COMING ATTRACTIONS.

CABIN JOHN BRIDGE.-Go where the
crowd goes and 1t will lead you to Cabin
John Bridge, at once the coolest and most
delightful spot in which to spend pleasant
special cars to the Bridge seem to be quite
fad, and the crowds this week have sur
passed all others. The music by Immich's
Concert Band has an added charm In the
perfect moonlight nights. Requests for
special selections are given precedence over
the regular program The amusements are
diversified enough to suit all tempera-
ments and every care is taken for the COM
fort and convenience Of the patrons Of
Cabin John. The show at the Palm Gar
den has been the best of the season, and
they have all been good. The motion pic
ture OF the Spanish bull fight can only be
edualed by witnessing the actual spectacle
itself in Spain. After having seen this film
you can talk as intellgently of bull fight
as though you had really been present dur
ing the fight So great has been the en-
thuslasm over both Cinderella and the
bull fight films that 1t has been decided to
run them another week. The other sub
1ects will be changed.
GLEN ECHO PARK-A big minstrel
Jubilee will be inaugurated at Glen Echo
Park next week, under the management Of

Three More Contests.

Fort Sill, o. T., Aug. 19.-Tbree ad-
ditional contest suits have been started
against James Wood, the first winner
of the Lawton district land lottery. A
local townsite company staked off
Woods entry and stretched ropes to in
dictate alleys and gave notice of contest.
These Woods displaced with the aid of
an axe, but during the night 200 squat
tiers took possession and say they will
contest to the end. Woods attorneys
have warned the squatters to move
within ten days. A fourth contest was
claim, based on the alleged discovery of
oil on the Wood homestead, was filed
with the register of deeds.

| Unlike other governments, ours
makes no extra allowance for the liv-
| ing expenses of it's representatives.
Thus it is that many times an impor-
tant foreign mission has been de-
| clined-for financial reasons-by the
able statesman to whom it was prof
fered. If one accepts such a post he
naturally feels in duty bound to live
up to the standard set by his prede-
cessors, and this usually means that
he must have a large private fortune
to draw upon. There have been a few
instances where such positions have
been held by men unable to maintain
great establishments, but who have
unwisely attempted it by mourning OBJ
legations which they could not meet.
thus bringing themselves and their
government to humiliation. Diplomat
ic agents are without the pale of the
common law of the countries where
they are stationed, and Il bills are left
unpaid creditors have absolutely no
recourse. There is a large financial
advantage to be a diplomat If he is a
bachelor, for 1t is then understood that
he has no special obligations in So
cial way. If he be personally popular
he will be overwhelmed with invita-
lions, but he need never use any in
return except to SUCH small parties OF
friends as he may care to entertain in
his chambers or at a restaurant. The
most of the diplomatic corps, however,
are married men, for their govern
ments know that upon the social ad-
ministration by the mistress of the
household depends in no small part
the success Of the official side of the
residency. A diplomatic residence in
any of the larger European capitols
may easily mean an annual expendi-
ture of from forty thousand to fifty
thousand dollars. Only rich men are
therefore eligible for these posts, and
thus false standard Of wealth is be-
ing raised as test for diplomatic pre-
ferment. 1t is likely that before long
our government will lease and furnish
permanent houses for it's ambassadors
an ministers in the principal foreign
countries, and this will go a long way
toward correcting a grave fault in the
present system. Our ambassador to
st. Petersburg had to do house-hunt-
ing for six months, and was almost in
despair of finding a suitable residence.
AS it is, he pays more in rates than
even the ambassador in London, and it
is said the rental is more than a thou
sand dollars a month. - Woman's

WOOD HAS TWO CONTESTS.
Five Hundred Lawton Business
Men Sign the Papers.
AN APACHE ALSO CONTESTS.

Fort Sill, o. T., Aug 1o.-John o.
Calvert, of Guthrie, o. T, one of the
oldest established attorneys in the ter
ritory, filed contest papers at the local
land Office against the entry made by
James r. Woods, the winner of the first
number in the Lawton district land
lottery. According to the government
plan, two claims were made to adjoin
the southern part of the Lawton town
site. This was considered the most
thrown open to settlement and in fling
Woods claimed 100 acres running the
entire length of the townsite This
shut out Miss Matte Beal, the Wichita
telephone girl who won number two in
the lottery and who was thus compelled
to file on a claim of much less value.
Five hundred Lawton business men
have signed the contest papers which

act.
Horace Speed, United States district
attorney for Oklahoma, when he heard
of the Woods selection, was quoted as
saying:
"Any good lawyer can defeat Woods
if contest is instituted. The law con-
templates no such perversion of home
stead rights. If contest is instituted
there can only be one result"
Word has also been received from
Washington that Emmett Cox, son-in-law
of Quanah Parker, has instituted con-
test before the interior department for
one of the quarter sections adjoining
the TOWNSHIP, the north half of which is
the Woods claim and the south half is
Miss Beal's. The Cox contest is not re-
garded seriously, but will make trouble.

A Slight Mistake.

Garrison examined the photograph
long and earnestly. as the ethics of the
situation seemed to require.
They're as pretty as peaches, and
as like as two peas. 1 congratulate
you on your taste, old man."
I'm glad you like her looks. l
mean her sister for you
Thanks, awfully. By the way,
which is the sister? To me they look
as much alike as the two Dromios."
Blake flushed. "The ueuce of it is
that l don't know Gladys from Nell.
They're twins, you know. 1 met Gladys
one summer in the Adirondacks. That
was two years ago, and though we be-
came engaged 1 haven't seen her
since"
And when did you see the other one
last? What's her name-Nell?" asked
Garrison.
Il never have seen her. OF course,
I've heard great deal about her from
Gladys in her letters. In one way it
is just the same as knowing her."
"Oh, yes-exactly. No difference at
all" agreed Garrison ironically. Il
must say like your generosity, Jim.
1t isn't every man would be so free of
his sisters-in-law as you are. You
show the proper spirit Considering
the extent of your acquaintance with
her she probably wouldn't thank you
for disposing of her matrimonially,
though. Girls are a little odd that
way. They like to meet the man they
are going to marry before their friends
arrange the details-at least, that has
been my experience with American
girls"
well, you may guy me all you
please, Bob, but I'll bet a hat you are
running after her before a week is up.
She'll lead you a merry chase, too, if
she is anything like her sister," re-
turned the other young man COM
posedly.
Robert Garrison examined the
photograph again, and when he hand
ed it back said dryly:
my friend, l see your finish. When
those girls get of the train you won't
know one from the other. You'll get
ratified and make a mistake sure as
shooting. Go slow, my son. 1t doesn't
do to be engaged to a girl and not
recognize her when you see her. l
don't know much about the sex, but l
think l know that much.'
Blake scoffed. ooh, I'll know Gladys
when l see her. What do you take
me for? They are not so much alike
as all that, and there IS always the
ring as a last resort"
well, l have known girls to wear
gloves, so you need not bank on the
ring. No. you're going to put your
foot in it. There's a very pretty di-
1emma in the situation. 1t would
never do not to show your joy at see
ing her, and it wouldn't do to mistake
the identity of your lady. 1 only hope
you won't kiss the wrong one. Bet
ter telegraph to Chicago and tell your
Miss Harrison to wear a red ribbon
round her arm. Send it to the depot,
and t will catch her on the train"

his departure, promising to join his
friend next day at the depot
Unfortunately Blake was of nerv-
Gus disposition, and he began to con-
oeive the dreadful results of making
mistake. He told himself the thing
vas impossible, but it worried him
iust the same. Two years are two
years. and in that time a girl develops
into q young woman. Certainly in the
photograph he could not make sure
which of the girls was Gladys. Some
times it seemed to him that the one on
NE right was undoubtedly she, then
again he was just as sure that the
uther one was his betrothed. He had
seen her look exactly like both of
