you have introduced a bill authorizing
the governor CT Oklahoma TO detach
Rock and Walnut townships from this
county and attach them TO Noble. This
same question has been before three sue
cessiye legislative assemblies on the in
stigation of Noble county. These two
townships have been fully represented
by petitions, remonstrances and delegates.
In each instance the legislature refused
TO detach this territory. These townships
rightfully belong to this county; were at
tached 10 this county by the act opening
the Strip. long before the boundaries
Of NobIe county were fixed by the secre-
tary of the interior, and long before Perry
was located as the county seat. We. OF
course, do not know what your position
IS in the matter; that is. whether you
have introduced the bill at the instance
OF the Noble county people, or whether
you feel a personal interest in the matter,
and VIII personally urge the passage OF
the BILL IN any event. we feel that we
are entitled TO such information as will
give Us an opportunity to reach our con-
gressionaI friends. outside Of yourself,
and lay the actual facts before them
by the way of opposition 10 the bill.
4 write this at the request of a num-
ber of our citizens, and we viii be glad
to save you the trouble of answering like
letters by giving the answer as much
publicity as possible.
Please also have sent TO me a copy
of the bill above referred to.

DROVE HIS RIVAL OUT.
over Chicago Competitor
in His Line.

A travelling salesman for local
wholesale house lately returned from
the south with a good story, showing
how he routed Chicago competitor
from a profitable town of his terri
tory.
This particular town is in Texas,
and in it are a lot of jolly good fell
lows, whose chief joy in life is guy
ing the newcomers and initiating
them into the alleged customs of the
wild and woolly west.
Their method is to take the VIC
tim to a certain saloon, and after a
couple or rounds of whiskies, to en-
gage in a hot argument, eventually
leading to fierce climax, in which
revolvers are drawn. They keep one
long siX-shooter behind the bar for
just such emergencies, relates a Mil
waukee exchange.
Our travelling man fell in with
Chicago salesman carrying the same
line and bound among other places
for Texas. When the Milwaukee man
discovered that it was his first trip
south he scented some royal sport.
He Immediately wired ahead to the
boys to prepare for a fresh victim.
Then he proceeded to enlighten that
tenderfoot on the character of the
town and its citizens. He drew a
graphic picture of their lawless lives.
their many feuds, and he dwelt par
ticularly on their settling all dis
putes, great or small, with a bullet.
BY the time the train pulled in at
Y the Chicago man was about max
ing up his mind to erase that town
from his list, even if he did lose his
job. But his companion cheered him
up by picturing the other side of
the desperadoes' nature as most
genial and hospitable. In fact, not
to accept their hospitality was an
affront, which would be ruinous to
business, and at the same time not
quite safe.
After supper they went for
stroll, and it was surprising how
many friends the drummer met in
the course of block. They were
delighted to see him again, and at
once adopted his new friend. Their
cordiality was, if anything, trife
too vigorous, for they slapped him
on the back and worked his hand
like farm pump. Then a drink was
proposed. After the first round it
was suggested by the Milwaukee man
they shake dice for the second. The
box was promptly set on the bar.
The Milwaukee man threw and an
nounced: Three SKIES"

upon me yesterday, and who has the
misfortune to be blind, is your uncle z"
/ said.
"Yes! He was my fathers younger
and only brother" she answered. II
have often heard my father speak of
him, but l had never seen him myself
until he arrived in England a month
ago with his companion, Mr.. Codd. Mr..
Fairfax, they have suffered terribly.
l have never heard anything so awful
as their experiences"
"Icanquite believe that" answered.
"Your uncle told me something of
their great trouble yesterday. 1t
seems wonderful to me that they
should have survived to tell the tale"
Then he must have told you of
Hayle, their supposed friend" (she
spoke with superb scorn), "the man
who betrayed them and robbed them
of what was given them?"
ut was for that purpose that they
called upon me-" 1 answered. "They
were anxious that l should undertake
the search for this man."
ITO Be Continued

1.-TWO, you mean" said the Texan,
quickly sweeping them up.
Il tell you | threw three I'm not
blooming fool"
At this the contestant waxed furi-
ously, and, pulling his gun, put it on
the bar, saying: "Anybody that dis
putes my word settles with that"
Then the others mixed in with vari-
GUS deadly weapons and language,
the latter as appalling as the weap-
ems.
In the midst of the riot the long
siX-shooter was produced, at sight Of
which the tenderfoot, who had been
purposely wedged in behind a table.
gave one leap upon it, second more
and with just one sweeping glance
at his friend he bolted through the
door and down the street like
creased lightning.
When he reached the hotel he told
them to send the police, his late
companion was being murdered.
In the meantime the jolly good
fellows gave way to uproarious
mirth, and after another drink all
round to the success of their sport
they suggested doing it all over.
The Milwaukee man was dispatched
after the victim, to whim he was in
structed to say that everything had
been adjusted amicabIy. They wait
ed for him to join them in order to
apologize. They felt that he had left
them under misapprehension, and
in order to show there was no ill-will
they insisted that he return.
This being the case, he consented.
and the late desperate combatants
We'd with each other in handsome
apologies for their apparently hasty
proceedings. 1t made the victim feel
so important he ordered gin rickies
for the crowd. All was convivialitv
and harmony till a game Of poker
was started. Then came the cyclone,
tiercer and wilder than before.
The air fairly sizzled with oaths.
blood-curdling threats were shrieked
and bowie knives and revolvers were
brought out once more. When the
long siX-shooter came on deck the
Chicago man gave cry like a lost
soul, took one running jump clear
through the screen, not unlike a cir
Gus performer, and was lost in the
darkness.
No explanations would reassure
him. He put in the rest of the night
packing his samples. and the next
morning shook the dust of Texas
from his trembling feet, leaving a
clear field to Milwaukee's enterprise
ing salesman.

WANTED MONEY, NOT MORALS
story of the Cynicism of the Late La
Hung Chang Told by IA Well
known Promoter,

The late Eugene StanislaS Kostzka
de MitkiewicZ used to tell story of the
cynicism of Ii Hung Chang, says the
New York Times. Mitkeiwicz, a pro-
fessional promoter" spent some of
the best years of his life in an unsuc-
cessful attempt to engineer the estab-
lishment of a great ChinoAmerican
bank. Millions were involved, and it
was necessary to secure the favor of
Earl Ii. MitkiewicZ obtained an inter-
view with him, and explained his
scheme. The Chinaman listened grave
ly.
at is lSilanthropic plan, is it not ?"
he said at length. You desire by
means of this bank to bring about
moral and social reforms in my coun-
try, 1 suppose. You wish to ciyiiize
us, to save our souls"
"We wish to do nothing of the kind"
answered the adventurer. This is
simply and solely a commercial enter
prise. We don't care a rap for your
morals, and may say for myself, per-
sonally, that it is matter of supreme
Indifference to me whether any of your
souls are saved or not"
Lis almond eyes twinkled.
"Ah," he said, you are not like other
Europeans who come to China. They
are all interested in our moral well
being. You say you want merely to
make money. 1t is strange. I have
heard of such men before, but till now
l have never met European who had
not the spiritual good of China at
heart "

will try to find the man, think we are
bona tides," he remarked. 81 am
afraid we cannot give you any other,
seeing, as | have said, that we are both
poor men. If you are prepared to take
up our case, we shall be under life
long gratitude to you, but if you cam
not, we must endeavor to find some one
else who will undertake the task"
''It is impossible for me to decide
now whether l can take it up or not"

There was silence for a few mo-
ments, and then Kitwater, who had
been holding his usual mysterious
communications with his friend, said:
"When do you think you will be able
to let us have an answer?"
"That depends upon variety of
circumstances" | replied. ut is a

''In that case we should be prepared

Kitwater replied. Il hope you do not
think, Mr.. Fairfax, that we are endeav-
oring to play you false? You can see
for yourself that our injuries are per-

Her rrnmIsed Doll.

This is the story they tell Of cum
ming little five-year-old girl whose
nurse had been promising her all
summer a little coon doll when the
family reached the city, if she would
be very good and obedient. This was
a delightful promise, and the little
girl was as good as a little tive-year-
old could be. Then the family came
back to the city a little earlier than
usual, and something interesting hap
pened-a brand-new baby came to the
house. 1t was funny, red-faced lit
tie creature, which only a loving
mother and experienced nurse could
possibly consider beautiful, but it
was a great thing for the little girl,
who had never before in her short
life seen a real live baby. "There is
a great surprise for you," said the
nurse, taking the five-year-old up
stairs, where the little new sister was
lying snuggled up under canopy of
muslin and ribbons what do you
think of that?" she continued, lift
ing the little girl so that she could
see the funny little face on the white
pillow. And the little girl was as
much pleased as everyone had ex-
pected she would be. She gave the
nurse a big hug as she cried: 20,
nursie, is that my coon doll?"-N. Y.
