Tennis PIny In Bathing Suits the

Playing tennis In bathing suits is the

cial dispatch TO the New York Globe.
1t has been evolved on that beautiful
open beach down below the Chelsea
cottage colony. The girls down that
way have a tennis court carefully
marked out up high on the beach.
where the sand lies damp and well
packed, and there they combine the
pleasures of the surf with the exercise
of the fascinating inland game.
1t is conceded that at no other resort
does woman develop such extreme and
curious fads as she does at Atlantic
City, and no one can tell how these
fancies originate. Just now the board
walk fad is for the ugllest, huge, amber
colored knobs obtainable to be worn az

balls. These appear in all kinds Of

HOrNR Talk.

INote-The Bide-a-Wee society proposes
to furnish free straw l~ets and free drinks
to all working horses which apply.l
That suits us. See?
And here's our best to the Bide-a-Wee!
It's mighty hard lines on n decent boss
That works all day a-bearing his cross,
Nor ever complaining nor going on strike
Nor scrapping about what he doesn't like
To have to suffer a long, long dry
With his head unprotected from 4 broiling
high
And to keep on trot to get his work done
With his head unprotected from a broil-
ing sun.
So when we see
The Bide-a-Wee
Or anybody else
Doing such deeds of charity
The horse is with them on the spot
To give them all the pull he's got.
And we whinny our thanks to them and
say
They're acting in Christian way.
For a horse must look to the kind above
For little share of human love,
Which. if they choose to disregard,
He's up against 1t mighty hard.
He is indeed!

Statehood Bill Quill

Dec. -, 1905, golden eagle soaring
high in the clear, crisp air of western
Oklahoma descended on the ranch OF
farmer seven miles northwest Of
| Woodward and was caught by both
| feet separately in two steel traps that
had been set for coyotes, says Il Guth-
RE (Okla.) correspondent of the Kansas
City Star. From the wing of this
eagle was taken the quill with which
President Roosevelt signed "ROose-
velt' to the bill giving statehood to
Oklahoma and Indian territories. The
body of this eagle, which died after a
period of captivity, was mounted by
Professor George Stevens Of the North
western Normal school in Alva and
will be preserved for historical pur-
poses under the name "Old Statehood

d. p Marum of Woodward. one of
the earliest and most loyal supporters
of Joint statehood, suggested to Hunter
that, inasmuch as Oklahoma originally
was an Indian country and as the
eagle was sacred to the Indian and
also the national emblem Of the United
States, quill fr9m the wing of a live
Oklahoma eagle would make an appro-

the Suggestions, but did not know where

found two eagles in Nails cage. the
new one being a large golden eagle

vering that from the beginning ne pre-
dicted for the studious lad an illustri-
Gus career All great men are not dull
boys, and early promise is sometimes
fulfilled.
Before he had attained his majority
Marconi was experimenting with what
is known as the HertZian electric wave
theory. He made his great discovery
of wireless telegraphy and came of
age the same year. In 1902, after he
had startled the world by sending
aerial messages across the ocean, he
said of this early triumph:
THE greatest success 1 ever accom-
plished was when l succeeded in send
ing a faint signal across a room in my
fathers house seven years ago. That
was an elemental success. Everything
1 have done since that has depended
upon that first struggle
Everything usually does depend on
a first struggle; also OH subsequent
struggles. The only way to win vic
tory is to fight. The only way to reach
the top of a mountain is to climb. The
only way to do things is to work. Edi-
worker" If he had not been a work
er the marconigram would be known
by some other name.
Discovered Use of Vertical Wires.
After that initial triumph the young
scientist made other experiments in
Italy, Professor Right assisting, until
the modern system of wireless telegra-
phy was worked out For one thing
Mr.. Marconi discovered the use of the
vertical wire He found that the first
essential factor for sending messages
through the air is height Further, he
determined the law that the distance
to which the message can be sent in
creases In geometrical ratio with the
elevation. With this principle estab-
lished he believed that 1t would be pos
sible to telegraph across seas, even
around the world itself All that was
required were poles of sufficient height.
The fat head and conservative scoffed.
They always do. Nothing was ever
proposed to benefit the world but what
some intellectual owl hooted, 'Impos-
sibler'
For one thing. they objected that the
various messages would interfere with
each other as their paths crossed and
that the atmosphere would become
chaos of conflicting Geographic waves.
Then they said that every instrument
would be affected by each message sent
out. As for wireless messages across
the ocean preposterous, the dream

She did watch him as he enthusiastic
