Ex-Governor Hubbard had a close
call on his whiskers at Purcell. Step
ping into a barber shop there, he
called for a clean shave. Being IA
tigued from travel, incidental to his
arriving there, the comforts OF the
BARRIERS chair had tendency to wrap
him In gentle slumber. In the mean
while the knight Of the razor was
getting In his dastardly work Chang
ing the position Of the governors
head aroused him, anu lie saw In the
mirror before him fari0-as onslaught
on his well-beloved chin whiskers
The governeF begged pardon, so dlc
the barber, and the mutual agree
ment Of the twain reconciled natter
by marking the spot with an origina
French goatee. The governor think
it q Christmas trick, but the barber

INTERESTING MEETING.
A Large Attendance Give Audience
to Hon. W. A. LedbSttOF.
Results.

= Hon. w. A. Ledbetter, recently !
elected delegate from the Chickasaw
Nation to attend this session Of con-
gress in the interest of the .. S. cit
izens, addressed the business men of
Ardfnore yesterday afternoon at Whit
tington's Hall, on the result of his
trip. There was a large audience
at D. IN. when Mr.. Ledbetter began
his report which was listened to with
close attention for over an hour. The
various bills which have been intro
dhced in congress, were discussed ard
explained by the speaker and the in
portance of immediate action by the
people here, fully demonstrated. From
present indications it seems more
than probable that unless something
is done to change the sentiment, con-
gress will, at this session, enact a
townsite law which will in effect re-
ouirc the owners of town lots to pay
the government for the same at their
present value, regardless of the fact
thatt their enhanced value is entirely
due to the efforts or the eaGlzens Ol
che U. S. The interests Of the lease
holders, which not being represented
will not be considered, was spoken OF
and the probabilities Of attaching th'
.Chickasaw Nation to Oklahoma wa
discussed at length. After Mr.. Led
better had concluded his remarks tn
meeting went into an organization b

HnhharA ON the south.

Ex-Gov. Hubbard, on the "Past
Present and Future of the South"
spoke to a small but appreciative
audience at the Baptist church last
night. The inclement weather un-
doubtedly detained many from attend
ing who otherwise would have
grasped this opportunity Of hearing
Mr.. Hubbard on his favOrite subject,
and one which is, or should be OF In
terest to us all. His remarks were
sharp, Instructive and to the point,
touching upon the social, political
and financial conditions as they form
erly existed in the south, and the de-
gree of excellency to which these con
ditions have attained within the past
few years. Anent the condition o.
the southern farmer, the cottor
question was touched upon by tn:
speaker, and the remark that JapaI
within it's diminutive domain coulC
pay more for this staple product o
the south, than could England, wa
questioned by one or more rural list
eners. AS Mr.. Hubbard, In all prooa
bility, lectures to please the masses
and knows whereof he speaks, W.
will not attempt to say whether o
not his theories are correct
but that those 10 attendance wer'
amply repaid there Is no doubt.

THE VALUE OF BOOKS.
Why Some Volumes Are Highly Prtxed
by Collectors.

| Interview with a Book Collector
1t is remarkable fact that even reo-
| pie who are educated and intelligent know
| little about the value OF books and are .y
noraat as to what constitutes an old or a
valuable book. l have frequently heard
an educated person speak OF a book thar
| was one hundred years old, for instance.
| as very old book. OF course they thought
1t must be valuable because it was that
Old Now. / don't imagine that any book.
| printed in the English language, irrespec-
1--WE OF its author or its contents, is neces-
sarily of any value unless IL should be
printed In England prior TO 1900, or ON this
| continent prior to 100. Printing was not
begun in England until about 1414-I think
that is the date of the earliest printed book
in England. English books printed prior
to 1920 or 1928 might be valuable simply on
account Of the editing; but after that date
1 think IL would have to depend upon the
contents or the author
In regard to America the books that
are considered rare and bring enormous
prices are, first those relating to Ameri-
ca, the earliest of which was printed at
Rome in 1884 letter of Christopher Co.
lumbus in regard to his discoveries-iust
one year after he is said to have discovered
the country. Books printed In America
prior to 100, even if they are on theologi-
cal subjects or sermons, are rare Books
Of literary or nistofIcal interest printed
during that period and in this country,
bring very large prices-fabulous prices, be-
cause there is a great demand for them,
one of the causes being the establishment
of many Libraries in this country.
THE Bay Psalm Book printed in 1910,
at Cambridge, New England, was the first
book and the first book of poems printed
in the United States. The last copy sold
at auction here vas some eight or ten years
ago for 81, 300. If sold now il would bring
four times this price. The last copy sold
was bought by Cornelius Vanderbilt. Other
desirable American books are those printed
by early printers in the different states.
For instance, issues from the press of Will
liam Bradford, who was the first printer
of New York, are very valuable, and i'm
great demard."

BIRDS IN THE ARCTIC,

A curious incident is related as taking
place in well-known church recently. A
wedding was being solemnized, the con-
t.acting parties being lady and gentle
man who move In the fashionable circles of
society, while in the corner Of the church
stood youthful couple, a mulatto boy and
girl. The pal watched The ceremony in
tently, and copied each movement made by
the bride and groom whom the priest was
making man and wife. AS they knelt down
so did the other couple kneel, and when the
bridegroom placed the ring on the brides
length. when the procession emerged from
the church, the humble couple followed
looking s If they were married. 1t trans
pired that such, indeed, was their belief
They had no money wherewith to pay the
priest or the fees, so they thought a mar
riage at second hand would be just as eff
fective and cost nothing.
