THE CONCERT.
Undoubtedly The Finest Concert
Ever Given in Chiclzasha.

Mrs Arderly is a sweet WON
an, with sweeter voice" said a
music lover last evening after
the concert. The words may
seem to express faint praise
for what was undoubtedly the
finest concert ever given in this
city, but it was the expression Of
one abundantly able to Judge
and who thoroughly appreciated
every number. Mrs. Ardery
held her audience spell bound
from the opening to the last
note. Her presence is easy and
graceful, her voice clear and
wonderfully expressive, show
ing the highest training and yet
in the most difficult parts there
is no hint Of effort. If it be
lart to conceal art, Mrs. Ardery
has the gift Of a Master.
Mr.. Roy Winton, who accom-
panied the sweet singer, though
young, is gifted, and his work
last night showed fine training,
He promises to be one OF the
leading pianists in America.
The two gifted people should
return to Chickasha, and if they
will, a crowded house viii bt
assured.

Thorny and devious are the ways of
governors and those who rule in high
places. Fierce are the torments, few
indeed the pleasures. "
In Nebraska nothing Is quite so ex-
cruciating as the continual petitioning
for pardons. Appeals for executive
clemency make the existence of a ten
der hearted governor bereft of joy.
There is only one thing that win
compare with it. That is the initial
apportionment Of the offices immedi
ately after the new executive takes
his chair. But few months and this
is all over. The pardonins nightmare
remains aye and forever.
Petitions and communications are
always present and there is scarcely
a day but that som&si = comes to the
Office of Governor Mage to pour
forth some plea for 1lfercy and it is
the same old story.
Perhaps the most ancient method Of
securing or attempting to secure n
pardon is for some feminine member
Of the household to set out for the
capital and, arriving there, make pleas
for mercy tabled in Sunday school lit
erature from time immemorial When
the prison gates do not promptly
spring back, letting the prisoner free,
there is chagrin and disappointment.
But pardon seekers never let up. The
pleading and petitioning go on con-
tinually. 1t is true test of loyalty to
the imprisoned or condemned one, but
it is decidedly wearing on the COVER
nor who has to listen to 1t all over
and over again. when he should be
doing something else.

by the worried executive. Newly dis
covered syidence proves the innocence
of the prisoner. In other words. the
governor is asked to set aside the con-
clusions of the jury on the testimony
of a parent or friend. OF course this
is asking a great deal. Reformation,
dire poverty Of family or dependent
ones and malicious foes who prosecute
without provocation are other excuses.
Sick prisoners have been pardoned and
afterwards miraculously restored to
health, although they went through
the prison gates to die. And so on ad
infinitum.
Wives and sweethearts journey to
Lincoln to see the governor in person.
after wasting valuable postage stamps
in incoherent written appeals. In the
Office they weep copiously, much to the
keen distress of the governor. AS a
man he cannot help feeling extremely
sorry, while as a governor his official
oath demands that he remain ex-
tremely firm.

without a thorough examination Of the
facts. Sometimes the prisoners they
want released are really a menace to
the safety Of the public. Yet the par
don or parole must come, else the gov-
ernor is portrayed as a man devoid o.
feeling.
In the season when executions a
expected the life of the executive is
one hideous dream. On one hand is
the verdict of the courts. On the other
is a vast and discordant clamor raised
by the friends and enemies Of the cor
demned one. OF late Governor Savags
has been enduring a siege over the
Rhea proposition, while the campaign
which led to the late pardon of BARLEY
was one of the most tedious in thc
history Of the state.
This will probably be changed some
bright day. Already there is a decided
drift in public sentiment towards a
board of pardons composed of three or
five state officers. This body would of
course hold formal sessions and the
strain and worry of the pardon busi-
ness would be shifted from the sfoul-
ders Of the executive.

used. each one being numbered. Laid
out on a table three colors, generally
red. green and pink are sorted out by
themselves. From the rest of the pile
the candidate Is asked to select the
various shades OF each of the three
colors. The greatest confusions result
over the blues and the greens, almost
all the men who fail selecting blues as
some shade Of green. Many confusions
occur also over the variations of red.
When the candidates get through with
the yarn and all its multitude OF colors
they have yet a letter test At a dis
tance OF twenty feet they are required
to read letters of different sizes, first
with one eye and then with the other.
