present her husband has been foremost
among the big diplomatic guns or the
empire. The marchioness is the very
best of amateur actresses and during
her regency in Canada she had built a
stage in the government house at Ot-
tawa, and her entertainments, contrib

and praiseworthy. She lived an out

Oklahoma and the Indian Territory.

Oklahoma and the Indian Territory.
A well-known New York financier,
who recently made business and
pleasure trip through Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory, in a letter to a
friend gives some very interesting data
and information relative to The Land
OF the Fair God" He says, in part:
When / recall my experiences. while in
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, 1t
seems 10 me to be more like a dream
than a reality. ! never was more IA
vorably impressed with a people, and
the resources Of the country are truly
wonderful.
Before making this trip was i'm
bued with the idea, so prevalent among
the people OF the east, that this terri
tory have little in common with the in
terests OF our people, and was a place
fitted more by nature for an abode for
the red man and a rendezvous for out
laws than home for q civilized and
Christian people. A personal investi-
cation and inspection of the country
early dispelled this idea, and found
that nine-tenths of the sensational arti-
cles Of outlawry and other tragedies
credited to that country eminated alone
from the fertile brain OF some over-en-
thnsiastic newspaper correspondent.
THE Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific,
the Atchison, Topeka e. Santa Fe, the
Choctaw, Oklahoma g. Gulf and the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas systems of
railroads each lead into and across this
country, and the great amount of cattle,
hogs. wheat, cotton and other produce
shipped out from there evidences the
fact of the fertility Of the soil and the
productiveness of the country.
THE Indian Territory is rich In its
mineral lands and coal fields, and these
industries are only in their infancy,
while the cheapness Of the land and
rich soil over the greater part of Okla
homa offers inducements to capitalists
as well as the farming and laboring
class of our people.
There is still some fair hunting in
the Kechi hills, southwest Of Ami
darko and in the Gloss mountains, and
the streams are well supplied with fish.
Crop prospects are exceptionally
good, and undoubtedly the coming sea-
son will see large emigration from the
east to that country"

Morality of Colleges.

1t is difficult and well-nigh impossible
for those who do not know student life
intimately to guage rightly the moral
standing of any college. A few dis
sipated young men can give a whole
class and even a whole college an I'M
envlable name with the undiscerning
public. But those who have stueied
undergraduating life closely know that
these few students are only chips on
the surface and that their influence on
the deep, strong undercurrent of col
lege life is scarcely felt. Doubtless the
custom of putting little restraint on the
social life of students in most Ameri-
can colleges has resulted in some tenn
porary harm. But the self-reliant man
hood that 1t has developed in American
Young men has more than counterbal-
anced the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Press.

A Chorus Girl,a Idea.

During one of the rehearsals at a
theater recently dance was being prac-
ticed in which the chorus had an eight
bar movement.
Take one step forward to each bar, "
said the man who was directing the re-
hearsal.
The directions were followed and the
chorus after eight steps found them
selves in bunch in the center of the
stage and humping up against the prin-
cipals.
THAT won't do at ALL" said the man
ager, who was watching the rehearsal
from the front. Have them take only
six steps"
There he goes economizing again"
said a chorus girl, under her breath.

the steps down.'-New York Herald.

achieved, and Aug. "a, 1875, an edition
o. the diamond 24mo bible, similar in
all respects to the twenty-four copies
printed in 1912, were placed on sale.
This was the first Oxford Bible pub
lished by Mr.. Froude. The feat of COM
preston was looked upon as astound-
ing, the demand was enormous, and be-
fore very long a quarter of a million
copies had been sold. The paper, when

its manufacture, 1t may be said, Is

KEPT A PROFOUND SECRET.

The marvellous Oxford India paper
was first introduced in 1875. says the
Book Review. Since then il has revolu-

trade. and II is now used for all the more
popular devotional books throughout
the world. In the year 1871 an Oxford
graduate is said 10 have brought home
from the far east small fold of ex-
tremely thin paper, which was mani

substance than any paper then manu-
featured in Europe. He presented IL to

Combe. who had only recently been ap-
pointed printer TO the university. found
II TO be just sufficient for twenty-four
copies of the smallest Bible then in ex-
istence-diamond 24mo-and printed an
edition Of that number which bore the
date of 1912. The books were barely a

All efforts to trace the paper TO its
source were futile. and, as years rolled
