MARION KICKS PISTOL.

Hill Took II.
This morning Marion Kick was ar
raigned before Judge Calf charged
with carrying a pistol in the corpor-
ate limits. which is contrary to the
ordinance OF our city. He pleaded not
guilty OF the charge and went into
trial. pleading his own case
Mr. Hill was sworn and said in sub.
stance that when the southbound
train arrived this morning the defend.
ant debarked and went into the depot.
carrying in one hand long, black pis.
tol and that he got friend to hold
his overcoat while he went to iuvestl.
gate the case.
When Mr.. Hill went in defendant
had disappeared and was taking 4
near cut for up town, as though he
wanted 20 be seen as little as possible.
which Of itself looked suspicious.
The officer was not long in overtak.
ing the man and the long pistol and
as he came up with him he hailed him
and asked him what he had there.
Defendant Kick said it was none Of
his business and went down after his
gun. Mr.. Hill already had his in his
hand, and thinking that Kick meant to
shoot Mr.. Hill fired at him. The ball
struck a note book in his pocket and
glanced around. Had 1t not been foI
the book something serious might have
happened.
He then took his pistol from him and
as he was placing it away Kick broke
and ran. Later he found him at the
Cottage hotel and locked him up.
Defendant told the judge that h,
was a traveller and that while he wal
over at Holdenyille few days ago h,
was pounced upon and robbed, tina
when he got to Oklahoma City h'
thought 1t advisable to secure a gun
which he did. When Mr. Hill stoppe,
him he thought ne was some NOR
of those robbers and that is whyrhr
went for the gun.
Judge Gait then told him that from
the evidence and from the fact tha
he cut across to go to town insteai
of taking the streets, the court was le,
. TO believe that he was not carrying tn
pistol as a traveller, and II became hi
painful duty to fine him, which h
did, putting the fine ct $25.

ORIGIN OF ASPHALT.
Several Theories Advanced to Account
for the Mineral.


An original theory in regard to the
formation of asphalt was that it was
produced by the evaporation of the vol
atile parts from crude petroleum over
beds of sand, the residue being asphalt.
Prof. Winchel, in his walks and
Talks in the Geological Field" says;
1.-The oil strata were so tilted that the
fluid parts escaped, leaving the as
phalt."
Prof. Orion has another theory, which
was the one generally accepted twenty
years ago. 1t was that the crude pc
troleum assembled by capillary attrac-
ton until it reached an imperyious stra-
tum, where, being more or less exposed
to the atmospheric action by eyapora-
ton and oxidation, it was changed into
asphalt.
The asphalt of Trinidad was gener-
ally believed to be of volcanic origin.
These theories were commonly ac-
cepted before the discovery of the Ken
lucky deposits, which, after examina-
ton, clearly disproyed them. Prof. Or
ton himself abandoned his theory, al
though it was consistent with some of
the deposits which are in the Chester
/ sandstone, being overlaid by a clay
/ shale. If this capillary theory had been
correct the asphalt would have been
/ found in the top of the sandstone, next
to the shale, and would have left some
trace in the sand and limestone below,
while the facts are the sandstone, both
above and below the asphalt strata, is
entirely free from any trace of 1t, and
there are even fine streaks of perfectly
white sand interspersed between lay
ers of bituminous sandstone, showing
conclusively that bituminous matter
could not have come up from below,
but was deposited at the same time
with the sand.-American Asphalt Jour-

\ Chicago appeal TO Congress for
uniformity in legislation concerning
marriage and divorce will serve to at
tract attention to the growing dimen-
sons of the divorce evil. 1t can do
nothing more. The Bureau of Stats
tics of the Treasury Department may
eollate divorce data If SO ordered at
federal cost Publication of the fig
ures will emphasize the need of wiser
laws. Congress cannot impose upon
the States on such question any law
which the Individual State Legislatures
shall decline to adopt. Marriage and
divorce are within the domain of re-
served legislative States rights. New
States needing immigration cannot be
expected to adopt social regulations as
conservative as those found satisfae-
tory in old communities. Some of the
Western States are reeoiling already
from the disgrace of lax laws touch
ins the marital relation. Western pub
lie sentiment Is crystallizlng in favor
of denial of divorce for causes ante
dating residence in the State where
application for divorce Is made. If re-
marriage of the guilty party to the di-
vorcee were added to that a substantial
check would be placed upon the social
decentralization now prevalent in con-
sequence of the ease with which mar
rage obligations may be assumed and
discarded Nor Is the reform in the
divorce laws to be expected while min
listers preach the gospel of caprice and
selishness pronounced by Rev. Minot
j. Savage, who tells his followers to
separate If they cannot live together
In mutual love-" The preacher did not
define love" a fair. Interpretation
of his phraseology would justify the
impulsive or the profigate in swapping
the marriage tie whenever either or
both fancy for moment or longer
that they no longer love" each other.
This is anarchy in the home. Thele
must be divorce laws as well as mar
riage laws. They ought to rest upon a
foundation of reason as well as of lib
erty. For the preservation of homes
and the protection of children love
ought to mean something more than
caprice or unlimited license to yield to
immoral attractions

The marble busts of nearly all the
j Vice Presidents are arranged In inches
about the Senate chamber and In the
north corridor of the Senate wing Of
the capitol. Every visitor to the cap
! itol looks at these works OF art and Is

Busts of Vice Presidents. That Is all
that Is known Of them. The irony of
fate Is still further enhanced by the
fact that II was not even known that
the identity of these busts had been lost
until an attempt was made to mark
them.
When the Senate ordered that these
marble representations of the features
of its presiding officers be chiseled
there was no thought of placing names
upon them. Famous men, whose names
we're household words throughout the
land, were known to every one about
the capitol. 1t seemed ms ridiculous
to mark them as 1t would have been
to place tags on the leaders of the Sen
ate themselves. But memory Is not
long In the galleries of the lmmortals.
The time came recently when It was
discovered that the famous men were
unknown. Then an order was given
that their identity be established and
that their names should be cut on the
under side of the marble. This has not
proved to be an easy task. There are
three busts the identity of which has
not been determined. except by pro-
cess Of elimination. The oldest EN-.
ployes of the Senate are being inter
viewed to see If they can recognize
them. They belong to the first half Of
the last century. Old paintings AMI
other pictures have been consulted, and
1t Is believed that in the course of time
evidence will be forthcoming to place
beyond controversy the names OF the
Vice Presidents Of whom the busts
were made. Then. when their names

Chinese literature, almost unknown
to Western peoples, is rich In parallels
and fables. DR.. w. A. z. Martin. in
his book, THE Lore Of Cathay," gives
several which may not be as good as
Aesop, but are greatly superior to those
of some of his modern imitators.
A tiger who had never seen an ass
was terrified at the sound of his voice,
and was about to run away, when the
donkey turned his heels and prepared
to kick.
IF that is your mode of attack" said
the tiger. 81 know how to deal with
you"
In another fable the donkey gets
even.
A tiger captured monkey. The
monkey begged to be released on the
score Of his inslgnlficance. and prom
Used to show the tiger where he might
find a more valuable prey. The tiger
complied, and the monkey conducted
him to a hillside where an ass was feed
ing-an animal which the tiger had
never before seen.
MY good BROTHER" said the ass to
the monkey, hitherto you have always
brought me two tigers. How is 1t that
you have brought me only one today"
The tiger fed for his life. Thus a
ready wit wards off danger.
The principle of the next fable the
Chinese always apply to their Euro
pean instructors in the art of war
tiger, finding a cat very prolific in
devices for catching game. placed him
self under her instruction. At length
he was told there was nothing more to
be learned.
"Have you taught me all your
tricks?"
Yes" replied the eat.
Then" said the tiger, you are of no
further use, and so shall eat YOU
The cat, however. sprang lightly into
the branches Of a tree and smiled at
the tigers disappointment She had not
taught the tiger all her tricks.
