a Hundred Years to Come.

There won't be a Democratic President

This prosperous country has no use for
one.
They always tinker With the tariff and
give England a grand show.
Then our working men are idle for the
mill wheels will not 60.
In the sad years that have passed when
you walked through a shut down
mill,
1t had graveyard air it was cold and
chill.
Grover invented a smoke consumer, it
worked all right,
For there was no smoke in the mills,
neither day nor night
Grover was a good fisherman down at
BuZzard Bay,
He carried the babies all night end fish

Hoke was dandy, have heard the old
soldiers tell;
They say in hotter place than Cuba
some day he will dwell.
Where they find such men ever mys-
terry will be.
But they bring them out every four
years shouting in great glee
The people cannot forget those awful
years of want and woe
When the Dems were in power and the
mill wheels would not go.
Billy Bryan going to try his luck ono
more.
His fame as the windy orator has reach

Billy with free silver and 1G 10 l.

We want McKin ley for President with
basis Of solid gold
The great good it will be TO this free
country can never half be told
But there are those who will vote the
Democratic ticket with cheerful
ness and pride;
If soulless Shylocks should cut their
throats and skin them when
they We died.

Oklahoma Fruit.

NO other section of the United States
can successfully raise as many kinds
and varieties of fruit as Oklahoma, and
the day is not far distant when Okla
homa fruit will be as well and favor
able known in the markets of the world
as those of California, Florida, or any
other fruit-growing section. Something
over 10000, 900 fruit trees have been
planted by the farmers and orchardlsts
of the Territory and when these all
come into bearing Oklahoma fruit will
be shipped to every market. The peo-
pie of the Territory do not themselves
realize how great the number of fruit
trees they have planted. As compara-
lively few of the trees bore until the
last year or two every man kept on plant
ing, and as the few trees that bear are
young and produce the minimum
amount Of fruit the planting is still
kept up When these trees. in a few
wears. come into full bearing the fruit
crop of the Territory will be something
enormous In the towns every residence
lot has from 6 to ? dozen fruit trees
upon it, some of the towns being VERT
able orchards So far the fruit crop
has found a ready home market but in
a few years the shipment will be large
and canning, preserving and picking
establishments will be necessary TO care
for the crop The sale of fruit jars for
the canning and preserving of fruits for
domestic use has reached over 12,0c0
600 the past two years.
Peaches. plums, pears, apricots, cher
ries, grapes, strawberries, rasbcrries
bIackberries and various other kinds
of fruit 10 well Thousands of gallons
oi rhe finest wiues are produced every
EAR.
The size o. Oklahoma fruit is 1lwuy,
above the average. the flavor the best.
and the grower does not have so great II
number Of insect pests to fight as have
the majority of localities.
From the above taken from the report
of the Gov. of Oklahoma it will be seen
that the Indian Territory is soon to be-
come one of the great fruit raising sec
tions of our country; and as some of our
citizens have secured a lease of half a
million acres of territory adjoining Ok
lahoma, the matter is Of local interest.

AIR NAVIGATION POSSIBLE.
French Scientists Think They Have
Solved the Problem.

French Scientists Think They Have
Solved the Problem.
Paris, Dec. 17.-Advance in air
navigation is being pushed by
two French scientists, Flip
pi and Macier, who have established
themselves in Tunis. M. Filippi,
speaking of airships and flying ma
chimes said: I'VE maintain that the
conquest of the air is possible by the
means which nature employs when II
lifts heavy bodies in a cyclone, that
is to say by atmospheric depression.
My apparatus consists of four cones,
each surmounted by small wing and
connected by hollow steel shaft to a
skiff. The rotation of the cones pro-
duces a strong depression above the
ascending apparatus. The ascensional
movement is determined consequently
by upward pressure. Two cones placed
ahead and astern serve to guide the
apparatus, which advances on the same
principle as it ascends and supports
passengers and motor. No scientist
has yet been able to refute the theory
that this force exists. 1t had to be
discovered-that was all. We hope, by
means of the apparatus we are now
constructing, to prove that we have
effectively conquered the air, by travel
ing from Tunis to Paris"
