YOUNG TOWN A MODEL.

Oklahoma City, in Shops and Public
 Buildings, Shows Culture of People.
 If you did not know Its history, you would suppose that Oklahoma City was an old and mature town, for 1t has every appearance of age, culture, wealth and prosperity, writes Wm. E. Curtis in the Chicago Record-Herald. Very few cities of its population have so many fine business blocks, hotels and handsome residences. The city hall. which Is just approaching com pletion, Is not surpassed in architec- tural appearance, conveniences or in any of the features that are desira- ble in public buildings by any similar structure in the United States. There is nothing better in New York or New England, and if you can judge of the taste of the people by the size and the stocks of the retail stores, by the sam- ples of merchandise exhibited in the show windows, by the contents of the bookstores and picture shops, you will recognize at once that you are in highly educated and cultured commun- ity.
 Oklahoma City is what you might call made-to-order town. It was not born young, as one might say. The territory never had a pioneer period. The people did not pass through the log cabin and sod hut stages of growth, like other western cities. The country was all ready for them when they en- tered 1t, and 1t was only necessary for them to build their homes and blow the ground and put in their crops, and most of the settlers had the money to do 1t. That accounts for the mature appearance of everything that you see around you.
 It was also an advantage that many of the leaders of this community had already passed through a pioneer ex- perience in other States. Many of them had come out in prairie schooners to Kansas, Colorado and Texas, and had served an apprenticeship as empire builders in those States, go that they were able to avoid many of the errors and solve more easily the perplexities that always accompany the settlement of a new territory.

To enable heavy wagons to climb q steep hill In Cleveland, Ohio. without any effort on the part of the teams which draw them, an escalator, or moving roadway has been provided. It's length is 420 feet, and is nearly equal to that of two short blocks. The rise effected amounts to slxty-fiye feet. This rolling road, therefore, delivers its load at height equivalent to that of the roof of a five-story building; and in order to do so 1t Is arranged so that It's grade or slope is one foot vertl- cally to every six and a half feet hort zontally. The roadway itself Is eight feet wide. AS the motion Is always in one direction, 1t Is not intended that this device shall assist teams to get down hill again. It Is taken for granted that descent will be accom- pllshed by another route.
 What the limit Is to the capacity of the escalator has not been announced, but 1t is known that at least seven or eight teams can make use of 1t at the
Alaska sentinel., 1905-10-19

same time. From two and a half to three minutes are required for the trip. The speed Is trife less than two miles an hour.
 Outwardly the escalator resembles a treadmill, or oldfas shioned horse power. The floor consists of an endless chain of blanks running crosswIse. However. there Is one great difference between the Cleveland escalator and tread mill. The surface of the former moves upward and not downward, and when once a horse or pair of horses have stepped on to it they remain motion less nDtil they get to the top. They are not obliged to keep traveling in consequence of the receding movement of the surface on which they stand.
 The lower surface of the floor rests on a large number of idle" pulleys, whose duty Is merely to support the burden with little friction. Movement is effected by small number of other pulleys driven by electric mo- tors. The latter together develop more than twice as much power as Is needed to keep the road In operation. In or der to give durability to the roadway the blanks which compose 1t are tipped with metal.

One of the leading papers of the east in discussing the contrast between the thousands of women studying sedu- lously in colleges and swearing and cigaret smoking women in fine clothes" says that the former are "the real feminine arlstocracy of America No one will question the superiority of the sedulous student over the swear ing and cigaret smoking woman. But is there not an implication In the desig- nation of the former as the real feminine aristocracy" which Is a wholesale injustice? There Is no quar- rel to pick with the true college wom- an. She Is all right and the more of them there are the better of the country will be. But what of those that do not have the opportunity that comes to the college woman? Can they. do they. have no place in the real feminine aristocracy of Amer ica?" What of the girl who struggles against diversity during her college years and in spite of obstacles makes her life living, positive force for good in the community of which she Is part? What of the woman. without college educa tion who has devoted her whole time to the matchless task of making 6 home and to the labors of love which are inseparably connected with the home life? What of the woman who rejoices in the sacrifice which she can make in the service of her children and Is content with seeing them honorable and faithful men and women who are doing their part in the worlds work? It Is right that there should be re- jolcing because of academic achieve ment. But let this rejoicing be tenn pered with eason. There are many hearts that are full of regret because they could not do what these others have done-hearts that are just as brave and true and worthy of admira- ton as are these others. They are willing to bear their share of the bur dens of our common life. They will bear them unhinchingiy and success fully. They will make their lives count and the world will be better be- cause of what they do. Their circle of influence may not be so large as that of their college trained sisters, but the influence itself Is just as wholesome and inspiring.

foundation for the evil repute of tho Chagres. The river flows over sand and gravel between steep clay banks, often not exceeding two hundred fset in width, and the water Is rarely tur- bid. As the drainage area Is free from pollution, the water should be of the purest, as 1t Is well aerated, flowing with swift current over many small rapids. In times of rain there is noticeable amount of sediment which Is largely deposited in the lower reaches.
 The floods are very fashy; they come suddenly and are sustained a very short period, declining quickly almost to low water conditions.
 The country along the upper river is thickly wooded, and in many places with a tangled and matted jungle un- dergrowth. through which the Ameri- can parties had to cut roads, often along hills with slopes of forty de grees. From Gamboa to Albajuela, distance of about eleven miles, tho river rises forty-six feet; in the next eleven and a half miles to a point near Santa Barbara, there Is a rise of eighty feet Outside of the villages along the railroad there is only one tiny hamlet, called Cruces, on the banks of the river.
 Navigation on the Upper Chagres is limited to small dugout canoes pushed up stream by men with iron shod poles, but in the dry season there Is scarcely sufficient water for this in places, and, except for deep pools at the eddies, 1t is possible to walk up the river bed for considerable distance.

Various Ideas as to Hades.

"I am writing" said an author, "a monograph on the internal regions as the heather races of the world have at different times imagined them.
 "The internal regions of Buddhism are horrible. They comprise a great hell and 136 lesser hells. In these hells. according to the sculptures of the Buddhist temples, men are ground to powder and their dust turned into ants and feas and spiders. They are pestled in a mortar.

We shudder when we read of the cruel king of antiquity-he reigned In Rome or some other old place-who wrote out his laws, hung them so hig,, nobody could read them, and then se- yerely punished all who violated them. But we haven't improved on his plan very much at that. We enact laws nowadays, print them in few vol tunes which have no general circula- ton, and punish every man, woman or child who violates a law he never heard of. For ignorance of the law is DO excuse. In many instances even the
 lawyers don't know what the law ,s. And the judges only guess at 1t. What makes the Federal Supreme Court su- preme is the important fact that 1t gets the last guess; and we all know that very often that guess Is determined by q majority vote. There is at least one case on record when a justice of tho Supreme Court changed his mind over night. and that change of mind changed the last guess, and conse. Quently the law.

 Tn the Scandinavian mythology, the mythology of Odin and Thor, we are told that in Nastrond there is a vast and direful structure with doors that face the north. It is formed en- tirely of the backs of serpents, wat tied together like wickerwork. But the serpents' heads are turned toward the inside of the hall and they con- tinually send forth floods of venom, In which wade all those who commit murder or forswear themselves.'
 Tn the past the Christian idea of the internal regions was as hldeous as the heather idea, and In their ser mons clergymen loved to describe hell. The present tendency, however, Is to avoid discussion of this place to dwell upon the gentler and more lovely side of Christianity."-Phila- delphia Bulletin.

Because woman went to the White House and announced that she wanted to live there the Washington police haled her of to strong quarters and declared that she was crazy. The de- duction Is not warranted. A good many wonderland a good many men too have had a fancy for living in the White House and nobody deemed them crazy. In the present instance the woman's insanity is probably predi- cated on the circumstance that she sought to achieve her desire without political methods. Anybody who tries to do anything without a pull" Js deemed crazy ipso facto by residents of Washington.
