The Vinita Leader this week is
eued a thirty-six page Christmas
edition, nicely printed and well
edited. It is a splendid advertise
meot, not only of the town but of
Ibe enterprise of the publication.
There are more and better

aver before. A glaoce at the ad

any one who is skeptical.
Dontforget the elecnon of school
directors Saturday. This is the
most important election we have.
We are Epending more money on
our schools than on all else com
bined. We have recently bonded
the town in the sum of $12,000 for
school purposes and of our ten
mill tax, six mills goes for the

Some one nays that "labor was
tbe stamp of a elave in antiquity,
the mark ol a eert in the middle
ages, but the glory of a man ol our
day". In this modern idea ot
labor we are getting back to "the
good Old days of Adam and Eve."
They were not placed in the gar
den to lounge under its trees, but
'to dress it and to keep it." Mil
ton thus reports Adam's evening

The statement that If the Indian
territory don't get statehood now
that it may be left out ten years is
hardly in the bounds ot reaton.
The trend of events now is that
statehood will come for tbe simple
reason that agitation will go o.
until it is accomplished. The state
hood fight will go" on until the ter
ritory baoomes 1 state.
The people of Viniita should be
thankful that they are so well sit
uated, wbtn their condition is con
trasted with people in many parts
of the east. The Bpectacle ol chiia
abor. unrequited, and pincned by
cold and hunger. In this great
west there is work for all at living
and a coal famine of loi g

great privilege to live in this mg

How It Caused the Death of the Man
Who First Introduced the Band
Leader's Wand. .
The inventor of the baton has been
discovered. According to the investi
gations of a Frenchman the credit be
longs to Lully, the composer, who
eventually had cause to regret his in
vention, i
Before he adopted the baton, con
ductors were in the habit of pounding
on the floor with their feet or clapping
their hands to mark the time. Lully
found it wearisome to keep his foot
constantly in motion, and so used a
stick to strike the floor and beat time.
He used a pole six feet long.
One day he brought down the pole
with such force that it struck his foot
and made a deep wound. lie paid no
attention to the matter. The wound
grew worse and ultimate? caused his
death.
After his time conductors tried
more and more to improve the baton
and it was ultimately brought to its
present form.

Indiana men are tjie tallest of all na

latter the tallest of all civilized coun
