uel j.. Overstreet former United states
attorney for Oklahoma. Mr. over
street, as vice chairman of the Repub-
lican congressional campaign committee,
took an active part in the campaign just
closed and naturally feel elated over the
tremendous victory which gives the Re-
pubhcans complete control Of the admin
istration. In the Seventh district his ma
jority was something over 40o0 which is
double the majority given him two years
ago. The remarkable result in Indiana,
Mr.. Overstreet says, was due largely to
the labor and silent vote, which was al
most wholly given to the Republican
ticket. On the other hand, the farmer
vote, upon which the Republicans relied
for heavy gains, was a decided dis2p-
poinment number Of districts which
went for Mckinley four years ago, Civ
ing a majority for Bryan this year The
Gold Democrats too, remained almost
solidly with the Republicans this year,
which he says was a considerable factor
in the general result.
Mr.. Overstreet expressed unfeigned
surprise at the compare ticeIy small ma
jority given Dennis Flynn, as it was
generally regarded in Washington that
his successful effort in securing the pas
sage Of the free homes bill would insure
the popular delegates return to congress
by not less than o2,ooo majority.

 and Unattended in a Box Gar.

Late Sunday evening a white man was found in CottoD Belt box car at Jonesboro in a very critical con- dition. He was unconscious and died before he could tell of his people or his name.

ORIGIN of .Under the Rose"


In Greek mythology the rose was the
symbol Of silence as it was said that
Cupid, the son Of Venus. gave the god Of
silence a golden rose as bride to con-
ceal the amours Of the goddess of love.
1t was, therefore, sculptured on the
ceilings of banqueting halls and placed
as a sign above the doors of question
able resorts. Guests at feasts were
crowned with roses to intimate that
their conversations while in their cups
were not to be repeated elsewhere.
The phrase obtained currency in
Greece after Pausanias, the admiral of
the Greek feet. plotted with Xerxes to
betray the cause of the Greeks by sur
rendering the ships, the negotiations
being conducted in a small banQueting
hall, the roof of which was, as usual,
covered with sculptured roses. The
plot, however, was discovered and Or
ders given for the arrest of the traitor.
Pausanias endeavored to make his ref
uge in a temple which possessed the
right Of asylum. Unwilling to violate
the sanctity Of the place by forcibly
removing him and still more unwilling
to allow him to escape, his fellow citi-
Zens walled up every entrance and,
by one account. left him to die Of star
vation; by another, killed him by un-
roofing the building and throwing
down the tiles on his head.

A RED FIRE COMPANY.
iT STARTED OUT TO SHAKE THINGS
UP IN JERICHO.


Pap Perkins, the Postmaster, Tells
How the Enthusiastic Organization
Was Busted Up by One Of Lish' Blk
Iings' Franks.
copyright. 1900. by c. B. Lewis.l
The Jericho fire company, which con-
sisted Of 40 men. 10 pals, 2 axes and a
ladder and all painted red except the
men, is no more on earth. It was or
ganized ID years ago and never turned
out to but one fire. Nobody had found
any fault with it, however. up to two
months ago, when Reube Holdfast
came into the postoffice one day and
says to me:
Look here, Pap. this town of Jericho
is deader'n doornail, and unless sun
thin kin be done to rouse her the moss
on our backs will be foot long in an
other year."
What kin you dow says l.
THAT'S what I've bin thinkin Of fur
the last month. We can't git up dog
fights nor boss races, and nobody will
go in fur a brass band or camp meet
in. The only thing kin think Of Is to
resurrect the fire company and boom
her fur all she's wuth. If we kin git
things a-goin red hot, Jericho will
wake up and push to the front till Chi
cago won't be in it. I'm gittin figgers
together fur speech, Pap. and you
jest lay low fur three or four days. and
you'll hear sunthin drop"
Before the week was out everybody
in town knew that sunthin was up.
and one evening Reube shot off his
speech to the postoffice crowd and
made big hit. He had the number Of
fires and the losses in the United States
fur the last fifty years. and he showed
how a fire company kept down. taxes.

spring of liberty. He pictured the town
of Jericho in ashes fur the want Of

ration. But you"
For days the poor sailor was in much
trouble, and one night he whispered to
his little companions:
'"Joe say you was rich as Vanderbilt
and he was going a long sail, would
you leave me belinda?
mo, john" said the child very ear
nestly; 81 would want you to come
too"
"Would you feel sorry, Joe, to sail
away and leave me on the wharf, Or
or if you was safe in a fine big ship,
see me busted to pieces on the rocks"
"John," said the child, 81 would jump
out and pull you to my ship, 1 would"
"Good old Joe," said the sailor, and
said nothing more until prayer time,
when he squeezed Joe's hand and whis-
pered:
"Pray hard, Joe. Pray hard for me
to come along. Pray for two, joe"
And little Joe prayed for two.
The two used. to watch for the
searchlight of the big night boat which
ran between two great cities on the riv-
er. When the steamer turned a point
it's light flashed for an instant full on
the front of the little hospital. Joe and
John, hand in hand very, very weak
now, would lie and watch for it. Joe
had made story that it knew they
were there and smiled in on purpose to
say "Good night" Always he piped
"good night" in return and John also.
Then Joe, squeezing the once powerful
hairy hand, would feebly ask:
"How do you feel, John, tonight?"
"First rate, joe" poor John would
answer, with a smothered groan.
'"That's nice"
And they would lie very still or grad
ually go to sleep.
And so one night the steamboat came
up the river and turned the point and
cast it's light upon the little hospital.
"Good night" said the sailor in a
very low, husky whisper, while Joe's
little hand rested on his. But the boys
eyes were wide with a strange light.
sit didn't say good night john" he
whispered and tried to squeeze his
friends hand. ut said 'goodby.'"
The sailor tried to rise in bed, but
was unable even to call out. He saw
the river, but he could not see the 9TH
err side. 1t was dark. He was afraid.
His fingers closed round the child's fee
bly,.
| "How-do-you- tonight, dear
John?" said little Joe's voice very soft
~ and tenderly.
| There was moments pause. The
sailors voice rang out with glad cry:
"First rate, joe"
"That's NICE" said the child.
And the little nurses, running in,
found the friends had gone together
