WASHINGTON. June 6.-The first bill
To pass today under suspension OF the

today that il was apparent to the

Already now to Part the Last

Why, surely soon enough you II learn
The fate Of each fictitious friend.
You've scarcely done with chapter one
Before You want "to know the end.

The hero's indignation fine,
At which the wicked duke retreats,
Quite routed al alCnG the line,
The noble deeds, the stirring scenes,
To none of these will you attend
Till certcin quite that all comes right
That marriage bells are at the end.
Well, IL tho bard might moralize,
He would remark, | think, that man,
Throughout existence, ever tries
TO initiate your simple plan.
In guessing what is still to come
Long days with scant result we spend.
We, too, would look throughout the booki
Ne, too, would like to know the end
And yet / venture to maintain
To read your stories through We're best.

No inconsidcrablo zcst.

The Curtis bill which is the re-
suit of much thought, research
and debate. has passed the house
and even the most skeptical will
now cOnceed the fact that a
general breaking up in the present
conditions in the Indian Territory
is near at hand. First comes the
jurisdiction bill, an attempt to de
feat which failed signally, then the
general Indian conference bill de-
fining the duties of the Dawes
commission was passed by the
house and senate and now the
passage of this measure by the
house which provides for COM
plete change and which will be
passed in the senate early next
session with such amendments as
the Dawes commission may re-
com md. Surely the end is in
sight.

The OLDEST LOCK.
Xt Formerly Secured One Of the DoSrs -
Palace OF Ninsveh.


The very oldest lock i'm existence I'm
one which formerly secured one of the
doors OF palace of Nineveh- 1t is gi-
gantic affair. and the key to it, which is
as large as one NAL can conveniently
carry, reminds one OF the Scriptural pas
sage where the prophet makes reference
to such instruments being carried ON
the shoulder. The exact words in the
passage referred to are, And the key
of the house of David will lay upon
his shoulder. F"
This enormous key to the lock from
Nineveh is nearly ~ feet in length
and of the thickness of q four inch drain
tile. 1t was found at the end of a ruin
ed chamber, where a large wooden door
had probably once stood, the gigantic
brass hinges and heavy bars being still
in fair condition, though somewhat cor
roded. This relic Of the Olden times has
but few points of resemblance to the
keys of modern manufacture, or even 20
those of the early part Of the Christian
era The tubular idea had never been
thought out in those days. but the key
il fearfully and wonderfully made, be-
ing equally as intricate piece of ma
chinery as the lock in which it was
used. y great many of the bars and
pegs i'll the lock are believed TO have
been made of wood, as their places are
now empty The notches and pegs in
the key, however, show that there were
corresponding pegs and bars in the lock
at one time. The great lateral iron bars
at the end Of the key, with their COM
plicated series of notches, crossbars,
bumps, etc, are proof that the lock was
once similarly provided. This being the
case, it is reasonable to supposs that At
one time the door to that palace could
not have been opened until the key had
been inserted and the impediment tO
the drawing back Of the bolt removed
by raising up so many bars and pins
which had fallen down into their places
upon the key having been withdrawn.
Similar locks and keys were in use IN
Egypt 5000 years ago.-St Louis Re-

AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.

We publish in tOdays issue
complete writc-up of the Con-
tinental Asphalt company plant
at West ArdmOre. We do this
first because it is good news
item and has never before been
given space in the local press. but
more particularly because in our
Judgment it IS one of the most
important industries III the entire
Chickasaw nation. This plant is
now spending Sabout $1,000 per
month for labor and such material
as the local markets afford and
every dollar of it is foreign capital.
Not less than forty families are
deriving their support from this
enterprise and just at this time the
expenditure of this money means
Il great deal to our merchants
When in active operation the pay
roll of the plant will show not les
than fifty names, many of whom
will be skilled workmen and re-
ceive good salaries, and when we
consider that this institution will
be operated all the year. its im
portanCe from a commercial stand
point becomes apparent. More
than this, it is the first step in the
development of the mineral re-
sources of this country. and wit h
it a success, eastern capital will not
be slow to seek investment in this
section so rich in oils and minerals.

Novel Window Screen.

A beautiful novelty for window
screen is made of silk boiling cloth
This is intended to hang close to the
window, and upon it's transparent sur
face may be painted broad effect in
water colors, embodying a border OF
conventional design, using alternately
salmon pink, blue, india red, tawny or
foxy brown and gray outlining in long
stitches of silk in appropriate colors.
Inside of this border may be worked
a design in water lilies, with foliage
painted and worked in silks, the water
suggested by broad touches of gray
blue, with an occasional CLEAN of sill
yer thread. These are but suggestions
of what may be done with this species
of screens, as there are many elegant
materials and combinations of color,
but all depend for their beauty on the
artistic make up and the rare qualities
of their embroidery.

The latest lamp shades are works OF
art, exquisite affairs covered and trim
med with ruches of soft stuff, lace
frills, delicate flowers and ribbons, and
this in spite of the fact that it has been
said that fancy globes and shades of
tinted glass or porcelain are to take
the place of the Fascinating "fuffs' so
much admired and coveted, all because
some prudent woman says they are a
lodging place for dust. A soft brush
will take the dust out, and even if the
shade cannot be cleaned with soap and
water it is dainty work for nimble fin
gers to recover the frame with fresh
materials and new colors. One woman
renews the flowers upon her lamp shade
according to the season. One of the
novelties in shades is made in the
shape of shell, and is intended for
corner lamp. 1t is made of white f1ut-
ed mousseline de sole over delicate
pink silk. The trimming consists OF
feathery ruches made of the two mate
rails and tiny white shells mingled
with some sprays of sea MOSES. An
other shade represents three-corner-
ed Continental hat of soft yellow silk
decorated with profusion of fine
white lace and rosettes of yellow satin
ribbon. Many shades are composed
entirely of tulle flounces, and one could
readily imagine them to be ballet
dancers costumes. Crepe paper with
dainty Dresden figures as we'll as with
Delft wind-mills, and in plain colors
decorated with flowers, are made up sc
prettily into lamp shades that one
looks at them the second time to see
if they are really paper.
