Il y
east, whose recent publication
"Beneath the Banner OF the State, :"
rapidly followed three weeks since
with "Madame O'Toole's Wit
and Other Short Stories," causing
him to be wined, dined and feted
by intelligent Gotham and the
Hub, spent two whole days (think
of iD in Vinita without single
person, other than his relatives to
do him homage.
He came quietly-he would
have it so-and stayed closely in
doors of his sisters home where
he met for the first time his
brother-in. law, a man known to
nearly every person in Vinita; a
man who is prominent in social
and business affairs and. whose
residence here dates from period
between five and fifteen years ago.
The reason for not mentioning
the name in the first line OF the
first paragraph Of this publication
of what would ordinarily be, at
the most, a ten or twelve line
"personal, /" is because OF the fact
that the Literary Lion of the day
has history that might rise up to
embarass his sister, one OF the
most estimable ladies of Vinita or
of the entire country
The name of the guests already
known to those readers who keep
posted upon the latest literary pro-
ductions through the Reviews and
criticisms of the literary editors Of
the large metropolitan journals.
The name is not as we'll known
to the masses of this section as it
will be when his books are offered
for sale on our newstands which
may be several months as the
presses of the publishing house in
New York are running night and
day to supply the eastern demand
for the two works whose titles
have already been referred to, es-
pecially "Beneath the Banner Of
the State"
The identity of Vinita's distin-
guished visitor was accidentally
divulged to the writer at the time
Of his departure at the Frisco de-
pot by gentleman, Mr.. Millard,
of New York. who had come up
over the Sapulpa branch after in
specting the Texas oil fields for
himself and other capitalists. The
latter, upon seeing the Literary
Lion whom be had met at the Un-
ion League, Merchants and other
clubs of New York, hastily raised
the window of his Pullman COM
partment, and heartily invited the
Lion to Join him, by shouting a
greeting and question: Eugene
DuPree, whatever are you doing
in this country. Getting material

for another good book, eh? Come
right in, my party and | have the
entire car. /"
The writer approached the Lion
and asked if he were the author of
"Beneath the Banner of the State. "
He answered affirmatively and
added quickly: II prefer that
you would not mention my visit
in the Chieftain." The reporter
refused to promise, and was in
vited to ride few miles and listen
to reasons why his visit to his els
ter, Mrs , should not be
printed - an item of news in
which the public would likely
take an interest.
After the Lion had received
cordial welcome from the members
of the party, and been presented
to those be had not previously
met. he excused himself and, re.
turning to the reporter, told his
story and had scarcely completed
the interesting tale when the train

TWO RUSTY GUNS
Offered sG Payment for Nickel Lunches But
the Waitress Said No.

The heavy demands which have
been made on the finances of people,
not too generously endowed with the
coin of the realm have at least de-
velCped a spirit of ingenuity not to
mention a remarkable nerve in divers
persons, as the following incident
which occurred in IAN eating place
that kept open all night" will readily
show About 10 o'clock Sunday even
ing a young man walked cautiously
up to the lunch counter of the afore
said restaurant, seated himself gin
gerly on the stool and hesitatingly
asked if he might have something to
eat. The waitress regarded him with
suspicion, but set forth the required
provender.
At about the same time another in
dividual stepped in and made the
same request in a tone which seemed
to say 81 haven't got the price, but
if you won't try to make levy on my
necktie I'll try to settle for the feed.
He was also served, but when the time
for both gents to settle arrived and
the waitress asked them for a nickfe
apiece, both looked EMBARRASSED, but
on being pressed for the collateral,
they simultaneously reached in their
pockets and laid down two rusty an
tiquated looking weapons which bore
the appearance of having hastily been
constructed from gas pipe. The
waitress said she didn't want the sup
posed shootin' irons" and as the boys
thought they might need them, the
guns were handed back. However,
each one was made to give mortgage
on his next weeks wages and serious
trouble was narrowly averted, for the
propIietress of the restaurant was
preparing to hit the moneyless youths
over the head with one of her adam
antlne pies when the affair was amic-
ABLY adjusted.
Moral-Always go loaded and then
you won't have to go away empty.

great dam is being builded highway
that also conforms to the prophecy
of Isaiah.
The prosperity of practically the
whole agricultural region of Egypt de-
pends upon the Nile river. 1t can
make Of the Nile valley the most fer
tile spot on earth, or it can leave it a
scorching desert dried up beneath the
rays of tropical sun. Nature seem
ingly intended that the Nile should
overflow it's banks, and while in most
instances the overflow of a great river
is looked upon as a frightful calamity,
and guarded against with all the inge
nuity of man, in Egypt such an or-
currence is prayed for, and if it does
not come famine and pestillence
spreads its dread wings over the land.
The Nile is an erratic stream, and
while nature seemingly intended it to
overflow its banks and water the lands
it does not always do so. To remedy
this England is building the great dam
at Assouan at a cost of more than $20,-
100000. All of this amount, with in
terest, will be returned to England By
the Egyptian government, who will in
turn recover it from the agricultural
lists living along he banks of the Nile,

Scott COffeV.

Scott Coffey, who has been a prey
to that dread scourge of mankind CON
sumption, died 'late Sunday night.
Since last July Mr.. Coffey has been
growing weaker and as the high water
came on it was considered expedient
to remove him from his home in the
Union Block to the home of Walter
Webster where better care could be
given.
The change was accordingly made
but the sick mans strength was all
but exhausted and the end, probably
only a question of time, was reached
Sunday night.
The deceased was a barber by trade
and was employed at Conrad haums
barber shop. He was married on July
4th last and was 21 years of age.

burial have not yet been determined.

and who will pay for the service of
watering his lands.
The dam, which, when completed,
will assure the people living on some
100000 acres of Egypt's most produc-
tive land of bountiful crops, is being
built across the river at point where
the stream is a mile wide, and
stretches from bank to bank over a
series of rocky islets, which are sepa-
rated by channels of varying width.
The shallower and narrower channels
are-or, rather, were-situated to-
wards the eastern bank, and, conse-
quently, though work has proceeded
over the whole course of the dams
path and neighborhood, the chief prog
ress with the actual dam has been
made on the eastern side of the river.
The work of closing up one by one the
channels has been taken in order from
that side, and the extreme western
channel, which was the largest and
most difficult of all the channels, has
been left until last. Some three weeks
ago this channel was finally closed, and

Two years more labor will be re-
quired before this great irrigation sys-
tenn is completed, but when it is finally
finished it is hoped that the water of
the river upon which the hope of Egypt
is founded will be so thoroughly un-
der control that the land need no
longer fear for her crops. England
has done many great things for Egypt
since the days she first assumed SUI
zerainty over the long struggling ma
tion, but this building of the dam at
Assouan is probably the greatest of all
of them. WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.
