tbirtv-second degree Mason.
Mr. Brown left a collection of art
objects and curios valued at thou

bean cataIogued, and no one has any
idea of their real worth. There are
thousands of books treating of all
subjects, many of them valuable edi-
lions de luxe. Hundreds of paintings
hang on the walls, among them
numerous originals of worlds ia

paid high prices. Others are copies
of originals there are signed por-
traits Of great public men and great
actors and actresses.
Mr. Brown once gave a dinner to
President Cleveland at which the ex-

owned, and ate off a cloth Maximil-
Ian once claimed. The dinner was
also served in china that belonged to
the Emperor Napoleon about the
time of his marriage to Josephine.

Success Encourages Farmers.

Broom corn thrives where the
maximum rainfall does not exceed
q inches a year For that reason
farmers in extreme western and
northwestern counties, where corn
and wheat are uncertain crops, be-
gan planting broom corn several
years ago. oklahoma now is a fac
tor in the broom corn market of the
United States.
The success of growing broom
corn in the northwestern and west
ern counties has encouraged farm
ers in southern and southwestern
counties to engage in the industry,
and with the greatest success. The
principal broom corn counties are
Beaver, Beckham, Comanche, Caddo,
Custer, Dewey, Ellis, Harper, Major,
Roger Mills, Texas, Woodward and
Woods
When the broom harvest begins
buyers from all parts of the United
States come to Oklahoma and re-
main at the shipping points in closest
competition to get the bulk of the
crop. Sometimes they bid against
one another in such lively manner
that little profit is left to them. The
broom corn grower enjoys this, but
the buyers soon begin squirming.
Then they try to pool among them
selves for self-protection.
The growers then refuse to mar
ket their broom corn. Word is sent
to an outside buyer that 40 or so
carloads of broom corn are in ware
houses, and the buyer hastens with
his bids. This usually breaks the
pool In a number of the important
broom corn towns farmers have
dubbed together, built their own
warehouses and are able to hold
their corn as long as necessary. At
Enid is a broom warehouse that
holds 200 carloads of broom corn.

WORLDS MOST ANCIENT CITY

hara have eQualed in fame it's piety
and learning. It's silks were the
most delicate, expensive and beauti-
full in design in all Asia; it's carpets
and brocades have been unrivaled
and even today it's rugs rank next to
the finest of Persia. The products
of China and India and Europe
changed hands on it's caravansaries
and it's merchants were among the
richest and most influential in all the
world.
Alexander the Great occupied Box
hara for several years, and,~Teigned
afterward in the person of one of his
trusted lieutenants. Quintus Curtius
tells us that here he overcame a lion
in single combat, at which the envoy
from Sparta exclaimed:
well done, Alexander, nobly hast
thou won the prize of kingship from
the king of beasts"
The same authority tells US that
Alexander sacrificed 1000 animals
to the gods upon his return from
India, and it was here that he killed
his old friend and comrade, Clytus,
in a drunken passion.
The exploits of the great Macedon-
sky, as the Russian writer's refer to
him, are quite as familiar to the peo-
pie as those of Tamerlane, and sew
sral prominent families claim descent
from him. He did little for Samar-
kand or for Bokhara himself, but the
governments he organized here ex-
listed for several hundred wears. nm
til a short time before the christian
era, and introduced considerable
degree of Greek culture, of which,
however, no traces remain. The only
tangible evidence of the presence of
the world conqueror in these parts
are the remains of a few mud walls
and a few coins bearing his bust.
which are occasionally discovered in
the ruins around Samarkand. That
city was the headquarters of Alexan-
der for several years, and he forti-
fed it.

THE MARCH OF CIVILIZATION.
Not Red Man But Monkey wrenche

Not Red Man But Monkey WrenChes
From Above Menaces Life.
Great strides have been made in
civilization since the days of the ear
ly settlers in this country. At that
time, as the historians tell us, one
could not venture out Of the house
with any certainty of returning alive
if wolves or other wild animals
did not get one the Indians did, and
the situation was further complicated
by the absence of life insurance. A
woman who saw her husband go out
of the house knew that, even
chances, she would be a widow be-
fore night.
See how different it is today. No
longer do we fear Indians and
wolves-many of US live and die
without seeing either except in wild
west shows and geological gardens.
The only things we need to dread
nowadays are automobiles, trolley
cars, grade-crossings, man-holes.
We may, of course, lose our lives
by hastings, third rails and ice
cream cones, but as the chances are
nearly even against such a catastro-
phe no reasonable man can utter a
complaint. With the advent of the
flying machine, to be sure, the like
lihood will be greatly increased of
sudden death by monkey wrenches
and smelling-salts bottles falling on
our heads from great heights, but
the prospect is, fortunately, still IN
certain.

ONCE HEADQUARTERS
OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
1t Was Here That the COnquerer, in
Drunken Passion, Killed His
Old Friend CIytus.


There is little doubt that Bokhara
is one of the most ancient cities in
the east, writes William E. Curtis
in the Chicago Record-Herald. 1t
has a place in history long before
the christian era, and for 1000 years
has been enriched and despoiled in
turn by the cOnquerors of Asia. 1t
has been a pillar of Islam, the capital
of some of the greatest kings of the
east and it's universities and schools
have been the pride of the MOham-
medan world. Their faculties have
consisted of the most learned null
labs and have drawn scholars here
to study and to discuss. Bokhara
has been the object of pilgrimages
from every country in the east, and
there is a proverb which describes
the veneration in which this city was
formerly held:
I'm all other parts of the world
light descends upon the earth; from
old Bokhara it ascends."

RECOMMENDS SPANKING.
New Jersey Pastor Won't Permit
HObble Skirt in His Church.

A crusade against the hobble skirt
has been started by the Rev. Peter
Henry, pastor of the First Reformed
church of Groveville, N. ]. Among
other things he has issued an edict
that no woman wearing such a dress
shall be admitted to his church. He
declares that any woman who would
so debase herself and sex as to wear
such a sartorial trayesty should be
spanked" Mr.. Henry characterizes
the woman wearing Bobble skirts as
walking balloons, tlunatics' and
goddess ones.

TO SWEEP IN $40, 100000
BROOM CORN CROP IN OKLAHO-
MA is THE BEST EVER.
There Were Planted 253,3 Acres.
Thrives Where Corn and Wheat


Are Very Uncertain.
WOODWARD, Okla.-The broom
corn fields of Oklahoma this year,
it is estimated, will bring in an in
come of $10,000,000 to the growers.
The largest acreage ever planted in
Oklahoma is now maturing. The
acreage is SO per cent. greater than
in 1909, which gives a total of ap-
proximately 253,359 acres. The
yield was never better, and is esti-
mated at an average of one-third Of
ton to the acre. The 1910 quota
lions run from $40 to $3.50 a ton
The successful cultivation of
broom corn in Oklahoma is another
striking instance of the adaptability
of the soil and climate of this state
to the growing of a diversity of sta
pie and profitable crops. A notable
fact of agriculture in Oklahoma is
that corn, wheat and cotton may be
grown on the same farm. A more
notable fact is that if the season
should be unfavOrable for corn there
is likelihood of it's being favorable
for cotton, which was true this year,
the corn crop being a failure in many
counties, while the weather condi-
tons that injured the corn produced
what probably will be the biggest
yield Of cotton ever harvested in this
state.
