The precocious frankness and simplicity
of class Of 6-year-olds has been forcibly
impressed upon one of the teachers in the
new Blaine school, says the Philadelphia
Record. Preparatory to opening the school
the children are being registered, and their
answers to the questions put to them are
often quite ludicrcus. One of the teachers
asked a youngster what was his fathers
name.
"naxter," was TIE reply.
"What is his full name?"
"Mister Baxter" said the boy
impatently; what is his first name?

HEROISM OF A MOTHER.
Saved Her Own and the Lives of Her
Children During Fire.


A picture of mothery herosm comes from
| out the smoke and flame of tenement
house fire in Jersey City. On the upper floor
of the burning building dwelt Mrs. K!lmur-
| ray and her five children, the oldest lad Of
IL years. Retreat by the stairway had been
cut off and the windows offered the only path
to safety. There were no ladders and no
time for obtaining them. The flames and
| smoke were close behind, and II the chill
dren were to be saved 1t must be done
quickly. Her husband and friends were in
the yard below, shouting encouragement.
without hesitation she took her children one
by one and dropped them down the height
of four stories into the arms of the waiting
months-old infant was sent whizzlng through
space to safety. One Of the lads was
slightly hurt Then Mrs. Kilmurray herself
swung out by the clothesline and reached
the ground alive, but somewhat injured By
the fall.
Was there ever better example of a
woman's daring and nerve, says the Brook
lyn Eagle. She knew that to remain where
they were meant speedy death from suffoca-
tion. She had the courage TO take the
chance against certain death for her chill
dren on the one hand and a possibility Of
rescue on the other, and she did not hesi-
tate. There were no womanly tremblings,
no wrnglng Of the hands and unavaillDg
cries for help. She saw what should be done
and her maternal spirit gave her the courage
conditions. She perllled her own life and
theirs to secure their safety. 1t was an ex-
ample of cool and quiet heroIsm, Just such
as women Of all classes have shown in all
ages of the world in times of stress and
danger,

HE CAREFULLY LOOKED

While my first impressions of the country
were favorable. still after remaining there
and very carefully going over the Orchard
Homes lands offered for SALE my good i'm
pressions were not only confirmed. but must
in strict justice say ! was forced TO admit
that the advantages of Orchard Homes for
the intelligent purchaser were really more
than they had been represented to be. was
astonished TO find crops of corn, and In many
cases or potatoes, growing upon land from
which there had already been harvested this
season first crops OF tomatoes beans and
other vegetables. This convinced me that
the raising OF two or more crops on the same
land each year was plainly an absolute fact.
| think also, that by intelligent and careful
working of the land three or four crops can
be grown each year just as easily as two
crops. The native grasses are nutritious,
produce we'll and keep green during all the
year, and understand from reliable informa-
tion that alfalfa has been known 10 give az
high as five to eight cuttings annually.
found the land 10 be gently rolling, with
just enough timber scattered over II to meet
the wants OF fuel, fence posts and other
ordinary uses, The roads were In excellent
condition. Water was plenty, such as run
ming creeks and wells. the latter would
average from thirty to sixty feet In depth.
The water Is pure and wholesome. ! found
the weather somewhat different from what I
expected. In the middle Of the day The Their

Oklahoma wants to become a state
Rpd convention is called for January s,
at WHICH every county and.reservation in
the territory will be represented, to start
a movement with that end in view, Ac.
cording to the estimate of the governor,
the territory now has a population OF
$4,000. 1t has larger population than
Utah, which has just become a state, it
also leads in this respect the states OF
Idaho, Delaware, Montana, Nevada,
North Dakota and Wyoming. Oklahoma
has more inhabitants already than any
other territory except South Dakota had
when erected into state. 1t is growing
rapidly too. During the past year it has
increased $4,000 in population. The
growth in property and business has
been even at far higher ratio. Accord.
ing to the Governors report, the taxable
property in the territory which was
placed at an assessed value of $4,000.
900 year ago is now worth $4,000.
600 on the same basis. This is a surpris.
ingincrease In - months. There are -four
lines Of railroad in actual operation in
the territory. and So private banks and
Ave national banks. The territory has a
university, normal school, an agricul
tural and mechanical college and mode
private school system. Oklahoma is an
intelligent progressive and prosperous
community, and is fully entitled to the
larger privileges and dignities of state
hood to which it aspires.

Some Essential Qualities Of a GOOD
State Government.

The benefits arising from recurrence
TO FIRST principles IN gover1mertsr euinis
us that il is necessary in a democracy in
order that the Ftatc he secure that the
whole peoPlr have confidence N i. Not
a blind confidence hrt an intelligent one.
A state is often disturbed ard Jared by
external forces hut seldom destroyed by
them. But when personal irerenc"s be
gin to work within il ard pc hr- dimly
distinguished from STATE p-oi~'ts while
results show latent DESIGNS in which the
people have had no part then the state is
being duped and weakened.
When laws are enacted or executed by
clans and for individual gain and sdvan,
tage then the power oftH- state ~ gone
is usurped-and the usurpation tamely
submitted to.
When the booty which comes from n
violation of the laws ia divided among
local moropolists Of crime, and expended
FOR political paps and retainers to those
who are employed to direct and allay
pIbliC sentiment, the executive and legis-
lative departments Of the state become
useless. or worse than that, subordinate
to individual interests,
When this condition of things involves
ami harmonizes with the most preten-
tious virtue and patriotism in the vari-
Gus localities in a state it's condition be-
comes absolutely pcrilous.
When political oligarchies months and
years in advance ARRANGE the stools in all
the public Offices. designate each occu-
pant. and long in advance assign to each
his work in the primaries, the source
from whence comes the supreme power in
the state becomes absolutely dry. A
force springs up that is not easily over
come because constantly augmented by
heirs apparent to the stools as well as
by moral towards and those who are de-
luded into foolish expectancy by the pres.
tige Of success. 1t is only when state
becomes iucapacitated that it should go
into the hands of receivers,
That state which alone deserves or can
reasonably hope for permancncy, happi-
ness and honor is one which does not
yield the selection of its rulers to an ig-
noble struggle, based not upon qualif-
cations or principles, hut upon personal
claims and individual obligations and
mutual personal services which do not
touch nor concern the state.
We may during the winter call the at
tention of our readers to other principles
which underlie all well governed states.

There never was q Congress where
there was less excuse for deciding election
contests on any ground but.tha of merit,
Than the present one. When one party
has but a meagre majority there is an
almost irresistible temptation to exc it
out by reprisais from the other side
through the instrumentality of election
contests. But in this Congress the Re.
publican majority is SO large as to be
able to do promptly everything it car
agree upon. The opposition to it is
hardly more than nominal. There is
therefore no excuse whatever for consid
eFing election cases except upon Their
merits. and if Speaker Reed has his way
that is the way in which they will b,
considered and settled, 1t is Of great i'm
portance too that they he set tleC
promptly.

The gold will stop pouring out of the
Treasury just as soon as this country
ceases to buy more than it sells in the
European markets. AS long as the bal
ance is against this nation it will have to
be paid in cash unless we can persuade
the Foreigners to take it out in country
produce. Persuade the people to trade
at home and the cash will remain here
This is primary lesson in finance for
