A Significant Nickname
The unfeeling frankness of youth
does not stop at unpleasant truth-telling
Even the gentle sex may suffer
at the hands of its brothers It Is
dangerous for a girl — at least for a
girl at a coeducational school — to echo
Burn’s wish
“O wad some Pow’r the giftle gie us
To see oursel’s as others see us!
lest her desire be realized with unex-
pected fulness For — could mind of
women ever think It? — the boys of
these schools have nicknamed their
sister students “fussers!” Was the
najue born of the numerous soft pil-
lows and footstools with which the
maidens fill their rooms the chafing-
dishes and teatables and hatpin-cases
and ring-boxes and alpenstocks and
rocking chairs which make dangerous
a hasty progress through the femi-
nine study? At all events the com-
bination of these feminine acquisitions
has embodied itself in the crisp mas-
culine epithet “fusser” Perhaps the
phrase Is a comment on a state of
mind as well as on a method of house-
keeping In the opinion of the college
boy Maid Marian “fusses" about les-
sons about “marks” about commit-
tees about what faculty or classmates
think of her She lacks his cheerful
fatalism and he tags her with the
epithet which he thinks fits her con-
science and her mind as well as her
room and her wardrobe The modern
girl says Youth’s Companion must
find a way to free herself of impedi-
menta both physical and intellectual
if she would induce her critics to drop
the objectionable nickname and grant
her rank as an artist in the pleasant
business of living
All the iron furnaces in the world
produced less iron in 1894 than will be
turned out of the furnaces in the
United States during the current year
if the rate of production for the first
six months is maintained This fact
Indicates a marvelous expansion in
the iron business No more convincing
proof of the solid foundation of the na-
tional prosperity could be - afforded
than this for it is well known that a
nation’s consumption of iron is an in-
dex to its business condition This
is not because there is any mysterious
virtue in iron hut because iron is used
extensively only in prosperous times
Nearly 13500000 tons of pigiron were
turned out from January till June
This is more than the total yearly out-
put for any 12 months prior to 1899
and more than either Germany or
’England have ever made in any full
year There are no indications of ia
falling off in the American production
On June 30 29 new furnaces were un-
der construction and 13 more were
pifo£eteL The United States produces
nCt iron and 'more cotton than any
5 oiltfircountry It exports the greater
p&jjjL of the cotton but uses nearly all
ef the iron In Its own Industries
Knabenshne’s airship bumped into a
schoolhouse in Toronto with unpleas-
ant results for the operator The air-
v ship may have been aware that its
early education had been neglected
Consul the monkey that has figured
as a guest of honor at Newport din-
ners smokes two packages of 1 cigar-
ettes a day And there are others
It is calculated that there are about
UOOOfi vessels in the world not count-
ing the schooners that are smothered
to foam as they cross the bar '

WILL BE DRY 21 YEARS
Guthrie O T — The adoption of
the state-wide prohibition ordinance
at the polls gives Oklahoma consti-
tutional prohibition similar to that in
Kansas with the exception that the
Oklahoma provision is in the original
body of the constitution instead of in
the form of an amendment
The vote demonstrated that a ma-
jority of the people want prohibition
and want it enforced C N Haskell
elected governor by the Democrats
has pledged himself to enfbrce the
law and the prohibitionists who sup-
ported him almost to a man will de-
mand this of the Democratic admin-
istration The enabling act stipulated that In
making the constitution for the pro-
posed state the basic document
should prescribe prohibition for In-
dian Territory for twenty-one years
It laid down the prohibition law that
Bhould be incorporated in the consti-
tution governing the Indian Territory
side of the state The enabling act
however left the constitutional con-
vention free to take any action it
might see fit regarding the liquor
traffic on the Oklahoma side
was adopted at the election and Is
therefore a fundamental part of the
constitution
Indian Territory which for seventy
years has been under federal prohi-
bition by reason of the fact that it is
an Indian reservation will after
statehood be governed by the same
prohibition law as the Oklahoma side
At present introducing liquor into In-
dian Territory is a criminal offense
but after statehood the mere act of
a person bringing in liquor for bis
own private use will not be a crime
Otherwise the new prohibition law
will be much the same as before ex-
cept that dispensaries v are provided
for in each county ' where liquor may
be had for medicinal purposes
The Prohibition Sections
Passed Up to the People
The convention after a hard fight
between the prohibitionists and antis
finally decided to submit the ques-
tion of extending the enabling act
provision To the Oklahoma side of the
state to a vote of the electors of both
territories This wag done In the
The prohibition law which will gov-
ern the new state and which is now
a part of the constitution follows:
Section 7 The manufacture sale

nishing except as hereinafter provid-
ed of intoxicating liquors within
those parts of the state heretofore

Osage Indian reservation and within

isted as Indian reservations on thq
first day of January 1901 is prohibit-
ed for a period of twenty-one years
from the date of the admission of the
state into the Union and thereafter
until the people of the Btate shall
otherwise provide hy amendment to
