NEAR THE MILLIONTH PATENT Activities of tmerlran Inventor H - fleeted la the Patent Office Itecnrd. tn July the United States patent office will at the present rate Issue Its one-mll-llonth patent. July 31. 1790. the first patent was laaued to Samuel Hopkins for a de vice for making pearl and pot ashes. Since then one patent haa been Issued for about every 10 adult American men and women who have lived or are now llv.na. The patent office Is an inventlonal chain- I ber of horrora. It la a arave of il ad hopes. J It la tragedy and comedy; It stores and j guards the valuable Ideas of men whose brain children have been atolen by ruthlesa capital, ami the crnxy concepts of crank a. It Is no place for an optlm at. Patents are largely Indicative of local temperament; the "Inventive Yankee" Is not hlmaetf an Invention. South Carolina In ID'iK took out sixty-five patents: w th a straller population. Connecticut, the home of the wooden nutmeg, called for 76. Texas, with many more pe pie than Massa h' setts. gives the patent office only a quarter as much work. Knti'ns, teeming with Ideas, geta leas than one-tenth as many of them patented as New ork. But Oklahoma nearly equals Virginia. Western and south ern Inventors turn rather to snot el and political than to mechanical Invention. ..It Is rhtan and easy to get a patent. but often dltflsult and expensive to fight Infringement suits. That Is one reason why Inventors so pften yield valuable Ideaa to mere capitalists and, after benefiting the world, die mlsersbly in garrets. It has been claimed that the ease of obtain ing patents has worked to the advantage of the United States ss compared with Europe, where the process Is much less eaay, but the system Is not Ideal. New York World. POLITICIAN DIDN;T LIKE PIE What Happened t Oklahoma Candl date Who Slighted the tlrrat Confection. A girl of the Cherokee nation In the hills of eastern Oklahoma baked a pie which has since become famous. She carried It ten derly to tha town of two buildings which wears ths somewhat suggestive nam of Need mora. In the achoolhouse a pi social was being held. The high rating of the pie social among society events Is too well known to require elaboration, and this oc casion was made what is called more aus picious because of the presence of the Hon. Charles E. Creoger, member of congress and candidate for re-election. The pies and auxiliary delicacies cooked by the Cherokee girls were packed In boxes which were sold at auction by a Mr. Burk, an orator. Each buyer found In hla lunch box the name of a partner for the aupper. Congressman Creager bought a tor But he didn't know the rulea. He fal'e- .j hunt up his partner; he didn't like pie; he clipped outdoors when he thought no one wi.s looking and tossjd that disk of pastry and pumpkin over ti.e fere. And he Innocently supposed that his duty had been fulfilled when ne re turned th empty plat to th address en closed in the box. When Auctioneer Jum heard of this Insult to ths l le an I its cook, he denounced th Hon. Ct eager In public with some of the oratory 'or wn:;n tha rams of Burke is famous. Anl -vlien this hsd been cone to a true pumpkin pi brown. Mr. Burk elaborated the speech be fore th county chairman, who tccaro ag gi it ved at th auctioneer's choice of Eng lish and remonstrated by fir inn two shots at hlnj with a revolver. It c Mineqiianc, th story of ths pis that miiu I I s dos tlny became a burning Iss is as wil as an Insult to a proud and ancient nation. Elec tion Is over.
