If the present vigilance Of officials

county Despite the fact that the
grand jury has concluded it's work,
slot machines have not reappeared,
nor is there any indication that they
will be placed in public places soon.

ploded in the district court when Chief
Justice Burford instructed the grand
jury to investigate the violation of the
statutes in the operation of slot ma.

Building New Wing to the Present
Insane Home.

Within the next thirty days we ex-
pect 10 have our new building com
pleted at Norman. said F. H Thwine,
a member Of the Oklahoma sanitarium
company who is in the city today.
The building is two stories and of

gave his idea of the reasons for the
increase as follows:
Il hardly think that insanity is in
creasing," said he, but attribute the
increased number in the sanitarium
to the increase in population. There
have been three new counties added
to the territory. and these counties
have a large population other coun-
ties have filled up rapidly, and con
sequently as the population of the ter
ritory increases the For cent of insane
patients is bound to increase.
Then, again, after the company
first took charge of the institution,
many patients were dismissed as cur
ed. Ihey were being held there at
the request Of friends and relatives,
while the territory, owing to their i'm
proved condition, was not compelled
to care for them. BY dismissing them
from the institution, this cut down the

The members Of the sanitarium are
of the belief that railroad or means

QUEEN ALEXANDRA AND THE

 Queen Alexandra, who has just com menced her yearly visit to the land of her girlhood, is devotedly fond of dogs. and has all sorts, sizes and breeds. She has great skill in training, and the pets which she has about her are all capable of wonderful tricks. But there was one dog upon which her Majesty confesses that in vain she used to cast longing eyes. It was a famous per- forming dog named "Minos::" and it is the rage of a society entertainer. Invi- tation cards at great London houses used to hear the strange announcement, ''To meet the dog Minos." The follow ing story of this remarkable creature is often told by her Majesty: Upon one occasion, when bidden to carry hand kerchief to the most beautiful lady in the room, the rascalIy courier sprang to the queen, and laid it at her feet. Her Majesty laughed nlerTily, licked the dog in the face with her own handker- chief, and bade him do his duty honest ly. There-upon the dog picked up his handkerchief, and in great humility, approached our present Queen, lay down, and placed the handkerchief be- fore her.-St. James Gazette.

 One day Mrs. Bucklin noticed him initiate her rocking in her chair, by swaying on his perch and watching her. She began repeating 'Rock-a-by baby,' '' till he got it. He calls himself several pet names, such as Blessed Baby, darling baby, what a. baby, what darl- ing baby. what a boy" If he does any thing wrong, he usually planes Charlie, the green parrot, and screeehes Charlie naughty boy; whip Charlie" When he sees Mir. Bucklin sitting reading, he calls out, "Does the baby want to come? Course he wants to come," and keeps it up until he is taken out of his cage.
 Some of his other sayings are: When he hears cat meow, Come kittie, come kittie. don't cry, little darling, lit tie baby" and he cries like to break his heart, I'm sick" and then laughs as heartily as he cried minute before. He is fond os company, and knows all the tenants in the block. One parti- cular friend is Miss Nora Reedy, who has lived in the block thirteen years. Paul always halls her with Hello, Miss Reedy!" when she comes in and never forgets to say ''Goodby" when he sees her rise to go. When anyone cor rects him fer wrong doings, such as tearing the wall paper or furniture, he shouts, What O that? what O that, such boys, such boys. one little boy, two little boys, three little boys, seven little boys" It is very often days and even weeks after he hears word, that it occurs to him to repeat it, and then he keeps it up. -.
 I Paul sometimes talks in his sleep like a person having nightmare, and it is usually some word he has on his mind that he didn't quite master.
 About nine years ago, while on visit to Vermont, Paul flew into. the woods and was gone twenty-four hours He was startled by a shot ill the woods, and he flew into tree in the village of
 Warren, Vt., where he was caught. Ii the incident is referred to, even now, Paul ruf1les his feathers and makes every sign that the subject is distaste- full to him. G,

Short stories-and of the kind that every one nowadays delights in-seem to be the main feature of the October is- sue of the Metropolitan Magazine. F. Hopkinson Smith contributes a fascina- ting Venetian story, and illustrates 1t with frontispiece in colors. w. A. Fraser, who is called the American Kipling," begins series of animal tales, as told by the animals themselves, called "The Sa' -Zada Tales" The il- lustrations are by Arthur fleming, an
 artist, who has followed the forests
 denizens almost into their lairs, to study them so as to depict them with absolute truthfulness. Other fiction includes stories by Harriet Prescott Spofford, Tthel Watts Mumford, James Gardner Sanderson, Margaret Nelson Barry, William Hamilton Osborne, LuIle Wells Smith, Sewel1 Ford and John Fleming Wilson. There are several illustrated articles; "The Village Gardens of Brit tany," Professional Conscience" Cha
 mi-ni, the Apache" New York Homes of Famous Stage-Folk," besides the
 continuation of Maurice Hewlett's se-
 rial '"The Queens Quair,' considered by far better story than his popular

Outing for October is full of timely things for out-of-door men and women. with articles on shooting grouse, quail, ducks. sheep hunting in Alaska, and caribou. The visit of English golf and tennis experts to this country and their sweeping victories give especial interes to such articles as American Balls and British Golfers by Horace Hutchinson, the veteran English expert, and an analysis Of the reasons for the Doher- tvs clean sweep of American and inter- national tennis championships An g1ers will go far to find as interesting a human story as ''0n the Angling Ships, '' by Leonidas Hubbard, IT., who is now exploring Labrador for Outing.

There are a number of stories, all good in their different ways and each making it's human appeal-telling the truth about somebody. Perhaps, after all, there can be no stronger at- traction than just that; the public likes human truth. Other articles are by Alfred Henry Lewis, T. F. O'Connor, Will Payne and MT. o. Henry.

 one of it's mosi interesting contribu-

 Mrs. Booth finds warrant for it in her
 own experience. Perhaps she does not allow enough for the exceptional infiu- ence she herself possesses, but there is
 no possibility of doubting her record of facts, whether they are as typical as we would like to believe or not. The first
 place in the number goes to an article by Bayard Weller, the first of three un- der the general title of '"The Laborer's Hire" They describe his personal ex- ] perience as a laborer. Frederick $.
