him to burn his ships behind and
that $4,000 is not too high for SC

Good spirits don't all come from
Kentucky. Their main source is
the liver-and all the fine spirits
ever made in the Blue Grass State
could not remedy a bad liver or the
hundred-and one i'll effects it pro
duces. You can't have good
spirits and a bad liver at the same
time. Your liver must be in fine
condition if you would feel buoy
ant, happy and hopeful, bright of
eye, light of step, vigorous and sue
cessful in your pursuits. You can
put your liver in fine condition by
using Green's August Flower-the
greatest of all medicines for the
liver and stomach and a certain
cure for dyspepsia or Indigestion.

sIpEWALK CLUB

DlDIl w MN ~@FO
The South McAlester Capital, in
an article OH sidewalks, offers some
suggestions that apply equally well
TO Chickasha. 1t is not supposed
that the suggestion will be needed
here or elsewhere, but a little agi-
tation now and then can do no
harm. The Capital says:
There is something besides com
fort for yourself and neighbor in
building walks, for permanent
walk is an enhancement to the val
he Of the property; it is an indica-
ton Of your progressiveness.
The Capital has III vain sought
to secure municipal legislation af-
fecting sidewalks, but has met with
the antiguated Arkansas laws as
applied here in which the desired
authority is not given.
II IS then evident TO all that ex-
ample is the only succor left in
the case, persuasion and law hav-
ing failed TO reach the proper senti-
ment.
Perhaps sidewalk club, in
which owners of property in a
block by banding together and
sharing the cost and building uni
form walks, is the best suggestion
yet offered. 1t requires but one
man to lead. Neighbors will
folsow. Organization can be per
fected. the quality Of walk deter
mined and by Jumping the entire
couS Struction work 10 a single con-
tractor secure the minimum cost
of the improvement.
The example is bouud to become
contagious. 1t will grow like the
spring painting craze when one
man opens the movement by max
ing his neighbor's $ house appear to
a disadvantage by Frightening up
ais own.
Let South McAlester try the
sidewalk club and if it fails then
the public will be assured that we
are attempting to discourage the
art Of walking along a restricted
pathway and prefer the middle of
the road.

Said the grocery man to the
butchez man, it is a sin that you
buy your salt on the wholesale
plan and don let me handle any
Of the tin. He thenhied him back
TO the store and quicrse' an order
was sent for a few choice hams for
the family use and a box of fish
for lent. Said the clothing man TO
the hardware man, you certainly
don't do right when you buy your
suit of all eastern house with my
stock in sight. But the clothier
wanted new steel range, and it
came as the neighbors knew, in a
box which he tried to hide in the
barn, marked Sears, Roebuck &
Co. The business men held a
meeting to see where the trouble
lay, and they agreed twas the edi-
tor, and not the devil TO pay. Why
don he roast the department stores
and peddling fakirs they said, and
stand by those who patronize him
and give him his daily bread. So
they drew up a contract loud and
strong for the editor 10 peruse, and
waited on him with,aspect grim as
he solmenly dug for news. But the
editor laughed with big horse
laugh till the gang all took TO the
woods. The contract was written
OIL axle grease letter heads that
had come with a bill of goods. -Ex.
An Atchison man was arrested
recently, the Globe says, and the
next morning he had a smart law
yer in the police court to defend
him. The lawyer brought lot
Of law books, and brought up one
reason after another to show why
the defendant was not guilty. He
launched technicality after techni-
cally at the judge, who idgeted
and looked first in one direction
and then i'll. the other. Finally
Judge Jackson said Here, stop
that. IN tired of it. If a man
thinks this only thing he needs to
do to escape justice in this court
is to hire a lawyer for SIS, he is
mistaken. This court cares moth
ing about the Ninth Illinois, or the
Seventh Massachusetts, or sixteentI
California;. This is a plain, ordinh-
airy plug case of the defendant be-
ing guilty, ana me MN p5o.
The real hero of the day is the
fellow that knocks two home runs
in a single game and who with dar-
ing intrepidity and no thought of
his stomach, slid all the way from

danced the cah-can and tossed their
hats at the sun. Compared with

COURT ENDS.
The Present Term of Court Has Been
One of Great Interest.

The three weeks term of superior
The docket was cleared of all criminal
cases Friday and yesterday was de-
voted to the motion docket. All of The
eases that came up were of small
Importance.
There has been no term of court mere
in recent years when there were cases
Of such prominence to come up as the
term just ended. For months before
court convened there was much spec
ulation as to what would be the out
come in the Terry murder case The
fnal ending of that noted case is Ia
miliar to the readers of this paper.
Another batch of important cases
were those brought by the Law n
Order League against a number Of
women charged with keeping disCr-
derby houses and selling whiskey
without license.
These cases also came to a abrupt
ending after loosing nearly a week in
trying several of them. About q
week was lost in the Terry trial.
Although civil cases were supposed
to have been tried at the past term OF
were tried, and an attorney stated
yesterday that he did not believe the
civil docket would be reached until
after the next legislature met n re-
pealed the present law providing for
the manner of holding court in this
county.
The next term of Jul convenes here
on April 4th. AS in the present case
there will be two terms. the first last
ing one week and the other two weeks
Judge Ferguson Will also hold this
