Something New to TrlbunaIs

A tribal legal suit will shortly be
tried at Nairobi. British East Africa
The case has been brought by the
Nasal tribe against the government
1t Is doubted whether there is any other
case known Of tribe whose whole
record Is one Of warlike pursuits In
dulging In the pacific methods Of legal
procedure to establish what it consid.
ers to be right. The exact cause OF
action Is that the natives consider
that their rights under the treaty
signed in 1904 have been infringed by
an arrangement formulated and signed
at Ngong In 1911. The natives have
engaged lawyers on the spot, but 1t is
regarded as possible that II the ver-
dict Is adverse to the tribe there may
be some difficulty In persuading them
to accept It; while II 1t is adverse to
the government it may be carried ul-
timately to the courts in England.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
billing sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Care must be taken in the stories
We give to growing children that evil
is always overcome. Book friends are
very real to boys and girls and In.
fiuence their character. There should
be effort and conflict in their stories
and daring endurance and steadfast
purpose. Stories in which the child
hero acts rightly are particularly
valuable, because what a boy or girl
has done appeals more directly to the
childs Own power. He feels though
he may not express 1t even to him
self that what other children have
done he can do.

As Poor as Jobs Turkey.

Jobs turkey was said to be so poor
that it had only one feather in its
tail and was Obliged to lean against
a fence to gobble This is the descrlp-
tion of the fowl as given by Judge
Halliburton, author of Sam Slick" and
as 1t represents the extreme of pow
erty and forlornnes, this mythical
bird is used in a figurstive way to
designate anything or anybody that
has reached the last stages OF poor
ness
1t may not be amiss to state in this
connection that Job never had a tur-
key. This fowl is a native of America
and was never heard of until this
country began to be settled by Euro

Only Success Worth WlppIno,

There is nothing base in failure. but
base failure: there is nothing good In
success but that which is well won.
The applause of triumph is a mock
cry to hiEi who has not deserved his
success; If anything of conscience re-
mains to him such applause must be
a positive torture. We always know
in our hearts whether we have mer
tied that which comes to us, and it is
always sweetened hundredfold when
we know that we really have done
something fair and true for It.

CONGRESSIONAL RED|STR|CT|NC BILL
As PASSED By THE LEGISLATURE

Oklahoma City, Okla, June 2S.-
The legislature did not get through
it's work tonight and while it had been
agreed that the adjournment will oc-
elapsed after passage Of the revenue
measure, it is probable that the
houses will be at work again Mon
day. The Saturday adjournment res
olution was revoked and the house
fixed July as the quitting time, but
the senate has not acted.
1t was intended to leave the pre-
siding officers here with one or two
members, but the senate is yet to get
out of the way important matters
and the general appropriation bill has
not been touched by the conference
committee.
Congressional Bill Passed.
Among today's accomplishments
was the passage of a congressional
redistricting bill, a matter which on
yesterday the members declared they
would not touch. The new bill Is that
agreed upon by the senate caucus
with three changes. The counties Of
Carter and Love were switched from
the Oklahoma City district to the Dur
ant McAlester district. Payne county
was added to the Oklahoma City dis
trict, being taken from the Davenport
district and Coal county was taken
from the Ada-Shawnee district. As
a result the legislature has made one
certain republican district, the eighth,
and there is grave doubt but what the
Oklahoma City district is republican,
it being composed of the counties of
Payne, Logan, Oklahoma, Mccain.
Cleveland, Garvin and Murray. This
also places congressman at large

From a symposium of answers re-

with $S093-S for his non-vegetarian
diet. while Jerry left $4.90 5S on the
counter for his share. How Jerry laid
five-eighths of a cent on the meat
mans counter is still another problem
for the fast failing Problem Editor
but let that rest.

Most people, he might have said, have

not at all like the ones he had known.
Then the business man had to stop

cent pieces are much more of an esthet-
ic cast than the others, the design be
ing more desirab BILE and really more
beautiful.
With the new coinage, the Indians
head is transplanted from the penny to
the five-cent piece. The new nickel
bears the small initial f. the surname

The Indian head thus is lost to the
