The sayin that u practical and sue
cessful business lnau makes good
lawmaker or public official Of any kind
has been strongly proven by the career
II Representative Gault in Oklahoma.
A business man all his life Mr.. Gault
brought with him into the delibera
tions and transactions of the house
business methods and business judg-
meut, and the bills he has fathered and
pushed are measures TO facilitate the
public business, truly economize ex-
penses and better the public credit in
every way. Some years later Mr.. Gault I
went 70 El Dorado, Kansas, where he
was a prominent citizen fifteen years
aud for one term mayor of the city.
he came TO Oklahoma at the open
ing, settling at Oklahoma City, where
he is a prominent lumber dealer. He
vas elected first mayor Of the city un-
der the organic act in August, 1890, and
ia the spring OF 1891 was re ele-ted.
lie has also served four years upon the
city school board and without any
solicitation on his part was nominated
and elected as representative from the
Eleventh district Mr. Gault has al
ways been an earnest and consistent
Democrat, believes in a government
for the most good 10 the most people
and has upon every occasion in the
house cast his vote along that line
While standing for the right Of all the
people. he has in a special way looked
after the Interests Of the people in the
city and his constituents certainly have
20 cause 20 regret their choice in elect

Wednesday Marked the Beginning Of a
Forty DAYS Rest

NNNNN HoN ANNnh
Wednesday was Ash Wednesday, and
marked the beginning Of Lent AT the
end Of the forty days' fast comes
Easter. Those who observe Lent Will
be obliged to fight shy OF functions
and whatnot
The observance OF Lent is rs old a.
Christianity, but there was in early
times some uncertainty as to the length
Of the fast At leng,A Pope Gregory
the Great $500, directed that the sixth
Sunday before Easter, and that all the
intervening week days should be fast
days. As this, however, only gave
thirty six such days, the last four days
OF the preceding week were added,
either by that Pope or by Gregory 1,
t7l5l. The solemn fast then began on
Ash Wednesday, which was thence
forward called the beginning Of the
fast
All Catholics and members Of the
Episcopal church will observe Lent,
In the United States the use OF flesh
meat by Roman Catholics is allowed
several times a week, in accordance
with the requests made by each bishop
for his diocese. But fish and flesh are
never allowed during Lent at the same
meal. In nearly all the Protestant
churches OF continental Europe, par
ticularly in the Lutheran church, Cent
is still a penitential season The
church OF England still keeps the Len
ten fast on its calendar with appropri-
ate services, as does the Protestant
Episcopal church.

a HOLIDAY SONG.

A little way from Workaday,
Down the small slope Of mild desire,
There swings . gate TO bar the way
With roses and swectbrier,
While you and /, when time il ripe,
Upon its fragrant threshold stan
And look across the harvest fields
In fruitful Leisureland.
In Leisureland the breath, like balm,
Sighs from the moist lips easily.
Tho oyes shine clolr; the brow is calm:
The heart beats full and free;
There is no sound Of fret nor strife,
OF urging call nor harsh command.
Cnc drinks q fresh, sweet draft OF life
In blessed Leisureland.
The birds sing soft; the cushats COO;
The breeze just whispers to the flowers,
Deep lined with autumn as they fade,
To mark the peaceful hours;
The dancing broolllets wider sweep,
All voiceless where the blue flags stand,
Rocking the drowsy bees to sleep
In restful Leisureland.
Then come while harvest moon is full,
Sweetheart, alown tn aloping way
Ana whisper secrets to rly soul
Too dear for common day.
A little space for thee and me,
Which, heart to heart and hand in hand
Apart from weary WorlSaday
Won spend il Lois ireland.
