The governor dwells on the msgnif-

Barnes says among other things.

poraped with Oklahoma as one state
we would place a star upon the flag
OF our country whose iustre would
not be dimmed by the constellation Of

favorably with those Of the most al

the government, feeling in the slight

demand by the tax gatherers. On the

sources restricted 10 agriculture and

HAD LONG STRUGGLE
Miss Julia Marlcwe Chats About
 Her Career on the Stage.
Worked Hard and Faithfully for Years Before Obtaining Recog- n1tisn-Non Her Way Sure
 1y, But Slowly.

Miss Julia Marlowe, in an interest ing article in the Philharmonic maga- zine. relates the o1@.ails of the long struggle which led to her recognition. After reading her story it is not diff fcult to understand why she writes: T feel could not go through it again"
 Born in England, her parents came to this country when she was ht- tie girl, and chose Kansas, not alto- gether fortunately for themselves, for their abode. But the need which was the chief reason for the commence ment of the stage career of their daughter cannot now be viewed other than as happy circumstance. Those were the days of the juvenile opera troupes, and of one of them the child attracted the attention of the man. ageress of the company, and to that woman, whom Miss Marlowe does not name, she gives the credit for her after rigorous training.
 The manageress adopted the girl. who then was B years old, and took her to New York to begin her actual stage education. For three years it lasted, with intermissions only of two weeks each summer and holidays on the Fourth of July, Christmas and New Years day.
 "My mornings" Miss Marlowe writes, "were devoted to reading aloud and to going over plays with my in structress. Whole dramas were acted out, my adopted aunt my only audi ence, holding the book and reading the other parts. In the majority of them l have never appeared, nor was t intended that should. The aim was that should build up an exten- sive repertory and famiiarize myself with the conceptions of the worlds

RAT THAT CATCHES MICE.
White Rodent in Brooklyn That Takes Delight in Sharing It.
 Smaller Kin.

One of the best mousers in the coun. try is a white rat owned by resident of Brooklyn. This rat, with several of his kind, has been kept in a cage ill an unused stable in the rear of the mans home. Their food attracted all the mice in the neighborhood until the place swarmed with them and they be- gan to overflow into the house.
 The man tod the children that he would have to get rid of their pets. The little son went back to the sta- ble and let the rats out, so that papa could not catch them. The gra andfa ther of the lot, a big fellow, scurried off into the straw, and in minute there was squeaking. He soon appeared with q mouse in his mouth.
 He carried it into the cage and start : ed out after another mouse, which he soon caught. He seemed to have a strong hatred for them and was inde- fatiguable in his hunting. He was left at liberty all night and in the morning ten mice were dead in his cage.
 It was decided to keep the pets and to give the old fellow his liberty every night. This proved a good plan. This strange mouser hunts like dog, going over his ground carefully. quickly, silently and thor oughly, now and then stopping to sniff for scent of his prey.

WOMAN WITH NEKV l.
Prevented Fourteen Desperate Men
 from Breaking Jail.
When "GIant Jack'' Faced a Re- vo1ver in the Hands of Mrs. Kees He Quietly Submitted to
 the Inevitable.

stTo the bravest woman in the west; to the woman n who saved her husband and baby from death, and saved so- ciety from the inhiction of 14 de esperate criminals; to Susan Kees, who pre- vented by her heroism general deliv- cry from the Walla Walla jaii. Decem- Der 22, 1901, these tokens are inscribed by admiring friends
 The brayest woman? Perhaps she is, but Susan Kees wept like the weak est of her sex when a committee of the townspeople visited the Wa,la WaMa jail few days ago and presented her with a silver water pitcher and goblet bearing the above inscription.
 "You oyerestimate my prowess, I'm afraid" she said, when she had recov- cred her voice. After all, you must re- member, only did my duty.'
 ''And did it we'll" responded the cit izens of WaEa Walla, as in chorus.
 It was the desire of three western desperadoes to eat their Christmas dinner outside of prison walls that gave Mrs. Kees the opportunity to show her mettle. Wal.a Wal,a, Wash, always had considered the sheriff's wife plucky little creature. but never had the town reached the point where it seemed justified in challenging the west for her equal.
 Among the desperate men who were locked in the Walla Wal.a jail were Ar thur Rogers, San Jose bad man, who has had an interior view of many pen- itentiaries; Marshall Linn, highway man, and Giant Jack" Andrews, the terror of the Coppei hills. Eleven other men who never had ornamented soci- ety were behind the bars, but the plot to escape is believed to have originated with Rogers. Linn and Andrews.

man life more or lessis not matter of great concern to the bad men of the Walla WaLa country.
 It was on Sunday evening when Jailer Malone stepped into the corri- dor to lock the cells for the night. A figure leaped from shadow, there was a quick blow, and in another in- stant three men were sitting astride the prostrate 5jaiter- Giant Jack" had his fingers oniMalone's throat and wa s choking him to death.
 Frantically Malone clungto the keys. but his grip was weakening. Outside the crippled sheriff was standing on guard, gun in hand, but fearful that he could not withstand the rush of the 14 maddened men.
 The prisoners secured the keys and in an instant the door was unlocked. . Sheriff Kees braced himself, and tried as best he could to prevent the men from pushing the iron barrier open. Suddenly a woman's voice was heard:
 'sThat will do, Giant Jack,' sit said. "Go back to your cell-go back to your cell, or I'll shootl''
 
 had been thrown against the door, staggered back. Through the crack of the door protruded the barrel of re- vo,ver, and g,ancing over the sights were the snapping blue eyes of the sheriff's wife.
 You understand, do you, Jack" the woman said. "I'm going to kill you unless you return to your cell"
 The other prisoners, less dogged than their leader, already had slunk to the rear of the corridor. Giant Jack" hesitated for nome Tt. as if trying to devise some way to conquer the plucky woman who held his life in her hands. "One, two, th--"

 That is why Mrs. Kees is the idol of all Wal.a Walla-an idol that will not be shattered easily, for who could fail to admire the bravest woman in the west?

SOUTH AFRICAN DIAMONDS.
rhe Mines of That Country Yield Over Forty Million Dollars
 Annually.

At meeting of the shareholders of the De Beers Mining company the chairman stated that the De Beers and Kimberley mines had been in full swing for 32 years, and were new pro- ducing diamonds to the value of e8,- 100000 annually. The company's three mines at Dutoitspan, Bullion tein, and Premier had four and a halt times the area of the other two, and had been little worked thus far. If the De Beers and Kimberley mines were worked out the company would still be able to maintain it's output for 144 years. The company was now getting better price for diamonds, and as soon as normal conditions re- turned the profits would considerably increase. He added that the stock of rough diamonds in London was never lower than now.
 MF. Cecil Rhodes wrote. says Kim berley correspondent of the Toronto Mail and Empire, agreeing to pro- posal to capitalize his life governor ship interest in order to avoid friction between himself and the sharehold- ers, but he said it was a heavy sacri- fee, which he would have wished to avoid.

 great dramatists. Tables and chairs served to indicate the scenery and the positions of other players in the act. In the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet the back of the sofa was the balcony rail, and over it, with my eyes fixed tenderly upon worn place in the carpet, I first delivered Juliet's good night to her lover.
 After three or four hours in the morning came luncheon, simple, hearty meal. Then the mornings rou- tine was repeated throughout the afternoon.
 ssSuch severe physical exercise as fencing and gymnastics were an inn portant feature of my training. Stand ing six feet from the wall with napier tn my hand I would lunge for a hun dred times successively at tiny wafer perhaps quarter of an inch in diam eter-pasted to the wall. It came to be considered not extraordinary when I pierced the wafer e9 out of 100 times
 sBut the most essential of all was the cultivation of my voice. That part of my training was entirely musical, the purpose being to give me such an experience as every singer intended for the opera undergoes, to render my voice an instrument which could be played upon in all it's parts and in stantly made to respond to any emo ton without any evidence of effort To this day I take two vocal lessons a week, like any beginner. I never had any so-called elocutionary training"
 The strife for recognition itself came after the three years Of study were over. The 16-year-old girl was deter mined upon an independent career, and to every one of New Ycrk's chief managers she went resolutely asking not for place in their company, but for their sponsorship. In telling the experience she gives no names. but it is not difficult to pick out the man. agers upon whom she called. Most of them still live. Their reception was alike in the particular that they re- fused to assist her. Two of them gave her advice on the manner of her read ings-bad advice, she was sure-and two others offered her a position in their stock companies. One laughed at her pretensions, and him she hated.
 Not discouraged by defeat and more than ever resolved to accept the dom- ination of no manager, she at last de- termined to give special perform Rnce on her own account. In October, 1887. she and her instructress raised sufficient money to enable her to ap- pear as Parthenia at an experimental matinee at the Biiou theater. The fruit of her daring was honest critical praise and the attention of persons interested in theatrical art and in theatrical business From that time on she won her way, not rapidly, but surely. Work, she says in conclusion, has been the only magic in her achieve ulents.

 Several detectives of the Sherlock Holmes type were put on the case. They worked long and hunted far, but all in vain. A bartender and an errand boy fell under suspicion and were dis charged, though the evidence was not sufficient to warrant arrest.

 This gave the olew to the detectives. who were standing by. They exam ined the cash drawer and found that rats had gotten into it. Behind a par tition hastily torn away Reiner found S8o in bills; further search revealed $48 more. Six carpenters were put to work tearing up the flooring in the basement and the walls. They picked up hundreds of dollars in bills formed into nests in every nook. By noon Reiner had recovered nearly all the money, except a small part which the thieves had torn.

WASps IN HIS HAT.
Why an Imposing Ceremony fn a Pannsyivania SchooIhOuse Was
 Hastily Postponed.

According to correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean, writing from Susquehanna, Pa, the congregation ln the little red schoolhouse at Gray's Corners was unusually large on re- cent Sunday, it having been noised abroad that at the close of the service two popular young people of the neigh borhood would be united in marriage by visiting Elder Eckanah Swift.
 Before starting for the schoolhouse, Mrs. Scott, who had entertained the elder at her home, insisted that he should wear silk hat, as the occa- sion was very unusual one. Going
