PROTECT PROPERTY RIGHTS
Secretary Lane Is of the Opinion That
Indian Minors Have Been
Despoiled.
Secretary Lane of the interior de
partment has determined that the
Indian minors of the five civilized
tribes in Oklahoma—the Cherokees,
the Creeks, the Choctaws, the Chick
asaws and Seminoles —are to have
better protection for their property
rights. These Indian minors are on
an average the richest children in
the United States. It is estimated
that while the approximate cost is
three per cent, to settle a white mi
nor’s estate, the expense of admin
istering the estate of an Indian mi
nor is at least 20 per cent. Guard
ian fees, attorney fees and other ex
penses make up this charge. In
many cases gross misappropriation
has been found. Such cases will be
called to the attention of the grand
jury and criminal prosecution insti
tuted. Secretary Lane has directed |
a radical reform under the supervi- ,
si on of Commissioner Sells.—New !

DEER BECOME A NUISANCE
.—
New England Farmers Forced to Shoot .
Them, and Game Warden Admits
the Necessity.
For some time past Farmer Wil- ‘
liam B. Frear of Hinsdale has noted
a daily falling off in his milk supply
of three gallons. One day the farm
er’s son saw a buck deer fawn suck
ing one of the herd of cows, while
standing near, as though awaiting its
turn, was a second fawn. The young
man shot the fawn. The second
fawn escaped into the woods. Mr.
Frear reported the killing of the deer
to the state authorities, who upheld
his contention that milk was one of
his farm products and he had a right
to protect himself from loss and to
safeguard his cows by shooting the
fawn.
Zachens Cande of Sheffield shot a
deer while it was in the act of gir
dling one of his apple trees, and the
next day, discovering another deer
in the same act, he shot that one
also. He was exonerated in both in
stances by the game warden.—Berk
shire Courier.
COW EATS WRITTEN LEASE.
Because a Columbus (Ohio) cow
ate a vest July 2, 1907, six years of
litigation and hundreds of dollars in
court costs followed.
The vest contained a lease on gas
land in Licking county and provid
ed that the Bennington Oil and Gas
company lease 246 acres of land
from Park Decrow. The vest was
hung on a railfence by Justice Ship
ley, who drew the instrument, while
the magistrate drank from a spring;
the bovine grabbed the waistcoat
while Shipley’s back was turned.
A substitute lease didn’t satisfy
either party and the case went into
court. 1
The supreme court sent it back
for a new trial.
DIFFICULT DIAGNOSIS.
A doctor attended an old lady
from Scotland, who had caught a se
vere cold.
“Did your teeth chatter when you
felt the chill coming over you?”
asked the doctor.
“I dinna ken, doctor; they were
[ lying on the table I” was the pleas
, ant. reply.

' YOUTHFUL GIANTESS A BRIDE
Enghsh Girl Weighing Over 560
Pcunde Said to Be Active and
a GOwd Housewife.
The heaviest girl in the world,
Nellie Lambert, a nineteen-year-old
giantess, who weighs over 560
pounds, is shortly to be married. The
bride, it is stated, possesses a waist
line of seven feet four inches, her
approximate diet each day consisting
of: Three pounds of meat, four
pounds of vegetables, three pounds
of bread, six pounds of fruit,
pounds of chocolate, three pints of
cocoa and tea, a quart of milk. Mias
Lambert, who hails from Leicester
shire (England), is a great grand
daughter of the famous Daniel Lam
bert, who weighed 730 pounds. Once
at Humberstone Gate Miss Lambert
fell through the floor of the carriage
in which she was riding. At Victo
ria Hill, Henley, the axle of the taxi
she was in broke, and once a cab step
I gave way while she was getting into
I the vehicle. To prevent similar acci
; rents in New Y’ork, her agent hired a
I huge gilded closed concern on massive
I wheels. Her future husband is Mr.
I Albert Ensell, an innkeeper of Dale
-1 end, Birmingham, a professional
I weight lifter. After the marriage
■ the bridegroom contemplates making
! his debut on the music-hall stage,
j and, unlike Sandow and Hercules,
who lifted horses, he will lift his
mammoth bride by his teeth right up
on to a silver trapeze. Considering
that by all accounts the lady, whoae
biceps measure 27 inches, can scrub
and cook without the slightest in
convenience, and that she makes all
her own clothes, Mr. Ensell may be
congratulated upon getting a bride
“among ten thousand.”

HISTORIC RELIC.
Wolsey’s wine cellar is to be pre
served intact by the office of works in
their great schemes of improvement
in Whitehall gardens, one of the few
remaining portions of the old palace
of Whitehall. The apartment in
question, which has a low vaulted
roof, is claimed to be the wane cellar
of Cardinal Wolsey, report says, and
it at present forms part of the re
freshment department at Whitehall
gardens. A portion of the wall was
laid bare some time ago, with the re
sult that the original brickwork was
> found to be in perfect condition,
while further investigation behind
, the rude stucco was the means of
bringing to light the cardinal’s arms
I carved in stone. It was from White
hall stairs that Wolsey entered his
barge and was rowed to Esher after
his disgrace at the hands of Henry
' VIII., at which period the palace
passed into the possession of ■ the
, : crown. ’ ’ - I

TIDES OF THE MIND.
Shakespeare tells us that there is a
j tide in the affairs of men. Certainly
! there is a tide in the minds of men.
He must be very unobservant of him-
I self who does not know that the mind
rises and falls, that it swells into
1 fulness and strength and then fades
into emptiness and weakness, we
; know not how, we know not why.
Formerly the tides of the sea were
also a great mystery. Slowly did ob
servation disclose that they were un
der the influence of the moon, and,
still later, of the sun. So with the
tides of the mind. We are taught
now that they are caused and gov
erned by our faith and by our love.
—Theophilus Parsons.
