And their virtues fam would rehearse;
But whenever they budged they were sadly msjudged

And the servants vexed with the question
What next
Will that Cecil and Ceestine do?
At the first flush of morning they woke with a wall
Which they kept up in relays till night
They caught the Angora and twisted her tail.
And tumbled downstairs with delight.
If the duo of cherubs silent awhile,
1t simply meant future unrest
They plotting things dire or starting fire.
Or robbing the medicine chest
When Cecil hit sister, then sister would scream
With the voice of a banshce in PAIN
Then she'd fall upon Cecil and rageullv wreste
Till inantile Babel would reign
If they went for a ramble with Pansy the nurse,
They shouted for everything near
They wanted an auto, push-cart a hearse
brewery dray loaded with beer
And when refused them the wish of their hearts
Their keen disappointment was plain
And again they gave vent to a fearful lament
Like the voice of banshec in pain
Their mother would say: "They have sensitive souls
You're harsh with them, Pansv indeed
But the nurse, when alone would remark with moan
Its good Irish shpankin' they need"
One morning two strangers arrived in the town
Glum Charlie and Snckering 10
They were filed with the zeal of a business deal

4 Noted Lecturer
Rev. Anna Shaw's Remarkable
Carcer-Coming to Chickasha

The career Of Rev. Anna Howard
Shaw Of Philadelphia, who will
lecture in Chickasha, Dec. 18th at
Curnegie Hall is one Of the most
striking anomalies of society's
dealings with women.
During the eight yeart in which
Miss Shaw was studying in Boston
University She had rendered most
acceptable service as a local min
lister in tie Methodist Episcopal
church. The church freely grant
ed her a license, and her labors
were always i'll demand. but when
with her theological diploma in
hand She asked for ordination in
this same New England Conference
that She had served so acceptably,
She was refused OH account Of her
sex. She appealed to the General
Conference, but this body only CON
frmed the sex prejudice of its New
England branch. Nobody ques-
toned her consummate genius, her
piety, her ability to preach sermons
and manage congregations; but
there are limitations inherent in
the nature of things, and SO or
dInation was refused this woman
preacher. The bishop under whom
She had labored all these years was
in sympathy with her. and when
the ordination ceremony was re
fused, she turned to him and said,
Bishop, what would you do if
you were in my place." He re-
piled, II would 60 to a church
that would ordain me. She fol-
lowed his advice and in a few
months was ordained in the Meth
] odist Protestant church, in which
she is still a member of the New
York Conference.
She is an eloquent speaker, and
charms her audiences everywhere
by her brilliant mental attainments
and personal magnetism. She is
equally charming off the platform,
and wins adherents wherever she
goes. Her hosts of admirers claim
that they have the greatest woman
orator in the United States for
their President.

According TO recent statement we

approximately 5000 900 of this invest

amount of work represented by this

are not allowing the states interests to

The japanese will probably follow up

the fleet has been accomplished which
will enable them to transport troops
with safety into the Gulf of Pechili the
time is certainly opportune for such an
attack and the bombardment of yes

that their opportunity has come. All the
advantage lies now with the Japanese.

All hopes of the early construction of

till matters in litigation between the

of immediate relief more promising
than the construction of the Lewiston

at this time would materially hasten

The citizens of Lewiston are to be
congratulated over the selection of
this city for the democratic conven-
ton next August, and they owe
great deal to the untiring efforts of
the Lewiston delegation in securing
the honors. Lewiston has had an en-
viable reputation as a convention city
and will be prepared this fall to en-
terrain the visitors in better form
than ever. The new opera house will
prove a splendid auditorium for the
meeting and Lewistous new hotels
will afford ample accommodations for
all who will visit the city at that time.
The convention itself promises to de-
velop an interesting contest within
party lines which will make it an en-
tertainment of merit for Lewiston
citizens. The best results will come
however from the advertisement the
city will get throughout the state.
from the hundreds of visitors from
various sections who will be in at
tendance and will carry the news OF
the progress and thrift of the city to
their several homes.

The Hearst boom continues to

made such bad guess when he said
recently that the democratic delegates
from this state would be instructed
for the man of jaundice newspaper

to grow and prosper exceedingly. If
there is one thing that could swell
