When the time comes for hard labor, the Negro is alright; when the time comes for voting, the Negro is alright; when the time comes for war, the Negro is alright; But, when the time comes for representation the Negro is all wrong. What is the cause of this? It must be his color, because the law has no color. There should have been at least one Negro selected in District No. 2 to represent his people in the Single Statehood convention at Oklahoma City, July 12, 1905. It is not the intelligent Negro's desire to associate with the white race, but it is his desire to ask for his constitutional rights as a citizen, especially his civil and political rights. The white citizen has COPYRIGHT Muskogee, I.T., Thursday, July 20, 1905. And continues 15 days REMEMBER THE PLACE not and will not submit to taxation without representation, and why should the colored citizen submit?

LOUIS MANUFACTURERS OF “STAR BRAND SHOES” W.N.U.—Oklahoma City-—-No, 29, 190 FARPI MISCELLANY Alfalfa and Innoculation. We sowed alfalfa a year ago in May on well prepared sandy loam, worked down to a fine tilth, it being in a good state of fertility, sowing about twenty pounds of seed to the acre. We {noculated it from an old field of alfalfa, where a few plants remained, sowing the dirt by hand immediately before putting in the seed. In this process we failed to make the dirt meet, and when the alfalfa got started we could readily see where the soil was inoculated and where not, by the color and size of the alfalfa. However, we got a good stand and it wintered all right. This spring the non-inoculated strip offered the same as it did last summer; and we cov: ered it with good stable manure, tak- ing dirt from a well inoculated spot and covering each load before scatter: ing. In this process the dirt became well mixed with the manure and hence was evenly distributed over the soil. From that time on the weakiy strip began to take on new life, nodules appearing on the~ roots, and when cut, which was on June 13, could see but a mere trace of them, it being pract@lly all inoculated and making about three tons of fine hay from two acres of ground, first cutting. C, M, Teegarden. Kosciusko Co., Ind, Good Grades. Grades among horses and cattle are more easily produced than full bloods because the number of unregistered females is far greater than the number registered or that have the right to be registered. It requires the selection only of a good sire to insure a certain amount of quality, but to get the best quality it is necessary to have a good dam as well as a good sire. Good grades whether of horses or cattle, are worth far more than poor grades. We have no standard of grades and can have none, though breeders from time te time have tried to put upon. paper what they considered the points of good grades of different breeds. Some day we may have associations dealing with grades only, and when that time comes the*characteristics of the good grades may be defined by rules tend ing toward a standard, | Butter from Argentira.

Tuberculosis may be prevented by keeping it out of the herd. If it gets in, it spreads with great rapidity. As a result of promiscuously adding ani- mals to their herds, several of our experiment stations have had to slaughter almost all of their dairy ani. mals. All animals should be purehased on the tuberculin test and then should be retested in three or six months. Also milk from the creamery should not be fed the calves unless it has been heated to a point where all germs ef tuberculosis will be killed. a. < zy) WA rs i Wag : Pa LS) fy al C H WORK FOR SHIRTS COLLARS CUFFS AND FINE LINEN Facts Are Stubborn Thin Uniform exgellent quality for over a toate ofa century has steadily increased the sales of LION COFFEE, The leader of all package coffees.

FORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them "poison." The definition of "narcotic" is: "A medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convulsions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc. You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed.

Blowing Them Good for Developing Lungs of Anaemic Children Blowing soap bubbles for the development of the lungs of nervous and anaemic children is a treatment advised by a Montreal physician, and it has met with remarkable and gratifying results. The Canadian doctor, who has devoted himself to obstetrics has found in the latter years of his practice that mothers in the fashionable world object to crying babies, and do not hesitate to sanction the use of opiates by nurses—and the nurses give full and unqualified approval—and he recites what is well known to every physician, that the baby which is lulled to sleep and not permitted to howl and yell becomes deficient in lung power, and after babyhood is past is a weakling. He has undertaken the treatment of just this class of children by the simple but originl method of expanding and contracting the lungs by a pastime which the sickliest child will take hold of with little or no persuasion. He has devised a saponaceous mixture which will make tough soap bubbles, so that in the desire to increase the size of the thin-walled globe the little patient will exercise his or her lungs to the fullest extent—and the simple little trick is working wonders.—New York Press. Nutmeg Tree and Fruit "A nutmeg tree," said the New Haven gardener. "It looks like a laurel, doesn't it? Such trees are rare in these parts. "The nutmeg tree begins to bear at the age of ten years. It keeps on bearing until it is ninety. The fruit resembles an apricot, and when it is ripe, it bursts open, showing at its heart the black nutmeg enclosed in a network of scarlet. "The nutmeg, after plucking, must bed ried. It is dried over a slow fire, and the process is tedious; it often occupies two months. "Before shipping the nutmegs are always steeped in sea water and lime. This is to protect them from insects. They have nothing but insects to fear. In an anti-insect condition they keep—well, they keep practically forever."—New Haven Register. "Obey" should be left in the marriage service. A considerate husband is one who would lay an express command on his wife only when he thought it for her welfare, and a loving wife would obey this command without question.—Carolyn Halsted. Sillicus—I wonder why most people think women have no sense of humor? Cynicus—Because they take men seriously. It Matters Not.

The splendid article under the head of "Then and Now" and for which no credit was given, was written by Miss Nellie Glass, the gifted, talented, and amiable young lady from Parsons Kansas, who attended the Summer Normal at this place. There has been so many compliments given the writer of the article that in justice to all concerned we make this explanation. Everytime the republicans join in a non-partisan convention or gathering they get the worst of it. For the reason that the democrats stick together, and the weak kneed, sore head republicans join them. This was seen in the recent pretended statehood convention held at Oklahoma City. It was simply a Democrat convention with a few republicans there. BIG EAST SIDE LUMBER YARD. GEO. D. HOPE LUMBER COMPANY DEALER IN Lumber, Lath, Shingles, Sash, Doors, Lime. Cement, Etc.

THE TEACHER'S FOE Overwork Tells How She Escaped Misery of Enforced Idleness, “TI had been teaching in the city schools steadily for six years,’’ said Miss James, whose recent return to the work from which she was driven by nervous collapse has attracied attention. “They were greatly overcrowded, especially in the primary department of which I had charge, and I had been doing the work of two teachers. Tho strain was too much for my nerves and two years ago the crisis came, “was prostrated mentally and phy- sically, seut in my resignation and never expected to be able to resume work. It seemed to me then that I was the most miserable woman on earth. I was tor- tured by nervous headaches, worn out by inability to sleep, and had so little blood that I was as white as chalk. “After my active life, it was hard to bear idleness, and terribly discouraging to keep paying out the savings of years for medicines which did me no good." “How did you get back your health ?”” “A bare chance and a lot of faith led metoacure. After I had suffered for many months, and when I was on the very verge of despair, I happened to read an account of some cures effected by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The state- ments were 80 convincing that I some- how felt assured that these pills would help me. Most people, I think, buy only one box for a trial, but I purchased six boxes at once, and when I had used them up, I was indeed well and had no need of more medicine. “Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills enriched my thin blood, gave me back my sleep, re- stored my appetite, gave me strength to walk long distances without fatigue, in fact freed me from all my numerous ail- ments. I have already tanght for several months, and I cannot say enough in praise of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.” Miss Margaret M. James is now living at No. 123 Olay street, Dayton, Ohio. Many of her fellow teachers, have also used Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and are enthusiastic about their merits. Sound digestion, strength, ambition, and cheer- ful spiritsquickly follow their use. They are sold in every drug store in the world. Ever, iime conceit is punctured character is strengthened. nouauit NY curedm serlonsayanay troubte festa Se pounds “ik Wardell, Surusvilie, Nod.

Modern Surgeons Able to Accomplish What Was Deemed impossible. Modern surgery’s great achieve- ments have been in the abdominal re- gion, For a generation ago fear of blood-poisoning kept the surgeon out of this territory. Here disease in: trenched itself and bid the surgeon defiance. But now the surgeon intrep- idly enters disease’s former strong: hold, routs it, and in doing so performs life-saving feats with the organs that seem absolute miracles to the onlooking world. Take the stomach. If it is too large the surgeon enfolds a portion of the «all and sutures (stitches) the edges; if a part of it is diseased, say with cancer, he cuts it out, sutures the edges, and if necessary, cuts a new opening for the head of the small in- testine and sutures it into place; if the esophagus is obstructed so that food can not be taken naturally a tube is inserted through the abdominal wall into the stomach, and when the man is hungry he merely drops a premasti- cated meal into the tube; or, in case a cancerous area is so large as to de mand such a severe operation, the surgeon may remove the entire stom- ach-and suture the esophagus to the duodenum, Contrast this last operation with the working principle of the '70s, that to enter the stomach is deaih, and you see how far surgery has traveled in a generation. This last operation is, of course, rarely performed even now, but there are to-day a few stomach- less persons in the world (one return: ed to work within two months after the operation), attending to their regu: lar duties, taking a special diet, and apparently just as happy as if their stomachs were not in jars on labora- tory shelves.—Leslie’s Magazine, Mr. Noble’s Promise Given. In the early stages of his ministry, the Rey. Mr. Noble preached for some time in a village in Maine. One day & committee called upon him to set: tle with him for his services, and after stammering a while signified to bim that his further services were not desired. “What does this mean, gentlemen?” asked the parson, “Why,” replied the spokesman, with some hesitation, “the people have got the impression that you are inclining to universal salvation.” “Gentleman,” answered Mr, Noble, “I never preached that doctrine; but if I ever should, I promise to make the people of this town an exception.” The Golden Day.

Stabs Winston Churchill, the novelist, has, or assumes to have, a great detestation for minor poets.

As they ate they conversed, But thefr conversation was not the sincere and friendly talk that usually occupies the pauses of a luncheon. It was a series of stabs, of mean little attacks, of covert and cowardly assaults, “‘T saw your sonnet, “To a Gilt Soul,” in the Trash magazine,’ said the first minor poet. “"Ah, said the other, ‘did you?’ “‘And T heard a very neat com- pliment paid to it this morning,’ he went on, “Indeed?” ‘Yes.

How Johnson Sides Was Vindicated by Nevada Legislature. "With Indiana and Arkansas passing freak legislation, what can we expect next?" asks the chap that is always trying to dig up matters which are likely to disturb a fellow of the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "But did you ever hear of the act of the Nevada legislature? I do not think there ever was anything like it. It seems that one Johnson Sides, an Indian, educated at an eastern college, returned to his tribe to preach about the crime of drinking spirits of any kind. He proved to be a splendid temperance advocate of grand power and made many converts until——. Well, one day Johnson Sides was caught taking a drink. He said afterwards that it was because he had the stomach ache. Some people were so impolite as to doubt this and intimated that perhaps Mr. Johnson Sides had been in the habit of having attacks of stomach ache all the time that he was lecturing against intemperance. This made Mr. Sides feel bad. It not only took away his drawing power as a temperance advocate, but almost broke his heart. He thought about it deeply and he thought about it long. Suddenly he received an inspiration. He went to a friend, a members of the Nevada legislature, and had a long talk with him. As a result the following appears or the minutes of that body: "Senate joint concurrent resolution No. 11—Resolved by the senate, the people of the state of Nevada concurring, that the drink of whisky taken by Johnson Sides on the 17th day of September, in the city of Virginia, county of Story, be and is hereby declared null and void.' "And thus was Johnson Sides vindicated." On the Right Track. Dr. Weir Mitchell relates the sad case of a young woman from Baltimore affecting literary fads who attended a reception given by a Philadelphia woman in honor of a well-known writer. The young woman from Baltimore was introduced to the whole roomful of more or less celebrated individuals, and it seemed to be a circumstance on which she prided herself that she could remember an amazing proportion of the names of those present. When, however, she came to say farewell to a certain rather distinguished young man, who, by the way, was probably the only person there who was not of a "literary" turn, she remarked: "Do you know, I've remembered very nearly all the names, but when it comes to yours I must confess that I'm entirely at sea." With a smile the young man replied. "Then you're not far from wrong. My name is Atwater."—New York Times. Golden Calves. "I was a good-sized boy," said Dr. Adolphus F. Schauffler, vice president of the New York City Mission and tract Society, on a recent occasion, "before I had my first brand new pair of pants. They came down past No. 1, 2 and 3 before they got to me. I was taught that it didn't matter what I had on my legs, so long as I had something reasonably creditable in my head. As I look back over my classmates in college there's only one of the rich fellows that's ever amounted to anything. It was the poor boys that had to hustle that have been heard from. Many rich fathers who were poor themselves send their sons to college and lavish money upon them, and when they look at the result they feel like using the dords of Aaron: "I poured gold into the furnace, and there is come forth this calf."—New York Times.
