Why He Was Sorry.
ALMOST WORN OUT.


To impress on young children Just
what should and what should not be
done and why. is among the most try
ing problems of parents, as evidenced
by the recent experience of a West
Philadelphia mother. Last Sunday
she asked her small son, aged eight, to
carry chair for her from the dining
room to the. parlor. He started of
willingly, but in the hall he tripped
and fell. Amid the crash could be
heard the boy giving vent to utter
ances that would have done credit to
. pirate of ancient days. The mother
was taken by surprise and was greatly
shocked. She gave the boy a long
and serious talk on the subject of pro.
family. This apparently did not make
the right impression, for when she
concluded the boy adder to her dis
comfiture by exclaiming, II am sorry
I swore, mamma, but forgot 1t was

How Lightning Splits Trees.

How Lightning Splits Trees.
Lightning makes trees explode, like
overcharged boilers. The flame Of the
lightning does not burn them up, nor
does the electric flash split them like
an ak. The bolt flows through into all
the damp interstices of the trunk and
into the hollows under its bark. All
the moisture at once is turned into
steam, which by its immediate explo-
sion rips open the tree. For centuries
this simple theory puzzled scientists,
but they have get it right at last.

Midshipman Smith, who was strick
en- with typhoid fever on the Indiana
at Plymouth, England, contracted the
disease, It is said, from smoking a
briar used nearly year ago by his
roommate at Annapolis who had a bad
case of typhoid. This theory is taken
as proof that concentrated nicotine
cannot destroy a typhoid germ. The
medical department OF the navy will
examine into the theory with the re-
suit that midshipmen of the future
may confine themselves to their own
pipes.

DISTRICT COURT
OPENS IN v|N|TA
First Day of October Term of District
Court Indicates Term VIII Be
Record Breaker.

The October term OF the district
court, with Judge Tom Brown, OF
Claremore presiding, convened In this
city this morning for a four weeks
session. There are many important
cases on the docket for this term and
from the manner in which court went
to work this morning this term prom
ises to be a record breaker.
The forenoon session was taken up
with rearranging and setting of the
cases on both the civil and criminal
docket. This afternoon the court win
hear motions and demurrers. Many
cases were settled by agreement or
continued ia the arrangement of the
docket this morning and it is thought
that the court will be ready to begin
the trial Of cases requiring jury
when the court coEvenes for the morn
ing session tomorrow.
The grand jury viii meet tomorrow
morning and 1t is rumored that some
sensations may follow the work Of
this body. Captain McKennon, Of Nc.
Alester has been appointed by Gov
Iernor Haskell to make an investiga-
tion into the affairs of this county,
and the evidence gathered by this
special attorney viii be submitted for
the consideration Of this grand jury.
The October term OF the county
court also began this morning, bui
owing to the session Of the district
court and the fact that Judge FreaI
did not care to put the county to the
added expense Of renting another court
room. all Jury trials in this court were
postponed until next month.

that the birds were most numerous in
the remote regions. where game war

that in addition to the native gunners
others have poured over the border

These two hunters had the good for.
tune to see a species of game that is
disappearing more rapidly than the
prairie chicken. Coming suddenly
over a sandhill, they saw four antelope
and fawn in the distance. They saw
four antelope on the same range a
year ago. The herd apparently had
been able to add one to its number
despite the constant danger of enc
mics that lurked at every crossing and
gap.
The hunters found in the small, mar

ever seen in Oklahoma. The streams

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. S.--In a
letter addressed to George r. Belding,
secretary Of the Arkansas State Fair
association, Hot Springs, Governor G.
| N. Haskell, invited to be on the re-
ception committee to receive Colonel
Roosevelt there on October 10, has
declined, and tells the reason why.
An American citizen is not to be
criticised, the governor says, If filed
with laudable ambition to lead the
public thought or to aspire to the ad.
ministration of public affairs, provid.
ed in seeking public approval, he says,
he shall meet the people sincerely, ad-
vocating those principles of govern
ment for which he really stands. The
letter continues:
Colonel Roosevelt does not come
/, to the people today, whether at Hot
Springs or Osawatomie, for any pur-
pose other than to attract them to his
personal standard that their support
may crafty his boundless ambition
1t is then our duty to lend no aid OF
encouragement, slight though It may
be, unless we can fully indorse the
man and his policies.
sColonel Roosevelt is not new
character Eleven years of promin'
ence, official power without policy
promoting legitimate business or pro
tecting the toiling masses, had gener
ated in his own party a multitude OF
LaFollettes, Delivers, Cummihs, Bris
tows and others, and every one OF
whom had pursued their reform ideas
against Colonel RooseVelt's vicious op
position, yea, even official oppression
Without assuming to settle the ques
tion between the standpat and the in
surgent elements of Republicanism we
might, though differing from, still ad
mire a candidate advocate Of either
principle honestly applied, but can We
admire or approve one who, to win
popular applause and crafty limit
less ambition, would stoop to mislead
or deceive the people?
I Il believe my opinion of Scolone
Roosevelt has been free from predu
dice, and after weighing with care
the evidence before us, indeed feel
ing that the policies of government
that we in a moderate way have con
tended for and put in operation while
others have been content with unful

have heard It.
DR.. Mccormack plead for closer CO.
operation between the great body of
the public and the medical profession

be more securely safegurded. He in
