That the gerrymander of the new-
state prepared by the constitutional
convention is absolutely unjust and
"vicious” is the confession of Delegate
George Henshaw of Madill to a number
of friends in the lobby of a local hotel
here today. "I hope the constitutional
convention will meet again,’’ said Mr.
Henshaw. “1 consider the constitution
a “cracker jack" with few exceptions,
for instance the gerrymander is vicious.
We know it is an unfair representative
apportionment and we should correct it
before we force the “Big Slick” to do
it. Logan County should have at least
another representative and a number of
the representatives allowed the south-
ern part of the new state should be giv-
en to the northern part.”
"1 am very much displeased over
the manner in which President Murray
is acting through his failure to file the
original copies of the constitution with
Secretary Filson and I am doing as
much as possible along with other
Delegates to get him to do it.”

One of our exchanges told of an old
German who had a son of whom he was
very proud, and he decided to find out
the trend of his mind. He adopted a
novel method by which to test him. He
slipped into the hoys room one morning
and placed on his table a bottle of whis-
key, a Bible and a silver dollar. “Now”
said he, “when dot boy comes in if he
takes dot dollar lie’s going to be a heez-
nis man; if he takes dot Bible he's
going to be a preacher; if he takes dot
whiskey he's no good and going to he a
drunkard." Then he hid behind the
door to see which his boy would choose.
In came the boy whistling. He ran up
to the table picked up the Bible and
put it under his arm, then snatched up
the bottle, took two or three drinks,
picked up the dollar put it in his pock-
et and went out smacking his lips. The
Dutchman poked his head out from be-
hind the door and exclaimed: "Mein
Got, he is going to be a bolitican."

A ZOOLOGICAL WIFE.
A story is told of a Cherokee woman
who married six times and has never
gotten out of the animal line. When
a girl she was known as Mollie Panther.
She married an Indian named Coon,
and when that gentleman was trans-
formed to the happy hunting grounds
she soon became Mrs. Fox. This cun-
ning fellow soon entered the lost chase,
and the widow married a mild, placid
man named Mule, who never had any
kick coming till he harnessed up to
draw his load over the great divide.
After a period of mourning this much
married woman again entered the
realms of matrimonial bliss and became
Mrs. Wolf; but his scalp was soon sent
to the great Father with his re-
mains, and she became the wife of a
man named Tiger, and when Mr. Tiger
changed his stripes for a pretty white
robe in the great beyond, the widow
became Mrs. Hogg.
it is said that, despite the fact that
this remarkable woman lias lived with
all the beasts of the field, she is a wo-
man of refined instincts, a good wife
and mother, and in her present sur-
roundings her home is as clean as a
pin.—Perry Republican.
