Louise spends a great deal of time
in the room of a favorite aunt who
lives with her parents, but the child
is not yet up in the mysteries of the
toilet. Her aunt recently purchased
some of those hair ornaments popular-
ly known as "rats."
These Louise did not behold until
one day she saw her aunt remove sev-
eral. The child flew out of the room,
screaming at the top of her voice to
her mother:
"Mother, mother, Aunt Nell is un-

The Most Suspicious Ever.
Henry Clews, the banker and au-
thor, was talking at the Union club in
New York about a certain financier.
"No wonder the man is so success-
ful." said Mr. Clews. "He is the most
careful, the most suspicious fellow I
ever heard of. In fact, he reminds me
of a Staffordshire farmer my father j
used to tell of.
"It was said of this farmer that, .
whenever he bought a herd of sheep,
he examined each sheep closely to I
make sure that it had no cotton in it."

Prisoners May Get Freedom. — At
torneys representing P. M. Childers,
who Is at present confined in the
I'nited States penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan., have filed in the
federal court at Topeka an applica-
tion for a writ of lvbeas corpus,
which, if granted, will not only mean
the release of Childers from the pris-
on, but also the release of all other
prisoners who were sent up by the
territorial federal courts after the
enabling act, establishing the new
federal courts in the new state, was
passed «by congress. The attorneys
for Childers claim that he was not
legally convicted, as he was indicted
and tried after the enabling act was
passed, and that this act really abol-
ished the jurisdiction of the old
courts. Childers was sent up from
Vinita, I. T.. for raur ler, and is serv-
ing a life term in the prison. The
case is especially interesting to Ok-
lahoma.

F Simmon*, San Antonio, Texan:
Dear Sir I wan down on your Atascowi County ranch, and spent
four days in looking it over. It is a goeat tract of land; the finest fargo
hotly of l.-nd 1 was ever on. Ill the four May* I spent on it, I am sure kdui
not see forty acres that could not be cull in ated.
The soil'is dark and chocolate sand;, loam, and some black, waxy with a
little sand, lmt no Mow stud. I took -oil from different pastures, and
found the land all undcilaid with a good clay foundation.
hi my opinion, tins land, with proper cultivation, wiil produce every-
thing that can be grown from Maine to California, i never saw a more fer-
tile body of land anywhere.
Such land as this, if lo<atcd in Oklahoma, would sell for $50 an acre.
The entire tract i- within the arte ian belt. The water from these
wells that I saw and drank, was tf°od for all purposes.
I carried one of your "Ww llone- Sweet Nome" books with me and
compared the views shown b\ \ou in it with what I -aw, and found every-
thing just as represented. *1 have read your description of this property,
and you have not overdrawn it. in any way. No one can realize what a
splendid opportunity this is to pet a good home for a very little money in
tlie (inesi climate and nil the richest land in the world, until he sees it.
I will be very glad to answer any one who wants to know what I know
about your land. With best wishes, I remain,
Yours very truly, J. S. LIGIITFOOT.
