The Life Giving Compound That Wives
and Mothers Most Need in May.

Paine's Celery Compound does
wondrous work for sick and half dead
women in May. The conditions of winter
have been detrimental to the health of
women and girls everywhere; they have
declined in nervous vigor, the blood is
reeking with impurities, the excretory
organs do not perform their work, and
the digestive machinery is sadly out OF
gear. The human machine must be
cleansed. repaired, and strengthened in
May. Paine's Celery Compound does the
work surprisingly fast, and gives guar
antee of permanent health and long life.
1t is the one spring medicine that truly
nourishes, regulates, and invigorates the
entire nervous system, from the brain
to the minutest nerve fllament. It gives
a full, rich supply Of energizing blood,

PLEASURE RESORT.
Shawnee Preparing to Entertain Her
Citizens and Visitors.

Guthrie, o. r. May 15-At various times
during a few years past there has been
talk of establishing a suburban pleasure
resort at some of the eligible points on
the river or some of the near by lakes.
but not until within the past ten days.
when Messrs. Borah & Tuttle took the
matter up. did it take a tangible form,
says the Juill..
While the grounds will be provided
with attractions and pleasure producing
devices, the river between the city and
that point is to be utilized and a beauti-
ful launch 30 feet long and feet wide,
with a capacity of carrying fifty people,
and to be run by two gasoline engines, is
nov being constructed and will ply be-
tween the foot of Highland avenue and
the dam, the depth of water for that dis
tance being amplS to float such a craft
at any time during the summer months.

have concentrated action in all parts of
the territory in the statehood matter.
1t is considered advisable to call party
leaders from various localities in Okla
homa together in order that there may be
a distinct idea in regard to the statehood
question and that every party man in the
territory may understand what is being
done in the effort TO secure statehood.
1t is the consensus Of opinion now
among men who have looked over the
situation that statehood at the next ses-
sion of congress is an assured thing and
that the best possible kind Of a state
hood bill should be drafted. 1t is not
proposed to change the Republican plat
form in this matter. but it is probable
that resolutions will be drafted or that
some similar action will be taken.
It is believed that now is the time to
act in regard to statehood and for this
reason the committee will be called to-
eyether.

THE EARS.

Large ears. dropping at the top, be-
long to persons more animal than hu-
man.
In human beings of low or debased
mental standard the ears are large and
fiabby. Note those of idiots, cretins,
etc.
Ears in which the hem" is fat, as If
smoothed down with a fiatiron, accom-
pany a vacillating mind and cold, unro-
mantle disposition.
When there is no lobe and the ear
widens from the bottom upward, the
owner is of a selfish, cunning and re-
vengeful disposition.
Large round ears with a neat "hem'
around their border, well carved, not
fat, indicate a strong will and a bull
dog tenacity Of purpose.
When the ear is oval in form, with
the lobe slightly but distinctly marked
it indicates for its owner a lofty ideal
ity, combined with a morbidly sensi
tive nature.
The person who has an ear with g
rounded, ovate top is almost without
exception one with a placid disposition
and a nature that pines to love and be
loved in return.

USES FOR NETrLEs.
they Are Good to Eat and Furnish
Thread and CIGthins.


There was a time once when the
common nettle was not the usually de-
spised weed 1t is now. People did not
root 1t out of existence or shun it as a
nuisance, but cultivated it for use as
food, for clothing and for paper manu-
facture.
1t certainly does not look inviting as
a food. and yet during the Irish famine
hundreds Of poor people existed entire
Iy on it, cooking the young plant as
greens. There was method of blanch-
ing it by "earthing up" as is now used
for sea kale.
Animals, while refusing to touch the
growing nettle, devour it eagerly when
made into hay, and in Russia, Sweden
and Holland it is moved several times
a year for fodder.
The common name given to the nettle
In some languages means chat with
which one sews," for tie fiber was
used as a thread several Centuries ago.
In Kamchatka the natives use the
Thread for fishing lines and cordage. In
France 1t is used for paper. In Hindu
stan and China it is woven into grass
cloth, and the Scotch have prepared,
spun and woven it into as good linen
as the fax makes
The Chinese nettle yields a fiber as
soft as silk, and there is now in Dres-
den a "China grass" mandatory de-
voted to the industry of weaving cloth
from this and the common nettle.-

A Naturn1 wenther vane.

It was an old belief that if the pre-
served body of a halcyon or kingfsher
were suspended by a thread from the
ceiling its bill would always turn to-
ward the quarter from whence the
wind was blowing.
Thus Barabas in Marlowe's Jew Of
Malta" says:
But now how stands the wind?
Into what quarter peeps my halcyon's
bnl2
Hal To the east? Yes"
Shakespeare also alludes to It in
"King Lear" when Kent in his reply to
Cornwall rebukes those who
Turn their halcyon's .beaks
With every gale and vary OF their mas
ters.'
In more modern days a stuffed king
fisher has been seen hanging from the
beam Of cottage ceiling at Botley,
near Southampton, and in other places
Of that neighborhood, where there is a
kindred belief that if a dead kingfisher
is hung up by its beak its breast will
turn with the ebb and flow Of the tide.

Cassius NJ. clay as a Fighter.

General Cassius NJ. Clay fought many
duels in his day, usually with his long
bladed knife, meeting pistol or rife
equally with that trusty weapon. His
physical strength was gigantic. He
was accustomed TO the use Of weapons,
and he was always cool and never lost
his Judgment. For example, when an
adversary shot him and he supposed he
was done for he inflated his lungs to
the full, conscious that he would live
as long as he could hold his breath;
then be drew his knife and did his
bloody work That was when he killed
Turner. After all, speaking musingly,
reviewing his life. he confessed to a re-
porter when he was above eighty-four
that he was opposed on principle TO the
duel, thinking it a savage way to settle
a difficulty. But there are some cases
for which it seems to be the only rene
dy," he added.

CATCHING AN EDITION.
A Reporters Efforts to Get HIS story
on the Wire.

News of the blowing up and sinking
Of steamboat on the Ohio river reach
ed the office Of Pittsburg paper one
evening some years ago. The city edi-
tor sent a young reporter out on a
search for the facts. The search de-
veloped into an adventure such as any
newspaper man aay tumble into at
any hour of the day or night Worlds
Work tells the story:
He hurried|to the station and caught
the first westward bound express.
When the train had started, he learned
that it did not stop within sixty miles
of his destination.
A cautious hint from a Pullman por-
ter apprlS id him of the presence Of a
division superintendent on the train,
and In a few minutes he received an
order from the conductor to stop the
train for him.
Reaching the station late at night be
asked the telegraph operator to remain
until he returned. Then he walked
several miles, got his 'story" and hur-
ried back to the station, only to find
that the operator had disregarded his
request and closed the Office
Time was creeping into the morning
hours and he had the prospect of all
his work coming to naught unless he
secured an operator to get the story to
his newspaper Office. He tramped
about the dark village and found that
the operator lived several miles away.
Unsympathizing country folk could not
be induced to rouse themselves.
Thinking hard, the young reporter
walked back and forth on the platform
Of the station. Huddled against the
station he saw the sleeping form Of a
tramp. He kicked the hobo and Of
fered him S5 to make the trip for the
operator.
The man got to his feet.
"Do you want an operator?"
ayes"
"Well, I'm a bum, but I was an
operator. If you can get into that sta
ton, I'll send your stuff, but / won't
touch a door or a window myself
Knowing that the newspaper would
gladly pay damages. the reporter took
a cudgel, broke the window and clam
bered in. The tramp clicked of the
story, and it reached the Office in time
to so to press.

ResourcefuI Major POND.

Major Pond was never upset in diff
culties. Once he was travelling with
Ian Maclaren. There was a break
down on the railway and the prospect
of a lecture engagement being missed
and $1,000 lost. What he did was to
telegraph a long and merry message to
the audience about the breakdown, say
ing he and Ian Maclaren would be ar
irving not more than half an hour late.
Singing was provided to entertain the
audience. When the half hour was up
in came another telegram more cheer
full than ever, saying that they were
coming along and that Ian Maclaren
was determined to lecture to that au-
dience If all the railways in the world
had broken down.
The Americans are an emotional peo-
pie, and they were interested. Every
twenty minutes in came a fresh tele-
gram with something funny and bright
about 1t and always declaring that the
great novelist was advancing. II vas
