ONE of the most powerful far
tors in ttie settlement of the
Cherokee Strip in an Indian.
His name in IV tin in W.
Itusuyhead, anil be was for eight year
the principal chief of the Cherokee.
Hi baa been an eventful and suc
rnesful career, as career ate measured
ij white men. Ha is sixty-seven
yours oM, and bin lif" baa beeu one of
incessant activity, in which lirt baa at
once com man (led the or-tnplcto confi
dence of the Cherokee Nation and the
respect of business men aud officials
with whom be hat eoino in contact.
Chief Iiushyher.d baa many warm
friend throughout the West, and
wherever be goes is aure of a hospitable-
welcome. When be talk of bis
own career he i very entertaining,
and ia always certain of ntUntiyo lis
tener. He wan in Wichita. Kan., one
night recently, and for several hours
entertained half a wore of hi friends
in bia room. He told of hi early boy
hood among bia tribe in North Caro
lina and Tennessee, of hi removal to
the Indian Iauda now embracing the
Cherokee Nation, over which be pre
sided for many year.
In tho course of the evening he grew
reminiscent and told ninny stories, il
lustrative of the development of the
(I rent Went, which bo ha seen xpriug
from a wildcrneaa to a mighty empire.
"Well do I remetuber,"' said the old
chieftain, "a visit made by (ietieral
Wiulleld Scott to my father'a house in
Tennesson. I wa tlfteeti years old
then, and the great soldier cume to
our reservatiou to tell u that our
bunting grounds were wauled by the
whites, and that we must move Went.
Moat of the tribe submitted, but prob
ably n thonsand of them bid in the
bill and kept the aoldier busy in
rounding them up for a long time.
They never succeeded fully in this,
and doubtless there are some members
of the race there yet, who have as
similated with the white people.
"Forty-four year ago, within a
atouc's throw of the Uuiou Depot iu
Kansas City," coutiuued Ihishyheud,
"1 tilted myself out for a trip across
tho 'Great. American Desert.' It was
at the breaking out of the gold excite
ment in California, nnd gold bad a
many attraction then for n youug
Iudian brave as for the most ambitious
white man. For eighteen years I re
mained ou the l'acitie coast aud did
not return to my people, uutil 1807.
Then I brought w ith me S10OO.
"I suffered many hardships in those
rs, but hardships were in my line
i, and T ' not mind them purlieu
I a. . u the then
I- . .JHl.i-M,
..uue of permanent habita
on, ana the man who would then
ave predicted that a great State
would be carved out of that wide waste
would have been adjudged iusaue.
"After all, my life bus not differed
much from that of the average white
man. A mistaken idea prevails con
cerning the Cherokee Indians. They
ire a civilized race. I do not know a
single tuiiu iu the Cherokee Nation who
has not adopted the habits and cus
toms of the white people. We have,
good schools and churches, aud in fact
all of the institution of civilized
communities. Wo are proud of them
uud give them hearty support. The
Nation now ha a population of iiu,-
000 prosperous people.
"Do you know," said lie, a he
poured a liberal dram from a bottle of
old brandy, "that the Cherokeos are
pioneers in the cause of prohibition?
1 think you peoplu here iu Kansas got
that idea from us. Iu 1819 the Nation
passed a prohibition luw, aud in 1S:2)
a law was euaeted by the Cherokee
Nation for tho suppression of polyg
amy. In thut, you see, we were fur
iu advance of tho American Govern
ment." Chief Bushy heal is an object of a
great deul of attention when he visits
eastern cities. It i bis custom, when
lie goea to New York, Washington ami
other points, to "hide out" from the
reporters, because ho says they are
always after hiui.
Ou the occasion above referred to,
when the old chief was in his happiest
mood, he related one in:ideut that
was very pleasing to bis listeners. He
was in New York, aud bad successfully
evaded the newspaper men for three
days. "Finally," lie said, "a Herald
man found me out. I had remaiued
iu my room, with instructions to the
clerk to admit no one. A rap on my
door brought me face to face with a
reporter. I invited bitu in and we
chatted for half au hour on general
topics, when be left, assuring me that
our talk was informal aud not to be
published. The next, tnoruiug I got
bold of a copy of the paper aud there
was a two-eolumu interview. I read
long into the middle of the second
column and could ttud no fault with
the article; but the latter part was a
stunner. The reporter printed a
questiou put to me, imiuiriug my
views about the final obliteration of
tho Indian tribes aud the recovery of
our rich lands by tho whites. Then
came the funny part. He made me
jump to my feet, give a war whoop,
rip out a dirk from my boot top and
burl anathemas upon a Government
that would thus attempt to rob my
people of lands that were justly their
own. That scene, as described by the
reporter, would do credit to the yellow-bank
literature of the present day.
Of course, nothiug of the kind hap
pened, but it gave the Herald man a
a scoop and caused a legion of re
porters to crowd into mr hotel for a
look at my dirk before I bad finished
my morning meal."
Chief Bushy bead. hcn the arrange
ment for opening the Cherokee Strip
were completed, was given the choice
of any 1 GO acres in the country, just
twice a much as any other Indian.
He selected what is now the Kite of
the thriving city of Kildare. He still
retain bin resideucc ou bis magnifi
cent ranch in the Cherokee Nation,
but is devoting his time, money and
influence to the upbuilding of Kildare
and the surrounding country. Wash'

Doc and ( rane right It Out.
In tho fall a big white crane got in
the habit of Mealing fish from Mrs.
Myra Hooker's carp pond in Siekler'a
Creek, says a Scrauton (IV tin.) letter
to the New York Sun. The long
legged bird was so handsome that Mrs.
Hooker liked to look at it. and a
there were a good many more carp in
the pond than she could make use of,
she- let the crane como around and
help itself to fish hs often as it pleased,
llcfore long the crane saw that Mrs.
Hooker meant to be fricudly, for, in
stead of stealing up to the pond as it
had done nt first, it alighted near the
fiond as though it had a right to,
waded in leisurely, and soon nailed off
to the swamp with a carp flopping iu
its strong jaws.
Within a fortnight Mr. Hooker's
mongrel dog, Dick, began to ttke a
dislike to the big bird, and ono morn
ing he laid plan to nab it. He hid iu
some woods, aud when the crane
alighted be sprang out nt it, and met
with the sorriest surprise of his life.
Dick made a miss, and the spunky bird
hammered him on the head with his
loug bill, licked him iu less than a
minute, and sent him bowling to the
house with hi left eye badly bunged
up. Mr. Hooker saw the lively spat,
aud went to Dick's assistance. She
began to doctor the wounded eye, but
her tender nursing was iu vaiu, for
the crane's bill had pierced the centre
of the optic, and the sight was de
stroyed. Dick kept away from tho pond and
did a good deal of thinking while hi
wound wa healing. He must have
made up bis mind to have revenge on
the crane, Mrs. Hooker said, for as
soou as his eye bad got well ho crawled
under a root at the edge of the pond
one moruing aud concealed himself
till the crane waded iu, raised one
foot aud pretended to be -dozing,
when he made a spring and caught it
by the neck. The crane kicked and
flopped it wiugs, but Dick bad a good
hold, ami be hauled the strangling
fish thief out of the water, dragged it
around the meadow on a canter till he
had choked it to death, and then
snaked it to the doorvard, where he
dauced anil barked aronud it in tri
umph that he I killed the euemy
that had put ou? uis eye.
Fenian UifT Dwellers.
Tho a- " nsIi to-r"''rax is a suofl"
pct aud yellow mass of crowded
dwellings, appears to rise abruptly and.
close at baud above the level plain
which we 010 crossing. All at once a
profound ravine opens in front of ita,
and perched high up on the summit of
the yellow cliffs on the other sido n re
the houses which we saw from the
plain. Descending steeply to the pe b
bly lloor of Jhis ravine, which is nil
ancient river-bed, we tnrn to the left
and ride along under the perpendicu
lar ledge. There ore filthy pools along
the bottom of it, aud black slimy stains
descend the rocky wall from the rickety
wooden balconies aud projecting win
dow of the town above us. IT the
people overhead are dying of choler.t,
they are surely very ipiiet about it,
and there is no sign of life at any of
tho windows. We come to the chapur
khaneh inn on the other side of the
ravine. It is licked up, aud a little
further ou the ra inn opens ou to a
broad river, which we cross by abridge,
and enter au imposing csruvausary of
the time of Shah Abba.
In this way we avoid entering the
towu. The river is bordered on both
side by vertical cliff, aud from the
gate of the caravansary, looking back
ucruss the bridge, we get the most
striking view of Ye.dikhust. The long
ledge ou which it stands is pierced by
many caves and openings along the
top, aud frfim a distance it is difficult
to make out just where the towu be
gins, where the caves become windows
and doors. They are accentuated in
many places by jutting windows and
crazy-looking balconies propped 1y
sticks, at a great height above the
stream below. This long rock ends iu
a thin wedge where the ravine on tho
other side euters the river bed. Sepa
rated at the other end from the main
range ol cliffs by a species of draw
bridge, it can easily be made inac
cessible as a vulture's uest perched ou
a crag, aud the dark streaks which
stain the ciLls below beighteu the re
semblance to a roostiug-place of those
scavenger of the desert. Harper's

A unique exhibition in New York
consists of the instruments u cd in tor

Dark Ages. It comes from tho Royal
Castle of Nuremberg, although at
present it is owned by au F.nglish
nobleman, the Karl of Shrewsbury and
Talbot, who, iu the opiuioti of the
New York Press, must possess rather
an uncanny taste, for it is said that he
gathers these instruments ns a sort of
"hobby," in the same way a edd gen

Filtering Water ('pit aril.
An Italian inventor iu New Vork has
(ust devised a water filter, the princi
ple of which embodies a theory of his
own, that water is best filtered upward
instead of from the liottoui. The ad
vantage of tillering water upward
rather than downward is obvious.
When water is filtered downward it
bas to be strained through the accu
mulation of impurities. Iu filtering
upward the impurities fall to the bot
tom of the vessel. Chicago Times.
