Editor Dana's Tribute to the Bible.

Young aspirants for journalistic
honors will find in Mr. Charles 4.
Dana's art Of Newspaper-making -
little volume just issued by the Ap-
pletons-some things which they may
care to gee This book Is made mp Of
three lectures recently delivered in
various places. From the first lecture,
which was given before the Wisconsin
Editorial Association, we extract the
following: What books ought you
TO read There are some books that
are Indispensable few books. Ale
most all books have their use, even
the silly ones, and an omniyorous
reader, if he read intelligently, need
never feel that bio time il wasted, even
when be bestows it on the hmslest
trash that j. printed but there are
GONE books that are absolutely indis-
pensable to the kind Of education that
We are contemplating, and to the pro.
fession that we are considering, and Of
all these the most Indispensable. the
most useful, the one whose knowledge
is most effective, ls the Bible. There
j, no book from which more valuable
Lessons con be learned. am consider
ing it now not az a religious book, bat
az a manual Of utility, Of professional
use for a journalist. There il perhaps
no book whose style is more suggestive
and more instructive, from which you
can learn more directly that sublime
simplicity which never exsggerates,
which recounts the greatest events
with solemnity. Of course, but with
out sentimentalIty or shectationi none
which you can open with such conf
dence and lay down with such reyer-
ence. There is no book like the Bible.
When you get into controversy and
want exactly the right answer, when
you are looking for an expression, what
is there that closes a dispute like verse
from the Bible? What is it that sets
up the right principle for you, which
pleads for policy Tor a cause, 50 much
az the right passage Of Holy Scripture"

At fourteen she had two ambitions.

STOLEN OATS.
Two Men With Families Charged

Two Men With Families Charged
With the Theft.
Detectives Shoaf and Shelley yes-
terday afternoon arrested j. P. Nc
Intyre out on the Rock Quarry
road, on charge of theft. jim
Mason, a colored man, was arrested
In the morning. Both are team
sters who have been hauling coal
from cars at the |. and G. n. depot.
Both are married men, having
families of little children.
A few nights ago two freight
cars filled with oats, were broken
open aud some twenty sacks of
oats were stolen. The detectives
were notified and suspecting
Mason, they went out to his heuse
and found traces OF oats scattered
about. Then they took Mason
along.
Yesterday morning Street Com.
missioner Crowther was driving
in along the Rock quarry or gar
bage wagon road from his house
and noticed, some distance in the
mesquite chapparal, a great pile
OF oats. When he arrived at the
city hall he incidentally mention
ed the fact to Detective Shoaf.
They were the oats the detective
had been looking for, evident
ly and with Detective Shelley
he drove out there, found the
pile in the brush, and track
ed the oats clearly to the
house of Mcintyre near the Alamo
cement works, and into his barn,
where there were other traces. Nc
Intyre drove horse and mule in
his team when hauling coal and
the tracks from the oat pile to his
house showed a horse and mule
track. Mcintyre was arrested.
Both men are charged with
burglary and theft and it is under
stood that Mason has made a con-
fession.

| Nj son, If thou wilt receive my words,
isl and hide my commandments with thee:
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom.
and apply thine heart to understanding;
Yea. if thou criest after knowledge. and
/ liftest up thy voice for understanding;
Ifthou seekest her as silver, and searchest
for her as for hid treasures;
Then shalt thou understand the fear OF the
Lord, and lind the knowledge OF God.
For the Lord glveth wisdom; out of his
mouth cometh knowledge and understanding
The schools of this country opened
this week, and it is a pleasure to note
that in all sections the attendance is
increasing over former years. Young
ladies have been turned away from
the female seminary at Tahlequah in
considerable numbers and have come
home, for lack of room, scholars here
tofore attending being given prefer
ence. The schools of this city all
opened well, with over 260 pupils pre-
senting themselves the first day, which
number has been materially increased
since that time. Vinita appreciates
education and its schools probably as
much as any other enlightened COM
munity, but it is doubted if we even
begin to grasp the Importance of this
blessing Of education which is at our
door-blessing both to the recipient
and to those among whom he lives.
With all our school facilities, plenty
as they seem, poverty probably shuts
the doer of our educational institu-
tiOns against a score Of children in
this town. There have been a few
philanthropic individuals who year
after year have paid the tuition Of
some poor children, but these are not
enough. There is no charity which
compares with this, which is as endur
ing and Of value to all, and we hope
that more persons will see their way
to provide school facilities for those
who are too poor to pay. The ladies'
missionary societies of any of the
churches will take pleasure in point
ing out worthy beneficiaries and see
ing that imposition is not practiced,
and will PROBABLY provide clothing
when necessary.
