BY A BOY.

The following article is sclipped from
one of our Western exchanges. 1t is
o reply to piece on "If | we're a
girl which we clipped and misplAc.
ed. II we can fiod it, We will repro.
duce it later. We hope, however,
that some bright girl will reply to
this end tell the boys how nicely she
would behave if she were boy.
You are always hearing girl say
what she would do if she was boy;
but you don't often hear boy say
what he would do if he was girl.
guess we are afraid Of hurting their
feelings. But the girl must pardon
me for coming to the front just once
and saying I know what I would do,
or rather l know some things would
not do if I was girl.
would try to avoid the giggling
age. I'm awful glad that's left out of
boys nature, it's disgusting. When
girls get thirteen or fourteen and think
they are nearly grown then the dis
ease takes 'cm. Everything that's
said, whether it 8 solemn Or not, they
ggglc. In short they gigglc inccs-
sanity. And if two or three of 'em
get together on a railway train or
street car, the malady assumes its
worst form, and it ia awful.
wouldn't talk loud if l were
girl, especially in a crowd. You see
lot OF girls get together and begin
chattering and you hear every word
they say for quartcr,of a mile, moro
or less. and none Of them are deaf
either; neither is what they are saying
especially edifying, though everybody
stops to listen. They have to, for
they can't hear their own ears, tbs
useless to try to do anything else
unless we rush to the smoker and find
relief in cigar-then they condemn
US for smoking.
I've been in assemblies where
something ought to have been done
with girls for disturbing public peace.
If they had been boys they would
have been arrested and sent to the
"look up" Their furbelows saved
'em, however-but they didn't save
them from being talked about by the
worry fellows they were trying so hard
to attract.
I wouldn't rush to the depot every
time train came in, and stand and
stare, or say "smart'' things to pas
sengers-if were girl, yet call
themselves ladies. We boys have
another name for them, however,
which suits the occasion better.
If were girl I wouldn't follow
any fashion to such an extreme as to-
make myself uncomfortable and ridi-
culous. I wouldn't want to attract
attention at the risk Of health and
common sense.
Last, but not least, I would behave
myself when I went to Church. I
would bow my head and hold my
tongue while the preacher was pray
ing if I had to stuff my fst in my
mouth to do it.
If I we're girl would be very
careful about how / behave myself,
because being boy, I know that the
boys will be just what they are-only
heap worse.
If they1a are EAST the boys will be
reckless, H.. Ifsthey are butterflies
the boys will be "dudes." If they
are lady-like the boys will try to be
'gentlemanly. Hence if I we're girl
I'd have very high standard Of wo
manhood, and I d live up to it.

can preach only TWO hours u week, and
evil Influences are likely 10 have play

Circuit preaching is hard, bat it is
hard on the horse, not on the man.
Why, it's almost as easy to be cir
cult preacher as to be bishop, aud go
around and preach your old sermons
over and over again.
hope you each have good wife.
Ii you have not, get one, and don t
marry her because she is pious. Mar
ry her because she has good common
sense. IfT had two women to choose
from, one having common sense and
the other only religion, 1 would take
the woman with common sense; for if
person with common sense under
takes this work that person will be
religious within the next hour. Awo-
man who is only religious may back
slide, and I have no doubt but q
woman who has common sense will not
expect us TO be saints.
The "nay" of the political dark
horse is seldom heard in the land.

Nothing pleases woman so much

Weleetka. l. r. Nov. 12.-Sunday morn
ing the dead body of 3. L. Provance. a
young man . years Of age. was found
in the brush near Fair View. a colOred
settlement five miles from here. He had
been shot and his body concealed.
The colored postmaster at Fair View
named Mason, and four other negroes
have been arrested by the marshal Of
Weleetka charged with the commission
Of the crime
Provance was a well dressed young
stranger and passed through Weleetka
Friday, travelling in a wagon. with a good
team and apparently well provided. as he
carried trunk. valise. wore leggings.

erty. When the body was found only 5
cents in money remained on it.

GOVERNOR TALKS
TO STUDENTS
AIva Normal SchooI Enjoys Ex-
ecutive Visit.
PEACE HATH VICTORIES
Tendency of the Age Is
Toward Arbitration.

Alva, o. T, Nov. 12.-Gevernor T. E.
Ferguson of Guthrie, o. T.. delivered the
annual address before the Northwestern
Normal school in Alva on Tuesday night
at p. N. The address was given in the
Assembly hall which wis filed with
large audience.
Governor Ferguson gave a brief review
of the history of Greece. Rome and
Egypt and drew many practical lessons
from that source. Gne advances in civi-
lization brought about through the
agency of the sword he admitted had
been many, but he showed very con-
cIusively that peace has her victories
no less renowned than war. The ten
dency OF the age at present he noted
was altogether towards peace and an
amicable adjustment of all disputes and
MISUNDERSTANDING, and the day of the
sword-thanks to the efforts Of The
Hague tribunals thing OF the past.
The governor then paid glowing tri
butte 10 our own country and the young
and growing commonwealth of Cklaho
ma. The latter he said even at this ear
ly date had done much 1or the work OF
higher education At present Oklahoma
is said no less than seven territorial
institutions Of higher learning and nine
denominational colleges. In addition to
this Oklahoma could justly ooast OF hav-
ing 1900 of the best and most thorough
ly equipped public schools in the west.
He congratulated the people of Alva and
northwestern Oklahoma upon the success
of The Northwestern Normal school and
emphasized the fact or MS great friend
ship for this splendid institution Of
learning and his desire to see it build
up and extend in usefulness. Whenever
it needed an appropriation he said h
would urgently advocate it and would
place no obstacle in its way.
The governor remained in Ava over
Wednesday to inspect the Normal build
ing and to visit the various classes of
the school. Wednesday, night a recep-
ton was rendered him in the Normal
Assembly hall. which was attended by
all of Alva5s leading citizens.
1t is useless TO add tnat Governor Fer
guson made many friends while in Alva
and his splendid address and eloquent
words will not be soon forgotten.

FORGER HAD LEFT.
Signed d Check, Got the Money and
Disappeared.

Shawnee, Q. T. Nov. 12.-About a week
ago a real slick fellow visited Shawnee
Not that there are not plenty of slick
fellows here already. but this one was a
little slicker than the average. lie even
slid out of town after he finished his
sickness here.
one of his first actions was TO sign
a check made payable TO himself under
the name Of b. T. Jones, with the namo
OF J. W. Brooks. one of the well known
leading practitioners Of the law in this
city. This check for Sl3 he cashed at tn
]. B. Howell & Co. saloon. giving u
plausible reason for not having cashed IL
during banking hours. When Mr.. How
el presented it later at the Oklahoma
National bank. on which il was made
payable the cashier turned it down as 81
forgery. but the man who had signed it
had skipped out.
Mr.. Brooks was notified Of the forgery
and he casually mentioned it to Hardy
Botts. the saloon man. Mr. Belts eX-
claimed: why. 7 have one OF those
same checks. The fellow passed it On
me few days ago. l thought it was
good Inquiry developed the fact that
the check indorsed by Mr. Belts had
been cashed by the oklahoma Rational
the cashier noticing Mr Belts name
and knowing that name made the cheek
good. though he failed To detect the for
gerry Of AIr. Brooks name on that check.
II was for 81. Mr.. Belts described the
