one than one family could afford. On
the top of the pole is gilt ball, or
else basket with something bright
and tinsely in it. And flying from
the pole, in the brisk spring Winds,
is whole string of carp, made Of
oiled paper or cloth, painted in bright
colors and anywhere from five to
some fifteen feet long. Each fish
belongs to some particular boy, and
the carp is chosen because it is a
big, strong fish, and not only can
swim against the most rapid cur
rents, but in its eagerness to get up
stream will leap straight up water
falls.
The gold ball means treasure,
which the carp, leaping and strug-
Cling, bufetted by the wind, is for
ever trying to reach. And the
whole thing means that the boy when
he's a man, will have to battle his
way as the sturdy carp up the river.

TO Keep Young.

Keep in the sunlight; nothing
beautiful or sweet grows or ripens
in the darkness.
Avoid fear in all its varied forms
of expression. 1t is the greatest
enemy Of the human race.
Avoid excesses of all kinds; they
are injurious. The long life must
be temperate, regular one.
Don't live to eat, but eat to live.
Many OF our ills are due to overeat-
ing, to eating the wrong things and
to irregular eating.
Don't allow yourself to think on
your birthday that you are year
older and so much nearer the end.
Never look on the dark side; take
sunny views of everything; a sunny
thought drives the shadows.
Be child; live simply and natural
ly and keep clear Of entangling alli-
ances and complications OF all
kinds.
Cultivate the spirit of contentment;
all discomfort and dissatisfaction
bring age burrows prematurely to the
face.
Form habit Of throwing off be-
fore going to bed at night all the
cares and anxieties of the day
everything which can possibly cause
mental wear and tear or deprive you
Of rest.

we were soon merrily discussing our
experiences in taking various kinds
of falls out of railroad treasures.
"When I arose to go I suggested
that her friends in Chicago might
like to read a little note from her,

jauntily out of bed and dashed off

TPYE THROWN AWAY.
Daily Paper Given a New Dress
Every Day.

The leading paper of London has
a new dress every day. Every
morning before the compositors
commence their daily work a guam
tity of new type is brought into the
place, and the old, which was used
only the day before, is carried on,
and melted over into new. This
has been made possible only by the
invention of a new rotary type-cast-
ing machine, which does. its work so
rapidly and so economically that it
is cheaper to throw the type away
than to distribute it. While this is
practically true of the linotype,
which is in general use in this coun-
try, it has not been the custom here
tofore to throw away the product OF
the individual type machines now on
the market after single use. Most
of these machines provide for the
mechanical distribution of the pieces
and their use over again for a num-
Der of times.
The inventor of this machine is
man named Wicks, and he is not an
engineer by profession, but jour
nalist, and was formerly member
of the gallery staff of The Times. His
original invention has been vastly
improved in the course Of years ex-
perimenting. Before the invention
and perfection of this wheel a type
making machine which could turn
out 5000 types an hour was consid-
cred rapid; the rotary wheel casts
$4,000 with ease and 40 per cent.
more cheaply than the old machines
All the calculations, and they are Pc
culiarly complicated, since, to COM
ply with the traditions Of printing
the unit is 1-72 part of an inch, are
carried out to six places of decimals
and the men who grind the punches
or make the wheels work to 10000
of an inch. The care taken and the
quality of the machinery employed
may be guaged by the fact that the
little punch-cutting machines, which
each cast nearly 5000 are bedded
to avoid vibration, on depth of six
teen feet Of concrete. which in its
turn is laid on oak piles five feet
long.

PERSONAL INJURY GRAFTERs
A Railroad Detectives Work in
Damage Suits. -

The chief detective of a great
Southern railway system had ad-
journed to the smoking compart-
ment Of the Pullman for final
cigar before he climbed into his up
per berth. He had just finished a
JOB of clever sleuthing and was in a
taikative mood, which quickly
brought the half dozen other smok-
ers to attention:
"I suppose in the beginning was
supplied with as much confidence in
human nature as the average man"
he. began, as he settled back into the
cushions and put his feet on chair,
''but after spending twenty years in
finding out just how much the truth
is stretched every time somebody
sues the company for damages for
personal injuries there isn't much
left for it.
"I hadn't been wearing railroad
gunshoes very long before I was
turned loose on a case where Six
teen year old boy wanted 100000
damages because he was deaf and
dumb as the result of a railroad
wreck.
"I worked on the case for two
years, during which time the suit was
postponed from one term Of court to
another, until finally it had to be
tried. The sum total of all my
knowledge was that the boy hadn't
spoken nor apparently heard word
for two years.
"On the morning of the trial I
advised the company's lawyers to
settle for $4,000, which they offered
to do. The plaintiffs counsel refused
the offer, SO the case was called.
"The evidence was, so completely
one-sided that. the case would GER
tainly have been finished and gone.

/ had an idea. I thought that if we
Rad one more day something might
turn up to US. I conferred with the
company's lawyer, and at about the
hour when the case was ready for
the jury our leading attorney was
taken suddenly ILL., The judge had
no alternative but to adjourn court
until the next day.
That night I went 20 the plain
tif's counsel and explained that we
were ready to settle but wanted to
make a physical examination of the
boy first. He had no objections, so
we rented room in the local hospi-
tai and took the boy there.
eve put him upon an operating
table around which were gathered
four white coated, white whiskered
men, alleged to be eminent surgeons,
but in reality the company's lawyers.
"After barring the youths bosom
over the heart, the chief surgeon
grabbed an ugly looking knife, and
solemnly said:
Brethren, there is just about one
chance in hundred that the pa
tient will survive this operation. Are
you willing to take the chance?
"'We are answered the others.
"The words were hardly spoken
before the boy let out yell, and
cried. For Gods sake, don't kill
me
"Then he snapped his jaws togeth-
er and became dumb again, but the
few words he had said were mighty
costly for him, for his lawyers i'm
mediately threw up the sponge and
asked for the dismissal of the case
the next morning"
Then the detective relighted his
cigar, and remarked that he always
had more trouble getting the truth
cut of woman than a man.
"A few years ago a Buffalo wo-
man. who was known to us as a
member of a fake injury syndicate,

to Chickasha were considered.
The object Of the nee ing was to
discuss the question Of sending

has been trained up which leaves
Chickasha out as court town. The
lawyers were unanimously ofthe
opinion that if Chickgsha is to get
a court something must be done
Immediately.
Nearly the entire bar was pres

tion, a resolutionwas unanimously
passed recommending that Col,
Geo. w. Barefoot be sent to Wash
ington to stay as long as necessary
end work for statehood and the lo-
cal interests Of Chickasha. II was
agreed by all that Col. Barefoot
could accomplish more than any
other man who could be sent.
A committee was appointed TO
solicit funds to pay the expense of
sending a representative and also
to confer with the commercial club
on the same proposition. Alger

The Movement. Conditions in Indian
Territory are Intolerable

Senator Bailey has written Judge
Stewart Of South McAlester let
ter i'll which he says:
The right Of the people now re-
siding in Oklahoma and Indian
Territory to a government Of their
own is so.plain aud the reason for
the admission Of both territories as
a state or states into the union is
so strong that I do not believe that
congress can or will longer resist
" and it is my opinion that a
statehood bill will be passed be-
fore the next session Of congress-
adjourns.
AS you know have believed
from the beginning that each terri
tory, being now a political Guilty IS
entitled to admission as a separate
state, and as I have told you more
than once, the admission Of each
territory as q state could have bsen
accomplished if the people in both
had made it manifest to congress
that such was their earnest desire.
While M opinion OH The merits
Of he question has undergone no
change, | do not believe that there
IS any very reasonable hope OF
making two states out Of these two
territories and the effect Of such ag-
itatlcn as this ifit had any effect at
all, would be to delay statehood.
The friends Of separate statehood

rights, and for two years they
