d.:.p. NIGHT

Come, Night. upon thy raven wings
Plumed with their rich imagfnfngs
To NIL dreams and charm
The din and clamor of the day.
Fling thy deep shadow over me
Till by thy weird necrOmancy
Thou hast dissolved this solid ~
And made 1t shapeless with the air.
Come like stealing shadow dung
From leafy branches OVerhung
In this oasis of the
Where for little while I stray.
Come with thy cup of dreams and be
An angel ministering to
AS who. weak from battling Hes
Unconquered, but too to rise.
The warrior. Day. has harried me-
foeman pitiless is he.
Yet vanQufShed when. with plying
And palm of peace thou comest nigh.
Come with thy velvet darkness Night
Thy cloak of mail soft and light
Yet turning every missile sent
From Care, as falls spent.
Come with thy wealth OF twinkling gems
OF dreams, and on diadems
Like jewels set In my bended knee
Let me fall down and worship thee.
Come. Night upon thy raven wings.
Plumed with their rich imaginings
And through the gathered darkness keep
The vigil of thy sister, Sleep.

old-fashioned as not to be re-
membered save by few old-timers,
is the ''casaque," says the Philadelphia
Ledger. Shorter than the redingote or
pelisse, it is no longer than the ancient
basquine, but resembles both. 1t is cut
to fit and may be worn either open or
closed. The sleeves-of medium width
are loose or shirred into bands. The
skirt of the coat or casaque, while close
at about the waistline falls at the bot
tom in a sort of organ plait effect. 1t
is a wrap especially adapted to the
autumn. One such is in pearl gray
zibeline, lined with white satin. 1t is
plain, but has Directoire revers that
form folds across the bust in the CEN
ter, and the same fold effect is repeated
on the sleeves. 1t is severely plain, but
the quality of the zibeline and satin is
such that a very handsome and expen-
sive garment results from the combina-
ton. There are, however, several hand

down the front.

tions that an unskilled person cannot

already manufactured the goods for
the coming spring and summer of 1905

Pretty Northern GirIs-

When girl is pretty in the South, %
said traveller from Dixie, "she is very
pretty" But the average is not nearly
so good looking as in the North.
Really good looking girls are. the ex-
ception, but there are certainly some
beauts. In the North almost every
girl you meet would pass as a pretty
girl, but in the South there are some
awful frights. They appear to be
tired out and lack all interest or en-
thusiasm. Even the beauties are the

leaves that country before the per
formance Of such servics, comes to the

George IS made Of good well seasoned
material and from his looks this morning
he Is good for at least twenty more years
of active life.

a scalding heat and in a few days the
whole business will be boiling over and

ming around loose shaking the horny
handed son of toll by the hand and telling
him that he would be only too glad If
he would kindly remember the aforesaid
candidate at the primaries. The candi-
dates OF both parties positive that if
nominated they will be elected.
The Republicans of Canadian county
were never in better trim than they are
this year with three newspapers behind
them to boost their claims, there Is no
reason why they should not elect their
whole ticket from councillor to road over
seer without the slightest trouble: that is.
providing they select men who have had
good records in the past.
One of the leading Republicans in this
county, man who has never held an
office and who could not be induced to
accept one. told the writer that If the fol-
lowing named gentlemen would consent
to allow their names to be printed on the
ticket all the Democrats this side of the
Kansas line could not beat them:
Councillor W. \. Maurer; representa-
tive. c \. Bannister; sheriff. c. s. Faust;
probate judge, J. E. Johnson; county at
torney. James NJ. Frame; treasurer. j. r.
Jones; county clerk. / Outright; register
of deeds. Dayton Munsell; superintendent
Of instruction, Nora DeBaun.
The candidates mentioned above are all
good citizens of the county and If nomi-
mated their election is assured OF course
there are other good men and capable
who may be named and elected.
In opposition to the Republicans the fol-
lowing Democrats are willing TO sacrifice
themselves for the great good OF the peo-
pie. They are all good men. but as this
IS n Republican year they will only fur
nish very light amusement for the gentle
men on the Republican side OF the house.

MAxEY is TALKA1ivE.
Is in the Barking Business and Will
Remain There

Guthrie O. T, April 29.-J- H Maxey OF
Shawnee, one OF the leading candidates
for the Democratic nomination for dele
gate in congress- and who was recently
reported by his home paper as having
disposed OF all his bank stock with the
intention OF opening his barrel for use
in the campaign, was in Guthrie today
examining the Jones fences and fixing
his own
AIR. Maxey laugher heartily about that
report and said that he was still pres
ident of the First National Bank of
Shawnee, and instead of getting out Of
the banking business he was getting in
deeper. He said when the bank at Nc
Loud failed he went over there and put
money in the institution and reopened
it. He thought bank failures hurt the
community and the best thing was 10
uphold them. He said he owned stock
III severai other banks and had no no
ton at present of going out of the bus
ines.
Mr. Maxey claims to be a business man
and not a politician, although he has had
some experience in office holding. He
was born and raised in the state of Ten-i
nessee and came TO Missouri in 1868 He
d member of the constitution con-
vention in 1875 He practiced law at West
Plains in that state for twenty-five years
and served one term as judge of the dis
trict court.
He came TO Oklahoma at the first open
ing and went into the banking business.
He has been successful and today is
counted one of the rich men in OklahO-
ma. He is modest and does not make any
display of his wealth He says he is
going to make an honest effort to get
the nomination and, if successful, he is
going TO do his utmost to be elected.
Speaking OF the issues of the coming
campaign, Mr.. Maxey conceded that it
would be an expensive fight for the DEM
ocratic nominee solely for the honor.
He said that by the time McGure's pres
ent term was ended the bill sent to the
senate for the admission of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory as one state would be
passed ana that the delegate elected this
fall would have nothing to do with it.
He seemed to thing that so far as state
difference whether Oklahoma had a rep
resentative III congress, as that body had /
never paid any attention to the demands /
of OklahoMa's representative in the mat /
ter of statehood and he thought it never /
would.

this alarmed the Jones following. Judge
Dale had to come out in a letter deny
ing that he was a candidate for con-
gress or any other office. The Parker men
are evidently not in the push in Okla
honla, and the Hearst followers will carry
the territorial convention with a whoop.
The convention may not instruct, but the
delegates vii all be for Hearst, just the
same.
Leslie Niback, of the Guthrie Leader,
and Roy Stafford, of the Oklahoman, OF

the Hearst boom in charge, and they
Will compel men like Bob Neff and Judge
Dale, who have come out for Parker, 10
partake of nice dish of crow after the
convention meets. 1t is a matter Of fact
that the average Democrat in Oklahoma
is not able 10 tell which he admires the
least. a Cleveland Democrat or a Re
publican
