Guthrie, Okla, Dec 21.-A complete
inventory of all the property belonging
to the state of Oklahoma, both per.
sonal and real, with the exception of
the school lands, will be. taken by G..
A. Taylor, state examiner and inspec-
tor. Hugh Gerner, chief deputy to Mr.
Taylor, has completed blank schedules,
now in the hands of the printer, and
upon these the regents and boards c.
each state department will be asked
to list all state property controlled by
his department or institution.
This is an innovation in Oklahoma,
as at present no one has an real con.
ception of the amount of property
owned by the state and no one has A
check in case any should be lost or
stolen. The aggregate value of state
property, aside from school lands and
including furnishings. records, public
buildings and lands upon which TIE
Institutions are located, is conservative
ly estimated at $1O,OO0,O00.
''No good business man would con
duct his business without taking an
inventory of his property occasionally, .
said Mr.. Gerner today, "and the state
should exercise equally as good busi-
ness sense. There is now no law or
custom requiring this to be done and
hence the state has no check on its
fixed assets"

Comfortable Prison,

Cettinje, the capital of the kingdom
of Montenegro. has probably the most
remarkable prison in the world. No
walls surround 1t and the inmates,
who furnish their own cells Just as
they please, seem to stay there only
because they find their quarters COM
Portable. The diet is liberal, with
wine on occasions and cigarettes to
taste. There is no work to do; no
distinctive garb is worn; and com
paratively free intercourse is allowed
with the outside world. On certain
feast days the prisoners are allowed to
entertain their friends.

Folly Of Flying Into a Rage.

A man, IL he remembers how fool
ish figure another man makes when
he is nursing his wrath, will restrain
his own. Every man hates to be ridic-
ulous. He shrinks from the humilia-
tion of seeming little to his fellow,
and no man ever seems SO contempt
BILE and absurd as when he is In q
rage.

The Play and Company Are Perfection.

TIC ray dTu OVIIIPu''J NJ "
Speaking of "The Climax" which is
to be presented to our theatre patrons
very soon, a reviewer says: But no
words can portray the beauty or tell of
the exquisite charm that permeates the
play. 1t is daintily touched here and
there with an artistic brush and radi-
ates and sparkles until it is bedewed
with tears. The atmosphere of home,
the wholesome idea, the sweet Italian
music and the clear, beautiful wording
make it an uplift; play that to be
seen rouses noble thoughts and pur-
poses.

seems to be the accumulation of gas
in the intestines, which at times
causes intense pain. His majesty has
gained two and a half pounds in
weight since he returned to Sweden.
