said of them and who speaks.

Weeks it was immense. Winston Salem

But it was in the grand operate tale
of the grasshopper and the sweet potato
vine that he simply made the audience
laugh until the tears came.--Boston

Mr.. Weeks is one OF the most versatile
humorist's ever heard here. He recltes,
acts. impersonates and sings all kinds Of
songs from grand opera down to rag time
and in closing represented. alone, u
grand opera concert. sang all the parts
and made the audience see all the actors
and singers and heard the band all going
together.
The managers Of the lecture course
were aware that failIre to secure first
rate talent this year would be fatal to
the course hereafter. They have there
fore reduced the number to three and
paid high price for good talent. The
most costly and the highest class enter
tainers of the course are the Weeks

Pharaoh.s Treasures.

While studying in the British Mu
scum papyrus which was published
1000 years before Christ, an Egyptol.
ogist recently found a clear and con
else account Of the treasures which
the ancient fovereigns OF Egypt buried
in various parts Of the Libyan desert.
and now an expedition is being
formed In London for the purpose OF
searching for this wealth. The nee.
essary funds have already been Sc.
cured and in q short tine few
skilled explorers will start for the
desert, where the technical work VIII
lie prosecuted under the supervision
of Messrs. Lake and Currie, two Eng
lish engineers. The writer OF the
ancient papyrus says that the l'har-
aohs hid an immense quantity OF gold
and precious stones In tho region
which is known by the name OF the
VALLEY OF Kings" and there the first
excavations will be made. The task
will not be easy since the country to
be searched extends over 10000
square leagues.

Unexpected Discoveries from Which

1t often haprens that an ignorant

gum used In England was made from
gum arabic and cost no end Of money.
1t happened one night that big

great puddles Of starch and water

DOUBLE STATEHOOD.

The proposal to admit the four
territories of Oklahoma, Indian
Territory, Arizona and New Mex;-
co as two states is an injustice to
the people of those territories and
to the entire west; and this Unjust
ice is emphasized rather than de-
creased by the fact that the union
of the first two is not unreason-
able.
The Indian territory and Oklah-
oma are compact body of land and
there are evident advantages in
combining the two. since it hardly
seems practicable to create a separ-
ate state out of the Indian terri
tory.
With New Mexico and Arizona
the case is different. These terri
tories are already larger in area
than all but a few of the states.
They have become established as
two separate clusters of population.
They cover such large areas that
their administration as single
state will be difficult. They have
the resources and the population
sufficient to maintain separate state
governments, and they are entitled
to separate statehood by all the
tests that were applied to territor-
ial candidates for a hundred years
of American nationality.
The only valid objection that
can be urged against the separate
admission of Arizona and New
Mexico is that they would give the
west an unfair representation in
the United States senate, and that
objection is not a valid one for the
reason that senatorial representa-.
ton is not and was never intended
to be matter of population, but
was designed to give each territor-
ial element of the nation an equal
share in this part Of the national
government. Congress has al
ready recognized the separate and
individual existence of the people
of New Mexico and Arizona by es-
tablishing separate territorial gov
ernments and it is an injustice to
them and to the people of all the
west to destroy what has been Gre
ated and to fuse them together as
a single political unity.-Pueblo
Chieftain.

Afraid Of Their Shadows

1t must be admitted that there is
in the national capital, among re-
publicans who keep in close touch
with national politics, a doubt as
to the result this year. It is, at
present, a vague and indefinite
feeling of anxiety rather than a
substantial fear. When analyzed,
it seems to consist largely OF the
feeling that the corporate interests
are hostile to President Roosevelt,
and that it will be impossible, there
fore to obtain the necessary funds
for campaign work. Many repub-
licans are wondering if the inhu-
.ence Of the railroads will be thrown
against the republican party this
year, as it was for it in 1896 and
1900. Other republicans are spec
ulating upon the part which the Ia
Dor vote will play in the next cam
paign, and are anxiously inquiring
whether it will be loyal 70 the Re
publican party.-The Forum.
