The Heart of the Tree
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants a friend of sun and sky;
He plants the flag of breezes free;
The shaft of beauty towering high;
He plants a home to heaven anigh
For song and mother-croon of bird
In hushed and happy twilight heard
The treble of heavens harmony
These things he plants who plants a tree
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants cool shade and tender rain.
And seed and bud of days to be-
And years that fade and flush again;
He plants the glory Of the plain;
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of the coming age;
The joy that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants who plants tree.
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants, in sap and leaves and wood,
In love of home and loyalty,
And far-cast thought of civil good
His blessing on the neighborhood
Who in the hollow of his hand
Holds all the growth of all our land
A nations growth from sea to sea,
Stins in his heart who plants a tree.
The Century.

NOTES or THE GAME
CONTEST AGAINST BRODBOLL
Threats OF Proceedings In the First
Senatorial District.


Guthrie. Q. T., Nov. Ex-senator Hans
c. R. Brodbon Of Ponca City came to
Guthrie at noon today and learned for
the first time that definite steps were to
be taken to contest his election to the
legislature from the First council dis
trict- Although this information came
to him very much in the nature of sur
prise Senator Brodbon expresses no ap-
parent concern over the outcome of a
contest if one is instituted. "It is doubt
less true" he said, that mutilated bal
lots were thrown out in Kay county, but
in this respect It IS estimated that both
Of the parties suffered about equally.
Moreover, it VIII be difficult TO allege that
the mutlated ballots were thrown out
through collision or fraud, inasmuch as
the county board Of commissioners and
the inspectors Of election, their ap-
pointees, were Of the Democratic faith"
A dispatch to the Evening Leader Of
this city contains the first definite an
nouncement Of the proposed contest in
the First district in the following terms:
Late developments in Kay county
have brought to light election frauds OF
a glazing nature. It develops that ballots
were cast out by Republican boards in
every township that were declared ''mu-
tilated' simply because they did not bear
the stamp of Republicanism. Hon. S. H
McGinnis, the Democratic nominee for
council in this district was beaten by
very few votes and a counting Of all the
ballots would elect him by a good ma
GRITTY, as well as two OF three county
officers. The friends Of Capt McGinnis
have insisted that the contest BrodbolTs
seat in the council and the evidence and
proofs are already now procured and a
contest will be vigorously prosecuted.
