PROSPERITY or. GUTHRIE
Following the reading of the statc-
ment the members OF the board en-
gagged in random discussion on several
topics. Captain Barnes arose and rc.
marked that meeting had been
called for to-day to select delegates to
the King6sher statehood convention.
He urged that ali mem bers attend the
meeting, and was seconded by Prc~i-
dent Spengel, VINO remarked that ii
was about time for Guthrie 10 take uu
active interest in statehood matters.
A happy feature Of the meeting wa,
the statement of President Spengol ia
which he told of Guthrie's prosperity
in so far as freight business in this
city is concerned. The boastful as
sertions of Oklahoma City people chat
Guthrie was not in it were exploded
when it was brought to light that the
railroad receipts of Guthrie during the
month of October equaled the receipts
Of Oklahoma City and Winfield com
bined, and were within fraction Of
equaling the combined freight receipts
of Arkansas City and Oklahoma City.
other membe of the board spoke Of
the capital city's thrift in other chan
nels ard told of the coming of can
ming factory and other manufacturing
institutions-all of which made the
members present feel so cxhilerated
that an adjournment motion was in
order, and the board dissolved until
next Wednesday evening, when it is
hoped the club room will be filed
with active and enthusiastic citizens.

The famous leaning tower of Pisa
is a campanile, or bell tower. 1t was
begun in II74 by the two famous
architects-Bonano, of Pisa, and Will
lam 1nnspruck. The tower, which is
cylindrical in form, is I7o feet high
and 50 feet in diameter, made entirely
of white marble. 1t has eight stories,
each with All outside gallery project
ing several feet from the building, and
each decorated with columns and ar
cades. In the center of the tower a
flight of $40 steps passes up to the
summit. 1t is called the leaning tow.

thirty feet from the perpendicular, and

the highest portion. There are seven
bells on the top of the tower, the lar

the tower itself.

Water Level of Two Oceans.

When the Panama canal was first
proposed, there was a great cry about
the dangers courted in opening up
such "ditch,'. some extremists de-
claring that the ''lives of millions of
human beings were at stake" This
general alarm was caused by the ar
gument that the waters on the Pacific
side of the isthmus were hundreds of
feet higher than were those on the
Atlantic side, and that the great rush
of water to even up the difference in
the level of the two oceans would
drown all Southern America and most
of Mexico and Yucatan. Would-be
engineers and sensational editors pass
ed their opinions or wrote editorials
on the subject. It now transpires, as
result Of actual survey, that the At
lantic and not the Pacific, is the high
er Of the two oceans, and that in place
of the difference being hundreds of
feet, as had been affirmed, the surface
of the water on the east side of the
isthmus is exactly six and one-half
feet higher than it is on the western
side.

Economy in Fashionable Dressmaking.

Though passing through CONNER
clal crisis of unusual intensity, we may
safely count on natural reaction at
a not far distant day, for the unlimit-
less resources of this great country are
bound to bring good times back again.
AS long, however, as the financial un-
certainty lasts, many woman will feel
that she must curtail, in some degree,
the expenses of her wardrobe. Now
is the time to subscribe to first class
fashion magazine, which will not only
illustrate the current styles, but, at the
same time, teach how 10 make them
by means of series of f.practical less
ons. This is most judicious econo-
my which can be accomp ished with
out any perceptible change in ones
mole Of dressing, and without conse
quently attracting the critical notice of
ones nelghbors. The Mcdowell FASH
ion Journals are calculated to fill this
need. They are the finest publica-
tions of their kind in either Paris or
New York, and contain, precisely, a
series of lessons teaching practical
dressmaking Ladies as we'll as dress
makers, will find still further advan.
tage in them, for Messrs. A. Mcdowell

tions (or indeed, for that matter, any
design clipped from any other fashion
journaD in the form of made up pa.
per models with flat patterns be-

tail of the original. This reduces ar.
tistic dressmaking to the easiest and
simplest method. The most popular
of these Fashion Magazines are "La

and "La Mode" The former two
cost only So, so each per annum, or

A Horse Tale.
r"r KNEW HOW TO MAKE MONEY ON
ABAD INVESTMENT.

| was sitting in front of a store at
iord on the upper Kentucky river
one day, when a boy about fourteen
years old rode up on an old crowbait
and said his father wanted to see me
at the mill that afternoon, if could
come down. said I'd be there, and
then began to rig the boy on the kind
OF horse he rode.
"its pap's," he said, as il that were
explanation sufficient.

inquired

"lndeeda What kind of a one did
he have then ?"
"Oh he had 4 thurrerbred that had
more daylight under lin than few.
MY ! but you ought to a.seen that
hoss," and the boys eyes sparkled with
true Kentucky equanimity.
what did he do with him p
"Sold him.

"What did he give for him?'
"Seven hundred"
Lost money on him, didn't he ?"
Not much you don't know pap.
Papd a been Yankee ef he hadn't
a been born down here" the boy
said, with pardonable pride in pap.
81 don't see how you figure it out
that he didn't lose money, just the
same"
The boy looked real sorry for me.
"You don't want to do no hoss
foolin' with pap, l reckon" he said,
tor he knew | was going to see his
father about a horse.
That's all right" / said, "but you
tell me how he didn't lose money on
that horse trade"
This time the boy smiled
"Well." he said, she took him down
IN the Blue Grass and ran him ag'in
Jim divers hoss down thar fer two
hundred dollars"
"Oh, he won the race p 1 said, be.
ginning to see the bulet-hole.
"No, he didn't he lost it." said the
boy.
By this time l wanted to drag the
kid off the crow-bait and throw him
over the river bank.
"Well, how in thunder did he make
money by selling two hundred dollars
short and losing two hundred dollars
on the race ?" inquired, warmly.
Easy enough" responded the boy
'he had few side bets on Jim's hoss
SOS he cleared up about four hundred
and forty-seven dollars on the whole
business. You can't tool pap on a
hoss, | tell you, and he knowed Jim's
wuz winner ez soon el he laid eyes
on him."
