This trick consists of making the letters
"X' and ''V" out of four wooden tooth
picks. This would be very simple thing
to do were it not for the fact that the let
tiers must be interviewer in such a manner
that they will not fall to pieces when they
are lifted up. 1t is done in this fashion:
Hold one pick in the left hand, place the
end of another on it near the bottom, in
clining it upward at an angle of about 80
degs. At the same angle insert a third
pick under the first near the top, and
wedge fourth under and over the ends Oh
the right, and the deed is done. With
little patience and a steady hand it is easily
performed.

In my absence no kingdom can be:
And they say there can neither be friendship
nor strife
No one can live single, no one take a wife
Without interfering with me.

Not one is more slender or tall,
And though not the eldest hold the first place.
And cen in dishonor, despair and disgrace

Gov. Fishback's call for a conven-
ton Of Southern Governors, to take
place tomorrow, on the eve of the
opening OF the Worlds fair has been
very fully responded to. Not only
have the Southern Governors been
invited, but also the state geologists,
president of state fairs and horhcul-
tural associations, as well as superin'
tendents of immigration.
The convention will meet, as Gov
eruor Fishback states, "to call the at
tention of the vast tide Of investors
and immigrants who will follow in
the wake of the Columbian exposition,
to the magnificent inducements Of the
South"
Gov. Mckinney, in his general in
vitation, expresses the hope that they
"may be able to induce good citizens
to immigrate south, bringing with
them their families and their fortunes,
and thus help them to develop their
natural resources, and to aid them in
building up the waste places which
war has left"
The convention will be held in the
famous old state house at Richmond
Va, which once served the Confeder-
acy for a capital.

Another Victim .

The treacherous waters of Red river
have claimed another victim, adding
one more to the long list of unfortun-
ates who have gone down into the
bosom Of those red waves, never again
to return. This time the victim was
Lem Cooper, a colored man of Shreve-
port, La, who, on Saturday afternoon
last, while employed in feeding cattle
for Harris & Smith at Rush Point,
was drowned in Red river. A small
batteau belonging to Mr.. II. M. Nor
ris, a contractor Of Shreveport who
was crbbing timber, drifted from
shore. Cooper volunteered to swim
out and bring it to shore, but when
near il he was seen to struggle and
disappear. All efforts to render assis-
tance or recover the body proved use
less.

taw Nation Extremely Critical.
The storm cloud which has been
gathering over Antlers in the Choctaw
Territory, becomes daily more dense
gloomy and threatening, portending
death and destruction to both life and
property, when its leaden hail shall
begin to fall. Each day adds new
complications to the already difficult
situation, and in the face of repeated
admonitions from those of both par
ties. the militia continues to assert
that they are only awaiting the given
signal to open the battle, which they
are apparently determined shall be to
the very death. The official forces
are greatly enthused over the rein
forcements which they received yes
terday, one detachment Of which was
numerous sheriff's posse, who
brought with them warrants for the
arrest of Locke and his followers.
This has, of course, had the effect Of
strengthening the already arrogant
and uncompromising position of the
official forces, whose beiigerant atai-
tude and menacing threats have been
condemned by all law abiding and
lust minded citizens. The talk Of
martial law seems to have no terror
for them. They laugh at the idea o
such a step being taken upon the sUg
gestion of Indian Agent Bennett. II
