1t is pleasing to note that those who
are taking the stock in the series of the
building and loan association o be-
ing subscribed are mostly men who de-
sire to either pay for or to construct a
home. Those are the kind of borrow
ers who do the association and the
community the most good, and such
people cannot do better than to get
their money from this source. In this
manner they can pay for their homes
on easy monthly payments and they
will find that 1t will cost them only a
trile more than rent.

1t is said that the veterans in the
army are getting mighty jealous of the
young men who are receiving promo
lions at the hands of the president.
Well, let the veterans get a move on
themselves and show they have better
qualifications than the young officers.
1t is a question of survival of the fit
test. Keen competition will not injhre

Among the bills introduced to more

al amendment constituting the chair
men of the boards of commissioners of
the several counties the state board OF
equalization. 1t is hard to get an
amendment to the state constitution
under any circumstances, and it is not
probable that even 70" this purpose a
majority of the people voting would
take sufficient interest to pass upon the
question. There is much argument in
favor of the change, Men of sufficient
prominence in their counties to be Sc
lected chairmen of county boards are
certainly qualified to act in the broad

quently one of the knights of the rail
risks his own life to Ia others and at
times they pass into the shadow well
knowing that they are making the
great sacrifice at the call Of duty and
for the sake OF humanity. There was
an explosion on the Northwestern fast
mail. The force threw the engineer
and fireman from their seats and hiss
ing steam drove them from the cab,
All efforts on the part of the engineer
to reach the throttle were in vain. As
a last resort he climbed over the ten

door, where he was confronted by the
messenger with two drawn revolyers.
He staggered into the car, pulled the

The letter Of Hon. Leroy Grant to
the house of representatives is a very
strong presentation CT the eQualiza.
ton boards side of the case. 1t shows
clearly and conclusively just what his
grounds were for fixing the valuation
of railroad property. Incidentally, Mr.
Grants letter also shows the necessity
of a better law for the levy and assess
ment of taxes. Wyoming needs n law
that will come a great deal nearer
equity and justice. The railroads are
not the only class of property that
Toes not pay equal share of the burden.
1t has been suggested that some Moses
take this matter in hand and evolve
a measure that will bring all taxpayers
more nearly to a common level. 1t will
take a genius to perform the work.

AUsTRIA's EMPEROR JUsEPH.

Emperor Francis Joseph of Aus
tria- Hungary, was born August IS,
1880. He is the longest reigning
monarch of the world, having sue
ceeded to the throne in 1S4S, at the
age of is. He came to the throne
through the abdication of his uncle,
Ferdinand l., in the midst of a revo-
luton that threatened the foundation
of the monarchy. On coming into
power Francis Joseph promulgated
a new constitution, but the course of
events caused him later to return to
a reactionary policy and for many
years he ruled as despotic mon
arch.
His has been a troublous reign. In
addition 20 a serious rebellion in
Hungary he has, in his long career,
been Obliged to engage in war with
France. Italy and Prussia, in which
his country has suffered the loss of
much territory. 1t has been said
that the venerable emperor is the
most tragic among living sovereigns.
The three greatest personal disasters
that have darkened his life were the
execution of his brother, Maximilion,
in 1861. whom Napoleon III. sought
to establish as emperor of Mexico;
the suicide, in 1889, of his only son
and heir, Prince Rudolph; and, last
ly, the assassination. in 1898, of his
wife, the Empress Elizabeth.

PEACHES IN OKLAHOMA.

No citizen of Oklahoma in one year
ever earned more money on a singla
acre of ground than has been earned
this year by Charles Scheihing, a
German farmer, living five miles
south of Guthrie, Scheihlng owns a
small Elberta peach orchard, in
which the trees are at the age of max
imum bearing.
In one acre of Scheihing's orchard
are sixty large, thrifty trees. From
these trees he has picked and ship
ped to market 1900 crates OF ehoise
peaches, for which he was paid $3.50
a crate. Three crates make a bushel
or a total of 400 bushels for the
acre. Schiehing is confident that he
will make a net profit of not less
than 81 a crate or a net profit of
$1,000 on this single acre of peaches.
At the lowest he believes that his net
profit will be $1,000.
The maximum bearing If his trees,
the fine quality of his peaches and
his finding a high market, three
things that might not happen in any
other year. are responsible, of course,
for Scheihing's good luck. Peach
growers in Oklahoma do not expect
such remarkable returns, but Scheih-
ing's acre shows that the possibilities
are in climate and soil so favorable
to the production of the Elbetta
peach. Every Oklahoma farmer who
owns a we'll cultivated Elberta peach
orchard is growing rich.

TRY THIS FOR "THICK HEADED" !"

The difficulty most people exper-
fence in getting up in the morning
can be easily overcome by simple
operation. according to a medical
authority. After the nights long
rest the brain Is laden with a little
impure blood, and the lymph vessels
which remove waste matter are over
full and sluggish. This is why we all
crave another 10 minutes in bed and
why most people are so morose at
breakfast. Very slowly the brain gets
rid of the matters which interfere
with its vigorous action, but the pro-
cess can be expedited.
II the finger tips are placed against
the neck just under the ear and
moved swiftly down to the front of
the shoulder. along the course of the
jugular vein, the used up blood Is
drawn away and room left for fresh
supply. This should be done twice
at each side of the neck. Then the
hands should be placed at the back OF
the neck just under the skull and
moved down as far as possible. This
clears out the lymph vessels and ef-
fectually prevents swollen glands
from which so many people suffer.
After two brisk rubs OF the lymph
vessels return to the jugular vein and
then back to- the glands, half dozen
or eight times, until the operation
will be found far better than a cup
of coffee, and whenever the brain is
dull through congestion this massage
will be equally effective.-Pearson's

MENELIK OF ABYssINIA.

Nenelik H., emperor of Shoa and
Abyssinia, was born August II, 1874,
in his fathers kingdom Of Shoa. His
mother was a beggar whom the king
took a fancy to and married. He rul-
ed In Shoa after having spent his
youth in all sorts of wild adventures,
and when King John of Abyssinia
died in 1889, Menelik marched to
Abyssinia, had himself crowned en-
peror of Abyssinia nd Shoa and pro-
claimed himself king of kings. He
was enabled to do this with Italian
Interference, but he later flung aside
this alliance because, as he said,
Italy desired to absorb his kingdom.
The country he rules is very rich
in gold, luxuriant in vegetation and
In every way a desirable place. It's
population is over 100000 The
heir to tho throne is a boy II years
old, called Jjsu, a son OF Menelik's
daughter. The situation In Abyssin-
ia, however, is uncertain, and in the
event of King Menellks death a
struggle for the succession is prob
able.

WHAT MADE AMERICA GREAT?

Below is printed an extract from
sermon preached by the Rev. c. E
Jefferson in the Broadway Taber-
nacle about nine years ago-just
after the United States had made its
first start upon the highway leading
TO the avowed policy OF Imperialism.
1t contains a protest against recog-
nizing the false gods which have led
more powerful nations than this into
idolatry, and into moral and spiritual
and eventually material disintegra-
ton. 1t will be read by many and
understood by but few; but as in
all ages and under all flags. it is the
few who are last listened to, but are
also last vindicated:
America has been a great world
power for years. How did she become
such? By her army? No. BY her
navy? No. BY dabbling in diploma
cy? No. BY colonies and dependen-
cies? No. BY the cultivation OF the
arts Of peace. BY attending to her
own business. By building colleges
and schools and churches. By devel-
oping free institutions. We started
poor and without a friend. We are
today one of the richest Of all nations.
We have not fooled away our time
in drilling and marching. We have
worked. We have not squandered
our money on armies and navies. We
have built 1t into schools. And today
We are a power in the world. It is
absurd to think that nation cannot
be a great world power without an
immense army. "A great naval power

jure with. "A great Christian power.

ORIGIN OF "SINKING FUND" ("

The general public has no idea of
the meaning Of Sinking fund" The
term had its origin in a scheme de-
vised by Lord Stanhope in 1716 where
by certain taxes on the South Sea
(Bubble) and general funds were
made perpetual, and 1t was enacted
that the surplus should be annually
invested and applied to the discharge
Of the national debt. BY mean of 1t
between the years 1915 and 1888 the
sum Of s52,240,0O0 OF the debt was
actually discharged. SO rich became
the sinking fund that It excited the
cupidity Of parliament, and the graf
ters laid violent hands on 1t, dlverting

MILLENNIUM Is ON THE WAY.

The Chicago Record Herald says
POSTMASTER General Meyer has an
nounced number of reforms he in
tends to recommend to congress at
the next session. Several of them will
bring useful improvements in the fa-
cilities offered by the department. but
two are worthy of special considera-
tion, as they would in each case mean
extensions of the postoffice depart
ment's work as important as was the
adoption of the rural free delivery
policy.
"One of these two projects is a par
cells post system, 1t is one of the alb
surdities of our present system that
parcels can be brought to San Fran
cisco from Europe at a less cost than
is required to ship them a distance of
a few miles within our own bound
aries. \ 1O-pound limit on this SER
vice is what the postmaster general
suggests. but he will be willing to ac-
cept any limit congress imposes if he
can only induce congress to act at
all.
THE second project is a postal saw
ings bank. Mr.. Meyer has observed
that many persons buy postal orders
payable to themselves as a means of
saving their money, and he thinks
that this shows that there is room
and need for a postal savings bank.
Just what form his ton
Will take has not been deci led. If
congress considers the question the
success of the Philippines bank as
well as the experience of European
countries will fortify the alvocates OF
the plan"
To all of which it may be peril
nently added that both measures are
among the original demands of the
derided greenbackers of 80 years ago,
eventually the Farmers alliance,
still later of the populist partY, and
eventually of the reformed wing of
the democratic party. "A little leavrn

accepted Interpretation of the Bioh.

We shall see what we shall see, and
before parcels post is realized it will
be necessary to controvert the four
arguments against such an
which John Wanamaker,
when he was postmaster general,
said would have to be overcome: the
Pacific Express company, the Adams
Express company, the Wells-Fargo
Express company and the American
Express company.
1t may be added as also pertinent
and tending to a proper appreciation
Of the difficulties of accomplishing a
postal savings bank system, that in
the first place there are 5000 potent
arguments against it: the 5000 chart
cred national banks, besides a great
er host of state banks and innumer-
able trust companies, all of which
will bitterly oppose the governments
