 It is well to say to people about to rush to Oklahoma that distance | lends enchantment to the view" in re- gard to that country, as it is swept by | fiigid north winds in winter, hail storms crush down vegetation in spring and summer, followed by hurricanes and cyclones which blow away what Is left, while chilis and fever rat tie the very bones of buried people near the streams, and there are plenty buried there At certain season of the year 1t Is, of course, a pretty coun try to look at. Ever since the days of Adam and Eve the human race has desired that which is forbidden, and because Uncle Sara has said to the ''boomer," thus far shalt thou go, and no further," the attractions of the for
 bidden country have been magnified and exaggerated until many consider 1t perfect paradise. when, as mat ter of fact, with little attention to
 water storage, there Is more good land
 and far superior climate right in the
 Agua Fria valley than in the Oklaho
 ma country to be thrown open. The
 Courier man was all through that sec | ton in '75.-Prescott Courier.
 One man will be drunk in his head
 while his legs are as the legs of a tee
 totaler, while another's head will be
 as clear as bell, while his legs bend
 in the wrong direction at the knees,
 intertwine in the most intricate and
 surprising way and, in general, act
 like the flexible arms of the octopus
 In this latter case it could hardly be
 said that man is drunk when it was
 apparent that but portion of him
 was, as the NOctes Ambrosian9 has it,
 civilated. Casuistry would have to
 be brought to bear in discussing the
 question: When one half of man
 Is drunk and the other half Is sober,
 in what condition is the man, consider
 ed as totality? It is as if a man,
 seeing a child emerging from a half
 orphan asylum, should wonder which
 half of the lad was an orphan.-Ex-
