The sudden illness and quick death of Mrs. Georgia Morgan taken away one of our well known and beloved young women. She died last Saturday at the Methodist hospital, where she went to have an operation performed for a tumor. Mrs. Georgia Morgan, lately known as Georgia Jones, was born in Howard county, Missouri in 1864, came to Iowa in the spring of 1875, was married to Wm. Morgan Oct 4, 1883. To this union as son, Willie, was born March 19, 1885. She leaves to mourn her death a son, Willie Morgan, four brothers, Rev. Henry and Howard McCraven of Des Moines; Rev. J. S. McCraven of Fayette, Mo., James Bentley of Webster City, and two sisters, Mrs. Johnson Robinson of Des Moines and Mrs. John Giles of Howard county, Mo., beside a host of friends. She was a devoted member of the A. M. E. church, always willing to work for Christ's cause. The funeral services were held from the A. M. E. church, conducted by Rev. Graves, assisted by T. L. Griffin and Rev. Phelps, last Monday at 3 o'clock. It was a very sad funeral, as nearly all in the church shed tears. There were many flowers, reaths, etc. We in common with many other friends extend our sympathy and condolence to the relatives. HOMESEEKERS VIA WABASB.

Though Given the Opportunity, Mrs. Stanford Did Not Resent. Those who "pass the plate" in country churches are not often regaled with the glitter of gold among the contributions. It is related that about ten years ago Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford were traveling through the middle west incognito. They happened to be in Bloomington, Ind., one Sunday, and pursuant to their usual custom went to church. They attended the Christian church of Bloomington, then largely in the hands of Amzi Atwater. When the plate was passed for the collection Mrs. Stanford dropped in a $10 gold piece. Mr. Atwater was the deacon in charge of the collection-taking. It was noticed that, the ushers held a hurried conference with him when the money was taken forward. At its conclusion Mr. Atwater said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there has evidently been a mistake. Some one has dropped a $10-gold piece into the collection. If he will pass up after the services we will be glad to allow him to exchange it for the amount he intended to give." It is, of course, needless to say that Mrs. Stanford did not take advantage of the opportunity. COLORED WOMEN'S CLUB RULED OUT. The National Federation of Woman's Club of America, now holding its biennial meeting in Los Angles, Cal., has this week voted to practically exclude all the colored Woman's clubs from membership. They called it the New York compromise, which is the medium between two extreams. talented speaker. Refreshments were served at the close of the lecture. Jas. W. Cooper came over from Morrison Wednesday night for a visit of a few hours. Mrs. Washington, who has been the guest of Mrs. F. E. McNeil for the past few days, has returned to her home in Minneapolis. Rev. Jas. Roblosn of Lyons assisted Rev. Searoy Sunday with his quarterly meeting, filling the pulpit in the morning. In the afternoon Rev. Miller of the Bowman M. E. church of this city delivered a stirring sermon. Those hot head Southern women of Georgia wanted to utterly debar them, while the loyal conservative women of Massachusetts wanted perfect equality with all clubs and the universal recognition of the sister-hood of women. While it is true that there is no direct declaration of the federation, yet the amendment provides that any club which is a member of a state federation shall be eligible to membership to the general federation, if recommended by the executive board of the state federation; but when application is made to the general federation, for a club to be admitted, it must secure a unanimous vote in the committee on membership, or a two-thirds vote in the board of federation directors, if appeal is made to such board. If a club of colored women were recommended by a state federation, it still must obtain a unanimous vote in a committee, or a two-thirds vote among the directors. Those who drew this ingenious amendment anticipated that they will always be able to controle at least one third of the board of directors. The federation does not say colored women are ineligible, but elaborate machinery is set up to keep them out. The amendment as one readily sees is a compromise. We would hate to think this really represents the wish of a majority of the intelligent womee there. The noble high minded ladies are now regretting their action. Our readers well remember the Missouri compromise of 1820, the compromise before 1860, when they thought the slavery question settled. Is it possible that those women committed the same error that their fathers did fifty years ago in the light of experience. This is a question of injustice and wrong, and such question is not susceptible of any compromise, and cannot be settled until settled right. If this Woman's Federation stands for the education and broadning the sphere of woman it must not be little pigmies and say, because you are a fat woman, or because you are a little woman, or because you are a yellow, brown or black woman we wont elevate and assist you. If this is their view, short will be its life, but if it is for elevation and perfection of the American woman, if this be the ultimate object then the rule of exclusion is contradictory to its new amendment.

The campaigns chosen to illustrate it are chiefly taken from the Napoleonic wars and those of recent times. At the end of the book a chapter has been added on the effect of modern weapons upon tactics. AN OLD DOCTOR'S TIP. A Simple Rule That Helped Him to Acquire a Lucrative Practice. A physician of long standing in this city who has a practice that any of his colleagues might envy—and, many in all probability do—recently gave this advice to a young doctor who was just starting out in his profession. The older man is a type of the kind of doctor that is said to be going out of style—the family physician. Whether he is destined to disappear or not, this kind of a physician followed a highly profitable kind of career while it lasted. Many young men used to regard this sort of practice as that to which they all aspired. "I have always made it a rule," said this experienced man of medicine, "to close every visit to a patient with a question or a comment on his or her physical condition. It is all very well to discuss various questions with one's patients, talk about all kinds of subjects and interest them in any way possible. But the final remark must be connected with the patient's physical condition. Tell him not to forget to take a certain medicine regularly, or tell her that you have never had a case that was just like hers—but in all cases talk last about the illness of the person you have come to see. I learned that when I was a young man from the most popular physician of his time. I always felt indebted to him, for it was not long before I realized the truth of the theory that nothing leaves such a favorable impression on a patient as to emphasize the importance of his malady!" An Old Superstition Superstition connected with the seventh child of a seventh child is commemorated by a toaststone in a village churchyard near Bridgewater, Somerset, says the London Chronicle. This inscription runs: "Sacred to the memory of doctress Anne Pounsberry, who departed this Life December 11, 1813, aged 14 years. Stand and consider the wondrous works of God." "Doctress" was not merely an epithet, but a baptismal name, for she was a seventh daughter, and was, therefore, credited with powers of healing. She practiced in herbs and charms. For king's evil this was her prescription: "Take the legs of a toad. Bake and grind them to powder with pestle and mortar. Place the powder in a bag around the neck of the sufferer." No.48. "THE LEADER" AGAIN EXPANDS. Will Take in the Adjoining Arthur C. Hanger Room, No. 514 East Louost. The motto adopted by "The Leader" department store, 510-513 East Louost street is certainly a well chosen one, and that the history of "The Leader" store warrants the use of this phrase. "The Fastest Growing Store in Des Moines" there can be no doubt. About ten years ago "The Leader" began business in a small and unpretentious room at No. 502 East Locust street. In a few years the business had grown to such proportions that new and larger quarters were needed. "The Leader" than moved to No. 518 East Locust street, a room more than double the size of the former location, with a basement salesroom in addition. The onward march of ever increasing business soon found that location entirely inadequate to the needs of the concern and one year ago arrangements were made with the owners of the large double store building at Nos. 510 512 East Locust, where the building was to be altered and remodeled into an entirely modern and up-to-date business place for the occupancy of "The Leader." When finished, this was considered one of the most perfectly equipped and conveniently arranged store room in the Middle West, and is now known as the "Des Moines Daylight store." "The Leader" Opened For business in this building October 1, 1900—only seven months ago—and we remember of the management telling us at that time that they felt persuaded they had at last ample quarters for several years to come. But it seems that the shrewed trading public said NO, and so now the really astonishing increase in "The Leader's" business compels them after only seven months in their large store, to seek more room in order to accommodate their thousands of patrons. "The Leader" He has leased the large store room. No. 514 East Locust street, immediately adjoining and now occupied by Mr. Arthur B Hanger's jewelry store. This room is to be remodeled and equipped in keeping with the present handsome store, and will be entirely devoted to the sale of Clothing, Furnishings, Hats and Caps, Workingmen's Wear, Trunks, Valises, etc., thus giving more and much needed room in the present quarters for the proper handling of the immense lines of Dry Goods, Shoes, Millinery, Cloaks and Suits, Fancy Goods, Notions Household Supplies' etc., now carried by the concern. "The Leader" is now preparing for a preliminary "Alteration Sale" and state that they will sacrifice all present new goods in order to save them from the dust and turnoff incident to remodeling the store. We would advise a careful perusal of the announcement of this event that may appear from time to time as the sale progresses. Mr. H. Blotcky, "The Spirit of the House," kindly requests us through our columns, to respectfully thank the public for the liberal support they have giving in making this great commercial trading establishment a fact and asks a continuance of the patronage that has brought to the people such a model store, promising that with this continued support, coupled with his own perpetual vigilance, earnest endeavor, and a firm determination that "The Leader's" customers shall always have the very best goods at the very least cost, the store will soon enjoy the enviable position of being known as the best in the Central West. PUTTING DOWN THE GAMBLERS. Simple Incident That Broke Up Meeting of Moral Citizens "These games of chance," said the distinguished gentleman who was addressing the representative citizens of the strictly moral town, "cannot be tolerated in our midst." (Cries of "Good! good!") "Shall we, because a social club finds it necessary to raise money, turn our backs and permit the operation of slot machines and other gambling devices?" (Loud shouts of "No! No!") Shall we permit our sons to be lured into the wicked belief that they can be raiding a little win much?" (Cries of "Never!") "It's an outrage!" "Down with the gambler!" "Shall we—" At that instant one of the moral gentlemen happened to glance at the ticker, which had been temporarily set up under the stairway. With a blanched face he dashed in among his fellow-citizens and velled: "What's broke three-quarters and the bears have everybody on the run!" Four seconds later the meeting was over and the representative citizens of the highly moral town, who were sprinting toward the telegraph office, had forgotten that there ever was or ever might be such a thing as a social club or a slot machine or that gambling ought not to be allowed.

The sudden illness and quick death of Mrs. Georgia Morgan taken away one of our well known and beloved young women. She died last Saturday at the Methodist hospital, where she went to have an operation performed for a tumor. Mrs. Georgia Morgan, lately known as Georgia Jones, was born in Howard county, Missouri in 1864, came to Iowa in the spring of 1875, was married to Wm. Morgan Oct 4, 1883. To this union as son, Willie, was born March 19, 1885. She leaves to mourn her death a son, Willie Morgan, four brothers, Rev. Henry and Howard McCraven of Des Moines; Rev. J. S. McCraven of Fayette, Mo., James Bentley of Webster City, and two sisters, Mrs. Johnson Robinson of Des Moines and Mrs. John Giles of Howard county, Mo., beside a host of friends. She was a devoted member of the A. M. E. church, always willing to work for Christ's cause. The funeral services were held from the A. M. E. church, conducted by Rev. Graves, assisted by T. L. Griffin and Rev. Phelps, last Monday at 3 o'clock. It was a very sad funeral, as nearly all in the church shed tears. There were many flowers, reaths, etc. We in common with many other friends extend our sympathy and condolence to the relatives. HOMESEEKERS VIA WABASB.

Though Given the Opportunity, Mrs. Stanford Did Not Resent. Those who "pass the plate" in country churches are not often regaled with the glitter of gold among the contributions. It is related that about ten years ago Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford were traveling through the middle west incognito. They happened to be in Bloomington, Ind., one Sunday, and pursuant to their usual custom went to church. They attended the Christian church of Bloomington, then largely in the hands of Amzi Atwater. When the plate was passed for the collection Mrs. Stanford dropped in a $10 gold piece. Mr. Atwater was the deacon in charge of the collection-taking. It was noticed that the ushers held a hurried conference with him when the money was taken forward. At its conclusion Mr. Atwater said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there has evidently been a mistake. Some one has dropped a $10-gold piece into the collection. If he will pass up after the services we will be glad to allow him to exchange it for the amount he intended to give." It is, of course, needless to say that Mrs. Stanford did not take advantage of the opportunity. COLORED WOMEN'S CLUB RULED OUT. The National Federation of Woman's Club of America, now holding its biennial meeting in Los Angles, Cal., has this week voted to practically exclude all the colored Woman's clubs from membership. They called it the New York compromise, which is the medium between two extrems. talented speaker. Refreshments were served at the close of the lecture. Jas. W. Cooper came over from Morrison Wednesday night for a visit of a few hours. Mrs. Washington, who has been the guest of Mrs. F. E. MoNeil for the past few days, has returned to her home in Minneapolis. Rev. Jas. Robinson of Lyons assisted Rev. Nearcy Sunday with his quarterly meeting, filling the pulpit in the morning. In the afternoon Rev. Miller of the Bowman M. E. church of this city delivered a stirring sermon. Those hot head Southern women of Georgia wanted to utterly debar them, while the loyal conservative women of Massachusetts wanted perfect equality with all clubs and the universal recognition of the sister-hood of women. While it is true that there is no direct declaration of the federation, yet the amendment provides that any club which is a member of a state federation shall be elegible to membership to the general federation, if recommended by the executive board of the state federation; but when application is made to the general federation, for a club to be admitted, it must secure a unanimous vote in the committee on membership, or a two-thirds vote in the board of federation directors, if appeal is made to such board. If a club of colored women were recommended by a state federation, it still must obtain a unanimous vote in a committee, or a two-thirds vote among the directors. Those who drew this ingenious amendment anticipated that they will always be able to controle at least one-third of the board of directors. The federation does not say colored women are ineligible, but elaborate machinery is set up to keep them out. The amendment as one readily sees is a compromise. We would hate to think this really represents the wish of a majority of the intelligent womee there. The noble high minded ladies are now regretting their action. Our readers well remember the Missouri compromise of 1820, the compromise before 1860, when they thought the slavery question settled. Is it possible that those women committed the same error that their fathers did fifty years ago in the light of experience. This is a question of injustice and wrong, and such question is not susceptible of any compromise, and cannot be settled until settled right. If this Woman's Federation stands for the education and broadening the sphere of woman it must not be little pigmies and say, because you are a fat woman, or because you are a little woman, or because you are a yellow, brown or black woman we wont elevate and assist you. If this is their view, short will be its life, but if it is for elevation and perfection of the American woman, if this be the ultimate object then the rule of exclusion is contradictory to its new amendment.

The campaigns chosen to illustrate it are chiefly taken from the Napoleonic wars and those of recent times. At the end of the book a chapter has been added on the effect of modern weapons upon tactics. AN OLD DOCTOR'S TIP. A Simple Rule That Helped Him to Acquire a Lucrative Practice. A physician of long standing in this city who has a practice that any of his colleagues might envy—and, many in all probability do—recently gave this advice to a young doctor who was just starting out in his profession. The older man is a type of the kind of doctor that is said to be going out of style—the family physician. Whether he is destined to disappear or not, this kind of a physician followed a highly profitable kind of career while it lasted. Many young men used to regard this sort of practice as that to which they all aspired. "I have always made it a rule," said this experienced man of medicine, "to close every visit to a patient with a question or a comment on his or her physical condition. It is all very well to discuss various questions with one's patients, talk about all kinds of subjects and interest them in any way possible. But the final remark must be connected with the patient's physical condition. Tell him not to forget to take a certain medicine regularly, or tell her that you have never had a case that was just like hers—but in all cases talk last about the illness of the person you have come to see. I learned that when I was a young man from the most popular physician of his time. I always felt indebted to him, for it was not long before I realized the truth of the theory that nothing leaves such a favorable impression on a patient as to emphasize the importance of his malady!" An Old Superstition. Superstition connected with the seventh child of a seventh child is commemorated by a tomoste in a village churchyard near Bridgewater, Somerset, says the London Chronicle. This inscription runs: "Sacred to the memory of Doctress Anne Pounsberry, who departed this life December 11, 1813, aged 15 years. Stand and consider the wondrous works of God." "Doctress" was not merely an epithet, but a baptismal name, for she was a seventh daughter, and was, therefore, credited with powers of healing. She practiced in herbs and charms. For king's evil this was her prescription: "Take the legs of a toad. Bake and grind them to powder with pestle and mortar. Place the powder in a bag around the neck of the sufferer." No. 48. Will Take in the Adjoining Arthur G. Hanger Room, No. 514 East Locust. The motto adopted by "The Leader" Department store, 510-512 East Locust street is certainly a well chosen one, and that the history of "The Leader" store warrants the use of this phrase. "The Fastest Growing Store In Des Moines" there can be no doubt there can be no doubt. About ten years ago "The Leader" began business in a small and unpretentious room at No. 509 East Locust street. In a few years the business had grown to such proportions that new and larger quarters were needed. "The Leader" then moved to No. 518 East Locust street, a room more than double the size of the former location, with a basement salesroom in addition. The onward march of ever increasing business soon found that location entirely inadequate to the needs of the concern and one year ago arrangements were made with the owners of the large double store building at Nos. 510 519 East Locust, whereby the building was to be altered and remodeled into an entirely modern and up-to-date business place for the occupancy of "The Leader." When finished, this was considered one of the most perfectly equipped and conveniently arranged store room in the Middle West, and is now known as the "Des Moines Daylight store." "The Leader" Opened For business in this building October 1, 1900—only seven months ago—and we remember of the management telling us at that time that they felt persuaded they had at last ample quarters for several years to come. But it seems that the threwed trading public said NO, and so now the really astonishing increase in "The Leader"s business compels them after only seven months in their large store, to seek more room in order to accommodate their thousands of patrons. "The Leader" Has leased the large store room, No. 514 East Locust street, immediately adjoining and now occupied by Mr. Arthur B. Hanger's jewelry store. This room is to be remodeled and equipped in keeping with the present handsome store, and will be entirely devoted to the sale of Clothing, Furnishings, Hats and Caps, Workingmen's Wear, Trunks, Vallises, etc., thus giving more and much needed room in the present quarters for the proper handling of the immense lines of Dry Goods, Shoes, Millinery, Cloaks and Suits, Fancy Goods, Notions Household Supplies' etc., now carried by the concern. "The Leader" is now preparing for a preliminary "Alteration Sale" and state that they will sacrifice all present new goods in order to save them from the dust and turmoil incident to remodeling the store. We would advise a careful perusal of the announcement of this event that may appear from time to time as the sale progresses. Mr. H. Blotcky, "The Spirit of the House," kindly requests us through our columns, to respectfully thank the public for the liberal support they have giving in making this great commercial trading establishment a fact and asks a continuance of the patronage that has brought to the people such a model store, promising that with this continued support, coupled with his own perpetual vigilance, earnest endeavor, and a firm determination that "The Leader's" customers shall always have the very best goods at the very least cost, the store will soon enjoy the enviable position of being known as the best in the Central West. PUTTING DOWN THE GAMBLERS. Simple Incident That Broke Up Meeting of Moral Citizens "These games of chance," said the distinguished gentleman who was addressing the representative citizens of the strictly moral town, "cannot be tolerated in our midst." (Cries of "Good! good!") "Shall we, because a social club finds it necessary to raise money, turn our backs and permit the operation of slot machines and other gambling devices?" (Loud shouts of "No! No!") Shall we permit our sons to be lured into the wicked belief that they can be raking a little win much?" (Cries of "Never!") "It's an outrage!" "Down with the gamblers!" "Shall we——" At that instant one of the moral gentlemen happened to glance at the ticker, which had been temporarily set up under the stairway. With a blanched face he dashed in among his fellow-citizens and yelled: "Wheat's broke three-quarters and the bears have everybody on the run!" Four seconds later the meeting was over and the representative citizens of the highly moral town, who were sprinting toward the telegraph office, had forgotten that there ever was or ever might be such a thing as a social club or a slot machine or that gambling ought not to be allowed.

So he strofied up and down, nursing fa clgar and keeping close to the line of carrlazes, ‘A singular thing happened, which gave Paul cause for much speculation Inter on, Glancing down the line, he saw 2 ‘woman's hedd projected suddenly from the window of a first-class carriage. It was so quickly withdrawn, and Somehow he was under the Impression that the sight of him so near at hand had been the cause of Its disappear- ance, More than this, Rhinelander was al- most ready to take his oath that he had seen something familiar about the head, In fact, he had good cause to belleve the party was no other than the Coun- ‘ess Almee, When he walked slowly past the compartment he found the shade drawn down and all dark within, 60 that he could discover no confirmation of }uis suspicion. At any rate, it gave him food for shonght. He really needed something of the sort to take his mind away from his troubles, which at times threatened to overwhelm him. All aboard again, and they were off. Paul saw no reason to regret his lit- tle saunter, aince, besides giving him an opportunity to enjoy a good cigar {in the open alr, it had also settled his convictions regarding his fellow trav- clers, and at the same time opened his eyes to the possible presence of the countess. Several times, from the adjoining ‘compartment, had come the sound of a graff laugh, and there was something very famillar about its genial nature, though Paul could not manage to just place it. He wondered whether these men meant bim fil or if he had drawn large- Jy upon his tmaginatlou in thinking so. ‘They appeared to have settled down and were all locked in Morpheus’ arms somehow the air seemed to grow heavler, and Paul's resistance of less avall, until finally, halt way between midnight and dawn, he crossed the borderland of sleep. ‘OHAPTER XU.

No doubt the other was surprised to hear an English voice address him, but under the conditions he did not ask any explanation until his limbs had been extrieated from thelr pre- dicament. “Any serfous damage, Sir Noel?” asked Paul, seeing the other make a cursory examination. “Thank heaven, [ have come out better even that I might have expect- ed. A beastly piece of business, Isn't it? But you seem to know me—we have met somewhere. I am glad to shake your hand and thank you for the help you gave." As he did 80, he leaned forward, en- deavoring to see Paul's face. “f am Paul Rhinelander—we met under pecullar conditions at Heldel- berg,” Paul sald, quietly. ‘The big Briton squeezed his hand ‘some more. “By Jove! You eut out some brave ‘work for us—thirteen stitches, my boy, {t took to cover that fellow's cheek. A rate mark he'll carry for life. Glad to meet you again, doubly glad to be under obligations, But I may be the only doctor at hand. See you later, my boy.” He hurried off to where a fre was burning, and in which quarter they were carrying the injured as fast as rescued from the wreck. Just then a shriek from feminine lunge somewhere in the distance re- minded Paul of what he had seen. ‘Was the Countess Almee on the train, as he had some reason to be- lieve? He hurried to the carriage where he remembered having seen her, but when he looked the nest was empty. ‘A man with a lantern rendered him some assistance, since by the ald of the light he discovered cettain articles in the snug nest so recently occupied by a lady as served to prove her iden- tity. ‘Then his suspicions were not over- drawn, and she had been the genius whose hand manipulated the strings by which he had been trapped. ‘The accident had, unfortunately, taken place at a lonely part of the road and this assistance could uardly come before dawn. Curiosity caused Paul to draw closer to the fire and survey the groups near by. He was searching for the countess, and though the women were hardly in ‘a condition to appear presentable, still Paul belleved he could have recognized the adventuress in any guise. To his surprise he failed to discover her! Then he turned to make iquit- ies of Sir Noe!, and in this way dis- cover the truth; int before he reach- ed the doctor, the female assistant, who was flitting about lke an angel of merey, binding up wounds and car- rying water to parched lips, came be- tweer bis eyes, and the biazing fire, ‘and Paul was stunned to discover In this tender-hearted” sister of charity the woman he had Jooked upon as a cold-blooded adventures, Countess Aimee, ‘The sight of the countess in the role of charity gave Paul a queer sensation he had seen her rope in the dupes In Paris, men with titles and fortunes falling into her net galore, but this ‘was a new feature which he had never reamed could exist in her nature. It only went to show that she was a woman after all, with a tender heart Deneath the. exterior—perhaps, had fortune been more kindly in surround- ing her with luxury she might have been a blessing rather than a curse to mankind. At any rate Paul found himself con- doning her taults and feeling. more charitably disposed toward her. She had seen and recognized him, and instantly came to his side. “The doctor told me you were wn- hurt,” she sald, and he knew then that his safety had been upon her mind while she worked. “T regret to tell you that obe of your friends has vanished and the other has a broken leg—possibly you have found ‘him yonder,” he remarked. She did not blush at all, but simply laughed. “Yes, I have attended to him. He groans horribly and has not the nerve of a child. No doubt you condemn me for using such heroic measures to accomplish my purpose, but I am a be- Mever In the adage that the end justl- fles the means. You know that which may ruin me should it come out, and 1 am surely at Iberty to defend my- self, Besides—I had other reasons for my actions." Paul knew what she meant, and his old feeling of repulsion came back. ‘Such determination appalled him— was It possible to escape from the clutches of this wonderful woman ‘once she set her mind upon bis cap- ture? ‘A less stubborn man might have ylelded to what he was pleased to call ‘the inevitable, but Paul was saved Innocent If will be necessary to ptacc ‘the blame Just where It belougs. “You ‘understand what that means.

Handsome Faces Found Among Women Of the Five Tribes. ‘Women of the five tribes of the In- @ian Teritory, also of a number 0: tribes of Okiahoma and Kansas, arc highly civilized and educated. Fur- ther south are several remnant tribes who have accepted the manners of thelr paletace neighbors, and among these people social life is Indeed quite lively. Many of the belles of the five tribes of the Indian Territory are of quarter, sixteenth or thirty-second Indian blood, but the red strain dominates in all cases, and while it may not show In color, it holds good in the molding of the face, the color of the har and eyes or the Uialect of the tongue. How- ever, among them are many blondes, whose golden hair and soft blue eyes appeal in strong terms to one’s sense of beauty.

More than one celebrated personage was actually born after the burial ot Is own mother, as the following au- theutic incidents will amply attest: Ebenezer Erskine, one of the foun- ders of the United Presbyterian church of Scotland, was born after the burial fof his mother. Mra, Erskine was bur- fea tn a trance, and on one of her fingers was a valuable ring. The gravedigger knew of thls, opened the coffin, and was in tho act of cutting off the ring-boaring finger when Mrs. Ers- icine awoke with a ory.

Lel- cester Ford had built at 27 East Sey- -enty-seventh street, and bad occupied for about a year, At the time of the shooting there was in the house, besides the two brothers, Mrs, Patil Lelcester Ford, Miss Ellzabeth R, Hall, the novelist’s secretary, and tue servants. The nov- elist_ was sitting at his desk in one corner of his ubrary on the second floor. Miss Hall was at her desk in anoth- er corner of the room. Malcom Ford called as he had often done, any went 10 lis brother at the desk, Words Were exchanged in a tone so low that Miss Hall could not hear what was said, Buddenly there was a revolver shot and Miss Hall, jumping up, dart- ed from the room. ' Malcom Ford had called her and as she turned towards him he placed the revolver to his heart, fired and feil, dying instantly. When Miss Hall turned to look at Paui he was still standing at his desk, but rapidly losing strength, She helped him {0 a sofa and summoned a phy- sician, who arrived In less than five minutes. He -ound Mr. Ford uncon- scfons and he lived but twenty min- tes It is said that there was enmity be- tween the two brothers, and conse- quently bitterness and that it was of eloyen years standing; that ever since the death of thelr father they haye not heen on intimate or brotherly terms, ‘This alleged enmity on the part of Malcom is safd to have been brought alout by the fact that the father of the boys disinherited him.

Unhappy is the man for whom his own mother has not made all other mothers venerable. It is poor wit who lives by borrowing the words, decisions, mein, inventions and actions of others. What an absurd thing it is to pass over the valuable parts of a man, and fix our attentions on his infirmities. Virtue will catch as well as vice by contact; and the public stock of honest, manly principle will daily accumulate. A greater value should be set on having received instructive and useful lessons than of possessing great store of wealth; for the latter is transitory good, the former is durable. There is scarcely a generalization for one sex which does not apply equally to the other, so perfectly alike in nature are men and women. The difference is only in circumstances.

Those who observe the custom always go to the beehives and tap gently on each one, then stoop and whisper under the cap or lid that Mary, Jane, Thomas or William is dead. This is done to keep the little honey makers from forsaking their place of abode should they have to wait and find out the news of the calamity themselves The custom is alluded to in Whittier poem "Telling the Bees."
