Teachers wont feel fattered by the
statement of Professor Il. j. James of
the Chicago university, who says 1
venture the assertion that the major
ity of the men who fill professors
chairs in colleges and high schools to-
day are there because they were forced
to teach upon leaving college, and, be-
coming stranded, had no choice but to
remain teachers. Teaching offers the
largest pay to an unskilled college grad
a1iate Teaching as rule does not
tempt bright men because of the poor
prospects and uncertain tenure of en-
'ployment.

the boys we're playing in this cave house
when the ground-a sandy loan, softened
and made weak by the recent heavy rains
began caying, and in a short time the
mouth Of the cavern was filed, and the
dirt began falling in the rooms partition
ed of in the cavern playhouse and before
the boys realized what was happening,
or had any sense of their danger, the
earth had completely covered them up.
Claude Baine was one Of the first to
realize what had happened and that
death was certain If he did not get out in
short order. Without losing his head or
being overcome by fright. he set to work
to try TO find his way out. He was sepa-
rated from his companions by the dirt
that had fallen filling the excavation and
luckily, when he started to work his way
out he had the right direction.
The boy used his hands with almost
superhuman strength, scratching the
sand and dirt from in front Of him. and
pushing his body forward with all his
might in the direction he thought TO be
right, and in fifteen minutes, as he esti-
mates it, he was rewarded by seeing the
sunlight. As soon as he was on the out
side he saw that any efforts OF his own
TO save his companions would be useless
and he started to Durant as fast as he
could run, giving the alarm. In a short
time the news had spread about town,
and a large number of men went to the
creek bank. guided by young Baine, and
began the work Of removing the dirt
The earth was removed and the bodies
discovered. Some of the boys hal been
so stunned by the shock that they had
worked the wrong way and were sufocat-
ed while they worked. It was not an
hour from the time the creek bank caved
in till the bodies were taken out dead.
The creek bank where the boys were
suffocated is about a half mile east of
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas depot,
at Durant, almost within the limits of
the town. The earth. which firm in
dry weather, was saturated by the
rain that had fallen for about twelve
hours and this caused the caving of the
bank, after the boys made their excava-
ton.
The funeral of the dead boys took place
in Durant this afternoon.

strated at Enid. The circumstance is
related by the Wave as follows:
A fourteen-year old boy crawled under
the canvas last night and witnessed the
hoochey cooche dance and he ran
right home and informed his mamma
what he had seen and lot OF things he
did not see. He gave her an imitation
of the muscular dance as near as he
could. Monday morning the boys mamma
put on ner sun bonnet and came down
town and gave Mayor Faubion side
walk lecture for allowing an indecent
performance on the streets The news
spread through the city. which stirred
up some more mammas and for a time
it looked as if Captain Vests brave
troop Of soldiers would have TO be called
out to smother a riot The show quit
business. however. the performance was
not any worse than what IS often seen
on the stage OF any well regulated thea
tres. OF course, it was not chaste and
really should not be allowed. either in an
opera house or in a tent on the streets

Guthrie. O. II, April 2o.-Even the In

grafton, as the following from the Wa
tonga Republican proves: a stranger
came to town the other day who wanted
some Indian articles to send back East
He saw young squaw carrying what he
supposed was Navajo blanket which he
very much desired TO have. After a
good deal of bartering in regard to price
and after The squaw had refused to sell
the blanket the stranger laid thirteen
silver dollars down. the squaw raked in
the money anu handed over the blanket
After the stranger had gone out Of sight
she evidently forgot that few minutes
before she apparently could not speak
or understand English and commenced
giggling like any other girl and said TO
the bystanders. II buy blanket for five
dollars and sell it for thirteen" The
young squaw was very much pleased
over her financial deal"

The Saltwater. Oklahoma. Gazette says
a travelling salesman for the Walter

in the city and last night related a rather
embarrassing circumstance which took
place a few days ago.
He had a Il days drive over this and
Pawnee county and had a prim young
driver. While stopping at hotel in a
certain town, his driver made love to a
handsome young widow, the landlady of
the hotel. He put up a smooth talk. tell

owner of the Wichita Pump house and
that he was with one of his statesmen
sort looking after the business and re-
cuperating. After he had almost won the
heart of the widow and after dinner was
over he was let down to such an extent
that he was willing to leave town. The
salesman was unaware of the little love
affair and ent~ssd the hotel Office and
asked where his d. driver was at when
suddenly the poor fellow responded. The
widow blushed. the driver cussed and the
salesman was sorry for having spoiled it
