KNOCK THB KNOCKER.
When ihe stranger enter your muni

assurance that you live in the best,
liex-est and wort promising town and
county in the atatej that he i lucky
to h- found hi y to its inspire him
with a nieauvw of confidence and gratirl
eation at being there; make him under
stand that Ot people who live there are
sponsor (or it np-to-Jatcne-s and go-aheadiviw-;
gag the knocker wherever
and whenever yon find him ; cut it out
yourself and discourage it in other. The
wan from abroad i quickly disgusted
with the man and the town that is
disparaged on the veiy ground where he
it seeking something better than he left,
and it, is the bounden duty of the towns
man to pas the cheer and encourage
ment the seeker ia after. There U no
ue in telling egregious lie that time
and investigation will instantly dis
prove; but the hearty, kindly, prideful.
hopeul word ia all essential and mu-i
paa with all the honest assurance that
ran be lent to it. There is r.o place on
earth that ha not drawback, some
quality or condition that need amend
ment, and nxvt traveler are well aware
of thi and can make all the allowance
necessary; but they do want to know
tbe beat ami brightest and mo-t fortun
ate thing that can be straightforwardly
Mud for tbe place and the are what
yon must tell him first. Deception never
win; the man who travels genciwlly ha
hi eye open ami is just a wise a ,ou
ai. He appreciate a square deal and
take the good with the bad wherever
he 8n! them. The knocker is more
than knocker, he' a blamed fool. nd
it k regwr.led. by the. stranger and o
known by hi fellow-townsmen. He i in
th way of both and a blight to himself.

LIQUOR AND CARDS.
It to hard to measure the relative

be prosecuted with freedom from the
collateral tic of drink, except by the

STUDENTS GREAT PRODUCTION.
The many local societies and women'
club all over the United States that
have given readings from Longfellow'
Hiawatha, in costume-, or for the mere
beauty of the reading of the quaint
poem' rythmic metre will find inter
esting the following account of i't first
presentation by Indian which occurred
l Chiloceo, Oklahoma, last month from
text adapted from the poem by instruc
tors at th Indian school there.
About forty young Indiau men and
women were in tha cast. Their cos
tume were, historically correct, Hiawa
tha wore potion of the historic and sa
cred wampum belts of the Wyandotte,
tribe, which descended to him a heir
looms. It is asserted that these shell
Wa.fs were made a early a the four
teenth century. The performance was
givea out of doors. In little valley
near the school buildings is a lagoon
about three hundred vards in width
and a quarter of a mile in length. Here
a large platform or staj.-e proiiably
eighty feet wide and forty feet deep
was built on piling about one hundred
and fiftv feet t'lxim the et shore on
which tier of seat were erected for the
peclatot 1
With much labor the Indian students
transformed thi platform into a forest.
At csch side of the edge of the forest
stood a white tepee, and at the door of
one blared a fire. From the shore to each
enl of the sUg wvre strung cables of
incandescent lights, while electric reflec
tors floored the stae with light hcn
the incandescent were darkened.
Long he-ore twilight visitors began
arriving from the country and nearby
town in carriage-, wagons and on hflrse

the perfivfttianc) began at eight o'clock.
The Indian tudents seated themsel
ves on the soft turf at the margin of
the lake. They rep rented moi-t of

and talked in whisper of what they
saw. Rippling in the night wind the
intern of the lagoon seemed to go rush

river, the w a ve sparkhng and shimmer

BUY IN THE SUMMER
Reduction of Freight Rates on
Coal Authorized.
URGESHIPMENTSOFCOAL NOW
To Avoid Repetition of La it Winter'
Coal Famina Union Pacific and Oregon
Short Lino Permitted to Reduce Rtte
on Coal During Summer.
NEW YORK, July SO.-To" tlmutate
the purchase of coal during th summer
months when the greatest number of
ear foe this purpose are available, the
(ntersUtt Com mere Commission, at
the request of the Union Pacific lbiil
road and the Oregon Short Line, have
especially authorised a reduction of 25
cent a ton on coal shipped to Washing
ton, Idaho and Nevada between July lt
and September I.
For the hX two month official of the
llitrriman lines have been endeavoring
to indxioe western coal dealer to make
their shipments thi summer in order to
avoid a recurrence of last winter' fuel
scarcity. The difficulty then in supply
ing coal to th western state grew
paitbj. out of shortage of equipment and
partly from the fact that order were
delayed until weather conditions made
freight movement slow and difficult.
The Union Pacific, therefore look the
unusual step of applying to the Inter
state Commerce" Cummission to be al
lowed to make a reduction in it rate in
order to get the co-operation of dealers
in shipping the fuel now, when the
railroads are in good shape to handle it
promptly.
