Strongly religious men hare given
such testimony as an act Of faith. The
confessions Of st. Augustine are one

another. The autobiography of Ben

Rousseau's celebrated Confessions"
which left such an imprint on the
minds of European thinkers, were un-
dertaken as deliberate act of in
tellectual honesty or propagandist
fanaticism, according as you care to
look at it.
George Meredith once wrote novel
called 'AThe Egotist." in which he ex-
plored the secret recesses of male self
ishness and vanity to such uttermost
confines that no self-respecting male
can read the book without flaming
bushes at his own image Meredith
read the manuscript aloud to Robert
Louis Stevenson, who was also can

son remarked:
"Of course. it is very fine But was
it quite fair of you to make such lib
eral use of me in your portrait Of an
egoist?"
Il did not" said Meredith, with a
smile. 1.-The egoist is not you. He
is" and the author tapped his own
breast.
Which is way of saying that the
confession of one is, in great measure,
the confession of all.

GO FAR BACK IN HISTORY
Prehistoric Animals and Reptiles That
Have Survived tho Long March
Of Father Time.

Many Of the prehistoric beasts and
reptiles are still with us, though we
do not always recognize them.
Our common hedgehog was one Of
them, says wri er in London An
swers. He lived and tiourished In
these islands thousands OF years ago,
as the rocks tell us in their unerring
way. He owes his survival to his
prickles. his comfortable disposition
and careful habits and. seeing he Is
a useful little beast, nobody is sorry
that he outlived the dragons of old.
The common shrew is literally ''as
old as he hills" His remains have
been found as deep as men have ever
dug. and that means a very ancient
history indeed. The shrew is the
smallest animal on the globe. and, de-
spite his size. he is the champion fly

frightful temper. especially when he"

Turtles and tOrtoises are old-timers
too. The huge Galapagos tortoises at
the zoo are real ''prehistorians;" and,
in fact, all the tortoise tribe is very
ancient.

creature which lives IN South Amer
lea, owes its parentage 80 an era when

Very Useful Tree.

What is claimed to be the most mar
velous of trees grows in Brazil. 1t is
the carnahuba palm. and can be en-
ployed for many useful purposes. Its
roots produce the same medicinal effect
as sarsaparilla. Its stems afford
strong, light tibres, which acquire
beautiful luster, and serve also for
ioists, rafters and other building mate
rials, as well as for stakes for fences.
From parts of the tree wines and vine
gar are made. 1t yields also saccha-
rine substance, as well as starch
resembling sago. Its fruit is used in
feeding cattle. The pulp has an agree
able taste. and the nut, which is oleagi-
nous and emulsive. is sometimes used
as a substitute for coffee. Of the
wood of the stem musical instruments,
water tubes and pumps are made. The
pith is an excellent substitute for cork
From the stem a white liquid similar
to the milk of the coconut is obtained
and n flour resembling maizena,.

MUST HAVE PERFECT TEETH
Why It is Important for Young Women
to Look Well to That Requisite
Of Beauty.

No less an authority than DR.. Hol-
lister of the dental division of Penn
sylvania state department of health,
states that ''the young woman of to-
day if she wishes to retain the affec-
tions of man must have a cleaning
set Of perfect teeth, because no young
man cares to sit opposite young
woman whose teeth are crooked and
unsightly. Certainly no young woman
can make the impression she desires
If her teeth are blemish on an other
wise attractive countenance," said Dr.
Hollister. "What young man, no mat
ter how much he may like young
woman, will long look at unsightly.
fll-kept and crooked teeth without be-
coming Indifferent to their owner?
The young woman of today must have
a set of cleaning teeth in her mouth
and they must be regular and show
the attention that their owner gives
them. The young woman thus equipped
either by nature or mans handiwork
is the one best-fitted to retain the af-
fections of a man."

land available under the Home
stead Act was difficult to find
so the United States bought from
the Indians, who had been segre-
gated in Indian territory, large
tract of some 10000 square miles
that had been used largely by
the Indians as pasture for their
cattle and horses. This was
called Oklahoma, word mean
ing fine country" and was ar
ranged to be ready for sale to
homesteaders at IL o'clock noon
of April %, 1889. Troops We're
placed on guard to prevent any
settlers entering before that time
for more than 100000 ''boomers"
as they were called, came from
all over the country to obtain
farms or places for business. On
the stroke of the hour, bugles
sounded and the mad rush by
men, women and children to To-
cate claims began. The govern
ment had arranged land officers
at many places at which claims
could be filed for the farms or
city lots, and all that day these
were besieged by fighting mobs
to register their selections. Be-
fore nightfall hundreds of farms
were staked out and Oklahoma
City and Guthrie were well on
their way to become cities.
Thus IVES developed this re-
gion which came into the pos
session of the United States as
part of the Louisiana Purchase
in 1903 and which was set aside
for so many years as Indian
country. Previous to the forma-
tion OF Oklahoma territory, con-
gress bad forbidden white set
tiers In this part of the country,
and this edict was enforced by
federal troops. AS the demand
for more land was felt and as the
Indians decreased in numbers,
Indian territory was added to
Oklahoma territory, and in 1907
1t was admitted to the Union as
the State of Oklahoma, adding
another star to our flag, which
for eleven years had contained
forty-fve. The state has flour
ished to such an extent that 1t
has ten presidential electors,
which is more than double that
of many of the older states OF
