THE Power OF SUPERSTITION
"I wish / wasn't superstitious,
said . well-known young man.
.'I'd have it taken off,"
"Have what taken of ?"
"Why, this great big mole on
my nose."
"What are you afraid Of about
it !; bleeding to death ?" sea
"No, NO; it's inst bad luck to
have o mole taken of. It's worse
than having Q black cat cross your
path. or even to have q hooting owl
light on the roof" 81 1if.I1
"I don't know Why it 10 bad luck,
but my black nanny used to say,
Chile, don't yo' nebber let 'em try
to take dat mole off'n your nose. ,
'What'll happen, Aunt Sarah,
if do?' ] used to ask her.
s'I dunno, chile. Some folks
say as the place won't nebber get

the spring wheat harvest.
The steel strike has affected prices ex-
tensively, particularly on sales for i'm

vance has been greatest, while hoops.

MANGUM AND GRANITE

Guthrie. o. T. Aug. 16.-The members
OF the commission appointed by Governor
eJnkins TO select a site for the South
western Normal school. as provided for
by the last territorial legislature, have
started out on a tour Of inspection Of the
principal towns in the southwest. The
commission was not complete when it
left here. but the members hoped to find
Embry on their tour and complete the
work. The members went to FL Reno
and from FL Reno viii go 20 Chickasha
and from theer TO Mangum and other
towns on the Rock Island. There viii be
quite a contest between Mangum and
Granite TO secure IN normal school. 1t
was estimated at the time the bill passed
that one Of the two towns would get the
school But the hard question win be
which one Will be favored more than the
other It may be possible that some
other southwestern town viii secure the
normal, but the announcement will not
be made for some time. The members OF

Guthrie have given no indications Of
their intentions regarding the matter.

say they are going to locate the normal.

ton. Just what the result Of the trip
Will be is hard to tell, but Governor Jen-
kins has served notice on teh old com
mission that he viii not recognize them

Several men were in the city last night

current that an attempt may be made

advice of the Smithsonian Institute. and
IN a reply received from him, he stated
that he had never heard of such a coin
age and did not believe there was such
a piece OF money in existence, and that
if it was as stated by Mr.. Hartwell.
it was worth from 5000 upward. de-
pending upon the state of preservation.
Nr. HartweH forwarded it 10 him and
put price of 5000 upon it and has
not heard from him since the coin was
sent.
That there is not another one OF
these coins in existence is a strange
fact and adds materially to the valu
of this one. There can no question
of the age Of the piece, as it was pur-
chased from an Indian who stated that
it had been in the possession Of the fam
ily for number of generations"
