discuss Governor Haskel's conduct, for in

the TACT that his name appears as one of
the defendants in various suits brought by
the government to prevent the Creek In

call your attention to to his conduct in
prostituting TO base purposes the State uni

Outlook OF September 3 last, under the
heading OF Shall the People Rule in Ok

In this article you will see that Governor

Spoiled Their WaItzina.

In her memoirs Nine. de Boigne
gives some interesting glimpses of
English social life. For instance, she
writes:
In 1915 no young English lady ven
tured to waltz. The Duke of Devon
shire returned from a tour in Germany
and observed one evening at a large
ball that woman was never seen to
better advantage than when waltzing.
do not know whether he was anx-
ious to play trick, but he repeated
this assertion several times 1t was
passed from mouth to mouth, and at
the next ball all the young ladies were
Waiting. The duke admired them
greatly, said that 1t was delightful and
gave proper animation to a ball. He
then added carelessly that he, at any
rate, had decided never to marry a
lady who waltzed 1t was to the
Duchess of Richmond and at Carlton
House that he saw fit to make this
revelation. The poor duchess, the most
clumsy of matchmaking mammas, near
ly fell off her chair with horror. She
repeated the statement to her neigh
bors. who passed it on, and consterna-
ton spread from seat to seat The
young ladies continued to waltz with
clear consciences. The old ladies were
furious, but the unfortunate dance was
concluded. Before the end of the even
ing the good Duchess Of Richmond
was able to announce that her daugh-
ters felt an objection to waltzing
which no persuasion of hers could ever
overcome. Some few girls of more in
dependence continued to waltz, but the
majority gave 1t up"
