Removal OF Causes of Strife Has
Made Rhinoceros Stupid
Animal He Is.

The rhinoceros is an ugly beast,
and DR. w. S. Rainsford charges him
in an article in the Outlook with be-
ing as stupid and as wicked as he
looks. Some years ago, he says, a
noted professor of biology interested
him greatly as he showed him the
skulls of certain Miocene rhinoceroses.
In those far-away days the beast
must have been well able to take care
of himself, even in the dangerous COM
pany in which he found himself. The
convolutions of the brain of the
Miocene rhinoceros are fine, much
superior to those of his present-day
descendant.
The saw-tooth tiger and the cave
bear were not dangerous enemies. In
deed, he somehow so managed things
that when they disappeared he sur
Nved. Then gradually life must have
become too easy for him. He was big
and burly and well-armed; other anil
mails kept out of his way. The newt
able consequences ensued. COMPETE
ton fierce and keen had kept him up.
The struggle over, his brain no longer
put to it's best use. he began, like
poor Dean Swift, ito die atop"
The African grass Is as good as OF
yore. His hide is as thick. his horn
as sharp, everything keeps out of his
way, and he lives on, surly. lima
tured, dangerous and quite useless
lne, occupying ground that more use
full and beautiful things need.
Surely striking illustration In the
animal world of the universal truth
we are prone to forget; that easy
times do not always make for real use
fulness or greatness.

LAND SALE IN OKLAHOMA
Proceeds From Sale of 100000 Acres
Of Land Will Go Into the
Common School Fund.
(Herald Specially

4 t.. SRSO@1@-'(
Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 15.-During the
next three weeks the state of Okla
hoila is to sell 100000 acres of COM
mon school indemnity lands, the
proceeds of which will go into the
common school fund. The sale was
begun today at Chandler, where John
N. Shepler superintendent of sales of
the school land department, put up
at auction the first batch of 361
tracts that are to be sold in Lincoln
county.
The 100000 acres to be sold is
appraised at from eight to thfrty-four
dollars an acre About half a mil
lio4 acres are listed as agricultural
land. while the rest is better adapted
to grazing. No purchaser can obtain
more than $50 acres, and in addition
to the price of the soil he must pay
for any Improvements already made
by ilease-holders.
I is the desire of the state to sell
the common school indemnity lands
as soon as possible, because of the
fact that they lie in large tracts,
leaving practically no taxable lands in
the townships and school districts
VIII hre they are located. After the in
den hnity lands have been sold, the
new college lands, which also lie in
LARGE tracts to a considerable degree,
and the public buildings lands are to
be disposed of.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETS
Routine Business Is Transacted, anc
Schools Are Reported In spIen- u
did Condition.

The city school board met last eve
ming at the Board of Trade rooms, in
regular monthly session, and the rod.
tine business was transacted.
The finance committee made its re
port, and a report was received from
Superintendent King. The schools
were shown to be doing good work,
and are in splendid condition.
A report was read from the
superintendent of the water works
company stating the company was not
yet able to flush and clean their water
mains. The board had requested this
work done, in order to again resume
the using of the city water. During
the session water has been hauled for
drinking purposes, the city water be-
ing deemed unsafe. The local physi-.
clans now say the water can be used
with reasonable safety, and that it is
wholesome, except that the deposits
of mud, filth, etc, during the scarcity
of water deposited in the pipes from
doubtful sources, made it a hazard.
AS soon as the pipes can be thorough
ly flushed the water, it is thought,
will be safe for drinking purposes.
This, the superintendent of the plant
says, cannot be done until more
plentiful supply of water is at hand.
1t was decided to continue hauling
water for drinking purposes at the
schools until it is deemed reasonably
safe to change.
All bills properly 0. KID were order |
ed paid.
