A stout is going the rounds of the
jiapers about the experience of Roder-
ick D. Smith who went to the Klon-
dike gold country from San Francisco
with a shiny bald head and has re
turned from the Arctic regions after a
two years residence there with a thick
growth of hair on his scalp. Ho do
clarrs that the transformation was en-
tirely due to tha rigors of the climate
there. Others also make the assertion
that there is something stout the in-
tense cold in Alaska which causes the
liaSr to grow on man and beast.
Heart trouble was the causa of the
largest number of rejections for nrroy
service and it is the testimony of those
who ought to know that this trouble
comes as frequently from ovsr-lndulg-ence
in athletics as from any other
cause. Col. Smart assistant surgeon
general of the United States army
raid recently that In times of peace of
the men who attempt to enlist in the
nrmy fully 60 per cent arr unable to
pass the physical examination and
while the percentage Is somewhat
smaller now It Is so to the detriment
of the service.

Hay ut London to urgo him to make
representations to his government of

Judge Springer of the northern ja-

nation in relation to the Indian courts
as follows:
"Yoar supreme court will have au-
thority to try all civil cases whleh

Ponca City Courier: J. S. Walton
caught Phillip Drown Saturday even-
in the act of furnishing an Indian
with whiskey. He arrested him and
then Drown attempted to escape.

this only served to increase Brown's
speed. Walton then shot his revolver
and Drown stopped. The ball entered
Mr. Woolsey's store and went through
several cans and thicknesses of wool
before It iva slopped In its course.
Mr. Walton took his prisoner to Guth-

A few weeks ago a new play was tried upon
a town near New York. The author was a
man but in some way be bad learned a good
deal about women's mental processes; and
uhen the leading lady proceeded to cut a
Gordian knot by methods strictly feminine
a girl in the audience beamed appreciatively.
'Oh you wily creature" she murmured
addressing the absent dramatist. Then she
turned impulsively to a serious-looking wom-
an who sat beside her.
"Now how could he have known she would
do just that? He certainly must have been
a wtnun in some far-off incarnation."
Her neighbor's seriouueis became sever-
ity and she frowned the frivolous young per-
son down.
"That U quite impoib!e" she said with
impressive gravity. "Evidently you haven't
studied the subject. Woman is a progressed
state. A man may look forward to being a
n-oman in a future incarnation; but he be-
ings to a lower order and has-never I"
-ninine in the past."
Then she wondered why the girl found the
rest of the play so funny. N. Y. Sun.
