The Skepticism of History.
There is a reaction from the cred-
ulity of the past. Once learned men
accepted traditions of all kinds as a
matter of course. Now, like the hero
of “A Pair of Spectacles," or like Da-
vid in his haste, they have rushed to
the other extreme and assume that.
If all men are not liars now, they
used to be; or, at any rate, that they
were very poor judges of the truth.
It Is taken for granted that Vasari
never told the truth except by acci-
dent, and Herodotus is, or was, not
much better thought of. St. Paul
wrote but little of what Is attributed
to him, but even he is In a better case
than some poor painters who have
lost nearly all their pictures, and to
modern criticism are like stars too
far off to be seen even with a tele-
scope, and known to exist only by
their influence upon other stars.
As for the great names of legend,
such as King Arthur or Robin Hood,
they are worse off still. There never
were such people at all; and many
of the great persons of history have
only got their fame by accident. The
people of their own time were quite
wrong in thinking them great.
Fish Jumps Into Boy’s Lap.
The high water in the Vermilion
river all this Bpring has made fish
more numerous than for many years,
according to a Centerville (S. D.) dis-
patch to tho St. Paul Dispatch. Near-
ly every one goes fishing here nowa-
days. An amusing incident occuired
here the other day while Robert Ege
was fishing just below the dam. A
six-pound pickerel concluded to break
the record for high jumping by try-
ing to get above the dam.
Robert was sitting about four feet
above the water on the edge of a
nearly perpendicular bank, dreamlng-
ly wondering if a fish was ever really
big enough to swallow Jonah whole
without even a scratch, when sudden-
ly from out ot the deep shot a
monster pickerel, landing in Robert’s
lap and giving the lad an uppercut
on the chin with a Hop of the tail.
Rob dropped his pole and landed a
right-hander on the pickerel's side,
knocking him out on the bank and se-
curing the prize.
This is no “fish story,” but a true
incident which was witnessed by two
of our business men, noted for Ibeir
truth and veracity.

Heating a Greenhouse.
The heating of a greenhouse by the
sun is usually explained by the fact
that glass permits the passage of light
rays, but is almost Impenetrable to
heat rays, so that as the light falling
upon the enclosed objects is converted
into heat and partially reflected, the
reflected rays cannot escape through
the glass. Thus the heat accumulates.
To test this long-established theory.
Prof. W. R. Wood blackened two
pasteboard boxes and covered one
with a plate of salt, which readily con
lucts both light and heat, and the
jtber with glass. The salt-roofed box
aecame even warmer than the other,
■his being true also when the heat was
arst filtered from sunshine through
glass. The conclusion is that the
ground and other objects are heated
uy the Incident rays, and that this
teat is then spread by convection cur-
rents, but, as the confined air cannot
mix and circulate with the outer air,
t concentrates a larger amount of
neat

PARTISAN NEWSPAPERS WOULD
MISLEAD PUBLIC SAYS GOV.
Guthrie, Okla.—Dishonest Journalism
Is the charge made by Governor Has-
kell recently in an interview relative
to the attitude of some newspapers
on the matter of the republican pe-
tition for the referendum against the
general election - -bill.
"There seems to be a determined
effort,” says the governor, “on the
part of a certain class of partisan
newspapers to mislead the public con-
cerning the referendum petitions of
the aylor election law. In the first
place, the governor has nothing to do
whatever with the proceedings up to
date, and no one has made request of
any kind of action by the governor.
“As to the filing of these petintions
with the seertary of state, Mr. Cross
the secretary of state, has exercised
his own judgment, without ever, at
any time, discussing the question with
the governor, nor asking the govern-
or’s opinion concerning the same. The
secretary of state is thoroughly com-
petent to manage his own office and
(has certainly done so hi every respect
to the great benefit of the people of
Oklahoma.
“In the matter of the referendum
petition for the election law, there
being apparently a serious question in
the mind of the secretary of state
as to whether or not the proceedings
taken by the petitioner's committee
were in accordance with the law, he
rendered his decision that passes the
matter up to the supreme court for
final determination, and in so doing
he has done the petition an act of
kindness instead of doing them a
wrong.
' Last year we voted on a referen-
dum petition (the dispensary law)
first, and learned later from the su-
preme court that the question was ill
legally submitted. It is good sense,
after that experience, to test the le-
gality of proceedings before the trou-
ble, labor and expense of an election
has been incurred, and it only shows
the good sense of the seertary of
state to pass these disputed questions
up to the supreme court in the be-
ginning.
“The petitioners have lost nothing
—neither in time, money nor labor,
and long before the time will arrive
for an election the supreme court will
have had time to finally pass upon
the question and remove all doubt as
to whether the questions were legally
formed and filed.
“Now, then, what criticism can there
be of the secretary of state? And in
view of the fact that the governor
has had nothing whatever to do with
the matter, what criticism can there
be of him?
(Signed) “C. N. HASKELL.
Governor.”

Hostilities in South America
Lapaz, Bollvia.—The greatest dis-
order prevails throughout the city.
The Bolivian government has decided
not to accept Argentine's arbitral de-
cision on the boundary question. This
is considered an equivalent to a decla-
ration of'war with Peru. The Argen-
tine minister at Lapaz, Seuor Fonse-
ca, has been ordered to withdraw
from that country in case he is not
able to obtain Immediate and complete
satisfaction with reference to the hos-
tile manifestations against the Ar-
gentine Republic.

Then use the proper sized screwdriver

Metallurgical.
A man with a bronze complexion
went up to a girl with a silvery voice-
and had the brass to attempt to kiss
her. She resisted and. giving h'im a.
steely glance, called loudly for a cop-
per. "One of "the finest” qirlokly ar-
rived on the scene and, with irony In
his voice, made 'me man his prisoner

Feminine Perversity.
Wlho can account for tho perversity-
lot feminine tastes? The homeliest
man In New York is said to have re-
ceived 72 offers of marriage. He evi-'
dently Is an example of the fascina-
tion of ugliness.—Cleveland Plain-
Dealer.
Beneficient Bacon.
It is « well known fact that bacon-
cut thto, well cooked, brown, crisp,
and dry, can be taken regularly and
for a long time by those who find alt
other fats Intolerable. This makes it
a valuable article for delicate children
and others who are weak and fastid-
ious.—Harper’s Bazar.
Woman's Weapons.
If a woman has a soft voice, if her
dress Is only the right kind of sim-
plicity, if she knows how to look down
and look up at the psychological mo-
ment, if she has only mastered the art
of combining tbe wisdom of the ser-
pent with the gentleness of the dove,
she can outwit a dozen of the stereo-
typed brand of adventuresses.—Lady's
Pictorial, London.
Burglars’ League.
Rules of a "Burglars’ League,” of
which he was president, were found
on Jean Relauol, who was arrested re-
cently at Lyons. One provided for the
exclusion of "any member who shows
incapacity for the profession, and is
arrested thrice In succession;” anoth-
er provided for an admission test: and
a third insisted on the equal division
of the spoils.
For Quinsy Sore Throat.
Someone, I have forgotten who,
asked for a cure for this painful trou-
ble. I have known the following to be
very successful!: mix thoroughly equal
parts of alcohol and glycerin, and one
tablespoon of mixture to one.half glass
of water and use as a gargle. If ta-
ken when throat first shows trouble
will usually break up the attack. Use
the gargle frequently. This is good
for any sore throat.
Logical Inference.
Lord Lucas, who is so ably sup-
porting Mr. Huldane In the territorial
scheme, tells a good story of a teacher
in a Midland town noted for his pa-
triotic fervor. One day he was explain-
ing to his class what he thought was
a sad lack of proper spirit in the aver-
age English boy. "Now, Tommy,” he
said, "tell us what you would think
if you saw a Union Jack waving proud-
ly over the field of battle.” “I should
think," was the logical reply of Thom_
as, "that tho wind was blowing.”—
