West Advises Delay.

George w. Vincent, the same men,

ton for injunction, several days ago

bill in question:, is canvassed, | ad-
wise against disposition of the Vim

answer appears non-committal on the
face of 1t, it may be that the attorney
general merely is waiting for the an

and the proclamation of the governor
making the bill a law, to advise
against the payment of this claim and

1t is considered likely in many quar-

a basis for an action which finally will
determine the legality of the bill. it
is the general opinion that. if the

GOVERNOR CRUCE
IS IN A HURRY
Calling of Special Session to Confirm
Appointments Opposed.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 29.-Some op-
position is being expressed against
the action of Governor Cruce in call
ing special session of the senate TO
confirm his appointments. Senator Sid
Garrett of Muskogee district Is one
who believes that the executive should
have waited until the regular sessions
to bring up these matters,
On the whole, however, the Musko-
gee county delegation will favor the
governors legislative programme for
the regular session, with the possible
exception of the capitol appropriation
matter.
Every possible effort is being made
| by friends of the old state board of
education to upset the governors plan
of securing confirmation of his new
appointees on that board by the SEN
ate in special session A very cross
fire may be centered upon other ap-
pointees by the governor, principally
the state fish and game warden and
board of public affairs.
It is being rumored that some OF
the book companies, which did not get
contracts from the old board of educa-
tion when it made its recent adoption,
may lend secret assistance in secur-
ling the confirmation of the new board
members.

FINDING WATER
WITH FORkEO STICK

The United States Geological Sur
vey states in Water-Supply Paper 255,
entitled Underground Waters for
Farm Use," just reissued, that no ap-
pliance, either mechanical or electric,
has yet been devised that will detect
water in places where plain common
sense and close observation will not
show its presence just as well. Num-
erous mechanical devices have been
proposed for detecting the prence of
underground water, ranging in com
plevity from the simple forked branch
of witch hazel peach, or other tree to
more or less elaborate mechanical or
electric contriyances. Many Of the
operators of these devices, especially
those who use the home-cut forked
branch, are entirely honest in the be
lief that the working of the rod is in
fiuenced by agencies - usually re
garded as electric currents following
underground streams of water-that
are entirely independent of their own
bodies, and many people have i'm
plicit faith in their own and others
ability to locate underground water IN
this way. In experiments with roc
made from a forked branch it seemed
to turn downward at certain points
independent of the operators will, but
more complete tests showed that this
downturning resulted from slight and

lar action, the effects of which wer'

by other men of science is correct
that the operation of the "divinini
rod is generally due to unconsciou
movements of the body or OF th
muscles of the hand The experiment

Dear Mrs. Thompson-How can I

A very good paste which will not

Mix the -four thoroughly with cold
water and boil it gently. 1t is white
and transparent and will keep indefi-
nitely if little carbolic acid is mixed
with it.
Dear Mrs. Thompson have
very dear friend-or l did have-but
the other day l heard something that
he did and it made me very angry.
l was so angry that wrote him about
it and 1t was very unkind letter. l
have just found that what I heard
wasn't true, but l suppose he will new
er forgive me now. What shall do
about it? l am almost heartbroken.
UNHAPPY GIRL
It is too bad that you were so hasty.
When one hears reports about a very
dear friend, one should not judge so
quickly, but at least take time to in
vestigate before condemning or accus-
ing the friend.
But now the mischief is done in
your case. and if your friend is very
much hurt it will be difficult to undo.
About all you can do 10 to write
him another letter and apologize. Tell
him that you regretted 1t the moment
| after you had mailed that letter. when
you had time to think and to remem-
Der how really trustworthy you had al
ways found him. Ask him to forgive
your hasty and thoughtless action and
tell him that you willnot again be g1ul-
; ty of such a breach of friendship as
to quickly believe anything detrmen-
tai of him when In your heart you
| know better.
If he is bighearted and generous,
he will forgive your letter; but the
fact that at the first opportunity you
believed i'll of him, will pro badly
rankle in his soul for many a day.
You cant mistrust or abuse a real
ly good friend and keep him, too.

which he always pronounced Christ

these ladies observed that 1t must be

going to produce the symphony at one

On the eventful night Faneln him
self took a seat with the musicians.
Tears came into his eyes as he heard
the first strains Of his work, neglected
for so many years. He was not alone
in his emotion, however. for as the
music proceeded tears came into the
eyes Of the other musicians, the d.

them by storm. When II was over a

composer alone sat quiet, as If in deep

over to Pierne, and with a full heart

said, taking his leave. Good night

Pierne wondered at this strange fare,
well, but at last the meaning dawned
on him. The applause that was still
ringing through the hall had brought

In his youth Fanelli had been cour-

of the music he was going to write for
the world to hear and admire. But
misfortune followed misfortune. He
found it impossible to get a hearing
for his compositions, and one by one
his dreams began to fade.

Fanelli. all hope crushed by continued

Dear Mrs Thompson: l am engag-

her to marry a gentleman.
Now Mrs. Thompson, I am a work

enough for my girl, but l don't think
anybody else is good enough for he
either. and if she is willing to marry
me and her mother thinks am o. X,
do you think l ought to care what her
father says?
l agree with you that a working
man can be a gentleman. In fact
have known many workingmen who
were much more gentlemanly in their
actions and the kindness of their
hearts, than some men who think they
are gentlemen because of their birth
or wealth.
The girl undoubtedly loves her ia.
