No matter who in responsible for
the present proceedings against Chief
of Police Sims, one good result is cer-
tain and that is that gambling will
be a thing of the past in Shawnee
This crime has been allowed for years
to go on and tht- officials have wink-
ed at It, while hard working and hon-
est citizens of all classes were told
that the city needed the revenue that
It might be run properly. What
shame to any city today that it needs
the money from such dives and crlm
inal souces to support the government
under which Innocent women and cHJL
dren as well as self respecting citi-
zens must live. The time has come
for reform, and it Is well that it
should come from the gamblers them-
selves, however selfish their motives
may be, for they are In a position
to give evidence that no one else
could and are speeding their own mon-
ey, and while it may be from a selfish
motive it is certain to be the end of
gambling in Shawnee.

man warned the boisterous passengert
to remain quiet. One of the sailors'

capsized, throwing all seven men into

FRIGHTFULLY TORN.
Ingenious But Not Inventive.
Women have great ingenuity in
adapting old contrivances to new ends,
but little power for Inventions The
patent office at Washington contains,
to be sure, many models from femi-
nine hands, some useful and some fan-
tastic. For example, one woman who
wished to combine gardening and poul-
try raising invented an anti scratching
appliance for the feet of her hens; but
it Is to be feared the condition of the
feathered flock Buffered from lack of
their customary relish of worms. Most
of the popular and effective conveni-
ences of personal and domestic life
have been made by men. A woman
can do more things with a hairpin
than a man could ever accomplish. She
will pick a lock, extract a bean from
a baby's ear or nose, run a string Into
a curtain, hang a picture or button her
boots with the useful hairpin But in
spite of the frantic demand for a prac
ticable pocket, she has not invented
one; and she still washes and wipes
by haud the family dinner dishes A
woman's ability to make the best of
things as they are is a distinct chara*
teristlc of the sex, says Youth's Com-
panion Jt would be sadly missed If it
were to be supplanted by even a high
order of original inventiveness For
this easy, rapid adaptation of inade-
quate means to desired ends is applied
by a womau uot only to the machinery
of the household, but to the human
forces among which she lives The in
genious wife adapts even a clumsy
husband and an Inexperienced cook to
the production of domestic harmony.

To Grow Their Own Ties.
Allusion has been made to the steps
taken In some directions to counteract
the effects of deforestation which has
been going on so recklessly in this
country. One result of Indiscriminate
tree destruction has been to curtail
seriously the supply of railroad ties
As no satisfactory substitute for wood-
en ties has been found, the situation
has becom* such as t give the rail
road companies great concern. Sev
era! months ago it was intimated that
the Pennsylvania railroad might un
dertake the experiment of producing
Its own ties, or at least a considerable
proportion of them It Is now stated
that the company Is actually to in-
augurate such a policy Agents are at
work, and they will set out 2,250.000
trees on land iu Pennsylvania conveni-
ently located for the purpose. The
Company uses 5,000.000 ties annually,
which means great consumption of
timber and a heavy outla\ and the
outlav becomes larm r a« price in
Crease owing to scarcity The idea is
to care for the trees in <rdan« e
with the most advanced ideas of for
estry. It may be posslb: ays Troy
Times, that the compsny will thus
solve an economic problem of its own,
and also set the country an effective
example of what can be done by wise
care of trees with a view to the con-
servation of important natural re-
sources

Shawnee Lad is Finally Located.
Oklahoma City, July 11.—After a
search lasting over two months, in
which a great amount of money and
time haJ been exhausted, sixteen year
old Earl Earnest of Shawnee was
found in the city jail last night by his
grandfather. Earl left his home in
Shawnee last May. He left no word
of where he was going and his parents
were naturally uneasy
His grandfather came to this city
and spent a week in company with
the local police iu search of the lad.
Traces were found where he had been
ir the city, but the boy could not be
located. Yesterday morning inmates
of a resort at 6 1-2 West Grand noti.
fled the police that there was a young
man trying to raise a disturbance. An
officer was sent to the place and the
boy was arrested. On his being book-
ed at the police station the sergeant
became aware that he was the Shaw-
nee boy wanted. His parents were
notified yesterday that the boy had
been found.
Ha6 Child; Doesn't Know It.
Muskogee. I. T„ July 11.—Mrs.
Mattie Conklin of this city is hunting
a twin baby that she never knew was
born to her. She has asked the po-
lice to aid In the search.
"Seven months ago the babes vert
born," she says. "I brought one to
this city with me over six months ago
I dldnt know there was another. I
was unconsclout, and It had been re-
moved before I came to. I didn't
know about It until yesterday.
"I am richer by one child than I
had thought, and 1 want It. Relatives
took it and are keeping It."
"Could you Identify it?" asked the
police sergeant.
Mrs. Conklin was baffled.
"I never saw It," she stammered—
"O, but it must look like the twin,
which I have. Tou can Identify it
that way."
She thinks the child is held "la
the little new house on the corner In
Fredonia."
