Footprint. In fiat, rocky basin at
the foot of this mountain, in stone as
hard as blue granite, there is a perfect

= A certain girl we know found
package of love letters written to her
mother by her father before they were
married. The daughter saw that she
could have little sport and read them
to her mother, pretending that they
were of late date, and substituting
her name for that of her mother, and
that of fine young man for that Of
her father. The mother jumped up
and down in her chair, shifting her
feet and seemed terribly disgusted and
forbade her daughter having anything
to do with the young man who would
write such sickening and nonsensical
stuff to a girl. When the young lady
handed the letters to her mother to
read the house became so still that
one could hear the grass growing in
the backyard.
"A female writer in Philadelphia
wants people costumed so that one

living apart, and especially for single

ket? queries The transcript.

The Successful Advertiser

Is the man who writes something the
people will read, and reading, believe. In
this age of education and enlightenment,
when men read and think for themselves,
all that stuff about "selling goods cheaper
than your competitors buy them," being
the "only competent dealers in the line"
"handling better stuff than anybody
else," &C, is mere clap trap, and subjects
the writer and the firm back of it to the
contempt of all right-thinking people. The
man who has something TO offer, and then
tells the folks about in e. plain, business
way, is the man who 'gets there" and
getting there, stands.
Lots of people handle Paint. Some
handle one kind, some another, but they
all realize, if they have any business sense
at all, that in order to make that business
permanent success it is absolutely neces-
sary to give the people the very best ma
terial. This We have tried to do, and at a
price that puts it in the reach of all.
In this connection we call attention to
the fact that crops are about laid by, time
is plentiful, and little paint not only
freshens and beauties, but improves won
derfully the sanitary condition OF the
premises. If your house is all right may
be the fence needs coat. A little Paint
would keep that old buggy from falling
down, and the wagon might last year or
two longer by spending seventy. five cents
or dollar in Paint on it.
Remember this, the longer you put it
off the more it takes and The less good it
does. Remember another thing, 1t costs
Just as much, and takes just as much time,
to have cheap paint put on as it does good
Paint. Always buy the best, even if you
pay more for it.

A Negro State.

The growth of Oklahoma has been one
of the most remarkable in the history OF
American Territories. A few years ago
il was q barren wilderness, inhabited
only by savage Indians and lawless white
men to-day it is knocking at the doors
of Congress for admission to the Union
as State. When it has been admitted
it will have larger Afro-American pop,
ulation than any State of its size and
population in the Union outside the
Southern States. From figures furnish
ed by Mr.. Peter Flynn Oliver, a reputa-
BILE LAWYER of El Reno, who went to Ok
lahoma from South Carolina few years
ago, it is learned that the Afro American
population numb bers GG,000, there being
S,565 in Blaine County, 1900 in King
fisher County, S,40O in Lincoln County,
10000 in Logan County, the remainder
being scattered in all the other counties.
The total property holding Of these peo-
rle is s6,353,326, divided as follows
s., 4sS, 100 represented by 574,Sl acres OF
farm land; S37 400 represented by town
property, and $s37,736 represented by
personality. Commenting on these ng-
ures, Mr.. Oliver says:
HThe land in Oklahoma is largely raw
and the price placed upon it is extreme
build elaborately, and the majority of the
pioneers brought with them no personal
ity worth mentioning save their teams
when they first came; some came even
teamless. The personality valuation is,
therefore, very low. If you could have
seen this barren country, however, on
April %, 1889, then gone away and drop
ped down upon us to-day, you would be
wonder-struck at the metamorphosis.
The dug-out, the sod house and the
shack are being replaced by beautiful
and comfortable homes for man and
beast.
"The estimates I have given you are
for Oklahoma, excluding other portions
of the old Indian Territory. There is
large Afro American population in that
portion of the Territory, many of them
worth their hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars. The Creek and seminole nations
have more African than Indian blood in
their veins, and Governor Brown, OF the

- A Washington lady stopped runa-

middle of the Street and shaking the
skirts of her dress at the frightened ami

to her assistance. There was q wo-

- The regulations of the British post
Office require that every unsound tooth
shall be taken out of q mans head before

girl who recently was examined for pro-

one sitting by order of the official dentist,
who explained that "we can't have girls
laid up with toothache."

reply came promptly: '"Twouldn't do

vote" Mr.. Moody at once changed the
subject.

Cheap Beef and Cheap Horses.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, August 3O.-1t
is claimed by the cattle men of Southwest
Texas that the new tariff bill will result
in serious injury to the cattle of this Sec
ton. This reduces the duty from $40 per
head to 2U per cent. advalorem, and now
that the grass is good on this side 1t is e1-
pected that at least 100000 cattle will be
brought into Texas from Mexico within
the next sixty days, and after being fat
tened marketed in this country, thus
forcing down the prices. Thousands OF
head Of COWS and stock cattle will also be
brought into Texas from Mexico. There
will also be large expectations of cheap
horses from Mexico into this country.
