BOYS CALLED "SILLY SIMPS'
College Professor Remarks Number
Of Dandies In Freshman Class
Was Really Appalling.

A girl Of eleven came home from
dancing school the other day and
said to her mother: Nearly all the
boys at dancing school are SO queer;
their hair is all fused up, and they
do nothing but shipper around US girls
and look in the glass to straighten
their neckties, and pull down their
coats. l can't think of any name for
them but silly simps." A little In
quiry revealed that In other quarters
besides that dancing school the SILLY
simp" (the same that used to be
called the SISSY boy') seems to be
fiourishing. A college professor re-
ports that he has recently remarked
to one Of his colleagues that the num-
Der Of handles in the freshman class
was really appalling. I'VE used to
have to appeal constantly to the fell
lows to look after their appearance"
he said. But now we have oftener
to tell them not to think so much
about It." This led lady who heard
heard him to say, II know a boy OF
fifteen who actually spent one solid
hour the other night in getting his
hair fixed for q party" Perhaps we
shall have to stop scolding the girls
for awhile and turn our attention to
these vain boys.-Kate Epson Clark,
in Leslie's.

Long time ago the little Indian boys
used to get hungry at times when
there was no pot on the fire, and then
they would watch until they thought
no one was looking so that they might
get q chance to take from the store
house OF the dried meat and roasted
corn which they loved.
But generally one Of the old men.
who could no longer go out to the
woods to hunt, would catch the boys
before they got the food. And when
the old man had caught the boys he
would take them to his house, shaking
his head and saying:
"Well, you must have seen the Wild
Boy today" And the boys would then
ask the old man to tell them about the
Wild Boy. And while the old man
hunted around in his house for some
bits Of dried meat for the boys, he
would tell them Of the time the Wild
Boy of the woods saved the two sons
Of Kanati, the Wise Man, from the
wolves.
Once Kanati and his wife Selu lived
In q settlement where there was plenty
Of game and plenty Of corn and beans,
and no one ever went hungry for even
half q day. They had two young sons.
and as the boys grew up they began to
wonder how it was that Kanati and
Selu could get game and corn 80
easily.
One day when their mother, Selu,
went into the storehouse to I'LL her
basket, the boys pulled out piece Of
the clay from between the logs Of the
storehouse and watched their mother.
They saw her come in and set down
her basket and rub her hands over her
stomach-and at once the basket was
half full of corn! Then she rubbed
her hands under her shoulders and the
basket was filled with beans!
Our mother is a witch-woman!"
cried the boys, and they decided that
they must kill her. And when Kanati

came home from the hunt with some
deer meat over his shoulder. he found
that the boys had killed Selu and put
her head up on top Of the house. Ka-
natl was angry, and went on to talk
to the wolves about his bad sons.
I'VE will go and destroy your sons"
said the wolves, and Kanati told them
how to find the house.
But the Wild Boy had heard Kanau
say he was going to the wolves, and
so he changed into tuft Of birds
down and went along, perched on Ka-
nati's shoulder. And when Kanati had
told the wolves how to find his sons,
the Wild Boy changed back into his
own shape and ran to tell the sons Of
Kanati how to prepare for the coming
Of the wolves.
The Wild Boy told the two sons OF
Kanati to run around the house in a
wide circle and make o trail, leaving
Just one narrow opening at the point
where the wolves would come from.
And then they made some bundles Of
arrows, which they laid down just out
side the circle.
And when the wolves came running
to destroy the sons Of Kanati, they did
not see the circle until they were In
side; and then the circle became a
high brush fence, with just the narrow
opening the boys had left. With their
bows and the arrows they had fixed
the Wild Boy and the two sons Of
Kanati began killing the wolves. They
thought they had killed all Of them.
but two got away, and those two be-
came the father and mother Of all the
wolves In the world today.
And then the old man would say to
the boys he had caught trying to
break into the storehouse:
To-day there Is no Wild Boy to help
you out, but there are plenty Of wolves
in the woods! So. you must wait until
the pot is on the fire and your mother
tells you that she has something for
you to eat"

Judge Henshaw Tells Why Oil Hear
ing Was Discontinued.

State Corporation Commissioner
George A. Hcnshaw has answered
the Mlskogee Phoenix in a state.
mcnt of his reasons for postpouing
the oil hearing Judge Henshaw
has taken the lead in the oil and
pipe line matters and he is today
rendering this state a most valuable
service In his answer to the news
paper he states there are several
reasons why the hearing was CON
tinued. He is waiting for a report
from the Commerce and Labor De-
partment on relative values of diff
fcrent oils in Oklahoma Illinois and
Pennsylvania under resolutions intro
duCed in the United States senate
an analysis of the oil in the Heald-
ton field by the department of cor
porations under the direction of the
secretary Of the interior; he is wait
ing to see what congress does with
reference to divorcing production
from pipe lines and making pipe
lines strictly common carriers with
out any other interests. The produ
GERS nor the pipe line people, said
Judge Henshaw, are ready to proceed
az this time and both have indicated
to the commission orally and by tel
egrams that the case should be con
t.uued until further data could be
collected The fixing of prices"
continued Judge Henshaw in his
"of a commodity is an
so far as the judiciary
o the country is concerned. The
commission will take no action eX
cept upon the fullest investigation.
That prices are now fixed arbitrarily
by pipe lines and no contract rela
ions exist is the conclusion of honest
men That the Magnolia Pipe Line
company intended to steal the Ard |
more field is the belief of independ- |
'nt producers Of that field. Cush- |

Pennsylvania oil and Ardmore oil |
