OPPOSES STATEHOOD.
judge Tarsney Says That Oklahoma o.
Far From Ready TO join the
BIg SIsterhood.

Kansas City, Mar. l.-Judgc
John G. Tarsney of the supreme
court of Oklahoma. who was i'm
the city last week. is not "A be-
lever in immediate statehood
for the territory. He is quite in
love with his new home and is
of the opinion that the territory
Will be one of the best places in
the land when it is developed
and fully settled, but he thinks
there are many things yet TO be
desired ahead of statehood.
My impression of what the
people there want after ten
months of travel about over the
territory and mingling with the
people is that statehood is not
the crying need of the hour" :"
he said. The men who own
their farms have not yet pat
ented them and therefore the
state would be unable to collect
one cent of taxes from that
property. There are many
large tracts of land that will be
IN a few years the homes of
thousands of people. Ii is bus
mess TO wait. There is nothing
yet from which to collect taxes
except personal property, and
that would make the rate so
high that it would Le burden
some and still not enough TO
meet the demands. The most
of the people there do not want
statehood until the time comes
when the Indian Territory can
be taken in with the Oklahoma
country, and both made into
one state. The inhabitants of
the Indian Territory are not
vet ready for statehood, nor
are they able to care for them
selves properly if it were
granted them. As a territory
there are many expenses that
are borne by the general gov
ernment that would not be
when the state is organized and
the people are looking at the
facts from n practical stand
point and entirely free from
any sentiment"

PuzzIing the Royal Society.

The proceedings of the Royal society
Of London were not taken so seriously
l50 years ago as they are now A sail
or who had broken his leg was advised
to send to the Royal society an account
of the remarkable manner in which he
had healed the fracture. He did so. His
story was that, having fractured his leg
by falling from the top of a mast, he
had dressed it with nothing but tar and
oa&um, which had proved so wonder
fully efficacious tkat in three days he
was able to walk just as we'll as before
the accident. This remarkable story
naturally caused some excitement among
the members of the society. No one had
previously suspected tar and oakum Of
possessing such miraculous healing
powers. The society wrote for further
/ particulars and doubted, indeed, wheth-
er the leg had been really fractured.
The truth of this part of the story, how
ever, was proved beyond the shadow of
| doubt Several letters passed between
4 the Royal society and the humble sail
| or, who continued to assert most solemn
ly that his broken leg had been treated
with tar and oakum, and with these
two applications only. The society
might have remained puzzled for an in
definite period had not the honest sail
or remarked in a postscript to his last
letter:
II forgot to tell y'pur honors that the
leg was a wooden one. - Harper's
