* BRIEF REVIEW OF WORK OF
OKLAHOMA LAWMAKERS
Thursday, January 19
In the house nine new bills were in-
troduced. The senate concurrent reso-
lution relating to printing contracts,
by which the president of the senate
and speaker of the house are allowed
to award the printing above the feJ-
“ral appropriation of $2,500, was taken
up. Mr. Lydich spoke against its
adoption. Mr. Gandy spoke in favor
it the resolution. A substitute reso-
lution was offered which was. on mo-
tion, tabled. An attempt to take up
the original resolution resulted in the
chair making a decision that, accord-
ing to the rules, the resolution was
also tabled. An effort was made to
reconsider the motion, but the chair
ruled it out of order, and the matter
was caried over. The (layman bill
for protection of secret societies was
taken up and, after a few minor
changes, was passed unanimously.
Speaker Norton signed Gandy’s state-
hood memorial to congress, asking the
senate to pass the Hamilton bill, and
house joint memorial No. 2 by Gay-
man. asking congress to reinstate the
school land lessees’ preference clause I oit ies
in the Hamilton statehood bill. At

An Oklahoma Sheriff Receives from
•3,000 to $10,000 Annually
Gl’THRlE: The sheriffs' associ-
ation of Oklahoma held a meeting
here during the last week to plan a
measure that would make their sal-
aries definite and the law governing
them stable and unchanging It does
not seem to be the intention of the
sheriffs to ask for more money, but
rather to have the law so amended so
that they may know what fees are
theirs and what salary they are ex-
pected to receive. Fnder the present
laws It la difficult to determine Just
what la the legal coni pen sat ion of a
sheriff.
Under the present arrangement the
office of aherifT, as a rule, Is the best
paying In the various counties. In
Oklahoma county the salary will aver-
age 110.000 per year: In Istgan. Woods
and possibly several others It will
average between 17,000 and $8,000,
while In the other counties It Is worth
anywhere from $3,000 to $0,000.
In several counties of the territory
there have been suits tiled against
outgoing and ex sheriffs to recover
fees, which It Is alleged the sheriffs re-
tained, although not rightfully belong-
ing to them. But, In fact, and exam-
ination of the laws governing the com
pensatlon of sheriffs shows that not
much care was given their preparation.
It Is for the purpose of remedying such
defects tn the law as may exist that
the sheriffs are now contending.

Whether or not New Hampshire was
n! one time specially favored by liis

I slate with any degree of positIvcncss,
hut certain It is that from time away
! hark the evil one has been accredited
with having maintained an nil the year-
round home in that state, and that,
too, within the coniines of what is now
the little town of Auburn, seven miles
from tile city of Manchester, eastward
as tho crow files toward the sea.
Not only Is the devil accredited with
having been a resident of that locality,
but moss-covered legends have It that
be also maintained a separate estab-
lishment—a church—a devil's church,
an open-door affair, from a pulpit In
which he was wont to expound his evil
doctrines. The home of tho devil In
Auburn Is known to-day, and has long
been known as the Devil's Den, and it
is so recognized In official historical
documents. Tho "church" is located
in the town of Bedford, a few miles
away, and has long been known us tho
Devil's Pulpit.
The Devil's Den Is a cave, whose
black and awesome mouth yawns be-
hind a thick screen of leaves In the
summertime, within a few yards of the
shaded turnpike on the outskirts of
Auburn village, and tn the winter,
when the leaves have gone, frowns
upon the traveler who may cbauco
that way. Low-browed is the entrance
and low browed are the hallways,
which would Indicate that his satanle
majesty was cither very short in stat-
ure or else an adept In the contortion
line.
Within the cavern there are no stal-
actlted and lofty-domed chambers; In
fact, there Is a decided lack of accom-
modations In tho way of room, It be-
ing necessary for one to remain dou-
bled like a Jack-knife a greater part
of the time spent In exploring Its re-
cesses. There are no ancient records
to show that the devil was hump-
backed, but long residence in a cave
with the characteristics of the Au-
burn devil’s den would be pretty sure
to fasten a stoop of some kind on to
one, or to Inculcate into one's general
make-up what is now vulgarly desig-
nated as the "kangaroo walk."
The Devil's Den is the despair of
amateur photographers. It being very
difficult to obtain good pictures of it.
The entrance to the cavern is so situ-
ated that good results are not easily

In the neighboring village of Goffs-

very large bowlders, which are known

they were placed there by Ills satanle

ment Is not stated by tradition. It Is
believed, however, that ho had noth-
ing to do with them, as his name has
never been connected therewith, so
far as can be ascertained; still, there
have been persons who have imagined
that there was something devilish
about the rocks, through the fact that,
although the bowlders weighed hun-
dreds of tons, they could easily be
tipped nnd swayed by a gentle push
of one hand.
If the devil did place thoso rocks
there, he certainly did a very good Job
In the balancing line, for the pivotal

mass of rock, apparently the result of
some convulsion of nature. Over the
precipice thus formed is a fall of wat-
er many feet Into the gulf below,
where there are several excavations
in the solid lock at the bottom of the
chasm and in the sides. One of these
excavations bears a striking resem-
blance to a pulpit, and this fact gave
to the place its name. There is a
large pool at the bottom of the chasm,
into which several streams of water
continually run. The constant bubbling
makes the pool take on the appear-
ance of a plot of boiling water. This
pool Is called the Devil's Bolling Pot,
and it was In this receptacle that Ills
tatanlc majesty was supposed to have
cdffked his boiled dinners.
Close by the boiling pot the devil
had a nice big oven in which to bake
his turkeys and pumpkin pies. The
oven lacks a door by which to keep
the heat on tho Inside, but It was the
devil's oven, and those to whom it Is
exhibited must overlook any inconsis-
tencies in Its arrangement.

PROPER CARE OF GOLDFISH
Expert Tells Why So Many of the
Pretty Pete Die.
There are some creatures apparent-
ly born to have a bad time, says the
ladles' Pictorial, and goldfish are
certainly of the unlucky number.
Sometimes hundreds of the pool
things, fresh from the steam-heated
millponds, where their breeding Is of-
ten an Industry, get violently douched
by a fishmonger's hose, by ley-cold
water dashing into the glass tank, or.
still worse. Into the little globes In
which they are stuffed by dozens.
Light Is not a fish's idea of satisfac-
tion; the ealtn green twilight at tho
bottom of a pond is whal he chooses.
Most of the goldfish bought and kept
for a time in little globes die, because
people think they can live on tho ani-
maleulae In tap water—a fatal mis-
take. I would not pay It the compli-
ment of denying the existence of
microbes, but they will not sustain any
fish In a glass. Crumbs make the wa-
ter sour, nnd then changing It bruises
and worries the fish. It ts kind not
to keep fish at all unless they can have
a good-sized aquarium with a thick
lajer of loam at the bottom In which
valllsnerla—best of water weeds—
should be planted weeks before the
fish aro put in: on the loam an Inch
or two of gravel, anti then filtered
rainwater, never to be changed, but to
be added to now and again as It
wastes. Gnat larvae are, in their sea-
son, tho best goldfish food; falling
these, ants’ cocoons, or small meal-
worms, always procurable from bird
shops, are tempting to the fishy palate.
To laugh at another, or to cause an-
other to be laughed at. Is common.
The merry laugh and the Joke goes
round, but somewhere there Is an
ache.

Cool Wit Stops Disaster.
By his rare presence of mind, John
Donohue, engineer at tho Bellevue
mine, near Scranton, Pa., averted what
might have been a disaster, with con-
siderable loss of life, recently.
The throttle lever of the engine broke
as ho was hoisting a loaded cage, mak-
ing it Impossible to stop the engine.
Instead of letting tho cage rush up to
the top of the tower, he reversed his
engine under full pressure, and thus
kept his machlno see-sawing until tho
main valves could be closed.
Engineer Donohue's cool wit not
only saved the shaft from destruction,
but certainly saved the men working
on the bottom from death or Injury.
He has received the hearty thanks
not only of his employers but also
of the workers In the Bellevue mine,
who all vote him to he a cool-headed
and courageous man.
