my actions were too apparent to need
observing used to do it for her, but
after a mad humble bee chased me
through the pumpkin patch. where every
pumpkin resented my advent by upsetting
me and hitting me when down, and Sis
just a-standing there laughing at me
then it was that would be missing when
next I was wanted by her.
Well, that seemed just the thing then,
but when you're mad you don't want to
calculate what YOU may do when you get
glad, and next thing knew 1 was chas-
ing butterflies all over the farm! Sis
got the notion she'd collect butterflies and
she did-only, 1 did the collecting. She
kept me in perfect stew all the time for
I never could tell what time of day she'd
call Bob, here's a strange butterfly"
and I'd grab that net and go like one
possessed. 1 got so excited once, in the
race for one that 1 ran on to the old
pump, which is broken and the handle
always stays up. The handle hit me about
in the middle and just hung over it like
you hang clothes to dry. When 1 got
off, the butterfly was nowhere in sight,
but there was a queer feeling in the
region of my stomach and my head felt
ready to burst.
BY the time school commenced I had
learned lots of things and really felt
capable of irstructing any one about all
natural subjects.

Sis wouldn't get me mixed up with any
more Of her notions; and that very night,
along in the most unearthly part, Sis
came into my room and gave me such a
vigorous shake that 1 felt unjointed all
over and the awfullest feeling came over
me as she Kissed in my ear: Get up, BOD,
the stars are going TO fall soon" and
got up! The room was quite dark and L
was Just cropping for my coat and telling
her I'd rather wait thirty-three years and
see the next star-fall, when the room
commenced to grow lighter and Sis
yelled: Hurry, Bob we'll have to get
to that open space on Lawrence avenue
before they fall" And, grasping my
coat. we were soon running south in the
road. The sky kept growing lighter and
1 wanted to stop and look, but Sis pulled
my sleeve and we pushed on faster.
We struck the cinder walk and Sis
sobbed out: go, Bob! forgot my shoes!
but she kept on, and by the time we
reached the open space it was quite light
and we eagerly and fearfully turned our
eyes up in time to see-the big moon roll
out of a bank of clouds!
I was mad, and Sis nearly cried out
she soon cheered UP and we sat for two
hours on the Wichita and Western tracks
waiting for the stars to fall. We went
home much more slowly than we went
down there. A screech-owl was hooting
up on the top of the Reformed church
and Sis wouldn't go on that side Of the
street. but we reached home safe and
spent the balance of the night in bed.

IS TO BE ACTIVE IN POLITICS
Anti-SaIOOn League of Oklahoma Is
sues Hts Program.

| Guthrie, O. T, Nov. 1S.-The Anti-SaloOn
! league in Oklahoma intends to take
! hand in the selection of the next legisla-
ture. In the organization of the local
! anti-saloon leagues, three committees are
! appointed. The first is a committee on
| agitation, the second is a committee on
! the enforcement of the law, and the third
! is the committee on legislation. Instruc-
tions to the committe on legislation are
/ as follows:
This committee, if possible, should be
| made up of different political parties, See
/ to it, by all possible honest means, that
the proper men are put in nomination for
all offices. Give the public to understand
that we believe only men favoring temp
erance and the anti-saloon work, should
be nominated for any office, however
small or great that office may be. 1t is
high time that drinking. gambling, hcen-
tious men were kept from disgracing the
public by being in any public office. Sc
cure pledges from candidates before nom
ination if possible. pledges may be Sc
cured from territory headquarters. If
they will not pledge then work their de-
feat at nominating convention. or If nom
mated, do all possible to defeat ct the
polls. Keep the territory superintendent
notified of the temperance standing of
all. candidates and officials. This work
among the candidates and voters must
be done. Liquor has ruled long enough.
AS a league, we ask no question OF candi-
dates, but those referring to the temper
ance question, and we insist that all must
stand NJ and be counted on ihtoatoi
stand up and be counted on this ques-
ton.
See to it that people 90 not sign petit
tons for liquor licenses or bonds OF sa-
loonkeepers, and If they do so, make pub
lie this fact. Many a petition-signer
would not dare do so if he knew the pa
irons Of his business or his church and
home were to know it, These signatures
are public property; do not fail to make
them public in reality. Use every means
that is right, to win. We are in this war
70 stay until success and glorious victory
comes. We may not notice what the enc
my may DO to draw Us fro mour purpose,
but will so ahead with sinEleuess of pur-
pose that must mean success"

TO REMAIN IN THE PROCESSION
Germany VIII Have to Hitch Her
Wagon to the Lightning.

New York. Nov 1S.-A dispatch TO the
Herald from Berlin says: The Tageblatt
prints an interview with Privy Councillor
Loewe, who was the German delegate at
the Philadelphia trade congress, on the
impressions he gained during his visit.
Herr Loewe found the economic condI
ton of the United States most Furnishing,
especially in the marvellous development
Of electrical industry, and the Americans
far ahead of Europeans in the use Of cleo
tricity as a substitute for human labor.
Al natural forces, he says, have been
made use of for the producing Of electric
forces. the greatest being the Niagara
Falls. Electric tramways and railways
are far ahead of those in Europe. Herr
Loewe is convinced that If Germany does
not want to be LETT behind in competi-
ton for the worlds trade she must make
a better use Of electricity.

RUM0R OF NEW RAILWAY LINE
Santa Fe May be Built Out of Guthrie
Southeast.

Guthrie. o. r., Nov. 1S-Jack Mulhall,
livestock agent for the Frsico, is author
ity for the rumor that the Santa Fe is
investigating the matter Of building a
branch southwest from Guthrie to a point
on the Frisco near Chandler and on down
into the coal fields of Oklahoma, probab-
ly to some point on the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas. If there were any question
of Guthrie's railroad supremacy in Ok
lahoma the building of this line would
settle it. For it is now fairly well deter
mined that line is to come across from
saltwater. This will bring the traffic
from a big northwest territory and the
line southeast to the Frisco would swing
to Guthrie big lot of the trade and trav-
ell of the southeast country that now goes
over the Choctaw to Oklahoma City.

Henry Inman. AS a youth knew him

kindness of his nature, when compared
with the coarse, half-educated and i'll
bred Adventures who swarmed into our
army then as officers-a legacy Of the
civil war-made the time all too short
with Major Inman
I never read his book and am not ac-
quainted with his army record before the
civil war, except from stories of the Old
veterans. From this information 1 have
it that he was a native of Maine: and
that he received his commission as every
army officer, then and now, should only
receive one. after serving as private and
non-commissioned officer in the army of
this re9ublic.
OF all the officers Of the army whose
conduct towards their subordinates l have
heard discussed, Henry Inman was the
only one who escaped even the criticism
of the most frivolous grumbler. He i'm

recalled that, at the time, l considered
Major Inman and all of his class as sadly
out of place in an army that congress in
its passionate ignorance had demoralized.
And 50 il proved. at least in his case.
May the provisions of eternity deal with
his spirit as gently as he dealt with those
he commanded in this life, is the wish of

George Issacs Works About the
SIickest Forgery on Record.

Guthrie, o. T., Nov. 1S.-The smoothest
criminal in the United States is supposed
to be at large at the present time in
either the Indian Territory or Oklahoma.
This IS George Isaacs. The Norman
Transcript says: United States officers
and officers from Texas have been here
the past week on the trail of Nate Silvey
and George Isaacs, wha are said to be
in this locality, probably over in the
Chiekasaw nation. AS far as known,
they are not together. The deputy mar
shals are looking for Silvey, while the
Texas officers search for Isaacs. Isaacs
is noted criminal, who was serving a
term IN the penitentiary. In some man
ner his friends secured a blank pardon,
and filled it out with Isaacs' name, forg-
ing Governor Savers name to it. It ar
rived at the penitentiary through the
mail, and saacs was released-and the
fraud was not discovered for several
weeks. A reward of $1,000 has been Of
fered for his capture. He has rich rela-
tives at Chickasha, and was known to
be there last week. Silvey is a desperate
of the Bill Dalton stripe, and is wanted
for train robbery and murder. He recent
ly escaped from the Washita county jail.
