MUSICAL SENSE IN FLOWERS.

Remarks the London World: "a
German professor has discovered
that flowers possess musical sense,
and betray their individual natures
by expanding their petals under the
influence of certain melodies. Roses
prefer old-fashioned airs ; peonies. he
finds, blush deeper hue when they
hear the volcanic vanities of Wag-
ner; violets are no longer modest
when serenaded bymodern composers,
and lilies simply close their wearied
bells at the sound Of the waltz. Pic
ture to yourself the learned professor
on tour round his garden with a
small but select orchestra, specially
engaged, making sweet music to his
flower beds, anxiously watching for
startling effects! I wonder, by the
way, what tune would rouse a snap
dragon to protest. And what terri
bic cataclysm would happen if Sou
sa's exciting compositions were
played in the orchid house?"

J. J. ingaIls' Beautiful Description Of
Grass, Which Covers tho Scars
Man Has Made.

Lying in the sunshine among the
buttercups and the dandelions of
May, scarcely higher in intelligence
than the minute tenants of that
mimic wilderness, our earliest recol-
lections are of grass; and when the
fitful fever is ended and the foolish
wrangle of the market and forum is
closed, grass heals over the scar
which our descent into the bosom Of
the earth has made. and the carpet
of the infant becomes the blanket of
the dead. Grass is the forgiveness
Of Nature her constant benedicticn.
Fields trampled with battle, saturat-
ed with blood, torn with the ruts Of
cannon, grow green again with grass,
and carnage is forgotten. Streets
abandoned by tSf1ic become grass
crown like rural lanes and are oblit-
Grated. Forests decay, harvests per-
ish, flowers vanish, but grass is inn
mortal. Beleaguered by the sullen
hosts of winter, it withdraws into
the impregnable fortress of its sub
terranean vitality and energies upon
the first solicitation Of spring. Sown
by the winds, by the wandering
birds, propagated by the subtle agri-
culture of the elements which are its
ministers and servants, it softens the
rude outline Of the world. 1t bears
no blazonry Of bloom to charm the
senses with fragrance or splendor,
but its homely hue is more enchant-
ing than the lily or the rose. It
yields no fruit in earth or air, and
yet, should its harvest fail for a
single year, famine would depopulate
the world.-John ]. ingalls,.

ALONG CLASSIC LINES.

One of the most perfect types Of
classic buildings in America, accord
ing to architects, has been built by
the United States government at
Denver, Colo, to be used as a post
office and to house the various fed
eral Offices in that city with the ex-
ception of the mint, says Popular
Mechanics. The building is of pure
white marble from Colorado quarries
and is e1O feet long by 1870 feet deep
and four stories in height. The style
is a type of Roman. architecture
adapted to modern conditions, and
the facades are regarded as notable
in the faithfulness of their classic
lines. On each of the longer sides
there are sixteen massive columns,
and on the shorter sides six columns.
Symbolic statuary is used in groups
and in single figures to relieve the
building Of the severity Of its gen.
eral outlines, the entire structure
giving an idea Of simple beauty that
makes it a striking example of public
building architecture.

Matter Of Convenience That Led to
Demand for Establishment Of
Financial Institution.

Harry L. Confer, chief clerk IN
the bank department in the Office Of
the auditor Of state, spent an hour
a few days ago trying to convince a
budding financier that the ordinary
village in Indiana cannot support
more than one bank properly, and
that demands for second banks in
such places could usually be traced
to some purpose other than legitf-
mate banking.
EsWhen I was in a bank in Elk
hart" he said, II was approached
one afternoon by small merchant
on the South side, who asked if our
bank wouldn't consider a proposal to
establish a branch in his part of the
city. / told him that under the new
law we were not permitted to estab-
fish branches, and asked him why he
was anxious to have a bank in his
neighborhood, where there we've only
small shops and good banks within
a dozen blocks.
"sWe fellows down there some
times have a lot Of trouble about get
ting change he replied, and we
thought if we could have a bank
down there, it would be handy p

NEW KIND OF RAILROAD HOG
He Attempts to Keep Two Seats So
As to Be on Shady Side
Of Car.

A man who frequently uses the In
terurban cars out Of Indianapolis re-
ports a new kind of railroad hog.
81 boarded the car at the Denison
hotel corner" he said, "and noticed
there was only one seat outside the
smoking compartment not occupied
by some person, and it had in it a
large suit case. In the aisle directly
across from the suit case was fat
man who evidently did not belong
to this part of the country and was
unacquainted with the geography.
81 moved the suit case to the aisle
and took the seat. After we had left
the city and started across the coun-
try the fat man scowled at me,
picked up the suit case and, going
into the smoker, sat down in va
cant seat on the same side of the
car where I was sitting, the shady
side.
Evidently he had tried to make
sure Of two seats, so as to be able
to select the one on the shady side
after the car had started on it's cross
country route, but my removal of his
suit case had spoiled his PLAN"

PLEA FOR COUNTRY LIFE.

In an address on "City Congestion
and Farm Desolation," the Rev. DR..
Joseph Krauskopf of Philadelphia
makes strong plea for the National
Farm school, near Philadelphia, of
which he is president. Pastoral pur-
suits, he says, are potent remedies
against the evils which grow out of
congestion in the parts Of the cities
into which foreign immigrants drift.
The resources Of the farm school are
limited, the dormitories accommo-
dating only eighty-fve students, and
for the purpose Of charging the in
stitution' and increasing its activities
DR.. Krauskopf asks all who are in
terested to become members.

GOOD LIGHT OPERA THEME.

A new light opera is founded on
the romantic career of Baron Trenck,
an Austrian soldier Of fortune.
Strangely enough, there are two Gel
ebrated Adventures of this name.
They were cousins, both were dare
devil fighters, both had prison cpl
sodes in their checkered careers, and
both had tragic ends-one being a
suicide, the other victim of the
French revolution. The opera cele-
brates tile career of the elder Trenck.

election. And if this is the sentiment
in North Dakota is it conceivable that
the same opinion does not obtain wide
by in other states of the west and
northwest and along the northern bor-
der?
In the light of the North Dakota re
turns, it is easy to understand the
subterfuges the Taft leaders are re
sorting to prevent a primary where
they can, There need be no further
argument as to why the Taft forces
don't want to let the people decide
their case. No wonder the admins
tration throws up its hands in horror
at the notion of letting the people rule
in the matter of presidential nOmina-
Itions.
The real reason that the standpat
republicans are determined to join
through the nomination of Taft, if POS
sible, is the desire to keep a grip on
the organization, even if Taft, after
nomination. is i'licked to frazzle" in

University Graduate Makes Good.

Robert II. Riley. who graduated
from Oklahoma University with the
class of 1910, is one of the products of
the state school who is rapidly making
a name for himself Riley is now chief
clerk and first assistant in the state
department of health with headquar-
ters in Oklahoma City He has just
finished an active campaign against
the meningitis infection which has
been threatening many parts of the
state. He declares that all danger
from this dread disease will practically
end with warm spring weather Riley
has taken an active interest in the
fight being waged in Oklahoma against
tuberculosis and is secretary-treasurer
of both the state and the Oklahoma
county anti-tuberculosis associations.
He insists that under proper treatment
these diseases can be cured in Okla
homa as in Arizona, California and
other climates. A short time ago Mr..
Riley wrote a pamphlet on the disease
.Pellagra' which at present is proving
an enigma to the scientific world 1t
was illustrated with pictures of patti
ents taken by himself. The paper
elected many compliments from the

University Medical School has ordered
the paper bound and placed in the

publican, he favored Majority Leader
Underwood of the house OF representa-
tives. His second choice is President
Taft.
Tie declared that former President
Roosevelt is a foe to good govern
ment' and dangerous man..
Think of the democratic party nomi-
mating a man put forward by Standard
Oil, which holds him up to the nation
as a more desirable occupant Of the
White House than Taft himself. Stan
dard oil and other big business is
certain of the denomination of Presi-
dent Taft, and this element is now
struggling to control enough state del
egations to the Baltimore convention
to nominate a candidate who will be
equally desirable Big business is
fighting in every part of the country
for control of the democratic party in
the hope of defeating the nomination
of a real progressive at Baltimore As
is disclosed by Mr. Rockefeller, the
Alabama congressman meets the un-
qualified approval of that element
1t is a natural deduction that the
candidacy OF Mr. Underwood typifes
the Standard Oil companys conception
of good government, which in the last
analysis is Let us and our affairs
alone" Under that policy the Stand
ord Oil company has flourished like
the green bay tree, Mr.. Underwood
may not relish the adulation of Mr..
Rockefeller at this particular moment,
but his well-established views on pub
lie questions have prepared the way
for the compliment conveyed by the
Big Chief of Big Business.

OSCAR UNDERWOOD
INTERESTS CHOICE

New York, March 27.-(Special)-
When William Rockefeller. brother OF
John D., and the real active directing
and financial head of Standard Oil, de-
elared in favor of the nomination of
Oscar W. Underwood as the demo-
cratic nominee for the presidency
there was little surprise in political
circles. That the active and militant
head of the standard Oil trust should
express his preference for Mr. Under
wood was in the nature of the very
fitness of things. 1t harmonizes with
the known attitude of other equally
great captains of industry. and for
the directing chieftain of the greatest
CT all the monopolies in the history
of the world to give his endorsement
to Mr.. Underwood came along in the
natural course of events anticipated.

with big business for fair weather and
smooth sailing.
Mr.. Rockefeller is lifelong member
of the republican party, who has never
voted for democrat. but this fact did
not embarrass him in the least in de-
claring that Mr.. Underwood is his
choice above all others for the presi-
dency of the United States. Mr.. Rock
efeller's declaration in favor of the
Alabamian was no haphazard remark,
but was furnished to the Associated
Press, and carried by wire to its thou

His Ideas on the State

Oklahoma City, March 27-W H.
Murray Of TisAomingo was in the city
Saturday and discussed the selection
of a successor to Fred P. Branson of
Muskogee, who will tender his resigna-

democratic central committee when
that body meets April 6.
1t is understood that Mr.. Murray
favors d. r. Linebaugh Of Atoka for
the place. Linebaugh was permanent
chairman of the democratic state con-
vention at this place and was a leader
of the Wilson forces prior to the state
convention. He was here Saturday
and was in conference with Mr.. Muir
ray and number of friends. He is
not member of the committee, but
that body is not restricted to it's own
membership in the selection of state
chairman, although an informal rule to
that effect has been followed In an
interview on the subject of the chair

HARRISON THEATRE COMPANY ,
STILL MAKING GOOD

The promise of the Harrison Theatre
company that those attend the Grand
last night would see as good show
as they ever say in any threatre was
well kept. The Grand was again pack
ed to overflow by the theatregoers of
Vinita, who were so well pleased on
the opening night of this company
here that it is probable that every
night will see standing room at a
premium. The play last/night was
entirely different from that of the
previous night. It was a society COM
edy drama with plenty of emotion to
make it very interesting. 1t is a play
taken from every day life, the story
of an ambitious mother who sees only
the advantages of social power and
marries her daughter to rich but UNI
educated man. The direful results that
must follow such a union were shown,
but the playwright cIeverly brings the
two together, at the end, in happiness.
The character of Jim Bailey, the
rich, generous but ignorant husband,
who later acquires an education, was
handled by MIR Chas. Harrison in a
way that left no doubt in the minds of
the audience that it was hearing an
action of more than usual ability. Mr..
Harrison is in a class by himself in
repertoire shows. His work is far
ahead of many stars of the one night
performances seen here. Guy b. Nc
Donald, as Dad Bailey, was equally as
good as Mr. Harrison. Both of the
parts handled by these men were diff
cult and both we're portrayed most per-
fectly. Matte E. Mcdonald, as the
ambitious but unscrupulous mother
was fine and the audience applauded
her work. although the character she
played was one the crowd despised.
Gertrude Harrison, as Jim Bailey's
wife was superb This is a character
that few repertoire players could at.
tempt to play It was strong enough
! for the best emotional actress in the
land. The audience however was
more than pleased with the way in
which it was handled last night. These
four people have ability far ahead Of
many players Of the higher priced
shows.
With such shows as that produced
last night and on Monday night there
| is little doubt that each night this
week will see the Grand packed to its
fullest capacity
Tonight they present Chas. Harri-
sons Indian war drama in four acts
THE Signal Fire The scenes are
laid at a military post near Larmie
