He. Knows

There are some people who just won't
like the local editor, do matter what his
religion, politics or standing may be-
They have made up their minds that
they are are not going to like him and
that settles it. There is another class
(Lord pity their poor little shriveled up
souls) who have figured it out that the
editor is a low down sort of a cuss and,
not fit for them to associate with, and
as to visiting the editors family, they
couldn't for a moment think Of such a
thing. Try as hard as we may, we can
not overcome these preconceived notions
of some people. But we know few
things. We know who likes us, and
who don't; we know who appreciates
the work we are trying to do, and who
don't; we know who encourages and
helps us, and who backbites and throws
stumbling blocks in our way; we know
who chariitably .overlooks our short
comings, and who bitterly criticises us
for them-in fact we know lots of things
that we have never told, and perhaps
never will, and we know some people
who ought to be mighty glad of it,

Newspaper Figures

1t is estimated that the annual ag-
gregate circulation of newspapers in the
world Is IL, 900, 600, O0O.copies. TO grasp
an idea of what these figures means,
one should be told that these papers
would cover no less than 10.45O square
miles of surface, that they are printed
on 7S1, $50 tons of'paper, and further,
that if the total number represented
seconds instead of papers it would take
333 years for them to pass Instead of
this arrangement one might press and
pile them vertically upward to reach
the tops of the highest mountains, top
ping even the highest of them and
Teaching the total height of 500 miles!
Calculating that the average man
spends five minutes a day reading his
paper, we find that; the people of the
world spend. altogether, an amount of
time equivalent to 100000 years each
year reading newspapers.

ed in the joints of the bamboo, and the
beautiful greenish-pink scintillating

much more costly than the ordinary
opal. Thousands Of canestalks may be
examined without finding one of these
curious gems, which are probably the
result Of disease or injury Beautiful
blush pearls or stony secretions are
occasionally formed in some Cocoa
nuts and are found, ranging in size
from pinhead- to a pea, by carefully
examining the interior of ripe nuts.

-FOUR INSTITUTIONS
WITHOUT APPROPRIATIONS

Guthrie, okla, Sept. 11.-Four of
our state institutions will be main
tanned this year without legislative
appropriation. In the case of the
state normal school at Durant and
the state normal school at Ada, It is
probable that the legislature did not
expect the school to be started until
after the buildings were erected hence
they did not make adequate appro-
priation for the maintenance of these
two schools but did make appropria-
tion for good buildings at each Of
them. The citizens of both of these
towns propose to have the normals in
session this year, hence they are fin
ancing the schools by means OF public
subscriptions and will probably ask
the legislature of the state to REIN.
burse them at the next session.
In the case OF the school for blind
at Sulphur, by means of a clerical
error the enacting clause Of the bill
which provided appropriation for its
maintenance was omitted The great
state OF Oklahoma cannot afford for
It's unfortunate blind children to go
without instruction and a number Of
the state officers, or to be exact, the
members OF the board Of regents,
which includes several state officers
besides the governor, and the mem-
bers Of the state board Of public af-
fairs have as individuals. signed notes
with which to get the money TO main
tain that school for the fiscal year.
This action on the part of these
boards indicates that the membership
thereof are patriotic to the highest
degree and entities them to the kind
est consideration Of all who are inter-
ested in seeing the charitable work
of the state of Oklahoma maintained.
The other state institution for
which no legislative appropriation was
made for maintenance was the indus
trial school for girls. located at Chick
asha. The citizens OF that city like
those OF Ada and Durant viii bear
the expenses OF the school for the cur
rent year, looking TO q future session
of the legislature In which they can
