al flower, as II Is found perhaps in
every state In the Union. But there
are golden rods and golden rods; about
seventy.tive species all told, in North
America. They all present one def
mite characteristic--tbey are yellow.
To the casual observer this makes
them all alike. But upon close study
they are found TO be far different both
in structure and In mode Of living.
Some are hurdy and some are rigid
These choose their home upon the
Western prairies. How they have
ndaptcd themselves to such conditions
we don't know. Perhaps IL has been n
gradual process through ages Of effort.
Others are tender and make thcir homes
upon the banlss OF streams and in the
shade OF woodlands, Some are odor-
less and and some are very fragrant.
One which grows In several parts Of
Kansas, and perhaps in Oklahoma, is
especially fragrant. 1t usually grows
about two feet IN height and blooms
In spike six inches long and very
dense. IL has an exquisite scent when
fresh, which IL will retain for years
after being cured, The time OF flower.
ing for the golden rod Is from August
to October, in our climate. Sometimes
one species, the Missouri golden rod,
can be found in June.
Thanksgiving Day Pardons.
Guthrie. e.-9ovcruor Barnes today 1857

pardons. Three fortunate ones are on

Rufus Crane, sent up from Noble

stolen goods lie was n colored boy Of
good reputation, and received n small
amount of goods which had been stolen
from store In Perry. lie had served
more thon two years Of his term. Par
don was recommended BY the Judge,
prosecuting attorney, and large num-
Der Of citizens.
Charles Daugherty, sentenced for
seven years from Payne county, for
burglary. He broke into cave be.
longing to a relative and stole three
jars Of butter. The judge gave him
the full extent OF the law because of
his having assaulted n man who testi.
fled against him at the trial. Under "a
recent dec csion OF Chief Justice burg
larry was not committed by breaking
into cave, the young man could have
been sentenced to a fine and 30 days In
jail, Us the amount stolen was SO small
us to make II only petit larceny. lie
mad served nearly four year, Of his
sentence aud pardon was recommended
by the judge, prosecuting attorney, a
majority OF the jury who convicted
him and several hundred of the best
citizens Of Payne county.
Clarence Msrtin, sentenced from
Dewey county for two years for burg
larry. lie had served nearly three
fourths Of his sentence, and the pardon
was recommended by the Judge and
prosecuting attorney because OF miti-
eating circumstances.
