JUDGE ISPARHECHER.

A Decidedly Interesting Old Indian.
 The old Creek judge and chief, Ispar- hecher, is very sick at his home on Salt Creek, and will very likely never recov- CT from this illness, which has been upon him for some time. He is a full- blood Indian of much practical con- mon sense and quaint wisdom, but de- clines to be treated by any regular phy- sician, his only attendant being Creek medicine man, who is is trying to cure him of the "snakes and terrapin''- whatever that is. The old medicine man is very queer acting, but is hard at work, and says the snakes have about yielded to his medicines, but he has not yet been able to reach the ter rapin."
 His "boy name'' is Isparhecher, pro- nounced with the initial 1T" silent. His war name is Kachur Emarthier, or Royal Tiger. He is generally known by his boy name. He was born in 1928 among the Upper Towns of the old Creek confederacy, in Alabama under the rule of old Opothleyoho1o. His pa- rents were both full blood Creeks and traced their families back to the origi- nal tribes which journeyed eastward from the Montezuma country, and which assisted in the subjugation of the various eastern tribes that afterward Formed part of the Creek confederacy
 Isparhecher and his parents were among those who followed the famous Chilly Mcintosh when he led most of the members of the Upper Towns from Alabama to the new Indian country in the far west His parents died soon af- ter reaching their settlement on the Ga nadian river, and then he began hard fight to secure even the most indifferent education.
 Isparhecher is over six feet in height very erect and commanding in appear ance, weighs about one hundred and seventy-five pounds and is In every re- spect what Cooper would have called an ideal Indian. While he is man o1 very few words, yet when he considers it his duty he talks with forceful fuen-

A Royal Critics Blunder.

A strange story, illustrating the dan
gers of too frank artistic criticism or
the part of royalty, is told by the Copen-
hagen journals. King Oscar of Swe-
den, who is not in the best odor in tis
Norwegian capital just at present, re-
Gently visited the annual art exhibition
in Christiania, accompanied by the
Crown Prince. The visitors were con-
Quoted through the galleries by Mr..
Holmboe a member of the committee,
and himself a painter. On pausing be-
fore a certain canvas the Grown Prince
remarked that it was a fearful COM
position. The King, after STOPPING to
discover the artists name, presently
calculated with a smile, "Why, the man
must be madi' The picture was by
Holmboe himself, but neither of the
royal visitors was aware that it was he
who was showing them round. The
artist felt much offended, and after
ward declared that he intended to de-
mand an apology. He was prevailed
upon by the Kings adjutants, however,
to say nothing, in order not to en-
barrass his royal critics. The sequel is
reported to have taken place at a ban
quet given in connection with the Nor
wegian Artists Association, held on the
same evening, when the President an
nounced, amidst applause, that instead
of proposing King Oscars health as
usual, he would give that of Mr.. Holm
Gazette.

vibrations, that is, according to the
number of sound waves per second, the
sand or powder forms into figures.
VIOLIN BOW AND SHEET BRASS.
A different form of experiments, which
will amuse as well as instruct, can be
done with a violin bow and a six-inch
square sheet of thin, springy brass.
Have the tinsmith bore a screw hole in
the exact center of the brass and screw
the plate hard down into piece of
broomstick, which must be fastened in
| an upright position in a block of wood,
| SO that it will stand vertically. The
| brass plate must be horizontal and per-
fectly level faced. If a violin bow is not
| at hand borrow a score of hairs from a
| horses tail and make a bow with a
piece of springy wood, rubbing the horse
| hairs with resin.
Sprinkle some sand or powder over
the brass plate and give a long up and
down stroke with the bow on one edge
| of the plate, near a corner. At the
same time touch the middle of the edge
| of the plate on the other side. At once
| the vibrating sand will form in two
rows at right angles to each other and
| the plate will sing. Draw the bow across
the middle of an edge and touch the
plate on a corner. The note given out
by the plate will be higher, and the
sand will extend in two rows diagon-
ally across the plate. Lay the nails of
two fingers two inches apart about the
middle of an edge, and draw the bow
across the opposite edge in the middle.
The note sounded will be shrill, and the
sand will form diagonal lines, and also
will make tongues starting out from
the center of each edge. By bowling on
different points of the edge and touch
ing other points all manner of intricate
sand figures will be formed.
BEAUTIFUL DESIGNS IN WATER
Fill a glass two-thirds full of water
Dust the surface with lycopodium pow
der and draw the bow across the edge
of the glass. The powder will slide
over the surface of the vibrant water
and form many beautiful designs.
1t does not require a knowledge of
physics nor an understanding of the
laws which govern vibrations to dis
cover the fascinating possibilities
which lie in the demonstration of visi-
bic sound with this homemade instru-
ment It is enough to know that when
bration a musical note is realized by
the ear, provided the vibrations exceed
thirty-two a second. Some ears can
distinguish a note made by sixteen vi
brations a second This is the lowest
musical note which the ear can hear.
The highest is made by $4,000 vibra
tions in second In perfectly tuned
piano the strings of middle c vipTate,
when struck, 264 times a second. The
lowest note in an ordinary seven oc-
tave piano is given by wire which
vibrates twenty-seven and one-half
times a second; the highest 4,224 times
a second. The range of the human
voice lies between 100 and 1000 vlbra-
tions a second, or a little more tnan
three octaves, the ordinary singer haV-
ing a compass Of about two octaves.-

that time the dividing line between the
Spanish and French possessions was
claimed by Spain to run along the sum-
nit of the Rocky Mountains to the for
ty-ninth degree of north latitude, while
France claimed the whole of the terri
tory now embraced by the States of
Oregon and Washington. This question
was finally settled between the United
States and Spain by the treaty of 1919,
which was not made and ratified at the
date of the passage of the Act creating
this country.
If the French claim was correct, then
the county of Pike extended to the Pa
cific Ocean on the west and TO the forty
ninth degree of north latitude. The
wonderful area of the country the Ter
ritorial Legislature was creating struck
one of the early-day SOlons SO forcibly
that, rising in his seat while the bill
was up for consideration, he exclaimed: :
The county of Pike! Why, gentlemen
it is not q county we are creating; it's
the biggest State in the Union" And

WONDERS In VIBRATION.
Startling Results Produced With a
Baking Powder Can.
Instructions for a Series of Most
Interesting Experiments in
Vibration.

Sing into a baking powder can and a
daisy viii grow before your eyes. Sing
again and pansy will spring out Sing
again, and again and again, and the
sand, or powder or paste on the rubber
diaphragm which is stretched across the
top of the can will tremble and shiver
and form itself into circles, ovals, spi-
rails and little mounds which seem alive
with nervous action. The tin baking
powder can, with the rubber stretched
across the open top, is an ''eidOphone"
and with it sound becomes visible, and
the dynamic energy of vibrations is
shown in a beautiful and interesting
manner.
The next time the toy balloon man
blows his horn, buy balloon and col
lapse it by sticking a pin through the
thin rubber where the string is tied
around the bottom. Then take an ordi-
nary tin can, a baking powder can is
best for it has a removable top, but ii
none is in the house, take a tomato can
and by sticking the cut end in the fire
the rough tin will fall off, leaving a
clean edge. Leave the bottom of the
can on, and about one-third of the way
up the side from the bottom, cut out 2
hole an inch wide. Any tinsmith will
Go this for a few cents, and he also will
make a tin mouthpiece about foot
long, setting it so that it slants upward
like the stem of a pipe. Now stretch
the thin rubber sheet, which was once a
balloon, across the top Of the can like a
drumhead. Stretch it tight and even
and tie it fast with string around the
can or with a thick rubber band and al
"eidophone" is the result. 1t is not even
necessary to call on the tinsmith in

"The State of Pike. !"

The county of Pike is older than the
State of Missouri itself having been
laid out by the Territorial Legislature
in 1919, before Missouri was admitted
to the sisterhood of States The town
of Louisiana was laid out in the same
year the county was organized by Shaw
& Caldwell, the proprietors of the land
upon which the town now stands, so
that Louisiana and the estate of Pike
came into history at the same time
When the Territorial Government es-
tablished Pike County, it's southern
boundary was the northern line of ST.

along the ridge dividing the waters of
the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, to
the extreme northern boundary line of

CATS AND dogs AS TEACHERS
Domestic Animals Impart Better
Manners to Lions and Tigers.

If you We're to obtain entrance to a
big menagerie one of these bright winter
days-a privilege money cannot buy
| you would be astonished to see what a
| number of cats and dogs make them
| selves at home in the buildings which
quarter SO many queer beasts from all
parts of the globe, says the New York
World
The dogs are of all sorts and sizes
huge and voracious Danes and wolf
| hounds and the tiniest pets. The cats
| are large, handsome, bright-looking
| fellows, famous mousers some of them,
| and have that air of sleek and well-fed
responsibility shown only by cats of
| breeding which are well treated.

THE What?"
THE psychological effect Oh, you
needn't laugh; I mean what I say. You
nave no idea what a soothing effect
these little domestic animals have on
our Gagged ones. When the latter see
members of their own families, so to
speak, happy and contented in their
quarters it does not seem so strange and
horrible as it would otherwise appear
to be shut up so close to men. l have
seen lion or a tiger or some other
member Of the feline race watch do
mesuc cat for hours with a look of
Questioning and of surprise If it saw
one OF the men stroke the latter and
note that the animal showed signs of
pleasure, the bigger animal itself
seemed to grow tranquil under the op-
tical spell. Thre's lot of unconscious
hypnotic suggestion about our little ami
mals, and one of the reasons why our
menagerfe is so successful, | believe is
because we have so many domestic ami
mails in our midst
You have often heard it said that
lions and tigers can never be raised in
captivity, but we are doing it all the
time. One Of our secrets of success is
that we let c0ntented cats raise families
IN sight of the cages of the larger ami
mails The latter note the pleasant OBJ
Ject lesson and are cured of the mania
OF eating their young, as they do In less
successful menageries."
