OTHER PART Of the
UNITED STATES.

Frank D. Northrup, of Oklahoma
Farm Journal, Oklahoma City, who
was In Chicago recently, is very en-
thusiastic over present conditions in
Oklahoma and Indian Territories.
Farmers are prosperous, farm lands
are rising int value, and the country
is growing rapidly in population. If
the two territories are admitted to-
gether the new state will have nearly
1000, 900 people,. II Oklahoma ia ad-
mitted alone it viii have a larger pop
ulation than any other state has had
at the time of its admission.
Nearly everything is grown in Okla
hema-corn, wheat, oats and cotton
being the staple products. Cow peas
and alfalfa are in great favor with
farmers and stockmeu. Mr.. Northrup
claims that Oklahoma is unsurpassed
for fruit production. He sums up the
advantages of the new applicant for
statehood by saying that farmer can
make money easier in Oklahoma tnan
In any other part of the United States.

That's too much" said Col. Ed

Beall. !.

well, when one goes into street

when people are making almost audi

1t is impossible to appear unconscious

learned is this:
"At the very first sign of that sort Of

then let your eyes travel slowly down

The Umbrella Nuisance.

Everybody has seen him, for he Is
familiar figure on all the principal
streets and is multitudinous in num-
berthe man who holds his folded
umbrella by the handle SO that it is
inclined backward at an angle of 45
degrees, and swings it as he walks.
This position of the weapon brings
the ferule exactly on line with the
shins of the person behind the WELD
er, and if there be no intimate and
painful contact between them it may
be attributed to the nimble dodging of
the owner of the shins than to the
fault of the owner of the umbrella.
If man will carry an umbrella
when IT. Is not raining why does he
not use it as walking stick, or hold
it by his side in an upright position?
What right has he to turn so useful an
instrument into weapon, every stab
Of which threatens to infiict a painful
wound? And yet if you demonstrate
with him there are 10 chances to one
that he will be seriously offended at
your presumption.
1t is said they do things quite diff
ferently abroad, particularly in the
large cities of the continent. If
man so far forgets himself-and 9TH
ers-as to carry his umbrella in that
way over there you have perfect
conventional right to call him to or
der, and he politely responds by
thanking you for calling his. attention
to his breach of good form.-Detroit

Some curious figures come from the

gradual extinction of the harmful, I'M

ony the squatters found that the
resident marsupials had an irritating
way of eating up the grass and indigen-

and passed measure called the mar
supial destruction act, under which re-
wards were offered for these animals
scalps This act has been renewed from
time to time, and is in force at the
present day. For the year ended June
1901, scalps were brought in to the
number of 1,295,74S These scalps in
cluded those of kangaroos, wallabies
and other marsupials, and of dingoes

total sum paid for these scalps was

half years no less than 7.S16,S43 scalps
were paid for in this one state.

VALUABLE METAL.
Iron Is Worth Much More Than Gold
and Silver Combined


What are our precious metals?
Gold and silver" you answer. That
depends. If by preciousness is meant
the value of the product in dollars
and cents-our golden rule of meas
urement-then gold and silver are not
the precious metals, according to the
recently issued report of the United
States geographical survey, which
gives us the money value of the prod
ucts wrested from the earth's dark
laboratory in 1901. The gold, the
precious yellow metal, poured from ma
lures crucible In this land last year
is valued at 5000 900, and If to this
we add the metal value of the silver
we have Sill, 100000. But what is
that compared with the pig iron prod
uct of the same time, which is valued
at $241. 100000? The iron produced
is more precious than the gold and sill
yer combined by $l30,000,000.
Modest copper, Indian-complexioned
copper, can put the oriental-hued gold
to the blush. for last year 1t enriched
us in the sum of $S7, 100000, 50. 100000
more than the value of the yellow met
al. Even the base lead that was
mined Is one-third the value of the
gold When we go little deeper and
measure the structural purposes gold
and silver are again distanced, for the
building stone, clay and cements that
were launched by us into the channels
of commerce in 1901. are valued at
1882 100000. The gold and silver pro-
duced in the same time was $1,000
600 short of being enough to purchase
this output. When we go little deep
err and measure tho value of coal, pc
troleum and natural gas that we pur-
Joined from beneath the fruitful breast
of mother earth we find its value four
times that of all the gold and silver

WHY MAMMALIAN FAILED.
His Government Not Of the Sort Re-
uuired by Mexico.

quiTeO py mcNSo.
When the tourist ascends the Hill Of
Chapultepec to the great castle. and at
last stands on the board terrace with Its
incompatible view out over the tm-
mense valley in which the City of Mex
leo is but a grayish-Drown patch, he
will think of the man who has such
power and prestige between the Gulf
ard the Pacific, from the Rio Grande
to the mahogany forests of the dis
tant south. There is no king or en-
peror in Europe who rules by right
stronger than this nation-bullder, this
modernizer and pacificator.
The temper of Macmillan was not
equal to the tremendous task set for
him here in Mexico Emperor" he was
called, but his empire was day after
day shifting it's borders. From this
Castle of Chapultepec he could look
right into the great sierra where lurked
the fierce republican guerrllas who
swooped down into the suburbs OF the
capital and even once seized his En-
press from her coach while she was
on her way to open school in Tacu-
bapa. That she was set down in safety
was due to the fact that the French
dragons, riding far behind. hurried
up, and the guerrilla leader had to
make his escape. The Macmillan en-
pire stood only where French rifles
could shoot.
Men in Sonora, in fair Sinaloa, in
Guanajuato and Vera Cruz, in freedom
loving Oaxaca and in remote Tabasco
did not feel in their hearts that Maxi
milan rightfully ruled. His name did
not move mems imagination. He was
ever the foreigner" the intruder. He
sat here in his stately castle, fit resi-
dence for a great king, surrounded by
his court, and devised orders and deco
rations, planned schools and colleges,
gave much thought to uniforms and
matters of etiquette, to all those things
that fill the life of constitutional
monarch in Europe.
A kindly, benevolent, chivalric man
was Macmillan, but the realm he had
come across the seas to rule over
swarmed with hardy republican pa
triots, and every mountain was safe
retreat for them when hard pressed.
So, with French bayonets, Macmillan
held the cities and larger towns, and
the republican, Juarez, rightful ruler,
driven hither and thither, almost
phantom government his, stood for all
that Mexico had dreamed of when
she threw off the yoke of Spain.-Chi-
cago Inter-Ocean.
