conditions, and as this golden age is
sure to continue so long as the party
of Lincoln and Grant and McKin-
ley remains in power, we fear we
can not much longer withstand the
earnest entreaties of our multifari-
GUS subscribers, who, like ourself,
have grown opulent though munifi-
cent, and who insist on paying us
the amount we consider our publica-
ton worth. And should they arise
as one man and in thunder tones
demand that we accept full value,
we tremble to think that we might
through sheer paucity of numbers be
compelled to submit.

1t is the same old story. Men are
prone to be humbugged, even as the
sparks are to fly upward. 1t always
has been so. We suppose it always
will be so until the angel standing
with one foot on the sea and the 9TH
er on the land, shall announce that
time shall be no more.
This tendency to be humbugged is
not confined to any one class or con-
dition of life. The unsophisticated
youth whose locks are cut bias with
the sheep shears, by his paternal an
cestor, and on whose neck the pale
hair grows untrimmed, is taken In by
the old snipe game, but his city
brother, who thinks he is lot smart

that is just as rank.
The travelling fakir talks the open
mouthed crowd about him into spend

colored water that he claims is med
icine that will cure all sorts of dis
eases that ever did exist in addition
to number that never did. The
man with capital laughs at the people
who patronize the fakir and then
proceeds to blow in his money on the
board of trade or invests it in water
ed stocks on the representations of
some smooth tongued promoter.

SAME OLD THING.

One would naturally suppose that
with the accumulated experience OF
almost countless generations OF men
the old frauds and old sells wouldn't
20 in the close of the nineteenth cen
fury.
This seems to be false assumption
People are worked now just as theiT
fathers were worked.
The same old gags go now that went
when Columbus was barefooted kid
in Genoa. People listen to fakirs now
even as they did generations before
Romulus and Remus extracted susie
nance from the mammilla of the wolf
on the banks OF the Tiber. Jobs are
put up on confiding jays, even as they
were put up on coDfiding jays before
the time Of Abraham.
We are led to make these observa-
tions by seeing in one of our ex-
changes that only last week Kansas
boy was induced by some companions
to 90 out in the night time and stand
at the end OF the culvert holding a
gunny sack while the rest OF the
crowd were out supposedly FOR the
purpose of driving in the spipe which
the guileless young man was to gather
in the sack when they came.
That gag had its origin in the days
of mythology before authentic history
began. We have no sort of doubt
that Methuselah helped work IT On
some unsuspecting jay in the days of
! his Joyous and careless youth, hun
dreds of years before his grandson be-
gan to figure on the amount of timber
that would be necessary to build the
ark. 1t has survived the flood. the
destruction of Ninevah and the fall
of Babylon. 1t was current among
the Roman youth before Hannibal
marched over the Alps. 1t is joke
that was ancient before the time
when Virgil issued his first volume of
farm ballads, or Horace in poetic
measures had smeared the Emperor
Augustus with verbal glucose in or
der that he might hold his job
Still the sell comes trotting down
| the centuries with unimpared vigor.
Each generation produces about the
same number of young men who can
be induced to 60 out in the dark night
and stand in some swampy place
where the mosquitoes can feed on
them and hold sacks and candles,
cheered and encouraged through the
lonesome hours by the belief that
they will get their sacks full of fat
snipe by and by.
In another of our exchanges is ar
account Of whole crowd of suckers
who gave up their good money in ex
change for brass pens that were sole
by travelling fakir on the street fol
a dollar apiece. They could have
bought better pens from almost any
retail dealer for ten cents each, bu

were in Enid Friday, which is not
considered the busy day of the week,
yet we were astonished to see the
throngs of people on every street dur
ing the business part of the day.
Enid has grown to be quite a populous
city. 1t is built around q very large
SQUARE which contains the land office
building, post-office, court and jail
1t is aow the busiest and best town in
Oklahoma on the Rock Island road,
Property is high and rents enormous,
yet everybody seems happy and pros
porous.
We left Enid Saturday morning with
many regrets and went on down the
road to Kingfisher, which is good
town, we'll built and prosperous.
Kingfisher is an older town than END,
being in Old Oklahoma, but it has
been outstripped by its energetic
rival in recent growth and improve
ment. Kingfsher contains many good
brick business houses, good schools
and churches, and is a prosperous
town, surrounded by a large tributary
country.
We are still in Kingfisher, and may
become so smitten with some OF the
souaws on the street that we may
conclude to stay. This whole country
along the Rock Island seems to be
| ia a prosperous condition. Crops were
fairly good the past year, and the peo-
pie are happy and contented. Their
vote this fall showed that. We have
heard but one man who was Inclined
to complain, and he did not have it
very bad. He was little afraid that
the Philippines would not be worth
much to us, and kicked because the
farmers would not hold their wheat
and get more money for it. 1t is need
less to say he is Populist, and one OF
the commissioners of Kingfisher-co.
We noticed large piles of corn lying
ON the ground at almost every station
and saw strings of wagons loaded
with wheat, between showers. There
is a large acreage Of wheat out and the
continued warm rains of the last two
weeks have put 1t in splendid shape
There il so much wheat and alfalfa
and it looks so wonderfully green thai
it seems like spring.
Land is held higher through thi
country than around Chanute, OUTSIDE
of the bottom. We find an average
quarter five or six miles from tow
with an old shack and probably sol
or baled hay stable is held at abou
$4,000. and from what we can find GU
the actual settlers don't want to sci
at any reasonable price. If this coun
try continues to prosper a few NOR
years as it has the past two, 1T will b
a wealthy, well-improved community
1t was settled mainly by poor men
but is inhabited now by happy an
prosperous people, satisfied with thei
condition and prospects. They ar
working to build themselves house
, and t. carve out State from wha
but a few years ago was but will
and unInhabited country.
1t seems marvellous to contemplat
the rapid strides that have been mad
here. A few more years and Okla
homa will be one of the best and mos
, progressive States in the Union; he
, climate and her soil demand it, an
! her people will so make 1t.

Eve In Pawn.

A business man from Baltimore found
himself in a peculiar predicament the other
day. He visited New York about once a
month. He sleeps with his glass eye in a
tumbler, and there a friend found it one
morning. The sight suggested practical
joke-put the eye in Mr.. KS overcoat pocket,
Done! When the friend departed, being
short of money for the moment, he pawned
his own overcoat for $40. In the afternoon
there came an urgent telegram from Mr..
X, who had been unable to leave his room
on account of the missing eye, and whose
frame of mind was all distorted and warped.
The friend frankly confessed "Bll, l meant
it only as simple joke. You will find your
eye in your overcoat pocket" But it was
not there. at must be, because / put 1t
there myself" urged the joker. The coat
was held up by the tail and shaken. by
thunder! | woader if | could have put it in
my own coat?" where's your coat?" 1--WE
pawned it; ! didn't want to borrow and
needed few dollars" "How much is it
in for?" "Ten dollars" Mr.. X prod iced
$40 and the coat was released. The eye
was in the inside opcket. He carefully
washed it, slipped it into place and walked
out after twelve hours of solitary confine-
ment
