New State And Other Not New State on Negro ALAHOMA CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. the Constitutional convention of Okawa is in session in Guthrie to see the constitution for the new law.

In the Creek nation where the Negroes are given equality in voting and holding office, we find the worst class of Negroes." The convention then appointed the following committee of seven to decide upon what permanent committees should be established: R. L. Williams, W. C. Hughes, Flowers Nelson, Peter Hanraty, D. S. Rose, Clint Graham and E. R. Williams. In a cabled dispatch, President Roosevelt refuses to rescind or modify his order of dishonorable dismissal of troops of the Twenty-fifth United States infantry, unless it be shown that the information on which he based the order was false. The widespread protests against the injustice of such a sweeping dismissal apparently have made no impression upon the president. These protests were not merely irresponsible clamor. They came from a majority of the best newspapers in the United States. Secretary Taft would not have been influenced to such important action as holding up the president's order were it otherwise. The fact that it is Negro troops who are involved in the affair makes no difference. It would have been just as bad, and no worse, had these unfortunate soldiers been white. It is an evasion of the main issue to inject the color question into the matter. These men were soldiers of the United States, and, black or white, they had a right to a fair hearing before being dismissed in disgrace. The federal government is beginning to recognize that a point of law is involved also. It is said that Secretary Taft is not sure but that Justice Denied. WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, NOV. 24, 1906. the order is illegal. That is not the main consideration. The order is unjust and an ungrateful return of the government for the services of men who have served it long and faithfully. The wholesale dismissal of these tropos was ordered because a few of the number knew something about a riot in which one life was lost. Now, there is no proof except the assertion of a secret agent, who appears to have been incompetent, that the rest of the members of the companies knew anything about the tragedy or its perpetrators. But even if a whole regiment of soldiers were familiar with the details of a riot, it is all the more reason why a secret agent should be able to find out the general stock of information. But when this agent failed he became exasperated and decided that the only way to "preserve discipline" was to dismiss hundreds of innocent men. This meant that osidiers grown gray in the service, whose lives have been spent in honorable discharge of their duties and who have looked forward to retirement at half pay in their advancing years must now go out into the world to begin all over again under the stigma of a dishonorable discharge from the army. And what is their crime? Simply belonging to a company or regiment that numbers one or two criminals whom the government secret agents cannot locate.—Kansas City Journal. Striking Rebuke for Jury Who Acquit Dothan, Ala., in a dramatic manner the murder trial of William Crockett, a white man, charged with the murder of Lum Henderson, a Negro, came to an end about 6 o'clock this morning, when Judge Henry Pearce dismissed the jury with a stinging rebuke declaring that the jury had acquitted Crockett because he was a white man and had killed a Negro. In concluding Judge Pearce said: "If the dead man had been a white citizen it would not have taken you two hours to have returned a verdict of guilty, and I don't see haw any member of the jury can go from this courthouse and face his fellow citizens in the street. NO RE-SUBMISSION NOW Governor Hoch Does Not Believe Move "What is theer to the talk of resubmitting the prohibitory law in Kansas?" was asked of Governor E. W. Hoch, of Kansas, yesterday. "I haven't heard much of it." he replied. "Do you t hink it may be done," was questioned. "Oh, I think not," he said. (Copyright, 1948, by the author, W. S. Lison) Scripture Authority: Numbers 27: 12:23; Deut. 31:7, 8. SERMONETTE. God calls prepared men into his service. Joshua had long been serving an apprenticeship under the great leader, Moses, and it may be assumed that he had been studious and faithful. A new epoch in a man's career is but the unfolding and developing of the years which have preceded. The living of the present determines the character of the future. As one follows the fragmentary history of Joshua up to the time he was chosen and anointed as the successor of Moses, his loyalty to God and faithfulness to present duty are strikingly apparent, in fact the first implies, or rather, involves, the second. One cannot be loyal to God and live carelessly and negligently. "A man in whom the Spirit" was the testimony of God as to the character of Joshua, and in those few words is crowded a whole biography. More Spirit-filled men are needed in the world to-day to lead God's people through the pilgrimage of life. To be Spirit-filled does not mean fanaticism, but means the wisdom and power, and love of God flowing through a human channel. Joshua could fight like a general, could rule like a statesman and could live like a true son of God. The solemn service which marked the setting apart of Joshua to the high office to which God had called him is suggestive of the modern ordination of our ministers to the Gospel ministry. But note that the man was first chosen of God. 'All the ordinations in the world cannot create a leader for God's people if the Lord has not first called him to that service. We do not find any false modesty keeping Joshua from accepting the high office, as is so often the case with those called into active service in the church. So many workers needed, and yet how often we find the one called holds back and pleads all manner of excuses. If it is God's call, and it generally is, the soul dare not refuse. "And thou shalt put some of thine honor upon him," was the charge of God to Moses, as he instructed him concerning the ordination of Joshua. What a privilege was this of Moses, to impart to his successor something of the dignity, something of the power and authority, which had been his. Here is a beautiful thought. The perpetuation of one's self in someone else. A beautiful thought, if it is the best self which is impressed upon the other life. A solemn and awful thought if the impress of our life upon someone else's life is for evil. Seek day by day to "put some of thine honor" upon some one else. THE STORY. In some way the rumor had gone abroad through the camp of Israel that Moses was to leave them. Whether it was his manner, for the SYMPATHY THAT DOES HARM. Frequently Cause of Unhappiness to Young Married Women. Now, many a girl is taught dissatisfaction from the moment she marries—not an ennobling spirit, but the contrary. She starts life from a false point of view. Marriage and the "happy ever after" give way to prospective pity, says Mary Stewart Cutting in Harper's Bazar. She is pitied for everything; pitied because "a woman has so much to go through." people knew that the Lord had spoken some new and startling message to him, or his letting slip some word about the future leadership of the people, certain it is that the report that God had called Moses and that a new leader was to be named to lead them into the Promised Land spread like wildfire among the people, and sadly yet wonderingly they watched the aged leader leave the borders of the camp and go solitary and alone up Mount Abarim. And when he had disappeared from view the silence which had brooded over the people was broken, and they fell to discussing this new matter. Prospective change always brings ambition, worthy or otherwise, to the hearts of some that they may occupy the place left vacant, and such was the case in Israel at this time when the report that Moses was to leave them and a new leader was to take his place at the head of the people. Instinctively the people felt that it could be none other than Joshua, who had so faithfully served at the side of Moses for many years, but among the princes who ruled over the tribes there were several who secretly coveted the high place. Of these was Gaddiel, of the tribe of Zebulun, who was son of that Gaddiel who was among the spies who perished before the Lord when they had brought up an evil report of the land. "Why should the prince over a tribe of only 32,500 be chosen to lead Israel?" he demanded, angrily, of some of his intimate friends who had gathered around him and were discussing the new developments. "But he has been through the Promised Land and knows the way," one of the number ventured to suggest. "Yes," but Caleb has, too, been through the land, and he is at the head of the largest tribe in Israel, for according to Moses' reckoning when he took the recent poll of the people there were 76,500 persons in the tribe of Judah. Why should not Caleb be chosen? Later in the day found Gaddiel in the tent of Caleb, talking earnestly with that individual, but it could be seen from the frown upon his face as he left that he had not gained his point. "Well, if you will not, I will. Surely the honor should come to the strongest tribe, and Zebulun numbers 65,000, which is second only to the tribe of Judah." Gaddiel knew that his purpose and ambition would be useless unless he could secure the ear of Moses and win his favor, and that afternoon he started off up the mountain to find him. But Caleb was not idle. The interview with Gaddiel had stirred him to action. This schemer should not prevail upon Moses to appoint him in place of Joshua. He would find Joshua and warn him of the dangers and troubles which threatened him. Better that he should hasten at once to Moses' side and there receive the commission which he felt rightfully belonged to his friend. When he had finished telling Joshua his story, he waited for the latter to speak, expecting that he would excitedly declare that Gaddiel would have a hard fight upon his hands, for Joshua was a man of intense spirit and deep pride, and his leadership over the forces of Israel on several occasions had proved him to be a brave and able captain. But instead of resentment and anger that one of the princes of Israel should seek to set him aside, he bowed his head humbly and said: "Who am I, that I should seek so high a place? Is the leadership of God's people a thing to be contended for as one would strive for a prize in a race? Have not I served Israel with an eye single to God's glory, and should I add this sin to my life that I should aspire to so high an office? Nay, I am unworthy this great trust. Rather is my heart filled with crushing sorrow at the thought that we shall lose our leader. Moses. It cannot be, it cannot be!" he exclaimed, as the full force of what it would very nature is fleeting and changeable—as if each cause for pity had not its root in some joy or some gain or some privilege. Sympathy helps, but the thing that makes this mistaken pity blight instead of restore is the fact that it accentuates unduly where it cannot alleviate. In spite of the pity of her world, the married girl has to keep up with the work and responsibility and the pains and aches just the same; they are hers, no one can take them from her. mean to Israel swept over him. "Surely God cannot have so purposed." And overcome by his emotions Joshua arose and swiftly passed out of the tent and disappeared. Meanwhile Moses on the mountain had heard God speak his solemn message, saying: "Lift up thine eyes and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel. And when thou hast seen it thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron, thy brother, was gathered. For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah, in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin." And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying: "Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation, which may go out before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the Lord be not as sheep which have no sheeped." While Moses was speaking Gaddiel, who had come up to Moses' retreat, had drawn nearer, so that now only a clump of bushes separated the two men. As he listened and heard Moses beseech the Lord that he would set a man over Israel, his vawlorous ambition overcame all sense of reverence and modesty, and he started impulsively forward. At that instant the voice of the Lord was heard, saying: "Take thee Joshua." The words which were bursting upon the lips of Gaddiel died away, and his face became ashen. It was God speaking. He dare not interrupt. With feverish eagerness he listened while the voice went on to say: "Take thee Joshua, the son of Num, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay thine hand upon him; and set him before Eleazar, the priest, and before all the congregation: and give him a charge in their sight. And thou shalt put some of thine honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient." Moses did not know of that trembling, disappointed figure crouching behind the bushes. And if he had, he would not have tarried, for he had an important commission to perform, and the aged leader and prophet hastened down the mountain side. The priest and people have assembled according to the word of Moses, but still no Joshua has come. Moses passes into the Tabernacle court on his way to the holy place, for he would inquire of the Lord concerning the matter. As he turns by the great brazen bowl and passes the altar, an object lying prostrate upon the ground draws his attention, and stepping thither, he finds Joshua, who in the burden of his heart had come and thrown himself before the Lord's altar. And together they two walked out before that great assembly and took their place before Eleazar, the priest. A great shout went up, that was quickly silenced as the priest raised his arm and began to speak. And when he had blessed Joshua and laid his hands upon him, he turned to the people and shouted: "Behold, here is the leader whom God hath chosen to go before you into the Promised Land. Obey him." Then Moses stepped forward, and placing his hand upon the head of Joshua, he said: "Be strong and of a good courage; for thou must go with this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them, to inherit it. And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fall thee, neither forsake thee; fear not, neither be dismayed." As the great assembly broke up and departed to their tents, Gaddiel was seen coming down the mountain side, and in response to the questionings of the people, he replied: "Yea, Joshua is our leader. We will follow him." What Is Lost by Strong Drink. Are you good at arithmetic? I will give you some losses to add up and calculate how much they come to.

THE SEARCHLIGHT WICHITA, KANSAS. Authors Misinterpreted. This is an age of illustrated books and periodicals, and there has been much complaint of late that the artists too often misinterpret the meaning of an author, or wilfully misrepresent him in the perverse carrying out of their own ideas. Indeed, sometimes it seems as if the illustrator had not read the passage he pretends to picture, and has drawn entirely on his imagination for the work of his pencil. This complaint of the artist's failure to interpret properly the work of a novelist or poet is an old one, and in the past numerous protests have been made against the manner in which works of fiction have been illustrated. The New York Mail calls attention to the fact that Charles Dickens indignantly objected to Hablot K. Brown's manner of illustrating "Dombey & Son," especially in his presentation of Paul and Mrs. Pipchin. He also found fault with the caricatures of George Cruikshank in his stories, all., indeed, would not let some of them that were submitted to him appear. No doubt many people got their idea of Dickens' characters from the pictures of the famous caricaturist, and after the break between the two men Cruikshank said that he was the originator of some of the things that Dickens claimed were his own original conceptions. Dickens refused some drawings by Thackeray because he thought they were not adapted to his creations, and there is no doubt that Dickens took little advice from his contemporaries, though he did use many of the peculiarities of his friends in the people he introduced into his novels. He was a realist, but in an exaggerated vein, which has no counterpart in the realism of our day, and his father was burlesqueed in Wilkins Micawber and his mother in Mrs. Nickleby, while he made Leigh Hunt masquerade as Harold Skipole. The dwarf, Miss Moucher, was taken from real life, and the archetype was much incensed over the fantastic dress in which she was made to appear. Nevertheless, Dickens did not want any mistakes made in the portraying of his characters by the pencil, any more than he wanted his stories unsatisfactorily dramatized for the stage. This misrepresentation by artists, however, could be reformed altogether, we believe, if they would always consult the authors before they completed their tasks. Women to Save the Nation. The three evils most menacing to the country to-day are (1) debasement of moral standards in politics and business; (2) absorption by a few, at unwarranted cost to the many, of the common wealth, and (3) unreasonable and violent expression of resentment by the multitude. With each of these perils the American woman is quite as competent to cope as the American may, says North American Review. That she would be less tolerant of moral deficiency in a candidate for public office requires no demonstration; that, as a careful householder and ambitious mother constantly practicing economies for the advancement of her children, she would take an active part in restraining monopolies from adding undue profits to the cost of living seems evident; that her keen personal interest in the preservation and protection of homes and property would inevitably constitute her a conservative balance against the increasing horde of foreign-born voters may also, we submit, be accepted as a certainty. For the purposes, therefore, of purifying the ballot, of establishing and maintaining lofty standards as to the qualifications required of candidates for public office, of effecting an evener distribution of earnings, of providing a heavier balance of disinterestedness and conservatism against greed and radicalism, we reiterate the expression of our firm belief that universal suffrage has now become, not only desirable, but almost a paramount issue. It is Spanish gossip that when Princess, afterward Queen, Victoria complained to her uncle, King William that some ladies of the court in Madrid objected because she proposed to entertain English friends who were not of the royal family, her uncle advised her to "be a sensible girl," and said, "Do not make enemies. Respect people's stupidity when necessary. In time, if you are wise, you will have everything your own way." Whether the king ever said this or not, it is pretty good advice for everyone. The negro who has just died at Washington at the age of 114 declared that he had a clear recollection of the war of 1812 and the capture of Washington by the British, but strangely enough he never claimed to have been a body servant of George Washington. A train robber was captured out west a few days ago while he was taken. It probably surprised the decesives to find that a train robber ever found it necessary to go to pless. A Well-Known Remedy. One of the oldest, safest and most favorably known remedies in the world to-day is Brandreth's Pills—a blood purifier and laxative. Being purely vegetable, they can be used by old or young with perfect safety, and while other remedies require increased doses and finally cease acting altogether, with Brandreth's Pills the same dose always has the same effect, no matter how long they are taken. One or two pills taken each night for a while is the best thing known for any one troubled with constipation, indigestion, dyspepsia or any trouble arising from impurity of the blood. Brandreth's Pills have been in use for over a century, and are for sale everywhere, plain or sugar-coated. Cosmopolitan America. Is there a type of "average American workman?" Dr. Arthur Shadwell, an Englishman, author of "Industrial Efficiency," tells how in one of the older towns of Massachusetts he witnessed a procession of cotton operatives on strike. "They were marshaled by nationalities with a curious effect. The different types, cheek by jowl, stood out in vivid contrast—the French, the familiar English, the Celtic, the Scandinavian, the Slav. the small Portuguese and the swarthy Greek. Such a sight can be seen nowhere else. It brought before my eyes in one living picture the amazing cosmopolitanism of American labor and made me think with a smile of that convenient abstraction but almost mythical person of whom we have heard so much—the 'average American workman.'" Treatment of Habitual Criminals: The New Zealand minister for justice has introduced the habitual criminals and offenders bill, which provides that where a person has been twice convicted of a criminal assault or four times of wounding, robbery or burglary, he may be regarded as an habitual criminal and at the expiration of his sentence detained in a reformatory. After six convictions for vagrancy a man may be treated in the same way. Discharge from the reformatory will be secured only on the recommendation of the court, while the detained offenders will be made to work and wages will be placed to their credit or toward the support of their dependents. His Monument. There has been set in a cemetery in Orwell, Oswego county, N. Y., as the memorial of a lumberman, framed of granite and marble, the exact reproduction in miniature of a sawmill in the town of Redfield, which was owned by the deceased. On the scale of an inch to the foot, the mill is complete in every detail, being provided with saws, carriages, rollers to carry off the sawed lumber, skids with three logs placed thereon ready to roll on the carriage car, which is loaded with lumber. So one man has escaped from the conventional angel with outspread wings, the recumbent sheep, and all the rest.—Springfield Republican. Workman's Pride at Best. Joseph Mowbray, who was building a chimney at the Westwood church, Kalkaska, having raised it to the height of 25 feet, and run out of brick descended to the ground. He had scarcely done so when lightning struck the church. The point where Joe would have been, had he remained, was that at which the bolt did some of its worst work. Joe feels grateful for being out of brick, as had he been killed at work he would always have thought Providence dissatisfied with the job, and Joe prides himself that no man this side of Jordan can build a better chimney than he.—Detroit News. Much "Dead" Mail Matter More than 11,000,000 pieces of mail went astray in the United States last year because they were not directed even well enough for the experts to decipher the names and addresses. Millions of this immense total went to the Dead Letter Office, where a lot of it was opened, the addresses of the writers ascertained and the letters or packages returned. But in a great many cases the writer's address is never found and the letter is really "dead." COFFEE IMPORTERS Publish a Book About Coffee. There has been much discussion as to Coffee and Postum lately, so much in fact that some of the coffee importers and roasters have taken to type to promote the sale of their wares and check if possible the rapid growth of the use of Postum Food Coffee. In the coffee importers' book a chapter is headed "Coffee as a Medicine," and advocates its use as such. Here is an admission of the truth, most important to all interested. Every physician knows, and every thoughtful person should know, that habitual use of any "medicine" of the drug-stimulant type of coffee or whisky quickly causes irritation of the tissues and organs stimulated and finally sets up disease in the great majority of cases if persisted in. It may show in any one of the many organs of the body and in the great majority of cases can be directly traced to coffee in a most unmistakable way by leaving off the active irritant—coffee—and using Postum Food Coffee for a matter of ten days. If the result is relief from nervous trouble, dyspepsia, bowel complaint, heart failure, weak eyes, or any other malady set up by a poisoned nervous system, you have your answer with the accuracy of a demonstration in mathematics. "There's a reason" for Postum. THE GREAT SANDTOWN TURKEY THEFT A Story of a Mean Man and a Mean Deed That Was Its Own Reward. Noah Wamskittle was a mean man; one of those mean people who hate to see others prosperous, even though it does not interfere with them at all. He lived in Sandtown and raised turkeys, like everybody else. He earned a lot of money, because he fattened his turkeys well. It was his only generous deed, for he begrudged even the food that he gave himself, and as for others! Well, Deacon Vandertassel once said that Noah Wamskittle was so mean that he would walk three miles to borrow a match rather than use one of his own to light his fire in the morning. Noah Wamskittle did not like Deacon Vandertassel at all, and he liked him even less after he heard this. So some days before Thanksgiving day, he went to a poor man in Sandtown and said to him: "You know that we will all have to ship our turkeys to-morrow. Now, you have only 50 and if you do not get a good price for them you will be hard pressed for money this winter. Well, I know a way to make the prices higher for you. If you will go to Deacon Vandertasset's place with ``` A man sitting on the ground, holding a knife in his hand, with a look of distress on his face. He is wearing a hat and a coat with a plaid pattern. In the background, there is a wooden cabin with a window and a door. The scene is set in a rural area with trees and a rocky ground. "I See It All" He Moaned. me to night we can cut holes into his turkey houses and let all his birds fly into the woods. He will be quite unable to catch them again in time for shipment and the people in the city will be glad to pay you high prices for yours." The poor man, whose name was Bill Leggo, made believe to agree with the mean man. But really he did not agree with him at all, for he came of poor but honest parents, and was very much like them himself. So he devised a cunning plan. That night he went to Noah's house and said to him: "Let us go to do this deed. But we will have to go into the woods just behind your house and work around through them for several miles, so as to approach the deacon's place through the underbrush in the back. It would never do for us to be seen." "That is a good idea," said Noah. "But I do not know the way through the woods." "I will guide you," said poor but honest Bill. "I fear, however, that you will find it rough going, for we cannot dare to carry a lantern." He took hold of Noah's arm and off they went, up and down and in and out, through thick and thin and thorn and swamp, this way and that way. THE FESTIVAL OF HOME. Thanksgiving Pre-eminently the Day of Family Gatherings. The good old New England festival of Thanksgiving is one that age does not wither nor custom stale. Originally, and still nominally, a distinctly religious festival, it appeals to all, whether old or young, whether professedly religious or not, and whatever may be their religious belief or convictions. To college boys and football teams the day may seem to be of special significance in reference to triumphs or disasters on the gridiron field, but even to these it carries another and deeper significance which will grow with the years. And to those of mature years, men and women past 40, for example, this gracious, time-honored festival serves to punctuate their INCO Rooster—For heaven's sake, Stru t, old boy, what are you doing in that garb? Been in a wreck? Gobbler—Pstt! No; not so loud ; you know it is not safe for me to be recognized this time of year. twisting and turning, till Noah was nearly dead and only his great meanness kept him going. At last, scratched and bruised and full of mud, weary and suffering, he fell into a deep mudhole, which, strangely enough, had been avoided cleverly by poor but honest Bill. "Never mind," whispered Bill, helping him up, "we have arrived." Noah looked through the underbrush, but he could see nothing except a black mass of something in the darkness. "Those are the barns," said Bill. "Here, take this saw and saw holes into the walls there and I will creep around the other way and scare the turkeys so they will come out." Noah, madder and meaner than ever, worked hard and saw big holes, out of which the turkeys scuttled. Then, as Bill scared them up, off they flew into the woods until the whole big flock had vanished. As soon as the last one had gone, poor but honest Bill seized Noah and said: "We must hurry back and we must go the same way we came." "Oh, dear, oh, dear," groaned Noah ```markdown ``` But he followed, and once more he was dragged through mudholes and creeks and over stumps and rocks until his shins and nose were skinned and every part of him was sore. At last they emerged on a road and in a few moments they were at Noah's front gate and the mean man hurried to bed. The next morning he could hardly get up, because he was so sore. But he crawled out to feed his turkeys. When he got to the barnyard, his heart nearly stood still. There was not a single, solitary turkey in the place. He stood with his mouth open, wondering. Then, slowly a terrible suspicion entered his mind. He limped as fast as he could to the back, and, sure enough, there he found great holes in the walls of the houses. "I see it all," he moaned, sitting right down in the mud. "That villain took me through the woods and back to my own turkey houses." He was quite right. When poor but honest Bill went by the house, carting his 50 turkeys to the town, Noah Wamskittle shook his fist out of the window, but Bill Leggo only laughed, and so did everybody else in Sandtown when they heard of it. lives, so to speak, and marks the passage of years perhaps even more distinctly than New Year's day or birthdays. For Thanksgiving is pre-eminently the festival of home, the day of all others when home ties and associations assert their sway the strongest, linking the present with the past and binding all to the future. All who are happy enough to have a home and hearth turn gladly to it for rest and refreshment of body and mind, and, whether present or absent from the home circle, that is the center and inspiration of their thoughts. Perhaps to none is the day more full of associations and memories than to those who cannot thus join the home circle. The toiler in the city or in the country, unable even for a day to quit his duties, still takes pleasure in thinking of those at home, and in imagination, at least, takes his place at the annual home gathering and shares the pleasure of the day. GNITO. Survival of Ancient Belief. It is an ancient belief that a man's name has some mysterious sympathy with his nature, whence arise such stories as that of Rumpelstiltskin, whose power over a human being vanishes the moment that his name si pronounced aloud. It has been suggested, with some show of reason, that the modern practice of "naming" a refractory member of the house of commons is merely a survival of this belief, which our Norse ancestors brought into England—St. James' Gazette.

"Words canon't speak highly enough for the Cuticura Remedies. I am now seventy-two years of age. My system had been all run down. My blood was so bad that blood poisoning had set in. I had several doctors attending me, so finally I went to the hospital where I was laid up for two months. My foot and ankle were almost beyond recognition. Dark blood flowed out of wounds in many places and I was so disheartened that I thought surely my last chance was slowly leaving me. As the foot did not improve, you can readily imagine how I felt. I was simply disgusted and tired of life. I stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time I was not able to wear a shoe and not able to work. Some one spoke to me about Cuticura. The consequences were I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies of one of my friends who was a druggist, and the praise that I gave after the second application is beyond description; it seemed a miracle for the Cuticura Remedies took effect immediately. I washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before applying the Ointment and I took the Resolvent at the same time. After two weeks' treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness and who have seen it since the cure, can hardly believe their own eyes. Robert Schoenhauer, Newburg, N. Y., August 21, 1905." The towering Washington monument, solid as it is, cannot resist the heat of the sun, poured on its southern side on a midsummer's day, without a slight bending of the gigantic shaft which is rendered perceptible by means of a copper wire, 174 feet long, hanging in the center of the structure and carrying a plummet suspended in a vessel of water.

INSOMNIA CURED Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Restored Wrecked Nerves to Normal Condition and Good Health Followed. The sufferer from sleeplessness too often resorts to habit-forming drugs in order to secure the coveted rest. But sleep obtained by the use of opiates is not refreshing and the benefit is but temporary at best. Mrs. H. A. Fletcher, of 59 Blodget street, Manchester, N. H., is living evidence of the truth of this statement. She says: "I received a shock of an apophetic character. It was so severe that the sight of my right eye was affected, causing me to see objects double. I was confined to my bed about four weeks, at one time being told by the doctor that I could not get well. When I could leave my bed I was in such a nonsense state that I could not sleep at night. I would get up and sit on a chair until completely tired out and then go back to bed and sleep from exhaustion. "I had been under the doctor's care for six weeks when my sister, Mrs. Lovehand, of Everett, persuaded me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I began taking the pills with the result that I soon experienced relief. One night soon after taking them I lay awake only a short time and the next night I rested well. From that time I slept well every night and soon got well and strong. I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a number of times, and my niece has taken them for weak nerves and poor blood and found them very beneficial." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured many severe nervous troubles, headache, neurologia and sciatica as well as diseases of the blood such as asenomia, rheumatism, pale and sallow complexions and many forms of weakness.

HAVE PROTECTED JOINTISTS Topeka, Kan., Nov. 22—C. C. Coleman, attorney general, filed this morning two ouster suits against Mayor F. W. O'Donnell of Junction City and Mayor A. B. Kirkwood of Pittsburgh for collecting money from the jointists and keepers of bawdy houses in those cities. He also filed two suits against the cities for accepting the money and allowing its officers to protect the jointists. While the attorney general will not say anything regarding the cases, there is a well defined rumor that this is only the beginning of a general "joint" war in Kansas, and that every mayor of every town in the state where saloons are permitted to run by the payment of regular monthly fines will be proceeded against at once. It is believed that the present attorney general before he leaves his office in January will have begun at least thirty cases in the supreme court which his successor will have to take care of. It is believed by many that this is simply the beginning of a well defined plan to enforce the prohibitory law in the state, and enforce it to the letter. The filing of the suits came as a great surprise as no indication that the attorney general was preparing to take action to enforce the prohibitory law in any other cities of the state except Kansas City, Kan., had been made, except that similar proceedings were prepared three weeks ago against Mayor Goodlander and the city of Fort Scott In all the cases filed today it is recited that the custom of accepting $50 a month from the jointists and keepers of bawdy houses has been the common practice of the mayors and officers of the two towns for at least five years. It is shown that each of the towns has an ordinance which prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquors except for medical, scientific or mechanical purposes, and that the ordinances provide penalties for violations. The petitions set forth that these ordinances are wholly void and ineffectual in that the officers of the two cities accept the payments of regular fines or allow the violators to pay a certain amount as bail with the intention that this money should be forfeited. CONSTITUTION IS PARAMOUNT LAW. Resolution Was Passed By Guthrie Convention. Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 22.—The constitution of the United States was adopted by the constitutional convention here today, but the words in the resolution presented by J. A. Baker declaring it to be the highest and the paramount law of the new state, were eliminated after a most exciting debate. In the afternoon committee reports were heard, followed by a love feast. The convention will meet in the mornings daily from 10 to 12 and in the afternoon at 2. When the constitutional convention assembled in the morning Chairman announced the committee which will investigate the amount of money additional to the $100,000 already appropriated by congress is needed for the constitutional convention and the election to ratify the constitution, and to prepare a memorial to congress on the matter. The men appointed were H. E. Asp, J. E. Slater, R. E. Houston, Wayne Jenkins, J. H. N. Cobb, P. B. Hopkins, W. B. Hudson, C. O. Frye, Homer G. Covey and Rev. Cloud. Chairman Hurray was authorized to swear in delegates who had not taken the oath. Carlton Weaver and James I. Wood were sworn in. C. N. Haskell, Judge Rose and J. A. Baker were named as the committee to assign seats for the delegates. The committee on additional officers reported and paved the way for the distribution of another large batch of pie. It provided a second vice-president and a reading clerk at a salary of $4 per day, to be elected by the convention, and the following officers to be appointed by the president and confirmed by the convention: Henry Asp, of Guthrie, told the convention that he received two to one of the Democratic votes cast in his district, and that in the convention he would represent neither the Republicans nor the Democrats, but the whole people of the whole state, and that the dozen Republicans would be found working always for the public good. He urged that politics be forgotten, and assured the Democratic minority that he bore no malice towards them, and that the minority would not sulk in their tents because their party had been beaten, but would represent the people of their districts as they should. Pittman, of Enid, a Democrat, made a similar speech in which he said that "the man who is a partisan before a patriot is a traitor to his country. Mitch, of Oklahoma City, another Democrat spoke of the high regard in which he held Mr. Asp, and assured the minority that if it offered anything of value it would receive support from him. The love feast continued until adjournment. Minute clerk $5 per day, enrolling, engrossing and journal clerk each, Two doorkeepers, four cloak room assistants, two watchmen and a messenger at $4 each, four janitors and two ushers at $2.50 each, postmaster and mail carrier and three committee stenographers at $4 each, five pages at $4 and three official reporters and stenographers at $6 each. The election of a second vice-president was the first thing up in the afternoon. Pittman nominated Albert H. Ellis, of the Fourteenth district, and Harrison presented the name of F. E. Herring, of the Forty-sixth Ellis won by a vote of 51 to 30. For reading clerk there were five nominations — Albert Lee, W. W. Vandiver, R. E. L. Bazley, R. L. Wiliams, of Altus, and Claud McCryall, of Alva. The fight was between the last two, Williams winning on the third ballot, with 63 votes. O. M. Watts, of Sallisaw, and Albert Greenwood, of Guthrie, were appointed pages. You Look Prematurely Old Because of those ugly, grizzly, gray hairs. Use "LA CREOLE" HAIR RESTORER. Price, $1.00, retail. A MISSOURI WOMAN Tells a Story of Awful Suffering and Wonderful Relief. Mrs. J. B. Johnson, of 603 West Hickman street, Columbia, Mo., says: "Following an operation two years ago, dropy set in, and my left side was so swollen the doctor said he would have to tap out the water. There was constant pain and a gurgling sensation around my heart, and I could not raise my arm Following an operation two years ago, dropy set in, and my left side was so swollen the doctor said he would have to tap out the water. There was constant pain and a gurgling sensation around my heart, and I could not raise my arm above my head. The kidney action was disordered and passages of the secretions too frequent. On the advice of my husband I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. Since using two boxes my trouble has not reappeared. This is wonderful, after suffering two years." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Women at Strenuous Tasks. On the western coast of the United States, at Monterey, Cal., Mrs. Fish keeps the lamps lighted in the Point Pinas lighthouse. On the eastern coast, at South Portland, Me., Mrs. Gordon earns her living by working as a deep-sea diver. Sprinkled over the country between these two women are thousands of other members of the female sex who deserve to be enrolled as auxiliaries to Mr. Kipling's corps of "Unafraid Gentlemen." And then, from the woman in Utah who is sheeriff and hangs murderers, to the woman in Chicago who bosses a gang of Italian street cleaners, he tells the role of women who are engaged in strenuous occupations in the United States. Wherever man has tried to wrest a living from unwilling nature there woman has also left the impress of her daring exploits—Technical World. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Veteran Driver Has Record. James H. Johnson of Washington, who drove the remaining members of the Davis family at the funeral of Mrs. Jefferson Davis, in Richmond, has driven the Davis carriage at the funerals of each of the members who have gone before. He drove at the funerals of Jefferson Davis and Miss Winnie Davis. He has never missed attending a Confederate reunion since the war. "Hight-Falutin" Writing. A correspondent of an English church paper winds up his account of a meeting held at a certain town by observing that it "must have been very disappointing to those who were working the oracle," that it "shows the whole movement is a false exotic which has been worked from London," and that the townpeople "value the bubble at its true worth." Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands. Fine Wireless Station. A Berlin writer states that a wireless signal station is now in course of erection at Norddeich for the German government postal authorities, which will have an effective radius of 923 miles, equal to the distance from Naples to St. Petersburg. The station consists of four iron towers, 213 feet high. Immense Pecan Orchard. Maj. John S. Hortbeck, of Charleston, S. C., is said to own the largest bearing pecan orchard in the world. He has more than 60 acres in bearing trees and his main grove consists of 550 acres. Give Defiance Starch a fair trial—try it for both hot and cold starching, and if you don't think you do better work, in less time and at smaller cost, return it and your grocer will give you back your money.

While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. This is a severe strain on a woman's vitality. When pain exists something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to a serious derangement of the whole female organism.

Good women are sentinels of divine mercy, scattering corals of sunshine in truth in man's path in his mad path from lowest state of life to the gift of man, with pen of divine inspiration in one hand, are commonly writing on the table of man's part against his coarser nature, the sentiment that directs him to a older and higher impulse in life, while the other hand she holds a wreath of divine mercy, fraternal love truth under which the head of every man must pass. Man's estate in life will never raise him to the height that will exclude him from its view or sink him so low that what at some time he will raise eyes from the smouldering embers wasted life and read from its godly imagination a mother's prayer, a mother's entreaty to higher life.
