The Why of J~ayhawkers.

"Wilder's Annals Of Kansas gives
this history of the word: zone au-
tumn morning in this year (1856) Pat
Devlin, a Free State Irishman, rode
into Osawatomie on a horse heavily
laden with many kinds Of goods. Have
you been f%oraging, Pat?' Yes, I've
been jayhawking. In Ireland we have
a bird we call the jayhawk; it worries
its prey before devouring it; and jay
hawking is a good name for the bust
ness I've been in This is. the only
known origin Of the word. Colonel
Jennison. early in the war (between
the prrs!a:cf.s and free state forces)
called himself and his soldiers jay
hawkers, and the name soon came to
be applied to all Kansans. Others at
tribute the word to Col. Charles r.
Jennison, one of the Free State lead
ers, claiming that he COINED" it. "Jay-
hawking was the term used to de-
scribe the depredations Of the Kansans
and they were called "Jayhawkers," as
the term Border Ruf1ians" was applied
to the Missouri pro-slavery men.

MUST KNOW DIAMONDS GRAIN
Point of Cleavage Has to Be Deter
mined Before Gutter Begins
Work on Stone.

In the diamond there is a grain"
IN the rough stone, which grain is
parallel to any of the triangular faces
of the octahedral crystal. The stones
in the rough are examined for perfec-
ton and assorted for sizes. The larg-
est stones are given very close inspec-
ton for flaws and carbon spots. When
these are found it may be desirable to
split the stone into several smaller
pieces, to eliminate the flaws and to
secure stones Of more marketable size.
1t behooves an individual known as a
"cleaver" tn know thoroughly the grain
times days are taken to decide on it's
cleavage in order to get the largest
and best reSultS-a mark is placed up
on the diamond with pen and ink, a
tiny groove is ground into it and the
stone mounted on the end of a holder
with the sharp edge of another dia-
mond. A knife about six inches by
n inch high is noW inserted into the
groove or on top Of the line, and with
a quick blow the diamond separates
easily along Its grain.-Electrical Elk

AFFECTS EXCHANGE IN INDIA
Brokers and Currency Dealers Find
Business Greatly Influenced by
the Marriage Season.

Among the influences which affect
the currency of a country, probably
none but experts in exchange would
be inclined to include marrying and
giving in marriage, says the Detroit
Free Press.
Yet it is a fact that the Indian mar
riage season, which comes in May, does
actually have an adverse effect on the
rate of exchange in India, just as the
exports Of wheat and grain from India
form another seasonal influence which
turns exchange in favor of India.
Custom in India dictates that the
bridegroom, or his father, should give
gold and silver ornaments to the bride
at the time of the marriage. These
ornaments are called "stree-dhau," and
they represent, in reality, d marriage
settlement. They are the woman's alb
solute property, and she naturally pre-
serves them with great care.
At the marriage time a great to
date relatives and followers of the
two families, and this. of course, neces-
states a lavish expenditure of silver.
Bankers, brokers and Eastern eN-
change dealers have found by expert
ence that the coming of the marriage
season in India is heralded by a de-
mand for a vast amount of silver cur
rency, and they accordingly take steps
In advance to enable them to meet it.

Willy Monster Finally Is Tricked
by Yankee Sailor.
MADE SOME GREAT CATCHES
Chief Pharmacist of the u. S, S. Viii.
m'neton Has Some Interesting Sport
while Vessel Is in Harbor at Saloon.
the Worst s~harkInfested Place in
the World-Every Shark Is Pre-
coded by Two Small Fish Aetna as
Scouting Expedition for Monster.

Matching brains with a shark is tbe
only way to catch one of these wilv
man eaters, according to Chief Pharm-
aclsts Mate Hugh Thompson of the
recruiting station of the navy at El
Faso, Tex. Thompson says the sharks
are so shrewd hat ordinary means
OFTEN fail, and it is then that strategy
comes in. He backs it up with a warn.
n U. S. S. Wilmington was in the
harDor OF Saigon, which Thompson
says IS the worst sha~rk-infested place
III the world. Hundreds Of sharks sur
rounded the boat, and Chief Master at
Arms George Strollum was in his glory
hunting sharks. A huge steel hook.
DATED with meat, was thrown out at
the end of a line composed of steel
chain and manila
Biggest One Is Elusive.
Strollum made some great catches,
put there was one shark, the biggest
IN the school, which Strollum could
not snare. Tempting morsels Of meat
were offered, but the monster, 20 feet
long, seemed to sense the presence
OF the hook and winked at the shark
hunter as he passed by the alluring
bait.
Every shark, Thompson says, is pre-
coded by two small fish which swim
JUST ahead of the sharks nose. If one
OF these fish is killed, it's place is taken
by another from somewhere. The two
fish are always present, acting as feel
ers and a scouting expedition for he
monster.
When a piece Of pork was thrown
into the water, the fish would investi-
gate. Ii there was nc hook inside,
they would so report and the shark
would enjoy a meal, but as soon as a
baited hook had been cast into the
water, the small fish would advise the
shark and the meal would be left to
toss about on the waves.
Lime Causes Explosion.
For several days Strollum tried to
induce the shark to grab the hook
without result. AS a last resort,
Thompson went below and came on
deck with several bottles of chlori-
mated fresh lime. A huge piece Of
pork was brought up. An incision was
made and several pounds of the lime
inserted and then covered so water
could not reach it.
When this was thrown overheard,
the scout fish investigated, made a IA
vorable report and the shark rolled
over on its back and swallowed the
big meal.
Fol several minutes nothing hap
pened. Then the shark began to show
discomfort. 1t splashed wildly. Soon
it rolled over on its back and gas be-
gan to bubble from it's mouth. It's
stomach swelled up like a gas balloon.
A few minutes more and the shaking
lime did its work. There was a
loud explosion and natives picked up
shark meat 300 yards away in the
mangrOve thicketS.

STATEMENT

Back in August 1904 armed with small bank account
but with surplus of faith and courage threw
the doors of first store which has since grown into
great chain of twenty big complete department stores
whose volume of business into the millions. We
very proud of this first store, which opened
at the then brand town of Coweta, Indian Terri
tory. Business at this store started off with
bang" and has been going good since, the past
three years being our Coweta Stores banner years.
Like all young men who succeed, we worked hard and
long hours made plans and visions and
dreamed dreams. Then we began opening new stores
and crowned efforts until have in six
teen years accomplished in a mercantile way, what we
had hoped to do in a lifetime.
And with splendid organization built up, high
commercial rating, and plenty of capital to
operate on there is limit to which this business
could not be pushed, and if png up goods and money
all there to life, we'd not stop, at least until
we had store in every good town in Oklahoma and
Texas
But while we have had, as Teddy used to say, a per-
fecty buly time through all these sixteen years, yet
realize that life is fleeting and that must keep
stirring if he expects to do many different things
So already having heard the call of other clmes and
other opportunities purpose, after few months in
which to wind up business affairs, leaving for
Southern California. To the thousands of friends and
patrons who have helped to success during the
past sixteen years offer sincere thanks and to
every man. woman and child in all Oklahoma wish
abundant share of prosperity and good health and
contentment in the coming years.
We have grown up from boyhood here, and we love
Oklahoma with very great love and always shall.
