Senator-elect Ryan and wife enjoyed a
two weeks visit in the west and no where did
they find more to interest them than at
Guthrie City, Oklahoma.
"Judge Commager, Major Dood, George
Vrooman. Ed. Dodd and ex-Constable Up
ham are there" said Mr.. Ryan and they have
some of the best land in Guthrie, being right
in town. If Guthrie should be made the
capital they will be we'll fixed. The Judge
and the Major have hung out shingle bear
ing the inscription "Commager & Dodd,
Attorneys at Law" Of course there is not
much law business for anybody but there are
plenty of lawyers just the same. Dodd is
popular out there with his smooth easy style
and wouldn't be surprised to see him Gov
ernor or United States Senator after they get
into statehood"
How did they happen to get such good
land ?"
swell. that's question. They have as
good land as anybody in Guthrie. lam told
Maj. Dodd dill the locating. He is a fine
horseman, a regular Indian, and was on the
line at noon when the territory was opened.
Nobody had fieeter horse and the Major
shot for Guthrie on the jump. He evidently
knew right where to go and that gave him an
advantage. People who did not know the
surveyed lines had to locate haphazard. I
also saw d. w. Gibbs out there. He was once
an architect in Toledo you will remember.
He is preaching for some church out there.
His son is with him, but they will not be able
to hold their claims. They are what are
called "sooners," having got into the strip on
railroad land ahead of time, and as this is in
violation of law, others who came in later
filed claims against them"

E-The farmers are not readily misled by
Democratic tariff smashers. They have de-
monstrated their capacity to protect them
selves. They can produce the beet and
sorghum and supply themselves with sweets,
and be in a great measure independent of
foreign Observation-Disclosures Republican.
Well, that's gall for you. The farmers can
protect themselves! How? By raising beets
and sorghum and making their own sugar!
That it, let the tariff continue to rob the
farmer, and fhe doesn't want to purchase
sugar on tariff basis, let him raise .his own
sugar, or do without. But the farmers do
not intend to stand this, they are getting
their eyes open, and don't intend to be hood
winked by such Republican argument as the
above any longer. They are bound to be at
least on an equal footing with othe, indus
tries, and be in position to enjoy some of
the luxuries of life, and eat the same sugar
that the protected party does, or see what's
the reason.

One wet evening, however, Willie
Ransom got Jack TO 60, just because
there was nothing else TO do. There
was a short paper being read on Fish
Scales" and a number Of them were
mounted for microscopical examina-
ton, of course with a low power. say
inch and half inch. Anything relat.
ing TO fish or fishing was certain to
gam Jacks attention, therefore a bet
ter subject could not have been select
ed TO engage his notice. Besides, Jack
had never yet even looked through a
microscopic He felt a bit ashamed of
this now; but there were a couple of
microscopes present, and Jack deter.
mined 10 haze a good look through
them. The scales OF different sorts of
British fishes were ON view. OF course,
fish scales are common enough; but
who would think that each kind has
its own pattern Of scale, and that you
could tell a species of fish by its
scalesl
The paper showed that the scales of
fishes were composed of the same ma
terlal, chitine. as the feathers of birds,
or the hair aud nails of animals-a
kind Of substance only found in the
animal kingdom, and never in the
vegetable; that these scales are devel-
oped in little pockets in the fsh's skin,
which you can plainly see for your
self when Il herring is scaled. They
are arranged all over the iish's body
like lhe tiles covering q roof, partly
overlapping each other, as is seen BY
one part of the scale being often diff.
ferent from the other.
Jack looked through the microscope
and was delighted. He was always q
reverent minded boy. and the sight
broke on his mind like a new revela-
ton. How exquisitely chased and
beautiful were the markings, lines,
dots and other peculiaritiesl Then the
scales which run along the middle
line of the fish were shown him, and
the ducts p%erforating them, out of
which the mucus flows 10 anoint the

One very warm night last summer
/ happened TO be standing in the back
yard of a representative rookery in
Clabber alley near an old chicken
coop. The Moon was shining upon
the coop, and as / stood in the shadow
Of the house | noticed the head of a
gray and grizzled rat thrust from a
neighboring rathole, and concluded TO
watch the movements of the veteran.
After a careful survey Of the surround
ings, the old rodent made a cautious
exit from the home retreat and moved
cautiously To a pan of water standing
near. Presently five half grown young
ones pushed out and raced 10 see WHICH
was the first to the water. The old
rodent seemed much alarmed, and,
with n bound, leaped TO the edge
of the pan, raised herself on her
launches and bit and scratched at her
offspring whenever they attempted to
reach the pan. Presently | learned
the reason Of the mother rats actions.
After she had succeeded i'm chasing
the young ones back into their hole,
she wet her whiskers in the water,
looked rather suspiciously about, and
slipped the water very cautiously, as if
TO learn whether or not il contained
poisonous or deleterious matter. Then,
after a satisfied glance all round she
caves squeak, and the five young rats
came running out and all drank their
fill. The noise of the sergeant's club
at the corner Of the house frightened
them off and | had TO go.-St. Louis
