HOW PAPER CAME. TO BE
A Wasp in a Garden Was Inspiration
to Nipponese Who Could Grasp
Opportunity.

Long years ago Japanese walked
through his pretty garden to his home;
his hands were clasped behind his
back and he was thinking as he cross
ed the bridge to pluck a fresh wiste-
ria blossom that hung just over his
head. This little gentleman had a
great many parcels to send out from
his shop every week, and he had al
ways wrapped them in silk; but this
was expensive material and he need
ed something cheaper for his purpose.
All at once a wasp came fitting to-
ward him, but he thrust II away that
IT might not nip his nose, and 10!
there at his hand was a wasp's nestl
II was made of thin wood pulp, soft
ened into a thin paste by the Jaws of
the insect, then formed and left
to dry.
why can't l do that same thing?"
thought the Japanese merchant. Get
certain wood, form 1t into a pulp by
means of water from the river and
make something like this wasp's nest
In consistency to wrap about my pack
ages" So this was the way paper was
first discovered: A wasp few across
the path Of man who walked one day
In a vine-clad garden OF old Japan

Names for "eood Friday"

Perhaps no Christian festival has so
many names as Good Friday. Our
Anglo-Saxon and Danish forefathers
called 1t Long Friday" In allusion
to the length of the days services and
fasting; in france it Is Holy Friday"
In Germany either "Stiller Freitag"
Quiet Friday or "Charfreisag," In al
fusion perhaps to the exhibition Of the
crucifx for alteration after being
yelled all through Lent. In the Greek
church 1t has been known at various
times as THE Pascha OF the Cross"
THE Preparation. "The Redemption"
and The Day OF the Cross" and to
these names the Latlns have added
The Day OF the Lords Passion" The
Sixth Holy Day Of the Pascha." and
many others. "Good Friday" seems
to be peculiar 10 the English Ian
guage.

SERVICE OF BIRDS TO NAN
Insects That Destroy Crops and InIurs
Live Stock Are Their Natural
Food.

Among the creatures that render
service TO mankind the birds occupy
foremost place. IL is their func-
ton to suppress the insects that play
havoc with the farmers hard-earned
crops.
Fifty-three per cent. of the food
Of birds in one locality was found to
consist Of the larvae Of the disease
disseminating mosquitoes. Horse
flies are the burden not only Of
horses, but of other valuable stock,
and the larvae of this fly are the
natural food Of several species of
birds. The fever tick, so injurious
to cattle, is the natural food of the
kill-deer and the plover. Corn, cot
ton and other crops are destroyed to
large extent by grasshoppers, and
there are at least 90 species Of birds
that feed upon grasshoppers. Grass
lands and grain crops in general suf-
fer greatly from various insect pests,
which are destroyed in vast multi
tudes by birds. The greatly dreaded
boil weevil is food for the plover,
the kill-deer and others of the feath-
cred tribe.
1t is a common experience to see
birds following the pillow and con-
Stunning grubs that are destructive to
garden and other valuable plants.
These friends of the planter should
in every state be protected by rigid
legislation.

SLEEPY DRIVER A NUISANCE.

When Charles Lockwood fell fast
asleep while driving his two-horse
vegetable wagon the other day, traf-
fic was tied up for a considerable
time in one of New Yorks busiest
streets. AS the horses walked slowly
the trolley traffic was blocked. Sew
eral cars crawled slowly behind him,
but he slept on despite the changing
of the gongs. A policeman poked
him with his nightstick, but he only
fell over into the wagon and con-
tinued his slumber. The policeman
then pulled the, truck off the car
lines, and after much prodding
awakened the driver. LOckwood's
temper was considerably ruffled at
the rude awakening, and so abusive
was he that the policeman marched
him off to a police court.

SPEAR GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIN
One Experience With White Mans
Weapon Was Enough for
African Native.

When Mr.. Montague. the English
traveller, was in Africa, he gave to q
native ar old single-barreled gun, and
the fellow was delighted. He put In
a small handful of powder, and about
a Q1aiter of a newspaper on top OF
it, and finally ball, and then rammed
the whole charge down. Then he de-
parted. In the evening he returned,
with his face battered and swollen al
most beyond recognition. What have
you been doing?" asked the English
man, in amazement. The native sat
down on the ground and said. sorrow
fully: "A little after noon found the
track Of Glands, and / followed 1t un-
til | found them feeding. ! crept up
to one of them. He was twenty yards
away. rested the barrel Of the
gun on a stone. placed the butt
against my nose, directed the muzzle
toward the Gland, and pulled the trig-
ger. l do not know what happened,
for I was blind and deaf for some
time, but when I came to I found my
self lying at the bottom Of the gully.
The gun was beside me, my face was
as you now see it, and the Glands had
gone away. Son of a white man, IL
was very kind of you to give me a
gun, but 1t is too good gun for me-
too strong, too powerful. II needs
the wisdom of a white man to rule
It. Take it back. FAREWELL"

the seat of government should remain
in Guthrie until after 1913.
1t was contended in the McCabe
case that the act of the first legisla-
ture segregating the races was in con
ilict with the enabling act provision,
for the reason that equal privileges,
on account of their racial condition,
were not provided for negroes The
capital case might be said TO appear
in the same class, inasmuch as its
removal from Guthrie to Oklahoma
City. which Guthrie is questioning be-
fore the supreme court. was done by
an act of the legislature. The ap-

arise, it is made plain that the Okla

element considering the case then at
