You ought to hear the story Of a
Pennsylvania schOl teacher and how
he sent seven sons TO college, and will
send the eighth as soon as he is old
enough to go.
John w. Gilmore has been a pub
lie school teacher in Lycoming county
for more than thirty-five years, and
he is now principal Of a school in
Williamsport. Not even Colonel
Roosevelt cOnld complain of this vet
eran teachers family, since he has
one daughter and eight sons.
Fifteen years ago the oldest boy
graduated from high school and was
ready to enter Lehigh university. The
father supplied the money, but with
an understanding that 1t should all
be repaid in order TO help the second
son, who also went TO Lehigh, gradu-
ating in 1906.
The third and fourth sons followed
their elder brothers TO Asa Packers
famous school, using the family "col-
lege fund" as their father now
calls It.
The fifth son. Morris D. Gilmore,
was sent TO Annapolis, graduating In

THE WAR ON WILLIAMS.

Just as we expected, the gray
wolves are after the scalp of the gov
ernor because he proposes to take the
sugar teat out Of the mouths Of some
Of the office-holding patriots, and re-
duce the number OF employees in
most OF the departments to say moth
ing about reducing the number Of
boards and cutting out some very fat
gratis which have been IN existence
since the admission Of the state into
the union.
Cruce went into office with a brave
promise that he would at once insti-
tute measures Of reform and reduce
expenses. But he had hardly uttered
the promise before the gray wolves
camped on his trail and they kept aft
er him for every minute of his tenure
OF office. Cruce failed to show the
stamina necessary for the RECEPTION
OF his promises but we have some
what of a suspicion that Governor
Williams Is OF greater tenacity Of pur-
pose than his predecessor. It IS GER
tain that the man who could influence
Williams to do something that he
thought was wrong has not yet arisen
In this state nor does It appear from
review Of the situation. that there
is anybody at present In Oklahoma
City who can accomplish this very
difficult feat.
Up TO this hour the war on VII
liams does not seem TO disturb his
equsnimity or caused him any serious
depression or loss Of sleep. The mar
row plurality by which he was elected
IS convincing to a man OF the Will
liams temperament that the people
OF Oklahoma are getting tired Of mis-
rule and unless the Democratic ma
chine purifies Itself It viii be swept
into oblivion two years from now.
And Governor williams is too sagaci-
Gus a politician not TO realize the dire
necessity Of reform all along the line.

OUR OBLIGATION TO FRANCE

When Washington's soldiers were
freezing at Valley Forge, when the
finances Of the country were such
that the war for independence could
not have been maintained six months
longer. France came TO the rescue
with money. men and ships The
king Of France not only financed the
colonies but he sent Rochambeau at
the head Of a fleet and Iayfayette
came along at the head Of some in
fantry And France gave all Of
Europe to understand that she was
standing by the colonlsts with all OF
tho resources at her command.
Again when the Holy Alliance was
formed for the purpose Of securing
an OF Central America and South
America for Russia, Austria, Italy,
Spain and Portugal, 1t was the king
dom Of France which stood ssy the
United States and Great Britain in the
position that there should be no fur
ther acquisition Of territory by any
foreign nation on this hemisphere and
without the combined Endorsement OF
France and England the Monroe doc
trInc would not have been worth the
paper It was written on and would
have been laughed at all over the
world.
At this time France is fighting for
her very existence as a nation, fight
ing with her back to the wall, her
rivers running blood, her farms de-
vastated, the homes Of her people
ruthlessly destroyed by the invader.
And while the charitable folks IN the
United States have sent millions OF
dollars to the Belgians to say nothing
Of several ship-loads Of food for the
starving nothing had been done till
very recently In the matter Of an or
ganized expression of our sympathy
with the French and our graft
tude for their friendship and
substantial assistance in the past.
Some gentlemen in New York have
organized a committee for the pur-
pose of sending to the soldiers in the
French army each kit with only
the necessaries OF life in It. These
kits are to be known as the Lafayette
kits and each Will cost two dollars. A
large number of people have respond
ed 10 the appeal but still there is room
for more and need for more, dire and
urgent need.

THEN AND NOW

Sixty-seven years ago today, John

discovered the first gold in California,
at Coloma. FL Dorado county, about
forty miles east and north of Sacra-
mento. Marshall had entered into
a sort OF partnership with John A.
Sutter, n Swiss, and ex-French army
officer who had settled nearly a de
cade before, where Sacramento now
stands, and had secured from the
Mexican government large land
grants. and who owned vast herds and
maintained hundreds of native retain
ers. Marshall was at Coloma develop

ADA, Okla, Jan. 32.-The legends
of the Cherokees appeal strongly to
the student of ethnology. While
mythical in large degree and be-
lieyed by many with supersttious awe
and reverence, they are less cruel
and more spiritual than those Of
other Iroquoian tribes.
The following was related to the
writer by a Cherokee student then
attending the Northeastern State
Normal, and who stated that his
grandmother had often told IL 10 him

eral hundred years ago there was a
prosperous hunter who lived among
them in Georgia He was rlch-had
many ponies-and was greatly re-
spected. His name was Yawula. His
prowess as a hunter was so great
that when great hunt was arranged
success was assured II YawuIa was
numbered among those who partici-
pated. On one of their annual hunts
when the yenison had been dried and
the pelts prepared for use, and all
were ready TO return, Yawula was
missing. Search was made for him,
but in vain, and his friends returned.

was lost TO them. Years passed and
no tidings, until at last Yawula
walked in among them at their an

friends that he was lost I'm the noun

return home from the hunt He
wandered around for many days and
at last was found by Nunnehi, who
took him 20 their town. He was
treated with the kindest care and
attention. At last he longed to see
his old friends and relatives-his
wife and children-and received the
consent OF the Nannehl. They had
cautioned him, however, that II he
returned he must taste neither food
nor drink, for he had tasted fairy
food and could never again eat
human food.
To all entreaties of wife and chill
dren, who pleaded with him to re-
main. he replied that II was life with
the Nannehi or death with his own
people, and ne could not stay. He
arose and went to the door of his
cabin and vanished.
1t is said that he returned often
