The Enid. Okla Eagle man evil
IDENTIFY proposed while riding behind
gentle "hoss," said "hoss' peram-
bulating peacefully along a shady road
in the suburbs meanwhile. He says:
They say that buggy riding Is con.
duciye to tender feelings, we don
see how it could very well help being
so When a young man in a soap
dish hat and polkadotted socks drives
nm in his sidebar buggy in front oil
the house where she lives, and she
comes to the door all rigged out IN
things which we haven't time TO emu
merate and trips down to the front
stems and the young man just tosses
her into the narrow seat and gets IN
beside her and taps the horse with the
whip. while the buggy quiYers like a
thing of life and a JOY forever, ana
she snuggles up to him like a tame
gazelle or a kitten to a hot brick, and
does all in her power to soothe ana
sustain the tenderest feelings of the
Young man beside her who doesn
know by this time but every minute
will be the next one, we don't see why
buggy riding should not be conducive
to the tenderest feelings Of anything
extant. Horseback riding Is cold ant
distant. 1t is buggy riding that Il
conducive, and the longer the ride anS
the more lonely the road the more
conducive il is.

A LIGHTNING CHANGE ACT
A Bold Attempt to Defraud the Gov.
ernment Discovered.
Proxies BEING Furnished for Chinese
ordered DcpOrted by United
states Courts.

San Francisco, Sept ia bold at,
tempt has just been discovered to de-
fraud the government by shipping
back to China, on the steamer Gaelic,
six imposters in place of six Chinese
who were ordered deported by United
States District Judge De Haven. One
arrest has been made In the case, and
others will follow shortly. More sem
gRtional developments are expected, as
it Is believed the government has
stumbled upon the work of a ring.
It is the contention of the govern
ment officials that the six genuine Chi
nese were in the county Jail Friday
morning, and that they were removed
from there at seven o'clock by a dep
uty United States marshal, and taken
in hack to the Pacific Mail dock
From there they were placed safely or
board the steamer Gaelic Five hours
later the men could not be found, bu
in their stead were imposters in nj
way resembling them in appearance.
At a late hour Friday night the Of
ficials were in the dark so far as hav
ing any knowledge as to how thi
lightning change came about.

A Brilliant LAWYER,

Whistler's death recalls the famous
libel suit he brought against Ruskin
The most amusing feature Of it was
the exhibition in court of some Of the
"nocturnes" and arrangements
which were the subject of the suit.
The jury of respectable citizens, whose
knowledge of art was probably Inn
tied. was expected to pass Judgment
on these paintings, Mr. Whistler
counsel held up one Of the pictures.
Here, gentlemen" said he is one
Of tho works which have been ma
| ligned,' p.
Pardon me" interposed MIR, Rus
llin's lawyer. you have that picture
upside down"
mo such thing.
"Oh. but it is so" continued Rus
llins counsel. Il remember it in th'
Grosvenor gallery where it was huhl
the other way about"
The alteration ended in the correct
ness of view of RuslSin's lawyer nelnI
sustained, and the fact that Mr.. WINS
Tiers own counsel did not know whlc
was the top or bottom of the pictur
had more to do with Ruskin's victor
than all the arguments of counsel
