Watkafla Tragedy.

! An eloquent Writer, predicting the
early disappearance of the Indians,
says “they Will live only in the songs
and chronicles of their exterminators;
let these be faithful to their rude vir—
tues.”
FEMININE CHAT.
The has-beens of life are a good deal
sharper to think about than the might-
have-beens.
Some particularly dainty leather
frames are used for the photographs of
foot-ball heroes.
The story of a man who, on being
cauvicted of a crime and sentenced to
imprisonment, was permitted to' visit
his family in a distant town unattended
by a guard, upon his promise to report
in person to the prison keeper on a cer-
tain day, and Who, like Pythias. faith-
fully kept his pledge, used to be print-
ed in the school readers 'a generation
ago as an example of integrity and an
inspiration to manly conduct. But all
- that has been surpassed in a story from
real life, the final incident of which
enacted last Sunday. And the hero
of this story was not a product of Cau-
casian or Christian civilazition, but a
Greek Indian, a member of one of the
five tribes which call themselves “na-
tions” and reside in the Indian Terri-
tory.
Shreds and patches of this strange
narrative have appeared from time to
time in the press dispatches, but it
seems to us, says the WashingtonPost,
well worthy of more prominent men-
tion; The American public has been
thoroughly instructed as to all that is
A. bad in the character and habits of the
red man, audit 'is’ only common fair-
, ness to see What is on the other side of
the picture.
The story opens early in the past
' summer, when two young Creek braves
Watka and Deer, met at a dance. It
~ happened that both of these gallants
were suito1s for the hand of the same
‘maiden, and She being at the dance,
trouble arose between them. There
.--was a short fight resulting in the death
of Deer. For this homicide Watka Was
tried under. the laws of his tribe, was
found guilty of murder, and sentenced
- to be shot at a date early in August.

Artificial plants have achieved such
a degree of perfection that they are
now used by people who heretofore
deemed them essentially vulgar.
When a‘man is willing to wait for his
sweetheart at the entrance of a shop
simply crowded with women shoppers
he p1 0v es his devotion more than by
W01ds.
A woman with pretty hair can im-
press the world at large that she is
beautiful if she only manages it right.
The woman who can wear a big

to the shoulder of a bright blue
gown and appear absolutely uncon-
scious that she does not look truly au

Brandy Sauce—This is served with
rich plum puddings, and may be pre-

be urged' 1n such a case, but Indianjus-
tice is the sternest article of the kind
that we have in the United States. Im- '
mediately on conviction the condemned ' '
man was released on parole, as others
‘ under the same circumstances had
been. N0 bond, no surety of any kind,
nothing but his pledge to ieport for ex- '
caution was required. How many=r
Americans are there who would keep
(u’ch a. promise? “All that a man has
will, he give for his li Ie;” and that 13 l
the rule. But the Creek Indians show
exceptions. To them life 19 less valu-
able than honor. Watka could kill his *
rival in love in the heat o’f'passion, but
he would not violate his promise to save
his life. He married the girl on whose
account he fought and killed Deer, and
when the day of execution approached,
he made preparations to die. In other
Words, he made every possible provis-
ion for the support of his widow.
But he was not to die at the time first
appointed. He was a member of a fa-
mous. Indian baseball team, and a num-
ber of games in which he was needed
had been scheduled. For this reason,
and for this alone, strange as it may
appear in the light of our higher civil-
ization, he was reprieved till the last
day of October in order that he might
fill his baseball engagements. Last
week the games ended, and on Sunday
Watka repo1 ted to the Creek authori-
ties to pay his debt. A press dispatch
thus describes what follows:
“Watka set out alone to the public
execution grounds. In due time he
arrived. The crowd was waiting. The
prisoner assumed his position on bended
knees, with arms tied behind and a
blindfold over his eyes. ' The rifle was
in the hands of a good marksman; there.
was a sharp crack and the White spot'
marked for the heart was discolor d
with the spurting blood caused by the
creamy. Serve with- any plain boiled
pudding.
