A Preachers Impressions.

Rev. S. I. Hudson, the minister
recently called by the Baptist
church of this city as its pastor,
writes the Central Baptist, St.
Louis, in part as follows:
Ny first visit to the territory is
made in winter, the most unfavor-
able time to see a new country;
yet if spring and summer, as they
always do. follow with increased
beauty and loveliness, this cer-
tainly is one of the Lords favored
countries. And if the treaty agreed
upon between the Dawes commits
sion and the Cherokee commission
is ratified, as it is believed it will
be, there will be nothing in the
way of its rapid development.
Since coming here l have had
rare opportunities for forming cor
rect conclusions. 1t is United
States court. In the hotel meet
representative men from all Sec
tions of the district, Jurors, grand
jurors and witnesses and they are
equal to any body of men l ever
met in proud old Missouri, on such
occasions. And the rigidity with
which the LAWS against crime are
enforced has no parallel in our
state courts.
The whiskey-seller stands a
poor show to evade the law here.
Il can neither be sold nor given
away, and if one is caught at it he
pays the forfeit.
| have been here two weeks dur
ing which time the town has been
full of people and | have not seen
a drunk man, The picture that
one draws of the Indians and
mixed bloOds and the Babel OF
confusion, before he comes here is
not to be realized. A more intelli-
gent, refined, w-abidiDg, thrifty
warm hearted, social people
have never found.

A Snrinp Poem.

Let US gather up the billiards
As they howl asound our path;
Let US keep this zero weather
Packed in sawdust. straw and chaf.
And we shall find sweet comfort
When August zephyrs blow
And the sons OF Adam sigh again
For the days Of ice and snow.
CHORUS.
Then salt down billiards frozen;
Then pack ice by the dozen.
We will need them shore as pizen"
For our comfort by and by.

YOU CAN TELL

A chickens age by the
teeth-your teeth, not the
chickens. That's if your
teeth are in good condition;
if not have them cleaned,
the cavities filled and the
old roots crowned. Cleanli-
ness is next to Goodness and
he who expects to wear a So
gold crown here or hereafter
should heed this warning:
you do not waste money on
your teeth if the work is
done right; if not, you soon
know it and so does everyone
else; work speaks tor itself.
Call at my Office and l will
give you a book on the care
of the teeth and the names
of 800 people in Vinita and
surrounding country. They
will testify to the work l
turn out. Most of these
people you know; they were
all strangers to me before
they came to my office. They
include judges, ministers,
doctors and lawyers.

MANUFACTURE OF PERFUMES.
A Leading Industry of Southern
France for Many Years,

The memory Of man does not reach
back to the time when the perfume
industry was not leading one in
southern France, but few people un.
derstand anything of the details of the
business or what n vast number of
flowers is required to make few drops
of the most delicate and valuable per-
fumes. The government, in its ad-
vance sheets of consular reports, gives
an extract from the Revue de Stats.
tique which presents some curious and
interesting facts concerning the per-
fume Industry.
In the department of the Maritime
Alps in southern France the quantity
OF blossoms required annually for the
manufacture of perfumes, oils. etc., is:
OF roses, 100000 pounds; of orange
blossoms, 5,511, 500 pounds; of jessa.
mine, 440,920 pounds; of cassia bios
SONS, 330,690 pounds; of tuberoses
330,600 pounds, and of violets, 44O,92C
pounds. These blossoms are sold by
the kilogram (2.2046 pounds) and the
prices paid are so astonishingly low as
to raise smile of disgust upon the face
of an ordinary flower dealer.
The violets and cassia bring 4 francs
07.2 cents per kilogram; tuberoses
francs (961a cents); jessamine 2h
francs (4S.2 cents; roses 65 centimes
Q25 cents; orange blossoms 70 cen
times 03.5 cents,. The pickers Of tht
