A personal item in yesterdays paper
speaking Of Miss Fleeta Agnes Cox, of
Kansas City, as "burlesque and bal.
let dancer did that lady a great but
unintentional injustice. Miss Cox is a
bright, modest, versatile and talented
young lady, and for over two
years has been attending a st. Louis
academy and receiving instructions IN
stage and fancy dancing She has
been visiting her brothers IN Lincoln
county and is sojourning ia Guthrie a
few days. She is favorably impressed
with Oklahoma, and if requests from
her many friends prevail, she may re-
turn to Guthrie within a few weeks
and open a dancing school Miss Cox
is neither a burlesque or ballet dancer,
and very naturally feels hurt over an
imputation which might be variously
construed. One Of the latest catchy
musical compositions OF Prof Edwards
of Missouri, has been dedicated TO
Miss Cox and her photo appears on the
music sheets

CURIOUS CLOCKS.

One of Them Was without Works
and Its Hands Always Pointed to
the Exact Moment OF the Death of
the Last King of France.
From the New York Times.
The timepiece ordered of Boucher by
the Due d'Aumale's grandfather for the
Prince Of Wales afterward George w of
England, was recently sold in Paris. 1t is
in the form of a negress' head, modelled
admirably. Jewels are incrusted in the
bronze around the neck to form a neck
lace, in the wolly hair, and in the bust,
as a clasp for the handkerchief. pair of
openwork gold earrings, long and deli
cately carved, hang from the ears. On
pulling one of them the hour is shown on
the right eye and the minute on the left
If the other earring is drawn a set of
musical bells, lodged where the brain
should be, chimes out the time of day. A
clock without works is distinct novelty
yet one formerly stood in the splendid
Cour de Marble at Versailles, where it was
Installed in the reign of Louis XIV. Its
hand always pointed to the exact moment
of the death of the last king of France,
and it never moved during his successors
reign. Thus, as one writer has put II, 1t
was a perpetual reminder to the most
splendid of courts that "the paths Of glory
lead but to the grave"
In the private collection Of a gentleman
in the south of England is timepiece
which records the age of all the planets
by an arrangement which gives the exact
revolutions Of each one. Besides giving
the golden number, the dominica letter.
and other similar information of equal in
terest this remarkable clock records the
time when 1t is high tide at various points
In Europe. Some time ago a description
appeared In an American journal Of a Jap
anese clock standing in a frame three feet
high and five feet broad, representing a
landscape of great beauty. In the fore
ground were plum and cherry trees in full
bloom, while in the rear was a hill, grad
ual In ascent, from which flowed a cas-
cade Of crystal. From this point a thread
like stream giided along, encircling rocks
and tiny islands In its wanderings, but
presently losing itself in a far-off stretch
Of woodland. In the sky turned a golden
SUM- indicating as 1t passed the striking
hours, which were all marked upon the
frame below, where a slowly creeping tor
toise served as a hand A bird of exqui-
site plumage, resting on the branch OF a
plum tree, proclaimed by its singing the
expiration OF each hour; while. when the
song ceased, a little mouse sprang from
a grotto close by, and running over the
hill hastily disappeared in the distance.
