FURMAN ON
STATEHOOD
THE BRILLIANT LAWYER EXPOSES
THE PALACES OF THE NO
STATERS AND
BOLDLY TAKES UP sUDGEL
Against Corporate Influence Seeking to
Dominate the New State

If anybody ever questioned the
quality Of Indian Territory citizen
ship, if it was ever doubted that we
have men Of brain, courage and con
victions, the peers of any in the ma
ton, men qualified to lay the found
alton and erect the superstructure
Of a great commonwealth, these
doubts should be dispelled by com
ing in contract with and listening
to the words of a man like Henry
NJ. Furman.
Upon invitation Of the State
hood Day committee. Mr.. Furman
left his court duties at Ada and
came TO Chickasha to address the
people on the issue of paramount
interest to the people Of The terri
tory, statehood.
Mr.. Furman is wonderfully
gifted as an orator. Forceful in
manner quick witted, with fine
sense Of humor, and a broad grasp
of the question, which he discusses,
he goes to the bottom of evey
issue, AMI in the p!ainest language
earnestly and fearlessly brings
home the truth. He is man Of
the people, a democrat in the tru-
est sense of the term and his mes
sago never fails to hit the mark
carrying conviction.
In his opening remarksMr Furman
congratulated the people of Chick
asha on the marvellous evidences of
growth and prosperity seen here.
Seven years ago when l was last
inyour city, said he, there were
but two brick buildings besides
the court house in your city and
today'I I see blocks Of buildings that
would be credit to any city. "
He also paid some pretty compli-

Taking up the statehood ques
ton, the speaker said he felt con
ident that we would get statehood
in the near future and he felt hope
ful that Congress would make one
state Of the two territories at ths
next session. MI. Furman admit
ted that he was prejudiced againsi
Oklahoma when he came to the
territory in 1895 and III 1900 he
went to Washington as chairman
of the delegation sent to work Sol
separate statehood. A months stay
in the capital however, convinced
him that he was up against hard
proposition He cam= home a
single statehood man. The speak
er then proceed to give reasons fol
the ia tn within him.
Separate statehood was impossi-
bic. Congress had never intended
to make state Of Indian Territory.
1t was the fixed policy Of the gov
eminent to make one state. The
treaties with the Indians which the
separate state advocates make so
muck noise about must be constru-
ed according to law. The govern
ment had never treated with the
Indians collectively but as tribes
and if the letter Of the treaties was
to befolIowed, a separate state must
be made of each The only sens
ible construction Of the treaties
was that it was intended to make
one state of the original Indian
Territory which included Okla
homa. The speaker showed further
that Congress as late as 1899 in
the act defining the jurisdiction Of
the federal court established at
Muskogee, recognized the Okla
homa as being included in the
boundaries Of Indian Territory.
The people Of Oklahoma were
very much the same class of the
of people as those of Indian Terri
tory There were differences of
opinion among them, but "It is
the clash of opinion that brings
out the truth" Taking up the
statement OF Chief Porter, the faith.

{ Haskell was the wet nurse) that
the Indians alone had the right tc
ask for statehood and make the
constitution, Mr.. Furman com.

The Daughters of the American
 Revolution, in order to mark point
 of historic interest, set up large
 powder, bearing a bronze tablet The inscription, by the way, was in stock
 lettering, which costs less than half as
 much as lettering designed for the special purpose, and has very neat
 andbusiness-like look, as though it were the product of sort of gigantic typewriter.
 In the meantime further decorative planting was undertaken. A weeping beech, three purple barberries, four golden elders, a Colorado blue spruce, several assorted conifers, six hydran-
 geas and some good plants of native
 rhododendron, were set out. The pur-
 pie barberries and the golden eldes
 were grouped together (because they
 always do go together, you know), and
 pleasant open locations were selected
 for the others, where they could be
 readily seen. The local florist was an
 active and public spirited member of
 the Improvement association, and he i, has maintined for four years at his own expense, in the middle of the slope
 above the pondlet, a star and a cres-
 cent and a Maltese cross in bulbs, fol-
 lowed by summer bedding plants. Now what is the net result of all this
 establishment? The bit of rich infor- I mai gardenesque treatment round the lily pond looks lonely and i'll at ease in it's simple and severe surroundings: the speciemns of ornamental shrubs and trees dotted here and there are in- dlVidually interesting but inconsequen- tlal; the delicate and almost hyper-re- hned Italian fountain and the D. A, R. l powder stare each other out of coun-
 tenance, and the old common, which I forms the framework and background
 for all this decoration, is quite bewil-
 dered and befuddled. Its quiet open spaces are frittered away with decora.
 tions, the simplicity of it's plain short cut paths is at odds with the newer in- troductions, it's old character is shat

 recognized, but series of samples | suggesting half a dozen different char
 acters, any one of which might, with o~N SAASSh3 M EAfClA to LuS IFdCIs
 none of which has been.
 The only safe procedure, when one goes single step beyond the neat and
 orderly provision for generally recog-
 nized practical necessities of the will
 lage, is to look fairly and squarely into the future, to adopt a definite and
 comprehensive plan and policy, and never to undertake or accept a project of improvement without earnestly and
 deliberately comparing it's probable re- suits with the aims of the general
 plan. However wise and comprehen- sive they may be. such general plans
 must from time to time be modified.

 Presently conscious that her mind was fully made up"she turned to re- spond 10 Herman Norton's brainy ti- tle-tattle on art and books, thinking to herself that he was good civilian copy of his military cousin.
 Presently the boom of the dinner gong sounded across the sward. Col oneI AshmOre shook his limbs as he got up from his seat, remarkinig: How well you draw, Miss Amos! that's capital castle" That's not a castle, you duffer, g laughed Herman, ais he offered to re- lieve Colonel Ashnore of Evelyn's sketch. That's the large hotel on the hill at Evian les Rains over wonder" 'Oh. I thought it was the castle of Chiffon. I wondered at it having raised itself to such an exalted posi- tion so many miles above the level of the lake or sea-
 Laughingly they made their way to- ward the Beau Rivage, mutually pleased with their individual selves. Herman Norton wondered how it was [ that Eustace had not spoken much in praise of this handsome and clever girl. He was himself quite in a fair way to succunGb to her Vaccinations. Evelyn was telling herself that it was natural that Eustaee should wish her to be en rapport with his relatives; never in her life had she felt so hap py and so much at peace.
 As they entered the hotel and mounted the parapet they were joined by some one else. A vision in a white frock, blue sash. curly dark hair, a neg retrousse, and laughing brown eyes. You truants, you, will be dreadfully late for dinner. Oh, you've found Ev- elyn, have you?" The brown-eyed girl made a dart at her blue-eyed friend and demonstratively embraced her.
 ''Barbara!"
 Miss Amos was genuinely surprised.
 Who ever expected to see you here of all people in the world? Is it really Barbara, or her astral body?"
 ''I' am no astral body, Evelyn, but very much live. Are you not surprised to see Eustace?"
 Indeed I was"
 Colonel Ashmere had descended the steps. Now Miss Evelyn turned away to hide her tell-tale countenance, which she feared might reveal to Bar bara the joy she felt in meeting her old admirer again.
 L'amour ne SC commando pas.
 ''Of course he has told you?" and Barbara scampered down the stairs, following in the wake of the colonel.
 Told me what?" and Evelyn looked toward Herman Norton inquiringly.
 q suppose she meant my cousins marriage, but, of course, you know he was married a year ago?"
 Married! Married!'
 There was a pause.
 And whom has he marrled?"

and healthy diet. Give him the oppor- tunities of civilization and he will gorge himself with indigestible conbi- nations, selected at random from among the endless number of things that individually please his palate. The civilized man may be equally fond of the same things. but when he wants a good dinner he resolutely rejects nine tenths of the things which please him on the bill of fare, for the sake of ade- quately enjoying what he elects 10 have at that particular place and time.
 What village inprOvers seem often to forget is that their selections from the bill of fare are not for day only, but for many years. and must be con sidered in relation to the selections of the past and of the future for the locality in which they are to occur.
 will it be beautiful?" should be asked as to any proposition for im- provement, but it is not by any means the first question to be asked. ''Is it in purpose and tendency aiming in the direction we have deliberately chos- en?" "Is it appropriate to that par ticular kind of common, park. street, dooryard or township, which we can reasonably look forward to having during the period in which the im- provtment will be effective?" These are often hard to answer, but real inn provements are not made easily and thoughtlessly. Time, effort and mon- ey expended on embellishments. with out painstaking thought as to their ul- innate result, are apt to be worse than wasted, while wise forethought as to purposes and tendencies may so shape the simplest utilitarian necessities of a village as to give it the beauty of con- sistency, harmony and truth.-Freder- ick Law Olmsted in the Atlantic Monthly.

and not the beauties of the drama tist's text. Yet the modern expon- ent of facetiousness seems too often
 to regard these exerescences on the Shakespearian humor as humorous in
 themselves, and makes them the mo-
 del of his wit" How he loves to
 make poor word run the gantlet til it is ready to drop" as Lamb says,
 hunting and winding 1t through all the possible ambages of. similar sounds, squeezing and hauling and
 tuggng at it till the very milk of it
 will not yield a drop further"
 The best way to treat the man who
 puns in or out of season is to follow the example of Lord Brampton with
 the country squire, as duly recorded in the "Reminiscences of Sir Henry Flaw kins" The squire was an incessant
 punster, and named his horses on face tious principles. He introduced his companion, the Judge, to three of the animals in uccession-"S "Saltfish," so called because she was such a capital
 mare for a fast day." Naples" be-
 cause she was such a beautiful bay,
 and Morning Star" because she was
 roarer! Sir Henry maintained a blank impassiyity of countenance, and pretended in each case, for reasons of his own, not to see the joke, and successfully infuriated his facetious
 host, who thought his guest an utter fool. The same method, of blank un- intelligence may be used with effect against punsters and facetious per
 sons in general. Another painful
 form of facetiousness which is now, happily, pretty well out of date, is the
 so-ealled practical joke. It was a form of fooiery regarded with consid- erahle favor long ago, it has had its day. True humor is never ill natured;
 but it would be difficult to find any form of the practical joke which is en- tirely free from i'll nature.
 Perhaps the most. depressing experi- ence of all with regard to things, facetious is to be found in professed jestbooks Such volumes have abounded throughout the ages, and how drearily those of a bygone day read at the present time! The Joe Millers of each succeeding period have copied freely from one another. The number of original stories to be found
 in such compilations is small, though
 they are tricked but in many disguises;
 and, although the student and the
 folk lorist may find 8 scientific inter- est in tracing the migrations of pop
 ular tales and hoary jests, yet any one
 who turns to such collections for their facetiousness will find them very flat
 reading. The ancestry of popular facetious tales and jests, and their migrations from one land and one lan- guage to another are indeed well worth tracing. Something has already been done in this direction: but there is plenty of room for fresh Investigators.
 They will possibly be surprised to find
 that many jests and tales which have
 a very modern sound are as old as the hills; and again, that a large number
 which seem to be racy. of our English soil are immigrants from distant lands,
 not a few having reached us by diverse and roundabout routes from the Far East.-LondonGA Globe.

 It was important that having prom- Iised that having promised to kill the. Ilion they should do so, for that is the secret of the white mans power over Ithe native-never to break his word. So they set off to the thick bush half mile away, whither the lions tracks led them. There they came upon him with one bullet, that entered the right |nostril. This was what big game hunters consider a good kill, as the bullet did not disfigure the lion nor iniure his skin, Near by was the
