Many women have found that the vitality
and vigor impaired by Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription to the womanly
organs, has been the one thing needful
to fulfill the joy of motherhood. This
famous medicine is not a cure-al1, but
a specialists prescription, having as a
single aim the cure of diseases peculiar
to women.
Sick or weak women are invited to con-
suit DR.. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, by letter,

STATE OF WASHINGTON,
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1900-11-20

a call for the single statehood
convention is soon to be issued
and it is to be sincerely hoped
that the results of this convention
will be more apparent in changed
conditions here than were the re-
suits of last February's conven-
tiOn. If nothing else is accom-
plished, and if congress could be
induced to abolish that sinecure
position now held by Junketing
George Wright, so our people
could deal directly with the de-
partment in matters affecting
their interests, the convention
will not have been called in vain.
What we most need, next TO self
government. is freedom from car
pet bas interference when we seek
redress of grievances from the
powers at Washington.-ArdmOr
iete.

STATEHOOD TALK.

There is considerable single state
hood agitation in the air and it has
been proposed that convention be
called to meet at South McAlester,
December 10, to discuss this ques-
tion in all its phases. 1t is propos-
ed to have a convention composed
of 900 delegates, 800 from the
Indian Territory and a like number
from Oklahoma.
As 1T is quite we'll known over
the entire Territory Purcell is a
strong advocate Of single statehood
and Immediately upon the,,call being
issned her citizens should get to-
gether and select the delegates to
this meeting. Select men who will
do their utmost to have the will of
the majority carried out. Select
good spakers and men who are not
afraid to d. their duty.
There is certainly a way out Of
the chaotic condition the territory
now rests in and meeting of the
magnitude proposed will surely re.
suit IN a great deal Of good. As
Is known, every disease has its
remedy, and this, perhaps, may be
the right dose to give congress and
may cause that auguss body to get
a hustle on looking TO the better
ment of affairs in the Indian Terri
tory.-Purcell Citizen.

Baby Saved by a Parrot.

Three-year-old Johnny Leonard of
20 East One Hundred and Thirty-fourth
street, New York, owes his life to the
family parrot, Dick. The boy was look
ing out OF the window, and the sash.
which was merely proppedup, fell upon
his neck. Johnny shouted for help,
but, his head being outside the win
dow, his mother, who was at work in
another part of the house couldn't
near him. Them the parrot took up
the cry, says veracious neighbor.
"Helpl" 'HelP!" ''Help!" he screamed,
and the cry brought Mrs. Leonard to
The window. She rescued her child just
in time to save him from being choke6
TO death, so the ambulance surgeon
said who was called from the Harlem
hospital to attend the child.

pire. You may go to the bench for
using profane language
"Of course the opposing pitcher gave
the next man up four wide ones, and
the umpire again called an out. The
second baseman was the one to protest
this time, and he in turn was sent to
the bench and put out of the game.
When the umpire called the third man
! out on the fourth ball the rage of our
team knew no bounds. Fear of the
bumpers prevented us from doing any
thing violent to him, and we had to be
content with killing him with our
mouths. We threw out words and cpl
thets so vehemently that when our OPP
ponents came to bat everyone on our
side but myself had been ordered out
of the game.
Our adversaries were already pro-
claiming victory, but / babe them cease
their cries and went in to contend
against them alone.
THE first man up knocked pop-up
fly, which / easily gathered in The
second man hit aGttle grounder, which
stopped, and by hard running beat
him down to first. The third man was
| disposed of in like manner.
II was the first man up in the next
inning, and saw that, as there was no.
body to follow me, it would be neces-
sary to make a home run. The first ball
pitched was a wide one, but / Ieaped
across the plate and landed into deep
center for four bases. went to the
bench and then came up in place of the
second man. This time 1 jumped high
into the air and banged the ball over
right field fence. Nine times L came
to bat and made nine home runs, win
ming the game by the score of 40 to 4s.
The Houndville bumpers were crazy
with rage, but none of them questioned
the slight irregularity of my coming to
bat nine times in succession, as it was
just that L should take the place OF
the absent players. And then they
take good many liberties with the ma
tional rules out there

Bud hesitated, only a moment; then
the articles In question changed
hands.
Atrecess the boys went whooping out
and the giris gathered In groups of
threes and fours and talked in row
tones,
Recitations went on smoothly
enough till almost noon. Miss Wells
was helping little Mary Snow TO make
her first letters on the slate. and
seemed absorbed. Suddenly a wad of
paper struck the ceiling above and fell
on the floor beside her. She straight
ened up. I'VE are going to have a waste
basket soon; then there won't be any
embarrassment about where to put
such things" she said, pleasantly.

Bud had stiffened up with a grin
when she began, but when she finished
he rose, went slowly to the paper.
picked it up, and. putting it in his
pocket, looked at Miss Wells defiantly.
She had turned her attention to Mary
again. He walked slowly back TO his
seat. Surprise was depicted on the
faces of the older pupils
What had come over Bud?
Perhaps it was the courteous adj

At noon the children ate their
lunches almost in silence until Jimmy
Mason started to the door with piece
OF pie in one hand, his cap in the 9TH
er. Last one to the base has to standi"
he shouted, as he disappeared.
There was rush for caps and hoods
and the door-then Miss Wells found
herself alone.
AT the last recess there was more
freedom, and two or three of the larg-
est girls went up to the desk and spoke
to the teacher. Soon all the girls had
gathered around her and were listen
ing to the conversation.
In the last session of the day Is min
utes were given to all for the writing
exercise. Before beginning, Miss Wells
said: Now, it will be necessary for
me to rearrange the seating in order to
get the best results for writing. Molly
