"Many men of many minds; many
birds of many kinds" was a popular
copy set by teachers in my school-
boy days.
I believe that small and inexpen-
sive microscopes should constitute a
part of the equipment of every up-to
la:e school, /or u:se especially In the
"Jlomontary grade. Suitable instru
uicnts of this class need not cost < x-
ceed'ng a dollar each. My owi.
perience an 1 o^R^'vati^i! in the i
of this instrument convinces me that
no other means is better calculated
ti. arouse a more intense Interest
jn the part of children in tne beauti-
ful and instructive products In the
animal, the vegetable and the mineral
kingdom—when this instrument is
properly used by the teacher.
Remarkable Tree.
(The Needle and Thread Tree.)
To be able to pick a threaded nee-
He from a tree Is certainly wonderful.
Ot the Mexican plans Is a forest
rowth somewhat resembling a giga:
lie asparagus with thick fleshy leaves
ike those of the prickly-pear cactus.
Along the edges of these leaves are
lender, thorn-like needles. If one of
liese needles are desired, all a per-
son has to do is to push it gently
ackward-into its sheath and then pull
: -from its socket, and it comes forth
earing with it many tiny fibres. By
twisting the needle as it is pulled out
the fine fibres unite and make a
strong thread which is attached to a
needle, all ready for use. This thread
is very strong and capable of sustain-
ing a weight of several pounds. The
natives use these threaded needles
for sewing cloth and leaves together.
Lace From a Tree.
On the Island of Jamaica, and some
other places, mosquito netting and
bridal dresses are stripped from o
lofty tree. The natives remove the
outer bark from the tree and separ-
ate the inner covering from the trunk.
This fibrous substance, when macerat-
ed with water, separates into layers
of snowy white lace. About two hun-
dred years ago the governor of Ja-
maica sent the King of England a
cravat frill, and ruffles made of this
lace.
A Shirt Tree.
When a native of Brazil wants a
new shirt he goes to a certain tree,
cuts out a four or five foot log; strips
the outside bark off unbroken, soaks
it, beats it, and cuts silts in It for
armholes, and he hns a shirt all ready
for wear.
A Milk Tree.
There are several species of milk-
trees In South America. That of Bra-
zil Is one of fhe largest trees of the
kind. It furnishes a wood much priz-
ed for ship-building. The tree is tall,
with large oval leaves and dark-brown
bark. It yields a fruit that tastes
like strawberries and cream. A white
milk flows when an incision it made
in its trunk. This milk, like that
which comes from a cow, can be used
In tea and coffee. It will burn easily,
and gives out a green flame. The tree
belongs to the fig-tree family.
Butter From Trees.
The fruit of the butter tree of In-
dia yields a fixed oil which has the
nppearance of butter, and which may
be used for all the purposes that
cow's butter is used.

and ready for business, as 1 discover-
ed on the 4th inst., while attending the
excellent exercises of Sunday schot 1
children at the court house. Those
Insect peBts were present In force and
attracted considerable attention—at
least, on my part—as exhibited by
frequent and vigorous slaps.
Since the Suyders cyclone Btorm
houses have become a popular Institu-
tion In Greer county. If a stranger
passed along nome Mangum alleys he
might suppose a malignant epidemic
had struck the city and victims
were being hurriedly Interred
In backyards. But the funny
point is some husbands attri-
bute the cost of construction to the
excitable nervousness of wives and
children; and yet It Ir said that hus-
bands are not alwaya tho last mem-
ber of the family to dive Into the
subterranean cave when danger
threatens—considering "prudence the
better part of valor." It would be
ntlghty handy for ground-hog Imita-
tors If Mnngum were made a weath-
er station. Then, when a storm
threatens, the (J^nger signal "To
your holes" could bi> displayed In
time to avoid bruised- shins and the
present frequent airing qT bedding af-
ter false nlarms.
There are reformers who never re-
form and progressers who never pro-
gress. After thirty seven yoars resi-
dence In Texas, a mighty good coun-
try, I moved lo Mangum. Here and
In the vicinity were lots of fruit treea.

but precious little fruit, unless Im-
ported. Therefore, I concluded to
show folks Just "how to do It," but on
a small bcale financially. It is fre-
quently the COcksurc fellow who gets
a fall. The sum of $15.50 was invest-
ed in fruit and fancy shade trees. For
two summers I packed water, dug
and mulched around those trees, and
wasted enough sweat to raise a right
smart farm crop. And what do you
suppose is the result? Now, don't tell
anybody—present assets, one measley
apricot bush, one home-sick looking
apple bush, and one—well, just name
It yourself—I can't. As a final "along
this line," the-Snap-Jack fruit experi-
ment station is a permanently de-
funct enterprise, and stock remnant

cent below first cost—that is to say,
just pull or dig it up and throw same

yawning canal with its numerous min-

Texola Topics.
From the Herald.
Prof. T. H. Stanley was in Texola
Monday lu see about organizing a
brass band at this place. He met with
our boys Wednesday night and pre-
sented a scheme whereby they may
all buy their horns and not be out i
cent on them. Of course each will
pay on his tuition but the horns can
be paid f r as they learn. Te-ola
should have a baad and all should
encourage the boys.
Freeney Saunders came very near
getting killed Sunday morning. His
team got pway from him and as ^By-
passed back by he tried to stop them;
was knocked down and run over by
the wagon and team. The scalp was
torn from the back of his head and
he was otherwise bruised up. Several
stitches were taken on the back part
of his head. At. present he is getting
along as well as could he expected. |
A real live Badger fight took place
near Fox Robinson's farm laBt Satur-
day night, which lasted four hours. N.
M. Williams, son, J. W. Lawder and
several others witnessed the fight be-
tween the badger and four dogs. One
of the dogs was killed in the fight,
and finding the other three were going
the same route, Roy Williams took a
singletree and killed the badger.
T. B. Dobson left a large bunch of
alfalfa at the Postofflce Wednesday.
It was raised on his sandy land farm
three miles northeast of town, was
planted last June and now averages
about 24 Inches In height. Mr. Dob-
son also left a bunch of wheat he
raised which was very fine. No crop
beats alfalfa when properly cared for.
and we have urged our farmers time
nnd again to sow alfalfa. If yoy have
not tried a few acres of alfalfa you
had bettor put It In before It Is too
late. Row alfalfa and raise hogs, you
can't do better.

A Big Bone.
From Granite Enterprise.
The little sons of M. A. and J.C.
Johnson, who live about seven miles
east of here near the mouth of Elm,
came In after playing in the sand one
evening last week and told about find-
ing a big 'bone. Mr. Johnson was in-
terested and lit his lantern and went
out to look for it. It proved to be
a bone all right and a big one. Mr.
Johnson put it in his wagon and
brought it to town Saturday and left
it temporarily at this office where It
has been the subject of a good deal
of speculation.
It Is a huge bone over three feet
and a half In length and weighs 68
pounds. Most people figure that It
has been the thigh bone of some
Immense animal of the long ago. Dr.
Baker, without figuring any, estimated
that an animal with such a thigh
bone must have been 16 or 17 feet
high and probably 26 feet long.
The bone is In a remarkable state
of preservation. The recent high wa-
ter dislodged it from the place where
It has rested for so many years. Pos-
sibly some hot dry summer twenty
or thirty centuries a*', >. th mighty
mastodon or lusty llzzor I wandered
down to the river to quench his thirst
and was caught and burled alive In
the treacherous quicksand. Possibly
—but this all hnppened so long ago
no one would believe us If we told
the true story. Suffice it to say ho
was doubtless a good llzzard and left
hig family well provided for.
