Did Not Shine King's Boots.
Fivrt Racik, of San Francisco, (he
!*ootblack who went to England to
fulfill his ambition to shine King Ed-
ward's boots, was obliged to content
himself by performing that office for
the lord mayor of London. Racik went
to Buckingham palace and got past
the policcnien at the entrance gates,
bearing a letter he had written to
Lord Knollys, asking his assistance in
j lacing himself physically and ilgttra-
Mvely at the kings feet. Lord Knol
; s refused to aid him.
Another Instance.
"When rich men are abused sc
much, why does everybody want tc
make a fortune?"
"I don't know," answered Mr. Dustin
Stax, "unless it is another case a'
'misery loves company.' "

TESTIMONY OF D03 ENOUGH
Intelligent Action That Saved Life of
Mastiff Belonging to Eminent
Sculptor.
. At a recent reception in Now
i York, (iiitzon Borglum, the sculptor,
was presented to a well-known so-
! eiety woman. The latter looked at
; him hesitatingly for a minute, then !
bnid:
"Yes, I am certain. I am very j
I glad to see you again, .Mr. Borg- 1
j lum."
"I haven't the great pleasure of
remembering," replied the sculptor.
"Yes, it was in Los Angeles," said
the woman, "and you were the de-
fendant in a police court case."
Borglum was flabbergasted,
managed to stammer out thai
was never in a police court in
life.
Then the woman explained,
seems that Mr. Borglum, when
southern California, owned a mag-
nificent English mastiff. The dog
was amiable, bijt tlie children of a
neighbor were frightened by its great
size, and so, one morning the dog's
owner was arrested on the charge of
allowing a vicious animal to run at
large. The judge ordered the animal
to be brought in, and the great beast
gravely marched down the aisle to
[the bench, and, putting a huge paw
on the judge's knee, looked solemn-
ly into his face. The case was at
once nonsuited.

These farms are all nicely located and the\* are all close to school
and they are in the best watered section in Oklahoma, and they are
located from I2 to 4 miles from a good railroad town and we are going
to sell them. We quote laud and sell land just as low as the owner
will permit us to. We have 110 price except the price given us by the.
owner of the land. We get our commission from the seller—not the
buyer—011 actual selling price, and it is a pari of our "stock in trade"
to help the buyer find a bargain.
We have a hundred farms for sale not quoted here. We get farms
to sell because we sell farms.
As to our manner of doing business we refer you to the Security
State Bank of Mooreland or any bank in Woodwarn county.
Write me or come and see me.

CHILDREN AND THE DRAMA.
Dr. Samuel P. Capon, a special
investigator from Clark university,
has completed some interesting in-
vestigations relative lo the likes and
'dislikes of public school children for
ithe drama. Girls, be says, like
tragedies at first, which taste changes
as they grow older to a preference
first for comedies, society plays, and
finally problem plays. "One-fifth of
all the girls between eight and 16
years, and almost a third of all the
boys attending the public schools of
Worcester attend the theaters Tegu-
larlv at least once a week," Dr.
Capen says. "The girls go less I
find, as they grow older. The bovs
go more. The ferocity of the tastes
of the younger school children is ap-
palling. Five boys liked plays in
which there was shooting and mur-
ders, and three little girls liked mur-
der plays."
GERMAN DISCOVERY.
An interesting phenomenon that j
may he of use in the ignition of ex- \
plosives is creating interest in Ger-
many. It has been discovered that i
an alloy of iron and cerium, lantha-
nium, or any other of the rare earths
(as used in manufacturing incan-
descent gas mantles) will create!
luminous sparks on being struck
with some metal tool, such as a knife j
edge, a file, or the like. The shower
of sparks given off at the point of j
impact is sufficient to ignite not only j
gas, but even a cotton wick saturated
with alcohol, and it is possible to
utilize these iron alloys for igniting 1
all sorts of explosives. The behavior i
of these alloys has been found to
vary according to their percentage of j
iron, the sparking reaching a maxi-
mum with a content of ;>0 per cent.
THE MATHEMATICAL .VllNO.
j A literary worker who wished lo
So a large amount of reading by
proxv advertised for an assistant
capable of digesting the contents of
fc, tremendous quantity of books in a
very short while. While weighing
each applicant's qualifications for
rapid, assimilative reading he in-
quired carefully into his mathemat-
ical acquirements. Finally he chose
the man who was most skillful at
untangling arithmetical problems.
"On the surface that seems an un-
necessary accomplishment in this
case," he said, "but experience has
taught me that anybody who is ex-
pert in figures can read any kind of
literature put before him with great-
er accuracy and speed than the per-
son lacking in mathematical acu-
men."
