started back as If he had been shot.
The boys wheeled around and stared.
Look" they shouted simultaneously,
and started after the dog.
A bare legged and swarthy Mexican
had emerged from one of the large hol-
lows worn by the sea in the bluff and
was running down across the sand
straight for the surf. They could see
that he had large sack in his hand.
Meanwhile fresh breeze had struck

The dog needed no urging. but

Fritz. "The thief has n hot barb In

With n cry of rage the fellow lifted

But the setter was too good bird
dog to wait for any command to swim
for It and bring 1t ashore, and 1t was
safe In his mouth before It could sink.
Hurrying to meet him. the boys
found their precious cockerels In the
sack, frightened half TO death and
their white plumes dripping. but not
beyond recovery of animation or fam
lily pride.
As for the thief, the boys cut the
barb out of Manuel's ankle, dressed
the wound, gave him back his substl-
tuted birds and sent him home VOW

THE EARTH.

With gathering years the earth has not grown
tame,
In mans firm clasp a mere imprisoned ball,
Though conqucring Feet have trodden nearly all.
And even the uncharted has received name;
There still loom heights deserving Of mans aim;
Forbidding isles still lie beyond his thrall:
Tho silent polar doors heed not his call,
And inmost trppic wiids he scarce dare claim.
Yet, when at last the globe is mastered quite,
And prying man has left no Inch unscannod,
lie still must pause before carth's moods of might
That lit the and toss the desert sand.
That set the dread volcanoes torch alight
And send strange tremors through the startled
land

"STOP THEFT"

1t is an old trick among the light
fingered fraternity to divert attention
from themselves by raising the cry of
stop thief" and so putting the public
OH false scent.
There Is a certain kind of advertiser
who Is expert In similar methods. One
Of his tricks Is TO tell women that it's
revolving" to write to a man i'll con-
sultation about disease. Women
should write to woman" The remain
der of the advertisement invites women
to write for advice, and is carefully
worded to convey the idea that the adj
vice offered is that of a physician. But
a close examination shows that there is
no physicians advice offered and the
whole clamor of "write TO a woman
is raised to divert attention from the fact
that the woman offering advice is not
DOCTOR and therefore not competent to
give medical advice

For the advice of an unqualified
woman Is Just as dangerous as the

Women who are sick can obtain medi-

CHICAGO'S LATEST MYSTERY
Mrs. Branch Found Murdered.
Strange Man in the Case.

Chicago, Nov, Mrs. ]. Rush Branch
was found dead last night in her apart
ments on the first floor of ZIG Forty
second street, with bullet in her head.
1t is believed the body had lain in the
fiat more than a week. Finger prints
and smeared bloodstains were found on
the wall beside the body and a revolver
with one chamber empty was lying on a
bed in Mrs Branch's room. Five weeks
ago Mrs Branch moved her handsome
furniture into the building. The woman
was alone, but she told the ianitor,
Frank Stromson, that her husband was
travelling salesman and was out of town.
She made no acquaintance in the build
ing. Upon several occasions a man
whom the janitor believed to be her hus-
band visited her. On Sunday morning,
October %. Mrs Branch called Stromson
in to fix gas jet. While the janitor was
a work a strange man sat with his back
to him in the front room, and neither
spoke nor turned his head. No one saw
this man leave the fiat. Mrs Branch
has never been seen by any of the
neighbors since that day. The daily pa
pers are piled on the back porch up to
and including that day. A number of let
ters were found in the apartments, some
of them indicating that she had been
leading a dual existence. At least half
of the missives were addressed to Mrs.
Mabel Downs" although she is said to
have been the recipient of them. In none
was the address of the writer given One
of the letters, written in Montreal, Octo-
Der "a, and which was unopened, was
signed Your husband"

FROM ENID OUT TO CARRIER
First Enid and TOnkawa Train Carried
an Excursion Tuesday

Enid, Q. T., Nov. 1.-The first passenger
train over the Enid and Tonkawa rail-
way was the excursion conducted by the
CARRIER Town company to CARRIER, the
second section out of Enid. The train
left Enid on October 81, at 1910 a. M,
with about go people, in charge of the
following crew: Conductor, J. W. Hall;
engineer, l. Moss; fireman, NJ Coffey;
brakemen, Frank Dover and ]. W. Babb.
The train was accompanied by the Enid
Cornet band, which discoursed excellent
music during the trip. During the day
the sale of lots in CARRIER amounted 10
about $1,000 making a total of about S13,-
coo received from the sale of lots. Hon.
c. H. Thompson had charge of the excur-
sion and. in his usual affable manner,
made everybody happy. Mrs. G. D.
Pekill secured a number of kodak views
OF the train and of the excursionists while
at CARRIER. The train left CARRIER at
o'clock and arrived at o'clock p. m, on
schedule time in the city of Enid, all be-
ing well pleased with the trip.

the following to say respecting Hon.
Dennis T. Flynn, under the caption
"Flynn's Anstake:"
HE may have made more than on.
His most serious mistake is in giving
it out that he will not be a candidate
Tor reelection. He said the same
thing few months ago. His sincerity
IN both cases cannot be fairly questioned
But the Republicans of Oklahoma have
soHlelhlhg TO say about this, and Mr..
flynq has no right to set himself IN az
dictator upon this point For the first
eglnt years OF Oklahoma's existence he
was candidate. He begged the people
Tor their support They gave it TO him.
AZ hrst with some misgivings. Since then.
they have stood by him unwaveringly.
Now, then, he is their servant. II is
MS business TO obey orders promptly and
without hesitation. When the people first
employed hint to represent them at Wash
lngton, he was a novice in the position.
lie mad energy, mental and physical vigor
ana ambition without experience or edu-
cation They paid him pretty big sal
airy. for an apprentice lie has now be-

TO the people has appreciated a hundred

be asked 10 10 so. IL Free Homes can

that, 50 long as Oklahoma is a territory.
that measure cannot receive the support
Of congress. And failure will. in no wise
5e an imputation upon the good faith.
the hard work and the loyalty of Mr.
Flynn. The Free Press has never been
sanguine Of the success Of that measure
and it not now. There has only been.
up to the present. one time when ii
could have received the support Of con-
gress and Of the administration. Unfor-
tunately that was the time just after
the create mistake was made Of which
The people have, 50 far been guilty.
We hope that Mr.. Flynns untiring
and majestic fight for Free Homes will
be crowned during the Fifty-sixth CON
Eress, with success. It is just and
righteous measure, and its final failure
would coayict the Republican party of
dishonesty in endorsing it, without
dissenting voice. in It's last national CON
vention
There is one great measure, however.
that is now within the reach Of Okla

sreater Importance at present than Free !
