the janitor. "Who was the CENT?"
He was a poet"
Then it's hardly likely that he

mand the rent in advance"
The new school teacher in a rural
town gave a boy a question in COM
pound proportion for home work one
evening. 1t included the circumstance
of 'men working ten hours a day to
complete a certain work."
The next morning the teacher, in
looking over the little pack Of exer
cises. found this boys sum wholly
uninterrupted. Calling him to her,
she asked him why he had not tried
to 10 the sum.
The boy, after considerable FUN
bling around in his pockets, brought
forth a note from his father and
handed it to her. Unfolding it, the
teacher read:
"Miss-I refuse to let my boy do his
sum you give him rs it looks to me
to be a slur at eight hour sistum
emmy sum not more than eight hours
he is welcome to do but not more"
Well, did you discover anything
in Stump's past life that we a use
against him."
Detective-Not a thing. All he ever
did before he came here was to sell
awnings.
Election Agent-Why that's Just
what we want. Well say that he
has been mixed up in some decidedly
shady transactions.

CAPTAIN GEORGE
 NEEDS MACHINERY
May Leave on the Sampson for San Francisco--Property
 Looks Fine.

Captain George, who returned from his claims on Bettles bay, which he is developing, feels very sanguine about the property, and predicts it will soon be one of the producers. He has had two men working the past winter driving a tunnel in 40 feet, after which a shaft was sunk for 70 feet follow ing the ore vein, which is from four inches to two feet wide. As says received from samples of the ore range from Sl00 to 500 d ton.
 The captain will leave for San Francisco probably on the Samp- son and will purchase machinery which will be installed this sum- mcr and he hopes to have the claims on a producing basis be- fore fall.
 J. W. Mcfarland is associated with Captain George in the devrl- upmrnt of the. property.

THIS PENCIL WILL
 WRITE IN THE DARK

A recent invention that will prove of value [" doctors, detect- ives. reporters. policemen, OF any one. iu fact. who has occasion to write ur to. take notes; in the dark, is that of a pencil that furnish es it's own light as it's point pass Ees along over the surface of the paper.
 The idea is simplicity itself. It of a pencil that has, in |the tube through which the point for writing protrudes. a small ac- !cumnlatnr and an electric lamp. This lamp throws small disk of light. so small tha it can be hid den by the hand, yet this light. is quite sufficient to guide the writ CT in moving the point of his pen cii for the proper formation of characters.
 Notes could be taken at the theater when the house was in darkness. doctors would find many uses for it. detectives in hiding could make brief notes as they proceeded with their duties and the very busy reporter would find a thousand and one uses for it almost any month in the year. Although the light is purposely very small and weak, yet one might locate a keyhole or a house. number with it.

ANOTHER FAKE /. 1 |S EXPLODED
< About the Same Value as < Sea Water.

During the past winter there
 have been persistent, reports of
 the discovery of gold and other valuable ores in the vicinity of Albion, Pushmataha county, Okla.. some finds being reported as cX- ceeding $50 a ton and some even as approaching a value of $500 a ton. IL has been known ill the Interior department that several mining companies" have been or
 are being organized on the basis of these assertions and that many
 persons have been induced to in- vest in the stock. The excitement produced by the alleged rich Nal-
 urs has resulted in requests for an authoritative examination of ! Inc lands and the temporary suS- pension of the sales of the tracts of Indian lands on or near which | the supposed finds were located.
 Although from it's general knowl- edge of the geology of the region ! The Geological Survey reported that there is no Likelihood that the area contains commercial quail tities of gold, the reports and the demands were so persistent that by direction of the Secretary of the Interior a field examination
 was made last month by Henry G. Ferguson, associate geolOgist of the Survey. Mir. Ferguson reports
 the entire absence, so far as can be recognized in the field, of gold
 or other. metals in commercial quantities: There is not the

DIRECT ELECTION
 0F SENATORS
History of Seventeenth Amend ment to the Constitution; ." Started in 1926.

With the ratification of the di- rect election of senators amend
 ment is ended a reform first de- manded in congress in 1926. Scn- timent for change has develOp- ed 1nore rapidly since the adop- 1ion of primary election laws whereby the electors of many 1 states have dictated their choice for senators to the. legislature The immediate eHect of primary laws has been to make the Sen ate more responsive to quick changes of political sentiment. and this will be accentuated, it is believed by the constitutional
 amendmrnt now adopted.
 The original theory in rSlab- i fishing the choice of senators was ] that they represented the states. whereas the members of he 1 House represented the people of their districts. It was because of i this theory of the state as unit that all staIrs, large and small, were given equal representation in the Senate, Rhode Island hav- ing the same number as New York or Pennsylvania. In the theory of the Constitution fram- CTS, this entity of the state was fthus made more distinct under the federal system and the state legislature was regarded as the .suitable medium for expressing this state entity. Eater it was trontended that state entity would still be yreserved:if thespeople of the entire, state. :fhsteaaf of: the legislatufe, ,ehoss; t1ie S;:.'

THOUSANDDOLLAR
ORE STRUCK IN
SWAST|KA
Discovery Occurred In
Drifting on 300
Foot Level
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Arrivals from the Bradshaw noun
tains yesterday reported that there
was prevailing considerable discus
sion over the striking of the highest
grade silver ore ever known, in the
Swastika
The discovery occurred in drifting
on the 300-foot level, where the
shoot cut into revealead galena ore
body that carried over 1000 ounces
of silver to the ton. Shipping is to
be resumed Immediately, as a large
tonnage is being stored.
But little publicity was given to
this important determination, but
the news nevertheless is authentic,
and has had the effect of making
adjacent mine owners enthusiastic
over their holdings.
