fashioned mothers were inclined to
straighten their daughters backs, and
better even than the constant Hold
yourself straight, Mary" with which
others have sought to correct faults of
carriage, are the two following simple
exercises:
The first one is said to be effective,
not only in Strengthening shoulders, but
also in reducing the waist measure, a
consummation generally devoutly
wished. To take it, assume the per-
feet position with the heels together
forming an angle of forty-five degrees,
raise the body slowly on the toes, at
the same time lifting the arms straight
from the sides until they meet above
the head. Lower them until they are
extended out on straight line with
the shoulders, then make the finger tips
meet or as nearly meet as possible,
the arms being extended toward the
back. Descend slowly to a level.
For a second exercise take the same
original position. Then drop the arms
lfelessly by the side. initiating and rails
ing the chest to the full capacity mus
cularly, keeping the chin well drawn in
and the crown of the head feeling as if
ceiling above. Slowly rise upon the
balls of both feet to the greatest possi-
BILE height, thereby exercising all the
muscles of the legs and body, and drop
once more into the standing position
without swaying the body backward
out of the perfect line. Repeat this
same exercise, first on one foot and
then on the other.
1t is wonderful what a Strengthening
out power it has upon round shoulders
and crooked backs, and one will be sur
prised to note how soon the lungs begin
TO show the effect of such expansive de-
velopment. The exercise is best taken
in the open air, but even as an indoor
exercise 1t is one of the best for
strengthening the muscles, straighten-
ing the shoulders and expanding the
lungs.

SHOULD DIE TONIGHT.

II should die tonight,
MY friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid 1t in its resting place,
And deem that death had left it almost
fair;
And, laying snow-white flowers against
my hair,
Would smooth 1t down with fearful ten
derness,
And fold my hands with lingering caress,
Poor hands, so empty and so cold tonight.
If should die tonight.
My friends would call to mind, with low
ing thought,
Some kindly deed the icy hands had
wrought;
Some gentle word the frozen lips had
said;
Errands on which the willing feet had
sped;
The memory Of my selhshness and pride,
My hasty words, would all be laid aside,
And so should be loved and mourned to-
night.
II should die tonight,
Even hearts estranged would turn once
more to me.
Recalling other days remorsefully;
The eyes that child me, with averted
glance,
Would look upon me as OF yore perchance
And soften in the old familiar way;
For who could war with dumb, uncon-
scious clay?
So / might rest. forgiven OF all, tonight.
Oh, friends pray tonight,
Keep not your kisses for my dead, cold
brow
The way is lonely, let me feel them now.
Think gently of me; l am travel-worn;
My faltering feet are pierced with many
a thorn;
Forgive. oh, hearts estranged. forgive,

The junior senator from Colorado,
Mr.. Wolcott, is credited with being one
of the nerviest poker players in Wash
ington, and that is saying a good deal,
when there are sucn men as Vest,
Cameron, Quay, Jones, of Nevada, and
two or three others who do not play
the game for gain, but have the reputa-
ton of being able to size up a bluff"
or make one with any player in the
country.
A story IS related Of Wolcott, who
sat in what was supposed to be a
gentleman's game of poker, at one of
the well-known resorts in Washing
ton not many months ago. On this oc-
casion the senator was not very well
acquainted with the men who hap
pened to be sitting in the game. He
kept losing, but never lost his nerve.
He recognized that he had sharpers
to deal with, but his chance came at
last. The gamblers were dealing about
the kind of hands they wanted to- and
when a big Jackpot was reached a
straight, running from five to nine was
given Senator Wolcott. After the jack
pot was opened the senator, instead
of standing pat" as his opponents
had expected, drew one card.
In his first hand he had four hearts
and the seven of diamonds. He dis
carded the seven of diamonds, and in
the next draw secured the seven of
hearts, which gave him a straight
flush. The other players drew, and
filled some wonderful hands, one of
them holding an ordinary flush, anoth-
er a full house, and so on, with a
third fondly caressing four aces.
The betting, of course, was lively,
and never ceased until Mr. Wolcotts
adversaries had all their money on the
table. His straight flush, of course.
won the pot, and the senator was the
hero in pokerdom for weeks afterward.

a collation. that was always set out for
them.
Democrats and Republicans compos-
ed this club, and II has been whispered
that compromises on important bills
have frequently been reached at these
games. OF course II has never been
hinted that the determination of the
value of hands" held by the players
had anything to do with deciding leg
islation. Some of the members who
were said to belong to this private
poker party are still in the senate, but
seldom indulge in their old pastime.
1t has also been declared that these
games were not played for mere amuse-
ment, but that large sums of money
were wagered, and the winnings or los
ingc during one sitting ran into the
thousands.
Some of the stories of the big games
of the 'old days" are taken with a
large grain of salt. Many of them
were similar to the game in which
ex-Congressman Tom Ochiltree was
engaged not so very long ago. Ochil-
tree was discovered one morning COM
ing down Fifteenth street looking
very blue. A friend meeting him in

Now comes j. Lawrence Hamilton, NJ.
r. c.. s., of Brighton England, with for
midably formulated scientific facts to
prove that baked breads often fail to be
heated in baking to the point at which
the bacteria in the doughy interior are
killed, with the result that our bread
may be full of disease germs. 1t was
shown in the Lancet last September that
typhoid fever was spread in the army in
India by half-baked plum cakes made
with impure water. The interior OF a
loaf Is often not heated above 1853 de-
grees, which is insufficient to kill vari-
Gus microbes. 1t Is accordingly unsuited
for use by dyspeptics, Two curious facts
are brought out by Mr.. Lawrence Ham
ilton's experiments. He finds that while
the loaf as a whole is cooling the interior
may have a rise of IS degrees in temper
ature the heat Of the exterior being
absorbed by the interior. Cooking Is,
therefore, 1t is held, often CONTINUED and

ministratlon that this relief expedition
will disclose the truth about Cuba, and
that when the truth Is known the world
will support American intervention for
the purpose of bringing the war to an
end.
Therefore the issue Is Joined, and
Spaine's day Of reckoning draws nigh.
She must speedily restore order, relieve
the suffering, take the shackles from
commerce, and give protection to prop
erty, or the United States government
will be forced to pursue Its policy OF
Intervention. Spain has failed 50 mis-
erably In the past, and her arm is so

she can now move with sufficient rap

have never been realized. Mr.. Keeley is
now growing old. He is past co, and his
motor has been before the public since
1872 At least it was in that year that he
announced his discovery of new force,
and the motor itself was put on public eX-
hibition in 1874. Capitalists who saw ii
were so impressed with it that $1,000 was
rased to enable him to proceed. Since then
nearly $4,000 has been expended in expert
ments. but without tangible results. In
1888 Mr.. Kelley was confined In Jail for

FROM THE LIVE Town OF ENID
Fine Batch of Newsy Notes With Pros
perity's Wiring to Them.

| Enid, O. T, Feb. 11.-Court will con-
vene at Enid next Monday, February Is
and the petit jury has been summoned
| for february 90. The number of cases
on the docket is not so large as at other
| sessions of the district court.
A very large majority of citizens OF
| Enid are hoping that Dennis Flynn will
| be appointed governor of Oklahoma, the
| universal feeling being that the efficient
congressman for four years past would
be the best equipped man for governor.
FlyTn's friends are not confined to the
Republican party but embrace all DEM
ocratS and Populists.
In consequence of the very favorable
prospects for wheat the citizens of Enid
nave organized two milling companies
and two hundred-barrel mills will be
built at Enid this spring. For the past
ten days committee of business men
have been soliciting stock for a joint
stock mill, to be built and managed by
w. S. Smith. On Wednesday McCristy
Il Treasa announced their intention of
building hundred-barrel mill
From present prospects Enid will be
the scene of considerable building this
season. On the night of January fire
destroyed the frame building of Rogers
& Cannon in the principal block of the
city. This is being replaced by a fine
tE-o-story brick, and work is in progress
when the weather is favorable for laying
stone and brick. No less than nine 9TH
er lots are placed on the list of those
that will certainly be improved this sea-
son with brick buildings.
The most important question now dis
cussed in Enid is the question OF the 10
cation of territorial penitentiary and it
has been decided to secure this public
building for Enid if IL is possible. The
site decided upon is halfway between
the two stations and il is anticipated
that this will unite the two Ends in the
first common contest ever carried on for
any enterprise. This sensible and prac-
teal decision to secure unity of action
of the two communities that have vast
ed their resources in the past three years
lighting for supremacy may bring such
beneficial results to both that unity
might be decided upon to secure other
enterprises that would be mutually bene-
fetal.
Crop prospects at present outlook are
more f1attering in Garfield county than
at any time since the opening Of the
Cherokee strip. The acreage OF wheat
sown last fall is greater than ever be-
fore and the moist condition of the
ground from the amount of rain and
snow OF this winter insures a very, fav-
orable early spring. Farmers of both
Garfield and Woods county calculate TO
embark in cotton raising on a very eX-
tensive scale. Several cotton gins will
be built this spring in anticipation of a
large crop. one at Enid. one twenty miles
east, on Red Rock. and one twenty-five
miles west. at Ringwood. Woods county,
in which locality farmers have pledged
themselves 10 plant nearly 1000 acres Of

PRICE MOVEMENT FAvORABLE
Review of the Week February
8 To 10, Inclusive

| New York, Feb. Ii.-Bradstreets on Sat
| urday VIII say: The more favorable fee-
| lures OF the business week include sales OF
| 10000 tons OF steel rails on the breaking up
| OF the pool: the advance in the price OF
print cloths. following the sale of zoo
pieces from accumulated stocks. and the
! starting up OF a number Of important metal
and other industrial establishments through
out the eastern and middle states.
The recent reduction in the price of steel
billets of s. ton, while rails were reduced
only s. foreshadowed another cut In rail
prices or the breaking up OF the pool. The
| latter finds prices from s. to 50 lower than
last week. One effect will be 20 stimulate
exports OF rails from domestic pig iron
and for ore. There Is a moderate increase
in the demand for pig iron and purchases
have been made by St. Louis stove makers.
Activity is reported in hemlock leather. for
which the price is higher and American
purchases OF wool at the late London sale
amount to $500 bales, the heaviest total
at any one such sale since the speculative
buying there by Americans, due TO the go
ing into effect OF the Mckinley tariff. The
movement OF prices it, on the whole. IA
