Records Of the July collection un-
der the Akin $1,000 liquor license

airy.

which were made beforethe Akin

liquor tax was only $3.50 per saloon.
with those OF the next year, when the
law became effectlve, and following
years, is Interesting from the fact
that It shows greatiy increased rev.
enue to- the state, although the num-
Der Of saloons has been cut down
by several thousand.

law became effective, the report on
the average January and July col
lections shows there were 12,S71 sa-
looms In Ohio The next year, 1906
the first year the $1,000 tax was en-
forced, the average number Of sa-
looms was only S6S3 for the two col

creased by AS. but the revenues

WHY THE BLUENOSE!
NOVA scoTlANs NOT FOND OF BE-
ING SO CALLED.
Name, However, Has stuck to Them
Since Time Out Of Mlna-some
Explanations as TO tie
Origin.

Those who dwell in the Canadian
province Of Nova Scotia are called
bluenoses. The name has stuck to
them since time out Of mind. but how
they came to get it is a matter of con
lecture. One thing is certain-they
don't like it.
Nova Scotians pride themselves on
their English ancestry, and some will
offer the suggestion that the name is a
token that the blue blood shows.
When the French were driven out Of
Acadia the fertile lands they vacated
we're taken up by English colonists,
chiefly from Massachusetts.
The spirit Of revolt was strong then
IN Boston and elsewhere in New Eng
land Those who were loyal to the
king and taxes found It a good oppor-
tunity to move. and from these loyal
lists Acadia was largely repeopled.
It may be that the blue blood shows
and that the name is badge OF
honor, but most Nova scouans don't
believe It, for they feel that it is a
term Of reproach.
why bluenose" was the question
put to one young woman whose home
isn't far from Nova Scotia.
why, after the bluenose potatoes
Of course" she said, and l think its
mean to name people after potatoes.
Now, it's true that next to apples
potatoes form the greatest product o.
the rich Nova scotian soil. And it'i
also true that the bluenoses Is thu
bright particular star among the varie
ties Of potatoes they raise in Nov;
Scotia.
But the potatoes we're named fo
the people, not the people for the pc
tatoes. It's a simple question 0
chronology.
You explain 1t carefully to the younl
woman and she says: How silly 0
met" but you can see with half an ey'
that you haven't convinced her
Here's another guess. Being tn
third and last, maybe it's the righ
one. At any rate it's the one general,
accepted in that part Of the America
world known as Down East.
1t Is cold in Nova Scotia, might
cold, for six months out Of every Il

But, however it is, the easiest wa
to put the Nova Scotia nose out {
Joint Is to dub It bluenose.

A Delicate Touch.

Old Miss Bugbee was very deaf, and
very sensitive about her inirmity.
Such was her natural cleverness and
ingenuity, however, that she usually
escaped from serious embarrassment; (;

Are you aware, said the antiquary,
that there are certain church pews
to which the contribution basket is
never passed.?
Mo-
1T Is a fact. These pews are in
certain Old Episcopal churches in
Philadelphia in Boston, and in mum
Der Of New England villages.
They have been rented on a non
contributIon-basket basis for couple
Of centuries. In the past, it is said,
men slept in church; they even played
ecarte or draughts there, and the ad.
vent Of the contribution basket would
have been an amazing interruption to
them So for very much higher
rental they obtained pews that the col
lectors ignored. These pews in
churches that like to keep up the
quaint customs of the past are stilI
maintained"

suddenly leaped into fame last year
through the instantaneous success Of
his plays, produced in quick success

his second great play, "The Wolf" a
melodrama That Is just what it is,
and. so are many Of the greatest dra-

LESISLA URE NAY
MEET IN OKLA. CITY

The second annual session of the Ok
lahoms legislature may possibly be
held in Oklahoma City.
That is, If Oklahoma city's business
men are up and doing between now
and the time for the convening of that
body. VA
Already the matter is being dis
cussed The Democrats are said to be
bitter toward Guthrie, on account of
the election of negro legislator, but
more particularly Of the defeat of
Henry Johnston for congress in the
First district A prominent state off
cial is authority for the statement that
Guthrie may adjourn to some other
lcfB, preferably oklahoma City or
Shawnee The same official says the
matter could be arranged by Governor
Haskell, and that the latter particular
" does not like the treatment ac-
corded his party by hepeopIe Of Guth-
RE and the First congressional dis
trict.
Once before there was move on
foot to take the session Of the legis-
lature away from Guthrie, and it came
near going through Only the prompt
lacs2r of the business men Of that
city kept it there. They had to prom
ise to<be good, and they were, until
wen, until the recent election. Then
a negro was chosen in one Of Logan
county's legislative districts. The Dem
ocraas do not relish the idea Of ne
gro III an overwhelmingly Democratic
body, and they resent the action Of the
community which sends him there. AT
any rate, it is probable thatthe prop
osition OF moving the legislature will
be sprung just as soon as that body
convenes in Guthrie Oklahoma City

Some time ago Attorney General
West stated that If the rehearing was

the state law to perclude the attorney
general beginning suits Independent of

ton was that his office. being elective,
