almost invariably the best Of a de-

not the worst of the Irishwomen. But
there was evil in her, and passion was

Muskogee. l. r., March 7. -MuslSo-

as Troop A, a branch of the Indian
Territory Volunteer militia. The fay-
onte parade ground OF this troop is
Fort Gibson, seven miles away where
the old tort Is located and where the
government maintained a large do
tachment OF soldiers In the early days.
Last Sunday Troop A rode over 10
the old fort and during the afternoon
the city marshal arrested the entire
troop charging them with fast riding
through the streets
II now develops that while the ar
rest was Officially made for fast riding
the real cause was the fact that some
of the soldier boys had been flirting
With some of Fort Gibson's ~insome
maids. The young men OF the old
town resented the Intrusion OF the gay
soldiers and this enmity resulted Ia a
tale to the marshal who made the ar.
rest The matter was 1nally adjusted
and the trooD came home. but when
they started they rode Ia a walk until

Bells Poe Never Heard.

Hear the telephone bells
Nickel-plated bells.
What a nervous agitation In their petz-
lancy dwells;
How our tempers they excite
Through the day or in the night
As we hear the operators shauts and
yells.
"Hello," he says, hello"
And we wish he'd thither &c,
For no tomcat caterwauling to such help
less wrath implies,
And everybody knows
By the bawling
And the calling
How the conversation flows
As his thoughts into the instrument re-
peatedly he tells
As his thoughts with maledictlons he con-
tinually tells
Tells, tells, tells,
And again he rings the bells,
But the fellow at the other end Ia disin-
4 clined to go.
So once more he instills
Some hyph-ened syl-la-bles,
Like a jackdaw in a panic
And with vigor quite satanic,
It Is wrong to tear your hair
And worse, they say, to swear
By this or that or here or there or any
other where;
But that was said
Before were made
Those palpitating, fast-vibrating tele-
phonic bells
Bells, bells, bells, bells,
And the yells, yells, yells
Of the speakers and the hearers at thoSe
bells.

LOWEST LAND IN COUNTRY.
Geographical Survey Determining
the Depth of Death Valley.

Geographical Survey Determining
the Depth of Death Valley.
Death Valley, California, is the low
est point in the United States, but to
the surprise of everyone acquainted
with the region the United States geo
logical survey has ascertained by the
use Of a line Of spirit levels that the
depth Of that area is not so great as
had been supposed. The final compu-
tations have not yet been made, but
the preliminary figures give for the
lowest point a depth of 276 feet be-
low sea level. Benefits well, which is
near this point, is 266 feet below sea
level. These figures may be altered by
two or three feet on the final comput-
Ing, but they are probably not more
than three feet in error. The geolog-
lcal survey now has elevation marks
on the highest and lowest points Of
dry land in the United States.
1t Is a strange coincidence, says the
survey report, that these two extremes
are in southern California, and only
seventy-tiye miles apart Mount Whit
ney is a foot or two more than 1850
feet above the sea level, while Death
Valley, as above stated, is ZIG feet be-
low. Before the Salton sink, also In
Southern California, was flooded by
the Colorado river it contained the low
est point Of dry land in this country,
spot 287 feet below sea level.
Previous estimates of the depth Of
Death Valley, based on barometer read
ings, gave for the lowest point figures
varying from $50 to $50 feet below
sea level. The level line of the geo.
logical survey is believed to be the first
accurate determination Of elevations
In that locality ever made.
California now goes on record as the
State in which extremes meet-the
highest and lowest points of dry land.

JOURNEY OF A TREE ROOT.
Eucalyptus Sends Shoots Up Over a
Wall to a Sewer.

Eucalyptus Sends Shoots Up Over a
Wall to a Sewer.
From Santa Barbara, Cal, there
comes a story of a most interesting
freak Of vegetable life which is strict
~ vouched for.
Through a certain garden there ran,
some years ago, a sewer made of red
wood timber. This sewer was again
cased by an outside sewer. Across
THE sewer there was built brick wall
many feet high, and in such a way
that it was pierced by the inner
sewer which it inclosed tightly while
the outer sewer ended abruptly
against the wall.
The outside sewer casing had in
course of time decayed and a eucalyp-
tus tree. standing some go feet sway,
had taken advantage of this and sent
one of it's roots to the coveted spot
in as direct line as possible.
Here the root entered the outside
sewer and followed it's course as far
as it could. At last it came to the
wall. which shut off its course, and
it could go no farther, the inside sew
er being perfectly tight.
But on the other side of the wall
the sewer and it's double casing con-
tinued, and this eucalyptus tree evil
IDENTIFY knew how to get there.
Some three feet high in the brick
wall there was a little hole an lnch
or two in diameter and this the euca-
Iyptus tree was aware Of, as its big
root began to climb the dry wall and
face the sun and wind until 1t founa
the hole, through which it descended
on the other side and entered the
sewer again and followed it along as
formerly.
How did the tree know of the hole
in the wall? How did it know that
the sewer was on the other side?
How could it direct the root to go
and find the place with such precl-
sion? The roots of any plant grow
always and unerringly in the dlrec-
ton of it's food, just as the eucalyptus
tree did.

COUNSEL.

BY Henry Kendrick SchafIefd.
You're blue Lad:
Have things gone wrong?
Ihiok bad?
Then wake a song
no difference it makes
# your lips are pinched and wan,
It's the spirit of the song, the bravery
it takes
And the sad old, gay old world rolls
on.
You're here, Lad
You cannot trade
Life sad
For one JOY made:
So gracefully step up
When your fortunes from you gone,
Grasp the sweetly bitter draught, and
smilingly then sup
For the sad old, gay old world rolls
On
Be sure Lad
The world is right
Lives glad
Are won by fight.
Far weaker men than We
BY iii fortune were made strong:
Error lies, not in the world, but deep
in you and me
And the sad old, gay old world rolls
on. The Bohemian.
