All correspondence should be ao-

We Invariably ciscontlnue sending
r he Ledger when a subscription runs
;ut, for we have no way of knowing
that a person wants It except by re* *
ceiving his or her renewal. We ur*
gently solicit a prompt renewal, on
the ground that the paper Is worth
the money. We are trying month
by month to make it better and bet
ter.
NOTICE TO CITY SUBSCRIBERS.
Beginning next Tuesday The Led
ger will discontinue its carrier ser
vice, and all papers intended for city
subscribers will be placed in the post-
office. This change is made necessary
because we are unable to get the pa
pers delivered with regularity.
NOTES AND CuMMEMTS.
The business outlook was never bet
ter. With fewer liens, less mortgages,
and some money in the pockets of our
people, Cherokee has her head up and
tail over the dashboard and is going
it at a 2.40 gait.

Hie cheapest thing on earth is the
i»,.ffney Ledger at $1.00 a year. Think
of it—108 papers a year for $1.00, or
less than one cent apiece. Every
family in Cherokee should have a
copy. If your neighbor bothers you
by borrowing your copy call his atten
tion to this fact.

What do you think about the issu-
I see her.” And we could
not help but admire the sentiment and
the man who could give utterance to
It. and we said to ourself: “The coun
try is not going to the bow wows so
long as such men inhabit it.
SOME ADVICE FOR WIVES.
Would Not Have Hubby Made Nurse
and Assistant Chambermaid.
(Washington Times.)
Are you one of those women who
continually request your husband to
run get you this, that, or the other as
long as he is about the house? Do
you habitually call him back from the
corner to mail a letter or give him a
sample of silk to match? Does he no
sooner sit down than you ask him to
run upstairs and get baby’s pins, or
take the small child walking, or run
around the corner and get the meat
for supper?
There are misguided wives who
make it a constant practice to keep
the man of the house fetching and
carrying for themselves and baby from
the time he enters the door until bed
time and all dav Sunday. It’s “Tom,
get me this,” and “Tom, please bring
me that,” until in the eyes of a third
party Tom’s uosition in the home ap
pears to be that of a well-trained ser
vant.
The Poor, Patient Worse Half.
It is hardly fair to let him drop to
that, is it? Do you reallv require that
he should go into bondage of this sort
to you and baby? He does it patient
ly, maybe, but it wears on him : and
hurts his self-respect. Why don’t you
do your own buying, and mail your
own letters, and match our own sam
ples? Why don’t you have the baby’s
things handy, so he won’t have to
wait on you hand and foot when
you’re busy with the little one?
What would you think if your hus
band brought home a lot of his office
work for you to do at night? Suppose
he expected you to spend your spare
hours clerking for him and helping
him with his bills and accounts?
Ridiculous .wouldn’t it be? Yet, for
some reason, you expect him to act
as second housemaid and assistant
child’s nurse the whole time he is
away from his office.
In Times of Need, Yes.
Nine times out of ten it’s simply a
habit that gets you into this practice.
Of course there are exceptional cases
of illness which make it necessary for
a faithful husband to step into the
shoes of a domestic help and assist
with the meals and the children. But

That there are other ways of dis
abling a bear than by hobbling his legs |
appears to be borne out by a careful
examination of the peace treaty be
tween Japan and Russia, says the
Washington Star. Jap'’n astonished the
world by receding from her demand
for Indemnity, and the work of the
Russian plenipotentiaries was ballet!
as a masterpiece of diplomacy. At the
same time, when M. Witte and Baron
Rosen signed the treaty at Portsmouth
the other day it contained as article
11 the following terms:
"Russia engages herself to make an
agreement with Japan giving to Japa
nese subjects the right to fish in Rus
sian territorial waters in the sea of
Japan the sea of Okhotsk and Bering
sea.”

With joyous yells, more than a score
of cadets at West Point who were
doomed to walk “punishment tours?’
made the old academy ring the other
night, says a West Point special dls
patch to the New \ork- World.
By an order published at supper all
cadets enduring punishment for breach
of discipline are pardoned as a per
sonal favor to Sergius Witte, the senior
Russian peace envoy, and in honor of
his recent visit to the United States
Military academy. It was through M.
Witte’s intercession that (ieneral Mills
issued the order.
By pardoning those men the football
squad will be augmented by a num
ber who have proved stars in the past
and whose services are needed this
fall. Marty of the men’s sentences ran
well up into next year.
The order as published says this ac
tion is taken as a compliment to the
distinguished envoys and as a mark
of regard to the great nation they rep
resent.

waters in the far east mentioned in the sticks, and the demands of the femi-
treaty there might seem little eonnoe- nine world will stimulate their ourios-
tion between fishing rights In the three Uy. *
seas named and in the gulf of Tartyiry,
but, us a matter of fact, they mean
that in less than fifteen years Japan
will have been benefited financially
from these rights in an amount that
far exceeds the $000,000,000 asked for
indemnity, and in addition to this she
will have secured an outlet for her fish
ing fleets that are now praetici ll.t con
fined to strictly Japanese wat rs, hav
ing no other territory than th it of Ja
pan on which they might land to mend
nets, pack their catch, etc.
Officials of the government at Wash
ington who have looked into he matter
of Japanese fisheries are ret -ent in ex
pressing their views in tin premises.
It was learned, however, ft >m an ex
amination of the
lug territory and comparing the fisher
ies statistics of Japan with those of
Russia and the western roast of Amer
ica, that Japan will double her reve
nue from fisheries by her recent trans
action. The last year’s receipts in Ja
pan from the fisheries amounted in
round numbers to $30,000,000.
A glance at tin* map of eastern Asia
shows that Sakhalin, or Snghalien, is
land is separated, from the mainland
by the gulf of Tartary and Amur gulf.
Sakhalin is north of Yesso, the northern
most of the larger islands included in
the Japanese group. A narrow line ol
small islands of the Japanese empire
extends north of Yess »to the Kamchat
kan peninsula. The sheet of water
between this line of islands and the
Siberian coast is called the sea of <»k
hotsk. The gulf of Amur is an arm
of this sea. The part of Sakhalin is
laud ceded to Japan by Russia includes
that part lying south of the fiftieth
parallel. This is half of the island as
far as length is concerned, but it is a
little less than half its area.
In that pari of the gulf of Tartary
between Sakhalin and the Siberian
coast is said to lie part of the richest
fishing grounds in the world. Japanese
fishermen have been unable to fish
these waters stiec. ssfully owing to the
prohibition against thoiji landing on
Russian territory or coming within
Russian territorial limits, three miles
from the coast.
It is off this tract that the Japanese
have iveivcl fishing rights. ¥ By the
penni—i >o io fish within the territorial
limits of Russ, i is meant the right to
1. ml. men 1 net . puck the catch, etc.,
so that it will now be possible for
Japan to : •• t!’ ; s ast stre'ch that had
previously been < losed to her.
The p.ir! of SAvhaiin which Japan
nbt tb, I '- in Russia includes about all
of the i-1 ml Unit is good for anything,
it is s |,|, as far as fishing bases and
it i lug are uwero 'd. But in ease the
Japanese tied it agreeable to fish fur
ther .along lie* 1 .bind's coast the terms
of the trc-:ly xuve them permission to
go aroun I it and into tin* Okhotsk sea.
II vowing open thousands of square
miles m ti siting grounds that may bo
covered with Japanese fleets. It Is
«: III that Russia lias done practically
nothing to develop (his part of the ro-
<oi refs of her Asiatic territory, and
the .1 .panose have been crowded and
jammed together in the routined limits
of their old fisheries.
With tbe throwing open of the new
wafers by the terms of the peace trea
ty the li bing industry all along tiie
north coast of Siberia will bo devel
oped to Its fullest extent. It is said
, at the United States fish commission
, that the fishing rights granted Japan
by the treaty will make her a very
close competitor of the United States In
the cod, salmon, herring, whale and
I seal fisheries and that the waters she
has obtained are in every way equal to
those controlled by the United States.
It is pointed out that the United
States paid Russia an Insignificant sum
for the soul fishing rights in the Ber
ing sea and that these fishiTies are
now paying $:»o,0<MUHK) u year. When
Inpan asked for the whole of Sakhalin
Island It was estimated that the ln-
•renso of territorial waters wouhkglve
her an increase of $.">,000,000 annually
from her fisheries, and It Is believed
that with - the addition of the rights se
cured In Russian territory this Increase
will be doubled.

Both Mr. Savage anil Mr. Pierce "have
no end of anecdotes to tell about Mr.
Bacon when they feel so Im-lined, says
the New York Herald. Doubtless
i’rertdenf Roosevelt eoirtd do the same
if he chose.
“When we were all in* college to
gether,'' said Mr. Pierce, “the roller
skating, craze was at its height. A
crowd of us boys went to a rink o:e-
night to- see the run. Bacon was of)
the number. He had uevor boon on i
roller skates in his life—in- fact, had )
never se«m the sport before. After j
he watched Uie people eln le around
for a few minutes he said in a half
disgusted tone that there wn* no trick
about that—that any one could be a
roller skater at the first trial.
“Some of the rest of us who had been
on roller skates thought differently.
We knew what annoying and deceit
ful little things they were. We knew
how easy it was to have your feet go
out from under you and come down
with more or less of a disgraceful
thud.
“ ‘Why,’ said Bob, T bet I could put
on a pair of skates now a ad go round
that rink the- very first time without
falling down.’
“lie found plenty of takers at once
The bet we made was to lie a dinner
for the who! > party. I think there
were eight or ten of us. It was to be
no ordinary table d’hote dinner, but
the real . thing, with champagne.
Young's was the place, I believe, that
we selected to have it in.
“Wall, Bob got a pair < r skates and
strapped them on. lie started off pret
ty wabbly, but still he managed to
keep going. Ii< was a great, big husky
fellow, and he seemed even bigger then j
as a boy than he does now as a man.
1 remember how funny he looked wig- j
g!iug along on the skates, with an ex- i
[ire sicn on his face that would do j
honor to a Christian martyr.
“Ills progress was pretty slow, to be i
sure, but after awhile he gor. nearly I
around th” rink, and we thought surely
that we had lost. Just then a small
boy who did not look more than two
feet high alongside of Bob's six dashed ]
out ou the rink, and ran slap into him.
Bob went down with a hang that al
most shook the building. As he slipped
along, his feet Just came to the line
which would have comple ed bis circle.
He did not cry-baby, however, but got
up, kicked the skates off. tossed them
as far as he could and said. ‘The din
ners are on me; come ou. boys.’
“That is the kind of a man Bob Ba
con is, always ready to do his part and
to take bis nit ishtnent like a man.”
