COLD WAVE REACHES CREST.
Relief in This Section After Three
"Strenuous" Nights.

The crest of the cold wave has pass
ed and the clink of the plumbers
hammer is heard in the land. With
fall to four above zero registered at
six o'clock this morning the coolest
point in the present blizzard has been
reached in this section. While the
mercury registered several degrees
lower this morning than it did yester-
day morning, at the same time the
suffering was much less on account OF
the fact of the winds abatement.
With the rising of the sun tie ther-
letters all over this city began 20
climb skyward and at noon today
things began to look as though the
sun would win the battle against the
blizzard and the gas company
But throughout the city there is
wailing and deep thought cuss words
among the good housewives as they
wade about their bath roms watching
the plumber pile up his bank account
by the hour.

ENFORCE TIE LAWS We HAVE.

ENFORCE IHE LeHo HE 1tsG'
The Oklahoma City Times IN is
issue Of January Z, axis, In an ably
written editorial. that a law be enact
ed governing the running Of automo-
biles and ray ~ part. There should
be incorporated into the law clause
that would provide heavy penalty
for the chauffeur who is caught run
ming car while he is In an in,o1!cat-
ed condition. He IL a menace
" society"
Query: !, not any kind Of drunk
en- man q menace 70 society? and
query-Are not the men who sell In
tOucatlng liquors 10 anyone, chauf-
feur or ordinary humans. in violation
Of the prohibitory laws Of this state,
criminals and as such, meDaces 70
gCciety?
The tronble with Oklahoma-wlth
every state in the union, with the un-
ion itEelf, for that matter, is that ''e
are TOO prone TO continue burdening
our statutes with a multiplicity OF
laws which, through their non-eni'rf g.
ment. become and remain dead let
terB."
The embodiment Of a clause such as
advocated IN the Times editorial
would be q good law in Missouri, II
would be good in kentucky or Texas
or Ohio or any wet" state, but in
prohibition Oklahoma, it would prove,
at best. but a surplusage, would ad-
yertige our state as one wherein the
prohibition laws are winked at and
would make the unfortunate chauffeur
who had no control over his desire
Tor strong drink, the goat" amenable
to the laws which an unsCrupulous
dealer primarily had broken
Oklahoma is prohibition state.
The man who sells intoxicating liquors
10 anyone in this state is much a
breaker Of the state laws as Is the
man who commits murder. The
man who takes another's money, CIV
ing him in exchange commodity, tie
traffic In which the law says Is He
climate, is just as much a criminal
al the man who purlOins another )
purse, or who sand-bags him and
lifts his yaluables. And if, in Ok
lahoma City or anywhere else in the
state. the proper officers of the law
condone his offense, they have failed
in the discharge of their official du-
ties and have violated their oaths OF
Office.
We do not seek TO criticise the spir-
IT which prompted the writer OF the
Times article to transcribe his sentl-
ments and send them broadcast over
the land. II Is evident that he was
prompted by desire to see enacted
"a law in the interests OF the welfare
of society. But has he not overlooked
the fact that II the laws we have
the laws which should govern the trat-
fic in intoxicants, are enforced accord
ing TO their letter, there will be no
menace to society" to be removed
by the enactment Of law containing
the clause he advocates?

may not think that prohibition is n

CARELESS WITH GOLD.
Any Old Thing Serves the klondikers
For Holding Nuggets,

Persons who are accustomed to OBJ
serve the extreme care with which
bankers handle gold would be aston
ished by the lax methods of the men
who risk their lives for the precious
metal in sparsely settled regions
where it is mined.
In the log cabins in which Klondik-
ers live 1t has to take its chance along
with boots. cooking utensils and pro-
visions. waiting to be transported by
the most expeditions route. Any re-
ceptacle, it seems. is good enough to
hold gold. Old tobacco cans and fruit
and vegetable cans stand full Of mug
gets on the shelves, and sacks of gold
lust are flung upon the floor.
On one occasion a little pack train
OF three mules brought to Dawson
City 100000 worth Of gold in COM
mon sacks. over which the mule driv-
er. acting on his own responsibility,
fastened a bit of sailcloth. lest a mule
falling on a rock or against a branch
should accidentally rip open a sack
and spill the contents. The whole lot
was thrown with other goods into the
packers office and left there until the
following morning.
At another time $4,000 worth was
sent down on one horse. The packer
in charge did not know who had given
it to him and there was no sign Of
ownership attached. 1t was identified
by the fact that within the larger
sack of dust was 8 small sack of mug
gets.
The bags are not sealed. but merely
tied with a leather thong or a bit of
twine.-Chicago Record Herald.

Eyes, said Mr.. Pater, with i'll con

son so bound had to teach the other all
he could of his trade Or profession,
while the other had to watch and learn
how things were done and had to make
himself useful in every way possible"

QUEER GREETINGS.
Tribes That Spit Upon or Weep Over
Their Visitors.

lnCiT VtSISOCSs
Among the Nasal and Ukerewe it is
a mark OF respect to greet an acquaint-
nee or ii stranger by splitting at him.
Almost as strange is the custom ascrib-
ed to the Tibetans of sticking out the
tongue by way of s%alutation. Rubbing
noses is quite common: the Burmese
and many tribes Of Eskimos. Lapland-
ers and Malays do so.
Stranger than any of these customs
is the weeping salutation that has been
observed among central South Ameri-
can Indians. This form Of greeting oc-
ours. too. in the Andaman islands, New
Zealand and Polynesia. A Portuguese
explorer describes the custom as he
saw it used among a tribe Of South
American Indians:
"Whenever Il guest enters 4 hut he
is Immediately honored and made vel
come by being wept over. Without a
word being spoken he is led to the
hammock. AS soon as he is seated the
hostess and her daughters and INV Of
their girl friends who happen to be in
the house at the time come and sit
about the guest. touch him lightly with
their fingers and commence to weep
loudly and to shed many tears. During
this ceremony. in Il sort Of connected
discourse. they recite everything that
has happened to them recently and talk
of the hardships of the road that the
visitor has suffered and of anything
and everything that can arouse COM
passion and tears. The guest, his hand
before his face. pretends to weep and
does not speak until the crying has
gone on for some time. Then they all
wipe away their tears and become as
lively and merry as if they had never
cried in all their liYes."-Exchance.
