A FASTIDIOUS YOUNG MAN
A Good Old Story That is Worth Re.
peatins.

The wind was wl1irling the fast
falling snow into high drifts. The
temperature was below zero and bade
fair to become the coolest night of
the winter.
A young man called on his best
girl that evening when the impend-
ing blizzard was but a gentle snow
fall. The hours whiled away and the
storm had increaed to such an extent
that it would be dangerous for the
young man to venture out, and as
his home was a distance away, the
young lady's father suggested that
he stay over night. This invitation
the young man accepted, but while
his room was being prepared he sud
denly disappeared
Every one searched high and low
but to no avail, so all retired.
Nearly two hours later they
were awakened by the ringing Of
the door-bell and there in the blind
ing snowstorm stood the young man
with a bundle under his arm. "For
goodness sakes where have you
been? asked the young lady's father
Why / only went home after
my pajamas, replied the young
man as he shook the snow from his
coat. New York Times.

NO ALTERNATIVE FOR THEM
CattIemen Must Pay the Cattle Tax. De-
lay is Costly.


There seems now to be no alter
native for the cattlemen. They must
pay the cattle tax Of rs cents on the
head. The timeis past for all parley-
ing with reference to the justice or
injustice Of the tax. The courts
have decidedin favor of the collec-
ton of the tax and the Federal gov
ernment has assumed its collection.
Within the past dayssome prom
inent cattlemen have been forced
TO pay the penalty for non-payment
which amounts to ST head.
A gentleman from Lone Grove
was here yesterday to see the col
lectors and receive the release Of his
cattle. He was forced to pay the
usual tax and in addition had to pay
the penalty for his delay which
amounted to $IIo.
It's always better to meet the
demands oflaw promptly. Delays are
proving to be too expensive. If
Chickasaw grass is not worth the
price the only alternative is to retire
from the cattle business until tribal
relations have been dissolved

AN IMPORT QUESTION RAISED
Is Dame" Cuss word7 Two Opinions
Damfweno.

The courts of the country lave
failed to determinewhether the word
Damn" is profane. The news
papers have now decided to settle
the question. Below is what a
couple of smart fellows have tosay
about it:
Graham, Texas News. The SUI
preme court of Connecticut says
that the word damn is swearing
The court of Mississippi says it is
not. Now, what are we going to
do about ii? AS for ourselves,
we thinks that it depends
upon local conditions. the frame of
mind of the Que using the ugly
word, and the circumstances by
which he is surrounded.
Joplin News Herald The word
damn" is not swearing.
1t is simply violent expletive,
and is regarded as profane among
the strictly orthodox from its inti-
mate association with the word
that usually accompanies it.
When we say that play presented
at the theater was damned by faint
praise, we are neither indulging il
profanity or swearing. When we
remark that we could knock that
damned cows head off for eating
our shrubbery, we are applying {
violent expletive to the bovine that
is somewhat shocking, but strictly
speaking not profane.

There are still a few men in this
town that are a positive detriment
to it. They own valuable property
and hold it so high that nobody can
buy it and will not improve it them
selves. Even if they do attempt
anything they build a little two-by-
twice shack that would not make a
decent barn on well regulated farm.
It might pinch the people nightly
but it would pay them in the long
run to get up fund and buy such
stiffs out, with the understanding
that they leave town and never re-
turn. Sapulpa Democrat.
