bility be a decent member of society in

When Bill was a schoolboy ut Fourteen
Mile Greek, midway between Fort Glib
son and Talequah, he fell in love with O
pretty girl, Martha Pittman. Their ro-
nance ran along smoothly enough until
Bill was convicted of smuggling whisky
into the Territory-an offense that q great
many people are guilty of. Then Mar
tha's father vowed that his daughter
would never marry a criminal, and when
Bill got out of Jail he was refused per-
mission to call on Martha. Like a true
sweetheart Martha stood by her lover,
but Bill refused to marry her without the
old mans consent and swore that If he
could not obtain it he'd go on the, warpath
and put the whole Indian Territory on
the run at the point of his Winchester.
To the warpath he consequently took

The Lord Delivered Us.

Congressman Marriott Brosius, in the
course of q grand and eloquent address,
quoted Carlyle's description of Sir
Henry vane of England, who flour
ished ONE generations back. MI.
Broslus applied this description to the
distinguished Congressman Wilson,
who led the fight for the establishment
Of free trade in America. These words
of the great Carlyle as applied to Sir
Henry Vane are so apt and appropriate
to Mr.. Wilson that we reproduce them
here. The lines are as follows:
"Grant him all manner of purity and
elevation; subtitle, high discourse and
intellectual d~exterity; an amiable, de-
won't and Jealous His tendency
toward the abstract and thcoretic is ir-
resistible. His hold on the concrete
wherein lies everything that is prac-
teal and permanent is not that of a
giant or born practical king. His as
tonishing subtility of mind conducts
him not to new clearness, but to ever
new abstruseness, wheel within wheel,
and depth under depth. His astonish-
i.g intellect occupies itself in splitting
hairs, and not in twisting cordage, or
other eifectual draught Tickle to take
road with. You can only get away

The launching of the new ocean liner,

the partial extension of the postal SUBJ

The explosion occurred while the mill

five named were dead when taken out
from under the brick, timber and sawdust.
Mothers and sisters ran to the mill from
NIL directions, crying pitiously for fear
their husbands and fathers had been
killed, and the scene was one of complete
confusion for several minutes. A fire
broke out in the ruins and an alarm called
q company to the scene. Charles Doege
was found on the platform between the

by a hot steam pipe under boards and
timbers. The shock of the explosion was
felt two miles away. but the report was
