Polk County the Best.

To the Editor of The Star.
 Dear Editor: Would like to have space in your paper for few words from Western Oklahoma.
 We came here four years ago from Arkansas, Oklahoma having been blown up so much to us, but since coming the winds have blown all those ideas out of our heads and we wish we were back. The winds blow the sand so bad that the men have to wear blind bridles when they blow to keep it from putting their eyes out. If the storms and hail dc not get the crops in the spring, they are pretty sure to do so in the fall And then comes the snows and tho northers, when all you can hear k the howl of the wolf and roar of the wind.
 People have to live on whatever is cheapest. When cabbage is 1 l-1 cents a pound, everywhere you gC you see pot of cabbage, and wher potatoes are 90 cents bushel, it is potatoes. You cannot raise fruit here. and but little garden.

Senatorial Repartee.

Once in the senate chamber John j.
Ingalls, was directing some remarks to
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts. The
other senator from that state. Mr..
Dawes, having come in while Mr.. In
gals was speaking thought the words
were meant for his ear, and so. inter-
ruptlng, he asked Ingalls, if he was di-
recting the remarks at him. The Kan
sas senator turned slowly around. for
Mr.. Dawes sat behind him, and then.
with delicious intonation. but an in
slant wit, he said, Il was directing
my remarks to the successor of Charles
Sumner and not to the successor of
Daniel Webster
The repartee has become traditional,
and the utterance was at once placed
alongside of that reply of Conkling
to Senator Thurman. which is also
traditional in the senate chamber.
Conkling was speaking. and Thur
man had said. interrupting him. Does
the senator aim his remarks at me;
he constantly turns to meT when Mr.
Conkling. with delicious gravity, bow
ing to Thurman. with whom he was
very friendly. said: When l turn to
the senator | turn as the Mussulman
turns to Mecca; | turn as | would turn
to the common law of England-the
worlds most copious fount of juris-
prudence"

A Bachelors Idea of tho Way Children

"The people who don't have to do
things can always do them better than
the people who are obliged to do
Them" said the cynical bachelor III
you want to know how to invest
money, ask fellow who has never
had any to invest. | suppose it's the
same with raising children. Neverthe-
less. am fond Of children. and never
having had an opportunity of raising
any of my own, am critical about the
way other people, more fortunate than
l, raise theirs.
"My brother has a youngster. boy
about six years old, and everything
that kid wants he cries for. The min
ute he begins to cry he gets it, which.
according to my reasoning, Is all
wrong.
"Why not make him laugh for 1t?
It's just as easy for child to laugh as
to cry, and it's far more heathful, be-
sides being much more cheerful FOR
the surrounding populace.
T've tried the experiment with him,
and 1t works like a charm. If hap
pen to have anything he wants. and he
cries for it, l make fun Of him. THAT
isn't the way to get it, l say. Don't
cry for 1t. Laugh for it

has made In the disposition of that kid.

HUNTING THE WALRUS.
The Eskimo Takes Advantage of the
Animals Curiosity.

The Eskimo Takes Advantage of the
Animals Curiosity.
In his frail skinboat 1t is difficult
and dangerous task for the Eskimo to
go out to sea forty to sixty miles and
intercept the walrus as he passes on
his migration into the Arctic.
One carcass will fill his boat. for ii
weighs from 1000 to 5000 pounds
He hunts the walrus when they are
lying asleep on the ice foes In herds
from ten to several hundred. Death
must be instantaneous, else with few
rolls or the peculiar numbering, hump
ing movement (seen of the seal when
ashore), he makes the few feet to the
water and then Is lost, as he has not
sufficient blubber and air to float. He
has much natural curiosity, and If not
scared by shots will come up close TO
your boat or the ice foe on which you
are sitting, squirting, snorting and roll
ing his eyes; with his cleaning tusks
and bristled snout he has an uncanny,
goblin, monster-like appearance.
herd of fifty or sixty of them will come
up en- masse, raise high out of the
water to stare at you. then snort,
squirt and disappear again, only to
come up on the same spot and repeat
the maneuver indefinitely. Taking
advantage of this the Eskimos hide be-
hind ice hummocks and throw har.
pooh into one. then snub the tough
rawhide line around an ice cake. He
must perforce come up to blow. and he
is then killed with the rife. The thick
skin and the mass of blubber and meat
beneath render him almost invulner-
