Order from Commissioners.

Oklahoma City, Apr,l An Or

be commenced against a delin-
ouent officer, also a county attorney
can not appeal from judgment
rendered against the county in such
a case without the consent and
against the wishes of the commits
sioners.
Such was the opinion given by the
supreme court yesterday in dismiss
ing the appeals of five cases which
we're filed by the county attorney Of
Ilingfsher county. The defendants
were former county officials, who,
according to reports of the state eX-
aminer and Inspector had received
more money in fees and salaries
than they were legally entitled to-.
When the county attorney instituted
action in the district court at the
direction of the commissioners, the
lower court sustained demurrers to
his petition. The county attorney
desired to appeal the cases, but the
commissioners refused to authorize
such action. However, the former,
with the assistance Of a special at
torney of the taxpayers league filed
the appeal

INVASION OF BLACKFlSH

Not long ago school OF 81 I'm
mense blackfish stranded at Province
town, Cape Cod. for the first time In
over 80 years. The fishing sloops
Pearl and Vesta encountered them OH
the end of Long Point and drove them
across the harbor to the beach, where
they stranded in shoal water. The
fish made no effort to avoid the boats
but pushed on ahead OF the latter as
though accustomed to the presence
OF men. AS soon as they went aground
they we're killed with harpoon or lance
in the same manner as a whale Is
dispatched by veteran whaleman.
1t was a scene of blood and hylng
clouds Of sand and water, for the great
water animals did not die without pro
test AS soon as they were dispatched
their bodies we're taken in tow by
motor boats and landed at high TIDE
on the shore. Here i'm the presence
of hundreds of spectators, the heads
were cut off and the blubber stripped
from the bodies.
The head of a blackfish is almost
solid fat, and when dried out and re-
fined makes the finest quality or
watch oil and brings a fancy price in
the market The blubber, or body
fat, makes valuable oil for various
mechanical purposes.

BARBER SHOP FOR HoBoES

his trade In Chicago.
This particular "tonsorial parlor
Is located near a railroad crossing
and In a field adjacent TO large
sweet corn canning factory where sew
eral hundred individuals Of the HOBO
type find employment husking corn
during August and September. NO
fancy furniture is needed. The
equipment, in fact, is as primitive as
the roof which shelters 1t from sun
and rain. A pine box, with paddock
serves for the BARRIERS tools; the chair
is roughly fashioned of boards ana
covered with canvas. Water is heated
a few feet away in an open kettle
which rests on an improvised stove
made of a slab of sheet iron raised
from the ground by means of few
stones and provided with several
lengths of pipe to produce a draft
This barber receives his pay largely
in the form Of "husking checks which
are given the men for husking corn
in the factory sheds. These are, OF
course, redeemable at the offices OF
the different canning companies. The
proprietor rejoices in the fact that
he has a strictly sanitary shop.

IVORY NUT Is VALUABLE

A peculiar species OF palm, whose
fruit is a nut resembling in form and
color a miniature head of a negro, was
discovered in northern Ecuador about
fifty years ago by some rubber gath
erers. These nuts they nicknamed
"negritos." The kernels OF the nuts,
when thoroughly dried, had the ap-
pearance and texture Of dentine ivory.
Sample lots OF these nuts were shipped
to Europe for experimental purposes,
and II was soon found that they fur.
nished an ideal material from which
to manufacture buttons and other
small ornamental objects, for which
the more expensive ivory had hitherto
been used. The ivory nut is now ar
important article Of commerce. Over
10000 tons are shipped from Ecuador
alone every year.

DELICIOUS PAPlTAS

Papitas is not the name of a coun-
try, but of a fruit that is very lus-
cious and wholesome. 1t is native OF
the little group of islands stretching
from Japan to the Philippines, known
as the Loochoo islands. The fruit Is
obtainable during from four to seven
months of the year. II is described
as having apparently no insect enc

It. which is not bad evidence of its
quality. The fruit takes the form OF
the melon. and grows to very large
size, sometimes fifteen inches round
by "a inches In girth. The papitas
