THE NEW FED OF THE IAS
Oklahoma baa set tbe whole country
agog by the many innovations and rad
icalisms she is Introducing In the law
making way. But tbe mere admission
of. Oklahoma to the union of states, ne
ceaaitating aaltdid her representation
on the blue Seld of the flag In tbe form
cf a star, has induced a rearrangement
of those stars on tbe flag, a thing of
national importance equal to any ex
perimeat she is trying on herself.
Okiahom i is th'v 46th star. Tbe war
and navy departments have issued gen
eral orders concerning the new flag.
This is tbe arrangement, bow do you
like it? 8 stars on tbe firat, third,
fourth and sixth rows, 7 on the second
atid fifth, the old form of the circle be
ing di* carded for straight lines.

It's the place where the editor of the
Defunct Diamond Drill and the editor
or the Cordova Alaskan, borrowed $25

A QUARREL ABOUT WORDS
A picturesque scrap Is on in the east- {
ern prrs* over the authorship of a rhyme
about a lot of mangy malainutes, says
the Juneau Record. The fight started in
a peculiar way. Not long ago a man
with the scalloped name of Owen E. '
McGillicuddy, sent the poem ?? Outing, ;
and it wus there published over his
name.
Then came a Miss Pauline E. John
son, saying she had written the rhym
let, and had published it in Rod and
Gun some time before over her name.
Mi?s Johnston is an authoress of some
fame, and has a tinge of romance added
to her person ility through the fact that
she is an Indian princess or a descend
ant of some of the proudest of Indian
families of Canada.
The jingle over which the trouble
brews follows:
Out of the night and the north;
Savage of breed and of bone,
Shaggy and swift comes the yelping
band,
Freighters of fur from the voiceless
land. ?
That sleeps in the Arctic zone.
Laden with skins from the uorth,
Beaver and bear and raccoon,
Marten and mink from the polar belts,
Otter snd ermine and table pelts?
The spoils of the hunter's moot.
Don': be bashful. Get tbe Bull Dog C
cigar at Tony Dotero's. lm I

The man stepped up on the mat
And knocked the old Board of Trade
flat
Says Tuck "That's no go,
You struck a foul blow,
We'll put a door in the alley for that."
Rex, the goat Is fond of his beer,
Up the Board of Trade alley he'll steer,
Off the pool table pockets he likes
to dine,
Then be butts the bartender for a
bottle of wine,
By the time ha hits the street he's feel
ing queer.

Man did not get himself Into the
world, but ho often takes groat credit
to himself for his native state.
The trouble Is there are too many
people about nlaking a noise like a
geueral election.
It won't do to advise every one to
concentrate the mind because there
aro people whose uilud would be u
minus quantity If any concentration
were to occur.
You wouldn't suppose that a strong
pull could be translated Into a soft
