Hundreds of White Men Have ritrhed Tents Alone Choctaw Country. 1 NDKFENDEXOE,Kan., Nov. 2. Dur ing tho last six weeks the matrimonial business in tho Choctaw Nation, In dian Territory, has been at Its high est. All along tho borders of that country there have beon bundrods of tents pitched and occupied by white men hunting squaw wives. For many years a white rata marry ing a Choctaw 6quaw immediately camo into possession of Ofty-five acres of choice, land in that nation and was allotted so much money yearly by tho government for each member of bis family. Consequently the more chil dren in the family, the larger tho amount of money received. This rule and the fact that the Choctaw girls aro very attractive have made them much sought aftor by the white men A fow weeks ago the Dawes commis sion issued an ordor providing that aftor November 1. lS99,a man who was not of Choctaw blood marrying an Indian woman should not be allowod to share in the lands and moneys cf tho tribe. This ruling caused the men who were anxious to share the fortunes of squaws to marry much eirlier than they had intended. Consequently the Chictaw nation baa been filled with white men bunt ing wives and eincu this order was made more than 600 white men have married equaw wives. The great ma jority of the Choctaw girls aro pure white and have beautiful complexions. Most of them have black hair and eyes, although a few of them are per feet blondes. As a rule tney are h zbly educated anu if they have any white blood in them at all they will not marry Indians aod the white men have heretofore been somewhat in demand. The pirls marry at tho age of seventeen. Accept Only Toke Money. Havana, Nov. 2. Voctpr H.

If the sponge as 'brought up fresh from the sea-bottom were a familiar object, says Doctor Lydokker. few would be in doubt as to its being an animal. AVhen fresh, it is a fleshy looking substance covered with a firm skin, and if cut it presents somewhat the appearance of raw meat. Its cav ities are filled with a gelatinous sub stance called "milk." American sponges and those of 'all other parts of .the world are inferior to the sponges of the. eastern shores of the Mediterranean. The finest of all sponges is the Turkey toilet sponge, which is cup-shaped. The American sponge most nearly ap proaching it in quality is the West Indian glove sponge. He Fooled the Surgeons.
