The Muskogee Cimeter. REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION STOLEN BY ENEMIES OF A SQUARE DEAL HAMILTON CLUB AND ITS NEW BLACK MEMBERS, TAKEN IN AT LAST MOMENT. WIN WITH DOUGLASS RESOLUTIONS Vol 8 Political Platform of C. B. Douglas, Editor Muskogee Phoenix. Clipped from Phoenix of September 25, 1906. The Resolutions Were Written by C. B. Douglas, Himself and Presented to 11 Other Editors Who Voted FOR Them. We, the members of the republican Press Association of the Third Congressional District declare as follows: Whereas there is an apparent misunderstanding existing among the voters of the district as to the position of the party on the so-called race question, and. Whereas, the republican party has DISCHARGED its OBLIGATIONS to the NEGRO in that it gives him full civil rights, equal with every other citizen and still stands for that policy. Therefore, be it resolved by this association that the republican party of the Third Congressional District is OPPOSED to NEGRO DOMINATION in any sense. That it stands for separate schools, SEPARATE COACHES and SEPARATE WAITING ROOMS for NEGROES which shall have equal facilities and comforts of those furnished other races. That it is opposed and WILL USE EVERY MEANS at its command to PREVENT the nomination of negroes on any elective ticket, seeking the suffrage of the other races. On this declaration of principle all classes and all nationalities of citizenship are earnestly invited to allign themselves with the party of progress and prosperity. C. B. DOUGLAS, Muskogee Phoenix S. S. COBB, Wagoner, The Republican County Convention was called to order at 2 p.m. in the Lanning Hall by chairman Martin. The buldozers from the Hamilton club and their black cohorts were there in force ready for the taking of the Convention "vi et armis." Huckleberry was thers with his usual tactics and by the most unfair means ever heard of, obtained control of the temporary organization. The insult to Hon, Henry Asp by the Hamilton club was the most disgraceful thing ever witnessed. The thing was so rotten that when Huck tried to act as seargent-at amrs the editor of this paper objected and then the row came on. The assassins were there with revolvers and with some kind of protection openly flashed them. It is useless to detail all of the disgraceful things that occurred but there was nothing added to the strength of the party. Time will prove who the Negroes were that at the last moment changed front and supported the Hamilton club. They also had some white company. DOTS. When the row came up it is said that there was a neck and neck race between Soper and Douglass as to who should get on the outside first. They certainly made a high sprinting record. The chairman was afraid to vote by delegation the contest was on between Twine and Huck. The plan was fixed for Huck and it had to go that way. Four of the five members from Taft voted for the Doug resolutions and the Hamilton club. Sango was there with exagerated ego and a loaded revolver which had been twice drawn during the day; both times in offense and not for defense and always against the Negro. The stealing of the Reeves Addition delegation from J. H. Smith and the 8th precinct in District 76 for Mr. Ewell was one of the outrages that will cost the party dearly. It is said that J. Carter Cook is the man who held the revolver behind Twine's back until a Colored man took it from him. Assassins are too d—n cowardly to face a MAN. Any coward can shoot a fellow in the back. Down South method. The supposed minority is a fighting force and is right and will win in the end. The sentiment of the rank and file is still against the constitution and a state ticket. The fight on the constitution and ticket will continue. VENTION RE DEAL S, TAKEN IN AT SOLUTIONS The fellows claim that the county Convention has not adjourned but will re-convene and nominate a ticket. If such high handed proceedings is attempted the Democrats will have easy sailing in this county. No Mr. cuss we are not hunting a band wagon and won't jump in even when invited. If Hubbard voted for Haskell last year, how can he object to a Republican who votes for Jim Davenport this pear. FEDERAL EMPLOYEES Must Take no Part in Politics SAYS ATTORNEY GENERAL BONA- PARTE PARTE Attorney General Bonaparte has called the attention of the federal employees of this city to the the civil service regulations which forbid them to take any active part in politics beyond the private expression of their opinion.

Kind Woman's Assistance Meant Much to This Tramp. A certain lady, noted for her kind heart and open hand, was approached not long ago by a man who, with tragic air, began: “A man, madam, is often forced by the whip of hunger to many things from which his very soul shrinks— and so it is with me at this time, Un- less, madam, in the name of pity, you give me assistance, I will be com- pelled to do something which I never before have done, which I would Greatly dislike to do.” Much impressed, the lady made haste to place in his hand a fiye-dol- lar bill, As the man pocketed It with profuse thanks, she inquired: “And what is the dreadful thing I have kept you from doing, my poor man?” “Work,” was the brief and mourn- ful reply.—Harper's Weekly. Humming Birds In Enoland. Considerable interest is excited by the humming birds now on view at the zoological garlens. Fifty-three of these tiny, fragile birds were taken on board from Venezuela; many died on the voyage, but the fittest sur- vived, and 20 reached Regent's park alive. At the time of writing 17 are shown in two large glass cages fur- nished with flowering plants, and placed in the insect-house, which can be kept at a high temperature. Moths in a cage near look bigger than these small birds. It is to be hoped that these dainty feathered gems may take kindly to their new surroundings, and live long to delight the eyes of many dwellers in smoky London.—West minster Gazette. Did Not Prevent Raveling. The raveling of state highways in Massachusetts during dry weather has generally been prevented in the past by spreading a thin coat of sand over the surface. During last year, how- ever, there were two quite protracted dry spells which disturbed the bond of the road and caused loose stones to stand up on the surface. Although sand was spread thinly as before, it did not prevent the raveling in all in- stances.—Engineer. A SMALL SECRET. Couldn't Understand the Taste of His Customers. Two men were discussing the var- fous food products now being supplied in such variety and abundance, One, a grocer, said, “I frequently try a@ package or so of any certain article before offering it to my trade, and in ‘that way sometimes form a different idea than my customers have. | “For instance, I thought I would try some Postum Food Coffee, to see what reason there was for such a call for it. At breakfast I didn't like it and supper proved the same, so I naturally con- cluded that my taste was different from that of the customers who bought it right along. “A day or two after, I waited on a lady who was buying a 25c package and told her I couldn't understand how one could fancy the taste of Postum, “‘T know just what is the matter,’ she said, ‘you put the coffee boiler on the stove for just fifteen minutes, and ten minutes of that time it simmered, and perhaps five minutes it boiled; now if you will have it left to boil full fifteen minutes after it commences to boil, you will find a delicious Java-like beverage, rich In food value of gluten and phosphates, so choice that you will never abandon it, particularly when yoo eee the great gain in health.’ Well, I tovk another trial and sure enough I joined the Postum army for good, and life seems worth living since J have gotten rid of my old time stom- ach and kidney troubles.” \ Postum is no sort of medicine, but ipure liquid food, and this, together with a relief from coffee worked the ‘change. ‘There's a Reason.” ( Read “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. SOMEWHAT OF A REFLECTION. Naive Comment of Debutante That Amused Hostess. A charming hostess of one of the “big houses,” as they are called by those who are welcomed into them, has the added beauty of premature white hair. That which seems to her contemporaries an added charm may appear to the crudely young a mark of decline, at least so it appears in one instance of which the hostess her- self tells with enjoyment. The lady is a connoisseur of an- tiques. At one of her teas a debutante rich with the glow of youth, but sadly constrained with her sense of novelty, was handed a cup of tea; the cup was beautifully blue and wonderfully old. The hostess desiring to light: en the strain on her youthful mont by a pleasant diverting remark, said: “That little cup is a hundred and fit. ty years old!” “Oh,” came the debutante’s high strained tones: “How careful you must be to havé kept it so long!” SCALY ERUPTION ON BODY. Doctors and Remedies Fruitiese—Suf- fered 10 Years — Completely Cured by Cuticura, “Small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs and shortly afterwards they became so sore that I could scarcely walk. The sores began to heal, but small scaly eruptions ap- peared. The itching was so severe that | would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. After I suffered thus about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctor in my native county and many remedies gave no relief. All this was fruitless. Finally my hair began to fall out and I was rapidly becoming bald. A few months after, having used almost everything else, I thought I would try Cuticura Ointment an¢ Cuticura Soap. After using three boxes I was completely cured, and my hair was restored, after fourteen years of suffering and an ex- penditure of at least $50 or $60 in vain- ly endeavoring to find a cure. B.

Hugo Osterhaus, the new captain of the battleship Connecticut, praised at a dinner in New York the old salt of the past. “He has disappeared,” sald Capt. Osterhaus, sadly. “We made fun of him, end before our ridicule he blush- ed and vanished. “Such stories ag we used to tell of him! “One, for instance, dealt with an old shellback’s beard.

Agent Canadian Government, Watertown, 8. D. Dear Sir: Your letter dated Nov. 27th at hand and was very glad to hear from you. I see that you are still at work per- suading people to move into the Cana- dian Northwest. I must tell you that I owe you many thanks for persuading me to come out here, am only sorry that I wasn’t persuaded sooner, and there is still plenty of good chances for many more right at the present time. I hope that you will be able to induce more to make a start out to this part of ‘the country. Now I must tell you what I have accomplished since I came out here and it won't be three years till the 1st ot July. I shall shortly receive my patent for my homestead, the horhe- stead cost me $10.00 in all, to-day it is worth $30.00 per acre, but it is not for sale. Then a year ago last May [ bought 320 acres at $7.00 per acre and sold this fall for $20.00 per acre and cleared a profit of $4,160.00. How is that for the Northwest? I now have 320 acres of land and all paid for, 15 head of horses, 30 head of cattle, 22 pigs, 2 sheep and about 150 chickens and other poultry, and all new ma- chinery and everything is pajd for. We also bought 8 lots in Calgary and 7 in High River. We gave $470 for the 15 lots and they are paid for. At present I consider myself worth $13,- 000.00, and when I left Wisconsin less than three years ago I had about $2,000.00. This year I threshed a little over 4,000 bushels of grain, have about one thousand bushels of fine potatoes and about five hundred bush- els of turnips. Mrs. Beistegel sold about $200 worth of garden truck and poultry this fall. Now there are lots of others in this community who did as well as I did in the same length of time. The family and myself are all well at this writing and hope this letter will find you the same. Yours very truly, (Signed). PHILIP BEISIEGEL, Cayley, Alta., Canada, Quite Desirable.

Give us a fire station on the West Side and give the Negro boys a chance to "fight fire." They will prove themselves worthy and will make a record of which the entire city will be proud. We are still against the misfit constitution and also the patched constitution. We are against a ticket no matter who wants a job. We stand where we have always stood, that is for justice and right. It is a pity that the city administration has no organ to defend it from the assaults of the enemy. The Phoenix gets the city printing, but its Democratic stockholders see that their masquerader does not support Republican officials. The Republicans can carry this county and district if they are wise enough to do the proper thing now; if not, there will be trouble in the future. Let us have the right kind of harmony not the Douglass brand; the brand which seeks from us the harmony of voiceless acquiescence, but the harmony which comes from the recognition of the rights of all. The amended, patched constitution is worse than the first effort; in fact, it reminds us of the bunglesome work of an inexperienced boy who tried to mend the rent in the rear of his trousers but who failed to cover the rent or to add to beauty and comfort of his apparel. The mobbing of the Negro at Osage Junction is a sample of what Douglass and his Negro henchmen are working for. Doug, gave more space to murder without comment than he ever did anything that is elevating to the Negro. Nobody knows who turned the Negro over to the mob at Osage. Yet the man was in the hands of an officer and of course the officer was asleep and does not know who took his prisoner. The Hamilton Club proposes to dictate the politics of this county aud Doug is dictating to the Hamilton Club, If you are for one you are for the other the Douglas platform and all. Harmony. The degree of harmony now existing in the Republican party is about nil. The fellows who aim to call a County Convention and nominate a ticket by reconvening the convention just adjourned will of course add to the harmonious condition of affairs. The conspiracy to commit murder by the assination route also adds to the pleasant condition of things and the grand stand plays of the sprinting Colonel will put flavor in the harmonious pie. The Grand chorus of the hamiltonians, "where he leads me I will follow," the solo by him of goatee fame, lends color and charm to the concordant chorus, while the bass solo by the borhorts recently admitted to the inner circles of the silk stocking outfit through the temporary suspension of the color clause adds diversity and pictureskness to the well attuned whole. This soothing melody will just naturally and irrisistably draw all the offices to the hamiltonians. Everything is now serene. All is well from the captain of the squad of liftum dungi to the members of the congressional committee. It also made big chunks of harmony when chairman Falwell refused to order a roll call when Huck was defeated for member of the State Committee and declared Huck elected. The party is now in good shape to face the enemy and give him a good drubbing. No doubt the Democrats are now trembling for fear they will be swept from the face of the earth by the silk sock brigade. H. P. SHOWALTER GENERAL INSURANCE Milwaukee Mechanics Fire Ins.

Prepares Winter Quarters. Collinsville, I. T.,—Spencer Alexander, general purchasing agent of the Ringling Brothers circus, left here last Tuesday for Galveston, where he hopes to contract for daily shipments of fish, commencing about Nov. 10. Mr. Alexander stated that each Sea Lion required about 20 pounds of fish per day, and that it would require a small army of fishermen to supply their winter quarters. Wm. J. Patterson closed a contract with the Ringling circus to deliver them 700 tons of prairie hay this winter, and Robert Thornton agreed to supply the carneverous animals with sufficient fresh meat, the price to be governed by Kansas City quotations. In discussing the new location for winter quarters at this place, Mr. Alexander said: "Several newspapers in Wisconsin have been ridiculing our change to this city, but Mr. Ringling knew what he was about when he purchased lands down here. Theer never was a time in the history of the show business when time played such an important part. We have been freezing long enough, and down here the animals of every clime will not suffer. Our new winter quarters will soon be under way, and nearly 300,000 brick will be used in the buildings." "Colonel Ringilng told me several months ago that he intended to locate somewhere in the Indian Territory, but none of us knew that Collinsville was the lucky spot until some weeks ago. I am sure this move will be duly appreciated by the army of riders, trainers and employees, to say nothing of the wild animals that require an even temperature." Collinsville Clean-up Day a Success. Collinsville, I. T.: "Clea nup day" in this city resulted in great good; there being 200 wagon loads of weeds cut off vacant lots, side streets and alleys. Tomorrow night there will be a great bonfire just outside the city limits and arrangements are well under way to hold a grand ball nearby with blazing grass and weeds as a torchlight. By actual count there were 794 men and boys engaged in the battle with weeds and unsanitary conditions. Every conceivable kind of weapon was used, even to an ax and crowbar. A local wit was heard to say that "Carrie Nation with her hatchet would look like 30 cents with the 3 rubbed off." The fight was fast and furious and the field of battle is as clean as a new pin. Mayor Pruitt stated today that his "order" to clean up had been carried out to the letter and that Collinsville was indeed clean, morally and otherwise. He said the beauty show to be held in October would probably impose additional civic duty upon him, but he felt equal to the task. Won the Case. The Katy road will have to stop discriminating in the matter of hauling cotton past her doors to the Loesser-Goldman compress at South McAlester. Messrs Bradley and Roach, attorneys for the commercial club and the traffic bureau, the bodies which brought the matter to the notice of the interstate commerce commission this past February, received a letter yesterday afternoon from Mr. Franklin Lane, a member of the commission, saying the commission's decision had been in favor of Muskogee and that an official order would be mailed to the railroad in a few days. The fact that the Katy hauled cotton past Muskogee to the Loesser-Goldman people at South McAlester was to blame for the closing down of the Gulf Compress company in this city. It is said that the Loesser-Goldman company threatened to withdraw its enormous patronage from the Katy unless the road gave it all of the cotton along its line, north and south in the Indian Territory. This is a notable victory for Muskogee, especially so since the Interstate Commerce commission agrees with the city's contention that the spirit of the Texas statute, forbidding a railroad to haul cotton past a compress, ought to be enforced in the Indian Territory.

Many stories are told of the eccentric doings and sayings of an old clergyman who lived in Maine some years ago. At one time there had been a fight among some men, one of whom was seriously hurt. A trial took place, and the old minister who had seen the affray was summoned as a witness. "What was Salson doing?" was the first question. "Oh, he was slashing around." "Well, sir, just what do you mean by that?" "Why, he was knocking about him here and there." "Now, sir, kindly tell us plainly what Salson did to this man." "Why, he—he enticed him," said the old minister slowly. "He enticed him with a crowbar. He used the crowbar to persuade the man—to entice him; and by a series of pokes and blows he succeeded in doing it," said the minister, mildly. Tip from the Sage. "Well," yawned the sage of the park bench, "this business of chasing dogs around the town and taking them to the pound may be all right in some ways, but it certainly is wasting a lot of valuable power." "Power?" ejaculated the park policeman in surprise. "Yes, power. When a dog is in a good humor he wags his tail, doesn't he?" "Believe he does." "Well, now, if we could keep all the stray dogs in a good humor and stand them in a row and let them wag their tails from morn till night, why, man, there would be enough power generated to run a trolley line. Niagara wouldn't be in it. Wonder to me some genius don't try to harness those wags." Chiggers and Mosquitoes Are now in their glory—their business is good and they are happy. There is no earthly use of your letting them chew on you, however, if you don't like their ways. A little Hunt's Lightning Oil applied to exposed parts will keep them off, and immediately relieve the irritation caused by their bites. Rub a little on and see for yourself. A Square Deal. A certain peasant supplied a baker with three pounds of butter daily, and after some time the baker noticed that the butter never weighed three pounds. At last he summoned him. "Have you no scales at home?" the judge asked. "Yes," said the peasant. "Have you weights?" "Yes, but I never weigh butter with them." "Why?" "Because, since the baker buys my butter, I buy his bread, and as I always buy three pounds at a time, I weigh the butter with the bread." He was acquitted.—Siarcz. Wintersmith's CHILL TONIC Manlike. Breathless, they stood at last upon the towering Adirondack peak. "There," she said angrily, "we have climbed all this distance to admire the beauties of nature, and we left the glass at home."

"Three years ago I was in a wretched condition with backaches, bearing down pains, and at times was so sore and lame that I could not move about. I had inflammation and irritation, and although I used different remedies they did me no good. "A neighbor who had been using Peruna advised me to try it, and I am glad that I did. I began to improve as soon as I took it and I felt much better. "I thank you for your fine remedy. It is certainly a godsend to sick women. Catarrh of the Internal Organs. Miss Theresa Bertles, White Church, Mo., writes: "I suffered with catarrh of the stomach, bowels and internal organs. Everything I ate seemed to hurt me. I never had a passage of the bowels without taking medicine. I was so tired mornings and ached all over. I had a pain in my left side, and the least exertion or excitement made me short of breath.

Corn stalks are one of the best ready fertilizers available. They contain elements taken from the soil, so in returning them to the soil we are giving back a part, at least, of that which was taken from it. When corn stalks are burned on the ground, the greater part of their value is lost. The ash which remains is a valuable fertilizer, but if the whole stalks are returned to the soil, all of this ash is saved and also the other substances which, in their decay, liberate more soluble plant food. A fertilizer to have high value should furnish available plant food, and also improve the physical condition of the soil. Good commercial fertilizers do the first, but not the second. Stable manure furnishes readily available plant food, and also has a high value for improving soil texture. The same is true of all organic matter applied to the soil if it be in a condition for ready decomposition. Corn stalks in contact with moist soil readily decay, hence, they become available as plant food. As an improver of soil texture, corn stalks have few equals. Being very large, when plowed under, they make the soil loose which allows free access of air. This effect is felt for two or three years, which is not so much the case with smaller plants turned under. The highest good can be had from corn stalks by husking the corn as early as it will do the fall, pasturing for a short time with cattle and hogs to save the waste ears and grain, then immediately dragging them down with a heavy drag or harrow, says Farm and Home. This brings them in contact with the moist winter and spring soil for partial decay, and prevents the washing of the soil to a large extent if the land be hilly. In this way, they are half decayed when plowed under, give little trouble for the season's cultivation, and furnish rich plant food for the summer's growing crop. WHEEL FOR PULLING POSTS. It Makes the Usually Hard Task Easy. When I have removed the wire from a fence and wish to pull the posts I take an old corn planter wheel, attach a chain to the base of the post and pass it over the top of the wheel to the whiffle-trees, as shown in the il- Wheel for Pulling Posts. lustration, writes a correspondent of Prairie Farmer. I find that this makes a very convenient device and posts can be pulled without very much difficulty. Some men that own separators and have good herds of cows report much profit in selling cream to one class of customers and skimmilk to another set. Sometimes the same customers want both the cream and the skimmilk. On account of the separation they pay more for each. --- BURNT CLAY ROADS. Way in Which Some Sections Are Getting Good Roads at Small Expense. Clay becomes more or less hard and impervious to water when subjected to heat. Clay has been so far considered one of the worst road-building materials, combining with the gentle rain to form a sticky mire destructive of locomotion by man or beast. The clay, however, may contain within itself the very elements of the salvation of those regions in which it predominates, as witness this from the Southwest Magazine: "A method has been discovered for converting gumbo roads, long a dread to those who have had to travel in rural districts, into clay-ballasted highways. The process which has been conducted in the Yazoo Valley of Mississippi has been not only simple, but satisfactory and not costly. "After grading the road to an even width between ditches, it is plowed up as deeply as practicable. After the plowing has been completed, furrows are dug across the road from ditch to ditch, extending through and beyond the width to be burned. Across the ridges formed between these furrows—which should be about four feet apart—the first course of cordwood is laid longitudinally so as to form a series of flues in which the firing is started. From 15 to 20 of these flues are fired at one time. "The best and soundest cordwood is selected for this course and should be laid so that the pieces will touch, thus forming a floor. Another layer of wood is thrown irregularly across the floors, in crib formation, with space left between, in which the lumps of clay are piled in close enough to allow a draft for easy combustion. After the clay has been heaped upon the floor, another course of wood is laid parallel to the first. "The third layer is placed in exactly the same manner as the first, and each opening and crack is filled with brush, chips, bark, small sticks or any other combustible material. A top layer of clay is placed over all and the finer portions of the material are heaped over the whole structure; the latter being taken from the side ditches. Finally the whole is tamped and rounded off so that the heat will be held within the flues as long as possible. When coal is available, the two top layers of wood may be omitted and the coal slack thoroughly mixed with the clay. "It is necessary to get the fires well under way in the flues before the first layer of wood is burned through. The first action of the fire is to drive out the water contained in the clay before the actual burning and clinkering can begin. The firing should be begun on the windward side, and the best results are obtained by firing all the flues of a section simultaneously and maintaining the combustion as even as possible. In case the combustion is too rapid in any flue, it may be regulated by banking the mouth of the flue with clay. "After the firing is completed, not only the portion of clay which forms the top of the kiln, but the ridges between the flues should be burned thoroughly, so as to form a covering of burnt clay 10 to 12 inches in depth, which, when rolled down and compacted, forms a road surface of from six to eight inches in thickness. "If properly burned, the material should be entirely changed in character, and when it is wet it should have no tendency to form mud. When the material is sufficiently cooled, the roadbed should be brought to a high crown before rolling. This can best be done with a road grader. The finished crown should have a slope of at least one-half inch to the foot. "A burnt clay road will last indefinitely, and it has the double advantage of being dry in wet weather and free from dust in dry weather. There is splendid opportunity for road improvements of this character in the southwest." Fertile Brain Has Evolved a New Style of Cradle. A new cradle has been invented—and by a man. Which latter statement is a dedundancy—for no up-to-date woman would really ever think of inventing anything so pernicious to her infant's welfare. Has she not become enlightened to the dreadful ills of that time-honored institution of our ancestors? Dare she imperil the intellect that is to sway the twentieth century by untimely "juggling" in its embryo stage? Poor modern babe! When colic's gripes assail, it may not know the luxury of a steady tramp swung across father's shoulder—strange to say, men do not jeer at this dictum of the new motherhood—much less will it experience the bliss of being lulled to rest in a wooden-slatted cradle or fluffy bassinet, swayed by the foot of a wondrous being who swings and croons, swings and croons, till baby woes are merged in blessed sleep. Its maker claims that sideways rocking is, indeed, injurious to babykins, but to his eyes, not his brain. Therefore he has constructed a cradle that swings lengthwise, and is shaped like a boat! WESTERN MEN IN NEW YORK. Brains of Mountain and Prairie In Demand in the Financial Center. Ever since the early days, when D. O. Mills, J. B. Haggin and James R. Keene "emigrated" from California to New York, the metropolis has been drawing largely on the west and south for its supply of "men who do things." Theodore P. Shonts, both a southerner and westerner, who has undertaken to solve New York's great transit problem, is the latest importation in response to the call of the east. The promptness with which Thos. F. Ryan, of Virginia, turned the Equitable Life Assurance Society over to its policyholders, who now elect a majority of its Board of Directors, and divested himself of the control of the stock which he bought from Jas. H. Hyde, and the success of the new management of the Society under the direction of President Paul Morton, have created a demand for the strong men of the south and west that is greater than ever before. Under the Morton management the Equitable has made a better showing than any other insurance company in the way of improved methods, economies and increased returns to policyholders. E. H.

A man who runs a truck farm in Virginia tells of the sad predicament in which a colored man named Sam Moore, who is in his employ, recently found himself. Sam had had considerable difficulty in evading the onslaughts of a dog from a neighboring farm. Finally the dog got him, as Sam kicked at him. Sam's wife, hearing a tremendous yell, rushed to the rescue of her husband. When she came up the dog had fastened his teeth in the calf of Sam's leg and was holding on for dear life. Seizing a stone in the road, Sam's wife was about to hurl it when Sam, with wonderful presence of mind, shouted: "Mandy! Mandy! Don't frow dat stone at de dawg! Frow it at me, Mandy!"—Youth's Companion. One Extreme Or the Other.
