The term conjunction" as APP
piled to these planetary bodies,
means that period when they are
in such close proximity to each
other that they may all be seen at
the same time.
The Conjunction" of last night
was the result of the difference in
the time il takes the different
planets to revolve around the sun.
OF those last night, viz: Venus,
Jupiter and Saturn (the naming of
Mars was an error). Venus has
the shortest orbit, never departing
over 45 degrees from the sun.
Jupiter comes next, Saturn con
sumes over twice as much time as
Jupiter. Venus, whirling east
ward last night, overlook Jupiter,
which was rapidly passing the
clONcI Odlutu.
The simplest illustration is 10
imagine three rings, one within
the other. Three bodies are NOV
ing at different speeds around the
greater and lesser circles.
By mathematical deduction it
can be asceriained at what time all
will pass a given point together.
This is what the astronomers
have done in regard to the three
planets, and the difficulty of the
task can be cleaned from the fol-
lowing facts:
The last time that they occupied
relative positions to those Of last
night was 800 years before William
the Conqueror invaded England.
Taking the distance that each was
from the earth last night will give
some idea Of the difference in their
"circles.

away; Jupiter was flashing out its
light at $40, 900, 900 miles. Saturn,

AN ELOQUENT PLEA
For Full Enfranchisement for The
Territories is The Feature
of The Annual Report
of The Oklahoma
Executive.

The annual report of Governor
Jenkins, of Oklahoma, to the Sec
retary of the Interior has been sub
mitted. 1t contains a most elo-
quent plea for immediate self gov
eminent for the twin territories.
In referring TO the claims OF the
people Of the Indian territory for
epfrsnchisement the executive
says:
at is claimed by many that the
conditions are not right in the In
dian territory for statehood, and it
is true that there are conditions
there which present serious prob
lem for the future, but they can be
worked out as we'll, or even better
under state government.
"True, there is no land to tax at
present, but the time is rapidly
coming when there will be, and,
as shown elsewhere in this report,
a careful and very conservative
estimate OF the property there that
would be taxable before statehood
could be fully completed, were an
enabling act passed this winter, is
s25, ,0O0, GOO, which is greater than
the taxable valuation OF the states
of Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Cali
fornia, Oregon or Kansas at the
time of their admission and 25 per
cent greater than the taxable val
uation OF Oklahoma five years
after it's organization as a territory.
"And we find there are prosper

affairs in the Indian territory
are somewhat chaotic. Ii is a
question of legislation and not adj

up into the sky. but 1t did not look like
feathers. Day after day the baby stork
looked up. but not a sign of feathers
could he see. He grew thin and weak,
and at last decided he might as we'll
give up and die. with nobody to speak
kind word to him-poor baby!
well, he made up his mind to take
one more look, so out he crept and turned
his eyes up to heaven, and there. floating
in the sky. We're hundreds of clouds that
looked just like feathers! With a glad
cry Jimmy tried to dance. and just then
down flew his papa and his mamma
and his brothers. and there was happy
time. and Jimmy did not perish miserably
in the cold after all.

All this happened many years ago,
but the young man well remembered how
he had sobbed out his grief on his
fathers shoulder when told Of how the
little stork nearly persisted miserably,
and as he recalled the story a lump
arose in his throat But as he walked
ON down the street there was the light
OF new resolve in his eyes. brought
there by the words of the child who
thought he saw feathers in the sky.

When the Sky
Looks Like Feathers
BY r. D. STRONG.

There was a desperate look in the face
Of the young man as he walked rapidly
along the street: despair was in his heart
and self-Elurder in his mind. He had
had his chance and had thrown 1t aside.
and now he was homeless wanderer
on the face OF the earth, without a
single person to take him by the hand
and call him friend.
"Oh. if mother had only lived" he NUT
tered, perhaps things would have been
different" and ne avertcd his face to
hide Il tear.
Just then a child. accompanied by her
mother, came by. and as the little one
passed she cried, looking up into the
sky, where white, tleeoy clouds We're
drifting to and fro:
'Oh. see. mamma; the clouds look
just like feathers!"
The clouds look just like feathers. AS
the words that came from the childish
lips fell upon the ear of the young man
he started. He had heard those very
words before, and they brought to his
mind the hours of his happy childhood,
and filled him with a longing for the
days of long ago. AS his thoughts ran
back through the weary years of sin that
he had known picture presented itself

tache of the man.
