Pine Trees and Water.-Pine trees
cannot stand water in abundance and
in irrigating them in young forest
plantations it is often found that they
are injured. Occasionally very dry
season will permit of irrigation of the
white pine without injuring it. The
Austrian pine is also good tree to
grow where water is lacking and will
stand deprivation Of water even bet
ter than the white pine. For this rea-
son reforesting operations on very
dry land will succeed better II the
Austrian pine is used than II the white
pine is used. There are many dry sit
uations in Michigan, Wisconsin and
other states where the selection Of
the best variety would make q great
difference in the results in the course
of a few years.

all cases of sickness is just beginning
to be adequately recognized. A man
cannot break his leg by the most active
use Of his imagination, but in fevers,
mental troubles and even digestive and
lung ailments the power OF the imagi-
nation is greater than the effect Of
medicinal drugs. In such cases peo
pile die or get well greatly as they
themselves decide. Some people when
they are the least bit i'll let all their
thoughts dwell upon their sickness,
magnify the symptoms and grow worse
and worse. The opposite kind OF pa.
tient decides his illness does not amount
to anything, goes about his affairs and
thinks Of something else.
Faith cures, healing by inspiration,
health by will power and the like, are
often more substantial remedies than
the public thinks, simply by reason OF
the power of imagination over the
bOdy.

Mrs. Annie Hennessey, Of Second

night to the household medicine chest.
BY mistake she drank from bottle
containing q mild solution OF carbolic
acid. The taste burned her, and after
she had stuck a light she saw by the
label that she had taken poison.
When the doctor came he examined
the hottie and decided that the So.
luton was so weak and the amount she
had taken was so small that the dose
could not do any great harm. He so
told Mrs. Hennessey, but she insisted
that she was poisoned. She had heard
or read somewhere about the effect Of
OF carbolc acid and she actually felt
all The symptoms which she recalled.
Antidotes were administered and the
dc-.s5r proceeded as II 1t were n case Of
real carbolic poisoning, but Mrs. Hen.
nessey died in agony.
She was not killed by carbolic acid.

ago on 100 acres Of land for the pur-
pose Of mining for coal. They found
vein of good bituminous coal ut II
feet which Is 3 feet in thickness. T'hey
sold over ten tons of coal, which was
taken out In sinking the shaft. They
then tested the extent of the bed aud
found that it reached about 100 feet in
every direction from tho original shaft
and varied In thickness from seven to
nine feet This would OF course make
a very valuable property, and as the
ground is free from stones and easily
worked it is the more desirable. They
received an offer OF 5000 for their
lease but refused IL and are preparing
TO develop the property at once. They
have purchased coal digger's outfit
and will be ready TO enter the local
market In very short time.
Across the fence from their 100 acres
Is a tract Of land which has also been
tested with a drill and found to be
rich In coal and at present Martin
Wydner is trying to get the consent Of
nonresident heir in order that it
may be leased.
There seems no doubt that the
ground prospccted contains big sup
ply OF govd coal and it is surrounded
by land which is known TO contain
coal. The operators have also struck

homa papers are saying things, as
witness this from the Wewoka Capitol,
published by C. CranstoL, former
resident OF this county:
We now hear on all sides the ques-
tion: us there conspiracy to defeat
statehood?" Who is Murphy that has
introduced the bill In congress to re.
peal the enabling act? He was former
ly attorney for the Creek nation. He
is now a member Of the lower house OF
congress from the sixteenth congress
sional district Of Missouri. He was q
member Of the Sequoyah convention
that framed a constitution.
He was il Muskogee in December
and visited the constitutional conven.
tion at Gurthrie before he returned to
Washington and only short time be.
fore he introduced the bill TO repeal the
enabling act. Who are the leaders OF
the convention? In 1905 Murphy,
Haskell and Murry were leading spirits
iu the Sequoyah convention which was
at that time opposed TO joint statehood.
Are these men still opposed joint state
hood? Many are now beginning TO
think they are. Some OF the leading
papers are beginning TO speak out on
the matter.
II there are traitors In the conven.
tion, who are they and what will hap
pen il they succeed in defeating joint
statehood?
