tion, not very scientifically put here, IL
the basis OF the story remembering
that every object Is supposed to have
keynote, which when struck on mu-
steal instrument evokes responsive vi
bratlons in the said object.
The story goes that many years ago
an old man carrying a fiddle in case
once started across the bridge without
paying toll He was called back by the
tollkeeper. protested his inability to
pay. but was not allowed to cross.
Threatening vengeance. the old fiddler
seated himself on the wharf under the

lighted up, and he began to scrape
steadily on n certain chord. A moan
went through the bridge. Faster play

fairly sang in response to the wild
notes of the fiddle. Furiously the old
fiddle scraped away. and the cables be-

BY this time the tollkeepers saw

A messenger there were no tele-
phones them was dispatched for the
superintendent, and he came running.
The old fiddler was pointed out. and a

but, there being no suspicious person

his head. The bridge was cutting up
all sorts OF capers, swaying back and
forth like swing, until at last the su-

fiddler and promised never to demand
toll from him. An agreement was en-.

TIsHoMlNeo GETS NORMAL.
The Committee in Session Yesterday
SO Agreed-Normal Teachers.


In response to a call issued some
time ago by the Chairman of the Nor
NAL Committee of the Chickasaw
Teachers Association, for a meeting
Of that committee to be held here
yesterday, all members were pres
ent. The purpose OF the meeting was
TO select a place for holding the next
summer normal. for the Chickasaw
Teachers. The committee met yes
terday morning at o'clock at the
High school building with Chairman
H. A. Stanley, superintendent of the
public schools of Madill presiding, w
c. French. superintendent OF the public
schools OF Wynnewood, J. NJ. Osborne,
superintendent of the public schools
of Pauls Valley, T. J. Pierce, super.
Tishomingo, and w H. Evans. super.
intendent of the public schools of Ard
more in attendance. The different
propositions of the towns in the
Chickasaw nation were taken up and
investigated. After n careful consid-
Grafton the committee decided on
Tishomingo as having offered the best
inducement to secure the normal
and will report to the teachers as
sociation, which meets here on the
oath OF this month, recommending
that Tishomingo be selected as the
next place for holding the normal.
The proposition offered by Tishomin-
go was to the effect that the citizens
OF the town would give $3.50 towards
securing the Normal and guarantee
board at $12.50 per month. t
The association is composed of ali
the teachers OF the Chickasaw nation
and at the meeting which will be held
at this place on the gath Of the pres
ent month, all will have a voice in the
locating of the normal. The securing
OF the normal means the presence OF
about two hundred teachers in the
town which secures 1t for little
over two months. Wynnewood secur
ed the normal last year and there
were aver a hundred and sixty teach
ers in attendance all during the ses
sion II was held, and II Is said thert
will easily be two hundred in at
tendance at the coming normal
The two months schooling which
the normal gives tho teacher during
each summer has grown to be r. fac
tor in their success and is growing
more popular at each meeting, as 4
gives the teacher the opportunity o
association with his brother teach
ers, to the result that the differen
methods OF conducting the schoo
rooms and also the school Is dis
cussed. Besides, the conductors cho
sen to conduct the normal are mel

prepare addresses and papers which
are read before the Norman on sub
jects of interest to that body. Studie
and examination are diligently pur
sued, and the teacher comes out o
the normal as fresh of memory a
when they finished college. The tim
for holding the normal has not beel
decided. but 1t will probably be sora
time in June This is left to the dis
cretion OF tho association.

STATEHOOD.

II may not be amiss at this time TO
remind the senate that one OF the OBJ
jects in the creation OF the Dawes
commission was that ultimately state
hood would result from their treating
with the Indians and II was upon this
theory that many white settlers came
TO this territory and made II their
home
When the Indians removed from
east OF the Mississippi to the present
Oklahoma and Indian territories, II
was thought they we're to have a
country little better than a desert, In
deed the old maps showed this coun'
try az lying next to the staked plains
Of Texas, so little was It then known
by the geographers.
Little did our forefathers realize
that, instead OF a desert, this was a
country OF inexhaustible coal and that
valuable zinc and asphalt deposits
underlaid the service. Millions and mil.
lions Of feet Of timber are yet stand.

raj country in the world, and with all
this climate unsurpassed Senator
Dawes remarked, shortly after he
first came among us, 1T is a yerita.
bic garden Of Eden"
The Indians lived here many years
and few were the developments made
by them There were no towns Of any
importance end but little interest was
taken in the territory by the outside
world. Witness the changes in the
last few years. Now there are towns
OF over 10000 inhabitants, having all
the modern conveniences. telegraph,
telephones, electric lights, water
works, churches. schools, newspapers,
etc. Where formerly were bleak prai'
rie or primeval forests now are fine
farms and comfortable homes. Indeed
the change has been almost like mag
lc. and all due to the whites. THESE
changes have had a resultant bena
for the Indians, who now enjoy the
rent from valuable farms, the royalty
on coal. gas or oil developed under
their allotments.
To say that the people who worked
these marvellous changes shall not
have the advantages OF statehood is
an outrage. and II statehood ne de
layed longer the blame should be
laid where it belongs. that is on the
Republican party. the party now ir
power and whose leaders insist or
linking our fate with that of New
Mexico and Arizona in which there
is no community OF interest what
ever.

SENATOR BAILEY.

The senate listened with rapt at
tention to the speech OF Senator
Bailey of Texas. made in answer to
one by Senator Patterson OF Colorado
objecting to the control OF senators
by party caucus. Senator Bailey's
friends declare this speech to be the
strongest OF his career. He complete
ly annihilated his opponent, who
showed himself unworthy Of his
steel. Mr.. Patterson contended, in
the main, that a senator has a right
to follow the dictates OF his conscience
rather than the demands Of his party
in all matters regarding which the
two may conflict.
Mr.. Bailey's reply was baseI upon
the theory that all senators ire under
obligations to obey conscience rather
than caucus, but that when in doing
so they antagonlze their party they
should hold themselves responsible
TO their party. Bailey confessed him
self to be partisan, contending that
the majority In any party must be
permitted to prescribe party policy,
always leaving the individual the
right TO leave n party with which he
aniliates. He suggested IL Patterson
was not willing to follow the dictates
Of the caucus he leave the Democrat
ic party.
Senator Patterson was unfortunate
in that his record showed that he had
been present and participated in the
Democratic caucus in 1903 In which
the rule binding Democratic senators
by a two-thlrd vote Of the caucus had
been adopted.
Patterson II seems has been a very
warm friend and admirer OF Presi
| dent Roosevelt and Bailey expressed
his opinion that the president must
have used very persuasive arguments
| to secure the support OF Mr.. Patter
son, stating that the president coult
roar like a lion and also coo like Q
dove and that he applied honey 10 the
Democrats and waved big stick
over the Republicans. -
