The Game Is Not for Man Alone.

The intelligence that appears to per
wade the organic world and that
reaches it's conscious expression in the
brain of man is just as manifest in all
the forms of animals and plants that
are inimical to HMM all his natural
enemies--venomous snakes and beasts
of prey, and insect pests-as in any
thing else. Nature is as wise and So
licitous fer rats and mice as for men.
In fact. she has endowed many of the
lower creatures with physical powers
that she has denied him. Evidently
man is only one of the cards in her
pack, doubtless the highest one, but
the game is not played for him alone.

Review.

STATE WINS TAX SUIT.
Right to Make Collections From Un-
restricted Surplus Allotments.

lCoh' 'StSu oul hluS fN'lOtHCU'o'
Oklahoma City, June 1.-The right
OF the state of Oklahoma to assess
and collect taxes from unrestricted
surplus allotments OF Cherokee lands
was upheld today by the supreme
court. The opinion was by Judge
Watts of the division of district
judges in the case of Jack Rider and
others against Lee Helms and others,
appealed from Sequoyah county. The
opinion construes the Cherokee
treaty of 1902 and holds that the
effect is not to exempt the lands
from taxation More than four hun
dred plaintiffs We're joined in action
to recover taxes paid.
In an opinion by Justice Turrer IN
the case of George p Bonhett vs.,
the state ell rel. w. G.. Newer from
Kingtisher county. the decision of the
lower court was upheld 10 the effect
that the act of the legislature of
1913 abolishing the office of register
of deeds in all Oklahoma counties
is constitutional. The case was a test
and upon the decision hinged the
question of whether the office had
been abolished.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHlAS LODGE OF
THIS CITY HAS LAUNCHED A
MOVEMENT THAT MAY RESULT
IN FINE ORGANIZATION

For some time the agitation of or
ganizing saxaphone sextette in the
knights of Pythias lodge has been
going on, and it seems that the dream
is about to be realized
o. l.. Smith, chancellor commander
of the lodge, and one OF the most ac-
tive fraternal men in the city, has
given the movement his hearty ap-
proval, and will do anything possible
to get the club organized. There is
a teacher in the city-a resident
who stated this morning that he
would be pleased to teach the sextette
and with that assurance it only re-
mains for six musicians in the lodge
to signify their willingness to join
this organization and buy their instru-
ments. The sextette may be made
double or triple if the numbers are
available. In fact, the more the bet
ter, and would be one of the few
organizations of the kind in the Uni
ted States.
A saXaphone sextette comes nearer
to initiating the tones of large pipe

ments, and with diligent study and
practice they would be ready for con-
certs in a few months
Several members have signified
