—From the Washington Star.
Wm. Rand, who has been very
ill at Oklahoma City and who
was «o near unto death last week
that three Oklahoma City doc-
tom gave up all hope, is slowly
reoovering under the care of Dr.
Norman.
Even if they had worked a
hundred years, the constitutional
convention could not under any
Circumstances, have formulated
a basic dooument upon which to
build our new state laws, that
would have pleased everybody.
Do something that will please
half the people and the other half
will kiok. But the constitutional
convention did not even try to
please half the people, as is evi-
denced in the manner the
county boundaries were dealt
with. Taking up a matter whol-
ly out of their jurisdiction, they
cut Oklahoma and Indian Terri-
tory into twice as many counties
as needed, and in addition to that
injustice have apportioned legis
lative rights to these counties in
such a manner as to enable the
democratic party to always have
control of the state.
In the southern and atriotly
democratic portions of the terri
tory the legislative districts are
so formed that there are to be
twioe as many legislators in ac-
cordance with population than in
the northern and republican
portions of the territory.
The matter of placing the de-
termining of elections with the
legislature, shows conclusively
that the main object of the demo-
cratic majority of the constitu-
tional convention was to place
fhe entire territory in their con-
trol.
The people should respond to
such tactics by voting the qon«
stitution down, as such a con«
dition of unlimited power by one
party is dangerous to the future
wellfare of the common-wealth.
The engine to be used in the
new Arthur gin which will be
built here this year, arrived
Wednesday. It is an old engine
which was formerly used in W. J.
Arthur's mill in Luther. After
having run here several years it
was taken to Lawton. It now
comes back to Luther and will
this year do its share in ginning
the cotton crop.

The baggage handlers on the
railroads are justly called "bag-
gage smashers." In Washington
one day a distinguished French
visitor to this country pointed
out to one of these men a rather
frail gripsacki
^_"Ie that strong enough," he
asked, "to go in the baggage
oar?"
"I'll see," said the manj He
lifted the grip high above his
head and threw it on the plat-
form with all his might.

she'll get in Philadelphia "
He took it up again and banged

PS HELP A MAN SLEEP.
Mental Geography the Beat Soporific,
According to a Drug Clerk.
A haggard-looking man strolled
into a drug store the other day
and asked the druggist for help.
Ho said he had trouble In get-
ting to sleep when he retired. No
matter how sleepy he might be during
the day or hew much sleep he might
have lost, the moment his head touch-
ed the pillow he was wide awake and
lay thus for several hours. Once
aslaop, he was hard to waken, but
he had to be up at a certain hour,
and In consequence of hl peculiar af-
fliction he was losing more sleep than
he could stand. The drug clerk re-
garded him qulazically a fow moments
and then replied: "My dear man,
you don't need medicine. What you
want is something to change the
trend of your thoughts. Do as a friend
of mine did. He was troubled the
same way and found that the old folks'
plan of imagining sheep passing a bar-
rier and counting them was out of
date. So he began trying to name all
the states in the union. He soon got
them so he could classify them alpha-
betically. Then when they no longer
Interested him he started on the
counties of this state. He now has
them at his tongue's end, classified up
to the fourth letter. NoW he is start-
lug on state capitals and their loca-
tions; then he will take up county
saats. A moment's glance at an atlas
during the day shows him when he is
Wrong, and the beauty of the plan is
that he rarely has to think along
these lines longer than ten minutes
before he is sound asleep. To make
It short, the study of geography is a
good narcotic."
Spare Money Hypothecated.
"Madam, four husband sold If \
would call here to-day there'd be an
old suit of bli clothes I could have."
"Ho ain't going to have no old clothes,
i'm going to get a new bonnet."
Had Use for Both.
Ohicago policemen sometimes matte
themselves useful, although perhaps
not in the way they are supposed to.
This was shewn by an Incident in a
South side home. The mistress of the
house happened to go into the kitchen
luring the evening. There she saw the
cook evidently enjoying the company
M two big dispensers of the law.
''Why, Maggie," ehe exolalmed, "Isn't
bne policeman enough for you?"
"Share, ■•.'am, but wan Is ny chap-
•ron," answered the cook. "Which
•net" queried the lady. "Sometimes
ike wan and sometimes the other,"
fras the eh eery reply from the re-
eoureelul Haggle. — Chicago fchroii-
an enlightening editorial on The
Fallaoies of Bryanism, upset the
honey-jar of adjeotives in des-
cribing the latest wedding, write
up a blaze in Sam Springer's
hen-coop so realistically that
kind old ladies get the hysterics,
butcher country correspondence,
invent advertisements for horse-
sales and millinery openings,
converse pleasantly with sub-
scribers who declare they never
ordered the paper, smile sweetly
at "One Who Was There" when
she brings in a two-column ar-
ticle on the knitting bee, give
Bill Jones a boost for having the
largest pum pkin in the country
congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Jim
Sykes on the latest arrival, agree
to keep scandal and gossip out
of the paper, give the liquor traf-
fic a black eye, mould opinions
and set type. That's all. Isn't
it lovely to be an editor-man?
Have you ever entered the ed-
itor-man's sanctum, that abode
of the shears and the paste-pot?
It is a little den, carpeted usual-
ly with tattered and mutilated
papers. On the walls you will be
apt to see pictures of prize fight-
ers with muscles as big as hame,
and maybe a smirking actress or
two, taken years ago when they
were young. If the editor-man
is the sport of the town, no doubt
he will have a photograph of Lou
Dillon kicking up the dust. Ev-
ery well regulated sanctum has a
picture of the president hanging
on the wall.
Of course the greatest interest
centers in the editor-man. There
he sits at his desk,surrounded by
exchanges, chasing his stubby
pencil across the page. His coat
hangs on the back of the chair,
his shirt sleeves are rolled to the
elbow, a corn-cob pipe is stuck
in one side of his face. He is
blowing clouds of polar bear in-
to the air, and writing at fever
heat. Do not disturb him. He
is lambasting county officials for
graft at the court house. To-
morrow he will lay in a supply of
pencils at the treasurer's office
and appropriate copy paper from
the recorder. His morning sun-
rise necktie sits on the top of his
saw-edge collar and tickles his
ears. A fly lights on the top of
his bald head and fences in a
claim. A swish and a crack,
and the daring blue-bottle has
distributed its carcass over the
editor-man's pate. The "devil"
comes into the august presence,
salutes, and offers his Nibs a
proof, imprinted with a thumb-
mark.
"Jake's out of copy," chirps
the "devil," spitting through his
teeth.
The editor-man scowls and
says something that smells like
brimstone and sounds like an ex-
ploding firecracker. The "devil"
dissappears, still spitting.
Then he bends over his desk,
and sends the pencil along at
break«neck speed, until the page
assumes tho lcok of a bed of
radishes devastated by spring
pullets. At last the editor'man
is through with his editorial—
not forgetting to take a whaok at
the "slimy, lop-eared, wall-eyed
serpent who edits the disreputable
two-by four sheet in Shin-bone-
alley." When the paper is on the
press* the editor-man climbs into
his automobite (exchanged for
adtertising), and goes honking
hbm« to his don-jon among the
