'Ct last fession was reported
favorably by the committee of which
he was clmirmin By the new bill
ii is proposed to make a state out of
tho couutry now comprising the ter-
ritory of Oklahoma. A constitutional
convention of Beventy five is provided,
the members being elected on an ap-
portionment made by the governor,
chief justice and secretary; the con
vention to be neld or the sixth
Thursday after tbe passage of the
act. The sum of 130,000 is appro-
priated to bear the expenses. Two
membors of congress are provided
for until the next general census.
Lands set apart in the territory for
educational institutions ate reserved
for the same Institutions In tbe state
The st ile is to comprise one Judicial
distric", with a full corps of officials,
As Mr. Wheeler Is a prominent
democratic leader In congress, and
stats chairman of the commitUe on
territories, it is to be presumed
that liU action reflicts the policy off
hiii party. An expiation would seem
to be in order from Niblack, Ron
flow, Blakeney and other moss back
statesmen of the territory.
The Times-Journal has alway
held and still holds that the creation
of a state out of the area now com
prised in the territory of Oklahoma
would be a permanent and irreparable
injury to all of the industries in which
our peoplo are engaged excepting
that of politics.

reservation an i to the relatives of Sec-
retary Smith, who are favored l y em-

"Wberejis, The United States ac-
quired title to what Is conimr 'f

by tbe proclamation of the president
by the United States, and
Wd*r«as, By thatact, appropriation
made for the appointment of al<
lotlng agents to allot the Indians of
said band or tribe such lands as they
were entitled to ulg ir said agreement $
and
"Wnefcas, Tho honorab'csecretary
of the Interior tills, for reasons but
known to hluisel, failed to appoint
slid agents to so allot said landt)
and
Whereas, It Is for the best interett
of the general government, as well as
the territory of Oklahoma and the
people who desired to aequlre land
upon said reservation, that said allot-
rneut should have .been speedily made
and the said surplus lands opened iu
homestead settlement; and
Whereas, Prolonged aud unneces-
sary a el ay has attended thcallotment

be It
"Resolved, By the house of rep-
resentatives, that tbe secretary of tho
interior is hereby directed to report
to this house With all convenient
speed:
First—The reasons and causes
operating to delay the appointment
of allotiug agents and the allotting
of said lands to said Indians.
Second—Whether any of his
connection, by blood or marriage, or
the relation of his wife, by blood or
marriage, is acting ai attorney for
said Iudiaus, or any party or parties
interested in said reservation, or in-
terested in delaying the opening of
the same to settlement."
A second resolution provides for
the appointment of a committee of
five members of the house to investi-
gate the official rottenness and crook-
edness of alfairs in Oklahoma, and
also gives power to the committee to
look into strip opening frauds and
other crimes of like nature that have
been committed against the people of
Oklahoma
The resolutions were referri d n

Mr. Flynn also put in his "free
homes" bill, a copy of which has
been furnished in these dispatches,
and also introduced a bill to dispose
of the Indian territory. In this bill
it is provided that townsite lands be
9old at 110 per acre; that each adult
Indian ba given an allotment of 1601
acres, and those under the age of 2.1
to get eighty acres each, the re-
mainder to be sold at 11 per acre

tions.
