Pennell sat in the witness chair ap-

Valuable Beetle Now.

Not long ago Washington scient-
list, an enthusiastic student of natural
history, captured fine specimen OF
beetle. On reaching home he, in a
moment of haste, pinned the beetle
to library table with his diamond
scarfpin.
When he returned to the library
from his dinner, he found the captive
had got loose and was flying about
with the diamond pin glistening from
his back.
Man and bug made rush for the
window at the same instant, says
Harpers Weekly. The beetle got
there first and triumphantly sailed
away, barely eluding the scientists
hand. Neither bug nor pin has since
been seen.

COURT HOUSE BURNS.
Destruction of Jay, OKLA, Building
May Reopen County Seat War
Between Two Towns.

Muskogee, Okla, May 31.-The
county court house at Jay, Okla, was
burned last night and all the records
Of Delaware county were destroyed.
1t is believed the court house was
set on fire as result of the bitter
court house fight in that county. The
court house was a two-story frame
structure and there was a general
mercantile establishment on the first
floor.
All the county offices were on the
second floor. The records of the reg.
lister of deeds and the Treasurer were
in a vault, but it is believed that they
also were destroyed All the criminal
records Of the county were burned.
This was the building around which
one hundred armed men threw up
breastworks and kept guard for four
weeks, defying court order and all
efforts of the officers to move the
records to New Jay, half mile dis
tant.

Perhaps 1t would not be so easy to

seem afraid it would be. Perhaps all
the pow-wow about becoming desexed
is superfuous. Weininger calls atten-

people who are anatomically men and
psychically women, there is no such
thing as person who is anatomically
woman and psychically man. How

woman's psychic qualities remain dis.
