The death of Chief Saucy Calf of the Osages at Pawhuska, Okla., and | the suspicious clrcumstances sur- rounding his sudden departure for the happy hunting ground recalls a story they tell at Pawhuska on the chief, ‘The greatest honor an Osage can con fer on a friend is to trade names with him. “Sassy” Calf being of genial nature, traded names with half the male residents of Pawhuska. He did most of his trading at the McLaugh- lin-Farrar store, where he always greeted the senior partner with “How Sassy Calf?” McLaughlin always re- plied, “Hello, Mac.” Qne day Sassy Calf appropriated McLaughlin’s office ckair and cocked his feet on the mer- chant’s desk. McLaughlin entered and said jocularly: “Hello, Mac, I want to get §6 worth of bacon and charge it to me.” “Nuthin’ doin, Sassy Calf,” rejoined the chief without a smile. Honor of College Students. Abuses of liberty, as well as nearly | all other college delinquencies, can | be largely prevented by a consistent appeal to the undergraduate’s sense of honor, according to Clayton Sedg- wick Cooper, writing in The Century on “The American Undergraduate.” “Recently,” adds Mr. Cooper, ‘I asked the president of a North Carolina col- lege what he regarded as the chief characteristic of American students. He replied promptly, ‘College honor.’ At Princeton, at the University of Virginia, at Amherst and at many- oth- er institutions the honor system in examinations, arranged and managed by students, represents the deliberate intention of the undergraduates to do | the square thing. These laws, which the students voluntarily impose upon themselves, are enforced more vigor- ously than the rules of the faculty.” TAKE NOTICE AND REMEMBER That now is the time to see the architect about the improvement you intend to do next summer on your residence or business building, remember that to.get your cottage or business block conveniently and artisically arranged you do well in calling on Phone 127.

NEWS TRAVELS IN HOSPITALS Wireless Outdone In Rapidity with Which Patients Get Forbidden Information. “A very efficlent system of wire- less telegraphy exists in every hos- pital,” said the nurse. “Apparently all patients have the knack of trans- mitting messages, otherwise the news of serious cases would not travel so quickly and accurately from ward to ward. It is' contrary to the rules for hospital attendants to retail gossip, and most of them do observe strict secrecy, yet notwithstanding that pre- caution there is never an lnteresting case in the building whose history is not known and discussed in the re. motest corner. “Last week a boy suffering fromi a peculiar kind of throat trouble was brought into a first floor ward. The doctors were very much interested in the case, yet they took special pains never to mention it in the hearing of another patient. But for all the good their caution did they might as well have lectured on the case in every ward; for when the boy died men and ‘women all about the nospltal sald to the nurses: ‘“‘So that poor boy dled, dld he? I guess there wasn’t much hope for him from the start. “Now, how did the news travel?” COOKED EGGS ON FLATIRON With the Gas Stove Frozen Up, New Yorker Proved Himself Equal to the Emergency. The prolonged cold spell this win- ter sharpened the wits of many per- sons. who never before had any idea of the uses to which electricity could be put. When the gas gave out in ~ooking stoves owing to the pipes be- Ing frozen—as it did in hundreds of bouses—there was a rush for electric cooking utensils, But sometimes the emergency arose when it was not possible to buy such things in time. Omne such case oc- curred at breakfast time and left the family with nothing on which tq cook eggs. The master of the house knew they had an electric flatiron. He told them to invert it and cook the eggs on its polished undersurface, which was done without difficulty. Small pancakes and toast were cooked in the same way. Another resourceful man used a flatiron to thaw out a frozen radia- tor, while yet another, in order to make his radiator more efficent and stir up the stagnant air in a room, placed an electric fan on the floor and direct- ed a blast of air against the radiator. The effect of this was.-to raise the temperature of the room 25 degrees In half an hour. —_————— Her Reward. The cook for a well-known Seattle family left, and no other could be ob- tained, 8o the lady of the house did the cooking herself, with such satis- factory results that, after a month, her husband gave her a beautiful set of sables as a token of his apprecia: tion of the good dinners he had en- Joyed. & Of course the neighbors soon heard of this, and when the cook left in an- other equally wellknown family the lady of that house said to her hus- band: “Well, the cook has gone and I'm not going to bother to get another. I'm going to do the cooking myself, deary. You heard what Mr. So-and-So gave his wife when she did the cook- | ing?” And, putting her arms round his neck, she cooed: “What shall I get for my cooking?” “Woman,” said her husband, push- Ing her away, black vell!”—Saturday Evening Post. One Good Deed to Her Record. - ~ Tsi An, the late empress of China, has not always been regarded as a model of the gentler virtues, and yet there is a story to the effect that each year on her birthday she was in the habit of buying from her own pri- vate purse 10,000 captive birds and setting them free, praying to the gods as she opened each cage that they might not be caught agafn. You judge a man not by what he promiges to do, but by what he has done. That is the only true test. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy judged by this standard has no superior. People everywhere speak of it in the highest terms of praise. For sale by Barker's Drug Store. T i “you will get a long, | P FAGE LONG SESSION Congress May Sit Untll After Na- tional Conventions. SUPPLY BILLS ARE FOUGHT Deadieok Betwesn House and Senate Might Leave Departments of Gov- ernment Without Any Visible Means of Support. By QEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—This year in congress there has been a disposition to tacl "extranéous legislation” onto the ap- propriation bills. Under the Republic- an rule no legislation was put on the supply measures except that which the party members claimed had a rightful place there. Years ago there was adopted in congress what was called the Holman rule prepared by Repre- sentative Holman of Indiana, “the watchdog of the treasury.” This rule allowed legislation to be put on the supply measures provided it ‘was in- tended to decrease government ex- penditures. The Republicans repudi- ated the Holman rule, but the Demo- crats have reinstated it. The army approjyiation bill carries legislation reducing the cavalry of the army from 15 regiments to 10, and it contains some other legislation which the Republicans- say is “extraneous.” The senate is Republican and it seems to be opposed to the action of the Dem- ocrats in attaching legislation to the supply measure. There are arguments for and against the course which the Democratic majority In the ho has followed, but the right or the wrong of the thing aside, the fact remains that the senate-is likely to get at log- gerheads with -the house over these matters and as a result it may be that congress will sit until a time long after the national conventions have been held. Produces New Situation, It either house wishes to do it, it can hold up appropriation bills and by refusing to sanction them can leave de- partments and branches of govern- ment without visible means of support, provided, of course, *hat adjournment comes before the supply bills have been sanctioned. If the senate shall agree with the house and pass the ap- propriation measures with their riders it 1s possible, perhaps even probable, in one or two instances that the presi- dent will veto the bills which he does not like. If he should veto the army bill, for instance, because of attached legislation of which he disapproves, the army officers and the 60,000 or 70,- 000 enlisted men would be left without & cent of pay, and.more than this, there would be no money for the pur- chase of supplies. .This thing did hap- pen once away back in the time of President Hayes. He vetoed an army appropriation bill because it had a rider on it to which neither the presi- dent nor his party-could subscribe. The matter which was put onto the biil at that time, however, was to some ex- tent political and controversial in its nature. Nothing bas been put onto the aprpopriation bills this year which I8 not either directly or indirectly con- hected with the service for which the money supplied by the bill is voted. It 1s said that there has been no situation just llke this within the memory of the oldest member. Fifty years ago Saturday, March 9, was fought the celebrated battle be- twean the Monitor and the Virginia, |- or, as she has been popularly called, the Merrimac. The whole story of th history making fight . between these two vessels has been told again and again within the last few days. Con- troversy has been reawakened and there Union officers and Confeder- ate officers still living who say that no naval battle ever was so “improp- erly reported” as that between the tyo fronclads in Hampton Roads in March, 1862. Changet javal Arohitecture. It is not necessary to go into the subjects of controversy. It seems as if it should be sufficient in one sense for the world to know that from the day of that fight the whole system of naval architecture changed, the iron- plad and steelclad replaced the wood- en ships and there started that grad- ual development of naval construction which today is represented by the big battleship type, a type which it has been predicted soon will pass, and that inside of 30. years armor plate will be discarded. It is sald that the vessels of the fu. ture will be able to make 40 knots an hour and that.they will fight at long range and that the ome which gets hit first will go ta the bottom. The 4th of ' March this year was & repetition in Washington of the 4th of March when President Taft was inaugurated. ‘A blizzard prevailed and the snow was four or five inches deep. This condition of things on the day of the month- which next year will be fnauguration day was a better argu- ment to congress: for & change ot the date of the Inauguration than was any plea advanced by the thousands of peo- # le who had been asking the change. ‘A constitutional amendment is neces- pary to change the date of the oath taking by the newly elected president. fThis cannot be effected in time to put forward the inauguration day of ext year, but .congress seems to be of & mood today to submit the matter of & change of ‘the conmstitution to the tates, and it seems likely now that five years from now the elected pres- ident, whoever he is, will take the oath of office on' the Iast Thursday in April, ithe day when George Washington took {it in New York when he entered on his first term of office. MUST HAVE SHOCKED MUMMY French Custom House Officer Did Not Know He Was Dealing With " Defunct Monarch. /M. Maspero, the famous French Egyptologist, tells in some reminis- cences of an amusing experience ‘Which befell him on one occasion When' bringing an Egyptian mummy to Europe. It was the mummy of & king, and an important contribution o8l | mourners.”—New Ym World cers ‘would not Tnslst too rigldly upon payment of duty. The first of these functionaries ‘whom he encountered, however, insist- ed upon doing his full duty. He opened the box which contained the mummy, and exclaimed: “Halloa, what have we here?” “A Pharaoh—a genuine Pharaoh of the sixth dynasty,” said the scientist. “A—na Pharaoh?” gaid the puszzled officer. “I don’t seem to remember what the duty on Pharaohs is.” He get to work to look up “Pha- raohs” in his tariff schedule, but found no such article entered in his Hst. “This importation,” said the officer, finally, “does not seem to be provided for under the statutes. We shall have to follow our usual rule in such cases, and class it with the highest-taxed article of the kind that it seems to belong to. I shall classify your Pha- raoh as a dried fish.” ARRANGING THE ICE CHEST New York Grocers. Now Send an Ex- pert to Show Young Housewives How It Should Be Done. “Hven grocers are taking a hand in the education of young housewives,” said the pretty woman. “I did my first marketing last week. The grocer knew I was green. When I had fin- Ished buying he said: ““Now, do you know how to arrange things in your icebox to the besc ad- vantage?” “I sald I was afraid I dldn’L He called a young man from the rear of the store. . ““James,’ he said, ‘When you deliver this basket of things will you show the lady the most economical arrangement of her refrigerator? “Fifteen minutes later white-aproned James was turning my ice chest up- side down. He made a place for everything, and said it ought to be kept there. The meats, for example, should always come between the milk and butter and thé fruit and salads. When he finished my refrigerator held twice as much as I had been able to get into it. Another wondrous phase of the situation was that James re- fused a tip. “‘We make a point’ he sald, ‘of showing customers the proper arrange- ment of an ice chest’”—New York Press. Gaelic Alphabet. Men familiar with the Gaelic tongue tell us that the alphabet of that an- cient language is the most curious of all alphabets, in that nearly every let- ter is represented by a tree. The al- phabet of today comprises eighteen letters; ancient Gaelic had seventeen. Now, as of old, all the letters with the exception of g t and u, which stand for ivy, furze and heather, are called after trees. The Gaelic a b ¢ now runs: Ailm, beite, coll, dur, eagh, fearn, gath, huath, iogh, luis, muin, nuin, oiv, Dpeith, ruis, suil, teine, ur, Wwhich is equivalent to saying: Elm, birch, ha- zel, oak, aspen, alder, ivy, whitehorn, Yyew, rowan or quicken, vine, ash, spin- dletree, pine, elder, willow, furze, heath. In the ancient Gaelic alpha- bet the letter h (the huath, or white- horn) does not exist. The alphabet i8 called the beth-luis-nuin, because b, 1, n, and not a, b, ¢, are its first three letters. Question of Seeing. Lady Gregory was discussing, in an interview in New York, her Irish Players and their Irish plays. “Some people, it is evident,” she sald, “don’t like our plays. Others again, think that the plays of John M. Synge and W. B. Yeats are works of art—beautiful works of art. It is a matter of eyesight. “It is like the two gentlemen on the American liner who fell into con- versation. One complained about the monotony of his home, at Kilkee, in County Clare. But the other, knowing the wondrous beauty of Kilkee, with the wild Atlantic surges beating on its rugged coast with sublime grandeur, sald: “‘It may be monotonous—but what a view you have!” “‘View? sald the Kilkee resident, ‘No view whatever. Why, man, there’s nothing at all between us and Amer fea’” Parliamentary. “This is all so sudden, Mr. Samp son,” she said, with maidenly re- serve, “and so unexpected, that al though I confess I am not entirely indifferent to you, I hardly know what to say in reply to—" “If you are in favor of the proposi tion,” suggested Mr. Sampson, who, like Dick Swiveller, is a perpetual grand master, “you will please sig- pify your assent by saying ‘Aye.” . “Aye,” came softly. “Contrary?” “No!” thundered the old man, open- ing the door. ‘The noes have it by a large ma jority,” sald Mr. Sampson, reaching ‘hastily for his hat. NOT - YET APPRISED OF LOSS But Mourners Would Be Plentiful When They Came to Realize Their Bereavement. Cohn and Goldberg went into the diamond business. They got about $100,000 worth of diamonds on credit. “Now, how vill ve make it a suc- cess?’ asked Goldberg. “I got it,” answered Cohn. “We will put the diamonds in a cofin and ship it to Canada and you and I will go_as chief mourners along to Can- ada.” So they got two black suits, black bordered handkerchiefs and all the trappings for mourning. They accom- panied the coffin to Montreal. As the baggage man took the coffin out of the baggage car they stood beside it cry- Ing. “Are you the only mourners?” asked the baggage man. “Yes, right now,” responded Cohn. “But in 30 daya there wfll _ba. more mourners and in 60 days still SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1912.
