THE WOMAN WITH A FLAT CHEST Quite Easy to Have a Good Figure in These Days of Advanced Physical Culture. VOL. 24. NO. 3. The fat-chested woman is out of style these days. She cannot wear a lingerie waist; she looks ugly in an empire; she is out of place in everything she puts on, for this is the season of the full-busted woman. Hips may be slender, but busts are round. The proportions for the well-built woman of this autumn are these: The waist shall be a full 27 inches. This waist will be a dip in front and the slight lifting of the back counting from the dip of the front to the high curve of the back is 27 inches. The bust must measure 38 inches. If a woman is built upon very slight lines she may have a 36-inch bust. But this is too small to be, what is known as a good figure. Thirty-eight inches is a very much better propor THE BALL Arm Exercise for Bust Development. tion. Most of the handsome, ready-made waists are constructed upon a 38-inch model. The hips—as hips are slender this season—may be from 40 to 43. But a woman must be tall and her bust must be full for these hips. These require movements there is no getting away from. Unless she is built this way she cannot look as nice as she otherwise would look. The narrow-chested woman must go to work to increase her bust measurement. This is quite an easy task in these days of advanced physical culture. It does not take a great while to build out the figure. It can be done in six weeks, if the physical cultureists are correct; and the woman who is so flat that she looks ugly in a sleeveless, can have a nice plump, round face in less than three months, if she is to work at it. For it does require work and quite hard work at that. Exercises to Increase the Bust. The woman with a thin neck and a flat chest should take the early morning breathing exercises. Nothing could be more important. The thing is to go to the window the first thing in the morning and throw it wide open. No matter what the weather. Exercise will keep you warm. The throat and neck and chest exercises are four number. Regularly practiced, they will chest, increase the lung capacity, make the throat pretty and better the health. The first is the arm movement. This develops the bust and decreases the hips, both at the same time. Put on something very loose in the arms, stand in front of the window and lift your hands very high. Imagine that you are saluting the rising-sun. Extend your arms in front of you and gradually lift them, keeping your thumbs together until you are standing with your hands over your head. Lower them in the same manner, not unlocking your thumbs unless you are compelled to do so. The flying movement with the arms are fine for the abdomen. They bring your chest and take the fat off the waist line. Extend your hands in front of you on a level with your chest. Saw the air with your arms, carrying them around until they nearly touch your back. Try the motion again and again, doing your task to make your hands meet. You will probably not succeed, but the exercise is excellent for your laugh. The third of the motions for the development of the chest is the head motion. Lower your chin, it lift it back, all the time the sawing the air with your arms. Throw your chin up, cut the air with your hands, draw your head forward and lift your arms over your head. The idea is to open the lungs and to develop the muscles of the neck and chest. The fourth exercise for bust development is deep breathing. But this is so important that it stands in a class by itself. Deep breathing is the salvation of the woman with a poor figure. It is the best of all exercises for her, for it will develop the chest, reduce the hips and abdomen and increase her appetite. Before You Try Deep Breathing. The woman with a weak heart should not take to do deep breathing unless she does so gradually. She should take it up, little by little, and with all moderation. But the thin chested woman can go into it, feeling that it will do her a world of good. To breathe deeply, so as to get the best results from the exercise, a woman should have a good roof or a large open window. In breathing, the mouth is opened wide and a full draught of fresh air is taken in. Then the mouth is closed and the air is expelled through the nostrils. There are those who advocate deep breathing through the nostrils alone. The mouth is closed and the air is drawn into the lungs. It is then expelled in the same manner. The abdomen and rib muscles help in the drawing in and expelling the air. Those who learn deep breathing are not apt to forget it; it becomes part of your life. The woman who is thin in the chest and big in the waist can take a lesson of the West Point cadets. They are marvelously wide in the chest and very slender in the hip line. They stand erect, with their shoulders back and chest extended. When the breast is exposed, the abdomen breathes. Each breath is low and deep. And as they walk they square lightly, lightly and easily, keep THEATRE The Straight Full Figure of the Indian Squaw. ing the chest out and the abdomen drawn in. There is a rib exercise which is practiced in a fat woman's gymnasium. The hands are rested upon the ribs and the patient takes full breaths, expanding the ribs. In a little while she finds her chest growing fuller, while the fat upon her ribs grows that makes her arm feel much stronger in lung power. Food for Chest Development. The woman who wants to have a nice, round throat and a full chest must eat certain things. These are of the sort that do not increase the waist line, but do develop the bust. Chocolates, some cereals, game and hot breads a reputation for increasing the bust development without adding to the weight. Milk, on the contrary, makes a woman fat. Red wines, if they are not against one's principles, improve the figure. And there are green foods that seem to make one fuller in the chest without adding to the belt line.

SUBMARINE CABLE'S ENEMY. Little Creature of the Sea That Is Fond of Gutta-Percha or of Gutta Perca. The vicissitudes of a submarine cable are many, may be torn by an anchor, crushed by a coral, or seriously damaged by a coral reef* abroad in the tropics. Some of the growths often found on a cable tend gradually to decay the iron sheathing wires. Then, again, a cable is sometimes severed by a seaquake. It may be fatally attacked by the snout of a sawfish or by the spike of a swordfish. But perhaps the little animal that makes itself most objectionable from the cable engineer's standpoint is the insignificant looking teredo navals. This little bear is intensely greedy where gutta percha is concerned, working its way between the iron wires and between the serving yarns. The silica in the outer cable compound tends to defeat the teredo's efforts at making a meal off the core, and this defeat is further effected by the core being enveloped in a thin layer. But where the bottom is known to be badly infected with these little monsters of the deep the insulator is often composed of india rubber, which has no attraction for the teredo and possesses a toughness, moreover, which is less suited for its boring tool than the comparatively cheeselike gutta percha. From one cause or another faults occur in most cables from time to time. These require to be electrically localized from the cable testing kit and a ship sent out to the supposed position to grapple for the line, pick it up and effect the necessary repairs. When the cable has really been grappled, the erosion which may entail several weeks or even months, if only in waiting for favorable weather—the bight is secured at the bows and afterward cut. Each end is then brought on boat alternately and tested electrically. If found to be sound the necessary repairs are then effected. Swarms or Locusts in Philippines. The natives of the Philippines are having a hard time trying to beat down the plague of locusts. In Panay have come and have denuded the rice fields. In the town of Balasan the natives have captured and destroyed 2,000 cavanes (the cavane is a measure equal to 2.47 cubic feet) of insects. Miagao has also captured about the same number. The only time efforts to catch locusts prove effective is while they are too young to fly. The method pursued is to dig a hole in the ground to which boards lead. Along these the locusts can be driven, and once in the hole are burned. This method has been in limited use for some years, and is encouraged by the government. Our Needs.

EVIL FORTUNE DOGS STEPS OF KING ALFONSO Superstitious in Courts of Europe Convinced That Young Monarch Is "Hoodooed." ALFONSO AND QUEEN VICTORIA OF SPAIN TO-DAY. How Wan the King Has Grown; His Face Suggests Tubercular Trouble. LFONSO XIII, king of Spain, is pursued by an evil genius. A In the vernacular of the day, he is a "hoodooed" monarch. Such is the verdict of the courts of Europe, where for centuries traditions have held that a luck hound have hold away, amounting to superstition. Just why the cloud of ill-fortune should have settled upon the young monarch, the tradition, mongers and superstition, the doves do not venture into the land, which marks his title there has been little for the prophets of hard luck to work upon. But the fact remains that an imp of bad fortune has dogged his footsteps and closed in upon him just at times when the world should have been troubled by internal strife in his kingdom since his accession, and—boy though he was then—dealt a terrible blow by the war with America. Alfonso took a queen only to have his wedding been beaten by his himself escaped only by a miracle. Then, still relicting over the birth of an heir, he learns the terrible news that, like his father, he has a consumptive tendency, and even now he is a monarch, and is adored. Meanwhile his girl bride has alienated the affection of the Spanish court and is fast losing the esteem of the masses. Hurrying to London the other day to visit King Edward, and to consult with his queen, Alfonso and his queen were in a railway wreck for the second time in a few days. Both escaped, but the effect of such a mishap on the minds of the Spanish people who are watching courses uneasy, cannot be discounted. Alfonso was born in 1886. His father's death from consumption before his birth made his advent one of mingled sorrow and rejoicing, for the double death of his mother without an hemen menaced the country until Alfonso's coming was announced.

His father had succeeded in a measure in reconciling the unruly factions in his kingdom, but upon Alfonso's accession fresh trouble broke out, and crisis followed crisis in the government. Then came the Spanish war, when the boy king was only twelve years old. It cost the nation Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, to say nothing of the lives sacrificed, the warships sunk and the treasure lost. Smarting under this defeat the Spaniards were seized by a bride princess and the lives of the boy king and the queen mother were anything but happy for several years after the war. Then the "hoodoon" kept quiet for a number of years, and save for a couple of minor mishaps, the boy king appeared to have got the better of his brother. He went over to England and picked up the bride Princess Victoria Ena of Battenberg, niece of King Edward, and all Spain rejoiced at the match. They were married last year, and the story of the bomb hurried at the royal carriage during the wedding procession is of too recent memory to need explanation. His son escaped unhurt, but scores served to remind the nation that the royal Nemesis was busy again. The bomb horror passed into history, and the Spanish people did their best to make up to the young queen in loyalty and enthusiasm for the tragedy of his son escaping to their land. Everywhere she and the king went they were accustomed with joyous greetings. Silly Doctor. "Perhaps," said the doctor, "it's your custom, I am comfortable for your husband's illness.

But the lull was merely the calm before the storm. Even as "East is East" and "West is West" and Spain and England is England, and Alfonso's people realized gradually that their queen was not one of them. It began at the court where for centuries the most ponderous dignity had prevailed the court held uniforms and etiquette held absolute sway. The pomp and ceremony bored the young queen, and, having a will of her own, and a somewhat hasty temper, she went to the court and finally to abolish all cherished institutions. Chief among these was the state dinner, at which the king met all his relatives each day. The abolition of this ceremony has been followed by the royal family from the palace at Madrid, where from time immemorial the princes and princesses with their suites have resided. And the king, being deeply in love with his queen, and, at the same time, somewhat democratic, has refused to thwart her in any way. But the climax in the queen's gradual lapse into popular disfavor came when she showed her disgust at the national pastime of bull-fighting. In defiance of custom, Victoria declined the quette absolutely demanded her presence. And then, when she was forced to witness the spectacle, she took pains to express her abhorrence by holding a fan before her face to shut out the quette which is most dear to the Spanish heart. This was more than the people could forgive. To paraphrase a homely shying, it was a case of "Love us; love our sports."

Lady Diner Showed Incomprehensible Ignorance of Her Country's History — Another Grievously Offended Her Hostess. A book might easily be written and called "Dinner Guests I Have Met," and it would prove interesting reading, for certainly some Washingtonians have queer experiences in the course of a busy social season. A distinguished American who had represented this country in several courts of Europe went to Washington last winter to spend the season. He had been there only a few days when he received an invitation from the president and Mrs. Roosevelt to a large dinner. On his arrival at the White House the usual small white envelope, which contained the name of the guest whom he was to take out to dinner was handed to him. It was a name with which he was not familiar, and conveyed nothing to him, so after greeting the president and Mrs. Roosevelt he asked to be presented to his dinner partner, a handsome and well dressed woman. By the time that was accomplished dinner was announced and he promptly offered her his arm and they walked out to the state dining room. On the way there she informed him that she was simply starving, and he told her that she could find no better place to lose her appetite than at the dinner table. When they were seated she devoted her entire attention to oysters and only answered her remarks by nodding her head. This went on until the fish course was reached when she stopped eating long enough to ask, "Have you ever dined at the White House before?" He answered in the affirmative and again his hungry neighbor relapsed into silence and the enjoyment of her dinner. In desperation he turned to the woman on his left, and for some time carried on a desultory conversation with her. He was suddenly startled by his right hand neighbor tapping him on the shoulder and asking him in a peremptory tone: "Who were the guests present when you first dined at the White House?" He told her frankly that he could not remember, as it was long ago, but that did not satisfy her curiosity, so after sampling the salad she returned to the charge, and inquired who was president of the United States at that time. "Franklin Pierce," was the quiet reply. She stopped eating and stared at him. "You seem to think you can get a rise out of me," she declared, angrily. "But let me tell you, I'm not a fool as I look. I know perfectly well there never was a president by that name." And she indignantly turned her back on him for the rest of the evening. The wife of a prominent senator, representing an eastern state, had been much annoyed by the persistent efforts of a woman, whose husband was also in political life, to force an acquaintance upon her. Having refused many invitations from this source, she finally felt obliged to return the obligation, and, therefore, invited the woman to a formal luncheon. Her entertainments were noted for their quiet elegance, and, being a woman who was fastidious in her tastes, she hated pretense and ostention of any description. It was a luncheon of 18, and the table appointments were handsome. The guest in question began at the first course to point and admire everything upon the table, from the flowers to the wine glasses, until her fulsome praise attracted the attention of the other guest. As the luncheon proceeded it was plainly to be seen that the hostess was much annoyed, and those who knew her well expected some unattended. But the remark which proved the last straw to the hostess' endurance was made when the Venetian glass finger bowls were put on the table. "How exquisitely beautiful!" exclaimed the guest. "They are absolutely perfect. I have never used such bowls before." "Indeed," said the hostess, in the clear, inclusive tones her friends knew meant disaster; "then pray take one home with you, as you will never have another opportunity to use it here." U. S. Treasurer Borrows Car Fare. Chrules H. Treat, treasurer of the United States, on a hurry to catch a train for Washington found he didn't have any change except three pennies in his pocket, and the ticket seller at the Sixth avenue downtown station couldn't change a bill. Treat told the ticket seller he was United States treasurer, and asked trust for two cents. Later the ticket seller, J. A. Van Valkenburg, was given the laugh by his friends, who said he was "easy." Van Valkenburg himself, doubling, wrote to Treat's New York address, and has received the following reply: "I am indebted to you for the very prompt and also gracious help in the loan of the needed two cents to my account. I am not going to change the five-dollar note I received. I beg to inclose two two-cent stamps to reimburse you and to again express my cordial appreciation of your condidence in my personality.

And the aver- age European woman, especially. of the so-called ‘upper classes?’ regards every woman who is not of her Euro: pean social world as an upstart who must be Kept in her proper place— who may be tolerated but who can never be accepted on a plane of full equality.” There is much truth in the fore- going.

It has made its ‘way westward yery deliberately, and, how that it is here, it turns out to be neither very new nor especially exhil- arating, at least to the American tem- perament. It 1s really the revival of @ game which has been played in the ¥ar East—notably in China—for sev- eral centuries, As’a rule, Americans are not at all slow in adopting things which have ‘obtained ungualified foreign sanction, and that is"what diabolo (pronounced deah-bolo) seems to have done, The ‘craze broke out virulently in Paris about two years ago, and with that point as a source of contagion there has been every opportunity for it to spread, At the present time it is as- serted that there is scarcely a man, ‘woman or child in‘any European town of considerable size tho is unfamiliar with it under ome one of its numer- ous titles, for it seems to be masque- rading under various names, all of them, however, with a pronounced Satanic flavor. Besides diabolo, it answers to the call of bon diable, me- histo, avilo and ‘perhaps huebsche teutel, Of Periodic Occurrence, ‘This devilish pastime—always in a proper sense, be it temembered—has had several periods of popularity in France. Its most trlumbphant vogue was during the reign of Louis XIV., at ‘whose court it was fashionable under the name of “double ball.” It was played at many famous fetes at Ver- sailles and at the time was essentially ‘@ pastime of the wealthy ‘and the great. In 1812 the French fell again under the spell of the game, which at that period bore the rather startling title of “lo diable,” without the temporiz- ing modification “bon”—plain devil in all its naked suggestivenoss. Its pop- ularity during that revival was confin- ed to France, for about that time the English were trying to avold meeting American ships on the high seas and had no room for any other game. ‘Tho Frenchman who prectvitated the craze for le diable in 1812 used two sticks, a bit of string connecting the tip of each, a bobbinlike affair which he Spun and tossed “on the bridge of iB ft y ; y, (a Ve iN W™ Die corm! Tee ea VIG RL twine made taut by extending the sticks ‘which he held, one in each hand. France became so infatuated with the apparently childish game that the craze inspired articles in the journals and the making of numerous cartoons,.which are to be seen in the Paris ‘museums at the presont day. Seriously speaking, diabolo has much to recommend it. It is really an {deal form of exercise for most of the muscles of the body. It keeps the eye and the brain on the alert, and as to the arms—well, diabolo fe al- most equal to boxing for giving thém strength and cunning. The fact that it 18 a most “becoming” game may have had something to do with its popularity: It ts indeed an extremely graceful game if well played, which cannot be sald of tennis. Unlike the latter game, diabolo permits the wear- ing of the most elaborate frocks, which fs @ telling point in its favor. It may be played both indoors and out in the open and by one person or by aten-acre field full of them. There seems to be no limit to the combina tions that may be evolved, and, bost of all, it is as suitable for women as for men, It is a game that responds gener- ously to devoted practice, and it re- quires a steady hand, a steady eyo ‘and unlimitea practice.

Itis after you have practiced until you are Yeady to qualify as a professional Juggler. ‘Those who haye become experts will declare:that it 1s not a very dif- ficult matter to make this cone spin with such rapidity that it will retain its balance on the string. It is really on a principle similar to that employ- ed in the spinning of the gyroscope top. After this is accomplished the player tosses the cone alott, sending it to a height of fitty feet if he wishes, catching it skillfully again on the string as it descends, ‘The number of times the cone can be caught without falling to the ‘ground indicates the proficiency of the player in singles. The scheme may also be worked on the principle of tennis—pairs or quartets stationing themselves at various parts of the court and passing the cone back and forth.! According to the printed rules 3 a ‘An Old Diabolo Cartoon, of the game, it is possible to make the cone revolve rapidly like a top by holding one stick—the left one—at the helght of the hip and moving the right stick up and down. In actual practice this has been found to be al- most impossible. A trial—several of them, indeed—convinees the would-be diabolist that the rules promise too much. ‘The cone may be started read- fly enough, but prevailing on it to continue to revolve in the same di- rection with anything approaching speed 1s quite-a different proposition. The cone persists in revolving in the opposite direction, or it falls off the string without any apparent cause for so doing, or, perhaps, if it should hap- pen to remain on the string, it twists itself about in the most aggravating = A Great Future, ‘When pingpong is recalled the pos- sibilities of the vogue of diabolo prom- tse to be limitless. ‘The game is yet in its infancy, but the chief skill at present seems to consist of catching the bobbin a great number of times without missing it, At the moment the record is held by a French youth, who has caught the bobbin 3,207 con: secutive times in 100 minutes, ‘The throwing and catching of the bobbin is an excellent .exereise for girls.

This total does not include Defective Page the money raised by the deacons and stewardess' boards, nor the Sunday school, which if counted, would run the amount up $280 and make the grand total over $3,500. Accepting the $3,344.96 as reported and accounted for it makes the receipts of any other Afro-American church in the year book shows. To have seen St. James, less than two years ago, in strife and warring factions; the object of pity, of scorn and laughter; with prophecies that she would soon go down to death, and, then to see her today leading the Iona Church at the head of all the Afro-American churches in the Northwest in money raising and soul saving; may we not ask, "What hath God wrought?" St. James is especially proud of its place in the public eye today. Her indiscriminant service, her vested choir, her stewardess and deaconsesses to the right and left of the altar in beautiful yet modest dress, her trained ushers and altar boys and her pews well supplied with rituals and songs in book form, have given her a concession to reputation such as few churches episcopal and her heritage, let us walk humbly before Him who giveth us peace, lest we become proud and vain.

The Boys' Culture Club, which is composed of boys from the different churches and Sunday schools of St. Paul, and which has for its object to teach them good citizenship among their members; to teach them the principles of honest and intelligent self-government; to encourage good citizenship among them, also to be directed in physical culture, that they become strong mental and physical men. This club was organized a little more than two years ago at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Jacobs, who were pleased to have the boys meet in the club, and ever ready to give a helping hand in any way that they could. In the summer of 1906 this club organized a base ball team, which had eleven games that season. Of these games they won ten and lost but one. During the year 1907, the team played fourteen games, winning twelve and losing two. In the iff of 1007 the club organized a foot ball team. This team played eleven games, winning 85 and losing 15, usual time the boys have been well drilled in physical culture by a very competent physical director, in the person of Mr. Geo. Saam, who deserves great credit for his good work. He is loved by all the boys. Up to October, 1907, the club had been supported by the Y.M.C. boys saw the great need of having a gymnasium outfit of their own and sent out letters asking: the good people of St. Paul to contribute what they could to help pay for it, which would cost $50.

The Attraction at the Star Next Week. "Married by Telephone," a very clever and withal funny two act musical comedy, which "The Brigadiers" will offer at the Star Theater, commencing at matinee tomorrow and should meet the usual strong attraction. It is an entertainment out of the ordinary and will do more to enhance the reputation of this sterling aggregation of burlesques than anything presented by this company in recent years. In the past, the most popular interpolated song in the entire piece and again, there is a relishing absence of anything and everything that smacks of horseplay. Three comedians have three excellent roles. They are Tim Saley, Frank H. White and Wesley Warrell. They are the material furnished to the author. They are ably supported by fifty people including a chorus of twenty of the prettiest girls ever mustered on any stage. They are a adjunct to the entertainment which should be the phenomenal success made on the road. Some of the song hits on the comedy contains are to possess the kernel of popularity. Two numbers in particular should appeal to the audience, one is called "The Cotton Blooms," and the pretation requires the services of fourteen girls who blacken up and all the world like ladies of color. There is a typical Southern plantation plantation and atmosphere with beautiful light effects. The comedy also should please, because the idea is original and the treatment unique. The olio will be contributed by the following. Lester and Moore, in "A Day at the Beach"; Rogers, in "Up-to-date comedy: Maude Clifton," who knows how to sing character songs in capital style. Tim Healy, Irish comedian and dancer, Minnie Harrison, a magnetic and captivating comedie and Emma Krause and the usual matinees will be given and at the management will offer the Burns-Moir fight pictures, showing the knockout blow. The Zion Temple Notes, The Rev. Dr. J. B. Colbert returned from visit to St. Louis and filled his pulpit with the delight if all who heard him.

We have just received a copy of the National Baptist Sunday School Lesson Commentary for 1908. This book contains 390 pages, neatly bound, it is a well written and interesting volume. It contains a complete series of the study of the International Sunday School Lesson for 1908, with the subjects and motto textsf or the lessons of the year 1909. It is the fifth volume and is by far the most complete of its kind. There are several interesting facts connected with the publication of this book, possibly the most important being that it is the first of its kind ever attempted by the Afro-Americans in the United States, and is the only Baptist Commentary published in this country. The Afro-American Baptists have scored a victory through their secretary, Rev. Boyd, Boyd, Nashville, Tenn., in getting past this edition. The editors of the book are Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., LL, D, secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board and founder of the National Baptist Publishing House, and Rev. W. E. Ellington, A. B., the editorial secretary of the Board. The demand for the book has grown from 3,000, the first volume, until the present year it was decided to print 8,000 of the first edition. The indications are the entire edition will be disposed of. Mr. A. K. Clark, the progressive proprietor of the Kendrick Restaurant, has secured new quarters at 156 E. Third street, where he will on next Monday open a first-class hotel and cafe. The hotel has 30 rooms, steam heated, and has all modern conveniences.

Contribute to the Gymnasium Fund of the Boys' Culture Club. The Boys' Culture Club takes this opportunity to thank the twenty-seven (27) good citizens of St. Paul for contributing $26 of the $50 asked to pay for the gymnasium outfit which we have contracted for. This $50 was to have been paid on or before October 20, 1907, but owing to the fact that we failed to raise the stated amount on that date, we have asked for the time to be extended, and the time was extended 30 days. Will you help us to raise the remaining $24 within the next 30 days? Trusting that we have 24 more good friends that will give us $1 each, for which we would be very thankful. Send all your contributions to Manager M. A. Bolling, 464 Arundel street 'Boys' Culture Club. The Kendrick Cafe, 156 E. Third street, threw open its doors to the public this week and is a pronounced success from the beginning. The appointments are quite elegant. There are eight tables and a large lunch counter.

Soon after the disappearance of the fore part of the wrecked liner Suevio a great amount of the vessel's cargo of wool was washed on the shore. Almost all work in the district was stopped, schools were closed, and men, women and children flocked to the beach to assist in the work of salvage. The wool was gathered by the helpers and carried to a place of safety at the top of the cliff. There is was laid out in piles by each of the collectors, who were remunerated according to the amount of work they had done. Some of the wool has been sold to dealers in the Liverpool market. Weather Lore of the Southwest. George B. Keeler has lived in this part of the Cherokee nation longer than any other white man, and he knows weather signs as well as any of the people who were here even before him. He remarked las week on the fact that the wild ducks and geese are stopping in the Choctaw nation to breed, a thing they are not known to have done before. The bees are killing their drones, an old Indian sign that honeymaking material will be very scarce this summer. According to this the summer will be hot and dry, burning out much vegetation.
