OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla.
March 7.-Sequoyah, inventor of
the Cherokee Indian alphabet, is
to be struck right in among all
the big folks in the statuary hall
at Washington. The Oklahoma leg
islature has elected him to one of
the two places permitted it as a
state and has appropriated
$4,000 for his statue to be made
by Mrs. Winnie Hoxie, a sculp-
tress of Cherokee Indian descent.
Sequoyah was the son of an In
dian maiden and a Hessian SOL
der who fought under Braddock
He was one of the delegation
sent by the Cherokees to see the
Great White Father, President
Jefferson, attained leadership in
his race and invented the Chero-
kee alphabet of sc characters
still in use. He led a small band
of his people toward the Pacific
when driven westward by the
whites, but he died in the shadow
of the Rockies and was buried
in a cave.

DOCTOR REBELS

DIR. e. A. Rich says that medical
expert testimony in lawsuits has
become utterly discredited SO that
juries pay little heed to it, and
he yesterday started movement
in superior court to try to change
sentiment on the subject.
He was called ito examine the
plaintiff in the damage suit OF
Robert T. Woods, who sues for
$1,000 against Christian Brandes
|of the Vienna cafe.
Woods was elected and injured
in the melee. DR.. Rich was called
to examine the injuries. He re-
fused to do it with attorneys pres
|ent, declaring attorneys interfere
with an unbiased opinion on the
part of the doctors and that they
|are largely responsible for the
|disrepute in which medical testi-
mony has fallen. He says the
doctors have agreed that they will
make no more examinations with
lawyers present.

Labor Leader State Commissioner

SAN FRANCISCO, March T.
For the first time in the history
of California politics labor UNI
ion man has been appointed State
Labor Commissioner. Heretofore
the holders of this office have been
allied with capital.
The recent appointment by Gov
Johnson of John p. Mclaughlin,
labor leader, shows the new order
of things in California politics. 1t
shows how the insurgent admins
tration is trying to fill offices with
men who are best fitted to hold
them.
1t is the triumph of insurgency
and trades unionism rolled togeth-
,er. Mclaughlin was teamster
for seven years. business agent
and secretary of the Brotherhood
of Transfers, health commissioner
and supervisor.
Looking at the laws from the
standpoint of a trade unionist, |
am not satisfied that they have
been enforced for the benefit of
the great majority of the people,
declared Mclaughlin when he took
office. So he is going to see the
laws enforced.
big Business" doesn't like this
new commissioner, because he
promises trouble for many who
have been violating labor and san
itary laws. In the past the laws
have not been enforced. But this
will soon stop. as many other
things have stopped since insur-
gency kicked the railroad octopus
out of politics.

Miss Florence e. Whittier, nine
teen years old, grandniece of the
Quaker poet, John Greenleaf Whit
tier, left the business school she
attended in Boston at 2 O'Clock
on the afternoon of Jan. 13, and
stepped into the street.
From that moment to this not
a word has been heard from her
and all Boston wonders and
guesses.
The police and professional and
amateur detectives are searching
for her in Canada, as far south as
Cuba, and even in England.
1t is a case that rivals the Ar
mold mystery, but in this instance
there is no clew upon which to
work. She had no lover, an elope-
ment seems out of the question
and there was nothing in her past
life to indicate any motive for
suicide.

The Finneys, who perform in a

Their wonderful act hardly needs
an introduction, as they have been
in Tacoma before, and their pop

The "Show Girl" played by Lee
Fevre and st. John, is good
sketch, and the equilibrists are
perfection itself. Billy Baron,
with his voice and violin, has one
of the big acts on the bill. Girard
and Gardner have a very amusing
sketch. Tom Dempsey does a
monologue, and motion pictures
close the bill.

JOkED WITH JOKER.

A victim of street car pickpockets
resolved to get even, the Cleveland
Plain Dealer says. He put in his
pocketbook nothing but a slip of pa
per on which was written; "This is
where you lose, fellowp' Then he
climbed into a pay-as-you-enter car
and waited. Twenty minutes passed
and nothing happened Twenty
more minutes fitted by. The sleuth
left the car then, having assured
himself that his purse was safe. He
repaired to a safe place and looked
things over. There was a slip of
paper, just as he had wrapped it up.
But when he opened it the thing had
new sentence on it. 1t said saint

PROUD TO TELL ABOUT CURES
Folks Who Have Been Sick Like 70
See Their Cases In Print, Says
Doctor.

ANY doctor who cures a patient Of
an illness serious enough to be writ
ten up in a medical magazine has a
right to feel proud of himself, but
he isn't nearly so proud as the per-
son he cured" said doctor. at ac-
tually looks as if seeing the history
OF their cases in print compenntes
some folks for being sick.
Nearly everybody nowadays who
has a pretty hard pull to get back
to health asks me if | am not going
to write up the case for publication.
The mere suggestion that it is not
interesting enough for copy nearly
causes a relapse. AS an incentive to
recovery have tried my literary
skill on several cases that contained
not one sensational feature from a
scientific standpoint.
"The patients were pretty sick, Of
course, and thought they were going
to die. Over and over l assured them
that they had a straight attack Of
fever or stomach trouble without
complications, but they were con-
WINGED | was only putting it mildly
to keep from soaring them to death.
When, just to please them, l finally
wrote history of the illness they
we're so proud that they had the
story printed in pamphlet form at
their own expense"

BUT IT DID HIM GOOD.

Mrs. n. Beebe Hasbrouck knows a
little boy whose father, after many
unheeded admonitions, took the
young man out into the garage
they no longer afford woodsheds in
that aristocratic quarter of the town
and with an implement selected
for its utility for the matter in hand
impressed upon his son and heir the
necessity of obedience.
1t was Walters first experience,
and he was much more enraged than
subdued by the fall his pride suf-
fered in the premises. The ordeal
over, he turned to his father with
flashing eyes and sobbed: "All right
for you, dad, but | want you dis
tinctly to understand that you are
not my mother"
Nevertheless, a mighty change
has come over him since that day.

NEW YORK STILL A FUR STATE.

That the reputation of the state of
New York as a fur bearing district
has not been entirely lost and that
that reputation so far as Wayne
county is concerned is still being
kept up is shown by the fact that APP
proximately 100000 worth of furs
were shipped to New York by one
dealer during the fall of 1910 and
so far during 1911.
Since the season opened last fall
he has bought furs as follows: Fifty
thousand muskrats, 10000 skunks,
500 raccoons, 600 minks, 800 red
foxes, 500 ermine, which make
total of over 10000 skins. Undoubt-
edly this does not represent the en-
tire catch. for there are probably
other dealers.-Newark On. "

MENNoNITEs AND WATERMELON

The Mennonites have a decided
preference for watermelons over
every other "fruit." They call the
melons "arboosen," though we would
not be willing to certify that this is
the correct spelling. The last detach-
ment happened to arrive at Atchison
one Saturday-market day-and
among the. first objects they saw
were the big Kansas watermelons.
They went for them then and thar"
and felt that they had reached the
"happy land of Canaan" Unless
some other state can raise larger wa
termelons than Kansas-which some
other state can't-the future Men
MONTE immigration will be directed
hitherward.-Noble L. Prentis, Kan
sas Miscellanies.
