Editor world: You have all heard the story
about the man who decided. for some reason
that he could lick every man In the village In
which he dwclt ono night at little social
gathering at the Paradise Inn--the Inn since
substituted by the word Lost---and before the
present arid era, our hero, possibly stimulated
somewhat by an excess quantity Of -Four Run

Not receiving any response to his challenge. he

man In the county" sun no one disputed his
statement Il can lick any man in the state"

gentleman caressed him under the chin with

TO do with "Croekology" ia this. A certain oil
editor In this city has for some time amused
the oil fraternity with his theory that In the
exploration ot petroleum one must drill close

that ir oil Is found anywhere along the NIissis-

II is a fact but neither an explanation or

THE SUPREME COURT.

The supreme court OF the United states is

has been known that certain mombers desired to

that OF having occupied the chief magistracy
and chief Justieeship OF the United states.
1t is A tribute to the standing OF the ex-prcs-
dent that all shades Of public opinion look for
ward with favor to his ascending the supreme
court bench, thoro TO close his life as a public
character. 1t is fortunate. we think, too. For
there Is no division OF opinion touching the ju-
diciai qualities OF the man while concerning his
worth to politics In general ana especially cur
rent discussion OF public questions. there In the
widest possible division OF opinion.
Mr.. TAFT. as n subordinate official, gave
promise OF usefulness as an executive mover full

peculiarly equips him for place on the SUI
preme court bench was tremendous handicap

WITCH DEER TALE
IS DISBELIEVED
If Anybody Ever Shot One
With Silver Bullet
Event Not Recorded

Special 70 The World.
TAHLEQUAH. April "a story
being somewhat extensively pub
llshcd Is that TO the effect that the
stuffed skin OF a white deer in the
state university museum at Norman
Is that OF a witch deer" IL also
is said that II was thought b. the
Indians that the white deer por-
tended disaster and that prior to the
removal west OF the Cherokees one
OF the animals appeared in the old
nation east of the Mississippi. one Of
the last OF such animals to be seen.
The story is interesting but de-
cidcdly erroneous. While white deer
have never been numerous in THIS
section of Oklahoma, there have
been several OF them seen but so far
as known none OF the fullblood
Cherokees ever mentioned them as
being portentous of disaster, though
some Of the Indian hunters as well
as white ones, both representing the
superstitious members OF their races.
supposed that in order to kill one
OF the white animals silver bullet
was necessary. That this idea was
fallacious was proved whcn hunter
killed a big white deer which ranged
tho hills near Cookson, with an
ordinary, everyday leaden bullet.
Deer have practically disappeared
from this region but IL Is still pos
sible that one OF the white variety
might be found down in tho fast
nesses OF the wooded hills miles
southeast OF Tahlequah. And 1t is
/ probable that the hunter who found
| one OF the white animals would not
take time to seek a silver bul,et. nor
would he think of witches or
| disaster. but would speedily slay the
animal and while so doing tcrget
all about the law prohibiting the
| killing of deer.
