FORCE OF HABIT.

The crush was terrible.
People with tender feet uttered half.sup-
pressed groans here and there, and weak
women would have tainted if there had been
any hope that fainting would have done the
least good.
Ever and anon Burbank would make q
frantic grab for something above his head,
and then looked disappoir ted
Lambert watched him reach up half a
dozen times, and then edged his way
through the crowd to where his friend
was being jostled about
just as he got there somebody gave a
lurch somewhere, and the people began
to sway about as they do in crowds where
there are nervous or mischievous persons
who insist on pushing.
Burbank was almost carried off his feet,
and he made frantic effort to grasp the
invisible something that he had previously
endeavored to find above his head.
"See here, old man." exclaimed Lambert,
what are you trying to find up there"
Burbank gave a start, as ii he had Just
been aroused from trance, looked sheep

Okiahoma's Insane Patients,

DIR. ThreaGgiIl, superintendent of the
Norman saniiarium, has made his
quarterly settlement with the auditor
for the care of the insane. The terri
tory is now maintaining go insane pa
tients at the sapitariuIn and so marked
has been the increase in insanity that
the senitarium has been obliged to en-
large its accommodations by the erect
ion of neat and comfortable cottages
sufficient TO accommodate 100 patients
Notwithstanding the enfeebled and
helpless condition OF the insane pa
tients the general condition of their
health is something remarkable, aud
the mortality rate is far less than in
similar institutions under state con-
troll. These favorable conditions are
no doubt due TO the healthy surround
ings at Norman aud largely TO the ex-
cellent sanitary measures in force at
the sanitarium.

THE SENATORIAL INSTINCT.
A Detroit Cat That Was Likenea
Unto the LuxuriouA
Statesman.

'T guess just about have the blue.ribbon
cat story" declared one OF the employees at
a Detroit depot. 1--WE had big tom here
that was a favorite for months. He never
did anything worse than to whip an occa-
sional dog that came prowing about, or
scratch some kid that wanted to carry him
off. But he became fat, lazy, self-important
and impudent He asserted a right to be
on top of the desks, and resented the noise
of a typewriter when he wanted to take his
afternoon nap.
80 another Of the boys and myself slipped
Tom into a box car, and sent him to Chicago.
There was no chance for him to escape, for it
was a tight box car, with the doors sealed,
and billed through.
Two weeks later there came carload of
furniture from Chicago, and after it had
been shunted to a side track the work OF un-
loading was begun. The men scattered when
they saw pair of fiery eyes working toward
them through chair legs and over carpet
rolls. While they were arming themselves
with coupling pins in order to resist the at
tack of some wild 'critter,' long, lean and
hungry. looking cat sprang out, blinked till
he became accustomed to the light and then
trotted to my office. There he gave me an
ugly leer winked at the clerks and curled
up on a window sill in the sun. | accepted

so anxious to get back."-Detroit Free Press.

Topeka. Kan, Jan. IA. -Adjt Gen.
Allen denies the charge that he has
been reorganizing the Kansas national
guard on a populist basis He says he
hurried the matter along because it
was necessary to have a couple of regi-
ments organized in order to draw the
states quota of the national govern
ment's allowance for this fiscal year.
Politics, he says, has not entered into
the reorganization of the guard. The
following is list of the captains of
the new companies:

Upon the plea that they wanted TO
take depositions in Texas, Kennedy's
lawyers succeeded in getting Justice
Eittrell at Mansfield TO continue
Johns preliminary hearing for ten
lays Already some one"
presumably Kennedy's Kansas
City attorney, has gone TO Texas to
get these dispositions. Kennedy's de-
tense will, Gs usual, be an alibi. He
will claim, II he can get any OF his
Texas friends to come TO the front for
him, that he was in San Antonio and
Houston just prior to and at the time
the train was robbed. There is no
possibility, SO far as anyone who
has looked into the Macomb rob-
berry can see, that Kennedy can
establish an alibi that will save
him. If he should bring half a
dozen depositions from Texas to prove
that he was there, the officials and
the railroad will bring forward a dozen
good witnesses to prove that he was
at L ouis Nye's and Fagley's farms for
three weeks before the robbery. IL he
should chance to produce few Texas
witnesses, 20 Wright and Douglas
county men will swear that he was in
those counties at the time of the rob-
berry. Kennedy has no chance to go

Grow Is Good Eating.

Ponca City Courier: There is an old
say ing about eating crvw" which has
given rise to an erroneous opinion of
that black feathered bird. Instead of
being unwhoiesome the crow is one of
the most paIatable of the feaIhered
tribe. His flesh is tender and pala-
table. The crow never eats carrion.
He chooses corn and wheat, nuts, be- :
ries and the cleanest food he can find.
lie is cleaner than the chicken, quail
or prairie chicken, which are not
above getting their living out of the
compost heaps. The prejudice about
the crow as a tribe comes from has
penchant to pull the farmers corn af,
ter he has planted il, bat this only
proves his cleanliness.
