 ed, AutOists Say.

The laugh is going the rounds on four we'll known young men of the city who were automobiling several miles out the Sulphur Springs pike recently when their machine went dead, and a novel method was used to rehabilitate the relalcitrant auto suffi- ciently to bring them back to the city.
 All the necessary requisites for a delightful ride and luncheon with "wet goods,'' cracked ice, etc., had been prepared when it was discovered that there was not sufficient water in the radiator" to keep the engine cool.> The machine went to dead stop and there was not a house in sight and none of the party knew the location of a we'll closer than the springs or the city. The prospects of walk five or six miles home did not appeal to any of the four and they were rackins their brains for clue to relieve their predicament.
 Suddenly one of them yelled, "l have it. and he made dash for the hunk of ice and the joy water The trio watched him with interest. He proceeded to knock the tops off the bottles and this done, took wrench and broke the ice into small chunks. The tro's interest increased to as- tonishment as the one with the idea started to pour the licensed liquid in to the radiator. They remonstrated with him at wasting so much good .wetness" but he said he didn't feel like hiking back to town on his tril- bies, and to cinch the argument, Of fered to buy 'ssome more" if they got back Into the yawning radiator went all the dope and then the ice, which had been broken into small pieces, followed.
 Strong arm grabbed the crank and in minute the engine was chugglng away, but it's unsteadiness was appar- ent. On returning to the city they dis posed of about twice as much of the wet goods as they had taken in the auto.

Oklahoma Hioher Courts.

Oklahoma City, Oct. 10.-Titles to
property the value Of which probably
will reach millions OF dollars were set
tied in an opinion by Justice Williams
OF the supreme court, reversing and re-
mandlng the case of w. ii. Dewalt
against Silas A. Cune and others, ap-
peaIed from the district court of
Mayes county. It was held that a
county court having acquired jurisdic-
tIon of the person and estate of a
minor may order the sale of the land
Of such minor, situated in another
county. The court may also confirm
such sale and order a guardians deed
TO be made in obedience to the order
Of sale.
Under the statutes existing at state-
hood no sale of minors or inSompe-
tents estate could be made except by
the county court having jurisdiction TO
appoint a guardian. Such jurisdiction
once obtained was co-extensiye with
the state and to the exclusion OF any
other county. This was not changed
by the constitution, the court holds.
Other opinions by Justice Williams
were:
Ruth Gray. by next friend VS.. j. IL.
Connell, president and manager of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
at Stillwell, Payne county, reversed
in part, sustained in part; Lee May
VS.. James Fitzpatrick, Grady county

Tennis In Japan.

The Japanese have displayed pc.
culiar aptitude for lawn tennis. To
many Indianapolis players the sight
of an expert Japanese on the park
courts is not uncommon. Among the
best amateur players in the city are
Japanese house servants. What they
lack in height they more than make
up in agility They seem to be indie
fatigable. Tennis, like baseball is
steadily growing in popularity in Ja-
pan. The former has become IA.
vorite among Japanese high school
and college students. intercollegiate
games have also become popular
among the students and their friends.
Among the well-known institutions
that have large number Of enthusi.
astic tennis players are the following;
Toxic Higher Normal school Toxic
Commercial school (higher), Waseda
university, Toxic Kyoto university,
Kyoto; Third high school, Kyoto.
The foreign communities in the yari-
Gus ports, Yokohama, Kobe and Ma.
gasaki, have tennis clubs The lead
ing foreign club at Yokohama is
known as the Ladies' Lawn Tennis
club. Tennis rackets are already be-
ing manufactured In Japan, there be-
Ing fix factories In Toxic alone.

The Creature sprang From the Water


when asked what they thought the
thing was. =
The creature measures 8 feet 4
inches from the head to the end Of the
tail. The tail alone measures feet.
The head resembles the head OF a
large snapper" and is not unlike that
Of an alligator. 1t has twenty teeth,
some short and ragged, while those In
the front are shaped like dogs,
long and pointed.
On its broad dgray back are scales
from one to two inches in length.
which overlap one another. The crea-
ture has four feet, like those of an al.
ligator. When standing It would be
about a foot from the ground. The
tail, shaped like huge cone, resem-
bles the tail Of an alligator.
A number Of the Oldest fishermen
believed at first that the creature was
a lizard more than two centuries old,
while others declared that the thing
answers to the description of the 'Jer-
sey devil, which several years ago
gave the entire eastern states a fright
The thing viii be kept by Mr.. Miller
at his bath house and placed on exhi-
bition for few days. In the mean
time the scientific authorities at
Washington have been asked to exam
inc the creature and pass judgment as
to what II may be.

The color OF blood is due chiefly to
iron in the little blood cells. When
the iron is kept in these little blood
cells, which are living and travelling
around in the blood vessels, the color
is red. Hit the skin hard enough to
break some of the little blood vessels
beneath the surface and the little red
cells escape from the injured blood
vessels, wander around for q while
in the tissues. and die.
When they die the iron that made
them red before then changes to
black-and-blue coloring. After while
this iron is taken up by the glands
called the lymphaties and made over
again into nice red cells. The iron
Is taken up very much more quickly
by the lymphatics II the black-and-
blue spot is rubbed and massaged.
