on the Hudson. A squall came up,
and during the excitement that en-
sued the owner of the sloop was
pitched into the water. While the
man overheard was struggling for his
life, the friend, who could not swim,
and who therefore made no attempt to
go to the rescue of his companion,
peered anxiously over the side of the
vessel
"-Abyi Abyi" he called out excft-
eddy, when his friends head appeared
above the water for an instant, 'if

There she sat at the supper table,"
was old Ben. He had worked on the
place as long as l could remember. l
met him now on the Threshold.
Hello, Jim, hello,' says he; back
at last-why, hello, hello. A welcome
to ye.'
Welcome? Welcome, with no Kit
ty; no sweetheart to claim my own;
no trace of the old times, nothing,
nothing-only an old man?
I'VE sat down on the doorstep and
he told me all about it-about Kitty,
her troubles with Joe Morgans and
how she finally had to marry him.
Her father and mother were both
dead
only Kitty left-only Ben to take
care of the place. No wonder my head
went around. 1 couldn't listen. 1 had
to go away. 1 was nearly crazy
crazy to see Kitty.
Il struck OFF over the green fields;

looked. There she sat at the supper

worked and grubbed for through four
long years.
Joe Morgans sat at the head of the
table. But 1 didn't look at him-my
eyes were on Kitty.
We'll, l couldn't stay there-there
was no use. Kitty lookes contented:
maybe she was. I waited till I saw
her get up from the table and brush
the crumbs from her lap then l crept
away and walked all night
After that my money went:
spent it; l gave it away-wasted it
Why, had lots of it, Why not? But
/ lived longer than l expected, and the
money went sooner than 1 expected. I
drifted here and there, but when
came to this spot settled down, and
I've made up my mind to die here
with my tulips They make me think

| anything happened, you know-Kftty
with her white apron and white sun
bonnet-Kitty kneeling among her
flowers, or leaning her little head on
my big shoulder, saying she'd never
like anybody but me-"
The old mans chin sank on his
breast, and he was silent for some
I en-. Lights were twinkling in the
windows.

Madame de Pompadour, one is inclined
to think not and to suspect that that
astute person had some other reason.
The extraordinary frankness of the
Directory fashions is too we'll known
to need description, but it is doubtful
if the low cut of the shortwaisted
bodices was by any means their worst
feature. They at least had small
covering for the upper part of the arm,
but the V shaped corsage of the 'SOs
had not the vestige of sleeve and was
very low in the neck besides.
In fact, for sheer stinginess of cover
ing those V-shaped bodices were
unique, and yet the days of the SOS
are on the whole, held to be extreme
ly respectable ones.
What about that reign of the low
necked frock in the early half OF the
nineteenth century, that period when
responsibility was enthroned and ex-
cessive refinement, not to say sQueam-
ishness and prudery, was the order
of the day? During that period gowns

The intelligence of the dog suffered
somewhat by an Athens narrative in
which it is made to appear that an old
dog owned by F. Holcomb recently
engaged with a RATHER on the low
grounds near the town, and was Sc
verely bitten. Mr.. Holcomb was ia
miliar with the formula for snake
bites. He had some of the medicine
on hand, consisting of whisky and
quinine mixed in quantities to suit.
Opening the dogs jaws he turned a
liberal dose down him. Two or three
days elapsed during which the animal
was unable to walk straight, yet he
seemed not to have any pain, and in
fact appeared to enjoy himself. But
at last he was sober again. One would
naturally think that having been bit
ten once he would have fought shy

ment he was able to navigate he was

son, Of Oklahoma, made public today.
The report adds:
'The people Of Oklahoma have in
the past demonstrated their capacity
to govern themselves. For over one
year in the early days the people were
without organized government, yet
they were q law unto themselves. The
. lawabiding instincts Of the American
citizen prevailed and crime and
wrongdoing were rare exceptions to
the splendid, orderly conduct Of the
people who laid the foundation Of the
commonwealth Of Oklahoma.
IN No Mans Land, now Beaver
county, the people lived for nearly
ten years in a land without law, and
absolutely free from the penalties Of
courts, yet society was pretty well
protected and the rights of the resi-.
dents generally respected. These con.
ditions were typical illustrations Of
the sentiment for law and order
which always has prevailed in Okla.
homa. The people of this territory
have the moral qualifications that en-
title them to statehood.
From an educational standpoint
they are eminently fitted for self-gov-
eminent The territory maintains
seven educational institutions of
higher learning, There are eight in
situations Of advanced learning in the
territory under control Of individuals
and benevolent institutions. There
are common schools maintained in
every neighborhood. More money is
expended for education than for all
other public interests. The advance
ment in public improvements has
been phenomenal. 1t Is believed that
in rapid development Oklahoma
stands unrivaled. The valuation Is
about $54O,OOO,OOO, if everything is
estimated at Its real or cash value,
worth Of property, the major portion
of our schools, and unprecedented ad'
vencement along all lines of enter

give the people of the territory au'
thority to exercise in full the rights
