he Sure You Read.

Thu man who would like to know
something about astronomy must lay
out little scheme of study for him
self, get the books which are neces-
sary and have them at hand the mo-
ment he is at leisure. The man who
wishes to familiarize himself with po-
litical economy, with politics or with
industrial questions, which are now Of
such importance, must find out what
textbooks he ought to have, secure
those textbooks and keep them by his
side.
The man who wishes to know litera-
ture does not need to lay out an elabo-
rate plan which fills him with discour-
agement by its very magnitude, but he
does need to decide what author he Is
going to read next. and he does need
to get the book and keep it within easy
reach.
Almost all the great classics are now
published In such portable forms that
a man can carry play Of Shakespeare,
the essays Of Bacon, the poems of Ten
nyson or of Browning, a translation Of
Faust" Matthew Arnold's criticisms.
Emerson's essays or John Burroughs

Braiu Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled
the silly notion that one kind of
food is needed for brain, another for
muscles, and still another for bones.
A correct diet will not only nurish
a particular part of the body, but it
will sustain every other part. Yet,
however good your food may be, its
nutriment is destroyed by indiges-
ton or dyspepsia. You must pre-
pare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy
millions. A few doses aids diges-
ton, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes
you feel bouyant and vigorous. You

remedies at Fox Bros. Get Green s
special Almanac.

The Peach Legend.

Almost all fruits and flowers have
their legend. One about the peach
comes from Japan and tells how poor.
pious old couple were searching for
food by the roadside. The woman
found peach, which she would not
eat of, though starving, till she could
share it with her husband He cut it
exactly in half, when an infant leaped
forth. 1t was one of the gods, who had,
he said, accidentally fallen out of the
peach ORCHARD Of heaven while playing.
He told them to plant the stone Of the
peach, and it brought them happiness,
friends and wealth.

PUSHING FORWARD.

There is always way to rise, my boy, 81,
Always way to advance;
Yet the road that leads to Mount Success
Does not pass BIZ the way of Chance,
But goes through the stations of Work and Strive
Through the valley of Persevere,
And the man that succeeds, while others fail,
Must be willing to pay most dear.
For there's always way to fall, my boy,
Always way to slide,
And the men you find at the foot of the hill
All sought for an easy ride.
So on and up, though the road be rough
And the storms come thick and fast;
There is room at the top for the man who tries
And victory comes at last.
Success.

The trouble seems to have reached its
first demonstration at Wndman IN the

sight of the whole community boldly hung
q sign on tree; said sign containing a
warning to the world that the land be-
Meath it had been fled upon for agricul-

gathered around the intruder and de-
handed TO know why he did SO and what
nc meant by bluffing with that gun. The
Intruder said he had brought the gun
along TO shoot quail.
To add TO the excitement, a government
official visited the place and asked Tor
information about the mineral claims.
saying he had been ordered TO make a
report.
The prospectors say they have the law
on their side" and that they know their
rights and that no farmers can push in
and get the gold land. but reports say
that the farmers are pushing in just the
same.
Here it is regarded as a safe thing for
the mining companies which are num-

WAR ON ALL GAMBLING.
Faro, Gold Bricks, Slot Machines and

Guthrie, Q. T.. Nov. 9.-The sheriff of
Oklahoma county has declared war on all
gambling devices. In an interview that
official says
We have issued an order to all the sa-
looms that they must close at midnight
every night and not open their doors for
any purpose until Monday morning. They
viii not be allowed to open their doors
before six each morning and there will
be allowed no games of chance, either in
the saloons or in the rooms above them.
All of the gamblers have been ordered to
stop their business under all conditions.
and the slot machines have been turned TO
the wall for good and all. The bawdy
houses will be closed, and we are going to
make war on the 10 goods. tin horns
and sure thing men that have disgraced
the county so long. Ny deputies have
orders to arrest every man who gives any
sign Of being without visible means of
support. and this means that we viii
have a nice large rock pile for a lot Of
buns if they don't leave the county and
stay away. There is no criticism of any
one in this matter. but I am tired of hear
ing the petty thieving stories and am
going TO close out the gang. The city
police viii assist in the work and lifd VIII
be burden to the lawbreakers. This is
not movement or q few days, but viii
continue as long as am sheriff Of this
county,
The action that has been taken has
been threatened for some months. but has
not been taken until now FOR some IN
known reason. and there is some question
whether it is a spasm of virtue that VIII

officers arc firm in their declaration that
