These travelling base ball fellows

A good many persons got out on

The visitors wore the uniforms
of Ferd Helm, the Kansas City

did they represent the brewer
not even in circumference. Very
strangely, some of them needed
introductions to one another; and
by the way, it must have been
the Parsons "second nine" that
was here last time, for there is
only one of the present club who
was here then. But then, several

THE BEST
THING OUT

An aching tooth unless it can be
saved, then how to have 1t out with
out pain; call on Dr. Irvine, Wes-
y tern Hotel. How to avoid pain is
tie greatest problem Of life.
Voice OF the teeth, You must ed.
ucate or we perish.
A pleasant smile may be marred Dy
discolored and decayed teeth. 20
TO DR.. Irvine and have your teeth
cleaned. There Is no better test OF
refinement than a clean well cared
for mouth. Good digestion waits on
appetite, and health on both, and
a require good teeth.
Tartar on the teeth causes an abs0rp-
tion Of the gums. Toothache, the
tormenter OF the race, Is but the
penalty OF violated law. Nature
never pardons. She may reprieve.
Consult DR.. Irvine at once; never
part with tooth that can be made
serviceable any more than you
would permit surgeon to ampu-
tate finger that has a felon on 1T.

vINlTA's GREATEST PRODUCT
Weeds On Every Side And In
Profusi0n.

Vinita has produced an abund.
ant yield of beautiful and most
luxuriant weeds this season. All
our four hundred vacant lots, and
many of our alleys, and along the
side streets, are covered with a
redundant growth of jimpsons, and
cuckle- burs, and Oklahoma thisties
and various other beautiful and
noxious plants. The town in some
secti6as, - ike huge herbar-
ium. When the burs are ripe
along the streets they will
catch and cling lovingly to
the hose of the happy troops
OF glad and gleesome passers-by,
and nestle in the flowing tail Of the
gentle family horse. Now that
the rains have come and the earth
is moist, they will grow with even
greater luxuriance than before.
The thick weed patch is thing Of
beauty; it affords a home for the
lightning bug and the gentle snake.

driven from the root when she

A Missourian regards Kansan
as harmless lunatic; . Kansan
regards Missourian as an ignor-
anus, and an Arkansawyer as .
more ignorant ignoramus than the
Missourian. The Arkansawyer
agrees with the rest of the country
that the Kansan is a lunatic. The
Texan thinks the Kansan a dam
rascal and the Kansan thinks the
Texan a highway robber. The
Texan does not credit the Missouri
ian or tie Arkansawyer with
surplus Of intelligence, and these
latter have an idea that the Texan
is slightly off. Texas, Arkansas,
Missouri and Kansas are guyed
and hooted by the rest Of the
Union and they guy and boot each
other. They ought to stand to-
gether. Indian Territory and
Oklahoma, whose population is
largely of former residents of those
four states, should set them an
example. 1t is an interesting

ODD WEDDING RULES.
Characteristic Customs That Prevail
at Marriages in Norway, Sweden
and Siberia

Every country has its own particular
regulations and ceremonies regarding
matrimony. Wedding presents in Nor
way are not of the expensive but useless
kind that they are with us. They con-
sist of such things as pots and pans,
plates and dishes, feather bed, half a
dozen sheep, sack of potatoes, and SO
forth. Sir G. w. Dasent says that the
Norwegians, in reference to marriage,
as to other matters, put their best foot
foremost and try to make the most of
things generally. A lad went out to
WOO u wife. Among other places he
came to a farmhouse, where the peo-
pie were very poor, but they wanted
to make him think that they were we'll
to-do. Now, the father had got a new
arm to his coat. pray, take a seat"
he said to the wooer, but there's
shocking dust in the house." So he
went about wiping all the benches and
tables with his new coat sleeve. bu:
he kept the other behind his back. The
wife had one shoe much better than the
other and she went stamping and slid
ing with it up against the stools and
CnulIS, say lON IL 10 iSAS3
everything is out of its place!" Then
they called out their daughter to come
and put things to rights, but she had
got new cap, so she put her head
in at the door and kept nodding and
nodding, first to this side and then to
that. "Well, for my part" she said, Il
can't be everywhere at once" In this
way the wooer was led to believe that
he had come to a well-to-do household.
Many superstitions prevail in Sweden
with regard to marriage. 1t is said that
if girl be fond of cats she will not
be an old maid, as we should say, but
have bright day for her wedding. The
Swedish bride sometimes wears n coro-
net of myrtle, or, when that is not
procurable, of colored paper. Here, as
in Norway and other countries of north
ern Europe, there is too much eating
and far too rauch drinking at weddings.
In Sweden the repasts on these occa-
sions continue for hours. When asked
TO take your place at the table it is
considered polite to make as stout a
resistance as possible. During the re-
past collection is made for the bride
and sometimes also for the poor of the
parish. In Siberia there is good GUS
tom that a bride on coming to her hus-
bands house has to give dinner pre-
pared with her own hands as test of
the education she has received. If she
succeeds in gratifying her guests it is
taken as a proof, not only of the young
womans own. excellence, but also as a
recommendation of her whole family,
by whom she was instructed 50 use
fully.
