Twenty-six homicides in one week
in Mississipi is its worst recdrd. Sun-
flower county had six of these kill-
ings, Hinds county three and Simp-
son county two and the rest in differ-
ent parts of the state.

Five men are at work on the Moyer

Negro cotton pickers from Texas
are drifting into Oklahoma. The cot-
ton c.op in the Lone Star state is
pretty well exhausted and the south-
ern part of Oklahoma is furnishing
employment to many cotton pickers.
< tklahoma is rich in her agricultral
and gas and oil products. There is
no state in the union that has more
natural advantages than Oklahoma.
We have gas, oil and coal in abund-
ance, and as an agricultural country
there is none to equal it.
Last Friday was Thanksgiving in
the Dominion of Canada,"and it is pre
sumed they had a good time. Our
thanksgiving will occur in about three
weeks from now, and if turkeys have
any regard for their life they will
roost high from now on.
At any rate, the st;ite of Oklahoma
with one end resting on the banks of
the navigable Arkansas river, with
coal, iron, timber, marble, oils and
minerals, is better than a purely ag-
ricultural one cut out of an inland
plain. Oklahoma and Indian Terri-
tory together, will make one of the
greatest states in the Union; separat-
ely the superlative quality that will
astonish the country, will be taken
out of them. A statehood partner-
ship is not for immediate benefits of
cither, but the permanent ones for
all time. Its citizens arc to become
one people. State Register Guthrie.

An Incorrigible \Defr
The Intelligence of the dog suffered
somewhat by an Athens narrative n
which it is made to appear that an oM
dog owned by F. Holcorab recently
engaged with a rattler on the lo*
grounds near the town, and was se-
verely bitten. Mr. Holcomb was fa-
miliar with the formula for snake
bites. He had some of the medicine
on hand, consisting of whisky and
quinine mixed in quantities to suit
Opening the dogs Jaws be turned a
liberal dose down him. Two or three
days elapsed during which the animal
was nnabl* to walk straight, yet he
seemed not to have any pain and in
fact appeared to enjoy himself. But
at last be was sober again. One would
aaturally think that having been bit-
ten onee he would have fought shy
of the swamp afterward, but the mo-
ment he was able to navigate he was
back among the boys again watching
for more sn.ke.. Thit 1. b,jr h.

Origin of Two Well-Known Words.
St. Martin, when he divided bis
cape with a beggar at the gate of
Amiens, gave also two words to the
English language. The oratory in
which this torn cape was preserved
as a sacred banner acquired the name
of "Chappelle"—from the French
•'chape"—the custodian being termed
•chaplain"; and thus the f English
words "chapel" and ' chaplain are de-
rived.

Are Kind to Thetr Morses.
Evidently there is one place where
there is little need of a society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals,
and that is Jersey. The farmers there
are so careful of their horses tbat
they do net work them more than Is
absolutely necessary, and frequently
do work which is done elsewhere by
horse*
If a farmer has to plow a heav7
pf^ce of ground he is obliged to use
ula team, but if the ground whl-b is
to be broken up is light It is very
probable that he will take the place
of a horse.
At first glance labor of this kind
may seem very irksome, but it really
\f not, for the farms in Jersey are
small and it does not take long to
cultivate the ground. Still, in othet
places where the farms are equally
small no one thinks of sparing tb
horses, and there is little doubt thn
up-todate agriculturists consider tM
Jersey farmers far behind the times
because in the kindness of their
hearts they are as lenient to their
borses as possible.

The Real "Pina" Gauze.
"Flna" gauze, made by the wome*
of the Philippines from pineapple
,pikes alone, Is as delicate as chiffon
and far more durable. They use only
the best leaves and these, tied Into
bundles, are placed unuer heavy
itones In the bed of a running stream.
Auer two or three days of this treat-
ment they are exposed for a time to
tne action of sun and air. Each piece
Is closely inspected to make sure that
the process of decomposition was
thorough, and if it was not the leaves
are subjected a second time to the
operation. The flbroui threads are at
last wholly separate from the cellu-
lose and llgnose particles and cleaned
from the sap and gummy substance.
The whole is then beaten with a wood
en mallet, grooved on the !aces like a
fluting machine. The threads are kept
moist while this beating Is in prog-
ress and the separate threads are thus
Dlended Into one mass. In color the
fibers vary from crejm and light gray
w pure white. After th« "pineapple
cloth" is finished figures are stamped
>n it with blocks and afterward work-
ed or embroidered by band,
