Of nations or individuals.
Tile difference between the healthy,
happy mother who has healthy children

DRAWING the Line on jackson

A good story is told in Nilsson
ri at the expense Of its once fam
Gus Governor, Claiborne F. Jack
son. Before he solved the enigma
of lovelock he had married five
sisters--in reasonable lapses OF
copsecutiyenss. After one wife
had been lost and appropriately
mourned he espoused another, and
he kept his counting within mar
row circle of his own relatives, for
he rather liked the family.
The Anticipated father of these
was almost deaf, and when the
Governor went to this Octogena-
rian to ask for his surviving
daughter the following conversa-
ton ensued:
ri want Lizzie"
"Eh!"
Il want YOU to let me have

''Oh, you want Lizzie, do YOU

"Oh, yes! Just so. | hear YOU.

I'm precious glad you do!'
muttered the Governor.
Well" slowly responded the
veteran, you needn't halloa so
that the whole neighborhood knows
it! Yes, you can have her. You've
got 'em all now, my lad, but for
goodness sake, if anything hap
pens to that ere poor misguided
gal, don't come and ask me for
the old woman!'

REPUBLICANS MEET
And Decide to Join the Progressive
Democrats for a dood Ticket.

A large and enthusiastic meet
ing of Vinita republicans was held
at the court house last night. In
the gathering were a number of
business and professional men
who are democrats in matters OF
government policy, but who eschew
party politics when the question
Of an honest and progressive gov
ernment at home arises.
The sentiment Of the meeting
was expressed in the appended
resolution:
Believing that the best interests
of Vinita demand an economical
and progressive city government,
and that too often men are chosen
without regard to their qualitica-
tions for the particular office.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
favor partisan ticket in the
coming city election and have ap-
pointed committee of five to con-
fer with those whose views coin
eide with ours"
The meeting was called to order
by President w. S. Stan6eld who
stated the object OF the meeting.
Several men demanded the right
to sign the membership roll of the
club before the transaction of any
business.
In the selection of officers to
serve for the ensuing year W. 5.
Stanfeld and DR.. T. T. Winner
were reelected president and sec
retary, respectively.
In an address frequently inter-
rupted by applause Mr.. Stanheld
stated his belief that the republi.
cans should not, at this time, nom-
mate ticket. The republicans
are in favor of progressive and
economical administration of city
affairs. The progressive and anti
progressive members of the demo-
cratic party are lining up and the
republicans should rally to the
support of the progressive element.
The interests of Vlnita demand
that we rise above party politics
and select a citizens ticket COM
posed of the best men of the city.
DR.. Winner. Captain White,
Judge DonCarlos, w. H. Oar
rough and John II. Manis deliver
ed addresses all urging the affilia-
ton OF the republicans with the
progressive democrats and decry-
ing the proposition of placing part
isan tickets in the field.
Bert Chandler proposed the ap-
pointment of a committee of five
in accordance with the resolution
printed above. The following gen.
ilemen were appointed: W. 5.

In 1857 the railroad company In Rome oe-
c,ded to present TO Pope Plus IN a private
railroad carriage. which was TO consist OF
an oratory. a salon and a sleeping compart-

the eminent Gerome. The artist accepted
the commission and in due time three beau
tiful paintings by him adorned the carriage.
One va. a srand ailegorical work In which
the truths OF religion were represented by
st. Peter and St. Paul.: another was a
painting in which the Pope was represented

ops. was seen baptizins the first locomotive.
Besides these paintings. there were several
medallions containing figures of the Virgin.
the infant Jesus and the twelve apostles.
Now. for some reason or other Pope Plus
never received this beautiful carriage. and
the question is: What has become Of IL?
The matter has been brought to the atten-
tion OF Pope Leo. and he has expressed a
strong desire to ascertain the fate Of the
vehicle. not because he would ever be likely
to use IL, but because he desires. II possible.
