Asks $4,000 Commission

Claiming that it was through his eff
forts that the properties of the Mutual
Benefit Oil company in the Healdton
field were disposed of to the Corslcana
Petroleum company last summer for
$210,000 and that he had been en-
plOyed to effect the sale, James o. Gal
loway, a broker, Friday filed in the
district court suit for $4,000 damages.
Aside from the Mutual company and
the Corsicana company, w. NJ. Bonner,
Kay Dawson, r. J. Williams, j. n. Dyer
a. p. Crockett and II. A. Craycroft are
named defendants. Galloway alleges
that it was understood before he ac-
cepted the employment that in the
event he secured a purchaser at a
price as high as $4,000. he was to
receive $4,000 for his work.
He claims that after the sale was ef-
fected the defendants entered con.
spracy to defraud him of his commits.
sion. He claims that the Corsicana
company is responsible for the reason
it paid the 100000 knowing at the
time that an attempt would be made to
keep him from getting his commission.
1t is alleged further that all the as
sets and machinery of the Mutual com
pany have been disposed of, the de-
PENDANTS intending to make it impos-
sible for him to attach anything and
get his commission -Oklahoman.

ORCHIDS CURIOUS PLANTS
BY E, VAN BENTHUYSEN.

Orchids are curious plants, even the
simplest orchids of the endogenous
type, which belong to the same group
as lilies, palms and grasses but differ
ing in their snowy, highly-colored flow
ers of diverse shapes. Possibly there
is no flower admired more and under
stood less.
The known species of orchids num-
ber 5000, which are included in 400
genera. The diligent search that has
been made for these plants in every
country in the world for cultivation
purposes and on account of their great
beauty is undoubtedly responsible for
the great number of known varieties.
Some of the orchids are terrestrial
that is, they grow with their roots
in the ground-but the greater number
are epiphytes-"air plants growing
on trees and shrubs, but receiving no
nourishment from them.
1t is a strange fact that orchids
while supposed to grow in tropical
climates only are grown-beautiful

hood of snow. Rational methods Of

TO MAKE WITH CHESTNUTS
Variety Of Good Things That VIII Be
Appreciated by Those Fond of
the Edible.

Chestnuts are liked by almost every.
body, although they are sometimes
found indigestible. If they are boiled,
they are easily digested. This is
good way to boil them: Cut each
chestnut with a cross on the stem end,
and tie them in piece of cheesecloth
or put them in a cheesecloth bag. Boil
them until tender in salted water.
Then serve them with butter and salt.
as they are, or prepare them more
elaborately.
Chestnut custard is a delicious des,
sert, and can be made either from
roast or boiled chestnuts. Remove
the shells and skins from the cooked
chestnuts-a pound and a half of
them. Rub them through a sieve and
mix with a cupful Of butter to
paste. Add the yolks of six eggs beat
en- creamy, three-quarters of a cup
full of powdered sugar and half cup
full Of cream, whipped stiff. Then fold
in lightly the whites of the eggs, beat
en- stiff, and heat in a double boiler
until it thickens. Do not boil. Chill
thoroughly before serving.
For chestnut salad, boil 20 chest.

fuls of flour rubbed smooth with two

eggs beaten, two tablespoonfuIs Of
sugar, and stir in lightly the stiff
whites of four eggs. Bake 20 min
utes.
For chestnut pudding boil a pound
and a half Of chestnuts and work them
to a paste. Cream half a cupful of
butter with half a cupful of sugar
and add the beaten yolks of six eggs
stiff and fold them in lightly. Pour
in a buttered mold and steam for
an hour and serve with a sweet pud-
ding sauce.

cultivation have developed leading to
the separation of orchids in three
kinds of greenhouses, according to
temperatures maintained in them-hot
houses, temperate houses and cold
houses.
There are some artihcially produced
hybrids, wonderful creations in shape,
which differ greatly from both parents.
On account of the difficulty of their
production these beautiful plants COM
mand fabulous prices. Thousands Of
dollars have been paid for beautiful
specimens. Once created, however,
these hybrids may be propagated in
definitely by dividing the rOot-stock

\ Law That Has MiScarricd.
 (Malden NewS.)

The legislature of 1913 voted that cities and towns should look after widows with dependent children by paying them two or three dollars a week for each child The law was passed without considering a single city or town government, and there was no referendum to the people. There was almost no discussion of the bill in the newspapers and it passed with no opposition. It was hastily drawn legislation, based upon senti- nnent. It added a burden of thou sands of dollars upon the people of this state and increased the tax rate in every city, Yet there was neither a murder nor a complaint against the act If anybody should appeal to the tender mercies of the public it ought to be widow with young children to support.
 Now that this money has been dis tributed somewhat over a year we are prepared to say without hesitancy that a great deal of it is wasted and squan- dered and that the act should be re- pealed and passed again in a practi- cal buSinesslike way, with some thought and consideration. Nine tenths of the poverty is due to the use of intoxicants and shiftlessness. These women should not be given or ders that cannot be transferred with which they can obtain goods of the grocer, the marketman, the shoeman, the cloth1er, the dry goods man and other dealers They should not be tied down to any favorite stores but they should be permitted to use an order for a dollars worth of goods where they can get the biggest dol lars worth. Thousands have been spent in drink or wasted.
 There are a number of state inspec- tors trotting about to see if the money is wisely spent by these widows, for the state helps out in the payment. These inspectors cannot begin to cover the ground. We have in mind an instance where widow has spent her money for liquor for months, and the inspector for the district was blind to 1t. Orders for necessities instead or money should be given through the town and city almoners, and they shonld investigate the cases and keep track or them without the aid of state inspectors. The whole plan of ald- ing WlooWs in this way has been found to DC impractical It was only an-
