HOW IT ORIGINATED.
Case Was Appealed From the Court Of
Civil Appeals.

Washington. March 2i.-The contro-
versy relative to the school land mat
ter Of Greer county which the supreme
court Monday In an opinion handed
down by Justice Holmes. decided In
favor OF Texas. arose out Of the fact
that the territory Included IN Greer
county formerly was considered as
within the territorial limits Of Texas
and while the county was thus counted
four leagues Of land lying IN Hockey
and Cochran counties. Texus were pat
ented 10 the county under the laws OF
Texas for school purposes.
when the supreme court decided in
1896 that Greer county was no part Of
Texas and the county became a part
Of oklahoma. Texas instituted proceed
ings IN the courts ~ that state % re-
cover that land. and the decisions were
favorable 10 the state. The case came
20 the supreme court from the court of
civil appeals from the district court Of
the state. and that courts decision was

MIRACLE PROVES EASY.
One Cure at Shrine at Least Has Prac-
 ticai Il1ustratiou.
And they did.

tical Illustration.
 Stories of the miraculous perform ances in which Father Ignatius, at Llanthony, Wales, has raised the dead to life recall the sensa ton of a few years ago at Mock. In Ireland. where In certain church shrine was SUD- posed to have restored the halt, the lame, and even the blind.
 At the time Dr. Oscar A. King of the faculty of the College of Physi. clans and Surgeons was travelling In Ireland. and he made It a point to look into some of the stories of marvellous cures.
 "One of these cases was Of a boy about T. years old, who had been cured of a tumor in the trachea, or wind pipe" said the doctor. recalling the e1- perience. According to the stories current the boy had been affected since birth and the tumor had been declared inoperable. Yet he had gone to the church and had been cured In an In. stant.
 Well. I went down to the place and found the young man. who repeated the story In detail. Then I went to the surgeons who had examined him and who had given up his case as hope less. The report of the surgeons was that since infancy the child had been troubled by a tubercle in the windpipe, the thing being about the size of pea and attached to the wall of the trachea by threadlike fiber. The parents of the child were indifferent about the op. eration at best, while in the one trial of the physicians to remove the ob- struction the boy had fought them all of.
 The miracles of Mock had aroused the interest of the parents, however, and the boy had been sent down there to the shrine. At that time the faith. full were going i'll hundreds to the church. and 1t was being torn to pieces by relic hunters, who desired souvenirs of their visit. That afternoon the plas. tering on the walls was suffering, and at the moment of the boys entering the building was full ot lime dust and sand. AS he stepped inside he stran- gled on the dust, was seized with a violent fit of coughing. and in the par. oxysm the tuberce was coughed up and out and away.
 Yet, seriously enough. the boy had been cured at the shrlne!'

Had Adam known that his rib was to be taken and turned into a woman, would he have consented? It Is ques- ton raised by woman at a Cleve- land missionary society meeting and left open to conflicting opinion. The woma n of today. like Pandora of old. is bound to pry into things and turn loose upon the world a lot of troubles. That stolen rib of Adams was sup posed to be d closed incident. The borrowed member was long since re- stored to men. For countless genera. tions he has had the rib as well as the woman close to his heart. Man wasn't worrying over the rib affair at all. He had all but forgotten 1t. But woman, womanlike, must of course. prod him out of his complacent forgetfulness and demand that he tell her whether or not he Is sorry that she is in exist ence. Adam has left no evidence of his feeling on the subject, and we can only guess at this late date whether he would willingly have exchanged rib for a woman or not. You may guess either way and feel confident that your position can not be dis proved. But this much may be said with certainty. Adam would have been at a disadvantage. He would have been trading In the dark. It would have been impossible for him to comprehend In advance what a woman would be like. Indeed. even to day. man can't make her out, and doesn't una nimously know whether she is good thing or not. So Adam might very reasonably have baked at giving up one of his royal good, sound ribs that he could not very well spare, for pig In poke" that might prove an intolerable nuisance to him. But, after all, the profitable and vital ques- ton at this late time Is not as to what Adam In his ignorance might have done had choice been his, but what the man of to-day Is willing to give up in exchange for woman and the fullness of her blessings. To-day, as in Ada ms time, man must sacrifice in order to be worthy of and to win the ITCH lTedsures ol "oIna huoou' hah lo- day, as always. must supply the ma terial to make the woman who Is real ly his own. She Is more exacting now than she was. She requires more than rib. It may be temper he must curb, a disposition he must train, hab- its he must conquer. appetites he must restrain. pet vices he must give up. to cultivate the love ana faith and trust and sympathy that make woman truly his.
