that there are two of them in the Creek Nation and one in the Choctaw Nation. just east of the little mountain town of Bristow. Not many miles near a can. bob cat. and this Is the den of a Gila Monster of the far west. He has been seen by the Indians for several years. but as 1t was harmless the Indians have and then some of the Indians visits this wild canyon to get a peep at the great Lizzard. as they call 1t. It Is said by the Indians that when the crit the whistle of buck deer. Again there dwells another a few miles of Weleetka in the Forest Mountains. This one is not as large as the Bristow Gila Monster, the one near Bristow being almost ten inches across the back and some four feet long, Tho third one Is said to be a very large one. The lat ter one lives in the mountains of Sans seen several times. In which knob he lives in we are unable to locate. but there Is a wild lake In the top of one of these mountains which has fine fish is cliff which is a home for this mon ster. There Is one very high peak called Fuckers Knob. This, If we mis. take not. Is where the lake and home of ing hole for the panther and black bear and the Choctaw hunter never goes to this pinnacle alone. They make their visits in twos or more as the Choc- taws are very superstitious about this animal and hold 1t as a very sacred spot of ground. It is said that 1t is also the home of the Hokpe Fusker or Sharp Brash. This is an animal half snake and half bird. 1t being in length 20 feet and as large around the body as a large man and is the most powerful thing in existence. It lives in the highest peaks. is harmless. but Is very strong and in, moving about will not turn from its course, even though there be rock in It's way. It will move or split open a rock and when 1t comes in contact with a double tree 1t will split them In twain and go on always going on a straight line. The tracks of this creature has been seen up and down the Sans Bois mountains. It leaves ditch in its wake like a deep low trail and always a straight line. Not long ago a couple of Choctaw hunters climed up to the top of one of those knobs and enroute saw the trail of the Hokpe Fusker and were well paid for their climb by getting a good look at the Gila Monster stunning his body of six feet on a large rock.

The Boston Herald hits 1t off about right when 1t says that most Congress- men favor economy when the body Is not in session. but when 1t is in session they are apt to think the country can afford to have anything 1t wants" That is the human nature of 1t. While away from and not influenced by each other the members can reflect coolly on the conditions and needs of the treas ury and feel that expenses must be re- duced in some way, but when they get together each man. as a general propo- sition, wants to get as much as any other does. and each Is apt to think that what he wants will not embarrass the Government. That seems to be the reason retrenchment is so hard to carry out, though all can see the need of it.

TWO GOOD DECISIONS.

The offence of picketing. as 1t is practiced in almost every strike. has had two recent court decisions against it. both of which are sound and just The first Is from a New York decision, in which this language is used:
 A wayfarer upon the public streets should be free for peaceful travel. Nc man against my will has the legal right to occupy the public street to ar yess ps or is pos or me sene his insistence. There may be no in- tmidation. and yet an interruption of peaceful travel There may be annoy ance without danger.
 Recently In a case decided in San Francisco. the judge who delivered the opinion held that "the threat of a boy colt to prevent any person from deal ing with another, is a form of intimi- dation and hence unlawful. He recog- nized the right of employees to strike and to peacefully induce other men not to take the places vacated, provided there be no threats. coercion, violence or other interference with tho rights of individuals" and while he did not de- clare that all forms of pieketing are unlawful, he said:
 The presence of a man outside the walls of a large factory might not be any disturbance of any ones peace or any annoyance or any nuisance. while the constant presence of one man. ad- vertising his purpose outside the door of a retail store or a restaurant might constitute a most serious and potent private nuisance, as the term Is un- derstood in law.
 Thus we see the courts of the country in widely separated sections are com ing to the defence of the man who wants to work for a living or to carry on his own business in his own way without interfering with others or be- ing interfered with by them. When the keeper of restaurant or other business finds men posted around his house to keep out customers lie would be justified in using force in self pro- tection, but 1t Is better if he can rely on the law to punish those who delib- erately set out to rob him of the means of making living. These decisions should be followed by the courts every where so that law-breakers may be taught that the rights and privileges of citizens cannot be taken from them by force or intimidation.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

Much has been said and written on the subject of forests as protectors and a recent article in The Kansas City Journal is to the point. Some years ago a forestry station was established at Dodge City. In Western Kansas, which has supplied the farmers with several millions of young trees. In The Journal of Sunday Representative Bee son said:
 There has been wonderful change in climatic conditions of Western Kan sas. I can remember when the bliz- zards from the north in the winter would kill cattle by the thousands and burn up crops and pastures in the sum- mer. We got caught coming and go- ing. Now we are not bothered with either The trees D, break the n biiz5ards The saving to the farmers in cattle alone runs into the thousands Of dol. lars. And as for crops. we haven't known of a failure since the trees got big enough to do business.
 Here seems to be unimpeachable tes- timony to show that three highly inn portant objects have been attained by the easy and simple process of tree planting. on a large scale, 1t is true. but they have done nothing that can not be done elsewhere. The protec- tion of cattle from the fierce blizzards that so often prevail in that region is a matter of profit. as Mir. Beeson says. for the saving Is counted by thousands of dollars. Then the same means serves to keep of or break the force of the sirocco-Iike winds which dry up all vegetation and thus deprive cat tie of their food.
 But perhaps the most important item fin this statement Is that this artificial forest has brought moisture so that there is no failure of crops. This is a point of such importance to all the country that it can hardly be over-es- timated. It is coming to be a settled truth that deforestation brings droughts. and that forests induce rains Kansas Is taking the right steps to benefit both agriculture and cattle raIsing. ~

JUSTICE IN THE SOUTH.
High Compliment to Administration of
 Justice Here.

Editorial in Golfers Weekly.
 Members of the mob at Huntsville, Ala. applied to Judge Jones. of the United States District Court, for dis charge, on a writ of habeas corpus, from custody on indictments found against them in a case which attract ed much attention at the time. Judge Jones denied the application. and at the last session of the Alabama State Bar Association read a paper on the general topic. He holds that the Superior Court has never decided, as has commonly been supposed, that Con gress has no power to protect citizens of the United States in cases of the kind brought up by this mob violence. Of course. jury trials depend in their outcome not on State but on county sentiment. Judge Jones was Con- federate soldier, and the fact that his construction of the Constitution Is un- affected by public opinion in his i'm mediate environment Is to the honor of the bench. We are not at present discussing the technical arguments in volved, but merely rejoicing in the ad- vance which we believe is being made, North and South. away from sectional bias, toward a broad and Independent view both of the laws we have and of the laws we need.

 The Board of Health. the doctors and the newspapers of Montgomery are united in the determination to deal fairly and openly with the people. It may be that, in Gods providence, we will have yellow fever here, but If we ho the people will know 1t just as soon us the fact is known to those whose duty it is to look after the city's health. There will be no nest hiding sn this respect, unless some infected person gets into the city and so com pietely loses himself that the authori- ties cannot find him. and that Is hardly within the limits of possibility.

The attempt of some specialist, or crank to fix limit of sleep which shall apply to all alike is as absurd as it would be to fix an exact ration for each human being to eat. That Napoleon existed and performed his wonderful life work with only three or four hours of sleep each day Is no evidence that all other men could do likewise. or that the limit he set for himself could be adopted by all others. We think 1t very likely that all who work with hand or brain get little enough sleep ana rest, but we know that some per sons require more than others. In this, as in diet, 1t must be largely left to each individual to indulge in the sleep or food that nature requires.
