A standing reward is offered for the
syllogism twister who can show how
the obligation of congress TO provide
an adequate endowment for the
schools OF the Indian Territory is in
any degree lessened by the admission
Of Oklahoma to statehood without In
dian Territory.
No matter how you turn the ques-
tion over or try to dodge the issue, it
stands there the same. The obliga-
tion is acknowledged by congress and
will be generously met as it always
has been when new states were ad-
mitted.
There is absolutely no ground for
all this campaign outcry by republi-
can speakers about dividing Oklaho-
mas school fund in the event of union
with Indian Territory.
The fact is that this outcry is raised
nowemerely for campaign purposes
and for the purpose of frightening
those who may not have ca efully con-
sidered the proposition, well knowing
how jealous the people are of any in
trusion on or diminution Of the school
fund
There is not the slightest doubt in
the world but that congress will
properly provide for the school chill
dren Of the Indian Territory. They
have always acknowledged the obli'
CATION and will generously discharge

A HIGH PRICED AD.
The had Bargain That Was Made by
"a French Dentist.

During a recent festival at Neuilly a
young woman attracted the attention
of a large crowd by holding a heavy
bar of iron between her teeth. Among
those who watched her was n dentist,
and at the close Of her performance a
luminous idea came 90 him, and he de-
termined to carry It out.
Going TO the young woman, he said:
"Mademoiselle, | am n dentist, and
therefore l am more impressed with
the wonderful power of your jaws
than any one else. Now, l am about
TO make q proposition to you. l will
give you $3.50 il you will write a letter
TO me saying that you do all this work
by the aid of a set of false teeth which
/ have manufactured for you"
After some thought the young wo-
man replied: Il will accept your offer
on one condition. You must first give
me as many dollars as l can raise from
the ground with my teeth"
The dentist hesitated n moment and
then said that he would give her in
dollars as many % cent pieces as she
could raise. To this she agreed, and
a few minutes later the dentist was al
most stupefed when he saw her raise
a weight which was equal to that OF
$4,000. 1t was a costly advertisement
for the dentist.

Divers Madness.

An Australian pearl diver says that
one OF the strange effects of diving is
the invariable bad temper felt while
working at the bottom of the sea. AS
this usually passes away as soon as the
surface is reached, It is probably due
TO the pressure OF the air affecting the
lungs and through them the brain. The
exhilaration and good temper of the
mountain climber are contrary feelings
from an opposite cause. diver be-
comes so angry at some imaginary
wrongdoing on the part of those In the
boat above that he gives the signal TO
be pulled up, with the intention Of
knocking the heads of the entire crew."

when the surface Is reached.
