The August number of the Woman's Home Companion is primarily an all-story number except, of course, for the twelve indispensable departments that appear in each issue. The second installment of Anthony Hope's New love story, "Helen's Path." appears in this number, and all the other fiction comes up to the excellent standard of Mr. Hope's novel. Among the contributors are Anne Hamilton Donnell, author of "Rebecca Mary," May Isabel Fisk, in one of her inimitable monologues, Zona Gale, Clinton Dangerfield, Mary Wilhelmina Hastings and Jeannette Cooper. Considerable space is devoted to the vacation problem, and Dr. Edward Everett Hale, Margaret E. Sangster, Anna Steese Richardson and the Editor all give some admiral vacation suggestions. The number is elaborate pictorially with a double page of photographs of children of royalty and of other prominent people with their pet ponies—and illustrations by such well known illustrators as E. Dalton Stephens, Blanche Greer and Herman Pfeier. The article of greatest interest to most women in the August number is contributed by Grace Margaret Gould, the fashion editor, on the Coming Fall and Winter Fashions. At this very early date Miss Gould has secured authentic information on this subject, through the exceptional connections that the Woman's Home Companion has made in all the great fashion centers. this article will prove to be of the greatest interest. Mrs. Sangster and Mrs. Richardson continue their talks with girls, Fannie M. Farmer tells how to make some appetizing picnic dishes, and Evelyn Parsons contributes several attractive designs for summer embroidery. The children's pages are entertainig as usual. Guthrie, Oklahoma, Aug. 12. The following editorial taken from the Kansas City Times, an independent newspaper, very neatly disposes of C. N. Haskell's bluff challenge to GovernFrantz to participate in a joint debate: There is no particular evidence of cowardice in the hesitation of Governor Frantz to accept the challenge of C. N. Haskell, the Democratic nominee for Governor, to engage in a series of joint debates in Oklahoma. The joint debate as a method of campaigning belongs to the past. It really serves no greater purpose than to determine the ability of the candidate from an oratorical standpoint and the people of the new state are not concerned just now in electing an orator for Governor. O k i a h o m a should consider the merits of the men from the standard of personal honor and integrity and their capacity and aptitude to serve the people in the extraordinary position of the first Governor of the fine young state. The opportunity for a dignified and conservative consideration of the two candidates would not be enhanced by the bitter and partisan strife sure to be engendered by a series of joint debates. Hennessey, Oklahoma, Aug.. 12 1907. Hon. W. H. Twine, kindly announce through the columns of your paper that a rate of one and one third fare for round trip on the certificate plan has been announced for those who attend the meeting of the St. John Grand Lodge of the A. F. and A. M. wheih convenes at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on August 19. 1907. F. F. Bailey, Grand Sec. The constitution must be rejected to give to Oklahoma and her people a safe, wise, economical and just government and only through the Republican party can it be accomplished. Seven Pharmacists Pass the Board. APPLICATIONS FAVORABLY ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING YES TERDAY. A special session of the Indian Territory Board of Pharmacy was held in Muskogee Saturday the applications of seven pharmacists being acted upon favorably. Present at the meeting were President W. O. Strother, secretary, H. B. Kinsley treasurer; H. P. Cobb and L. Matthews. Those passing the examinations and to whom licenses were issued were Wm. O. Fall. Miami; Geo. A. DeTar, Narcissus; H. C. Boyne, Hickory; A. L. Dameron, Warner; George A. Austin, Castle; M. L. Flinn, Muskogee, and L. A. Gresner, Oolaga! The next regular meeting of the board will be held in Muskogee on October 9th snd 10th. Phoenix 8-15, 1907. We are glad to see the name of our old friend Dr. M. L. Flinn appear in the above list. He is a competent and deserving man and one who has suffered more abuses than any other man in the Indian Territory. Dr. Flinn has the grit of a Spartan or it would have been impossible for him to have withstood the storm of oppression forced upon him during the last six years. The Dr. has the best wishes of the Cimeter for his success. Guy the bald head disciple of Blackstone forgot to vote for McRea for justice of peace just as did some of the other cusses who made records. It looks as if the action of the saloon men of Oklahoma City will force the Negroes to join the state wide prohibition outfit. Don't fail to register. ER ember the 17th. And still "The Oklahaman" and other Democratic papers have not a single kind word to say for the self constituted boss. Mr. Haskell is left to blow his own born. James Miller and Z. Culver, candidates for constables will receive the solid Republioan and will be elected. The majority in Muskogee is sufficient to land them with all ease. Register and vote for Miller and Celver andagainst the constitution. The joint debate proposition does not not seem so popular after all with the Democratic candidates. If an independent citizen wants to see how the campaign is going, visit the Democratic headxnarters and the then the Republican headquarters. In the grst he will find dissension, confusion and disgust. In the second he will find confidence, harmony and activity. The desire to hedge on the part of those who placed their bets on Haskell a month ago is really distressing. And now the "carpetbagger" boomerang is getting in its deadly work. The Democrats are on the defensive because of the incompetency of their leaders and the demagogery of their self imposed boss. Another democratic titket is still talked of but the best way to recuke the boss, is ta vote the straight Republican ticket and make the lesson an effettive one. The Democratic press bureau is certainly in an embarassing position. To flaunt the Haskell flag is like waving the red cloth before an infuriated bull. To be silent is a confession of weakness. Truly a pitiable dilema. Muskogee Cimeter. W. H. TWINE, Editor. MUSKOGEE. IND. TER. Charity in one of the few things that should never be advertised. An anti-fat manufacturer is in trouble. He tried to make light of his customers. That Huntington horse that eats wool is probably suffering from a cold stomach. Maybe Gen. Kuroki will go home and tell his countrymen that we are too agreeable people to lick. Joaquin Miller wants to go to the United States senate. On his merits as a poet? Oh, dear, no. He has money now. A Washington man who tried fasting for his health didn't live long enough to see whether it helped him or not. The sperm whale could swallow an automobile according to one scientist, but we should think it would give him indigestion. Chicago complains that women talk too much over the telephone. "Over the telephone" would seem to be a superfluous clause. The late shah of persia had a collection of stones valued at $50,000,000. But death parted him from all except one—his tombstone. A clothier's ad in the London (Ont.) Advertiser: "Our boys' knickers have double seats." Good for the kids, but hard on father's arm. Now if the weather should calm down and be decent for the summer the croakers would feel themselves discriminated against. A Detroit man has invented a nozzle which spreads water like rain, or in other words as effectively as it is distributed among the stocks. Tunis used to depend upon its wines, olives, cereals and cattle. Now there are a number of profitable mines and railways are being built to exploit them. Even if it were not dangerous to kiss the baby it would still be cruel in most cases, as the poor babies are generally too feeble to put up any kind of a defense. Dr. Wiley's condemnation of pie will have no effect. The brain food of New England has been tested beyond the power of any mere government chemist to discredit it. The American Press Humorists, as such, have undertaken to raise funds for a monument in memory of the late Bill Nye. All serious minded people can join them in this effort. Joaquin Miller has found mining more profitable than poetry, for which reason he desires to be a United States senator. This shows the demoralizing influence of wealth. The popularly accepted idea that women like to do most of the talking is successfully controverted in the petition of a St. Louis woman who asks divorce. She asserts that she "can't live with that man. Why, he's a regular sphinx." Red Cloud, the famous Sioux chief, is now very old, and, realizing that he must soon depart for the happy hunting grounds, he has issued a pathetic appeal to the white people to be good to the poor Indian. Once a fierce warrior and a foe to the whites, Red Cloud long ago became peaceable. He still retains the old style garb of his race, but he appreciates the value of civilization. IN THE NAME OF CHARITY. Jack London's Story Carries Sting of Truth and Pathos. "Jack London's famous definition of charity—'sharing a bone with a dog when you're as hungry as the dog'—recalls a story about charity," said a magazine editor, "that I heard Mr. London tell at a farewell dinner in New York before he sailed away on the Spark. "Mr. London said two old men were smoking and drinking together after dinner. "The host rang the bell and an old woman appeared. "'Confound you, stupid!" said the host. 'Didn't I tell you I wanted the Scotch? Take this back, and bring what I asked for, you old fool!' "Come, come,' said the guest, after the old woman had hurried away in a great fright. 'Come, come, my friend, don't you think you are rather too sharp with your old servant?" "Oh,' said the other, 'she's not a servant. She's only a poor relation I'm keeping out of charity.' "The guest looked relieved. "That alters the case, of course,' he said."—Washington Times. NO RELIEF FROM ECZEMA For Over Two Years—Patent Medicines, Quack Cures and Doctors Fail—Cuticura Succeeds. "I was very badly afflicted with eczema for more than two years. The parts affected were my limbs below the knees. I tried all the physicians in the town and some in the surrounding towns, and I also tried all the patent remedies that I heard of, besides all the cures advised by old women and quacks, and found no relief whatever until I commenced using the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. In the Cuticura Remedies I found immediate relief, and was soon sound and well. C. V. Beltz, Tippecanoe, Ind., Nov. 15, '05." Fell Into Bad Company. A canny Scot was brought before a London magistrate on the charge of being drunk and disorderly. "What have you to say for yourself, sir?" demanded the magistrate. "You look like a respectable man, and ought to be ashamed to stand there." "I am verra sorry, sir, but I cam' up in bad company fra Glasgow," humbly replied the prisoner. "What sort of company?" "A lot of teetotalers!" was the startling response. "Do you mean to say teetotalers are bad company?" thundered the magistrate. "I think they are the best of company for such as you." "Beggin' yer pardon, sir," answered the prisoner, "ye're wrong; for I had a bottle of whusky an' I had to drink it all myself!" Hearing of the sadden taking off the stage of life of a leading Thespian while he was playing in Chicago, a New York Rialtoan out of a job telegraphed the manager as follows: "Having heard of the sad and tragic demise of Mr. ——, I'll take his place for $150 a week." As the message was sent collect it elicited the following reply: "Thanks. I wouldn't take his place for twice that amount." COFFEE AILS Quit when you use POSTUM "THERE'S A REASON."

SKIN DISEASES HUMORS IN THE BLOOD When the blood is pure, fresh and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circulation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds; the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the face in the because they do not reach the blood. S. S.

In Extremis. The yacht was heavily becalmed. There were but ten bottles of cham- pagne in the lockers. Their last signal of distress had been sent up, without bringing any response. “Gentlemen,” exclaimed the commo- dore, in a quavering voice, “I can no longer conceal the hideous truth from you. Sobriety stares us in the face!” It was a wildly various scene which ensued.

The testimony on part of the government was, in our opinion, sufficient to hold the defendant to await the action of the grand jury. The defense, it is true, put up a very strong alibi, such as it was. Yet we cannot help contrasting what did happen to Pemberton with what would be the end of a Negro if he were pointed out by a white girl as her ravisher like Pemberton was pointed out by this poor, defenseless Colored girl. We do not wish to criticise anyone connected with the case unjustly but we are forced to remember that this is the second time that a Negro girl has been brutally assaulted and the criminal has gone unpunished. There is now a Negro in jail under sentence of death with no stronger evidence against him than that produced by the government in this case wherein Pemberton was defendant. Is the color of a criminal considered proof positive of his innocence or guilt? or have we a double standard of justice—one for the Negro and one for the white. Oh well after all it is only a helpless orphan, a Negro waif, with all the measureles hel- lessness and hoplessness that both terms imply. What kind of justice could we expect other than that which the world has always dealt out to its defence less. Democrats are making a great campaign for the con con and they have some Republican help as we must admit for there are some Republicans who are as anxious for statehood by any route as the Democrats are and as equally anxious for jim crow cars. We can and must defeat this con con even if we have to appeal to our brethren in the doubtful states to ask the President to turn it down. You must register even if you dont vote the ticket as it is necessary to register in order to vote against the infernal con con. Hundreds of our people say they will vote against the constitution and stop. Get busy Mr. Chairman of the County committee and others. It's the early bird etc. Immediately after the trial of the rape case a few days ago some ignorant Negroes began a tirade of abuse of the attorneys for the government in the cause. It is this very class of Negroes that causes trouble and when it comes they are the first to duck and scamper for tall timber. The city and county will be better off such Negroes as these seek new places of abode. One of the Democratic speakers at the rally Wednesday night said that in his county the Negroes had to hit the road in in high places. We suppose this is example of Democratic fair dealing but of course it will not make votes for the constitution. The constitution can and must be defeated. Put up as good a vote as possible against it and if then it gets a majority let us go down to the Nation's Capital and show cause why the thing should not be approved. Concerning Mr. Stillwell, the Labor News says: "Mortimer F. Stillwell of Bartlessville, Republican nominee for State Treasures, has always been on the very best of terms with organized labor; his position has Bartlesville has brought him into contact with our people and at all times he has proven himself to be an earnest advocate of our interests. In addition to this he is a thorough business man and one amply qualified to care for the finances of the proposed new state. We indorse him in preference to the democratic nominee, James Menefee, who in the past has not always followed the straight and narrow path in reference to organized labor matters. There seems to a disposition on the part of the Democrat to create race prejudice by calling every little racket an attempt of the Negro to dominate. The Republicans are in a dilemma regarding who shall be the candidate for district judge. The judicial convention promises to be a warm member and there will be many surprises in store for the natives. Reports from the various townships show that the Republicans are very much interested in township nominations. Garfield and Frantz will be in town to night and there will be some good Republican doctrine given out. Negroes who take the stand that it is too soon for a Negro to raise his head politically are not worth three woops in the reginos of Pluto. The recent trial of Pemberton was not a political issue but was a human issue. The officers of the law, the District Attorney simply did their duty. There are many people both black and white who have no sympathy for the rapist, no matter what the color of his skin chances to be. The Colored voters who have threatened to stay away from the polls must not forget that it is our duty to vote against the constitution at lesst. Let us stand up and show where we stand on the constitution proposition. Nothing is being done to create harmony in precinct 2 district 76 nor in precinct 8 and there are more than two hundred voters in these precincts that the party will lose unless something is done to clear up the outrage of the recent contest. Fred Cook the Republican candidate for sheriff is a young man and will receive the solid vote of the party. He will run ahead of the ticket as he did in the convention.

A WORTHY INSTITUTION REMARKABLE GROWTH OF AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTION AT STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA The Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical college is one of the so-called land grant colleges established for the various states by the act of congress of July 2, 1862, and subsequent acts. The provisions of those acts were assented to by the Oklahoma assembly in 890, and the college located at Stillwater. The growth of the institution has been in keeping with the rapid growth of Oklahoma. The first building of the college was erected in 1894. The institution now has ten chief buildings valued at $207,500, and appliances for instruction valued at $150,000. Including the campus and farm, the plant represents an expenditure by the territory and the national government of nearly $400,000. There are thirty-two instructors, and the enrollment last year was over nine hundred. The college offers facilities for a practical, scientific and technical education. Its graduates in scientific lines, and in mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering have had remarkable success in securing and holding positions in the government service and in industrial and manufacturing enterprises, and the demand for them far exceeds the supply. In addition to the general scientific courses, the college offers also a science and literature course designed to meet the needs of those who wish a general collegiate education, and to afford young women thorough and extensive training in domestic economy. The general courses of the institution are as follows: (a) Agriculture—one week, ten weeks, forty weeks, five years; (b) engineering—mechanical, electrical and civil; (c) applied science—chemistry, botany, zoology, etc; (d) science and literature—a well-selected general course in scientific and literary studies; (e) domestic economy—including literary and scientific studies and preparing if desired, for teaching all branches of household science; (f) business—bookkeeping, typewriting, stenography, etc. Graduates of the common schools or of the eighth grade may enter the sub-freshman class without examination; students who have completed the tenth grade of the high school may enter the freshman class and the graduates of approved high schools may enter the sophomore class. The fall term will begin September 10, 1907. Tuition is free to students from Oklahoma and Indian Territory. A catalogue giving complete information may be obtained by addressing President A. C. Scott, Stillwater, Okla. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Starched muslins, laces and prints will look nicer and iron easily if dampened with hot water instead of cold. To impart extreme stiffness to starch add to one quart of starch a teaspoon of gum arabic and the same of baking soda, dissolved in a very little water. The contents of the inner vessel of a double boiler will cook much more rapidly if the water in the outer compartment is salted in the proportion of half cup of salt to two quarts of water. The One Who Knows. Some people think that if a girl has money it doesn't make any difference whether she is pretty or not, but the homely girl who has money knows better. Somerville Journal. A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. How a Veteran Was Saved the Amputation of a Limb. B. Frank Doremus, veteran, of Roosevelt Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., says: "I had been showing symptoms of kidney trouble from the time I was mustered out of the army, but in all my life I never suffered as in 1897. Headaches, dizziness and sleeplessness, first, and then dropsy. I was weak and helpless, having BENNETT run down from 180 to 125 pounds. I was having terrible pain in the kidneys, and the secretions passed almost involuntarily. My left leg swelled until it was 34 inches around, and the doctor tapped it night and morning until I could no longer stand it, and then he advised amputation. I refused, and began using Doan's Kidney Pills. The swelling subsided gradually, the urine became natural and all my pains and aches disappeared. I have been well now for nine years since using Doan's Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Calf Like a Kangaroo.

Read the Following: Dear Sir; I have just returned from a visit to your 95,000-acre ranch, where I have been for the purpose of investigating the conditions of soil, climate, rainfall, etc., and its adaptability to general farming, truck-growing and fruits. I found conditions really better than I expected, and fully up to representations in your literature. The soil seems to be of fine quality and of such variety as to make diversified farming easy and profitable. While on the ranch I had the pleasure of visiting Hall, Frenchman, Turkey Creek, Windmill, Muley Cow and Headquarters pastures. I did not see the Votaw pastures but was assured by disinterested parties that it was even better than that which I examined, and believing this I came home perfectly satisfied that you have the best proposition, for the poor man, in Southwest Texas. On farms adjoining your ranch I saw fine crops growing without irrigation, and this I consider remarkable in view of the severe drought, which obtains at this time over the entire state. I am sure this will prove to be a fine fruit-growing section, especially for grapes, figs and berries, and that the water supply is sufficient seems certainly to be proved by the flowing artesian wells in various parts of pasture, and this also settles the truck growing proposition. You have my hearty endorsement on both your lands and plan of sale. Very truly yours, Remember—you get a truck or fruit farm of from 10 to 640 acres in the finest country in the world, and two town lots for $210. Of course you know I am doing my own work.

AS THE BOY UNDERSTOOD. Probably to His Mind Conflict of Authority Was Vital. In one of the Atlanta Sunday schools recently the lesson for the day had to do with Mammon and the corrupting influences of great riches. Toward the close of the exercises, says Harper's Magazine, the superintendent called upon the infant class to repeat the golden text, which had special reference to man's inability to serve his Creator and the money god at one and the same time. The class failed to respond as it should, when the superintendent, noticing his own young hopeful in the ranks, who had that very morning been drilled thoroughly on the text, called to him. The response was immediate, though a slight departure from the original, for in a voice that was distinctly heard in all parts of the room there came the following modification: "Ye cannot serve God and mamma!" No, Not as a Rule. George P. Angell, Boston's brilliant and powerful defender of animals from cruelty, was talking about nature faking. "My friend, Will Long is no nature faker," he said, "but I admit that many of our myriad nature writers are. These men's idea of a lie seems too closely to resemble that of a little boy I know. "The boy's teacher said from her desk one afternoon: "'I want every pupil who has never told a lie to hold up his hand." "There was a doubtful pause. Two or three hands were raised. Then my little friend piped out: "Teacher, is it a lie if nobody finds it out?" A Wife's Letter. "My darling George, I have received your nice letter, and I hope you will send me a check by return. You wouldn't believe it, dearie, but for the life of me I can't think of anything else to write about!" In Lewiston, Me., there is a young woman cobbler, and in New York state a blacksmith shop is run by three women.
