Story Of the Day.
Muskogee Phenix: while waiting for
a traln one day last week. says Editor
Hall OF the Free Lance I'VE noticed a
farmer loading large box with a well
known mail order house tag on IT, and,
seeking information, we approached him
and engaged him In conversation. After
talking upon the usual subject, state
hood, for a short time, we asked him
why he didn't buy his merchandise from
the home merchant. Well. he replied.
you see, it's this way; I am almost
stranger In these parts and l don't see
any OF these merchants advertising that
the have what 1 want. And then my
neighbors all send to this firm for their
goods and they have always been
treated right. and one day l received q
catalogue from them, 50 Ma and sat
down and made out list Of what we
would need this winter It's good deal
easier that way; everything IS listed In
the catalogue with the prices. and per-
son can make out a list OF the things he
needs and he also sees a lot OF things
he didn't know he needed until he saw
them advertised. But l don't think
these merchants here keep them,
or maybe they don't want the tradf; and
I'm not the one to trade wEere they
don't want IT, We told him that the
home merchants carried just as complete
stock as could be found elsewhere. and
he said: Well, maybe they do but !
take the home paper and / see only
few OF them advertise, and, OF course,
they didn't keep everything we needed
so | thought 1 would order all my goods
from this firm while l was ordering and
We could get whai few little extra
things We needed during the winter in
town. If they had them to sell After
paying the freight ne turned and said
Wei, l must be going, as we are going
TO make out list OF the Christmas
things we need tonight and the cata-
logue says to get our order Ia early 10
avoid the rush with a parting nod he
got into his wagon and, seating himself
comfortably on the m. O h. box. he
drove away and left us standing upon
the depot platform thinking what a
bunch Of hard cash that mail order
house got from him by advertising
do you blame the farmer? If you
had invited him to call at your store you
could have had that money and also that
OF his neghbors What are you going
to do about Christmas trader Sit down
and wait for 1t 10 come 90 YOU. or hustle
for It? Haven't you tried that s-settin'
stunt long enough now? How many
merchants In Henryetta today are satis-
4 fed with their present trade? wake up.
/ Invite the people TO call ADVERTISE;
keep advertising and the mail order
houses win soon stop sending catalogues
TO Henyetta. DO 81 now"

Tom Ferguson. who had ruled his peo-

posed. but his enemies were sorey per-
picked; they could not agree among
themselves as to who should be his sue

Let us turn him out; let US cruelty him.
Amos said unto Bird and Cash: Let rs

mighty men Of valor and hold a pow

they had come together, Amos said, Lo'

Great Father that his friend, Frantz OF
rough rhder fame Is recommended by us
TO be the ruler Of our people You

And Bird and Cash journeyed many
days, and when they had come into the
presence Of the Great Father they said,
Lot these many days have we been
sorely distressed; thou. oh Teddy,
canst comfort us by appointing that
gallant rough rider Frank Frantz, to be
ruler over our people And Teddy inn

"Hudibras' "prose their doctrines or.

OF one Of the witnesses before the An

impression that the prize ring was

ever, testified that contestants gen.

fight" This hardly supports the the
ory that mutual pounding promotes
good feeling, but II the two youths who
cherished hatred let each other alone

their relations had been somewhat i'm.
proved.
The most important evidence OF this
later witness is his corroboration Of
the testimony Of an earlier witness
that Branch and Meriwether were per.
sonal enemies, and the fight was due
to their misbehavior to each other
The effort to show that the fight was
without personal illfeeling, and was
merely a compliance vita a so-called
code of honor, has broken down. Meri
wether provoked the fight because he
disliked Branch, who disliked him and
may have been equally willing to send
Meriwether to the hospital
The testimony of the midshipmen
says the Philadelphia Record, shows
beyond question that the officers al
the academy have made no effort tC
support the policy Of congress and o.
the country regarding hazing. Con
grets having iegislated against thu
hazing, the midshipmen were invited
by the superintendent to substitute
the prize ring. 1t is doubtful If th'
change we're an improvement; it Il
not doubtful that the midshipmen wer,
invited by officers responsible for tn
maintenance of discipline to evade th
law, and to maintain a code concerning
insults and personal honor and mean
of satisfaction which they are oblige'
to leave behind them when they gradu
ate. 1t would not seem to be beyon
the means of the superintendent t
make the young men behave them
selves and let each other alone If the
do not like each other, without broke
noses or broken necks.

NEXT PEACE CONGRESS
CONFERENCE MAY NOT MEET AS
SOON AS EXPECTED.

The State Department has been informed
that the effort to arrange a date for the
reassembling of The Hague conference has
been suspended for the time being, and it
is now believed to be clearly impossible
for the second conference TO meet early
next year, as was at one time expected
The delay does not arise from any indls-
position on the part of the great powers to
accept the Russian emperor's invitation
but simply because an important feature
of the program cannot be agreed upon I'M
I'll the government at Switzerland has act
ed. That government some time ago sent
out invitations to the powers to send dele
gates to convention to assemble at
Berne to consider amendments to the Red
Cross convention.
Now the first Hague conference consid-
cred some topics properly appertaining to
that convention, and in addition IL sug-
gested number OF kindred topics for con-
sheraton at the next Hague conference.
some OF the governments invited to at
| tend the second conference al The Hague
have made the point that they are thus
confronted with the possibility of being
Obliged to twice consider the same line of
SUBJECTS relating to Red Cross methods.
| and 1t has been suggested that the Swiss
| government withdraw its invitation to the
| independent conference at Berne or that
Red Cross matters be excluded from the
| second Hague conference. The Swiss gov
| ernment has so far shown no disposition
! 10 abandon Its projected conference, and
the effort to fix date for the second
| Hague conference is consequently sus-
pended
Some indications of purpose on the
| part of one or two Of the powers to have
details of the program for the conference
arranged in advance by negotiation are re-
garder here as threatening indefinite
pcstponcment of the conference. The be-
| lief here is that the body itself should be
| left to arrange its own program the pro-
| ceedinEs, OF course, to be subject. as in
| the case of the first conference to the APP
| prevail OF the various governments, and If
| that view is accepted, as seems probable,
| then the conference would not be bound to
| confine itself strictly TO the topics for
| consideration set out in Emperor Nicho-
| las circular note.
