Frank Greer Would Run Negro Porters Out of Town
Speaker Admits Buying Bad Whiskey and Scores the City Administration
Vol. 2, No. 23 Are You Fo Frank Greer W Negro Port Speaker Admit Whiskey an City Admi
The city campaign is waxing warm and judging from present indications, is yet in its prime degree of enthusiasm.
Another week of this campaign and the atmosphere will be pregnant with political dementia hotter than the blue blazes of Plutio with the Republican leaders still adding fuel to the flame.
So far the Republicans and the Independents have had a monopoly on the political mass meetings, while the Democrats have seemed somewhat at ease.
Frank Greer, former pioneer of Guthrie and well-known editor, spoke to a crowd at the corner of Third and Main streets Thursday night, and took up considerable time venting his spleen on gamblers, bootleggers, rooming house proprietors and "nigger" porters. Judging from his remarks, Mr. Greer holds an unborn girevance against some booze peddler who at one time sold him some bad whiskey, which he explained he bought for medicinal purposes.
The Negro porters would all be run out of town if the wishes of Mr. Greer went into effect. No one objects to Frank Greer or anyone else cleaning out the indecent rooming houses in Tulsa, but we cannot see why or how running the Negro porters out of town would facilitate the work.
The Negro porters are employed to drum trade for the hotels and rooming houses, and if white porters were employed their functions would be the same. But judging from Mr. Greer's line of argument, the Negro porters would at least make less obnoxious the immorality going on in such places. It is too bad that this campaign between white men could not have gone on without ringing in the poor, helpless, defenseless Negro porters, all of whom are employed by white men. There's no politics in the position of hotel or rooming house porter—no question involved which should call for public discussion, since it is a well-known fact that the relation of the races, throughout America, are well defined and amply portected. The fault for conditions mentioned by Mr. Greer is not in the servant, white or black, but in the lovers who stand between the inmates of these houses and the public decency. Many of these lovers are men of standing. Go after them. The poor porter is not to blame.

Colored Independent Club Holds Rousing Meeting
Candidates Talk and Make Promises to Voters
Hod Carriers In the Game
The hod carriers and laborers of Tulsa met Wednesday evening at Cleaver's Hall on North Greenwood and combined politics with their regular business meeting. Republican candidates were out, as is usual during election times, and gave those present the usual arguments in favor of the old party, and the speeches took well with a large part of the audience, most of whom were inclined to stay with the party; yet there was a large following for the Independents and the Democrats. Seldom has there been a meeting of political significance in which opinions were so much divided. The expressions for either following were not unanimous, and able remarks, in their peculiar way, were made by many present.
One speaker stated that his purpose in politics was to stay with his friends,—those who were inclined to give him a chance in life to make bread for himself and his family—and that in casting his vote he would be guided fery much by this idea. His remarks met with hearty applause.
Another speaker said that every citizen who stood for a good citizenship in Tulsa was in favor of a pleasant relation of the races. The interest of the progressive white man was also the interest of the progressive Negro. In the matter of schools and public improvements the good people of Tulsa, who have investment here, know better than anyone else the needs of the city, and to be on good terms with them and to get a share of the labor necessary to the making of them we must be with them, all the way. It is to be hoped that our services to them and the city will be appreciated, and that whoever is elected, as individuals, will have friends among the negro people who will at least get some kind of employment to help them along.
No pledges or promises were asked of the candidates present and the meeting adjourned to meet again, as a political mass meeting, before the election, upon call of the chairman.

Rousing Meeting
alk and Make
to Voters
The Independent Republican club held a rousing meeting on the lower floor of the Cleave-Cheery hall Thursday night which was spectacular because of the heated talk of some of the speakers aside from candidates who were there. The colored people of the East end, according to J. J. Jackson, are demanding a proportionate part of the work done for the city and improvement of the streets in this part of town. He scored the Republican party for its duplicity regarding the colored people and said that he stood for clean-hearted men regardless of party affiliation.
The candidates present, all Republicans, reminded the colored citizens of promises made two years ago by the Democrats regarding the streets, which promises have not been fulfilled, and pledged themselves to give the East end everything needed.

Must Stand Trial Again
The jury in the McCoy murder case failed to agree last week and the trial will go over to the next term of court.
McCoy was charged with conspiracy in the murder of his wife, who was killed last summer at Orcutt Lake Park by Senia Johnson, who was recently tried and convicted, the jury fixing the sentence at 25 years at McAlester.
The Johnson woman testified that McCoy influenced her to kill his wife and that he induced her to go to the park with him for that purpose.

That Teaches the People How to Avoid Catching Cold.
The thirteenth edition of the "Ill of Life" is now ready for distribution. Beginning on page three of this popular work on medicine is an article stating in plain language how any one can avoid catching cold.
The article was written by a doctor. It was written by a doctor eighty four years old, who is a hale and hearty man. It is his house, founded upon fact, that he does not catch cold. He thinks he knows the reason why. He explains it in detail in this book. Every family ought to have a copy of it, been free by the Peruma Co., Columbus, Ohio.

Get it at once, as it is what you need. After you use one bottle, you will never regret your start.
I was just about past going for over two years, with the above alliments, and had it not been for Cardui, I would have been helpless, no doubt.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS
The success of the Calhoun Colored school of Alabama is due to the harmonious co-operation of four elements in the teaching force, the southern white, the northern white, the southern negro and the northern negro. These elements are the more significant in a school which has thus far been of moderate size, and which, located in white, the northern white, the southern er-central Alabama, is distant from the centers of southern education. This educational co-operation seems natural and inevitable. There is no loss in the spirit of racial integrity, but a salutary race consciousness is inspired. No danger is evident, either to cultural inheritance or to normal development. In the broad field of negro education excellent results are achieved where either white or colored educators work alone. But peculiar effectiveness, indispensable for some phases of the work, is gained where all the available forces work together.
The white leadership on this cooperation needs to be of exceptional quality. Social experience is required for relations which are not in themselves difficult, but which might become so without the social art. Necessary qualities for the white educators in this united labor are professional accomplishments, critical appreciation of those for whom they labor, patient faith in them, and a broad and deep religious life. To these qualities the colored participants in the work are responsive. The names, careers and associations of the white workers at Calhoun would surprise those who have not learned that the best service attracts the best servants without thought of reward outside the service.
The increasing co-operation of the finest southerners in the education and uplifting of the negro is one of the most significant movements in our country. But this power needs to be still more aligned with the others. The presence of a representative southern gentleman in the working force of Calhoun is one of the most noted contributions to negro education. The inevitably rapid growth of the school includes the enlargement, already planned, of this element.
Mr. E. B. Chestnutt has for his special task the oversight of the business affairs and agricultural methods of the colored owners of the thousands of acres which the school and he have given them opportunity to acquire. The intimate knowledge, tact, authority and enthusiasm of a representative of his class have been devoted to the task which has given Calboun its finest success and chief distinction. An expert agriculturist, a successful man of affairs, he is an invaluable counselor, guide and friend to these steadily ascending people. With the unfailing gentleness which comes of intimate comprehension, he knows also how to be unsparing in warning and rebuke, and, when necessary, unswervingly severe in action. He is beloved by every one he works with or works for. The characteristics of the finest type of southerner are emphasized in this service. Neither his social nor his political influence has been affected unfavorably. Exceptional qualities are, indeed, requisite for such pioneering; but more ordinary men may follow the path marked by a great soul.

The education of the negro in the essentials, the "three Rs" and the rest of a good common school course, together with his education to a trade, has shown excellent results. The negro makes a good farmer, a good artisan, a good man in most trades, after he has had proper training. Leaders of the race are proceeding upon the theory that the best way to break down the barriers of prejudice is to make the negro a self-supporting, industrious, thrifty, useful citizen. This theory appears to have vindicated itself. Tuskegee institute has probably done more to break down prejudice against the negro in the south than any other single agency.
The negro, for his own sake and happiness, should realize that the professions do not afford him the same opportunities as they offer to white men. The fact is that anything greatly different could hardly be expected. The negro has only had half a century of civilization in America, as against many ages for the white man. Under the circumstances he has done remarkably well, but he should remember that the old adage, "the more haste the less speed," holds good in race development as in most other things.
The negro cannot reach the goal of the highest civilization and the greatest mental development as a race by any short cuts. He will progress more rapidly, more solidly and more satisfactorily if he prepares himself by going through the same experiences which have been necessary to every other race.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Addresses were made by Dr. W. S. Montgomery, supervising principal of the thirteenth division of the public schools of Washington, and president of the board of directors of the Manassas Industrial school, and by James C. Chestnutt and Charles M. Thomas of the Colored Normal school, at a meeting of the Negro Farmers' Alliance of northern Virginia, held recently at the Manassas school, Washington. Prof. C. H. Yarborough, director of the school, conducted the sessions.
Reports made by the farmers showed progress in cutting expenses, in raising stock, in improving the condition of women on the farm and in lengthening the school term as well as improving the service of the teachers in the rural schools. A committee on ways and means to aid the constructive work of the school was formed by the farmers. Appeals were issued for funds to meet current expenses as well as to increase the endowment. The present enrollment of students numbers 135.
The third session of the meeting was given to entertainment by the student body under the direction of Misses Hershaw and Kennedy, teachers in the institutions and graduates of the Colored Normal school.

FELL BACK ON PLAIN ARTICLE
Bewildered Young Housekeeper Felt She Could Not Be Very Wrong in Asking for That.
Her wedded days had not yet run into months, and her ambition was to become a model housekeeper, although she was so young and so very inexperienced. Her husband had had occasion to criticize the butter sent them by their grocer; therefore, determined to remedy this fault, she started, brave and eager, to discover some of the better quality.
So, "What is the price of your butter?" she asked severely of the man whose store she had briskly entered.
"Butterline, 30 cents; dairy, 35," rat-tled off the storekeeper; "fancy, 38; creamy, 40; and table, 45—"
She gasped, gazing blankly at the row of tubs, to each of which he had pointed in turn.
"Haven't you any plain churned butter?" she inquired helplessly, "or. I might say, churnery butter," she added, her old spirit reasserting itself. —Woman's Home Companion.
On Thin Goods.
If you have trouble in making buttonholes in thin material, here is a way of overcoming the difficulty: Hold a piece of the material on the under side and cut the hole through this as though it were part of the waist. When the buttonhole is finished, cut away the under cloth very carefully so that it will not show. There will be no difficulty, even with chiffon, if the cloth is folded two or three times.

"My breakfast usually consisted of oatmeal, steak or chops, bread, coffee and some fruit.
"Hearing so much about Grape-Nuts, I concluded to give it a trial and find out if all I had heard of it was true.
"So I began with Grape-Nuts and cream, soft boiled eggs, toast, a cup of Postum and some fruit. Before the end of the first week I was rid of the acidity of the stomach and felt much relieved.
"By the end of the second week all traces of indigestion had disappeared and I was in first rate health once more. Before beginning this course of diet, I never had any appetite for lunch, but now I can enjoy the meal at noon time."

Mesothorium differs from radium only in price and in a more rapid loss of power. Whereas it has been calculated that it would need 1,800 years before the energy of a gramme of radium is reduced by one-half, mesothorium retains its full energy only for the first few years. After this the force is gradually dissipated, until after 20 years only about one-half of its original energy remains. Its great advantage over radium is its comparative cheapness, although even for mesothorium the enormous sum of $50,000 per gramme is being asked.

GIRLS! GIRLS! TRY IT, BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR
Make It Thick, Glossy, Wavy, Luxurient and Remove Dandruff—Real Surprise for You.
Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as soft, lustrous and beautiful as a young girl's after a "Danderine hair cleanse." Just try this—moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil and in just a few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair.
Besides beautifying the hair at once, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invigorates the scalp, forever stopping itching and falling hair.
But what will please you most will be after a few weeks' use when you will actually see new hair—fine and downy at first—yes—but really new hair—growing all over the scalp. If you care for pretty, soft hair and lots of it, surely get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderline from any store and just try it. Adv.

Death Lurks ln A Weak Heart
FOR PERFECT OMELET
DISH equines: avon CARE IN
Proper Amount of Yolks and Whites
Is Important, and Knife Should
Never Be Used in Serving—
Must Be Eaten at Once.
The art of making an omelet Is an
exact and delicate one, requiring
Judgment and regard to several “prin-
ciples” of egg cooking.
The pan should be thin, as quick
cooking is of prime importance.
To make a tender omelet, the num-
ber of yolks should exceed the num-
ber of whites.
Up to 1840 the number of yolks was
twice that of the whites, but more
whites now enter into French recipes.
But if there is too much white left,
no art can prevent an omelet from
being too hard.
The egg omelet must not be liquid
at all, but barely set.
In serving, a spoon or fork must be
used. A knife ruins its texture.
For a French omelet break the eggs
into a bowl, add as many teaspoon:
fuls of water as there are eggs, count-
ing two yolks as one egg. For each
three eggs add one-quarter of a tea-
spoonful of salt and a dash of pepper.
If six eggs are used, three whites are
better than four where quality, not
quantity, is preferred. Beat them
with a fork until a spoonful can be
lifted as if it were liquid without
clinging to the rest.
Put In a tablespoonful of butter and
felt in a thin pan, strain the egg into
{t, set on a hot part of the range and
as soon as the edges begin to cook
separate them from the edge of the
pan with a thin knife or spatula;
slowly, and gently, rock the pan back
and forth so that the uncooked por-
tion runs down next the pan, until the
whole is creamy. Now commence the
art of rolling. On the side next the
handle start the roll, curling it over
gently and letting the pan rest a
moment on each curve long enough
to brown it lightly, and turn on a hot
platter to bo eaten without standing
and losing a degree of heat. Cool
omelet {s ruined omelet.
For a three-egg omelet the formula
1s two whole eggs, two yolks of eggs,
three tablespoonfuls of milk or one
tablespoonful of water, pepper and
salt.
In poaching eggs the bottom of the
skillet should be brushed with oll,
then partly fill with boiling water
that is not allowed to boil or simmer
after slipping the egg in from the cur
into which it has been first broken,
If the water is slightly salted and a
teaspoonful of vinegar added, ft is an
improvement. The eggs must not be
old or the white will dissolve. Forty:
eight hours after laying gives the best
results in poaching. Let the yolk be
nearly covered and do not disturb un
til the albumen has set. Remove with
a skimmer.
Fish Rissoles.
To a plate of cold fish add one-third
as much bread crums, one finely
minced boiled onion, the yolks of two
eggs and one tablespoonful of butter.
Season to taste.
Make a rich paste and cut it Into

KIDNEYS WITH SALTS
Drink Lots of Waier and Stop Eating
Meat for a While If the Bladder
Bothers You.
Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter {t from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your bow-
els; removing all the acids, waste and
poison, else you feel a dull misery in
the kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine 1s
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table:
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear, This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts ts

‘ECZEMA ITCHED AND BURNED
Falmouth, Ky.—"Two years ago I
was troubled with skin and scalp
troubles. I would have pimples that
would break out and form sores on
my face and head, with terrible itch-

head itched and burned and when I
scratched it, it made sores and I
was very disfigured for the time be-
ing. My head became so sore Icould
not touch it with a comb; it became
® mass of sores. My hair fell out
gradually,

I used sCuticura Soap and Ointment

was getting better and in less than

,|“BOUND FOR !
| WESTERN CANADA” é
ne —— |
| “PTHAT STARTED FROM
Four horses abreast attached to a
red painted prairie schooner, wit’
windows and a protruding stovepipe,
with the words, “Bound for Canada,”
on the schooner’s side, was the object
of considerable interest as it passed
on the way northward from Nebraska
‘a short time ago through the towns
in Nebraska, South and North Dakota.
After some weeks of strenuous travel-
ing in this way, Mr. J. F. Jensen made
the overland trip from Jameson, Ne-
braska, and with his little family mado
the regular customs entry at North
Portal, in the province of Saskatche-
‘wan. Their destination was Willow
‘Bunch, a district that Mr. Jensen
had selected as one in which {t was
possible for him to work out his for-
‘tune, He located on a good half sec-
aoe of land, and intended putting on
{t some cattle that would fatten on
the wild prairle grass that grows 80
luxuriously {n that district. In addl-
tion to this his purpose was to cultl-
vate a portion of it and raise wheat,
oats, barley or flax. In short, a life
devoted to mixed farming was what
he had in view and {t is easy to un-
derstand that he will make a success
of it, and in a year or go will attach
some more land holdings.
Although his beginning may be
small, it may safely be said that Mr.
Jensen, like thousands of others who
have begun life in western Canada on
no more and with probably much dess,
will prosper, He will not be far from a
line of railway. Schools will be close
at hand and other soctal conditions #0
necessary in a new country are avall
able.—Advertisement.

SAGE TEA DARKENS GRAY
HAIR TO ANY SHADE. TRY IT!
Keep Your Locks Youthful, Dark,
Glossy and Thick With Common
Garden Sage and Sulphur.
When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it’s done so naturally, 80
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble-
some. For 60 cents you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use tonic
called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy.” You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. By morn-
ing all gray hair disappears, and, after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant. You will also dis-
cover dandruff is gone and hair has
stopped falling.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a eign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive ap-
pearance, get busy at once with Wy;
eth’s Sage and Sulphur and look years
younger.—Adv.

Isthmus of Panama has fired the imag:
tnation of the world, Frank Parker
Stockridge writes in Popular Mechan-
ics, The vision became a reality on
October 10, 191%, when President
Woodrow Wilson in the White House
at Washington pressed a button which
sent the electric current 2,000 miles to
explode 40 tons of dynamite whieh
blew up the last barrier to a free wa-
terway across the isthmus,
“Gamboa's busted!" exclaimed the
president as he pressed the telegraph
key, ‘The casualness of his remark
was a tribute to the engineers of the
United States army, to whom the dig-
ging of the canal has been simply “an-
other Job” in the routine of their reg-
ular work and one that called for no
brass bands or spectal ceremonies to
glorify it. With the same simplicity
the first vessel to pass through the
famous Culebra cut, after the break-
ing of the Gamboa dike had let tn the
water, Was an ordinary rowboat, while
a humble but useful tugboat was the
first craft of any kind to make the
passage through the great Gatun
locks,
While the work at Panama {s still
far from completed, yet the canal
which the first Spanish explorers vis-
walized 1s today an necomplished fact.
On September 26, 1543, Vasco Nunez
de Balboa climbed the peaks of the
continental divide and discovered the
Pacific ocean, which he named “the
South sea.” From where Balboa stood

SLAYER HID IN BIG PRISON
Man Wanted for Murder Allowed
Himself to Be Caught in Burglary
to Escape Search.
Sacramento.—A country-wide search,
covering almost three years, for Otto
Shaumberg, the notorious — “key
burglar” of St. Louis and alleged mur-
derer of Detective James Arnold of
Hast St, Louis, has ended in a cell at
San Quentin prison. Shaumberg was
identifted by William J, Mulconnery,
eherif of Le Claire county, Mlinols.
‘The police of every city in the United
States have been on the watch for
Shaumberg and $500 reward for his
capture 1s authorized by Le Clatre

Shaumberg was betrayed by his
cellmate at San Quentin, to whom he

When Balboa's report of his discovery
reached Spain, it was accompanied
by the recommendation that a canal
be immediately dug across the tsth-
mus, What the explorer had In mind
was a sea-level canal, for, although
Leonardo da Vincl, the great Italian
painter-engineer, had recently invent
ed the hydraulle lock, now generally
used for lifting vessels over eleva-
tions, it had not become widely known.
The discovery of gold in California
in 1848 was followed by a tremendous
volume of traffle between the Atlantle
and Pacifle coasts, and for fifteen
years practically all of this traMe was

sald to have cost the life of a man
for every tle, led to a much more
accurate knowledge of the topography
and geology of the isthmus than had
previously been available. President
Grant in 1869 asked congress to take
up the matter of a canal, The only
action was a resolution providing for
an exploration by officers of the navy
and the creation of a commission in
1872 to consider their reports, Then
in May, 1876, the republic of Colom-
bla granted a concession for the con-
struction of a canal from Colon to
Panama, the terminals of-the Panama
railroad,
In 1894 a new French company was
organized and wort. was resumed, In
1899 the United States congress cre-
ated the Isthmian canal commission
to examine all practicable routes and
to report which was the most prac-
tleable and feasible for a canal “under
tho control, management and owner-
ship of the United States." ‘The com-
mission reported two alternative plans,
one for a canal at Panama ...4 the
other across Nicaragua. It estimated
the cost of a Panama canal at $156,-
878,258 and of the Nicaragua canal at
$20,540,000, But because the route
from New York to San Francisco
would be several hundred miles short-
Sheriff Mulconnery recently came
to the Pacifle coast to get a prisoner
at MeNeil's Island penitentiary and
stopped over nt San Quentin to iden-
tify Shaumberg, whom he had sgen
about East St. Louls,
“Hello, Otto," Muiconnery sald,
and offered his hand to the convict.
“My name's not Otto,” Shaumberg
replied, and he prlied back his hand
“L never was back there, and I don't
know you,” he added.
“Rack where?” queried Mulconnery,
“Back where you come from,”
Shaumberg replied, and then wilted
down when Mulconnery accused him
of the murder.
Shaumberg told hts cellmate that
after he had murdered Detective
Arnold he hurried to the Pacific coast
and permitted himself to be captured
in the act of committing a burglary
at Santa Cruz, Cal. He pleaded guilty
under the name of Ray C. Jones and
was sentenced to serve two years in
prison, Shaumberg told his fellow
convict he thought he would be safer
in prison while a search for him was
on than roaming around tbe country.

months later, the state of Panama de-
clared itself independent. Within a
month a treaty had been negotiated
with the new republic by which the

purpose of a canal. The French com-
Pany’s property was bought and in
February, 1904, & commission for the

eral direction from the Atlantic en-

miles of the canal beginning at the At-
lantic end are at sea level. Five miles
of channel, 600 feet wide, have been
dredged to a depth of 41 feet directly
south through Limon bay, and two
miles of this sea-level section has
been cut through low-lying land to the
entrance to the Gatun locks, where
the ships are raised, in three steps, to
@ height of 85 feet above sea level,

called Gatun lake.

Overfeeding, Overorewding and Lack
of Fresh Ale Cause Much Loss
—Sell Surplus Stock.
(By PROF. A. 8. ALEXANDER.)
Be careful in handling fowls, par-
Ucularly ducks and geese. Ducks have
very weak joints and it always {n-
jures them more or less to catch them
by the legs.
Overfeeding, overcrowding and lack
of ventilation cause much loss among
amateur poultry keepers. A large per
cent. of the chicks die and those that
survive are runty and undersized.
Forgetting to provide grit causes in-
digestion and after a while it turns
to cholera.
Fall is the best time of year to pur
chase geese for next year's breeding.
Geese do not mate as readily as
other fowls and it ts therefore advis-
able to procure them several months
before the laying season arrives. If
possible, buy stock that is at least
one year old and mated.
As a rule one should engage the
stock sometime in the summer. Have
the birds shipped after the weather
gets cold. This gives the birds time
to get accustomed to thelr surround:
ings.
Send all surplus poultry to market
as soon as the fowls are in proper
condition.
Unless one understands the process
of forcing, it is seldom wise to wait
for prices to go up.
Cull out the backward looking pul-
lets, keeping only the best and most
prominent for egg production.
Even in cold weather be vigilant and
use the whitewash pail and brush at
least once a week. The mites are busy

When the snow comes there should

Potato and turnip peelings boiled

excellent for laying hens.
Sweep up the hayseed and spread
on the floor where the hens take their

FRUIT LAKATIVE
FOR SIK CHILD
Every mother realize, after giving
her children “California Syrup of
Figs” that this 1s their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and {t thoroughly cleanses the tender
Uttle stomach, liver and bowels with-
out griping.
When cross, irritable, feverish or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give @
teaspoonful of this harmless “fruit
laxative,” and in a few hours all the
fopl, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow-
els, and you have a well, playful child
again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remem-
ber, a good “inside cleaning” should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep “California
Syrup of Figs” handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50
cent bottle of “California Syrup of
Figs,” which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Adv.

IKE'S SALTED MINE
By FRANK FILSON.
"When Dicky Mears was sent west by his loving and long-suffering parent, with his ticket in one pocket and five thousand dollars in the other, and orders not to come home till he had made his fortune and a man of himself at the same time, Setango Gulch spotted a good thing. There sat Dicky in the White Horse hotel, owned by Ike Brown, sipping his lemonade and talking of his expectations.
"You see, boys, I've been kind of wild,' he says. 'But I've cut out the drink for good and—well, it's this way.' And he showed us the picture of a girl with innocent gray eyes and light, fluffy hair and—well, you know the kind. 'She'll wait a lifetime for me,' says Dicky. And I allowed she would
"He was a good thing, and even five thousand dollars is worth picking up, if it can be done easy. Now Ike Brown had about half a dozen worked out placer mines. They were pocket mines, meaning to say there wasn't any gold in them except a few pockets of the metal that had washed down from the mother lode about the time of the deluge, when the thin trickle of water that now ran there had been a roaring stream, and when they was emptied the gold was gone. Ike had picked the pockets dry and then salted them with gold dust fired from a shotgun for suckers like Dicky Mears. They were scattered here and there along the bed. Nobody was mean enough to warn Dicky, and as Ike had got him first it wouldn't have been gentlemanly to try to get him away till he was dry.
"Though,' says I to myself, 'if it was me, I'd let him off for three thousand, may be, on the price of the Green Star, for the sake of the girl.' "Ike only let Dick stay three days in Setango Gulch, and what he didn't see in that time was a wonder. For instance, when the water carts come in from Montserrat, fifty miles away, which was the only way we had to get the stuff, he thought they carried kerosene, and his morning bath, which was worth twenty-five dollars a time, made like grit his teeth. So as soon as he could he got him out to the Green Star, where he left him with three months' grub and a heap of dynamite cartridges. 'Stand back after you've lit the fuse until you hear the explosion, Dicky,' says Ike. 'You'll find

enough water to dip up in your tin basin if you make a hole about the middle of the bed. Good-by.
"Good-by," says Dicky, in a dream, and Ike rides home with Dicky's five thousand dollars in his pocket.
"Just about three months later, when we'd forgotten Dicky, he comes into Setango, having walked all the way. He hadn't seen the color of gold.
"That's too bad, Dicky," says Ike. 'Of course, it may be you didn't strike the vein. Why don't you write home for another five thousand, and I'll stake you to your board on the chance of your making the old man fall for it.'
"A couple of weeks later two thousand comes, and the old man adds that his sentiments is about the same, only a little less cordial, and, anyway, that is to be the last. By the same post as he'd written to his father by, Dicky sends a letter to the girl. He said he'd had bad luck, and he thought it was his duty to let her go, but if ever he made his pile and she wasn't married he'd come back to claim her.
"Ike was sort of glad that Dicky got his money, being a good-hearted sort of a fellow, and he agreed to sell Dicky the Blue Shank for his two thousand, and to throw in six months' outfit of flour and bacon into the bargain. So Dicky starts out again, and Ike smiles pleasantly and allows that he'll run down south for the winter, setting out just about the time that Dicky's due to return.
"After three months had gone by I began to feel uneasy, somehow. You
see I'd sort of taken a liking to Dicky, and it seemed to me that it was all right to sell him the Green Star, seeing it was experience he was getting, but that Blue Shank business sort of unsettled me. I hoped he'd hit upon a pocket somewhere on the Blue Shank property, though Ike had gone over it with a fine comb. And just as my hopes was beginning to sour me against Ike who should come on the scene but the girl.
"She come in on the afternoon coach and puts up at Ike's hotel, and the first thing she does is, naturally, to ask for Dicky.
"Dicky? asks Ike. 'Dicky Mears? Why, yes. He started out to work a property he bought some little time ago, about sixty miles from here. I'm sorry I can't take you there, miss, seeing as how I've got business over in Leeson's tomorrow, but I reckon Hi Frank would let you have a buckboard—"
"That was as far as he got. I had drawn up close by to hear what Ike had to say, and I wasn't going to stand for no more gold mine sales. But like stopped short there, for in the doorway stood—Dicky!
"He was scratched from head to foot and covered with blue mud, but the girl ran to him just as he was and he took her into his arms and she put her head down and just cried for joy. Even like looked a little foolish at that."
"When she had done crying Dicky put his arm round her waist and turned to Ike.
"What are you going to do about it?" he asks.
"About what?" asks Ike.
"About that seven thousand, you confounded swindler," roars Dicky. 'There wasn't an ounce of gold in either of those two mines, and I have information that you salted them after working them out.'
'Oh, pshaw!' says Ike. 'Them's good properties, Mr. Mears. I'd take them off your hands if I had the money, only I'm down to my last hundred just now. Maybe next summer I will—'
"Oh, you will, will you?" sneers Dicky. 'I guess what you'll take back is a million gallons of water, and unless you take it I'll cram it down your swindling throat.'
"What's that?' yells Ike. 'Water, did you say?"
"I said water and I meant water,' yelled Dicky. 'You infernal scoundrel, you damned it back and sold me a river, and the first blast I made in the hard rock dislodged it. The whole bed's a roaring torrent.'
"Ike waved him back. 'Dicky,' he yelled, 'I give in. I apologize. I'm anything you like to call me, but I'll give you your seven thousand this instant for the rights.' And he reached for his bank book.
"Hold on,' says I. 'This is where I come in. I'll give you twenty thousand, Dicky.'
" 'Thirty,' yells like.
" 'Forty,' says I.
" 'Have you all gone crazy?' inquires Dicky.
" 'No,' I tells him, 'but if you've turned that antediluvian river back into its bed it means a fortune for Setango and an irrigation plant that'll reclaim about fifty million acres, not to mention free baths for everybody."
" 'I'm sorry,' says Dick, real humble, 'but I nodded when Mr. Ike Brown said thirty, and I guess I'll have to let him take it."
"Ike writes him out a check and I go sadly homeward. And that night Dicky is married and he and his bride lights out for the coast, carrying a suit case stuffed with bullion.
"No, sir, there wasn't any water on the Blue Shank property."

Rapid Fall of Petroleum Level
A recent article in Engineering is of somewhat panicky tone over the rapid waning of the world's supply of petroleum. The enormous increase in the consumption of petroleum products is shown by the fact that while at the beginning of the century the oil wells touched 1,100 feet in depth, now the average level of the oil has fallen to 2,000 feet. "America, by reckless expenditure of her resources, has increased her annual output to 200,000,000 barrels, yet the demand for oil for special purposes has become so great that the rise in price is considerable—so great, indeed, that competition with coal for ordinary purposes has become impossible." The United States bureau of mines has already issued a warning and urged improved methods.
Too Good for the Poor.
It was well known in Staggerly high society that the beautiful Lady Marion had never been kissed before. After a long, lingering embrace, the handsome young earl reluctantly released his hold, as she gazed up with unveiled admiration and rapturous joy, into his love-lorn eyes and asked: "And do the poor indulge in this way, dear?" "Oh, yes, quite frequently, little one," the young nobleman replied. "Really! Do they? And do they experience the same sensations as we do, darling?" "Absolutely." "Dear, dear, dear! Why, it's much too good for the working classes!"—illustrated Sunday Magazine.

LESSON
(By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.)
JESUS THE GREAT TEACHER.
READING LESSON-Matt, 7:21-29.
GOLDEN TEXT-"He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God."-Micah 6:8.
There is no chronological order to the lessons for the past quarter, though they have all been selected from the period of the Perean ministry of our Lord. The thought of the Golden Text, rather than the reading lesson, will serve to give us a connected review.
The lessons have chiefly concerned Jesus as the great Teacher, thus we notice the inclusive note of the first clause of the Golden Text, "He hath showed thee, O man, what is good." As an exposition of that note we have presented God's plan of action, outward, "to do justly, aid to love mercy," and inwardly "to walk humbly with thy God." With this thought in mind let us divide lessons of the quarters into two sections: (1) The first seven lessons which have to do with man's relation to the kingdom in its outward manifestation, and (2) the remaining five that have to do with "walking humbly with thy God."
As Children.
I. The first section. In order to keep this two-fold thought before us, we must observe carefully the several golden texts. In the first lesson we have set before us the manner whereby we are to enter into this new kingdom. We must enter as children and the Golden Text, "Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder . . . for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humple," illustrates the humility of children and the necessity of our right relationship to them. The second lesson deals with the possibility of cooperation with him in service, as when the 70 went before his face. Great privileges, however, when abused, bring condemnation and degradation. "It is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you." The third lesson—"The Good Samaritan"—is another expression of the outward walk of life, that of loving mercy. True love never asks who it may, but rather who it can, serve. It always manifests itself in sacrifice and in service—"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." The story of service actually rendered to our Lord in the days of his flesh is the subject of the fourth lesson. All other interests and ties must be secondary to our allegiance and obedience to him—"Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these, my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me." The fifth lesson concerns prayer. The parable of the unfriendly neighbor and the effect of prayer to bring about just relations is revealed in the Golden Text which is the heart of that lesson. "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." The sixth lesson still continues to treat this outward aspect and reveals to us the fact that great as Satan is, our Lord Jesus has far greater power.
Must Walk Humbly.
II. The second section. We now come to a group of lessons that seem to emphasize the second part of God's requirements, as expressed in the Golden Text for today, viz., "and to walk humbly with thy God." This is the inward, personal, relation with God, as against our outward, righteous relations with men. These remaining lessons deal with the abiding principles of discipleship which Jesus gave to his followers. The eighth lesson reveals the principle of a true confession of Christ to be that of the faith which makes fear impossible. We are to fear God alone. In the ninth lesson we see that the true fulfillment of life is that of having the heart set upon the true treasure, which is spiritual, rather than upon the false treasure which is material, for, "Where your treasure is, there will be your heart also." In lesson ten we have set before us the principle of faithful service which is that of watchfulness for the returning King, and which expresses itself in perpetual service in his interest and on behalf of his household. "Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall find watching." The principle of the religion of Christ is that of compassion (lesson 11), and the true sanction of the Sabbath is fulfilled in such service as makes the Sabbath possible to those who are in need. It is, therefore, lawful to do good on the Sabbath.

It would keep a steed of the Nancy Hanks type and swiftness
to keep up with the political meetings in Tulsa nowadays,
The quiet, peaceful citizens are longing for the finale in the city
campaign, But cheer up, good folks, This is campaign year.

Every politician has his own peculiar side of the question and
naturally enough expects everybody to view it from his standpoint.

From whence came the father of the “Black Socks” movement ?|
And to what extent are they connected wtih the Negro democratic

of rot, Mr. “Leader.” Better look for more congenial quarters, ‘The
respectable Negroes of this city will not tolerate your breed,
pee eae recs
When a man, an American man, becomes a candidate for office,
he is really an amusin’ cuss. Watching the different phases of the
present campaign, one notices many types of man, Watching for
the “clean campaign,” to which every candidate is pledged, we find
that issues count for little. Candidates must talk. They must talk
about one another, and if what is said is to be taken as the truth,
coming from each individual, the government will be in bad hands,
whoever gets elected.
Some people are of the opinion that the officials of a municipal
government are wholly responsible for the moral standing of the
people of the city. This is true with a great many-citizens of Tulsa.
The officials labor under a big handicap when owners of buildings
permit their property to be used for immoral purposes, while they
in their pious, sanctimonious garb of religious sentiment wink at the
crime and abuse the city officials for permitting it. If such citizens
would do their full duty the officers of the city could better do theirs
