The Iron Crown Of Italy.

The historic iron crown of Italy
has played romantic role in the his
tory of the peninsula. 1t WIS made
in the year 594 by the command, it is
said of Theodolinda, the widow of a
Lombard king, on the occasion of her
marriage to a duke of Turin.
The crown is Of iron overlaid with
gilt. Its significance was supposed to
lay in the fact that the weight of
royalty could never be lightened by
its splendid exterior The iron of the
inner portion was tradjtionally held
to be one of the long nails used at the
crucifixion.
ror long time the crown was in
the keeping of the famous monastery
at Monza In TIA 1t was brought
forth to be placed upon the head OF
Charlemagne as King OF the Lom-
bards." and on later occasions It fig
ured In the triumphs of Frederic Nv
and Charles V. Finally in the pres
ence of all the representatives OF
state. the foreign ENJOYS and princes
and officers, Napoleon I3onaparte sol
.mnly united it to the crown OF
France
The crown belongs to the state, and
the custodian of II Is the legitimate
representative Of the basilica of Mon
20. The title Of grand custodian, =
however. pertains to the head of the
order OF Cavaliers. -Harper's Weekly.

Objections to Senator Owens bill
for national department Of health
(senate Bill NO - have come largely
from followers Of various sects and
cults who feared that their business
Of treating the sick might be inter
fered with Many of the more sin.
eefe opponents of this much-needed
law are evidently too ignorant to un-
derstand that congress can exercise
only those powers which have been
delegated to II by the state, that the
regulation Of the practice Of medicine
stands on the same basis as the reg
ulation of other occupations and
trades, which is not function of con.
greas, and that any federal law at
tempting to regulate the practice OF
medicine in the states would be void
Repeated explanations have been
made that congress has no authority
te regulate the practice Of medicine Of
any other profession or calling IN any
state, and that the object Of the Owen
bill is the prevention and not the
treatment of disease Apparently
these explanations have not been con
yincing-- perhaps some people have
never heard Of them TO reassuro
those who are honestly opposing the
owen bin on account Of such a mis-
conception Senator owen mst week
introduced the following amendment
to his bill:
"That the department OF health es
tablished by this act shall have nc
power to regulate the practice Of medi
cine or the practice Of healing, or te
interfere with the right Of a citizen e

Oklahoma Is doomed 70 long seige
Of high taxes and grinding economy
It is perhaps true that no one In par
ticular Is to blame for present condi-
tions and no political party will be
able to bring relief instantaneously.
Kansas has been debt ridden state
for generation. but county after
county Of that splendid state has by
good business management gotten out
OF debt And SO II must NECESSARILY
be in Oklahoma. II behooYes every
county in this state TO begin at the
earliest possible moment the work Of
retrenchment and fiue business man
agement. Oklahoma went wild with
the magnitude of It's greatness. It's
boundless resources and It's unpre-
cedented growth The desire to do
great things seized the whole people
and we have gone peIl nell into the
quagmire Of reckless plunging and In
extrlcable debt and the grip Of high
taxes Is upon us. But It Is no time to
sit down and pine and grow hopeless
The courage and sense and business
ability Of the people Of Oklahoma will
win. The politicians must be throttiet
and clean non-partIsan business meth
DDS adhered to. It is a long fight and {
hard fight but not losing fight.

triangulation The same simple geo

EAST INDIAN RUNNERS.
kahars Who Can Regularly Mako .
Hundred Miles a pay

F'bFnTtO 1dys
Ordinary Marathon races seem rath-
er insignificant compared with the
regular performances of a certain east
Indian caste. These Kahars, also
known as Jhinwarb. live in the Pun
lab, where for centuries they have
acted as runners, fishermen and water
fowl catchers.
The men are trained runners and are
said to be able to go hundred miles a
day without resting. According to
Baily's Magazine, there is a well au-
thenticated instance that Tika Ram.
the son of Lalu Ram, carried dis
patches 300 miles in three days-from
Mean-Niir to Meerut.
The point discussed. however. is
whether the normal exertions of the
Kahar post runners and the similar ex-
ertions of jinrikisha men shortened
their lives, and 1t appears that the Ka-
hars, trained from childhood to be dis
tance runners. live to be old men. They
are not only able to withstand the
strain of running great distances un-
der heavy load. but thrive under il.
The jinrikisha man. too. notwith-
standing his irregular diet, excessive
use of liquor and exposure to the ele-
ments. lives to reasonable age. In
Tokyo when census was taken Of the
Jinrikisha men a few years ago there
were found to be more than 1900 who
were over fifty-five years of age.

on the character of this man. All
that could be said would only detract,
rather than add to his already over.
flowing cup of godliness. He was
familiarity known as Uncle Wash.
He answered to the call of every man,
woman and child in the community.
While suffering the greatest he never
for moment forgot the little woman
who has been his constant companion
and helpmate for so many, many
year. Besides being an l. o o. f., he
was member of the Highland Chap
ter, M. W. Of A. and was loved by all
his fraternal brothers. Mr.. Harvey
was devout church member and
whenever possible could be found in
his classes. Now there is one face
missing, one name less on the class
roll. God has given him his reward
and we are the losers. AS a friend
and husband none knew him better
than l., and as a true Christian he was
an example. In taking Uncle Wash
from us God has redeemed one of his
most priceless treasures and taken
from us man, the kind of which
there are entirely too few. In behalf
of Mrs. Harvey and relatives, l wish
to thank the friends and neighbors
for their kindness and sympathy in
this hour of great trouble. May Gods
choicest blessing be theirs.
