night and the judges came oyer to
Guthrie where they would have the
advantage of better library facilities
and are in conference today. but al
decision Is mol expected before tomor

Finch, who was the election Inspector
for the ward in which Sims lived at
the time the action was brought, and
asking that Finch be compelled to al
low him to register and vote on Nov

Finch has resigned and there Is a
question as to whether an order
against Finch would be good against
his successor. The court Will decide
that along With the main facts in
issue.
Devereaux Opens for Plaintiff.
John Deyereaux opened the case for
the plaintiff and argued that the bill
objected to was adroitly drawn SO as
to prevent practically all negroes
from voting, and alleging that the test
for voters was unreasonable Deyer-
eaux argued that the negro was as
good in the eyes OF the law as the
Indian and yet blanket Indians could
yote while negroes could not
Answering Mr. Deyereaux, Attor-
ney General West entered into Il
thorough discussions OF the suffrage
laws of the states that had similar
provisions to this clause and showed
that they had, in fact. never been de-
clared unconstitutional He also
went into the matter OF whether the
negro was Of as high a standard as
the Indian. saying that he had always
understood that the Indian WAS poet
an orator and warrior aud that In
fact the very science of warfare as
used by the United States today had
been adopted from the Indians, and
that not one great element eould be
pointed out in the negro as far as he
was aware.
Ledbetter Follows West.
Attorney Ledbetter then entered
demurrer on the part Of the defendant
obiecting that the matter in controyer
sy was political right and not pro.

we're the proper places to take juris-
diction of such matters.
Judge Burford in his argument crit
lcized the state supreme court for not

Inion in the case tried before 1t and
in closing argued that the grandfather
clause was in conflict with both the

Gone But Not FOrq0tten.

James B. Derrick, Of Chaplin, was
born January 25, 1880, and passed to
his reward August Is, 1910. aged 80
years, months and 21 days. He was
the oldest of family of ten children
born to MIR. B. J. and Mrs. R. E. Der
rick. He leaves behind him father,
mother, seven sisters, two brothers,
host of friends and brave and honest
name to cheer the hearts of those who
loved him we'll.
He was baptized in infancy and in
early life was confirmed as member
of Bethel Lutheran church of which
he remained faithful unto death.
He was young man of easy and
genial manners, of enlightened views,
humane and kind-hearted, witty,
even jocular. fond of music, and a
great favorite with his brothers and
sisters.
Blessed is the memory of this dear
brother.
"We watched his breathing through
the night,
AS in his breast the wave OF life
Kept heaving to and fro.
Our very hopes aud our fears,
Our fears our hopes denied,
We thought him dying when he slept
And sleeping when he died"
While he was in health his place in
his home was never vacant, but 1t ls
vacant now never to be filled by him
on earth again. Typhoid fever was
the cause of his death.
IA face we loved to see is hid.
A voice we loved to hear is still,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed.
"He has crossed the cold, dark river,
Angels hold him gently by the hand;
He is safe from storms forever,
Safe within the promised land.
"Dear, oh, how we loved you!
No pen can write, no tongue can te'i'
But the gentle shepherd called him.
We must bid long farewell.
$50, fare the well our dear one!
You have only g ne before;
For if we are but as faithful,
We shall meet him bye and bye.

'"The resemblance Of pengiuns to

Lieutenant q. Fl. Shackleton in his

This is partly due to the habit Of

great many human traits about them.
They are the civilized natives Of these

OF two of the photographs that appear
in the book the following remarks are
made:

THE JURY DISAGREED.
A Fine Point In Equity That Never
Was Decided,

A Fine Point In Equity That Never
Was Decided.
An old time story of the fine points
of law and equity which arose in car
rying out an amicable contract is told
in the Philadelphia Record. There
were four brothers who had inherited
il storage warehouse from their father.
He had divided the property equally
among them.
Among the appurtenances was a cat
"a fine animal, excellent for mousing.
This. too, was divided, the eldest
brother owning the right front quar-
ter, the second brother the left front
quarter and the younger brothers the
two hind quarters.
Now, unfortunately, the cat in one
of it's nocturnal prowls injured the
right front paw, and the eldest
brother attended to that portion Of his
property by binding the injured mem
ber with creased rag.
The cat, thankful for this relief to
its sufferings, went to sleep content
edly before the fire, but in the midst
of it's slumbers a falling coal ignited
the rag, and the animal, bowling with
agony dashed through the warehouse
and, coming in contact with some COM
bustibles, set the building on fire.
When the loss came to be figured
out the three younger brothers wished
to throw it all upon the eldest on the
ground that had he not tied up his
part Of the cat with the inflammabl'
rag the building would not have beer
destroyed.
He, on the contrary, cOntended tina
had the cat only been possessed OF tn
front right paw--his property
would have stood still and burned t.
death. 1t was the three other paws
that caused the damage.
The brothers argued the case unit
they died. but they never reached al
agreement

FOOLED THE CITY.
One Of the Hoaxes Perpetrated by
Theodore Hook.

One Of the Hoaxes Perpetrated BY
Theodore Hook.
In the early part of the nineteenth
century great preparations were made
In England to receive Spanish am
bassador who was expected to arrive
at Southampton. A mischievous idea
came into the head of Theodore Hook
(born 1888. died lS41,. novelist and
journalist and above all contriver of
that diversion known as the hoax. The
English feet was lying off Southamp-
ton. Hook. then a young man. knew
many Of the younger officers. He
formed his scheme. and one morning
launch set out from the feet and
drew up at the quay.
In this launch was be who purpOrted
to be the Spanish ambassador in al
most royal robes. arrived two days be-
fore the expected time The mayor of
Southampton. who was TO receive the
Spanish envoy. was greatly 6ustered.
1t was all so sudden He did the best
he could Several companies OF sol.
diers. some on foot. some mounted.
were called out The bells were rung.
The ambassador. accompanied by q
number of young officers OF the feet,
was escorted with much pomp to the
mayors palace. There was banquet
and speechmaking, one of the young
officers acting as interpreter for the
ambassador
After it was over and the Spanish
envoy was supposed to be on his way
to London the true ambassador arriv-
ed. There was but sorry reception
for him. The other ambassador. who
was Theodore Hook. having perpetrat-
ed the greatest hoax ever known on
mayor and city. had exhausted
the hospitality of the town. The scan
daI was so great. the mayor and the
people of Southampton had been so
outrageously cold. that 10 make any
stir about the affair would only cause
them to be laughed at all the more.
With the exception of the dismissal
Of some Of the naval officers who had
taken part in it little was done. and
the affair was allowed to blow over
