ASK ME NO MORE.
Ask me no more; the moon may draw
the set;
The cloud may stoo|l from heaven
and take the shape
With fold to fold, of mountain or of
cape;
But O too fond. When have I answered
thee* '
Ask me no more.
Ask me no more; what answer should
1 give?
I love not hollow cheek or faded
eye;
Yet, O my friend, 1 will not have
1bee die!
Ask me no more, lest i should bid
thee live;
Ask me no more.
Ask me no mor*; thy fate and mine
are sealed;
I strove against the stream and all
in vain;
Let the great river take me to the
main;
No more, dear love, for at a touch 1
yield;
Ask me no more.
—Lord Tennyson.

Don’t Buy a “Dummy Suit”

He’s made of Wood this Fellow

Suit looks as Good a year after he
has worn it as the first day he had
it put on.
If Mr. Dummy were the only
one to wear the ordinary Suit—ail
would be well.
For then the Improper Cutting,
the Unskilful Tailoring and above
all the Hot Pressing Old Doctor

in the ordinary Suit, wouldn't be

NOTED INDIAN’S LIFE.
Sketch of General Pleasant Porter,
Who Died at Vlnita.
Muskogee, I. T.-hi the fullness of
years, aged 07. after the accomplish-
ment of iasks which to other lban a
"Hondmarted man" like himself would
have been insurmountable, (leu. Fleas
ant Porter departed tills life Tuesday
morning at an early hour at Vlnita.
while on his way to Missouri, where
he was the defendant in the suit of
A. P, Murphy vs, P. Porter, In which
Mr, Murphy, formerly attorney for the
Creek Indians, having been appointed
by General Porter* and subsequently
dismissed, sought to recover salary
which he claimed was due him. Lust
night, while on the train between Mus
kogee and Vinlia, General Porter was
stricken with paralysis He was taken
from the train at Vlnita by friends,
and a* a result of the attack he died
Born In 1840, about 12 miles from
Muskogee, where the town of (’larks
ville now stands, he has witnessed a
change in the land of his birth which
seems almost as marvelous as the
* seven wonders of the world.” And In
the redemption of this land from Its
chaotic, crude and semi civilized con-
dition to Its present slams of clvill/.n
tIon, no man has played so stellar a
part as himself He molded Hie des
Hull's of the (.’reek Nation and shaped
Its Important politics.
Upon the paternal aide, Pleasant
Porter descended from a prominent
Pennsylvania family, many of whose
member* hate been distinguished
statesmen, soldiers and sailors. His
great-grandfather was Andrew .1 pur
ter. a resident of Norristown, Pa. His
grandfather, John Snodgrass Porter,
also a native of Norristown, was a
captain of the regular army and at
one of the darkest hours In the history
of Hie Muskogean confederation he
proved himself so true a friend to the
Indian that they adopted him as a
member of their nation, tire special
service which he performed having
been that of mediator, by which he
saved a large portion of the people
from massacre at a bloody reprisal •
following Fort Minims.
Capfaln Porter's son, Benjamin Ed-
ward Porter, was horn in the old
Creek nation, near Fort Michael,
which is situated in Bussell county, '
Alabama, near the Georgia line, and
lived among ihe people by wlipm he
bad been adopted. Ho was a funner
and stock raiser He married Phoebe,
a daughter of Tab lo-pee Tust-e-nuk*
hec, and superintended the manage
meni of his plantation and the rajs
ing of stock at his home upon the Ar
Kansas river, near the village of
Clarksville, where he was born.
For some years General Porter put-
sued his education hi the Presbyterian
school at Tallahassee, which was then
an Indian school, since changed to a
chnol for the negroes by the depart
meat of the interior After leaving
school be accepted i clerkship In a
tore, where he remained lor a short
times, arid in 18U0 he drove cattle to
New Mexico. He expected to go to
the mines, hut the rumors of Impend
| Ing war canned him to change his
plans and he returned borne, where
the following spring he enlisted in the
i Confederate service as a member of
! Company A of the 1st Creek regiment,
j IBs gallantry and bravery won him
! promotion until he became a first lieu-
| tenant. He served throughout the
war, and while acting as guard for
j Governor Throckmorton arid John II.
’ Reagan, who were commissioners
from the Confederacy to make treaties
] with the Comanche Indians, be was
j notified of the close of hostilities,
in 18U5 General Porter returned to
his home and the -close of the war
found him. like all other young men
j of his nation, face to face with new
j and difficult problem*. Accustomed
j to the luxurious, easy life Of a south-
ern planter, he found himself almost
penniless. The servants had been
freed, stock confiscated and nothing
hut hope, courage and determination
remained. Upon him also rested (ho
responsibility of providing for his
widowed mother und orphan sisters
and brothers. After a successful ven-
ture in cut tie raising, general store
business and farming, he was called
upon to take charge of the educational
affairs of Hu* Creek Nation as super-
intendent. of schools. The trouble
throughout the war bad broken up
the schools ot the country, so that the
work ot beginning everything anew
devolved upon him, and l.ie gave to
this, bis first public effort, the zealous,
clear-sighted service which was char
aeterlstie of his work for his people.
In St Louis in 1871 General Porter
was united in marriage to Miss Mary
Kllen Keys, a daughter of Judge
Riley Keys, who for a quarter of ft
century was the chief justice of the
Cherokee Nation. Mrs. Porter was a
woman of education, culture and re-
finement and sincerely loved by ftU
who knew her. To them were horn
three children, William Adair, Pleas-
ant S. and Atuiettu Mary, the latter,
the youngest, being now at home In
Ibis city. Some time after the death
of his first wife General Porter tnar
lied her cousin. Mattie I^enora Bert*
hoff. who died about 181*2, leaving a
little daughter, Lenora.
General Porter was a prominent:
Mason, having attained the Knight
Templar and thirty second degrees,
while of the Mystic Shrine he was
also a representative. There are men
in every community who are leaders
of public thought, feeling and action,
and such a man was General Porter,
whose efforts In behalf of his people
have been more pronounced and bene-
ficial than those of almost any other
citizen. He has honored the people
who have honored him, and his record
is considered indeed u crdlt to the
territory.
General Porter has a long record of
public service, beginning with his
work in connection with the educa-
tional Interest* of the’ Creek Nation,
and was characterized by throe presi-
dents, Cleveland, McKinley arid
Roosevelt, as the “greatest living In-
dian.”
General Porter leaves an estate
easily worth $100,0(10. His youngest
daughter. Lenora, aged IN, Is the only
unmarried child.
He who should teach men to die
would at the same time teach theft!
