THE UNUELCOME GUEST.
Some Of the Dcrices RcsoricG To IN

There are various kinds Of guests. as city folk

the heated summer season
Generally speaking. guests may be divided
into two great classes-the welcome and the
unwelcome- To entertain the former is easy.
Simply give him the best you have on the
other hand the problem Of getting rid Of a
guest who has thrust himself upon you with
out leave or asking is sometimes very difficult
One must treat such an individual with coUr-
tesy as long he is within ones house, and
yet one feels that in speaking graciously and
smiling pleasantly one is acting out a false
hood which only makes matters worse

who came upon him in the guise Of dear
friend OF his grandmother. After she had been
in the house about a week, and had talked

the most awkward pauses. He finds it impos-

Jim Hunter hit some of his Demo-
cratic friends pretty hard at the Demo-
cratic love feast the other night. He
said he was not at all ashamed to
mention the name of Grover Cleveland
as he was the only president the Dem
ocrats had elected in 40 years and they
had elected him twice and he was quite
proud Of that act. The principal OBJ
lection which western Democrats had
against Grover Cleveland. was his
position on the money quetsIon and as
that is an Issue, which while not
dead, is not pertinent at the present
time. Cleveland does not look bad to
thousands of Democrats. We don't love
him particularly. never did, but it is
questionable if it is good for party to

Timely aIvice is given by many
physicians to be careful of ones health
during the month of March. as that is
the month that LaGrippe gets i'll its
work, oftentimes fatal. Here is
some of the advice. and as it is worth
while we take pleasure in in giving
it:
l. Keep away from alcoholic drinks
q Battle frequently in tepid or
cold water.
3. Sleep at least seven hours every
night.
4. Do not make the mistake of
thinking that the only way of catch
ing the grip is by germs.
g. Make everybody destroy infec
clothing.
6. Keep your wraps and overshoes
with you.
Z. Don't overeat.

ask for it. Good men will stand
back and let these place hunters
get favored places, because they
don't propose to beg for the NOM

tickets in Mesa county have had
to carry the burden of incompe-

at MuskOgee.

Those Of our people who have had
business relations with the Frisco rail
way will regret TO learn that Mr.. II.
Z. Harkrider, The local agent, is going
to leave this station very soon. He
has been given the agency for the same
company at Muskogee and enters his
new field as soon as the company can
send an auditor here and arrange for
the transfer.
Mr. Harkrider and family are popu-
lar in Yinita, and are valuable ac-
cession to any community and Musko-
gee is to be congratulated on account
of this transfer.
The expectation is that Vinita sta
tion viii be placed in charge Of Mr..
w. II. Decker, at present agent for
the Frisco at Fairland, who is said to
be good railroad man.
Eight or ten years ago Mr. Harkri-
der was in the employ Of the Katy
and was checked in at his first station
with that company by W. B. Coley, Of
