MORE ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT.

Several days ago attention was
called to the laundering, incomplete as
sessments of McCracken county, which
have been obviously so far short OF
what they ought to be that the tax rate
has to be made much higher, and the
revenue derived much smaller than Is
right or desirable. srr

larger county, but one nothing to COM
mare to McCracken in wealth, his Just
been completed, and comparison re-
veals some of the glazing errovs in our

nent figure. In McCracken the num-

about three-eighths Of the total assess

McCracken, and about six-sevenths ia

To Test Homestead Rights.

Guthrie, Okla, September H.
A case of vast importance was filed
to-day in the Oklahoma supreme
court, wherein homesteader in
the KIowa and Comanche country
seeks to secure permanent iujunc-
tion, preventing the Oklahoma
southern gas, oil and mining comp
any from tresspassing on his claim
for the purpose of prospecting
and drilling for oil and minerals.
This is to be test case, and on its
decision pends the rights of home
sUeaders on at least 5000 claims in
:he new country. The mining
prospectors claim the right to enter
upon homestead for the purpose
of prospecting. There is an opin-
ion by the Oklahoma supreme court
holding the courts have jurisdiction
in land cases until the government
has issued patent, and the secretary
of the interior has held that mIning
prospectors have no right to enter
upon a homestead unless 1t be known
that valuable deposits of mineral
were on the land prior to the home
steader's entry thereon. Between
these two decisions the supreme
court has a difficult problem.

Nippy's Break fast.

"Bow-wow!" said Boxer, the great
st. Bernard.
'Woof!" said Rex. the collie.
And both the big dogs looked up
from the bones they were gnawing to
snap at Nippy, the little fox terrier,
who had come up to near to the butch
erman's cart, they thought.
GO away" snapped Rex. This is
our butcherman; he brings meat for
our master and us. He wouldn't give
anything to a little dog like you"
please, big doggies,' said Nippy,
cant l have the bones when you get
through eating them?"
"If you don't bother us may be you
can," Boxer growled, munching away,
So Nippy sat down and watched
them gnawing away. How he wished
his master knew such good butcher
man as theirs did so that he, too,
could have nice juicy bones!
The butcherman came out of the
house talking angrily to himself.
Here, get out of the way. you
dogs." he said, shaking his basket at
Rex and Boxer. My how quickly
those two big dogs skunk off with their
bones in their mouths.
Poor Nippy, he too, dropped his
tail between his legs and turned to
run away. No bones for him today.
why, come here, you poor little fel-
low. Wouldn't those big ones let you
have share? Well, you shall have
some breakfast this minute. Here's I
bone for you. Now be off, and don't
let them get it away from you, mind"
Nippy knew better. He grabbed that
lovely bone from the butchers hand
and put for home as fast as his four
legs would carry him.-Brooklyn

There are few people who do not
find the daily sea bath an agreeable
tonic; yet there are multitudes who
hesitate to continue such baths in
their own homes after they have left
the seashore. The truth is that daily
bathing in any water is in itself re-
fIeshing and agreeable, so long as the
individual is In health, and it is Just
the tonic that weak, nervous women
need.
The best time to bathe is usually
early in the morning, and the best
temperature for the person in health
is about 20 degrees, or the tempera-
ture of the room in which the bath is
taken. Such a morning dip should
not be continued longer than from
three to five minutes, and should be
instantly followed by brisk rubbing
with friction towels in order to put
the skin in glow.
The best authorities seem to agree
that all the advantages that come
from a sea bath can be secured in
from five to eight minutes. 1t is also
desirable to keep up brisk exercise
in sea bathing in order to gain the
greatest benefit from it.
All these rules apply with double
force to bath at home, which lacks
the tonic effect of salt water. a great
many persons always add cup of
rock salt dissolved in a little warm
water to their daily bath. 1t tends 10
prevent chill. A little perfumed al
cohol is also used for the same reason.
A bag Of bran and orris root, soaked
in the water, gives the bather the
faint, fresh fragrance of violets,
though it has no special hygenic value
When one feels chilly after bathing
it is sure indication that there has
been no reaction of the skin. and that
it is not safe to indulge in so cold a
bath. Such peoples hould take baths
at night at a tepid temperature. And
if morning bath is also desirable, it
should be at least slightly warmed, Of
short duration and brisk rubbing.

A Winter Nutting Party.

"a letter for you!" said Mr.. Chad
wick, looking up from his mornings
mail and tossing a small square en-
velope to Mabel.
For me, papa? l wonder who it is
from" and Mabel in flutter of antic-
ipation ran for her paper-cutter
1t proved to be an invitation from
Ethel Cheney, one of her school mates,
to her nutting party on the next Satur
day afternoon.
Il am so glad" said Mabel. I'VE
always have such nice times at Ethel's
house. But isn't this queer?" and she
read aloud, Baskets, but no extra
wraps, will be needed"
That means you are to gather your
nuts in the house, instead Of in the
woods" explained Mabels brother
Ralph. with a laugh.
Il don't just See low said Mabel.
Nobody else seemed to see Just
how" and for the next three days the
nutting party was the principal topic
of conversation among Ethel's play
mates.
Saturday afternoon found Mabel,
with half-dozen cther children, on
the steps of the Cheney home, each
carrying a basket. Inside were more
girls and boys and baskets. and for
time the maid who attended the door
was kept busy admitting the bright,
merry-faced guests.
When all had arrived, Ethel's
grown-up sister, Miss Eunice, made
known the way in which the nuts were
to be gathered.
Two bushels of walnuts had been
scattered through the house from gar
ret to basement, and the childrenS
part was to find them. Each one was
to carry home all that he gathered,
and they were at liberty to search any
where for them wherever there were
open doors. The only restrictions
made were that neither doors nor
drawers were to be opened.
When the signal was given there
was moments hesitation. and then
what scampering there was in all
directions! Closed doors were soon
found to be in very small minority.

and thoroughly warmed from top to
bottom, and everywhere the searchers
came upon nuts, either singly or in
small piles.
Beds AMI bureaus. chairs and tables
held the coveted prizes, and many an
explorer of some particularly dark cor
Ier of stairway or closet was rewarded
by the addition of a big handful to his
store
Was there ever such another merry
time! Such clatter of nimble feet
Such shouts and squeals! Such musi-
cal laughter. Such hum of happy
voices! 1t was worth far more than
the trouble Just to see and hear it all.
asserted Mrs. Cheney, as she watched
the boys ana girls flying hither and
thither in their eager haste.
But it was in the old garret that the
children had the most sport. The
queer hiding places in which nuts
might be found gave zeast to the
search, ami when Mabel emerged from
under the cobwebby caves with hair a
little rumpled, but triumphantly hold
ing full pint of walnuts, what dasn
there was for the dark corners!
At last it was over, the chill lren
could find no more nuts, and down
stairs they trooped to consider their
