Col Roy Hoffman’s House Burned
The recent burning of Col Roy
Hoffman’s home at Chandler with
his fine collection of Indian relics and
mementos calls to mind the fact that
every few years some viuable collec-
tion of this material Is destroyed by
fire or flood It will not be many
years until the state will be searching
imvain for many of Its most Import-
ant historical documents valuable
curios and other material of this kind
which dissappear rapidly with ' the
passing years The State University
at Norman is receiving consid-
erable such niatirial from var-
ious parts of the state and is placing
it in a fireproof building where it will
be perfectly safe and at the same time
where it can be seen by students and
by visitors Some of this material is
given to the University some is merely
sent to it for safe keeping The most
recent addition of this kind to the
University’s ethnological muset
consists of the Posey collection which
is said to be one of the best of its kind
in the statof It consists of pottery
basketry wooden spoons ladles’

Inducement to use brains at well as

nized by thinking men as but an Inci-
dent for the purpose of accomplishing
the real object of the Congress which
Is to lower the cost of production
while at the same time increasing the
acreage yield hence Us slogan
“Smaller farms better farming” The
enrollment of nearly 11000 contest- -ants

Inspiration Banner
Some folks simply can’t get along
without little Inspiration clippings and
quotations pinned about their desks
mirrors bedroom walls eto And from
frequent changing the pretty bedroom
paper is soon filled with a smallpox
array of pin pricks The “inspiration-
al” banber solves the problem It is
very simple Have you a school or
college pennant which is not so sacred
that you may not pin-prick It to your
heart’s content? If so hang it in a
conspicuous place on a level with your
eyes and proceed to pin upon it and
unpin from it all the quotations you
please Of course this keeps them
all In one place but that makes them
all the more conspicuous — a desirable
fault If you wish them to attract your
attention

He Had Heard It
It waa during the lunch hour and
four genial business men were sit-
ting at a table Outside the air was
soft and balmy and everything in
nature was a sweet allurement to
buy a railroad ticket and beat It for
the woods “It Is in my system” re-
marked one of the party reflectively
glancing through the open window
“There is nothing so appealing as the
call of the wiid”“It may strike you
that way old fellow” responded an-
other with a faint smile “But right
here I beg the privilege of casting a
dissenting vote" “You don't know
wbat yon are talking about Jim!”
emphatically declared the first “Did
you ever hear the call of the wild?" j
“Yes" replied Jim with something!

A busy English merchant was about
to leave his home In Brlxton for a trip
on the continent and his wife know-
ing his aversion to letter writing re-
minded him gently of the fact
'Now John you must be eyes and
ears for ns at home and drop ns an
occasional post card telling us any-
thing of Interest Don’t forget will
you dear?"
The husband promised The next
morning hts wife received a postal
card: “Dear wife I reached Dover
all right Yours aft”
Though somewhat disappointed she
thought her husband must have been
presaed for time Two days later how-
ever another card arrived with the
startling announcement: “Here I am
in Paris Yours ever” And still later:
“I am indeed In Paris Yours”
Then the wife decided to have a lit-
tle fun and seised her pSn and wrote:
“Dear husband the children and I are
at Brlxton Tours?
A few days later she wrote again:
“We are still In Brlxton”
In her last communictaton she grew
more enthusiastic “Dear husband
here we are In Brlxton I repeat It
sir we art In Brtxton P S — We are
indeed”
In due time her husband reached
home fearing that his poor wife had
temporarily lost her senses and has-
tened to ask ths meaning of her
strange messages With s winning
smile she handed Urn hie own three

The death of Louis Deubel a young
poet of tho Latin Quarter who among
those whose verdict counts numbered
many sincere admirers recalls the
tragedy of John Davidson Deubel’s
dead body waa found a few days ago
in tbe Marne and taken to the morgue
In the clothes of the suicide were his
Llvret Milltaire and six sous That
was all
This is a tragedy of poverty and a
poet’s pride It was known that for
some time things had not been gong
well with Deubel But of late he had
dropped out of sight Hb was never
seen at hla customary cafe and hia
old rooms were vacant nor had he
left any address It was as if he had
feared to be reasoned out of a fatal
resolve Yet he had friends who had
all the will had the power been there
to come to his rescue One of these
the poet Ferdinand Gregh who was
the first to hail Deubel’s talent in the
Figaro writes his requiem He tells
how Deubel left his post of tutor at
Belfort and came in his early eager
twenties to tempt his poetic fortunes
in Paris
“Like all young poets” writes
Gregh “he thought Only of verses of
questions of meter of schools of liter-
ature That for him was the sole
reality of life The rest— politics
finance commerce— were but shadowy
accidents” But “11 fallait vivre” so
the poet his PegaBus in harness be-
came in fact a publisher’s hack
From time to time he ' published a
slender volume which crlticB praised
and the public ignored And then “he
dropped out of Sight” and nothing
more was known of him till his dead
body “with six sous in the pockets and
a Llvret Milltaire” was found in the
Marne "The hard facts of life which
the poet had dismissed as shadowy
had avenged themselves” — Paris Let-
