TO A NEWTOWN ELn.
BY c. G., BROOKLYN.

 Imperial tree! oh, tree beloved! l ne'er can thee forget, For when boy thou sheltered me, And sweet the mem'ry yet. Whene'er topped the neighb'ring
 hill,''
 Twas thou first rose to view, And then my heart the faster beat, My feet the faster flew. Thy turf its grassy banners waved, The flowers their censors swung, Thou gave to ev'ry bough voice, To ev'ry leaf tongue. And when outstretched within thy
 shade,
 My eyes to thee I'd raise, And down thy sparkling aisles of
 green
 Came songs of joy and praise. The varied hues the sun revealed Did f1eck thy whisp'ring leaves, As if shower had left it's bow, Entangled 'mong thy sheaves. And up this golden stair I climbed /. In fancy, to the sky, And felt that with sky so fair That heav'n itself were nigh. And round thee still sweet fancies
 cling,
 Like fragrant flow'ring vine; And hallowed mem'ries of the dead Do also thee entwine. Aye, mem 'ries of kind, loving souls, Whom shall meet no more Beneath thee dear, beloved tree, As oft did of yore. Nor see again grandmother face, When she stood at the open door, And scanned the road with a wistful
 gaze,
 As she'd often done before. And I sometimes think, so rare her
 love,
 Which thou didst share, oh, tree! She's watching, and in finer sense, A-watching still for me! Majestic tree, how sweet the tale Thy tuneful leaves could tell, Of the home her gentle spirit blessed, And where her mantle" fell. Thy vast magnificence deeply feel, Thou'rt one with mount and sea, And surely I to heaven kneel, Whene'er I bend to thee.

kidney trouble.
 Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble. because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
 It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ming in kidney trouble.
 If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-RoOt, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits SxE

Copyright. 1901. by John f. Hunt

During the last two years I have
made several successful transactions
along lines where I previously have
erred. To-day I believe that where one
gets to growing, the lower one hap
pens to be when one started, the
higher one will get when one ends.
When | was a boy went into a
country store to buy some goose-quill
toothpicks for Christmas present.
TO show you the kind of buyer was
at that time--I paid ten cents for a
package of a dozen, bought some other
things, and had three cents left. Lock-
ing the showcase over to see what I
should do with the three cents. saw
a broken bundle and took three more
goose-quill tOOthpicks at cent apiece.
had heard my father say he liked
that kind of toothpick, and | was
out for toothpicks.
Let me tell you about the kind of a
man the storekeeper was. He didn't
buy the way I did. He knew how to
buy to make money. He kept the
things that the people wanted. He
thought ahead of the people and
thought straight. He knew how to
buy and to sell for more than he paid.
Much of my time was devoted to
studying things that this Mr.. Store
keeper never thought of, and my mind
evolved such original but impossible
plans that l earned for myself the
reputation of being cup in the clouds"
Recently general manager intro
duced me to one of the directors of
his company. He said he had been
trying for several years to pull down
to earth one of the legs of this man!
In reviewing the last quarter of a
century, am pleased to see that soon
after making mistake, I recognized
the mistake, and by the time my
friends began to criticize me, l had
made some headway in planning
preventive of repetition.
Sometimes had little victories.
About the time I got the toothpicks. I
went into hardware store to get a
large pocket-knife. Pointing to the

his hand in the showcase, lifted the

me 1t was $1.25, and put the knife

RAILROAD MAN KILLED
Two Officials Of Rock Island Meet
Death on Motor Car


CHICKASHA: AS a result of hOr-
rible accident which occurred about
two miles west Of here one the Man
gum line OF the Rock Island, George
A. Richards and J. +. Johnson are
dead. The former was division engi.
neer and the latter roadmaster. Re-
liable information concerning the af.
fair is lacking. The two men left
Anadarl , on gasoline motor car, the
most probable theory being that they
were run down by the local freight
train. Another theory Is that the mo-
tor car had already been wrecked and
the men killed or disabled before the
freight train struck them. The re-
mains, which were terribly mangled.
were picked up by the local and
brought to this city.
Mr.. Richards came here about four
months ago from Trenton. Mo. His
remains will be taken to Milwaukee.
Mr.. Johnson has been roadmaster here
for five years. Both men were mar
ried.

TALIHINA's DISASTROUS FIRE
Half OF the Indian Territory Town
Goes Up in Smoke

\RIS. TEX: Word was brought
here by train crew of big fire
which wiped out the entire west side
OF the town of Talihina, situated
about one hundred miles north Of
here. They reported that this Sec
tion Of the town contained number
of business houses. two hotels, the
frisco depot and section house and
other improvements, all of which,
with the exception of the Frisco coal
shed and water tank, were totally de-
stroyed.
The rails were SO badly warped by
the heat that 1t was impossible to
run the train over them, and it was
found necessary to lay section Of
new track before the train could pro-
ceed. The fire is supposed to have
originated in a grocery store.

Artful ALTERATION.

A writer has discovered that many
OF the worst foes of the horticulturist
begin with "w," and he instances
worms, weevils, wind and other work
ers Of wickedness. This suggests a
Question as to whether there is any
natural grouping of good or evil
things under particular letters. Take
"b" for example, and consider how
many boons and blessings to man be-
gin with it. The baker, butcher and
brewer bring him bread, beef and
beer.
For additional foods he has bacon,
beans. bloaters, broccoli, broth, BIZ
valves, bananas, berries, biscuits, buns
and butter. After banquet of
bonnes-bouches he may bring out his
briar and blow his baccy while he he.
strides his bicycle. These are but
few OF the benefcent things included
under that blessed letter "b." Now,
as contrast, take 3D." and among
the first words we think of are damp

despairing, dead, drunk, and so on,
the very sound Of which is enough to
drive one into doleful dumps.-Tit

GUTHRIE: Oklahoma, according
to population, has larger proportion
OF rural mail delivery routes In oper-
alton than any western state. The
state of Texas, with it's millions of
population, has about 500 routes; Ne
braska, Kansas and Iowa have In the
neighborhood of 1000 each, and Mis-
souri, has about 800 in operation. In
this territory there are 400 routes in
lilies will be served by rural routes In
Oklahoma. This means that 100000
persons will receive their mails daily,
/, being delivered by rural carriers en-
plOyed by the government for that
purpose. Over 100000 Is disbursed
annually to rural carriers in this ter
ritory. and to this is another of the
benefits derived from the rural deliv-
cry system.
Four rural agents have been detailed
to Oklahoma. The work is nearly up
to date. and applications for new
routes are being investigated within
sixty days after their acceptance in
Washington. One Of the hindrances
to the extension of the service in this
territory is the condition Of the coun-
try route. The farmers fail to real
ize how necessary 1t is to have the
highways passable every month in the
year. but. although this condition pre-
vents the extension of the service. the
department hears less objections from
Oklahoma than other western states,
because Oklahoma applicants for car
rier offer to make the trips daily, even
when the roads are not in the best
condition.
