ABOUT RED HAIR.
1t Has Long Been Held in Ill-Repute, and
as Indicating yillainy.

1t Has Long Been Held in Ill-Repute, and
as Indicating yillainy.
For centuries the popular notions
throughout Europe associated hair OIL
this unlucky color with villainy, I'M
trutworthiness and deceit. In Henry
Bebels recollection Of Proverbs, pub
lished in 1912, occurs the following:
proud are the short, untrustWorthy
the red-haired.
An old French proverb, which is
known to be over five hundred years
old, says: Salute red-haired man
or bearded woman at thirty feet off
with three stones in thy fists to de-
fend thee if need be. .
In very early times all pictures OF
Judas, Christ's betrayer, were shown
with great shocks of red hair falling
down we'll on the shoulders. This
and the fact that the Judas in the
Miracle Plays" was provided with a
red hirsute worked the superstitious
people of the middle ages up to such
a degree that it was actually unsafe
for red-haired person to appear in
company. Seeing that things were
coming to a serious pass, writer's OF
all classes began to rebuke and de-
nounce "the senseless prejudice
against those of lively colored hair. :"
Cyrano de Bergerac, in his Estates
and Empires of the Sum-" boldly
praised and glorified the despised
color in the following words:
"a brave head, covered with red
hair, is nothing else but the sun in
the midst of his rays, yet many speak
i'll of it because few have the honor
to be So"
The objective, "Judas-colored hair"
and many similar illusions are often
met with in writings of the older
authors. In "As You Like It.,
Rosalind says of Orlando, "His very
hair is of that assembling color" to
which Celia replies, "Something
browner than Judas"
Dryden in writing of Jacob Ton
son, a publisher whom he thoroughly
despised, says:
He has leering looks, bullfaced and freck-
led fair,
Two left legs and Judas colored hair.
Hundreds of other citations to this
popular prejudice could be given,
but the above are sufficient to prove
that the red-haired persons position
was not an enviable one in the years
gone by,-Republic.

The progress of the new Territory
of Oklahoma, as shown by the annual
report of Gov. Seay, is remarkable
even in these days of remarkable
things. 1t was in the spring of 1890
that the Territorial bill passed Con-
gress. and since that time the popu-
lation has more than doubled, being
1873, 100 in 1892 as compared with
60, 41O in 1890, not counting the In
dams who still maintain their tribal
relations. The taxable property of
the Territory, exclusive of six coun-
ties where assessments have not yet
been made, is given at S11, 485, 1872,
which is an increase for the year of
S4,6O6, 233 The real and personal
property is estimated at $40, 600, 900,
and there are five national banks,
four incorporated banks, and four
teen private banks, the national
banks having deposit account of
$3.50, 900. The school population is
81 ,926, an increase for the year of

in excellent condition. A Territorial
University also has been established.
The farmer of Oklahoma has no tea
son to complain, as the soil has dem
onstrated its adaptability for pro-
ducing large crops Of all the staple
cereals, vegetables and fruits, while
the 16O-acre farms will average fifty
acres each in cultivation. Evidently
the new Territory has great future
in store, and it is little wonder that
it's people, elated with all these evil
dences of its astonishing growth and
substantial conditions, already are
beginning 20 consider the propriety
of asking Congress for admission to
the Union.

THIS world is not made for tomb,
but a garden. You are to be seed,
not a death. Plant yourself, and
you will sprout; bury yourself, and
you can only decay. For dead OPP
portunity there is no resurrection.
The only enjoyment, the only use to
be attained in this world, must be
attained on the wing. Each day
brings it's own benefit; but it has
none to spare. What escapes to-day
is escaped forever. Tomorrow has
no overflow to atone for the lost yes

WHOEVER is wise is apt to suspect
and be diffident of himself, and, upon
that account, is willing to "hearken

man, being in proportion of his folly
full of himself, and swallowed up in
conceit, will seldom take any counsel
but his own, and for that very rea-
son, because it is his own.
