The First rIeetlng.

Miss Carrie Goodykoontzs card par
ty last evening, the first meeting of
the new drive whist club, was very
pleasing incident in our social circle.
Whist was INDUCED in, four tables
being filed. The hourof saying good
by was very timely one, and it is
capital idea that such should be the
case, as most Of our people live very
busy lives. The refreshments con-
sisted of salad, chocolate and cake
and if there is one accomplishment
possessed by "Miss Carrie" more pro-
nounced than another, it is that of
baking cakes. Those present, in adj
dition to the members Of the house
hold were Mrs. George Blakeney, Mrs.
Milford, Misses Nell and Fan Byrd,
Clarence Ashbrook, Mabel Miller,
Grace Fortnes, MessrS. n. L. Ryder,
J. Il. Sheehan, D. II. Wilson, j. ii,
Butler, Tom Byrd, Wilton Ratcliif,
ST., E. M. Skinner, NJ. +. Milford.
The club is composed of Mr.. and Mrs.
]. C. Anderson, Mr.. and Mrs. r, i.
Blakeney, Mr.. and Mrs. Milford, Dr.
and Mrs. Bell, Mr.. and Mrs. l.. h,
Parker, Mrs. George Blakeney, Miss
Grace Fortner, Miss Nell Byrd, Miss
Fan Byrd, Miss Ashbrook, Miss Carrie
Fayant, and Miss Carrie Goodykoontz'
The next meeting will be held with

Mrs. Harlin Dead.

John Harlin received dispatch
this morning announcing the death OF
his mother at the family home on
Cowskin prairie, three miles this side
of Southwest City. Miss lone Harlin,
at Chelsea, was notified and came in
on the local, and with her two broth
ers left for their home at once by
carriage. The deceased was relative
of one of the largest Cherokee fami-
lies and her death will be mourned
far beyond the confines OF this nation.
There was no information that the
lady was sick.

Greatest Gain Yet.

Some time ago we published an ac-
count of steer belonging to George
Nidlffer that gained 81! pounds in q
days. Matt Hawkins thinks he can
beat that. On the 10th of last month
a steer belonging to him weighed $50
pounds and on the 23rd its weight had
increased to 1910 pounds. A net gain
of so lbs in days.

On January 9Th. 1900,
A winters day so warm and fine,
We climbed sunny, far hill side

Then the president asked the society
To begin by singing No. 1853
The scripture lesson then came next.
With Isaiah Chapter AZ for the text.
And then the president sweetly prayed
For Gods own blessing on the Aid
Then we sang another song,
And roll call was answered good and strong.
The minutes OF the last meeting day,
Then we're read by Mrs. OShea.
= And dues we're paid amounting in ALL
To 81 1.S0-a sum quite small.
But we shouldn't be surprised at that
AS Christmas just past, had left us mat
And there isn't the slightest need to fret
For the dues will be paid with interest yet
Mrs. Ray oborn then did read
selection which 1t was well to heed.
In a manner most pleasing and concise
She read, How we Came TO Organize"
And after singing number $50,
Refreshments were served which were dainty
Misses Duncan, Daniels and Mars gave sat
isfaction when they served the chocolate.
On casting bread upon the water.
And the reward will sure come hereafter
Mite boxes were given each one at pleasure
To be taken home and filed at leisure.
And then as the closing hour drew Nigh
We sang verse of "Blest be the Tie "
And the sinking sun so low in the west,
Reminded US that to depart was best.
So home we went with memories sweet,
Next month with Mrs. Miller to meet.

ment Of the Republicans of Mercer in
sustaining Governor Stones admins
tration and in indorsing the action Of
their representative who voted for the
Republican candidate for United States
senator.
1t is queer how the Insurgents have
had the notion that they really have
represented a considerable section of
the Republican party. Now that they
have leisure to look around they will
not be long in ascertaining what .
blunder they have made.
Men who have used their influence
at Harrisburg to wreck the Republican
party certainly have no claim upon the
party. They did not succeed In wreck
ing the party, but they have succeeded
In making political wrecks of them
selves, and the party will do we'll to
permit them to remain under the
wreckage.
That is apparently what the RepUbli-
cans of Pennsylvania are going to do.
THE GOVERNOR AT WORK.
Governor Stone is still hard at work
upon the bills which were passed by
the last legislature and which were
left for him to act upon. He has shown
courage and discriminating considera-
ton of these important matters by
welding his veto AK with effect in
knocking out a number of objection
able bills that were allowed to go
through the legislative mill during the
closing hours of the session. The legis-
lature was not unusually prolific in
turning out new laws, although there
were a large number of bills of
purely local character that got through.

A MIGHTY HARD PROBLEM.
The One Of InventinE IL Bottle That
Can't BE ReHIIed.

81 read a little interview not long
ago" said New Orleans grocer,
with a man who purported to give
some particulars concerning the much
talked of nonrefillable bottle problem.
He said, among other things, that there
was a standing reward of SO. 600 for
practical solution, and l had to smile
to note how a fable, once set adrift is
continually vitalized by repetition. l
happen to know something about the
bottle question, and | can state posi-
lively and authoritatively that there
has never been q reward of $40, 600 or
any other amount for such a device.
1.-The impression probably originated
with a circular that was prepared years
ago by convention of northern distill-
ers. 1t was designed for the informa-
tion of inventors and stated briefly and
clearly just what was essential to a
practical nonrefillable bottle what the
working part should be made of, what
tests it should be able to sustain, what
it should cost in quantity, and SO on. l
doubt whether there is now copy of
that circular in existence, but it I'M
questionably gave rise to the story that
the whisky men of the country were
hot after bottle that couldn't be re-
filled and had offered an enormous re-
ward for the same.
"The Lord only knows how many
lives have been wrecked by that yarn.
Next to perpetual motion it has been
the great asylum feeder of the mechan
ical world The problem looks easy
enough on the surface and upward of
80 patents have been taken out on diff
ferent devices but none of them works
under all conditions. The favorite
scheme is ball valve which would be
closed automatically by pressure from
above but it is readily worked by
wire or an air pump.
"At first the liquor men and makers
of proprietary remedies that were
largely counterfeited encouraged invest
ors in the line, but after repeated fail
ures they finally came to the conclusion
that the thing couldn't be done and
have given it up altogether. Neverthe-
less the cranks still persevere, and every
now and then one reads of new bot
tie that works like a charm. But you
never see them on the shelves, and
make bold to say you never will -

Those Who Engage In 1t Grow Inca
pabIe of Stendfast, Enduring Love.
"In Irritation there is the same dis
sipated element of excitement so be-
guiling in gambling-uncertain
fact we might add to the dictionary
definition still later one, ITO firt,
gambling in hearts, writes Frances
Evans, about Men. in The Ladies'
Home Journal.
"The hirt, like the gambler, feeds
upon the intoxication of his passions
In few years he becomes incapable of
steadfast, enduring love, that feeling
which in civilized man is separated
from the love of the barbarian by the
element of ideality, of spiritual sympa-
thy as distinct from merely the attrac-
tion of brute nature. The open minded,
open souled, manly man is apt to ex
press himself in abrupt praise of what
he likes, but the firt knows better than
to take the edge off of compliment by
giving it publicity. The firt is invaria
bly, confidential in his manner. A firt
becomes unscrupulous in his relations
with women, no matter how high a
code of honor he may abide by in other
matters. His conscience is calloused en-
one side beyond remedy. There is no
germ which develops more rapidly than
the f1irtatious bacteria.
Given a young man or woman whose
pride is wounded more deeply than his
or her love by member of the opposite
sex, then, if there be a slight hirtat tious
tendency to begin with, it will be but
overnight before the weed has grown
to surprising proportions, choking out
conscience and kindness while it sup
ports and strengthens vanity, which
stands close by wounded affections in
the human heart"
