Wichita Searchlight

SUPPLEMENT TO THE SEARCHLIGHT. Wichita, Kansas, Saturday Nov. 28, '03 Of course King Edward admires American typewriters. We all do. If Mexico has any more men like Diaz it should begin to economize on them. Mark Twain has gone to Europe, but luckily he isn't compelled to go for money this time. If a man is jealous of a girl, and can't make her jealous of him, he had better get another girl. And Senator Stewart has joined Senator Platt in ignoring the wise counsel of the elder Weller. There is no presidential election in Haiti, but there is a revolution on, which is much the same thing. Mme. Rejane, the French actress, has secured a divorce. The finishingouch has now been applied to her art. The statement that the blankets in a sleeping car are changed once in six months seems to explain everything. One of the freaks of the prosperity wave is found in the announcement by a Kansas editor that he has money to loan. It is said that short ribs are in a corner, which is better, according to the health experts, than to have them in a corset. Russia and Japan should hesitate a long time before going to war. They are a long way from the Chicago stockyards. The astronomers say that each of the sun spots is as big as the earth. Does that make you realize how insignificant you are? The Italian government finds that it has a surplus of $13,000,000 on hand. Italy's grafters must be new and inexperienced hands. The New York man who gave away a million dollars on his deathbed robbed the lawyers of a fine chance to have fun with his will. It probably is inaccurate to say that Russia has changed her mind about evacuating Manchuria. She has merely changed her statement. Taking advantage of recent electrical manifestations, Marconi will now harness the aurora borealis; but what is Tesla doing meanwhile? Once there was a man who went into politics and didn't lose his reputation, but he didn't have any when he went in—New York Press. Count that week lost whose ending shall not see a record knocked to smithereens by me. —Lou Dilion. Homer Waite and Bertha Hope were married in Minnesota the other day. Wait and Hope ought to make both a cheerful and promising combination. Dr. Manuel Amador is the minister of finance in the new Isthmian Republic. Up to the present time he has been busy hunting for finances to minister. The planet Venus is said to be particularly beautiful now, from 3:30 a.m. till dawn. Perhaps you noticed it on your way home after getting the election returns. The gluemakers back East have struck and swear by all the gods of honest but odorous labor that they will stick together until Gabriel blows Hiawatha on his trumpet. Peary has made the remark that an Arctic expedition costs about as much as a cup challenger. And Sir Thomas might add that the results of the two enterprises are about the same. Just because more than 90 per cent on the men in "Who's Who" are married, it does not necessarily follow that a man who gets married has 90 per cent more chance of becoming a who. One advantage by the young wife of a nonagenarian is that in time of need she can usually turn to the older and more experienced of her husband's grandchildren for guidance and wise counsel. A San Francisco man has sued for divorce because the spirits told him his wife had ceased to love him. Doubtless there are many men who will wait anxiously to hear whether he gets it or not. The king of Greece has been appointed an honorary admiral of the British fleet. Will not some other great naval power make the too long overlooked president of the high-up republic of Switzerland an admiral, too? The book collector in London who has just paid $3,000 for a copy of early poems by Shelley and his sister might have printed a whole new edition of the book for considerably less than one-tenth of that amount of money QUI QUICK RESULTS. W. J. Hill, Justice of the Peace, Concord, N. C., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills proved a very efficient remedy in my case. I used them for disordered kidneys and backache, from which I had experienced a great deal of trouble and pain. The kidney secretions were very irregular, dark colored and full of sediment. The Pills cleared it all up and I have not had an ache in my back since taking the last dose. My health generally is improved a great deal." Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Mrs. Winston's Soothing Syrup For children teething, softens the gums, reduces inflammation, allows pain, curses wind colic, 230 oz. bottle. It doesn't pay to snub a man who owes you money. Glass Houses Glass houses of a very substantial kind can now be built. Silesian glassmakers are turning out glass bricks for all sorts of building purposes. Where Platinum Comes From. The $2,142,207 worth of platinum extracted in the Gortlagodatski district of Russia last year is practically the world's supply of that metal. Different Kind German inventors have succeeded in manufacturing paper yarn. We have had the newspaper yarn variety in this country for many years. Mexican Farm Laborers. Farm laborers in Mexico may be employed at from 18 to 50 cents a day, though in many parts of the country they are very scarce and unreliable. Minnesota Governor's Diarica The Minnesota Historical Society will publish the diaries of Alexander Ramsey, who was Governor of Minnesota when it was a territory, was Governor of the state during the civil war and represented its people in the United States senate. For Good Lungs A good lung exercise is to hold the head up, the shoulders back and chest out; inflate the lungs slowly through the nose until they are quite full; hold until you have counted ten without opening the lips, then exhale quickly till the lungs are as empty of the bad air as it is possible to get them. Repeat this exercise until you can count twenty when the lungs are full. Galileo's Criticism. Criticising Tasso's poem "Jerusalem Delivered," Galileo said: "I am sometimes aghast at the foolish things this poet sets himself to describe. To my mind this poet is poor and miserable beyond all expression, whereas Arlosto is rich, magnificent, admirable. Eh, Sig. Tasso, you understand nothing of your art. You besmear much paper and only make in the end pap for cats." Higher Education in Russia. A young peasant in a village in the Russian province of Minsk, who was trying to educate himself, was arrested for being in possession of a book on algebra. The justice of the peace before whom he was brought acquitted him on the charge of conspiracy made against him by the police, but warned him not to buy books which tended to make an anarchist and an infidel of him. BOTH FEEL What Proper Food Does for Both Mind and Body. Physical health, mental health, indeed almost everything good on this earth depend in great measure upon proper food. Without health nothing is worth while and health can be won almost every time by proper feeding on the scientific food Grape-Nuts. A California trained nurse proved this: "Three years ago I was taken very sick, my work as a trained nurse having worn me out both in body and mind, and medicine failed to relieve me at all. After seeing a number of physicians and specialists and getting no relief I was very much discouraged and felt that I would die of general nervous and physical collapse. "My condition was so bad I never imagined food would help me but on the advice of a friend I tried Grape-Nuts. The first package brought me so much relief that I quit the medicines and used Grape-Nuts steadily three times a day. The result was that within 6 months I had so completely regained my strength and health that I was back nursing again and I feel the improvement in my brain power just as plainly as I do in physical strength. "After my own wonderful experience with Grape-Nuts I have recommended it to my patients with splendid success and it has worked wonders in the cases of many invalids whom I have attended professionally." Name given u, Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. Look in each package for a copy of the famous little book "The Road to Welville." A Romantic Day HY are you laughing?" asked Elsa, as we entered the picture gallery. "He's dead, poor chap," I said, and Elsa remained silent a few minutes as we walked slowly along the gallery. W "It seems a little incongruous," I answered. "What?" she demanded. "That this great place should belong to such a small person, and that she should live in it alone." "Don't you think it would be rather nice," she cried abruptly, as she stopped before a portrait of George II's reign, "if women wore powder nowadays?" "Every generation has its own methods of disguising Nature," I suggested. Elsa raised a pair of merry eyes: "Do you intend to intimate that mine—" "I have known it far too long to feel the slightest doubt," I answered, with a glance at her yellow head. "Anyhow they were more inclined to gallantry," I admitted. "Still," said Elsa, with a sigh, "I believe that life had more of romance." "What do you mean by romance?" "I could tell you better who is unromantic," she answered. "Well," I suggested, "your own experience has been romantic enough." "I thought I must be dreaming," she said, "when I heard that Uncle Richard had left everything to me." "A veritable fairy tale." "But still——" "Only requiring the Prince to complete the fable," I answered. "I feel certain," she exclaimed with suspicious embarrassment, "that there was more romance in those days. Everybody says that chivalry is dead. How long," she added, leading the way along the gallery, "is it since you went abroad?" "Four years." I said. "Oh, dear!" cried Elsa, with a sigh, "how quickly the time passes?" "Has it seemed very short?" "It has simply flown," she answered, "But," she said a moment later, as she stooped to inspect a small Dutch interior, "I never quite understood why you left England." "Didn't you?" Elsa turned her back to the picture and stared up into my face, solemnly shaking her head. "No suspicion entered your mind?" I asked. "I am not of a suspicious nature." "But still——" "How could it—when you didn't tell me?" she demanded. "Isn't a good deal of a woman's knowledge supposed to be intuitive?" I suggested. "I suppose I was scarcely a woman," she murmured. "How old are you now?" "Yet, I funneled that you had some idea—" Elsa shook her head again, perhaps with a little less determination. "Why did you go?" "To seek the root of all evil." "Oh, then I ought to hope you didn't find it!" she exclaimed. "Well," I said, "I didn't." "So your voyage was wasted?" "I seem to be a complete failure," I confessed. "Oh, but how can you possibly tell?" she asked, with a serious expression. I daresay I laughed a little grimly. "You can't possibly tell whether you have won or lost until the game is finished," said Elsa. "Anyhow," I retorted, "the first hand is played out." "How horridly mercenary you must be!" she exclaimed a few moments later. "Mercenary——" "You must be very fond of money to spend four years looking for it." cried Elsa; and she began to take off her gloves—they were white this summer afternoon. "It wasn't exactly the money." "Then," she demanded, "what was it?" "I happened to be fond of some one else." "Oh," she cried, with a laugh. "now I am beginning to understand. Don't you think that is a sweet face?" she added, rather impetuously, the next instant, as she held out her right hand, with the white gloves hanging from it, toward a Greuze a few yards away. "I imagined you understood four years ago," I answered. "Did you have a—a very hard time?" asked Elsa. "Oh, well, it was pretty rough now and then." "I suppose you found it rather—rather lonely right away from everybody?" she suggest'd. "Of course," I explained, "there was Howard." "Howard—" "I had known him at the 'Varsity.' I continued, "and we were both in the steerage." "You traveled in the steerage!" cried Elsa, with an expression of something like horror. "Why not?" "When I remember you in all your glory—" "Many a better chap was there," I said; "Howard among them. We chummed together; agreed to pool our funds and go shares until we had made our fortunes." "But you—you didn't—" "No." I answered, "we certainly didn't." "Did he come home with you?" asked Elsa. "He's dead, poor chap," I said, and Elsa remained silent a few minutes as we walked slowly along the gallery, examining a picture now and then by the way. "Did he die on the way home?" she asked, quietly. "Away up country in Australia." "Then," she said, "why did you return? "Nostalgia," I answered. "You fret and growl and get sick with everything. You long for the old places and the old people." "Only—the-old people?" asked Elsa. "The people you have known all your life!" "They need not all be so very old," said Elsa. "But," I continued, "I am not certain I should have returned if I had known—" "If you had known what?" "Of the changes which the last two months have brought about." Elsa came to an abrupt standstill, facing me with unmistakable indignation. "I wonder whether you remember the night I saw you last?" "Of course I remember," she answered. "You were beautiful then——" "You know that is not what I meant!" she cried. "Now you are more beautiful still." "Perhaps that is due to fine feathers," she suggested, with the faintest of smiles. "Perhaps." "But," she exclaimed, throwing out her hands with the white gloves in the right, "they are nothing. They do not count at all." It was impossible to resist a glance around the gallery with its collection of treasures from all parts of the world. "You say they are nothing?" "I asked whether you thought I had changed," she insisted. "I—myself—" "How can I judge you in that intimate way?" "You have surely known me intimately—you have known me for years." "I will take your word for it that you haven't." I answered; but still Elsa's face looked grave. "But, then," she suggested, "if you didn't take the trouble to find out what I really was before—" "Oh. I never doubted what you were." "What?" she demanded, with a quick, upward glance. But before I could have explained, even if I would, she added, imperiously: "Tell me about your friend." "You would have liked old Howard," I said. "Was he ill very long?" she asked. "He broke down soon after we landed." "But didn't he get any better?" "Not much. it was a tedious business for the fellow." "I dareday it did—a little." "Who nursed him?" "You must understand we were miles away from everywhere and every one." "Still," she cried, "I suppose he wasn't ill the whole time?" "No, but he was never quite well." I explained. "Of course, he had his better periods." "You might have taken him to some town—have got him off your hands?" "I might." "Why didn't you?" she demanded, severely. "You see, we had pooled our funds and taken a cattle run and stocked it, and, besides, Harold was everlastingly hoping for better times." "Then," said Elsa, "it was really his illness which prevented your success." "Anyhow." I returned, "we had agreed to chum." "But," asked Elsa, "do you—do you think it was quite fair?" "Old Howard would have done the same by me—" "I wasn't thinking of Mr. Howard!" "Of whom, then?" "Why—of the girl you left behind you," said Elsa. "I don't think I ever passed a day without thinking of her." I protested. "Was it quite fair to her?" "Was it quite rair to her?" "Fair——" "You had left her waiting for you!" cried Elsa. "But, then, you see, she didn't know." I reminded her. "Of course," answered Elsa, with a smile. "How stupid of me?" "You-you were forgetting," I suggested. "Yes, I—I was forgetting," and her face grew grave again. "In any case," I said, "it would have been impossible to leave Howard in the lurch." "So you stayed?" "Why, yes." "And did the most of the work?" "There was no one else to do it." "I'm afraid the poor chap had rather a rough time of it." I said. "Well, you know," cried Elsa. "I think you always were a little rough." "Not like the johnnies in the pic" ture over there?" I suggested, as we reached the end of the gallery and turned, retracing our steps along the other side. "How do you like this one?" she asked. "The picture on the right—" "Isn't it supposed to be a tournament?" I inquired. "You see the woman with the fair hair?" cried Elsa, in a curiously nervous voice. "It is something like your own color," I remarked, as we stood a yard apart gazing at the large painting. "Oh, but her hair is fairer than mine?" said Elsa, looking fire at the canvas, then turning her blue eyes quite anxiously to mine. "I don't see much difference," I assured her. "She appears to have chosen the tall knight for her champion," she suggested. "Lucky beggar?" I answered. "Do you think he is lucky?" asked Elsa; and she held her white gloves by the wrists in her right hand and struck the palm of her left with their fingers. "Immensely." "Why?" "In some way she sggests yourself." I answered. "Do you notice anything inappropriate?" she demanded. "Inappropriate?" "In—in the picture?" "Nothing whatever." "Don't you think," she exclaimed, as she turned her eyes toward it, "that it would have been preferable if the knight had chosen the lady?" "You—you really think it wouldn't?" cried Elsa, brightening in the most extraordinary fashion. "It seems to amount to very much the same thing." "Why, of course," she answered, and her clear laugh rang through the gallery. "Especially if the chap got killed." "Oh! why should you take such a dismal view?" cried Elsa. "For my part," she added, "I feel convinced they married—" "And lived happily ever afterward?" "I wonder," she said, quietly, "whether you can tell me something?" "What?" I asked. "It appears perfectly certain that she has chosen him—" "Not a doubt about it," I agreed. Not a doubt about it. I agreed. "How did she let him know that he—that he was chosen?" asked Elsa, looking up into my face. "It may sound a little unromantic—" "Oh, well." she cried, with a curious timbre in her voice. "we quite decided that romance and chivalry were dead." "Quite." I replied. "Well, how did she let him know?" "I imagine it was a prearranged thing." "Still," she insisted. "there must have been some way of announcing." "Oh, well." I said. "I suppose she shied a glove at him, or something." And as I spoke, Elsa raised her right hand, and the next instant one of the white gloves fell upon my shoulder. At first it seemed to be an accident, but her face all gayety and smiles one minute, grew grave and tearful the next, and then I understood.—Thomas Cobb, in Black and White. Goats With Gold Teeth. An American traveler, just back from Northern Italy, declares that he found gold in the mountains about the headwaters of the River Ticino, and is going back to work the mines if he can obtain certain concessions. "Those poor people ought to be rich; they are in distress," he says. "I had not been in Novara a week before the appearance of the teeth of certain half-wild goats attracted me. They looked exactly as if they had been plugged with gold. I asked if there was a goat dentist in the country. A negative answer induced me to buy an aged Billy, and make examination. What do you suppose I found? Real gold! Honest! Yes, sir. Those goats browsed upon the mountain sides where the grass was so short that they had to bite up the ground to get it. In so doing they had uncovered gold particles and gotten them between their teeth. I followed them for several weeks and found the mines." -New York Press. The Sham Sailor. It happened at the Mansion House Police Court. A man who claimed to be a sailor, and who said that he been badly injured through an accident at sea, was charged with begging in the city. The chief magistrate caught sight of a blue jacket in court, and, addressing him, said: "You might, please, ask this man some questions to find out if he is a sailor, or whether he is an imposter." The naval man stood up, looking at the prisoner, asked: "Can you tell me how many yards of canvas there are on the main sheet?" After some consideration, the sham nautical man replied: "I should think about sixty yards." It only remained for the real tar to explain to the magistrate that the mainsheet was a rope, and not a sail, for the beggar to be convicted—Golden Penny. Great Sea Serpent Honx. The most colossal sea serpent hoax on record was perpetrated by Dr. Albert C. Koch, who in 1845 exhibited in Broadway, New York, the tremendous skeleton of an alleged elongated marine monster, which he called the "hydrachos," or "sea king." This consisted of a head and vertebral column measuring 114 feet over all. After Koch had been fooling scientists and laymen alike for a considerable period a Professor Wyan examined the bones thoroughly and disclosed that they were those of several zeugladons strung together to represent a sea serpent. Koch afterward sold the skeleton to the Dresden Museum. No More Than Rights. The bill to give authors' manuscript the privileges of third class mail matter is to be pushed in congress. It can fairly be urged that a good deal of the manuscript is intrinsically entitled to that rating.—Boston Herald. Praise for American Womanhood. In the opinion of the editor of the Mirror, a paper printed in English in British India, "American womanhood is admitted the finest, the very best, physically and intellectually, of all the womanhood of the world."

I was recommended to get Dodd's Kidney Pills and purchased some at the drug store of Mr. G. E. Meck. After using several boxes I was completely restored.

EUGENE WARE TO RESIGN EUGENE WARE TO RESIGN Will Leave Pension Office Next November or Sooner, BACK TO HIS LAW PRACTICE. Washington, Nov. 26.—It can be announced that Eugene F. Ware, the commissioner of pensions will retire from that office by about the middle of November of next year and will return immediately to the practice of law in Kansas. His contemplated action is generally understood among Kansas politicians and has been the subject of several interviews with the president, which had been kept secret. The decision to resign and return to private life is the result of his long felt dissatisfaction with the nature of the duties of his office, a feeling that has grown steadily since the early days of his administration of that bureau. Mr. Ware has steadfastly refused to discuss the matter when asked for information on the subject, despite the general understanding among those in a position to know, and when asked about the report of his plans he declined to admit that he has or ever had any intention of tendering his resignation. Mr. Ware's acceptance of the president's tender of the office created considerable surprise at the time. He had a law practice that was one of the largest in Kansas, and it brought him considerably more income than his salary as commissioner of pensions. He had not been in office long before he began to feel the effect of the large amount of routine work that devolves upon the head of the office, and as time wore on the demands that his work made on his time and strength, and the constant friction that has been incidental to the office under every administration added to his distaste for the office.

The insurgents were bombarding the town and their attack was being vigorously resisted by the forts. Canada Disappointed. Ottawa, Out., Nov. 24. -At the beginning of the year it was confidently estimated by those in a position to speak with authority that the movement of settlers from the United States to Canada this year would total upward of 100,000 persons, but an official return, just published, shows that the total arrivals in Canada from all quarters of the globe during the last ten months were 121,115. Of these 29,000 were from the United States, 47,541 from the British Isles, and the remainder from continental Europe. Unite Against Unionism. Racine, Wis., Nov. 24. -The manufacturers of this city plan an association against unionism.

The German press, in commenting on the sewing machine trade in Japan, points out that the importation of American sewing machines into Japan has increased elevenfold over that of Germany since 1893, although the American machines command much higher prices than those made in Germany. "Spans" in the Transvaal. The word "span" has become a misnomer in the Transvaal, for here a span of oxen may mean anywhere from ten to sixteen head, and the farmer who carries his produce to market must first make an outlay for draft animals of from $1,000 to $1,200. The wagons used are very heavy and must be capable of bearing a weight of from 8,000 to 10,000 pounds. Which Was Insulted. A private of an infantry battalion stationed at Mhow, India, was recently sentenced to 168 hours' hard labor for calling his lance corporal a "Brodrick." The private, after being sentenced, asked whether he was being punished for insulting the secretary of state for war or the lance corporal. The court remained silent.—London Mall.

Housekeepers naturally dread dish washing in winter, wounding to the fact that it chaps the hands and renders them hard and rough. Much of the injury, however, results from the use of impure soap. If Ivory Soap is used in washing dishes and the hands are carefully rinsed and dried, they will not chap—E. R. PARKER. When doctors pay visits they expect the visits to pay them. Ignorance and superstition are the oldest married couple on record. To the housewife who has not yet become acquainted with the new thing of everyday use in the market and who is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once.

IS THE BIBLE TO BE CHANGED? The Bible in itself furnishes evidence that it is not a complete record of all that Jesus Christ said and did. St. Paul makes reference in the first Acts to a saying of the Savior which is found nowhere else: "Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, it is more blessed to give than to rceive." St. John ends his gospel with the following statement: "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that could be written." This proof of the incompleteness of the New Testament has inspired the Christian explorers and archaeologists for many ages with an ambition to discover the suppossed missing records. Their efforts occasionally have met with success. In 1859 Tischendorf found the Codex Sinaiticus amid the dust of the monastery of St Catherine on Mount Sinai. In 1897, the laborious Egyptologists, Grenfell and Hunt, uncovered the so-called logir of Christ which were written in the 2nd or 3rd century of this era; and now these last named gentlemen have just made at Oxyrhyncus, Egypt, another remarkable discovery of some new sayings of Christ. The bulk of these documents unearthed belong to the third century; although some of them are theological faagments of the fourth century, anno Domini. These new found papyri, therefore, are the earliest documents we now have of the New Testament. Christianity was not originally a book religion as is the case with Mohammedanism. The gospels are only the WICHITA. KANSAS. NOV 28 1903. ```markdown ``` Remember the place--Market at the Gate of the Dold Packing House. testimony of witnesses as to what was originally proclaimed to and by the apostles as the teachings of Jesns. So we have no veritable text of the New Testament, unless we accept these recent discoveries of Grenfell and Hunt as such. The discovery on new sayings of Cerist might be a matter of interest to the scholar and archaeologist, but for the good of religion and the peace of the world it is rather to be hoped that nothing may be found or done to necessitate a change in the present canonical text of the Bible. It has cost millions of lives and ages of wars and social disturbances to establish the text as it now is. The dispute over the authenticity of certain clauses, the question as to whether some adverbs should be prepositions and a trivial dipthong should be written "oi" or "ou", have caused so much crime, injustice and oppression that many people think the slow progress by which civilization advanced was due to the struggle over religious matters. The Bible is alright as it is. It is in need neither of change, amendment nor aqridgement. If it has omissions, they have long ago been supplied. If it contains errors, they have lond since been hallowed by the universal submission of Christendom. Miss M. C. Hannibal.

Rodgers, vice president of the Merchant's national bank, this afternoon hired Stanley Mason, a dwarf coored newsboy, to act as his mascot when the banker, who is 36 years of age, went to the court house to secure a license to wed Miss Anna H. Orr, aged 26, daughter of Dr. G. P. Orr. Before taking the oath, as is necessary when a marriage license is issued Rodgers carefully rubbed his hands over the colored boy's head. The group presented a queen sight on the streets going and coming from the court house. The bridegroom to be and his best man, Attorney Dan Wilson, both big men in tall silk hats and long Prince Albert coats, marched on either side of the colored mascot, who is scarcely 3 feet tall. The boy was well paid for his trouble by the banker, who considers the money particularly well invested. MATRIMONIAL TANGLE. This Man Will Mix Things by Wedding His Stepmother's Daughter. Correspondence New York Mail & Express. Just what relation Clayson H. Corwin will be to himself after he marries sne daughter of his stepmother is worrying the people of this village. The ceremony will take place in the Presbyterian church. The engagement attracted comment throughout Suffolk county, for many supposed the bridegroom and bride were relatives. Miss Helen Howard, the bride-to-be, is a daughter of Mrs. Howard, who recently married Oliver Corwin, the bridegroom's father. The young people were thrown much together after their parents were married and soon became engaged. Thos who have delved into the problem fint that Mr. Corwin will be his own brother-in-law, his stepmother will be his mother-in-law, his father his stepfather-in-law and his wife his stepsister by marriage, and they are studying out further complications. "Let us have peace—at least till pring," is Russia's latest motto. Persons who are looking for trouble should try to organize a platonic friendship.

In the location of homes the Cherokee full bloods and Negroes are mostly in settlements. The intermarried whites largely are in towns and territorious to each other. The Cherokee speaking citizens much prefer to associate together. In the nation there are 30 schools attended by fullblood Cherokee children and 17 by Negro children. The Negro blood schools are not so by legal requirement, but as a corollary of their preference to live near each other. The Cherokee and Negro do not intermarry or socially mingle. Two seminaries and an orphan asylum are attended by fullbloods and mixed bloods only, the colored high school by Negroes only. In the incorporated school districts whites and Indians attend the same schools, and race prejudice and undue feeling on either side is being lost in fellowship and friendship cultivated in the class room and on the playground. Both sides are better satisfied in the combined schools than they were when they were kept separate. Fullblood seem to mingle as freely with white renters and their families, of good character, as they do with mixed bloods. Of the 38,5000 citizens of the Cherokee nation the best statistical information gives about 8,500 fullbloods, 3,200 intermarried 22,800 mixed bloods and 4,000 freedmen. Booker T.

The other, confused, tried to explain. "You can't explain to me. You are big enough and strong enough to work, and here you are begging. You can't explain that," said Mr. Washington. "Well, Ah's got to live," said nhe other humbly. "There's not the least necessity for that," said Mr. Washington, severely.

Main, was the one that was present at the Big Thanksgiving Event given by The Searchlight at that hall Thursday night. Long before the hour for the program to begin the spacious hall was filled. Promptly at the hour named the program began under the direction of Mrs. Ida B. Clark. The first number was a recitation by Mr. Samuel Walker, subject "Wingless Girl" Mr. Walker received hearty enchore. Next was a baritane solo by Mr. John Edgerton, baritone profundo, titled, "Over the Sea Billow' Mr. Edgerton again proved himself the king of baritone singers of the great Southwest. Then was called Mr. Stewart Waters, Wichita's favorite tenor, singer, who pleased the large audience with that popular song 'Alabama' he sang it with a vim which won for him the hearty and vigorous applause of all. Following was a select reading by Miss Tesa Edmonuon titled 'Thanksgiving' it was well received.

At the door was Messers Walte Gibb and Robt. Davis; at the tables were Mesdames J. G. Gaines, R. Davis, W. N. Miller and Miss Viola Edmonson. All agreed that it was indeed the greatest Event of the Season and all were pleased. Miss Gerude North, of Winfield was a Thanksgiving day visitor in Wichita.
