Washington, May 16, 191

The state undertook to tax unre-

puted the states authority to do So

exempt from taxation for twenty-one
years from the date of patent so long

of the season, which went two innings

for the financiers while Bill Greable
took a graceful defeat as HEAVIER for
the Milford Bergers. No game of the

KATE BERNARD
IS IN TRAINING
Kate Barnard Will Work For Three
Laws in Oklahoma.

Kansas City, Mo-, May H. Kate
Barnard, state commissioner of chari-
ties for Oklahoma, is going into train
iing for the battle of her life. The gin
gerry little campaigner is at the Balti-
/ more and today will leave for Kinks
vile, Mo-, where she will go into train
ing quarters. Some months since she
found herself upon the verge of a
nervous breakdown, and had to take
rest. She improved her intermittent
vacation by climbing mountains and
scurrying over deserts and reforming
the management of an eleemosynary
institution here and there.
They do say that it is quite eXcit-
ing to see Kate Barnard rest. But
this is to be a real rest for a week or
two, and it is to put fine fighting
edge upon Oklahoma's humanitarian
hope" When that rest is over, there
is going to be something doing all
along the line in Oklahoma. Miss
Barnard is feeling rather fit and all
she wants is few good workouts, and
then--but here's the programme:
In the first place, | want court
of rehabilitation, said she, "and, in
cidentally, I am going to get it. This
proposed court of rehabilitation is to
be body of three men, who will sit
as court in the prisons and consider
the cases of the man who has earned
his way out
He will be sent free only when he
is fit to be free-when he is cured.
Il shall also advocate the enactment
of law based upon the Kentucky or
phan act The only authority to con-
sent to the adoption or guardianship
of a child in Kentucky is the county
court. The court is bound TO make
sure by contract that the child has a
good home, be given so many months
of schooling each year, proper care in
sickness and the like.
The third law for which ! propose
to work is one providing for the scien-
tific care of the insane"
Somewhat of job for woman
about as big as a minute, but If you
have any doubt that something like
this is going to happen in Oklahoma,
you haven't seen Kate Barnard, Okla
homas Humanitarian hope" Then,
too, she goes into training.

Just Before It's Bedtime
THE CHANGING FEATHERS.

~ AR away out West, in the Rocky
- mountains. there lives a bird
whose home In up among the
high peaks, where there are only
brown rocks In summer and cleaning
white snow In winter. II is called the
Ptarmigan, and, IL you did not know
better, you would think there were two
different birds, for In summer Its feath-
ers are brown. just like the color OF
the rocks II lives among, but In winter,
when the mountains are covered with
snow, It's feathers are as white as the
Now, a long. long time ago. when the
world was SO young that all the cats
were kittens and all the dogs puppies,
and there weren't any grown people at
had the most beautiful pIumase OF all
the birds Every feather was as gor-
geous as q peacock. and. when the sun
or moon shone upon them, day or night,
the feathers glittered so that you could
see IL for ever so far.
Now this was all very nice for the
Ptarmigan, who, OF course. wanted TO
look beautiful, but the poor bird found
that being beautiful had its troubles,
| for its giitterins feathers made It so
plainly visible to the foxes that prowied
, over the mountains that II was hard To
hide from them. All Its uncles and
| aunts and cousins were caught by the
foxes, and at length there was none Of
them left but the one poor lone bird
In great distress It went TO the King OF
| the gnomes. who lived In the mountain.
| and said: "Oh, King. my feathers are
| 30 bright that I cannot hide from the
foxes. They have caught my uncles and
aunts and all my cousins. and there Is
none left but me-" Then the King q
| the gnomes answered:
| II cannot help you, Ptarmigan. and
am In trouble myself. for my wife put
| all my magic In my big cafe In the high
| peak the other day and shut the door.
| Now there is a lock ON II that will not
I open for a year and a day. And -
| will be without magic until then. And
what makes It worse Is that the Wicked
| Witch has heard about IL and Ia plotting :

/ tools she has and steal my magic. II
| could only know what she and .her Ivil
| sisters intend doing I can prevent them.
| but they ny around on their broom

| nigan, instead OF being able TO heln

| Wicked Witch ever gets my magic I am
| forever powerlers.
| 81 will try to help you" said the kind
| hearted Ptarmigan. for I can fiy as
fast as the Wicked witch, and ! will
listen to what she says and tell you.

piled the gnome King. for II was sum-

Just then II saw a chicken wallowing In
| the dust as chickens do to drive the

IT know what I will do" thought the
| Ptarmigan. and. getting down In the
dust, II wallowed until II was dusty and
