To the Ardmoreite.
Muskogee, 1. t., June 2.-The Ark
ansas colonies and judges are fight
ing among themselves over here.
They are all dubbed "Marcum Lieu
tenants but that's all they are.
Lieutenant Toomer is disgusted and
wherefore? Lieutenant, Toomer has
run paper" in times past and he
thinks he knows something about
running a campaign, but Marcum
has placed Lieutenant de Graffenried.
sort of Micawber in as manager.
de, with lower case d, thinks that
because he wears broad brimmed
hat and was once introduced to Joe
Bailey, that he can pilot the perap-
atetic politician through, and the
breaks he has made will be very ap-
parent at Ardmore. Then there is
Lieutenant Brook; he is young man
and supposed to be lawyer. Brook
is noted chiefly for the imaginary
in his mind-and is damned by the
balance for their utter rout at Eu-
faula. Then there is Lieutenant Ben
Lafayette of Checota, who has or
members, but if he swears to it be
will be indicted for perjury; he is a
Hebrew and goes back to Missouri to
vote And Lieutenant Jim Givens of
this place is another one of the same
ilk. He wants to be district attorney
under the Marcum- Bryan regime-but
he'll never be it. Then there is Bob
WIlson-well, they are all quarreling.
Toomer, who has more managerial
sense than the whole push, including
Mareum, wants to 60 along and per-
feet an organization-they have not
got one yet-but these other fellows
they are afraid that he will get a
SCOOP on them. They had 500 cir
cnlars printed and circulated throug-
cut the Northern district calling for
a meeting of all the lieutenants here.
! Oh, what farce it was. Just five in
all assembled and four of them were
from Muskogee. There were not
enough present to organize meet
| ing and they sat around and glared
at each other like so many Tom cats.
Three DAYS ago they said they would
have man from each club, but the
count showed that but one club out
side of this town was represented.
The people here in Muskogee have
wearied of Tom Marcum and his cam
paign, and the same may be said OF
the people of the southern district,
and this is one reason why the lieu
tenants are scrapping. They see
that defeat is coming to them and
they want to get out of the way. And
then the money question is a serious
one with them. The purse strings nc
longer are loosed and the men who
were contributing, under protest
have put clasp on their pocket
Marcum glides in from some little
jerk water postoffice which he has
deceived into supporting him.
This is a truthful resume of the
situation up here and it Is about az
hopeless as Marcum's most ardent
enemy could desire. The enthusi-
asm has died out; the money has
ceased to come in and the whole
false fabric is about to tumble down
and bury the great prevaricating
perepatetic politician in its ruins. Sc
mote it be. FAUST.

Fun for tho Pages.


The mischievous pages OF the house
have discovered new trick of the
echoes in Statuary hall. They play it
upon the tourists by the score and up
on pretentious statesmen occasionally,
when they can do so without being
discovered. 81. >. .:E~E ID j.
There is certain spot, near. the
beaten path of travel from the central
doorway of the house toward the sem
ate, where this peculiar echo is effec-
tive. If any coin or metal object is
dropped on the marble step between
the telegraph Office and the. reception
room it sounds to one passing the par
tlcular spot in question, as though the
object were dropping Immediately at
his feet. A boy with a dime or nickel
is able to have all sorts of fun by
waiting till some one passes the
point. Even the senate pages skip
away from, their work to visit the
boys on the other side and play With
this echo.

Sly Joking in the Pulpit.

Before went to college," said a
minister of Utica, II did supply work
on certain charge one summer. In
the Methodist church we had service
morning and evening. There was a
Presbyterian church in the village,
and the pastor from another village
supplied it, preaching there once a
Sunday in the afternoon. I went to
hear him one afternoon. He was a
college-bred man and was supposed to
be away up. When he spied me in
the congregation he came down and
asked me to assist in the opening ex-
ercises. When we were seated he
asked me to read the first lesson, and
was a certain chapter in the Book of
Numbers. Just before was to read
I reached up to the desk and took
down the Bible and opened to the
place. I glanced down over the chap
ter and saw it was a, mass of unpro-
nounceable names. I knew that he
was working joke on me. He knew
that 1 could not get away with those
names. I said nothing, but when the
time came I stood up and announced
the chapter following and read it..
when I sat down he gave me a look
and he got one back. I whispered
hoarsely, 7 guess not Those were
the only words spoken on thessubject."'

FOR ARMY BREAD

Biscuit and Preserved Meat and vese-
tables Now on Trial.
Military papers report that expert
ments are being made in GERMANY
with a view to testing the merits of
new description of food for use in
campaigning. The food consists of a
biscuit, which, it is claimed, is, a per-
feet substitute for bread and of meat
and vegetables preserved by a special
process. All that is made known as to
the biscuit is that eggs enter into its;
composition. The meat and vegetables
are to be eaten hot, and their special
recommendation is the short time in
which they can be cooked, ten minutes
or a quarter of an hour The duty of
testing the virtues of the new food has
devolved upon the First battalion of
the l74th regiment of the line. For
week the officers and men of this per-
maps luckless battalion will be allowed
no other solid nourishment of any
kind whatever, and the most stringent
precautions have been taken to pre-
vent their RECALLING themselves surrep-
tltlously with other fare. Moreover.
throughout the trial period the bat
talon is to engage in maneuvers COM
prlslng forced marches, camping out
and every species of fatigue. It would
seem to be only justice that the in
ventor should have been made to live
on his products for fortnight before
the soldiers were forced to content
themselves with them for week.

Left Handed Party.

A hostess often finds difficulty in en-
Pertaining her young friends. Here is
novel way to spend an evening
which will afford amusement to old
and young.
In sending out nvitations request
each guest to come with the right
hand securely bound up. Let no one
be excepted. When the hostess greets
them she extends her left hand and
begs them to write their names in a
blank book on her desk. The page
will soon have an appearance of a g.
year-old's first attempt to write Some
soloist may play her own left-handed
accomplishments, and an elocutionist
recite, making all her gestures with
the left hand. The men must include
something that will demand the use of
a spoon to add to the awkwardness of
the left-hand community.

English Great Sugar Eaters,

In 1869 the English consumed, on
the average, forty-two pounds of sugar
per capita annually, says the Forum.
That this is enough for either health or
reasonable enjoyment is proved by the
fact that few peoples use so much to-
day. For example, in 1896 Italy con-
sumed 7.19 pounds per capita; Spain,
1877 pounds; Austria-Hungary, 1884
pounds; Belgium, 22.S pounds; Ger.
many, 27.14 pounds, and France, 1924
pounds. In the United States, where
the use of sweets is said to be. inju-.
riously excessive, only thirty-five
pounds per capita were consumed in
1869, and sixty-one pounds per capita
in 1898. In England during 1857
every human being, including babies,
invalids and paupers, disposed, on the
average, of nearly four ounces of sugar
day, or S4.77 pounds a year. Z -, !. j.

telling him the name of the opera,
the f1imsy plot that carried it, where
